Episode 106 Hour of Decision: Eisenhower (7) Communist Gains and Fake Containment

Lew returns to his series on the presidency of Internationalist Dwight David Eisenhower. Ike allowed Richard Nixon and John Foster Dulles to campaign in 1952 for the liberation of the“captive peoples” victimized by communism, but he hated it and had no intention to fulfill those promises. He proved it by ignoring rebellions in East Germany, Hungary, and even within the Soviet Union.


Ike also aided/ignored communists and their advances in Vietnam, Cuba, Algeria, and Iraq, while seeking negotiations with the USSR at every turn. We now know American governmental and corporate credits and technology empowered our “Cold War” enemy at every turn.

 


00:00:00
Look around you.

00:00:03
Wrong rules the land while waiting justice sleeps.

00:00:06
I saw in the congress

00:00:08
and crossing the country,

00:00:10
campaigning with Ron Paul.

00:00:12
Tyranny

00:00:14
rising,

00:00:15
unspeakable

00:00:16
evil,

00:00:17
manifesting,

00:00:18
devils lying about our heritage who want to

00:00:21
enslave and replace us.

00:00:24
But we are Americans

00:00:26
with a manifest destiny

00:00:28
to bring the new Jerusalem

00:00:30
of endless

00:00:31
possibilities.

00:00:32
But first, this fight

00:00:35
for freedom.

00:00:36
Be a part of it. But don't delay

00:00:40
because this is the hour of decision.

00:00:45
Hour of decision with Lou Moore starts now.

00:00:49
Welcome to the one hundred and sixth episode

00:00:51
of hour of decision.

00:00:53
My name is Lou Moore. And today,

00:00:56
we're gonna get back to our series on

00:00:59
Dwight David Eisenhower. This is gonna be the

00:01:01
seventh episode in that series,

00:01:04
and the title is gonna be

00:01:06
fake

00:01:07
containment of communism.

00:01:10
Fake containment, folks.

00:01:13
So

00:01:14
let's recap just a little bit about Dwight

00:01:17
Eisenhower. He was,

00:01:19
only a colonel.

00:01:22
Roosevelt made him a general and bypassed a

00:01:24
whole lot of generals to make him the

00:01:26
commander of our allied forces in Europe.

00:01:29
He was a dutiful servant of Franklin Roosevelt

00:01:32
and all of his

00:01:34
compliance with the desires of Joseph Stalin,

00:01:37
both in Europe and in Asia.

00:01:41
Eisenhower,

00:01:42
considered to be a Democrat

00:01:44
so much so that Eleanor Roosevelt in 1948

00:01:47
wanted to run him for president rather than

00:01:50
Harry Truman

00:01:51
to keep the presidency in,

00:01:54
Democrat hands.

00:01:56
He was also made the president of Columbia

00:01:59
University,

00:02:01
not exactly a bastion of conservatism,

00:02:03
the home of the Frankfurt School,

00:02:06
among other folks, a place where Eisenhower said

00:02:08
he couldn't find a single communist,

00:02:11
involved with the university

00:02:13
despite the presence of the Frankfurt School

00:02:15
and despite the presence of friends of his,

00:02:19
like Philip Jessup, a later target

00:02:22
of both, senator Pat McCarron of Nevada

00:02:25
as well as my hero,

00:02:27
senator Joseph R. McCarthy.

00:02:30
Eisenhower was also put on the board

00:02:33
during this time of the Carnegie Endowment of

00:02:36
International

00:02:36
Peace.

00:02:38
Kind of unfortunate in some ways because they,

00:02:41
made the president

00:02:43
during this period. They made president of the

00:02:45
Carnegie Endowment,

00:02:47
a man by the name of Alger Hiss,

00:02:49
who turned out to

00:02:50
be a communist.

00:02:54
So a little bit checkered all the way

00:02:55
around with Eisenhower. He ran in '52 as

00:02:58
a Republican

00:03:00
because there no one thought a Democrat could

00:03:02
win.

00:03:04
Harry Truman was polling at 21%

00:03:08
approval

00:03:09
in 1952.

00:03:10
It was it was the race for the

00:03:12
Republicans

00:03:12
to return to power

00:03:14
without any doubt,

00:03:16
but, the establishment was hell bent,

00:03:19
derailing the favorite, mister Republican himself,

00:03:23
Robert Taft,

00:03:24
and America

00:03:26
first Republican, something that would have been a

00:03:28
disaster

00:03:30
for the

00:03:31
corporate masters that we have who are,

00:03:35
internationalists

00:03:36
and one world government advocates

00:03:38
as far as our overseas policy

00:03:41
as well as Fabian socialist at home, wanting

00:03:44
to gradually give us that total government

00:03:47
as espoused by Karl

00:03:50
Marx.

00:03:51
So

00:03:52
Eisenhower gets by Taft in '52,

00:03:55
becomes the president of The United States.

00:03:59
And,

00:04:00
you know, from the beginning, there were tensions

00:04:02
because Eisenhower was internationalist

00:04:05
and internationalist

00:04:06
all the way,

00:04:08
which means he was a big, big believer

00:04:11
in the doctrine they came up with after

00:04:13
World War two

00:04:15
of containment.

00:04:17
You might remember me talking about the doctrine

00:04:19
of containment.

00:04:21
You couldn't be.

00:04:23
Oh, let's have peace with The USSR. You

00:04:26
couldn't be the way Franklin Roosevelt had been

00:04:29
the entire

00:04:30
time he was in office, not just during

00:04:32
World War two, but the entire time. Remember,

00:04:35
Roosevelt is the one who recognized,

00:04:38
first recognized the Soviet Union, something that countries

00:04:42
around the world were very leery to do

00:04:45
because of the gangsterous

00:04:47
nature

00:04:48
of the Bolshevik

00:04:50
government over there, particularly in the hands

00:04:53
of one Joseph Stalin.

00:04:56
So,

00:04:58
at any rate,

00:05:00
Roosevelt

00:05:00
had those kind of policies toward the Soviets.

