FINAL WARNING: The Communist Agenda
who said in a speech on the floor of the Senate, on June 29, 1961,
concerning world Communism: “We can hope to do little more than
mitigate our problems as best we can and learn how to live with them.”
He believed that once Russia caught up to the United States in
technology, relations would improve between the two countries. He
advocated increased aid, and compromises to avoid direct
confrontation. He felt that the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba did
not endanger our national security. When Tito, the Yugoslavia dictator,
joined with Russia to provide “all necessary aid to North Vietnam,”
Fulbright said that Yugoslavia had “proven itself a reliable and stalwart
associate in the advancement of certain interests on which our
interests coincide.” Later, the Johnson Administration sent them
700,000 tons of American wheat, 92,000 bales of cotton, and gave them
a loan for $175 million to aid their economy and industry.Jimmy Carter said in 1980: “Being confident of our own future, we are
now free of that inordinate fear of communism.” Walter Mondale said
in 1981: I’m very worried about U.S.-Soviet relations. I cannot
understand– it just baffles me why the Soviets these last few years
have behaved as they have. Maybe we have made some mistakes...”
Sen. John Glenn, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, said
in 1983: “I don’t think you want to involve American troops even if El
Salvador was about to fall to communist-backed guerrillas.” Many of
our country’s leaders have become soft on communism, because they
are no longer perceived as a threat.In his last book, With No Apologies, Sen. Barry Goldwater wrote: “The
Russians are determined to conquer the world. They will employ force,
murder, lies, flattery, subversion, bribery, extortion, and treachery.
Everything they stand for and believe in is a contradiction of our
understandings of the nature of men. Their artful use of propaganda
has anesthetized the free world. Our will to resist is being steadily
eroded...”In an effort to appear that they were embracing democracy, Mikhail
Gorbachev introduced ‘glasnost’ (‘openness’) and
‘perestroika’ (‘economic restructuring’) in the Soviet Union in 1985,
and the Russian people began to experience a degree of freedom
never before seen. However, these reforms failed, and communism as
a form of government ended when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.
