Both Houses of Congress have been blessed with their share of volatile anti-American misfits Some of the illustrious Congressional elite envision tyrants of the totalitarian left as poor misunderstood neurotics or wayward juvenile delinquents. Still others consider an appeasement-minded pro-Communist foreign policy and no win wars as in Korea and Vietnam to be in the national interest Why are known Communists who vow to destroy America allowed to run for public office? Why are known Communists who vow to destroy America allowed to be members of Congress? Why is a Communist allowed to take the oath for the House or the Senate and swear to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" when, in fact, they are the enemy? The oath of office for a Senator ends with "So help you (Representative-'me') God." What meaning can this possibly have to a Communist who is by his very conditioning a professed atheist? Yet, out and out Communist Party members have held and some still do hold seats in today's Congress. Yes, some members of Congress have been and are a part of the international Communist conspiracy This is an unpleasant but undeniable fact A number of Representatives and Senators through ideology, blackmail, or sheer opportunism have allowed their names and position to be used to aid Communism through front organizations and subversive activities. Some House members boldly allowed Communist revolutionaries to use their office space. The Red conspirators then organize activities against the best interests of the United States The distinguished historian Otto Scott revealed: "There are men in Congress whose staffs are in constant touch with the Soviet Embassy; there are others in Congress whose careers have been based upon close associations with Communists and Communist causes. "For the first time in our history we see an American Congress that regards an American President as a worse enemy than an implacable foreign power that is already unloading troops and weapons on our own continent and that openly declares it seeks our defeat." Read that again It's unbelievable, but true : "For the first time in our history we see an American Congress that regards an American President as a worse enemy than an implacable foreign power that is already unloading troops and weapons on our own continent and that openly declares it seeks our defeat."

Security risk Dean Acheson started out in government as Roosevelt's Under Secretary of the Treasury in 1933. He'd been vigorously recommended by, and was the prot g of, leftist Felix Frankfurter of Harvard, later to be appointed an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court in 1939. Felix Frankfurter was known at the time to be a Communist agent. Despite this, he was appointed by FDR to the Supreme Court This subversive was a radical attorney who once filed charges against the Justice Department because of its anti-Communist activities. In 1917, Frankfurter became one of the "Insiders" in President Woodrow Wilson's "Braintrust". Former President Theodore Roosevelt stated unequivocally that Frankfurter's attitude was "fundamentally that of Trotsky and the other Bolshevik leaders in Russia." President Eisenhower, according to former Red Party member Maurice Malkin in 1972, was suffering from the virus of appeasing the Communists. He appointed, as a payoff for election favors, Earl Warren as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Then followed the stoppage of prosecutions of the Communists under the Smith Act. Warren Court decisions had a major impact on America's internal security protection. Important internal security laws were systematically voided. No longer could Communist operatives dedicated to the destruction of the United States Government be made to name their associates under oath The right of a congressional committee to investigate Communism and Communists was severely restricted The Communist Party was no longer required to register as a subversive organization Martin Dies was for seven years chairman of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. He had this to say in April of 1967: "One by one the Court has destroyed every legal weapon which Congress and the states have constructed to defeat the treasonous activities of the domestic agents of the International Communist Conspiracy." "Where Congress and the states have legislated, the Court has invalidated," charged Dies. "Where the FBI and the states' attorney Generals and our Bar Associations have moved to prevent sedition, the Court has remonstrated; where the Secretary of State and our Governors and loyal federal administrators have acted to remove Communists and subversives from vital positions in our government, the Court has reinstated." "The one area where there seems to be some predictability with respect to the Warren Court's action is where cases involved the interests of the world Communist conspiracy and its arm in this country, the Communist Party, USA," suggested Senator James O. Eastland on May 2, 1962. "It is moving decision by decision, toward establishment of the Communist conspiracy in the United States as a legal political entity, with just as much right to exist and operate as any political party composed of decent patriotic American citizens. "When suppression would help the Communist cause, the Court suppressed. "When preemption would help the Communist cause, the Court has pre-empted. "When invention would help the Communist cause, the Court has invented. "When misstatement would help the Communist cause, the Court has misstated." "It would be extremely interesting to hear Mr. Justice Black try to explain how it was possible to believe that the Communists were right in every one of the hundred and two cases in which he participated," offered Revilo P. Oliver in December of 1963. "Some members of it the Supreme Court] have knowingly served the purposes of the Communist conspiracy, thus adding to the crime of judicial corruption the even greater crime of treason.''

Americans were fighting and dying in a tragic no-win War in Vietnam. Communist Occupied China was supplying the North Vietnamese enemy with light weapons, military equipment, at least 4,000 battle hardened officers and 320,000 combat veterans Yet, a Georgia newspaper headline revealed this shocker: "RED CHINESE SOLDIERS TO TRAIN AT FORT BENNING." Yes, Americans were ordered to train the soldiers of a deadly Communist adversary they were already facing in battle during the Vietnam War Who could possibly have approved such leftist lunacy? A nameless and faceless Defense Department spokesman offered a ludicrous rationalization for training soldiers from Communist Occupied China. He said: "The United States Government now regards China as a 'friendly, non-allied' country. "This policy is based upon the assessment that a modernizing, more secure China -- which shares with the United States a common threat the Soviet Union] -- can be an increasing force for peace and stability in East Asia As China has been in Cambodia, Vietnam, Tibet, Korea, etc.?]." Strangely enough, the Department of Defense still secretly listed Communist Occupied China as "hostile to the United States". This was the same lame excuse used years ago by leftists regarding Communist Occupied Russia. Americans were then told the snarling Russian Bear must be aided and appeased to make it "feel more secure." The Soviets had to be fed and armed because "a common threat" was shared. At that time the "common threat" was supposedly Communist Occupied China. Suffice to say, Communist Occupied Russia saw fit in 1985 to sign a very friendly $14 billion trade agreement with America's new found Red Chinese "ally". Marine Lieutenant Robert G. LoPresti had to use worn-out equipment in a field hospital near Pleiku. Spare parts weren't available for the generators at the field hospitals. Nor was the proper medical equipment Wounded marines died unnecessarily as a result. Upon returning to the United States, LoPresti found the Communists were being supplied massive quantities of the same spare parts and equipment needed in Vietnam by American forces He revealed in January of 1969: "The same machinery I couldn't get, the same equipment that would have saved the lives of those marines was declared 'non-strategic' and shipped to the very countries that supplied the rifles and bullets that are killing our men "I remember visiting the Sixty -Seventh Evacuation Hospital in Qui Nhon. "Walking through the intensive-care ward, I saw dozens of soldiers who had been maimed and mutilated. "They had lost arms or legs, they were covered with plastic and swathed in bandages stained deep red by their own blood. "Most were in agonizing pain or under heavy sedation. "I knew that many would not live and others would be crippled and disfigured for life. "Seeing this bitter fruit of our government's madness, I wondered how our politicians would try to explain to these men about sending 'non-strategic' items to an enemy that has pledged to destroy us." The "politicians" never bothered Nor did any of them intend to A new era in treason was begun within weeks after Senator Barry Goldwater lost his Presidential bid in 1964. The radicalized Johnson Administration officially sanctioned a traitorous trip to wheel and deal for expanded business behind the Iron Curtain. The Honorable Ezra Taft Benson correctly charged in 1968: "In the waiting rooms of the Kremlin, American businessmen dream of personal gains and profits while thousands of American boys in Vietnam are slain by Communist bullets made in the USSR." Yes, while the war in Vietnam raged the United States merrily aided, fed, traded with, loaned money to and armed America's avowed Communist enemies throughout the world.
