“We will bury you!” - Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev - circa 1956
As reported in Time magazine on Nov. 26, 1956...
At the final reception for Poland's visiting Gomulka, stubby Nikita Khrushchev planted himself firmly with the Kremlin's whole hierarchy at his back, and faced the diplomats of the West, and the satellites, with an intemperate speech that betrayed as much as it threatened.
"We are Bolsheviks!" he declared pugnaciously. "We stick firmly to the Lenin precept€” don't be stubborn if you see you are wrong, but don't give in if you are right." "When are you right?” interjected First Deputy Premier Mikoyan€ and the crowd laughed. Nikita plunged on, turning to the Western diplomats. "About the capitalist states, it doesn't depend on you whether or not we exist. If you don't like us. don't accept our invitations, and don't invite us to come to see you. Whether you like it or not. history is on our side. We will bury you!"
Just the day before, ambassadors of twelve NATO nations had walked out on a Khrushchev tirade that lumped Britain, France and Israel as bandits. Now Khrushchev was off again.
The Kremlin men cheered. Gomulka laughed. Red-faced and gesticulating, Nikita rolled on: "The situation is favorable to us. If God existed, we would thank him for this. On Hungary” we had Hungary thrust upon us. We are very sorry that such a situation exists there, but the most important thing is that the counterrevolution must be shattered. They accuse us of interfering in Hungary's internal affairs. They find the most fearful words to accuse us. But when the British. French and Israelis cut the throats of the Egyptians, that is only a police action aimed at restoring order! The Western powers are trying to denigrate Nasser, although Nasser is not a Communist. Politically, he is closer to those who are waging war on him. and he has even put Communists in jail."
"He had to," offered Soviet President Kliment Voroshilov. Khrushchev turned on him and said: "Don't try to help me."
"Nasser is the hero of his nation, and our sympathies are on his side. We sent sharp letters to Britain, France and Israel€” well, Israel, that was just for form, because, as you know, Israel carries no weight in the world, and if it plays any role, it was just to start a fight. If Israel hadn't felt the support of Britain, France and others, the Arabs would have been able to box her ears and she would have remained at peace. I think the British and French will be wise enough to withdraw their forces, and then Egypt will emerge stronger than ever."
Turning again to the Westerners, Khrushchev declared: "You say we want war, but you have now got yourselves into a position I would call idiotic" ("Let's say delicate," offered Mikoyan " but we don't want to profit by it. If you withdraw your troops from Germany, France and Britain €”I'm speaking of American troops€” we will not stay one day in Poland. Hungary and Rumania." His voice was scornful as he added: "But we, Mister Capitalists, we are beginning to understand your methods."
By this time, the diplomats€ who, in turn, have come to understand Mister Khrushchev's methods€” had already left the room.
... It was explained later that Mr. Khruschev’s comments referred to communism being superior to capitalism would infiltrate capitalist societies and take over their institutions and turn them against capitalist using the very laws established for capitalism.
It was explained that communist would infiltrate our Education system, our political system, and all of our systems and destroy us from within “without firing a shot”.
The way to do this would be first to turn the United States into s Socialist Nation and over time convert it to Communism.
How successful have they been since 1956?
The ACLU was founded by a communist and has been a major source for tearing down the institutions of Capitalism the United States was founded on. As a Nation endowed by it’s creator the U.S. has prospered but the ACLU is pressing hard to take religion out of U.S. schools and towns.
A recent Gallup poll is simply incredible. Thirty-six percent of Americans have a positive image of socialism, including 53 percent of Democrats. Just 17 percent of Republicans think socialism is good.
Now, socialism is the exact opposite of capitalism, which is our system in America. A socialist believes the government has a right to control and/or seize private property and regulate the distribution of goods and services.
That means the government has all the power. You have none. Can you say Fidel Castro? And 53 percent of Democrats think that's a positive thing? It's hard to believe.
Gallup boss Frank Newport says his company did not define socialism when it asked the question. Therefore Gallup believes that some of the respondents simply don't know what socialism is, and that is certainly possible.
In Western Europe, there are countries that have a hybrid kind of socialism: very high taxation, redistribution of wealth, but they don't seize private property outright. In Cuba, Venezuela and China, the government can seize anything and shoot you if you don't like it.
So let's be kind and say many Americans simply don't know what true socialism is.
Even so, the poll is disturbing because there is a trend right now by the Obama administration to expand the federal government and to redistribute wealth. Those are socialist tenets. No question about it.
Some Obama critics contend that he is a socialist, but we can find no evidence of that. Mr. Obama likes his property, and I don't believe he wants to seize my house.
However, there are people like Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont who do, and those people are stalwarts in the Democratic Party.
It is long past time for Americans to wake up. The far left in this country wants to diminish personal power and impose social justice on the nation. They want to erode our personal freedoms in order to right what they consider wrongs brought about by capitalism.
America was founded on hard work, personal responsibility and honest achievement. The feds are there to protect us from outside danger and to make sure the system does not embrace corruption.
Socialism has no place in the USA. Period.
Help fight creeping Socialism in the U.S.
Study Socialism and learn what it really is.
Study Communism and learn what it really is.
Study U. S. History outside what you are being taught in school and learn what the U. S. was found on and how our founding fathers created the U. S.
Study the Constitution and read the Federalist Papers to learn why our Constitution was written and what it really stands for.
Read the Bill of Rights and read them for what they say as they were written, not how you hear them explained on the news or in class.
Read and understand the 10th Amendment as it is written not as politicians explain it:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Elect politicians who understand and believe the power of our government comes from the people and the Federal government is limited in what it can do.
Behead the Socialist Bums and get them out of politics, education and other institutions.
Help us raise money to fight creeping Socialism before it becomes Communism. More to come, check back from time to time for additional information.