00:05:03
But after World War two,

00:05:05
the public was so upset

00:05:08
about going to war, losing hundreds of thousands

00:05:12
of troops,

00:05:13
hundreds of thousands dead, and many, many, many

00:05:16
thousands more

00:05:18
injured, psychologically

00:05:19
damaged

00:05:20
by the

00:05:21
war, only to find out that, instead of

00:05:24
destroying

00:05:26
tyranny all over the world and

00:05:29
ensuring that we would have those four freedoms

00:05:32
that Franklin Roosevelt kept talking about

00:05:34
at the end of the war.

00:05:36
We had a world where Eastern Europe was

00:05:38
now

00:05:39
solidly in the hands of the communist,

00:05:42
absolute totalitarian

00:05:44
tyrants.

00:05:45
China

00:05:46
was by 1949

00:05:47
in the hands of the communist.

00:05:50
Communist insurgencies were having success in Vietnam.

00:05:53
Korea was now communist.

00:05:56
Insurgencies

00:05:57
in Tibet,

00:05:58
insurgencies in The Philippines,

00:06:01
and Western Europe was also,

00:06:03
we were told, threatened by communist, which is

00:06:06
why we had to spend billions

00:06:08
on the Marshall Plan

00:06:10
to prop up a bunch of Fabian socialist

00:06:13
governments in Western Europe after World War two,

00:06:17
supposedly

00:06:18
to prevent

00:06:19
communist

00:06:20
from taking over these governments in places like

00:06:23
France

00:06:24
and Italy.

00:06:26
So the public was angry.

00:06:28
And in 1946,

00:06:29
they elected a whole raft

00:06:32
of anti communist, both Republicans and Democrats,

00:06:36
to the senate and to the house.

00:06:38
Richard Nixon elected in '46 and Joseph McCarthy

00:06:42
elected in 1946.

00:06:44
And from that time forward,

00:06:46
with with all of the revelations

00:06:48
of the internal subversion in the Roosevelt administration

00:06:52
and the Truman administration,

00:06:54
all the infiltration of communist in our government,

00:06:58
all the victories of communism overseas,

00:07:01
the fact that they got the bomb, that

00:07:03
the Russians got the bomb, the atomic bomb,

00:07:06
and later the hydrogen bomb assuredly

00:07:10
because of

00:07:12
traders within our government.

00:07:14
I mean, for example, the Rosenbergs

00:07:16
who were executed

00:07:18
for being traders to our government that were

00:07:20
working on the atomic

00:07:22
project, the fact that China was taken,

00:07:25
all these things just

00:07:26
the the anti communism and the public was

00:07:29
just building and building and building.

00:07:32
So our internationalist corporate masters had to come

00:07:36
up with a doctrine

00:07:38
that would allow them to continue a one

00:07:40
world project

00:07:42
even though now over half the world

00:07:45
was in the hands of these bloodthirsty communists

00:07:47
that the American public could not stand.

00:07:50
And so the doctrine they came up with

00:07:52
was containment,

00:07:54
which was,

00:07:55
well, they have the bomb now over there

00:07:57
in Russia. We can't just

00:07:59
go off half cocked and try to,

00:08:02
recapture any ground from the communist.

00:08:04
But what we will do is we will

00:08:06
negotiate with them. We will continue to build

00:08:09
world institutions

00:08:11
around peace

00:08:12
among other things,

00:08:14
but we will just contain

00:08:16
the communist. We just won't let them take

00:08:18
any more territory

00:08:21
now that they've taken almost half the globe.

00:08:24
And so that was the doctrine of containment

00:08:26
and very much the doctrine

00:08:28
that Dwight David Eisenhower,

00:08:31
ascribed to. And it caused a lot of

00:08:34
tension,

00:08:35
even within his own administration and particularly with

00:08:38
his vice president. I think I told you

00:08:40
from the beginning that the relationship between,

00:08:44
Eisenhower and Richard Nixon

00:08:46
was a fraught one at best,

00:08:49
and Ike was,

00:08:50
this close to throwing him off the ticket

00:08:53
When Nixon made the checkers speech,

00:08:56
particularly after Robert Taft,

00:08:59
Eisenhower's

00:09:00
defeated America first foe,

00:09:02
the man he defeated in the Republican primaries

00:09:05
in 1952,

00:09:06
came around to supporting Eisenhower, and many people

00:09:09
on Ike's team

00:09:11
were saying openly, we need to get rid

00:09:13
of Nixon

00:09:14
and put tapped on the ticket because they

00:09:16
were very conservative

00:09:19
very concerned, excuse me,

00:09:22
about conservative

00:09:23
Republicans

00:09:25
not going along

00:09:26
with a man who pretty obviously

00:09:29
was not a Republican

00:09:31
until he began to run for president in

00:09:33
1952.

00:09:34
That's Eisenhower.

00:09:36
So anyhow, fraught relationship with Nixon and the

00:09:39
tension continued on the campaign trail

00:09:42
because Nixon was also,

00:09:44
at least to some degree, an internationalist,

00:09:47
but Nixon understood

00:09:49
the rank and file Republicans in a way

00:09:51
that Eisenhower did not. And when you go

00:09:54
to these rubber chicken dinners and these the

00:09:57
Lincoln dinners as they call them, still have

00:09:59
them all over the country at the county

00:10:01
level

00:10:02
in the GOP.

00:10:04
People wanted to hear about liberation,

00:10:07
liberating Eastern Europe,

00:10:09
from the communist and particularly this new voting

00:10:11
block now of ethnics,

00:10:14
Hungarians,

00:10:16
people from the the Slavic countries that had

00:10:18
come to America.

00:10:20
They were very open

00:10:21
to the Republican message because they hated communism

00:10:25
so bad, but they didn't wanna hear that

00:10:28
we were just going to contain it, and

00:10:30
we were gonna leave Hungary. We were gonna

00:10:32
leave,

00:10:33
Czechoslovakia.

00:10:34
We were gonna leave Yugoslavia and Romania and

00:10:37
Bulgaria

00:10:37
and Poland and the Baltic States all in

00:10:40
the hands of the bloodthirsty

00:10:42
Joseph Stalin. They didn't wanna hear that. They

00:10:45
wanted to hear that America

00:10:47
would lead the way in some way, maybe

00:10:50
not by putting troops or boots on the

00:10:52
ground as we say it now, but that

00:10:54
in some way,

00:10:56
Americans

00:10:58
would,

00:10:59
facilitate

00:11:01
the defeat of communism

00:11:03
around the globe and particularly in these countries

00:11:05
where there there is now new voting blocks

00:11:08
that the GOP was after in this country.

