A History Lesson On The ACLU
from Gribbit. See the rest in followup posts at Stop the ACLU.

---

I researched the Congressional Record dated Wednesday, September 20, 1961. Very important information relating to the ACLU and it’s Communist/Socialist ambitions.

Dr. Fredrick Schwartz, executive director of the International Christian Anticommunism Crusade, “Communist Legal Subversion,” page 75, House Committee on Un-American Activities:

“Any attempt to judge the influence of Communists by their numbers is like trying to determine the validity of the hull of a boat by relating the area of the holes to the area which is sound. One hole can sink a ship. Communism is the theory of the disciplined of few controlling and directing the rest. One person in a sensitive position can control and manipulate thousands of others.”

FBI Director, J. Edger Hoover called Communists, “Masters of Deceit”. He continues, “Fronts probably represent the party’s (communist) most successful tactic in capturing non-Communist support. Like mass agitation and infiltration, fronts espouse the deceptive party line (hence the word “front”), while actually advancing the real party line. In this way the party is able to influence thousands of non-Communists, collecting large sums of money, and reach the minds, pens, and tongues of many high-ranking and distinguished individuals. Moreover, fronts are excellent fields for party recruitment.” The FBI director, people!

And how does this tie into the ACLU? I’m getting to that. The two co-founders of the American Civil Liberties Union are Roger Baldwin and Crystal Eastwood, both confessed socialists. Roger Baldwin was on the record of over 100 Communist front affiliations. In an article that he wrote for “Soviet Russia Today”(September 1934), “When the power of the working class is once achieved, as it has been only in the Soviet Union, I am for maintaining it by any means whatsoever.” He goes on to say, “The class struggle is the central conflict of the world, all others are coincidental.” He also wrote in a book commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Harvard graduating class of 1905 (in 1935), “I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and sole control of those who produce wealth: Communism is the goal.”

Dr. Harry Ward, the first chairman of the ACLU, was linked to over 200 front affiliations of the Communist Party. And was the chairman of one of the largest front organizations in this country, “The American League for Peace and Democracy.” Which was placed on a list of subversive organizations by the Attorney General of The United States on June 1, 1948. Dr. Ward authored two pro-Soviet books, “Soviet Democracy” and “Soviet Spirit”, which garnered him an investigation by the California State Senate Fact Finding Committee on Un-American Activities. The Committee stated on page 246 of their report, “The Communist affiliation of Dr. Harry F. Ward is indicative of the Communist sympathies of the members and sponsors of the ‘Friends of the Soviet Union.'”

Since this history is far reaching, I will continue this subject in tomorrow’s main posting. I don’t wish to overwhelm my readers with too much information. But should you wish to read up on this subject further, you can read the entire Congressional Record for September 20, 1961, by clicking on the title of this [article]. It is rather eye opening.

“Deportees” is the name we should start calling ALL “illegal aliens”. Why? Frankly, this “protest” from Pioneer, California students is enough:

And do see THIS POST, Tuesday’s regular Guard the Borders post, which has links to some VERY IMPORTANT background posted by LinkZona on why control of our borders/immigration is essential to our country’s survival. THIS IS NOT AN OPTION. We either establish a firm control on our borders and on immigration or the U.S. WILL NOT SURVIVE.

As April 15th approaches, millions of us are again poring over receipts, records and other information relevant to our federal income taxes. After getting everything in order, we will be forced by the complexity of the tax code to take it all to an accountant or other tax professional, who will spend a few very expensive hours working through a process our own government doesn’t even understand much of the time. Finally, our tax preparer will place in front of us a stack of papers, some of which we will be expected to sign.

Now, do you read every page in that stack, or do you simply place your signature, as I do, on the lines indicated by this individual in whom you have placed so much trust? Millions of us do it every year. But what if among those papers was a consent form to sell your personal information to third parties to market their products and services to you?

This is the convoluted reasoning of the Internal Revenue Service, where career bureaucrats believe that such conduct should be allowed. In fact, the IRS is proposing new rules that would permit tax preparers to sell your private financial information, right up to and including your actual tax return itself, to marketers and data brokers.

Currently, selling client information to third parties for marketing purposes is prohibited. That would change, however, under the proposed rule revision. And since this policy could only benefit the person buying or selling your information, with no imaginable benefit to you, the motivation to obtain permission by any deceptive means necessary seems extremely high. Incredibly, according to a recent article in the Philadelphia Inquirer, IRS officials characterize these changes as “housecleaning measures needed to update regulations adopted before it began accepting returns electronically.”

Had enough? There is a solution.

The time has come for Americans to demand that our elected representatives come to grips with the fact that the current federal income tax code is broken and cannot be fixed.

Following up on a citation in Chaos Manor Musings/View, I read A Plan to Replace the Welfare State, in Opinion Journal Online. The model Charles Murray proposes isn’t THE answer (for one thing it’s still keeping the feds in the income redistribution business), but it’d be a profound change from what is, and could have some positive effects on society. And would definitely have unforeseen effects, as well…

But it would at least address one serious issue in our society, as well as re-introducing at least some Darwinian effects.

