The Techniques of Communism: INVADING EDUCATION

IN UNDERMINING a nation such as the United States, the infiltration of the educational process is of prime importance. The Communists have accordingly made the invasion of schools and colleges one of the major considerations in their psychological warfare designed to control the American mind. By such "cultural" work, the Soviet fifth column obtains an influence, directly or indirectly, over at least a portion of American youth. Some of the young men entering our armed forces, and some of the young women who must support them, are brought within the orbit of pro-Communist thinking, to the detriment of our national security. Future community leaders are also affected. Many by-products beneficial to the conspiracy arise from this infiltration, since concealed Communists in education or their friends become sponsors of Communist fronts, aid in financing Communist causes, and sometimes play a part in influencing the attitudes of certain scientists, specific church circles, and government agencies.

As early as 1924, in lectures delivered at the Sverdlov University in Moscow, Stalin specified "cultural and educational organizations" as valuable allies in the Communist battle for world dictatorship. These Stalin lectures are now the famous Foundations of Leninism, published and studied widely by the Communists. It was in 1933, however, that extensive infiltration began in the schools and colleges of this country-encouraged by American recognition of Soviet Russia, and stimulated by the Open Letter to the Party. The Trojan horse policy of the People's Front, which had been initiated at the Seventh World Congress of the Communist International in 1935, gave added impetus to this activity. By May, 1937, the conspiracy considered that enough progress had been made in the schools and colleges to justify a special article of directives in that month's issue of The Communist, then the official theoretical organ of the Party. This article, "The Schools and the People's Front," laid it down as a necessity that "Marxist-Leninist analysis must be injected into every class." In order that this might be accomplished successfully, "the Party must take careful steps to see that all teacher comrades are given thorough education in the teachings of Marxism-Leninism." It was stressed that "Communist teachers are faced with a tremendous social responsibility." They must affect the children's thinking, and they must mobilize other teachers. But all of this was to be done from the work in the classroom to the agitation among other teachers—"without exposing themselves." (Italics mine).

This is the instruction which runs through all directives to the infiltrators of our schools and colleges: they must exercise their Communist influence "without exposing themselves." In this very article of May, 1937, an added precaution is given "Only when teachers have really mastered Marxism-Leninism will they be able to inject it into their teaching at the least risk of exposure."

The article by John Williamson in the November, 1950, issue of Political Affairs, dealing with general infiltration but referring specifically to trade union work, makes much of the same necessity. The Red infiltrators are there counseled to perform their task in such a way as not to be "exposed" and dislodged from their positions.

This method must be thoroughly understood. If it is not constantly kept in mind, the Red techniques of entering education and influencing its course will be completely missed. Those who contend that Communists should be permitted to teach in our schools "as long as they do not teach Communism openly in the classroom" have not acquainted themselves with the ABC of Red infiltration. And yet, the late Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, who represented a considerable section of conservative opinion, has made this grave error.

Other transmission belts used by the conspiracy include PTA speakers, assembly programs for children, career conferences for students, in-service workshop courses for teachers, and adult school lecturers.

The Scarsdale story illustrates what has happened in a great number of other communities. Scarsdale is one of the wealthiest suburbs in the United States; when we understand the materialistic philosophy of Communism, we can comprehend that this would be one of the fruitful centers of Red infiltration. The Communists laid plans as early as 1944 to invade Scarsdale and the other conservative precincts of Westchester County, New York. Lecturers and program directors brought into the school system there included Dr. Bernard F. Riess of Hunter College, whose pro-Communist record filled pages of Congressional hearings, and Dr. Bert Loewenberg of Sarah Lawrence College, sponsor and panel speaker at the notorious Waldorf-Astoria "peace" conference. Among the entertainers and speakers brought into Scarsdale, either to perform before the school children or to speak at PTA meetings and other community organization affairs, were: Paul Draper, the dancer, member of fifteen Communist fronts; Lisa Sergio, also with a Communist front record; Pearl Primus, who was built up as a dancer by the Communists; and Louis Dolivet, notorious Stalinist agent. Even to this day, the school board defends the exposure of the children's minds to these pro-Communist influences. The Town Club education committee, composed of business executives, whitewashed the scandalous conditions in the Scarsdale schools in a report published in the spring of 1953. At the very time when the Town Club education committee was preparing its report, Professor Irving Goldman of Sarah Lawrence College was appearing before the Senate Internal Sub-Committee, where it was brought out that he has been a member of the Communist Party and of Red cells at Columbia University and Brooklyn College. He knew individuals who have been exposed as espionage agents for Soviet Russia. But the Town Club report ignores Goldman's record, although he was one of the lecturers at the off-campus courses for Scarsdale teachers. (Address of Otto E. Dohrenwend, chairman of the Scarsdale Citizens Committee, before the Larchmont Knights of Columbus; printed in the Brooklyn Tablet, June 20, 1953).