00:11:11
The

00:11:12
immigrants coming to this country from places like,

00:11:15
well, particularly

00:11:16
Hungary

00:11:17
and, Poland and Yugoslavia.

00:11:20
And so,

00:11:21
Nixon was trying to appeal these people, and

00:11:24
Eisenhower

00:11:24
I I mean, a lot of tension. Stephen

00:11:26
Ambrose, many

00:11:28
historians that followed Eisenhower carefully,

00:11:31
document this tension that went on because I

00:11:33
didn't want anything to do with that kind

00:11:35
of talk. He was a containment

00:11:38
man all the way, not liberation.

00:11:41
Not liberation in any way,

00:11:43
but only containment. So

00:11:46
this is kind of the backdrop of what

00:11:48
we're gonna talk about today, which is the

00:11:50
Eisenhower foreign policy,

00:11:53
the successes and lack of success of it.

00:11:56
And when we talk about Eisenhower's foreign policy,

00:11:59
we have to start with a very strange

00:12:01
man

00:12:02
named John Foster Dulles,

00:12:05
who was his secretary of state. And before

00:12:08
that,

00:12:09
was Thomas Dewey's

00:12:11
foreign policy guru, goo Dewey, the 1948

00:12:15
Republican nominee, internationalist,

00:12:17
and a big force behind

00:12:20
Eisenhower's

00:12:21
political rise and his success,

00:12:24
defeating Robert Taft for the Republican primary

00:12:27
in 1952. So is John Foster Dulles. And,

00:12:30
of course, he's joined at the hip with

00:12:31
his brother, Allen Dulles. It's a name you

00:12:34
may more likely have heard of because Allen

00:12:36
Dulles

00:12:37
continued in the CIA until the fraught

00:12:40
Bay of Pigs

00:12:42
and then was brought back to,

00:12:44
be involved with the Warren Commission

00:12:47
and the whole Kennedy assassination. So a lot

00:12:50
of Kennedy

00:12:51
assassination conspiracies

00:12:53
know the name and will bring up the

00:12:55
name of Allen Dulles.

00:12:57
So I'm gonna take the liberty now to

00:12:59
read to you a little bit

00:13:02
out of a manuscript

00:13:04
that someday I might turn into a book

00:13:07
talking about some of these things.

00:13:10
John Foster Dulles,

00:13:13
a strange figure that worked very hard

00:13:16
at allying the allying the fears of anti

00:13:19
communist to allaying, excuse me, the fears of

00:13:23
anti communist toward Eisenhower

00:13:25
was his secretary of state, John Foster Dulles.

00:13:30
He worked hand in glove with his brother

00:13:33
who Ike made the head of the CIA,

00:13:36
Allen Dulles.

00:13:37
John Foster Dulles was a powerful Wall Street

00:13:40
figure

00:13:41
and was a leader

00:13:43
in JPMorgan's

00:13:45
favorite law firm, Sullivan and Cromwell,

00:13:49
who were the inventors of the holding company.

00:13:53
Allen Dulles worked there as well.

00:13:56
Historian Carol Quigley described John Foster Dulles as

00:14:00
a, quote,

00:14:01
Morgan satellite.

00:14:04
Hardly a conservative,

00:14:06
he had spent a lot of time hanging

00:14:08
out with the left wing

00:14:10
pseudo religious

00:14:12
Federal Council of Churches,

00:14:14
which many aspects of the Federal Council of

00:14:17
Churches were later deemed to be communist front

00:14:20
organizations,

00:14:21
folks.

00:14:22
Side note.

00:14:23
Both brothers had foreign policy experience that went

00:14:26
back to the Woodrow

00:14:28
Wilson

00:14:29
White House

00:14:30
and the founding

00:14:32
of the Council on Foreign Relations,

00:14:35
which, was formed in the wake of the

00:14:38
failure

00:14:39
of The United States to join the League

00:14:41
of Nations.

00:14:43
The CFR

00:14:44
has been the elite's principal platform

00:14:48
to promote globalism in America that may have

00:14:50
been supplanted by the World Economic Forum, but

00:14:53
the CFR

00:14:54
is still a big effing deal,

00:14:57
in, the elite world of America

00:15:01
and is tied to the elite world in

00:15:03
Britain

00:15:04
as well.

00:15:06
The CFR,

00:15:07
excuse me, Truman brought John Foster Dulles into

00:15:11
the state department. This is Harry s Truman.

00:15:14
As an an an adviser

00:15:18
to the communist helping secretary of state Edward

00:15:22
Stettinhouse.

00:15:24
In this capacity,

00:15:25
Dulles stayed in friendly proximity

00:15:28
of all those UN functionaries who were working

00:15:31
day and night

00:15:33
to diminish

00:15:34
US sovereignty,

00:15:36
including the communist spy, Alger Hiss.

00:15:40
In 1946,

00:15:42
John Foster Dulles is made the chairman of

00:15:45
the board

00:15:46
of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace,

00:15:50
not exactly a right wing group,

00:15:52
and supported the election,

00:15:56
that same day of its new president.

00:15:59
And, yes, that's right, folks.

00:16:01
They picked

00:16:02
Alger Hiss,

00:16:04
the notorious

00:16:05
Alger Hiss, who would soon be brought down

00:16:07
by Richard Nixon,

00:16:09
and the House Committee on Un American Activities,

00:16:11
and Hiss would actually serve nine years in

00:16:13
prison

00:16:15
for lying

00:16:16
about his extensive role

00:16:19
as a spy,

00:16:20
not just an agent of influence, but as

00:16:22
a spy for the GRU, which is the

00:16:25
military

00:16:27
intelligence arm of communist Russia.

00:16:31
There is a written record

00:16:34
of warnings to this board, the Carnegie board,

00:16:36
about his,

00:16:38
which Dulles

00:16:39
ignored.