…For the great majority of people living in advanced societies, it is easily possible to go through life accompanied by social companions and serial sex partners, having a good time, and dying in old age with no reason to think that one has done anything significant.

Murray is worth listening to, but I fear the Mass Media Podpeople and their ilk will simply NOT let something that emphasizes personal responsibility get off the ground…

“I was stunned to learn that a black child was more likely to grow up living with both parents during slavery days than he or she is today… ” –Joy Jones in her recent WAPO article, “Marriage Is for White People“.

Go. Read the article. Come back. Talk among yourselves. I’ll return later with my thoughts.

Will I or won’t I… at Basil’s Blog?

I had intended to feature another “under read blog” yesterday and let things get away from me. Consider this a “Monday Most Under Read Blogs” post, anyway, ‘K?

Now, note the criteria: blogs that are easy to read for at least 2 reasons: easy-on-the-eyes design and interesting, well-written posts. By “under read” I’m not evaluating the blog’s traffic, just saying that IMO whether the blog has 1 reader a day or 10,000 readers a day, it deserves more traffic, eh?

So, who to pick on this week? (Lotsa candidates, ya know–lots).

I’m going to go with Freedom Watch this week. At first Doll’s spare layout may seem to some to be a little bland, but *ahhh!* easy-on-the-eyes, and her blog design, from plenty of white space to the little touches like the drop shadow behind pics, all make a harmonious sight to behold, and do nothing to detract from why I visit: to read Doll’s posts.

Like this one on the progress of Reconquista, or this one, “Idiots and Puppets”.

Give Doll’s blog a read. You’ll likely place her on your list of regular reads, too.

I’ve been way too slow in responding to AbbaGav’s post Keeping up with what’s current in music. Sorry, bubba, I’ll just plead Early (or maybe not so early any more :-)) Oldtimers’ Disease.

The mp3 below is from the album pictured here. Buy the album for a critique of pop music that extends beyond just the mp3 I have posted… way beyond.

And just cos I didn’t get a rise outa anyone when I posted this yesterday, I’m re-dating it and making it an Open Post. Link to this post and trackback.

“Invasion” is the only accurate description of the illegal alien problem this country faces. And the Mass Media Podpeople’s Army is in the vanguard providing support…

UPDATE: Here’s one reason “multi-culturalism” is a prescription for destruction of the U.S. from within:

This week’s Guard the Borders blogburst from Heidi features some of my favorite essays on the topic from LinkZona.

This past week there were numerous demonstrations across the country, as immigrants were organized to protest any federal legislation that would tighten immigration enforcement. The rallies were organized by unions, church groups, socialist activists, civil rights advocates, and immigrant organizations to demand free immigration rights as their due and protest the “unjust laws” of our nation.

Los Angeles had the nation’s largest mobilization of immigrants ever, which the LA Times described as “boisterous” and “spirited” and “mostly peaceful”: “The marchers included both longtime residents and the newly arrived, bound by a desire for a better life and a love for this county.” (“Newly arrived” being a politically-correct euphemism for “illegal”.) The estimated crowd of 500,000 proudly carried tens of thousands of Mexican flags, which belied the blissful claim that they are “bound by a love for this country”.

“There has never been this kind of mobilization in the immigrant community ever,” said Joshua Hoyt, executive director of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. “They have kicked the sleeping giant. It’s the beginning of a massive immigrant civil rights struggle.”

In Georgia, many Latinos protested a newly passed bill aimed at curbing illegal immigration by not working or shopping for the day. Guess what? The state’s economy didn’t collapse! A small American rally in Temecula, CA, focused on border security and law enforcement. We also saw peaceably demonstrating American citizens attacked by an unruly crowd of pro-illegal immigration and socialist protesters in Indiana.

This week, our Senate continues the debate on illegal immigration, with an upcoming vote on the McCain-Kennedy Amnesty bill. And, pressing for his “guest worker” program, our President repeats the tired (and untrue) refrain that our country needs these workers to do what Americans won’t:

“We must remember there are hardworking individuals, doing the jobs that Americans will not do, who are contributing the economic vitality of our country,” the president said in his weekend radio address.

However, the Minuteman Party has responded:

Abdul Rhamin’s life put on “hold” by the Afgan court in which he was charged with converting to Christianity.

“The court dismissed today the case against Abdul Rahman for a lack of information and a lot of legal gaps in the case…” according to an official statement.

Charges dismissed… for now. Until the prosecution gets all its ducks in a row? Or just until international pressure dies down? I suspect the latter, since there’s no word that Rhamin ever denied his conversion to Christianity.

No hint (so far) that the case has been dismissed “with prejudice” as would likely be the case in any court proceedings here, with a case this far along. (Don’t ask me. I’m not a lawyer and I haven’t slept in that hotel chain that claims it makes people think they’re smarter.) Keep a watch on this one, folks. But watch “smart” ‘K? Check out Dafydd ab Hugh’s take for a “smart” response. Oh, and his comments on this twist are worth noting as well.
