Complete interview.
3:26. There was a certain skill set that I took to the problem of the anti-Trump conspiracy but for example, it is also the case and I've done some further research since that some of these players did all seem to run through Moscow before the fall of the Soviet Union or its early days. That would be Nellie Ohr.
Bruce Ohr. Not sure of Bruce Ohr, but Nellie was there.
Nellie was the Russian fusion, Russian expert, kind of Christopher Steele opposite . . . Christopher Steele was there. Fiona Hill was there. She's in the Post Red Thread research. David the McCain Aid [David Foster Wallace?] he was there.
Nina Jankowicz was there.
4:24. Recently I was very shocked by this I found that Victoria Nuland has a thin Red Thread I wrote a piece on Substack yeah darling girl but she literally went to work after college I believe she went to Brown she left Brown and this would have been in the mid 80s she went to work on a Soviet fish processing trawler as her first job. And it's very strange because of that that's not a very safe thing to do; you're going to have a dossier opened up on you. I mean this was the '80s.
Yeah, that should keep you out of top-secret security clearance, right?
One would wonder about that. You know, and I was very shocked. I did not expect to find that but I did.
5:06. Yeah, Tim Waltz who has huge Chinese connections. Holy moly! How did that happen?
But think about how, where we are in terms of the country, its institutions, including the Democratic Party, which is supposed to be an American political party, in terms of thinking that's okay. Not that long ago someone with his credentials would have been just, you know, "I'm sorry, dude, you're not going to make it into the big time." It's amazing to me that there's no longer the survival reflex. It's the survival reflex along with everything else that's been beaten out of us . . .
5:48. Or they have taken over, or they have won.
5:51. Yes I would say that is, that is the other part of the sentence . . .
5:57. So it's not just oblivion. They have won. You know, the campuses are 98% left leaning [I would say Bolshevik] right? They won that. I don't know how you undo that. People say, "How do you fix that? With 98% left wing? There's no obvious mechanism.
6:11. But that even goes down to the lower education system, elementary, middle school . . .
6:15. Daycare. Daycare. We are getting the kids freshman year. People say oh you guys are really screwing up the kids I got no the kids are arriving freshman year damaged they are one nudge away from being a Marxist.
6:30. And they were selected by the admissions offices.
6:34. Oh, I can't imagine what essays are being written to get in to Cornell now. I cannot fathom.
6:39. You could select a different class if your admissions office chose to. I often think of what goes on in the admissions officer choosing these classes they've been taken over for sure and this predates the Frankfurt School I mean we didn't have to wait for Marcus to have this happen and the rest this is something that the Communists communist teachers organizations unions and so on you may have heard of Bella Dodd she was a very famous official, a Communist Party, teacher's union official out of New York who defected, went back to the Catholic Church, became very instrumental witness in probably the 1950s late 40s, 50s, explaining how these things are done. The schools were already riddled with communist teachers. There's a really interesting little moment when the Soviet Union . . . Interesting little moment of alliance between the Soviet Union and Nancy Germany before Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union 1941 so 1939 to summer '40, '41. New York legislature did an investigation into authoritarian impulses what not in the schools and ended up with a report on the Communist infiltration in New York's Public Schools and colleges that is mind-blowing. And this is 1941, so you've already got CCNY and the different colleges and high schools. You've already got massive communist teacher infiltration going on, so it was already quite dense.
8:47. Communist is a strong word. Would Marxists be more accurate?
8:50. I think what they were looking at were Communist party members if I'm not mistaken. I think they literally were looking at something very defined and remember back in the day it wasn't as a big deal to have a card being part of a Communist party it hadn't gone through all the other decades yet. They used to get cards that had numbers, and I think that actually stopped when when the Un-American Activities Committee began identifying Communist party members by their membership cards, and so they stopped issuing them. I think that was a result of that.
