Communism In Action: Part One (1962, sound)

[Music] e [Applause] first we will take Eastern Europe next the masses of Asia then we shall encircle the last Bastion of capitalism the United States of America we shall not have to attack it will fall like an overripe fruit into our hands paraphrase and summarized that in essence is the plan for World Conquest outlined by Vladimir lenon father of Russian communism no matter who the Kremlin boss has been since Lennon's death in 1924 the Communists have never deviated from this master plan nor on the strategy necessary to carry it out it is still their blueprint for Conquest today complete world domination is the ultimate goal the major Target the Great pridee the United States of America General Carlos romulo ambassador from the Philippines past president of the United Nations General Assembly sounded this urgent warning in a reader digest feature article America wake up the editors of the Readers Digest commented a wise and loyal friend of the United States warns us the cold war is a real war it's far later than we know the Communists can win without changing their tactics we cannot win without changing ours we must assume the offensive we dare not stand still to better understand this threat to our freedom we will piece together many bits of recent history this ideological Warfare actually began November 7th 1917 when barely 8 months after the uprising that dethroned Zar Nicholas II lenon and his Bolshevik overthrew the first democratic government in Russian history terrorists methods crushed all but sporadic resistance and by 1922 the Reds controlled most of Russia in that year the Union of Soviet Socialist republics was formed by lenon and his henchmen since then bit by bit the Communists have steadily pushed toward their goal of world domination they have used bribery lies Bluff brutality the most extensive and most successful Espionage Network in world history mass murder on a scale never before dreamed of and every possible means to advance them along the road to World Conquest always Guided by Lenin's blueprint World War II proved to be an aid to Soviet Ambitions for a world communist Empire Stalin made his notorious deal with Hitler in August of 1939 and the following month the German Panzer divisions rolled into Poland in just four weeks Russia and Germany were cutting up Poland dividing the spoils the Reds moved next against tiny Finland the fins fought courageously but Moscow got a toe hold in the little Baltic nation and soon thereafter the Reds infiltrated Estonia lvia and Lithuania taking over the three little nations from within the Baltic people resisted not in an organized way but individually hundreds of thousands of Freedom loving people were seized thrown into cattle cars and sped off to Siberian slave labor camps the Soviet timetable for Conquest was interrupted when Germany turned on the Kremlin and invaded Russia as Germany drove deep into Russia the vast numbers of Russian fighting men with American lendley Aid proved a formidable obstacle this combined with our own bombing raids and ground strength broke the German armies but the onrushing Allied Forces were halted from going through Eastern Germany Czechoslovakia and the Balkans by a fateful decision of our government leaders the stage was set for Stalin's execution of the first phase of Lennon's master plan the Takeover of Eastern Europe while maintaining the fiction of a coalition government the Communists gradually reorganized each state along Soviet lines and liquidated or discredited all organized opposition their task was made easier by the years of Nazi repression which had weakened Democratic groups non-communist parties lacked funds and the generous support that was forthcoming from Moscow for local Communists however the Supreme Advantage enjoyed by the Communists was the close proximity of the Red Army and the inaction of the western Nations Arthur Bliss Lane resigned his post as ambassador to Poland and put on record in his book I saw Poland betrayed what he had witnessed of communist ruthlessness and the unaccountable apathy of American and British Statesmen Ambassador Lane wrote our policy of appeasement towards Soviet Russia undoubtedly embolden Stalin to go ahead with his plans for the complete domination of Poland as of all other countries of Eastern Europe in 1947 Poland was forced into the growing family of satellites a year later while the West remained apparently oblivious Czechoslovakia was added once the freest nation in Central Europe Czechoslovakia was an ally of the West and the Red Army had withdrawn in the fall of 1945 however president Benes was pressured into forming a provisional government of the national front in which the key posts of ministries of interior defense information and agriculture were held by Communists or fellow Travelers on February 25th 1948 with the Army police and all means of communication in communist hands vanesh yielded to communist strongman goal's ultimatum and Czechoslovakia became a satellite of the Soviet Union on March 10th 2 weeks after the Communists seized power foreign minister Yan museri was found dead below the window of his office an Associated Press Foreign Affairs editor wrote this memorable dispatch Yan mazerik although deeply devoted to democracy thought he could do business with Communism his suicide is a monument to his recognition and a warning to the world that no such course is possible in September at the age of 64 Edward Benes president of the Republic of Czechoslovakia was dead even the Communists could not deny him a state funeral and a tearful Nation lined the streets of Prague to mourn the death of a man and a republic so fell one by one the Eastern European nations victims of Soviet infiltration subversion or Force Estonia lvia Lithuania East Germany