00:16:41
This included a letter from National Unitarian official

00:16:44
Larry s Davinau,

00:16:46
who wrote Dulles stating that Hiss has, quote,

00:16:49
a provable

00:16:50
communist record, unquote,

00:16:53
offering to share his DC sourced documentation.

00:16:57
Dulles declined him though writing,

00:17:00
there is absolutely no reason to doubt mister

00:17:03
Hiss' complete loyalty

00:17:05
to our American institutions.

00:17:08
I have been thrown in intimate contact with

00:17:10
him in San Francisco,

00:17:13
London,

00:17:14
and Washington,

00:17:15
and I doubt that the people in Washington

00:17:17
you've referred to

00:17:19
know

00:17:20
him any better than I

00:17:22
do. That very well may be true.

00:17:25
But what he what Dulles knew about his

00:17:29
not sure about that.

00:17:31
Dulles kept adding

00:17:33
to an impeccable

00:17:34
establishment

00:17:35
resume over decades

00:17:38
until

00:17:38
in the heat of the competition for a

00:17:41
US senate seat in New York in 1949,

00:17:45
where he chose to run as a Republican.

00:17:48
And in that race, he accused his opponent

00:17:50
of communist

00:17:52
sympathies.

00:17:54
See, again, folks,

00:17:56
politics was to the point after World War

00:17:58
two and particularly,

00:18:00
by 1949.

00:18:01
You absolutely

00:18:03
had to swear you were a

00:18:05
rabid anti communist or you couldn't get anywhere

00:18:08
electorally

00:18:09
in America

00:18:10
from either in either political party.

00:18:13
And this is, so

00:18:16
suddenly Dulles now. He's a big anti communist.

00:18:19
He went all out in an article published

00:18:22
nationally during the election of nineteen fifty two

00:18:26
claiming

00:18:27
that the no win

00:18:31
Truman era policy of containment of communism

00:18:34
had to be replaced.

00:18:37
Dulles wants to replace containment,

00:18:39
he says,

00:18:40
by one of liberation

00:18:42
of nations held captive

00:18:44
behind the iron curtain.

00:18:46
Dulles even told Republican crowds that the international

00:18:50
treaties connected to his own

00:18:52
life's work

00:18:54
might threaten US sovereignty.

00:18:56
In other words,

00:18:59
back to I I brought up a talked

00:19:01
about this in the ends in the last

00:19:03
episode,

00:19:04
Eisenhower episode, I should say, and in previous

00:19:06
ones as well about this big fight over

00:19:09
the Bricker amendment

00:19:11
to end all these side agreements and all

00:19:13
these treaties

00:19:14
that were impinging on our sovereignty,

00:19:17
many of which

00:19:18
Dulles directly worked on.

00:19:20
And he and he did work day and

00:19:22
night to defeat the Bricker Amendment

00:19:25
once he became Eisenhower's secretary of state, but

00:19:28
he did it very quietly. And Eisenhower would

00:19:31
march him out to various meetings of supporters

00:19:35
of the Bricker amendment before Ike was elected,

00:19:39
implying that he would

00:19:42
oppose any effort to impinge our sovereignty and

00:19:45
support

00:19:46
efforts like the Bricker Amendment. Totally, folks, this

00:19:49
is just total

00:19:50
dishonesty.

00:19:52
Total. Despite their unlikely source,

00:19:55
these comments against containment

00:19:58
and against treaties that would be,

00:20:01
impinging on our sovereignty,

00:20:04
his words did help to cement

00:20:08
conservative support behind Ike because they were very

00:20:10
conservative. Republicans were very,

00:20:13
very skeptical of Eisenhower.

00:20:16
After the election, the words continued.

00:20:20
Dulles blithely talked of massive nuclear

00:20:23
retaliation

00:20:25
against the Soviet Union and the need to

00:20:27
take Moscow to the brink of war,

00:20:31
also called brinksmanship,

00:20:33
to get them to back down from aggressive

00:20:35
actions

00:20:36
or threats.

00:20:38
Any substance behind this talk

00:20:41
was another story.

00:20:44
It was missing

00:20:46
entirely.

00:20:48
On Dulles' watch for Ike, the stalemate in

00:20:51
Korea

00:20:52
was ratified,

00:20:54
with the communist being contained

00:20:56
right about where they started

00:20:58
when the war began at the 38 Parallel.

00:21:02
In 1954,

00:21:04
Vietnam was partitioned

00:21:06
in a similar way,

00:21:08
giving the communist a foothold in one half

00:21:12
of that nation,

00:21:14
which had been part of French

00:21:16
Indochina.

00:21:19
Dulles refused

00:21:20
at the same time to give the French

00:21:23
logistical

00:21:24
support

00:21:25
to stave off defeat

00:21:27
at their last battle with the communist at

00:21:29
Dien Bien Phu.

00:21:31
Many people believe folks because

00:21:33
the the French were actually very effective against

00:21:36
the communist

00:21:37
Vietnamese,

00:21:38
and that if they could have gotten out

00:21:40
of this trap that they they communist put

00:21:43
them in at Dien Bien Phu, that they

00:21:45
could have won the war

00:21:47
against these communist with just a little help

00:21:50
at a key time from The United States,

00:21:52
but Dulles

00:21:54
and Eisenhower

00:21:56
said no.

00:21:57
Big consequences

00:21:58
from that decision, folks.

00:22:02
The former Dutch West Indies now called Indonesia,

00:22:05
this is after World War two,

00:22:08
was ruled by a,

00:22:09
leftist dictator named Sukarno,

00:22:12
who ruled in a coalition

00:22:15
with the communist.

00:22:17
Sukarno was coddled to the point that an

00:22:19
anti communist rebellion

00:22:22
that occurred there was put down

00:22:25
with US help

00:22:27
behind the scenes. And in Algeria,

00:22:31
Ben Bella achieved victory for his Marxist

00:22:35
National Liberation Front,

00:22:37
also the name adopted by

00:22:39
the South Vietnamese communist or the Vietcong. They're

00:22:43
they they also adopted that same name, the

00:22:45
National Liberation

00:22:47
Front. And then, Ben Bella's victory was achieved

00:22:50
with encouragement,

00:22:52
not resistance

00:22:53
from America. This is on Ike's watch, folks.

