Three Days in January

By Rich Kozlovich

The title is a take off on the movie Seven Days in May which I think is a great movie, and I think more people should watch it and realize just how close America came to be taken over by a cabal of wannabe dictators in the military, the bureaucracy, and the Democrat party.  

“Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out.” ― David Horowitz

Seven days in May was about a military take over, but the principles are identical to what we saw going on for the last four years, which actually started with the Obama administration.     

Well, there will be no "Seven Days in May" because Trump has, in just Three Days in January, scared the daylights of those working (and I use the word working loosely) in the Stygian stables of the federal government.  

I read where generals are saying they're willing to work with Trump.  What?  Talk about delusional!  They're not required to "work with" the President of the United States, they're require to work for the President of the United States.  They're required to salute, say "Yes Sir", shut their mouths, do what they're told or resign.  It's just that simple! 

I will say this, if there ever was a time to be a junior officer in America's military, it's now, as promotions are going to be coming fast as furious as Trump fires a lot of generals, admirals (Of which 41 of them are four star officers.  All during WWII there were only 7 four star generals) along with others who've failed to understand their proper role.  Some of whom need to be court martialed. 

1. Milley's game
2. General Mark Milley: “You’re Fired!”

I had conversation with a very good friend who is also very conservative, and I commented that Trump was 78, and I understand how his mind works because I'm 78, and time is running out for both of us, and make no mistake, he will not let anything get in his way to save the nation from the leftist insanity of the Democrats, academia, the media, the bureaucracy, the military, or corrupt insane billionaires like George Soros.  Nothing is going stop him this time, and make no mistake the efforts by the left to do so will be massive. 

He's going all out since time isn't on his side.  He has nothing to lose, and everything to gain.  What will that gain be?  Restoring sanity to the nation, and as a result, he may end up being the greatest President America ever elected since George Washington. 

The Election Wizard listed what Trump has done in his first three days:

1. Humiliated the World Economic Forum. 
2. Released JFK, RFK, and MLK assassination files. 
3. Fired woke DEI employees. 
4. Designated cartels as terrorist organizations. 
5. Authorized ICE to remove illegal immigrants. 
6. Restored freedom of speech. 
7. Revoked security clearances for certain officials.
8. Withdrawn the U.S. from the WHO. 
9. Pardoned January 6th political prisoners and other political prisoners. 
10. Moved toward controlling Greenland and the Panama Canal. 
11. Secured one trillion dollars in support from Saudi Arabia. 
12. Made progress in ending wars that started under Biden.

I remember when the media would cite FDR's first 100 days as the touchstone for what a President should be like.  That's horsepucky because his presidency was a socialist disaster the corrupt media and Hollywood supported.  Fortunately that media is dying, both electronic and print, and it won't be long before they're going down the drain, and no one cares what these celebrity pinheads think.  America and the world is hearing the truth for a change since the "alternative" media is now ascendant.  Even P&D is getting over 100,000 hits a month, from all over the world, and P&D isn't tied into any group or system that promotes P&D. 

1. CNN, NBC Planning Mass Lay-Offs Amid Tumbling Ratings, Revenue 
2. Disgraced CNN to Lay off Hundreds as Viewership Collapses

 If this is what Trump can do in three days, think what the next four years will be like.

Let Me Tell You About Harry Hopkins

 By Rich Kozlovich

If you looked up Hopkins in Wikipedia you could only come away with the impression he was a dedicated public servant from his early life who was called into service by Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s to administer New Deal programs such as the Temporary Emergency Relief Administration, the Civil Works Administration, and the Works Progress Administration.  

Hopkins became a major policy voice in the Roosevelt administration and he easily had more access to the President than any other advisor, especially since he ended up living in the White House for three and one half years, even living there with his third wife for a time.  His influence was so strong he was known as the “deputy President.”  It is also  believed that he was a Soviet agent. 