In the colleges, much of the same picture appears in too many instances. At Princeton University, Professor H. Hubert Wilson is conspicuous in defending subversives in education and in supporting fronts. When the Communists organized the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee, Professor Wilson became associated with it. More than that, when an anti-Communist organization, the American Committee for Cultural Freedom, called his attention to the character of this front, he replied with a sneer. Professor Wilson became one of the speakers at the conference held at Carnegie Hall on January 30, 1953, which took up the cudgels in defense of the subversives. This is not surprising, since Professor Wilson was one of the prominent contributors to the smear-America issue of The Nation—in 1952. (Counterattack, vol. VII, no. 4, Jan. 23, 1953).

Corliss Lamont, most consistent of pro-Soviet propagandists, teaches philosophy at Columbia University, and his works on that subject are used in other colleges. Lamont has been named as a Communist before Congressional committees, and was for years head of the leading Communist front first known as the Friends of Soviet Russia and then as the National Council for American-Soviet Friendship. He has been on more Communist fronts than any other member of the academic profession. Frederick L. Schuman of Williams College is lauded as an expert in international affairs, although his record (which has been given) shows that his works have been written in collaboration with the Soviet foreign office, and that one of them was published by the Communist Party itself, designed to show that the United States is "mad" in defending itself. The much-touted work by Sydney and Beatrice Webb on Soviet "civilization" has received an almost reverential attention in many colleges and universities, although it is now known that vital sections of it were prepared by the Soviet secret police.

DHS Proposes Massive Expansion Of "Biometric Modality" Collection

Does anyone really believe America is still the land of the free?

What first seemed like a gradual slide in the federal government's use of biometrics is quickly becoming supercharged in a post-pandemic world.

Readers may recall since 9/11, DHS, the FBI, the CIA, and other alphabet soup agencies have transformed America into a surveillance state that could be on par with China in the coming years.

Activity in DNA and biometric-gathering by the federal government is set to surge. The DHS recently announced a "notice of proposed rulemaking" that outlines the agency could enlarge its collection of biometrics data by at least 2 million submissions annually.

The 328-page draft of the new rule (found here) proposes to amend existing DHS regulations "concerning the use and collection of biometrics in the enforcement and administration of immigration laws by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)."

The National Law Review highlights the key points in the forthcoming rule:

Unless waived by DHS, any applicant, petitioner, sponsor, beneficiary, or individual filing or associated with an immigration benefit or request, including U.S. citizens, must appear for biometrics collection – regardless of age.

There will be new biometrics modalities, including iris scans, palm prints, and voiceprints.

DHS may require DNA results to prove the existence of a claimed genetic relationship.

Foreign nationals who are granted immigration benefits will be subject to continued and subsequent vetting and biometric evaluation until granted U.S. citizenship.

New forms will be produced, including the new biometrics requirements.

Former NSC Member: Iran Wants Joe Biden in the White House

A former member of the National Security Council told The Kyle Olson Show that Iran prefers to have Joe Biden in the White House next year.

“The Iranian regime would prefer to deal with a Biden administration,” Ambassador Robert Joseph, who served at the NSC as Senior Director for Proliferation Strategy, Counterproliferation, and Homeland Defense during the George W. Bush administration, said.

“The experiences are starkly different,” he said of dealing with Trump versus the Barack Obama-Joe Biden administration.

“The Trump administration has, for the last 3 1/2 years, under the policy of maximum pressure, has been placing very punishing economic sanctions on the regime,” Joseph said.

The Trump administration has supported Gulf allies that have been targets of Iran, he argued.

Joseph said Trump has spoken out against “gross human rights violations” by the mullahs, and the administration “has been willing to stand up to Iranian provocations,” including the killing of Gen. Qasem Soleimani in January in Iraq.

He said the Obama-Biden administration “pursued appeasement in the hopes that the regime would become more moderate.”

“A false hope that various administrations have chased for decades,” Joseph said.

He told The Kyle Olson Show that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — the so-called Iran nuclear deal — was the “crown jewel” of the Obama-Biden administration’s efforts to deal with Iran.

Joseph argued Iran got everything it wanted in the deal, including the ability to enrich uranium and research and develop nuclear weapons.

The Islamic regime received “well over” $150 billion, including pallets of cash infamously delivered in the dark of night.

That money was then used to support aggression against the U.S. in the region and “subsidize terrorist proxies like Hezbollah.”

“The Biden team today has made very clear its desire to resurrect the JCPOA, despite its many flaws,” Joseph said.

He argued Biden would be “willing to pay a very high price” to pursue that strategy.

29 dead including 2 children, dozens missing from West Coast wildfires; President Trump to visit fire-ravaged California

Heartbreaking story of two boys dying from the devastating wildfires.

Wildfires have devastated states on the West Coast; at least 29 people have been killed, dozens of others missing, and hundreds of thousands have been forced to evacuate their homes.

The National Interagency Fire Center reports that 97 large fires have burned 4.7 million acres across the western states. Over 29,000 firefighters and support personnel are battling the wildfires, along with 2,200 fire engines and 103 aircraft. There are evacuation orders in place due to 40 large fires in California, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.

Oregon Governor Kate Brown (D) noted that nearly 900,000 acres had burned by Friday. "In the last 10 years, we see an average of 500,000 acres burn in an entire year. We've seen that nearly double in the past three days," Brown said.

