Raagan and McCarthy witch hunt and other things

Post by Pigeon » Sun Nov 27, 2022 12:50 pm

Reagan’s F.B.I. connection is rooted in the turbulent years of post-World War II Hollywood, a time when, Reagan has written, his worldview was coming apart. His film career, his marriage to Jane Wyman and his faith in the political wisdom received from his father, an F.D.R. Democrat, were all faltering.

The timing was thus significant when, one night in 1946, F.B.I. agents dropped by his house overlooking Sunset Boulevard and told him that Communists were infiltrating a liberal group he was involved in. He soon had a new purpose; as he wrote, “I must confess they opened my eyes to a good many things.”

The newly released files flesh out what Reagan only hinted at. They show that he began to report secretly to the F.B.I. about people whom he suspected of Communist activity, some on the scantiest of evidence. And they reveal that during his tenure as president of the Screen Actors Guild in the ’40s and ’50s, F.B.I. agents had access to guild records on dozens of actors. As one F.B.I. official wrote in a memo, Reagan “in every instance has been cooperative.”

Reagan went on to make his fight against Communism in Hollywood a centerpiece of his talks as spokesman for General Electric in the 1950s. Those eventually became broader warnings about what he saw as creeping socialism. The founding fathers, he declared in his 1961 speech, believed “government should only do those things the people cannot do for themselves.”

• Reagan largely ignored the AIDS epidemic while tens of thousands of people were dying of the disease.

• Reagan’s administration pushed Congress to pass the Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act, which mandated that the FTC would no longer have any authority whatsoever to regulate advertising and marketing to children, leaving markets virtually free to target kids as they saw fit.

• Reagan’s Supply Side (i.e. “Trickle-down”) Economic policies slashed taxes for the rich, allowing the upper classes to horde more and more money, leaving the rest of the nation with crumbs.

• Reagan mobilize anti-black sentiment among whites for political gains by actively fostering racial disharmony and hatred as a strategy to gain white electoral support.

• Reagan’s confrontation with the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization undermined the bargaining power of American workers & their labor unions. It also polarized our politics in ways that prevent us from addressing the root of our economic troubles: the continuing stagnation of incomes despite rising corporate profits and worker productivity.

Nick Fuentes appears to be the Russian middleman for Kanye West.

When Alex Jones brings up today's news topics like "Ukraine, FTX, etc..." Kanye reverts to Nick to answer.

Nick says he's pro Putin and Kanye quickly agrees " I am also".

The whole fiasco is a Russian Op to sow discord among the American people.

But sadly, like a Russian tank, will not work.

Works with many but, in the long run, not enough. The "patriots" eat it up.