00:22:56
Indonesia,

00:22:58
Algeria, we're going down the list here.

00:23:01
In 1958,

00:23:02
a pro Western government fell in Iraq

00:23:06
to army officers with close ties to the

00:23:08
Soviet Union,

00:23:10
which allegedly

00:23:12
cost

00:23:13
the c I or caught the CIA

00:23:16
by surprise.

00:23:19
So,

00:23:20
and that's something we'll talk about quite a

00:23:22
bit more is

00:23:24
the CIA

00:23:26
either not being up to speed or being

00:23:28
on the wrong side

00:23:29
of almost every one of these communist confrontations

00:23:33
in the fifties, you hear just the opposite

00:23:36
narrative.

00:23:36
You hear Eisenhower was so tough on the

00:23:39
communist.

00:23:40
He was so smart.

00:23:42
He was able to lower the defense budget

00:23:44
because he was utilizing the CIA

00:23:48
so effective

00:23:49
in keeping the communist at bay and keeping

00:23:52
them

00:23:52
contained.

00:23:53
But, folks,

00:23:55
I think you're already seeing, and we're gonna

00:23:56
talk

00:23:57
after the break quite a bit more here.

00:24:00
I think you can see that this is

00:24:02
a lie.

00:24:03
This is just a lie. That's not what's

00:24:05
going on

00:24:07
in the Eisenhower administration. That's not what's going

00:24:09
on under the watch

00:24:11
of former ultra lefty,

00:24:14
John Foster Dulles.

00:24:17
Folks, I wanna remind you that securevote.news

00:24:20

00:24:22
we're getting a larger and larger viewership

00:24:25

00:24:27
And we invite you to join us at

00:24:37

00:24:38
You're listening to Hour of Decision on Liberty

00:24:41
News Radio. My name is Lou Moore, and

00:24:43
I will be right back to you

00:24:45
after the news.

00:24:47
Welcome back to Hour of Decision. My name

00:24:50
is Lou Moore. We've been talking about Eisenhower.

00:24:53
We're returning to our Eisenhower series and talking

00:24:56
about

00:24:57
the fake

00:24:59
policy of containment

00:25:01
that didn't work very well

00:25:03
in containing communism and didn't get at the

00:25:06
core of things, folks. And here is the

00:25:07
core of things.

00:25:09
This is a fact.

00:25:11
The Soviet Union was a paper tiger the

00:25:14
whole time.

00:25:16
If the credits from the Rockefellers,

00:25:18
from IBM, from all of these internationalist corporations

00:25:22
would not have been flowing into the Soviet

00:25:24
Union and technology would not have been flowing

00:25:27
into the Soviet Union,

00:25:29
they would have collapsed.

00:25:31
They weren't that strong.

00:25:32
They were relatively weak,

00:25:35
only

00:25:36
propped up by us, propped up incredibly

00:25:39
by Franklin Delano Roosevelt

00:25:42
during World War two with the lend lease

00:25:44
program that they didn't cut off anytime too

00:25:46
soon,

00:25:47
incredibly

00:25:48
aided in Asia

00:25:50
with,

00:25:51
elements of the Yalta agreement where they got

00:25:54
tons of material and funding,

00:25:57
just for Asia

00:25:58
when they weren't even fighting it. Russia never

00:26:01
really fought in Asia. They were supposed to

00:26:03
come into the war to help us against

00:26:05
Japan,

00:26:06
and they didn't come into the war until

00:26:08
it was essentially over.

00:26:11
But,

00:26:12
anyway, you know, that's

00:26:14
what's behind the scenes here. And and the

00:26:16
work of Anthony Sutton, his treatise on Soviet

00:26:19
technology,

00:26:20
his book, the best enemy money can buy,

00:26:23
explains all of that

00:26:25
to you, and and we saw it. It

00:26:26
was proven.

00:26:28
This theory is supposed to be a wild

00:26:29
conspiracy theory, but then it was absolutely proven

00:26:32
by Ronald Reagan

00:26:34
because in the nineteen eighties, this is exactly

00:26:37
what Reagan did. He cut off their credits

00:26:39
and collapsed the whole thing.

00:26:41
Phony.

00:26:42
Phony situation. We're gonna talk more about that.

00:26:45
I've I've discussed it some already

00:26:47
in other episodes

00:26:49
talking about the Fabian conspiracy in this country,

00:26:52
But I, will

00:26:55
discuss it at some length when we get

00:26:57
to Ronald Reagan because that is his finest

00:27:00
hour, folks, in my opinion,

00:27:02
in terms of,

00:27:05
his record in the White House. But we

00:27:07
are back with Dwight David Eisenhower

00:27:10
who is

00:27:11
working the problem from the internationalist,

00:27:14
Fabian socialist

00:27:16
point of view. And we're talking about the

00:27:17
internationalist

00:27:18
part today because we're talking about

00:27:21
his

00:27:22
fake policy of containment.

00:27:25
So problems in Indonesia,

00:27:29
you know, stalemated,

00:27:31
battle in Korea. He completely rejected MacArthur and

00:27:34
others

00:27:35
who said that the Chinese were weak.

00:27:38
If we would just oppose them with the

00:27:40
technology that we had and allow Chiang Kai

00:27:42
shek

00:27:44
to go back across,

00:27:46
the straits there in Formosa

00:27:48
and attack the mainland.

00:27:51
He didn't listen to them. So stalemate in

00:27:53
Korea, disgrace,

00:27:55
and nothing really fixed. Thousands and thousands of

00:27:58
American troops have had to stay right there

00:28:00
at the 38 Parallel from,

00:28:03
nineteen fifty three until

00:28:05
this exact hour,

00:28:07
this exact moment. They're still there, folks.

00:28:10
Then Vietnam

00:28:11
gave gave half of Vietnam to the communist

00:28:15
and didn't help in any way,

00:28:19
initially. We're gonna talk more about that in

00:28:22
a minute.

