WWII could have ended earlier in 1943, but the communists in high ranking positions in DC blocked an effort from German high command to prevent Communists from taking over Eastern and Central Europe

from Amazon, 
American Betrayal is America's lost history, a chronicle that pits Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight David Eisenhower, and other American icons who shielded overlapping Communist conspiracies against the investigators, politicians, defectors, and others (including Senator Joseph McCarthy) who tried to tell the American people the truth.

American Betrayal shatters the approved histories of an era that begins with FDR's first inauguration, when "happy days" are supposed to be here again, and ends when we "win" the Cold War. It is here, amid the rubble, where Diana West focuses on the World War II--Cold War deal with the devil in which America surrendered her principles in exchange for a series of Big Lies whose preservation soon became the basis of our leaders' own self-preservation. It was this moral surrender to deception and self-deception, West argues, that sent us down the long road to moral relativism, "political correctness," and other cultural ills that have left us unable to ask the hard questions: Does our silence on the crimes of Communism explain our silence on the totalitarianism of Islam? Is Uncle Sam once again betraying America?

In American Betrayal, Diana West shakes the historical record to bring down a new understanding of our past, our present, and how we have become a nation unable to know truth from lies. 

You can find speeches and interviews given by Diana West all over the internet.  I found this one on YouTube, where she reviews her 2014 book, American Betrayal.  

At the 9-minute mark, she talks about the communist occupation of Washington, D.C. strategy-making chain, and how that chain worked to extend WWII for two more years past 1943.  

We had hundreds of communist agents in very influential positions in Washington, D.C. by 1943.  One of the things that they were able to do was block . . . a very significant anti-Nazi German resistance.  They had one problem: they were very highly placed.  It included the Intelligence Chief, Admiral Wilhelm Franz Canaris, ; it included church members, it included generals, it included all manner of people from different kinds of groups.  They were anti-communist.  Every plan that they submitted to either the British or the Americans over this period, beginning around 1942, 1943, they would present to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi high command, to the Americans and the British, and in return, they wanted help to keep the Red Army in Russia out of Eastern and Central Europe, and this was always the basic plan.  Because we had so many communists in positions of authority, this would be blocked.  For example, there was an AP bureau chief, named Lochner, an American, who came back in 1942 with communications from Prince Louis Ferdinand of Germany.  They wanted to establish secret communications with Roosevelt.  Prince Louis Ferdinand knew President Roosevelt . . . .   

11:17  The man who blocked Lochner at the White House was Lauchlin Currie, 1902-1993, one of Roosevelt's top assistants, dead-to-rights, confirmed Soviet agent.  So you had Lochner dissuaded, not to call anymore, told it was getting embarrassing hearing from this AP bureau chief from Berlin with special messages from German resistance during the war.  Extraordinary.  The War could have ended earlier.   

15:05.  So I went back into this very dirty intelligence or that really the Soviet Union embarked upon beginning the moment it came into existence in 1917.  But in 1917, it did so in American isolation.  Four presidents and six Secretaries of State refused to recognize the Soviet Union.  It was a revolutionary entity that declared war on everyone, and these presidents and secretaries of state saw no reason to normalize relations with such a critter.  Until FDR came along, and on November 16th, 1933, he normalized relations with the Soviet Union.  I actually think of this date now as America's fall. 