This appeared in Wikipedia regarding comments from one of his defenders: 

“Verne W. Newton, author of FDR and the Holocaust, said that no writer discussing Hopkins has identified any secrets disclosed, nor any decision in which he distorted American priorities in order to help Communism. As Mark demonstrates, Hopkins was not in fact pro-Soviet in his recommendations to FDR, he was anti-German and pro-U.S. Any "secrets" disclosed were authorized. Mark says that at the time, any actions were taken specifically to help the American war effort, and to prevent the Soviets from making a deal with Hitler.”

Well, that is what we shall examine, especially since so much information has come out in the 1990’s regarding Soviet spies, communists and fellow travelers who infiltrated the highest levels of the Roosevelt Administration, including Hopkins.

We have to understand that the media was heavily infiltrated with Stalinist sympathizers or outright Communists from the 1920's on. But not only the media!  During the Great Depression FDR expanded government tremendously when he created all those new agencies.  Agencies which very quickly became infiltrated by Communists, allowing them to act secretly as agents for the Soviet Union while on America's payroll; largely with the help secret communists acting as agents for Stalin like Harry Hopkins.  

In the book entitled The Sword and the Shield information about this era and the people involved in Soviet spying during the 20th century was based on copied KGB documents smuggled out of the USSR, which had been hidden under the floor of his country home until “1992 when British intelligence managed to get both him and his six trunks of copied documents out of Russia”.  

Hopkins was in fact a Soviet agent, as confirmed by KGB defector Oleg Godievsky named as a Soviet intelligence agent. In fact he quoted another KGB operative Iskhak Akhmerov as saying that Hopkins was “their most important Soviet war-time agent in the United States”.  The intercepted messages between the Soviet Union and their agents in the U.S. (known as the Venona intercepts) clearly showed that Hopkins was contact No. 19. 

Hopkins was directly responsible for getting Roosevelt, who was totally unprepared and extremely ill, to go to Yalta and negotiate what would become the fate of Eastern Europe under Stalin's iron boot, as Reed Irvine states in his January 5, 2000 article, “Harry Hopkins: Traitor, Not Hero”, saying; 

“Hopkins said the Russians had been "reasonable and farseeing." Robert Sherwood, a Roosevelt speechwriter, called Yalta "a monstrous fraud." Hopkins had been instrumental in our supplying, with no conditions, the arms that enabled Stalin to defeat the Germans. He helped seal their control of Eastern Europe, and he is suspected of having authorized shipments of uranium that helped them develop their A-bomb."

Hopkins would time and time again come down supporting Soviet positions, including sabotaging the Polish government in exile’s efforts while extolling the Soviet puppets as the true leaders of Poland.  He even denounced in vehement terms the Red Cross investigation of the murders of several thousand captive Polish officers murdered in Russia’s Katyn Forest.  A crime we in fact know was committed by the Russians, in order to be assured there would be no leadership in Poland that could work against their long term goal of absorbing Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe. 

There is an argument in defense that he was and “unconscious agent” and "simply acting as a "back channel" to the Russians, maintaining informal East-West contact."   Evans and Romerstein point out that this is an explanation that doesn't fit the facts:

"If Hopkins were merely trying to maintain such contact, he could have done so through Soviet ambassadors Litvinov, Constantine Oumansky, or Andrei Gromyko, or members of the Soviet Purchasing commission, all of whom were in the United States in legal fashion at one time or another, and with whom Hopkins could hve had all the dealings that he cared to.

They go on to say:

Akhmerov, however was an illegal operating under false cover and would not have revealed himself to Hopkins unless absolutely certain his secret KGB identity would be protected.  So, whatever Hopkins’s motivation, “unconscious agent” doesn’t fit the picture.

Hopkins died young in 1946 at 56 years old, but Hopkins may have been one of the most influential people of the 20th century because through his deception and treason he left a legacy of Communist imposed tyranny on much of the world.  

