How we arrived at Socialism in America

More than 35 years ago, a very important book was published entitled Communists in the Democratic Party. Yes, that was 35 years ago. So why is the emergence of communists in today's Democratic Party such a surprise for so much of the media? Some “conservatives” were not paying attention. Liberals were covering up.

That makes their media organizations the “fake news,” as President Trump calls them.

This kind of fakery may decide the future of the United States.

And it continues. Consider the NBC News report on how Abdul El-Sayed has won Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, “notching a Midwest victory for the left.” The article describes him as a “former public health official.”

The same tact was taken by the British Guardian, insisting that Abdul El-Sayed is just “a progressive former public health official.”

This is like a bio of President Trump that refers to him as a local golfer. It reminds me of the coverage of Barack Hussein Obama’s run for the presidency.

Our media are more than fake; they’re professional liars who misrepresent the threat in order to usher in a communist and Muslim takeover of the United States.

Decades of sanitizing the communist and Islamist threat to America produces victories for the likes of Abdul El-Sayed.

There is hope, however. Christopher McMillan, who produces a YouTube program for "Conservatives Against Communism," recently contacted me about an interview, and that is now available on his website. For what it’s worth, I recount my history in journalism, learning the awful truth about corruption in the journalism business.

He has interviewed Trevor Loudon, Jeff Nyquist, Clare Lopez, Ryan Mauro, Nevin Gussack, Venezuelan and Iranian Patriots, and more. He provides the in-depth treatment of politics and current issues we need from the media.

These are the people with an appreciation of the historical significance of the communist and Islamic movements threatening to consume the United States.

When my organization, America’s Survival, Inc., tried to publicize the communist and Muslim roots of the 2008 Democratic Presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama, we were attacked by the Washington Post, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Council on American-Islamic relations.

As we had disclosed, in his 1995 book, Dreams from My Father, Barack Hussein Obama had never discussed the identity of the mysterious “Frank” who had given him important advice on growing up black in what was described as a white racist world. We learned in 2008 that “Frank” was Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Communist Party who was the subject of a 600-page FBI file. We released the file. Still, the major media never asked Obama about this important relationship during his growing up years in Hawaii. Instead, they called Davis a mere “civil rights activist.”

The censorship was so bad that even the Drudge Report rejected our advertising on this matter.

The lack of coverage in 2008 of the embarrassing facts in Barack Obama’s background, especially his deep personal relationship with Frank Marshall Davis, stands as a sensational example of how dishonest the national media can be when they are determined to elect somebody. The “fake news” changed the course of American history, producing the rise of “democratic socialism” we see today.

Over the years, some prominent personalities picked up on the evidence we disclosed and developed. Paul Kengor wrote a book, The Communist: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mentor, based in part on our research. That was in 2012.

Kengor’s book documented that Davis:

  • Considered American racism a “disease” that “Red Russia” had solved.

  • Wrote in a column on July 20, 1946, that the Soviet Union had, “in less than a generation,” abolished “discrimination and racism.”

  • Wrote that “the only people” Winston Churchill cared about were “the white people of the British empire.”

  • Labeled the Marshall Plan for Western Europe after World War II a form of white imperialism, designed to “help maintain European empires at the expense of exploited dark colonial peoples.”

  • Considered anti-communism a form of racism.

In 2015, former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani mentioned that Obama, as a young man, was under the influence of Communist Party member and suspected Soviet espionage agent Frank Marshall Davis. That struck a nerve and made him into even more of a target for communist forces determined to destroy him.

We wrote several books on the problem, including Permanent Revolution and Comrade Obama Unmasked: Marxist Mole in the White House.

We must quickly understand the forces that began to take over the Democratic Party and the civil war we find ourselves in. Obama strategist Steve Phillips actually wrote a book, How We Win the Civil War: Securing a Multiracial Democracy and Ending White Supremacy for Good.

Our organization was defunded and deplatformed under the Biden Administration.

Looking back, I find it interesting that a few copies of Communists in the Democratic Party are still available. We provided major updates over the years, by sponsoring such conferences and videos as "Marxist Terror in America," now available on YouTube. We predicted what is now happening.

I hope it’s not too late for the public to get educated.

The book had a major impact on me, since I worked for Reed Irvine the founder of Accuracy in Media, who played a major role in getting it written and published.

We have lost much precious time in coming to grips with the Islamist/Communist revolution in our midst.

Our enemies have us on the run. The failure to vet Obama has led to the current predicament.

Some say the future is bleak, considering the state of higher education in America and the apparent enthusiasm among the youth for a socialist America.

On the other hand, the Trump Administration is reporting record levels of military recruitment. Secretary of War Hegseth reports historic recruitment records among young Americans and “Every month our department breaks records.”

This is great news for the all-volunteer force.

Now, let us join them in defending America from its enemies, foreign and domestic.