Poland Czechoslovakia Hungary Romania Bulgaria Albania until almost all of Eastern Europe had disappeared behind a curtain of iron in Greece and Austria where we acted to give real assistance to those who resisted the red Advance was soled but they continued the drive for power in Western Europe where internal Revolt has little chance of success the Reds work to establish a so-called Democrat rtic socialist government where they can entrench themselves until the Communist Party takes over John stry a top official in the labor Socialist Party of Great Britain was for many years an openly avowed communist in his book the theory and practice of socialism he wrote it is impossible to establish communism as the uh immediate successor to capitalism it is accordingly proposed to establish socialism as something which we can put in the place of our present decaying capitalism hence Communists work for the establishment of socialism as a necessary transition stage on the road to Communism England has recently discovered the large extent of communist infiltration into her civil service in France the Communist party is one of the largest single political parties this is also true in Italy where the communist made important gains in governmental power in 1962 from the Baltic to the Mediterranean the Russian hammer and sickle covered the land and the Soviets turned to the second step of Lenin's plan the Takeover of the masses of Asia a powerful communist machine headed by Moscow trained agents had long been entrenched in China but it was the concessions gained by Stalin at the Yalta and potam Conference in the absence of Chun kek that opened the door to Soviet Conquest a worldwide communist propaganda campaign was initiated picturing maot Tong as a great agrarian reformer and creating hate for Chung kaihk agitation became widespread for a truce between the Communist Chinese and the Nationalist armies pressure was brought for the cessation of US military aid to nationalist China in 1945 President Truman sent General George Marshall to urge Chong kayek to take the Communists into a c coalition government in China Chong refused however a temporary truce and an arms embargo were affected by General Marshall soon after the Embargo went into effect the Chinese Reds supplied by the Russians with excellent equipment from Manchuria moved into action again this tragic turn of events in China raised questions by Congressional leaders and in the summer of 1947 General Albert C wedm was sent to China to determine whether the United States should resend its embargo and send supplies to ch's forces wedam me's report withheld from Congress and the American public by presidential order stated that with Aid the nationalist forces could prevent China's fall to the Communists it was 9 years after the Communist takeover of China when General W's report was finally published however in 1949 the fall of China to the Reds aroused some political personages who spoke out critically among them congressman John F Kennedy of Massachusetts who said over these past few days we have learned the extent of the disasters befalling China and the United States our policy in China has reaped the Whirlwind the continued insistence that Aid would not be forthcoming unless a coalition government with the Communists was formed was a crippling blow to the Nationalist government this statement was reported in the February 21st 1949 Congressional Record president must not forget those words a report on a subsequent investigation by the United States Senate read the Judiciary Committee in the report it has just issued finds a conspiracy communist inspired that led to American defeat High American officials were duked policies were influenced that gave the Communists their greatest victory in the Years following the Chinese nationalists defeat the Reds have strengthened and Consolidated their hold poor farmers who owned a few acres of land land and objected to communist collectivization and the breakup of their families were liquidated the dead more than 20 million the Chinese called it SE which means deprived of existence at the end of World War II Soviet troops occupied North Korea to disarm surrendered Japanese forces by 1948 the Soviet Union had created a new satellite out of North Korea over 2,000 Soviet Koreans Communist party members from Korean commun ities in Russian territory had been placed in control of North Korea buttressing these political experts were Soviet and Chinese military advisors and 22,000 Korean troops trained by the Chinese Army on June 25th 1950 the Communists launched a fullscale invasion of South Korea American commanders who served in Korea during the fighting returned home bitter and deeply Disturbed to two congressional committees our commanding Generals in Korea testified Mark Clark said I was not allowed to bomb the numerous bridges that were across the yalu river and over which the enemy constantly poured his trucks and his Munitions and his Killers stretto you get in war to win it you do not get in war to stand still and lose it and we were required to lose it we were not permitted to win MacArthur stated such a limitation upon the utiliz ation of available military force to repel an enemy attack has no precedent either in our own history or so far as I know in the history of the world it was a costly War 54,2 64 Americans sacrificed their lives additional casualties numbered 13,28 a bitter price to pay for losing a [Music] war this pattern of unprovoked aggression was continued by the Chinese Reds throughout Asia in 1959 their Russian supplied Army overthrew the independent self-governing nation of Tibet persecution of the strongly anti-communist Buddhist priests inflamed The Devout Tibetans to revolt this was brutally suppressed by the Chinese Red Army the religious leader the