Months earlier in the Soviet Union, what we know now as the terror famine, the famine of Ukraine, the state-engineered starvation, forced starvation of some 5 or 6 million, maybe more, people, had come to an end.  And if several months later, the United States normalizes relations . . . this was not even a term; it's not even discussed in the notes that were exchanged.  There was nothing.  It was as if it didn't happen.  Imagine, you have to scramble histories some, but imagine if after Hitler killed 6 million of his own people, 6 million Jews, a nation decided after that to normalize relations.  We would, you know, be tearing our hair out.  But this was a relationship that always based on this kind of self-delusion, lies; even the agreement itself, it's a very brief exchange of notes, it's kind of surprising when you go back to it.  One of the pages, really the only real page of stipulations, is a series of promises that the Soviet Union had to sign that basically said, "We promise we won't support agents in your country to try to overthrow your Constitution."  This was already going on; it only ramped up after normalization.  And the government, the US government, all the institutions at this point, had to pretend, had to pretend that they were keeping their bargain.  This was a big sea change for the United States.  It was absolute . . . you can see the rise of a double standard in US policies, really double standards everywhere but in terms of the nuts and bolts of it we would end up in this New Deal Administration of Roosevelt in 1930s literally hundreds, hundreds of Americans working for the Kremlin that means not one Aldridge James, not five Cambridge spies led by Kim Philby but hundreds, and they were in place by the 1940s when we entered the war.  [17:40]  They were doing things right here in Washington, so at extremely the highest levels possible.  It struck me that there comes a point with infiltration when it's so dense and so strategic that you have to start thinking of it as an occupation.  It kind of helps . . . when you look at it that way, and I think when you look back and you think of Washington as having been de facto Soviet-occupied in this period, things start making a little more sense.  I mentioned Lauchlin Currie at the White House, you had a man named Duncan Lee [a double agent assigned to spy on General Patton] advising the Wild Bill Donovan of the OSS, many others at the OSS, Franz Neumann, 1900-1954, on the German desk, for example.  Alger Hiss very famously at the State Department.  And, of course, there was also FDR's top advisor, Harry Hopkins, 1890-1946, who remains a very controversial figure.  But I do a lot with Harry Hopkins in terms of pulling a dossier together.  I did study it very deeply and for various, with various evidence in mind.  I think he was a conscious agent but he certainly acted as if he were and effectively promoted the Soviet line to such a point that we had essentially a Soviet occupation even inside the White House because he lived there.  He lived with Roosevelt for 3 and 1/2 years--breakfast, lunch, and dinner, in on everything, particularly in this intense war period.  We still have this disconnect between what we now know that we were penetrated; we know these agents were there; we've had this archival confirmation of much of this, and we still think and we look back at the "Red Scare" and we snicker.  Or we look back, "Oh, you saw commies under every bed," that kind of thing.  I mean that's what automatically comes into everyone's head after this period, really decades, of this conditioning to look the other way, not to probe.  "Red Baiter!" stop thinking about it.  I mean it's really kind of an amazing information-op that has been, we've all sort of lived through.  But when you go back and start reading the memoirs of the people who were experiencing at the time, the bitterness of what they were living through comes through . . . and I just like to mention Robert Stripling, the lead investigator on the House on Un-American Activities Committee when it opened its doors in 1938 under Representative Martin Dies, Democrat of Texas.  Stanton Evans, who wrote the monumental work on Joseph McCarthy in recent years, Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Joseph McCarthy and his Fight Against America's Enemies, 2007.  

20:25. In Blacklisted by History, Evans writes that everything they said about Joseph McCarthy they said first about Martin Dies, which is something of a revelation again because I didn't know you had the same interest in exposing these networks, fascism and communism, in the late 1930s.  Stripling worked for Dies and then later chairman for at least 10 years.  He wrote a memoir, and he said the reason he wanted to write this memoir he said,

I wanted to tell in detail the price that men must pay for the dubious privilege of being reviled in print and on the air for their labors in what amounts to a necessary sewer project of communist investigations.  

He goes on to say,

that this book is his attempt to outline without conjecture the scope of the Communist conspiracy against the government and the people of the United States, even though to do so is to invite the charge of fascist, Red Baiter, witch hunter, and "smear artist."  To fail to do so is to capitulate to a resourceful enemy who can endure any counterattack except exposure."