00:28:25
He hurt the situation there

00:28:28
and set up as a terrible situation

00:28:30
that, Kennedy,

00:28:32
and, and then Lyndon Johnson

00:28:35
really,

00:28:37
really had to do a dance,

00:28:40
and a suffered disaster.

00:28:43
Disaster. The whole country suffered disaster

00:28:45
in so many ways with the Vietnam War.

00:28:50
But in damage,

00:28:52
damage control mode,

00:28:55
I did send troops to Lebanon to protect

00:28:58
the Christian government there from the same wave

00:29:01
of pro Soviet Pan Arabism

00:29:04
that had engulfed Iraq.

00:29:06
It was a move that not only protected

00:29:09
the only Christian led government in the Mid

00:29:11
East,

00:29:12
protected it at that time,

00:29:14
but it catered to the growing strength of

00:29:16
the Israel lobby

00:29:18
and calmed our remaining Arab allies supplying us

00:29:22
with oil,

00:29:24
but worrying

00:29:25
that they might be next.

00:29:28
In two other instances, I did intervene. These

00:29:30
are the ones you always hear about

00:29:33
to check Soviet influence. In Iran,

00:29:36
at the behest of the British and powerful

00:29:39
oil interests,

00:29:40
The US overturned

00:29:42
election results

00:29:43
to put the Shah in power

00:29:46
in 1953

00:29:47
and then in Guatemala.

00:29:50
The United Fruit Company,

00:29:52
represented by Dulles' old law firm of Sullivan

00:29:55
and Cromwell

00:29:57
became alarmed at the regime of a Soviet

00:30:00
friendly

00:30:01
land confiscating

00:30:03
and duly elected,

00:30:05
president

00:30:06
Jacobo

00:30:08
Arbenz,

00:30:09
convincing Ike

00:30:11
to dispatch the CIA to organize a movement

00:30:14
to depose mister Arbenz.

00:30:17
And with the America, with the Republican led,

00:30:20
I should say conservative

00:30:21
led, China lobby breathing down his neck,

00:30:25
Ike finally released

00:30:27
Truman's ridiculous

00:30:29
blockade

00:30:30
of Taiwan.

00:30:31
Truman had Taiwan

00:30:33
blockaded

00:30:34
to prevent Chiang Kai shek from in invading

00:30:37
China.

00:30:38
It wasn't to it wasn't to protect

00:30:41
nationalist China.

00:30:43
It, it was to protect

00:30:46
Mao

00:30:47
from nationalist China from about a million troops

00:30:51
that were still housed and were still ready

00:30:53
combat hardened troops

00:30:55
that were on the island of Taiwan,

00:30:59
Island Of Formosa that they later called Taiwan,

00:31:04
you know, with the combination of the communist

00:31:06
revolution in China.

00:31:10
Ike also sent covert operatives to Tibet

00:31:14
to aid in a resistance there in 1959.

00:31:19
Unfortunately,

00:31:20
that was screwed up by

00:31:21
JFK and John Kenneth Galbraith,

00:31:24
and Tibet fell

00:31:26
and became a communist.

00:31:29
Just one more communist colony in the world.

00:31:34
Joseph Stalin died in March

00:31:37
1953,

00:31:38
right after I took office.

00:31:40
In East Germany,

00:31:43
Walter Ulbrich was the most unbending

00:31:46
of Stalinist leaders among the puppet states that

00:31:49
were established in Europe

00:31:51
after World War two.

00:31:53
While rumors flew about a liberalization

00:31:57
directed from Moscow, the onerous production quotas

00:32:01
that had been put on workers

00:32:04
remained in place.

00:32:06
A workers' revolt that began on 06/17/1954

00:32:11
at the project for a Stalin promenade

00:32:16
quickly spread across Berlin

00:32:18
and the entire nation.

00:32:21
As throngs were in the streets

00:32:24
shouting for their freedom

00:32:26
and destroying

00:32:27
every symbol of communism

00:32:30
they could get their hands on.

00:32:33
After the communist East German flag was pulled

00:32:37
from the Brandenburg

00:32:38
Gate,

00:32:39
a real revolution

00:32:41
seemed to be taking place

00:32:43
with over 1

00:32:45
Germans involved in hundreds of locations

00:32:49
across the country.

00:32:51
However,

00:32:52
the unarmed populace of East Germany was no

00:32:55
match

00:32:56
for local security forces that were soon backed

00:32:59
up

00:33:00
by Soviet tanks.

00:33:03
And while The US did nothing,

00:33:06
the rebellion was snuffed out, and 10

00:33:09
Germans who participated

00:33:10
in it

00:33:11
went to prison.

00:33:13
And so there's three

00:33:17
three elements of this story that I hold

00:33:20
Dwight David Eisenhower

00:33:22
responsible

00:33:23
for and

00:33:25
accuse him and convict him of.

00:33:28
One,

00:33:30
he allowed Richard Nixon

00:33:32
to travel around the country

00:33:35
promoting the liberation of the captive peoples. Two,

00:33:38
he sent John Foster Dulles into all these

00:33:41
foreign policy places

00:33:43
and all these business meetings,

00:33:45
both before and after the election,

00:33:48
preaching the same thing, liberation of these peoples.

00:33:52
And three,

00:33:53
I haven't mentioned this one, Eisenhower

00:33:56
allowed

00:33:57
radio free Europe,

00:33:59
a bastion of internationalism

00:34:01
then, and it still is now, far as

00:34:03
I know. Carrie Lake is in charge of

00:34:05
it now. She's trying to get a grip

00:34:07
on it.

00:34:09
He allowed

00:34:10
Radio Free Europe to broadcast

00:34:13
messages

00:34:13
day and night

00:34:16
into these countries which, were called,

00:34:19
after the great speech that, Winston Churchill gave

00:34:21
in Missouri, the iron curtain.

00:34:24
These,

00:34:26
nations behind the curtain

00:34:28
preaching to rebel and that we would be

00:34:31
there to support them.

00:34:34
Inexcusable

00:34:35
folks because what really happened

00:34:38
in East Germany, we're gonna talk about Hungary

00:34:40
in a moment. A lot of people don't

00:34:43
even know this story about East Germany. Most

00:34:46
people do know something about the Hungarian revolution,

00:34:49
rebellion and revolution that will happen three years

00:34:53
later. This brought out the anti communist resistance

00:34:56
and allowed it to surface

00:34:58
so it could be wiped out by the

00:35:00
communist.