Dal Lama and thousands of his devoted followers fled to sanctuary in India rather than submitted to communist tyranny to the southeast of Tibet in Vietnam the Communist ho Min masqueraded as leader of the vietnames Nationalist movement the French agreed to recognition of the new state and ho pledged them his loyal cooperation however within 2 months Ho's forces launched a surprise attack on the French and plunged Vietnam into a war that has cost more than 60,000 casualties and left over 2 million homeless by 1962 the United States was deeply involved as the struggle spread to South Vietnam in neighboring La us trained and equipped laian troops have fought a 10-year Shadow war against Vietnam communist Invaders important as a military backo La is the gateway to Thailand and Burma and conquest of Southeast Asia International communism has a heavy stake in each of these invasions the 600 million people of communist China are desperately in need of food and Ma's forc industrialization program is badly in need of raw materials in Indonesia Communists supported president sucaro threatens and reaches for more territory at the expense of the Dutch in New Guinea International communism has established important Beach heads not only in Europe and Asia but also in the Middle East and Africa in nearly every part of the world they have instigated nationalistic revolts student riots assassinations political unrest and civil strife the extent of infiltration and subversion by Kremlin agents in Latin America has been demonstrated in Mexico El Salvador Chile Ecuador Guatemala Venezuela as well as other Latin American countries early in 1948 bogot Colombia was the scene of a significant demonstration of Communism in action Dr George Gan popular liberal leader and Idol of the Colombian masses was assassinated in an attempt to disrupt the 194 interamerican conference and discredit the Colombian government a well-plotted Uprising was touched off by Red agents they claimed that the Colombian president was responsible for gan's death communist L workers and students seized votar radio stations and attacked the Palace of Justice in all more than 136 buildings worth over $21 million were destroyed before police subdued the mob the Colombian national police have in their files evidence and testimony linking Fidel Castro with the bot assassination and riots and identifying him as a communist agent yet warnings as early as 1958 that Fidel Castro was a communist or a longtime willing tool of world communism fell on deaf ears in the United States instead leading American news media jumped blindly on the Castro bandwagon portraying him as a romantic Rebel a Robin Hood leading a fight for social justice the pro Castro atmosphere that resulted brought about withdrawal of military aid to the anti-communist Batista government again as with the fall of China the United States ordered an embargo at a crucial point in the Cuban Revolt however Castro's agents in Florida were able to obtain great volumes of fighting equipment purchased mostly with communist supplied funds millions of dollars from Russian and Chinese subsidies were channeled through secret groups in several Latin American countries Nathaniel Wild's well-documented book red star over Cuba gives details of this including the quote from Stanley Ross editor of Elario de no York who wrote that Castro bought entire regiments from Batista's officers and on one occasion purchased for $650,000 cash an entire armored train complete with tanks guns ammunition jeeps and 600 men with the fall of the Batista government to Castro's Shaggy band of revolutionaries on January 1st 1959 the first completely communist government in the Western Hemisphere was established to escape the brutal communization of their country thousands of Cubans have fled to the United States by every possible means in a 5-hour speech broadcast by Havana radio on December 2nd 1961 Fidel Castro removed all doubt when he announced that he had been a communist since his student days at the University of Havana Nikita kruu welcomed him to the Communist ranks and declared we must stir up fires where we can Cuba we have helped and shall help further without fear the United States did not interfere in Cuba thus Lennon's airs to the dictatorship of world Communism had begun the third and final phase of the master plan the encirclement of the United states in the United States only 90 mil from Cuba activities of communist agents who called themselves Americans have made headlines aler his who had the confidence of an American president and access to vital Secrets Harry Dexter white a key man in the US Treasury Judith Copan working amazingly enough in the Justice Department itself bernon Mitchell and William Martin employees of the National Security Administration who who suddenly disappeared with valuable secret information they turned up in Mexico then Cuba then Moscow Captain Joseph E kman of the United States Air Force in Europe convicted of Espionage for the Soviets in 1962 this is only a partial list of Americans who have betrayed their country to Communism here in San Francisco USA American University students riot against the house committee on American activities FBI director Jay Edgar Hoover issued this special report over his signature in his report Mr Hoover shows how known communist agents infiltrated campuses in the San Francisco area promoting and inciting more than a thousand students to Riot against the house committee which for over 20 years has investigated and exposed communist activities in America Mr Hoover also revealed that Gus Hall national leader of the Communist Party USA sent congratulations to the West Coast comrades for the initiative and Leadership they displayed at all stages of the demonstration in conclusion Mr Hoover issued a sober warning to the