21:37. Exposure.  This is really the mechanism of the book is exposure.  After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, people, of course, know that the archives opened in Moscow briefly, selectively.  At a certain point after Moscow archives begin to open, what we know as a Venona archives, open here 1995.  I always find it quite interesting when you see that progression as to why the American government was cow into releasing some of these same types of documents that late, 50 years after the fact, is an interesting question why they wanted to keep these secrets so long but what the Venona archive is in 1939 when the Nazis and the Soviets had their friendship pact, Western Union was sending the Soviet cables, Embassy cables back to Russia.  And the government ordered them to make copies.  This is sort of early NSA data collection, and they just piled up by the thousands, by the hundreds of thousands.  Really at a certain point in 1943 when we become allies during the war, the code breakers were told to start translating them in order for us to find a way to be better allies. This was actually the original intention.  The code breakers not too long after actually began discovering that these cables, these diplomatic cables were actually day and date discussions and cable traffic related directly to Soviet espionage here in the United States.  Coming to all of this information as a journalist and not as a historian, I told my editor at St Martin's that I've started a new genre called, investigative history, but he wasn't so sure we could go on with this.  It's pretty intense but what I discovered was that the general history, the regular books that you'll find in the bookstore here, not intelligence histories but biographies, books about the war books, about Yalta, and so on, Cold War, they have not as a rule Incorporated the findings of the intelligence historians.  It's as if all this work that has been done since the 1990s and the great scholars have gone into these archives and assembled them for us, they're around the store here somewhere, many of them their work is still off in a corner, almost like an academic boutique industry, it's over here, and the regular historians just keep on going without any correlation of this very important work.  And that's why I could come along after the thousands of books that have been written about World War II in this period, on the Cold War and Roosevelt, and write something that seems new.  This knitting together had not been done and I think that this vacuum is part of what I think of as an American betrayal, because at a certain point what we're looking at when you put this all together consciously or not, or consciously and not, because I think it's both, but Uncle Sam was actually covering up for the Russian bear.

24:42. Today we can ask his uncle Sam covering up for Islam as we support jihadists across the Middle East it's hard not to wonder as we eradicate officially the study of Asia Jihad from security agencies the Pentagon the military colleges and vacuum up everyone else's phone records it's hard not to wonder and I also wonder if ultimately we will find ourselves in some sort of cold war or hot War with Islam just as we did with them the Soviet Union after World War II and wonder how that ever happened.

3 Out Of 5 Illegal Alien Households Are Supported By Taxpayer-Funded Welfare

Not only this but the immigrants have so many of the manual labor jobs.  All the city landscaping jobs belong to immigrants.  Which means above-average wages, which means they live in finer neighborhoods.  In addition, they receive schooling, an expense that benefits older folks and single folks nothing.  Assimilation is no longer a thing.  In fact, the immigrant sees you as weak if you don't speak their language.  All of the manual labor jobs, like logistics, are staffed by Latinos.  Hey, whitey, try and get a job at FedEx or UPS, and see how many of your compatriots work there.  

Here is how they break it down.

Of illegal aliens currently occupying land in the U.S., 59% are on welfare that is funded by legal American citizens; 52% of legal immigrants are also using welfare. Meanwhile, less than 40% of American citizens use welfare.

40% is still way too much.  But if you're going to be the welfare capitol of the world, this is what it looks like and this is what it costs you.

Among the most common forms of welfare for illegals are food stamps, Medicaid, and the Earned Income Tax Credit.

“This is primarily because the American welfare system is designed in large part to help low-income families with children, which describes a large share of immigrants,” the study explains.

“Compared to households headed by the United States-born, immigrant-headed households have especially high use of food programs (36 percent vs. 25 percent for the U.S.-born), Medicaid (37 percent vs. 25 percent for the U.S.-born), and the Earned Income Tax Credit (16 percent vs. 12 percent for the U.S.-born),” CIS continues. 

 Quite surprised actually to see ZeroHedge to use the word "stealing" when it comes to illegal immigrants getting a larger share.  If it's stealing, it means that Americans are entitled to the benefits.  Why don't just lose the benefits altogether?  But if we do that, it also means that the Federal Reserve has to go, for it is the Federal Reserve that robs the value of the money we make, ruins the economy and destitutes the people.

Gotta ask, are the processed foods so damaging to the gut worth that treat?