00:35:02
Inexcusable.

00:35:03
Eisenhower

00:35:04
fingerprints all over it, folks.

00:35:08
About the same time

00:35:09
in May '19,

00:35:11
'94,

00:35:13
a most improbable event occurred

00:35:17
within the Soviet Union.

00:35:19
There was a brief for a brief period,

00:35:22
a successful uprising

00:35:25
in a Soviet

00:35:26
force labor camp

00:35:29
as recounted in Alexander Solzhenitsyn

00:35:31
Gulag

00:35:32
Archipelago,

00:35:34
Stalin's

00:35:35
death,

00:35:36
in 1953,

00:35:38
and the execution of the dictator's secret police

00:35:40
chief,

00:35:41
Beria,

00:35:43
gave hope to those captive to communism,

00:35:46
whether in slave labor camps or the occupied

00:35:50
nations of Eastern Europe

00:35:52
and those within the Soviet Union itself, like

00:35:55
in the colony of

00:35:58
Ukraine.

00:36:00
A place where, by the way,

00:36:02
six to seven million people were starved to

00:36:05
death

00:36:06
by the Bolsheviks

00:36:07
in the nineteen twenties and early nineteen thirties.

00:36:12
A confluence of events allowed it to happen

00:36:15
at the Kin gear

00:36:16
camp rebellion that is

00:36:19
in what today is the nation

00:36:22
of Kazakhstan.

00:36:25
Those included

00:36:26
Stalin's

00:36:27
those included Stalin's death and the subsequent

00:36:30
uprisings

00:36:32
in a number of camps.

00:36:35
And the introduction

00:36:36
of convicted

00:36:37
thieves into a camp dominated by Ukrainian political

00:36:41
prisoners,

00:36:42
including survivors

00:36:43
of the holocaust that befell Ukraine in the

00:36:46
nineteen thirties

00:36:47
at communist hands. In other words,

00:36:50
they were sending criminals in to try to

00:36:53
control

00:36:54
both from within the camp and without

00:36:57
those who were

00:36:59
trying to get free.

00:37:04
There was an ill fated strategy to allow

00:37:07
the prisoners a taste of freedom,

00:37:09
a day outside the camp on guard to

00:37:11
repair the wall,

00:37:13
which triggered a temporarily

00:37:14
successful rebellion.

00:37:17
Thieves were frequently introduced to these camps to

00:37:20
factionalize

00:37:20
the inmates and keep the less street tough

00:37:24
politicals,

00:37:26
in other words, the anti communist,

00:37:29
in line.

00:37:32
In this case, the thieves helped the rest

00:37:34
of the inmates arm themselves with shifts, so

00:37:37
it didn't work out for

00:37:39
the communist in that case. The the day

00:37:41
outside the camp gave the inmates a taste

00:37:43
of freedom they did not want to relinquish.

00:37:47
For several weeks,

00:37:49
the inmates

00:37:50
created their own government and currency.

00:37:53
This is within the Soviet Union, folks.

00:37:57
They performed marriages and enjoyed their own self

00:38:01
sustaining

00:38:02
society.

00:38:04
Finally, the tanks and regular army arrived to

00:38:07
deal death,

00:38:09
restore

00:38:10
order,

00:38:13
and

00:38:14
continue

00:38:14
the Soviet slave labor regime at Cangare.

00:38:20
And at that time, despite all this propaganda

00:38:23
and all this happy talk, there were crickets

00:38:27
from the supposedly

00:38:28
militant state department of John Foster Dulles

00:38:32
and the Eisenhower

00:38:34
administration.

00:38:35
Folks, what you're seeing is is history you

00:38:38
don't hear about.

00:38:40
People wanted to be free behind the iron

00:38:43
curtain. They wanted to be free within the

00:38:46
Soviet Union. There were so many opportunities

00:38:50
to stoke

00:38:52
internal dissension with our enemy,

00:38:55
and Eisenhower

00:38:57
did nothing.

00:38:59
Nothing.

00:39:00
Nikita Khrushchev

00:39:02
made his secret speech,

00:39:04
as it was known, denouncing Stalin

00:39:06
and the Stalin era of the Communist Party

00:39:09
in early nineteen fifty six.

00:39:12
Once the text of the speech leaked out

00:39:14
party hierarchies and governance,

00:39:17
any number of iron curtain countries was further

00:39:20
destabilized. In other words,

00:39:22
Khrushchev got up and said, yes. Stalin, terrible

00:39:24
guy. He's killing all kinds of people. He

00:39:26
lied all the time,

00:39:28
and he admitted a lot of the sins.

00:39:31
Of course, Khrushchev participated in a lot of

00:39:33
them. He was a butcher himself

00:39:35
as a commissar,

00:39:38
but he admitted a lot of the sins

00:39:41
of the communist government that had not ever

00:39:43
been admitted to before.

00:39:49
In Poland, labor unrest led to a protest

00:39:51
of over 100

00:39:53
people in Warsaw,

00:39:55
the sacking of the communist party headquarters,

00:39:58
and a siege of a number of government

00:40:00
buildings.

00:40:02
It was broken up the next day by

00:40:04
10

00:40:06
communist troops with 400

00:40:08
tanks.

00:40:09
As with other significant events of Ike's tenure,

00:40:13
the CIA was, quote,

00:40:15
caught by surprise. We just had no idea

00:40:18
about this.

00:40:21
Then in October

00:40:22
1956,

00:40:24
there was the tragedy

00:40:26
of the Hungarian

00:40:28
Revolution, the biggest tragedy of all

00:40:32
on Eisenhower's watch. Keep in mind, this is

00:40:34
the man, folks, that sent the eighty second

00:40:36
airport into Arkansas

00:40:40
to subdue

00:40:41
a sovereign state.

00:40:43
And the people of a sovereign state

00:40:46
in our country.

00:40:49
But that's not what he's doing overseas. He's

00:40:51
doing just the opposite.