But he didn't do it all by himself!

The History Lesson You Never Learned! The History Lesson You Were Never Taught!

 By Rich Kozlovich

This is the history lesson everyone should have gotten and never received.  As I have said they in the past – they just won’t teach history. 

I have known about the Venona Intercepts for years, and I have known about the infiltration of Soviet agents and fellow travelers who worked to support and promote Stalin and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics from the 1920’s and on.  I knew that Joe McCarthy was a nut job, but I also knew he was accurate in his description of Communist infiltration of the State Department.  Remember that the House of Representatives, run by the Democrats at the time also held hearings on this, known as the House on Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).  But that was only the tip of the ice berg. 

Wartime agencies such as the Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the CIA, the Office of War Information (OWI) and the Board of Economic Warfare (BEW) were heavily penetrated by "Communists, fellow travelers, and Soviet agents".  They were in positions to exert influence regarding intelligence, information flow and procurement. When the war ended thousands of those staffers would end up being transferred to the State Department, many of them Soviet agents.   "The security problems hatched in the war would thus come to roost at State." 

Soviet spies and sympathizers infiltrated the White House, Department of Defense, and all of the agencies created by Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  But mostly they heavily infiltrated the Treasury Department, which had enormous influence on FDR in his frail dealings with Stalin at Yalta and Teheran, virtually giving Eastern Europe to Stalin and later Asia via the Communist takeover against the Nationalist government run by Chiang Kai-shek.  

I have posted information in the past discussing this, but two things happened recently that have motivated me to really expand on this important history.  A history that is virtually unknown to most people.  First, I have been reading, Stalin’s Secret Agents, The Subversion of Roosevelt’s Government, by M. Stanton Evans and Herbert Romerstein, and secondly I watched the attacks on Michelle Bachmann.  Mark Levin noted the scorn congressional colleagues directed at “Reps. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, and three other House members who asked for an examination of evidence that the parent organization of jihadist groups such as al-Qaida and Hama were wielding influence on U.S. policy from within”, saying “The lawmakers were “treated like pariahs”!  

It was impossible to miss the similarities to what is happening now and what happened to those who challenged this massive infiltration of Communists in the federal government.  This included military personnel whose career advancement ended for speaking up, along with investigative personnel, including the FBI.  When the upper echelon is sympathetic and those around them are able to control the information flow and decision making long term problems are created that can't be easily overcome or ever overcome.   

So I have decided that we need an in depth history lesson.  There are names here that you may recognize but don’t really know the details about them, and there will be names unfamiliar to you.  That will all change. 

The Silvermaster File

Arguably the most comprehensive, detailed FBI file on attempted Communist and Soviet penetration of the Federal government, based initially on the allegations of former Soviet espionage courier Elizabeth Bentley (code-named "Gregory" by the FBI, by which name this file is also known), beginning in November 1945.  (This list is tip of the iceberg. RK)

The Silvermaster File of the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation is a 162-volume compendium of some 26,000 pages of documents relating to the Bureau's investigation of Communist penetration of the U.S. federal government during the Cold War.

 

Beginning in 1945 with the allegations of defecting Soviet courier Elizabeth Bentley (Venona cover names “Myrna”; Umnitsa, “Clever Girl”), the file is also known as the Bentley file or Gregory file ("Gregory" was the FBI code name for Bentley).

 

The file takes its name from Nathan Gregory Silvermaster (Venona cover names Pel, Pal, "Paul"; "Robert") of the War Production Board, whom Bentley named as head of an underground Communist network known as the Silvermaster Group. Among the people named in the file in connection with this group are President Franklin Roosevelt's Administrative Assistant Lauchlin Currie (Venona cover name "Page") and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Harry Dexter White (Venona cover names “Lawyer”; “Jurist”; "Richard").