Approximately 500,000 in Oregon have evacuated or have been instructed to be prepared to evacuate, which is more than 10% of the state's population.

Oregon's emergency management director, Andrew Phelps, told MSNBC that the state is preparing for a "mass fatality incident" because of the wildfires. "There are going to be a number of fatalities, folks who just couldn't get warning in time and evacuate their homes and get to safety," Phelps said.

Wyatt Tofte, a 12-year-old boy from Lyons, Oregon, and his 71-year-old grandmother Peggy Mosso died while trying to escape the fire. The boy took shelter in the family car, but the flames surrounded him. A family spokeswoman said Wyatt was found by himself in a car, and the family's dog was found dead in his lap.

Trump Administration Officials Meddled With CDC COVID Docs, Report Claims

US President Donald Trump and his officials have faced accusations of downplaying the coronavirus pandemic and attempting to conceal or distort COVID-19-related data. The president's administration, however, praises its own coronavirus response, referring in particular to successful testing campaign.

Health Department aides appointed by US President Donald Trump tried to interfere with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) weekly COVID-19 reports in order to shape the data to fit the president's coronavirus-related agenda, Politico has reported, citing three people familiar with the matter.

According to the report, officials describe it as "an attempt to intimidate the reports’ authors and water down their communications to health professionals".

"In some cases, emails from communications aides to CDC Director Robert Redfield and other senior officials openly complained that the agency’s reports would undermine President Donald Trump's optimistic messages about the outbreak", Politico claimed, citing e-mails reviewed by the media outlet and three people familiar with the situation.

The CDC has reportedly "fought back" against "the most sweeping changes", but allegedly agreed at times to have "compromised on the wording", the three unnamed sources said.

According to the report, it has primarily been a Trump-appointed health department official, Michael Caputo, who has instructed the CDC to alter its reports to fit Trump's statements.

"Caputo and his team have attempted to add caveats to the CDC's findings, including an effort to retroactively change agency reports that they said wrongly inflated the risks of Covid-19 and should have made clear that Americans sickened by the virus may have been infected because of their own behavior", Politico's sources suggest.

Attempts to change the language of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports (MMWR) regarding COVID-19 that are written by scientists and health experts have reportedly been made throughout the summer and up to "as recently as Friday afternoon".

Israel to enter full-blown lockdown, shut schools & close most non-essential businesses starting September 18 - report

Tel Aviv is poised to declare the whole country a “red zone” due to a spike in Covid-19 cases, limiting people’s movements to a 500-meter radius from home and closing all non-essential businesses that serve customers in person.

The sweeping lockdown is set to take effect on September 18 at 6 a.m. local time, multiple Israeli media reported on Saturday. The Israeli cabinet is expected to approve the new stringent restrictions on the movement of people as well as on commerce as soon as on Sunday morning, Haaretz reported.

Although concerns about an imminent “second wave” of the coronavirus, particularly regarding its possible overlap with a common seasonal flu, have been mounting and several European countries have already reported a surge in cases, Israel becomes the first nation to plunge back into a nationwide lockdown after the previous one was phazed out back in May.

The draft resolution, prepared by the Health Ministry, and seen by the Haaretz, halts or severely restricts the operation of all businesses that require staff to serve clients in person for at least two weeks. Residents will still be able to shop for groceries, with supermarkets and grocery stores being exempted from the ban. The exception is also carved out for medical supply stores, including drug stores, as well as for cell phone places and repair shops. All cafes and restaurants will be prohibited from serving diners inside, but allowed to offer delivery and takeout.

Those businesses, which will be greenlit to operate under the lockdown, will have to cap the number of staffers at 30 percent or at 10 people, depending on which figure is higher. The same 30 percent rule will apply to government offices.

Except for trips to get necessary supplies or to work, Israelis will have to abide by a 500-meter rule, meaning that they may go as far from their place of residence.

Perhaps, the toughest restrictions of all will affect schools, that, according to the proposal, will shut their doors as early as Wednesday this week. Pupils, that have just started the new school year, are expected to switch to remote learning. The move will likely mean just another vacation for preschoolers, with the Israeli Preschools Council saying that the educators would be forced to put the learning process on hold. The changes will not affect special education and boarding schools.

The move comes after the Jewish nation reported a highest daily toll of Covid-19 infections on Thursday - 4,038 cases, after crossing the 4,000 threshold for the first time on Wednesday.

Police say they expect to charge Natalie Bonett after she was dragged from car

Dramatic footage shows a woman scream “get off me” as she is ripped from her car by police at a Victorian virus checkpoint. Now police have responded.

Police say they expect to charge a woman shown in confronting footage being physically dragged from her car by a police officer at a coronavirus checkpoint in Victoria.

In a video shared on social media by Natalie Bonett, she claimed she was going through a checkpoint in the town of Wallan, which was something she said she did “every single day”.

Armed with her license and permit, she said she was stopped before entering the checkpoint.

“The police officer told me that it was against the law to have my phone on a car charger mount on my windshield,” she wrote in a public Facebook post.