people of America in looking at the riots and Chaos Communists have created in other countries many Americans point to the strength of our nation and say it can't happen here the Communist success in San Francisco in May 1960 proves that it can happen here the FBI has investigated the enemy at work in all areas of our national life congressional committees have documented the fact that Communists have penetrated a number of labor unions Communications networks areas of Education some church organizations our federal government our legislative Halls our armed services these agents are dedicated highly trained and secretly working for the overthrow of our nation and the Triumph of World Cup communism by 1950 the first phase of the master plan had brought 116 million people in Eastern Europe under communist domination in Asia the second phase has already added 700 million and activity in Southeast Asia has been intensified by the Communists and now with the acknowledged communization of Cuba and increasing red penetration in Latin America a giant step has been taken toward the complete encircle of America the Communists will allow nothing and no one to stand in their way recently 67-year-old Nikita kof granted I want to see the red flag flying over the entire world in my lifetime kop ultimately blows hot then cold about Berlin creating a crisis when it suits his needs using the pressure as a wedge to divide the NATO powers or simply to divert attention from a furtive grab for power in another part of the world in order to provide the tanks and troops the money for Espionage propaganda and subversion kusf keeps the inhabitants of Russia and its satellites at a bare subsistence level Terror and intimidation prevent the people from expressing their resentment against the regime which promises so much but gives so little 67% of the women and the children over 14 are in the labor force the average Russian's personal income is less than $10 a week in terms of purchasing power kof rules a nation where only 4% of the population have any voice in the government and most of those have only the right to applaud in his callous climb to power kruu has been responsible for the suffering and death of millions the crimes of kruu have been verified by Congressional committee Witnesses who testified under oath and documented their charges with data and photographs smuggled out of Russia among the crimes they charged were 30 years ago a secretary of the Ukrainian Communist Party kusf directed The deliberate starvation of Ukrainian peasants who rebelled against forced collectivization of their land and estimated 6 to 7 million innocent men women and children died as a result of this man-made famine in 1945 kushev supervised the mass arrests of priests and Bishops in the Ukraine at that time there were 4,400 Catholic churches 127 monasteries today there are none in 1956 the Soviet dictator sent Russian tanks and troops to slaughter the Hungarian students and workers who wanted freedom from communist tyranny students suspected of sympathy or participation in the Revolt were sent to labor camps in Russia in spite of this massive documentation and warnings from informed sources there are many Americans today who will not believe the terrible truth about this man who holds supreme power over the Soviet Empire World communist leaders gathering in Moscow in 1961 for the 22nd Communist Party Congress were told by kusf that the United States has entered a phase of mounting difficulties and crisis the phase of its decline the victory of socialism on a world scale is no longer far off will this fantastic prediction come true we are a nation of 186 million people many of whom are totally uninformed or apathetic toward the true nature of this grave problem we have become a nation in which the responsibilities of citizenship are being ignored we are encircled by International communism and the enemy is in our midst they Advocate so-called peace fronts and preach coexistence while working to destroy faith in America's constitutional government and the benefits of private Enterprise we can halt and ultimately destroy the Communist master plan for Conquest if our people and our leaders have the courage and the will to win this cold war we must support our government by being well informed and by taking an active part in government we must enforce the legal safeguards which enable our government to deal effectively with communist fifth column activities which have penetrated the vitals of our nation we must stiffen our citizens and our nation's diplomatic attitude toward the entire communist International conspiracy and the brutal despots leading it we must arouse our friends and neighbors to a better understanding of the value of personal freedom and to the importance of keeping government close to the people we must take a clear look at our moral weakening in our churches our schools our homes we must build the caliber of leadership ship that a free people must have in order to remain free it is too late for continued aath we must realize the true meaning of patriotism as did such heroic Americans as Nathan hail who chose death instead of tyranny with the proud words I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my C since our nation was founded Americans have not faltered when our country was in danger from the farmers at Lexington and Concord the frontiersmen at the Alamo the Valiant Doughboys who sleep in Flanders and the Marines on ioa Americans have paid the ultimate price for our freedom this war against communism is your War at this crucial moment of human history will you enlist and pledge a part of your mental physical material and spiritual resources in this fight on the manner in which Americans respond to this challenge rests the Future Hope of all free [Music] men [Music]