 

Also named in the file are Victor Perlo (Venona cover name "Raider " ), chief of the Aviation Section of the War Production Board, and contacts of his Perlo group, including Alger Hiss (Venona cover name “Ales”secretary general of the United Nations Charter Conference. (Like several others identified by Bentley, Hiss had been identified independently by another defecting Soviet courier, Whittaker Chambers, to Assistant Secretary of State Adolf Berle in 1939.) Among dozens of others named by Bentley in this file in connection with this network is Duncan Lee (Venona cover name “Koch”), confidential assistant to William Donovan, founder and director of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), wartime predecessor of the CIA.

 

Joe McCarthy was right. 

 

 

The Left Finds Its Alger Hiss

Paul Kengor July 25, 2018

In the case of Mariia Butina, the lengths to which derangement is driving the left. Another sign of the left is losing its mind and overplaying its hand in the Trump-Russia saga is the sudden obsession and fulmination over a Russian woman named Mariia Butina.

 “Republicans Have an Alger Hiss Problem Named Mariia,” exclaims the title of a Politico piece getting a lot of play in the press. It states:

Alleged Russian spy Mariia Butina was arrested just a few days short of the 70th anniversary of the last major accusation of Russian infiltration in America’s political system: when on August 3, 1948, Time editor and ex-communist Whittaker Chambers publicly accused former high-ranking State Department official Alger Hiss of being a Soviet agent. Rattled Democrats, including President Harry Truman, handled the fallout poorly, hesitating to distance themselves from Hiss and unwittingly feeding a conservative narrative that they were soft on communism. Republicans are now having their own Alger Hiss moment.

The article reminds us that Hiss was convicted of perjury in 1950, served 44 months in prison, and that “intercepts declassified just before his death strongly indicated Hiss was a Soviet agent for years.” Thus, states the author, the Hiss conviction left a lingering stain on the Democratic Party and on liberalism.

“If Republicans handle their Alger Hiss moment as awkwardly as Democrats did,” insists the article, “they face a similar fate.”...................

For starters, Hiss was a U.S. government official who, among other things, illegally took files from his State Department office in the evening and brought them home to his wife, Priscilla, who typed up duplicates to deliver to the Soviets, before he returned the files the next morning. Whittaker Chambers was the courier who delivered these documents (“at least 52 times,” Chambers testified) to Soviet agent Boris Bykov.

This is no place to rattle off a full litany of Hiss’s misdeeds, but it is a good place (especially in service of a badly misplaced analogy to Butina) to correct one 70-year-old misperception of the left — namely, that Hiss’s role at Yalta wasn’t very involved. One of the best and most succinct recent examinations of Hiss at Yalta  was the 2012 book, Stalin’s Secret Agents: The Subversion of Roosevelt’s Government, by Stan Evans  and Herb Romerstein. Chapter 3, “See Alger Hiss About This,” is a blockbuster, relying particularly on the diaries of Edward Stettinius, who was no less than FDR’s secretary of state during Yalta. Stettinius’s papers sit at the University of Virginia, where liberal scholars ignore them. Stan Evans, however, bothered to take a ride to Charlottesville to give them a read. What Evans found is a devastating case against Hiss, FDR, and Yalta............To Read More.....

My Take - I read the book linked in the article and I highly recommend it and I also recommend American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation's Character ... by Diana West.  This has nothing to do with pest control so why did I post this? 

To demonstrate just how badly the left infested the federal government with Soviet agents, socialists and fellow travelers.  Just because the Soviet Union no longer exists doesn't change their philosophical predilections.  The original actors are gone but their ideological progeny are there in mass, and they no longer have to hide.  And their goal is the same now as it was then.  Destroy the American economy and overturn the Constitution to impose a socialist state on America. and environmentalism is now the spearpoint for that action. 

Make no mistake about this.  It's clear from so much new information that FDR had to have known his administration was totally infested with these traitors (including the one who lived in the White House for two years) and worked in collusion with them.  That "deep state" still exists, and it's called treason.