00:40:54
Hungary seemed to be a perfect candidate

00:40:58
for liberation

00:40:59
after nightly

00:41:00
encouragement

00:41:02
from the voice of America,

00:41:05
which had moved people there to open insurrection.

00:41:10
This is the this is the

00:41:13
ultimate corruption and evil

00:41:16
of the Eisenhower administration, folks, is this right

00:41:19
here.

00:41:21
The Kremlin puppets ruling the Hungarians

00:41:24
were toppled from power.

00:41:26
Briefly,

00:41:28
the Hungarian revolt against communism in 1956

00:41:31
lasted

00:41:32
seventeen

00:41:33
days.

00:41:34
Its violent end illustrated that the verbal support

00:41:38
John Foster Dulles and others offered

00:41:41
in the past

00:41:42
had

00:41:44
absolutely nothing

00:41:46
behind it. They lied,

00:41:48
and some people believe they weren't just lying

00:41:51
folks. They actually were

00:41:53
complicit

00:41:54
in having these resistant groups

00:41:56
surface

00:41:58
so they could be slaughtered

00:42:00
by the communist, particularly

00:42:03
in Hungary.

00:42:05
Ike, as president, was as supportive of the

00:42:08
FDR

00:42:09
Yalta sellout,

00:42:12
giving all of Eastern Europe to the Soviet

00:42:15
Union as a buffer zone

00:42:17
as he was in his military days when

00:42:19
he was just

00:42:21
following

00:42:22
orders.

00:42:25
His biographer, Stephen Ambrose, states, Ike told his

00:42:29
National Security Council he did not want to

00:42:31
give the Soviets

00:42:33
any reason

00:42:35
to think The US might actually support the

00:42:37
freedom fighters new government.

00:42:40
In a few days, Hungarian patriots discovered the

00:42:43
American words over the voice of America

00:42:46
radio encouraging

00:42:47
their rebellion

00:42:49
were drowned out

00:42:50
by the roar of Soviet tanks

00:42:53
arriving in Budapest

00:42:56
to reenslave

00:42:58
them.

00:43:00
And so all this time, folks,

00:43:02
Ike is making one and treaty after another

00:43:05
for peace,

00:43:07
for new international

00:43:09
treaties,

00:43:09
and all the other crap we get from

00:43:12
internationalists.

00:43:13
That's also going on in the backdrop

00:43:16
of these opportunities

00:43:17
missed, these opportunities

00:43:19
ignored

00:43:21
to defeat communism,

00:43:23
to rid the earth of it.

00:43:25
The Soviet Union continued tyranny at home and

00:43:28
in their captive territories

00:43:31
and fomented discord and installation

00:43:33
of tyrants

00:43:35
around the globe.

00:43:37
This didn't stop Ike

00:43:39
and the smart set of internationalists

00:43:42
around him from working overtime to determine how

00:43:45
they could devise overtures

00:43:48
to the Soviet tyrants

00:43:49
to bring them into the rarefied

00:43:52
atmosphere

00:43:53
of diplomacy.

00:43:55
Ike's first year in office, he pronounced his

00:43:58
wish to give the UN

00:44:00
control of atomic energy

00:44:03
to guarantee a ban on nuclear weapons

00:44:06
while stating his desire

00:44:08
to

00:44:09
cut defense spending. And keep in mind, folks,

00:44:12
when Eisenhower

00:44:13
was on the board of the Carnegie Endowment

00:44:16
of International Peace, they declared

00:44:18
that their absolute

00:44:20
focus was doing everything they could do to

00:44:22
strengthen

00:44:23
the UN.

00:44:24
And that's why Alger Hiss was such a

00:44:27
perfect fit to be president at that time

00:44:30
of that board because that's what he was

00:44:32
all about

00:44:34
as a communist agent.

00:44:37
John Foster Dulles convinced Eisenhower to pursue meetings

00:44:41
for new for a nuclear test ban treaty

00:44:44
with the Soviets in 1957.

00:44:47
That's just a few months after this Hungarian

00:44:49
revolt, folks.

00:44:51
By 1958,

00:44:52
even Dulles,

00:44:53
even Dulles,

00:44:54
was openly opposing new defense spending,

00:44:58
stating his belief that we did not need

00:45:00
overwhelming

00:45:01
support

00:45:01
superiority

00:45:03
over our communist foes.

00:45:05
Meanwhile, Eisenhower talked about consolidating

00:45:08
the armed forces

00:45:10
and getting rid of the marine corps.

00:45:13
He didn't actually take any moves in that

00:45:16
direction.

00:45:17
In 1959,

00:45:18
Khrushchev visited America at Eisenhower's

00:45:22
invitation.

00:45:23
However, in the following year, just weeks before

00:45:26
a summit between cold war foes was about

00:45:29
to occur,

00:45:30
events transpired to prevent it from being successful.

00:45:34
A US high altitude,

00:45:36
u two spy plane was shot down over

00:45:39
The USSR in May 1960.

00:45:42
I claimed the plane was doing weather research

00:45:45
until the Soviets produced the pilot, a poor

00:45:48
fellow named Gary Powers,

00:45:50
and produced his confession

00:45:52
and photographic evidence of espionage.

00:45:55
The embarrassed Eisenhower was informed that the state

00:45:57
visit to the AOSSR

00:45:59
he had been so looking

00:46:02
for, looking forward to, excuse me,

00:46:04
had been canceled.

00:46:07
Meanwhile,

00:46:09
we just have a theme that continues during

00:46:11
the whole time that the CIA

00:46:14
is getting everything wrong.

00:46:17
I don't know if they're getting everything wrong,

00:46:19
folks, but they're they're coming up with the

00:46:21
wrong thing to do or not doing anything

00:46:24
at the times when they should have been

00:46:26
if there really was this

00:46:28
militant

00:46:29
anti communist

00:46:30
conservative

00:46:32
government and power in Washington DC.

00:46:36
The CIA got it wrong a lot under

00:46:38
the leadership of John Foster's brother, Allen

00:46:42
Dulles,

00:46:43
just months after Ike took office, the administration

00:46:46
was taken aback

00:46:47
by the explosion of the discontent that I

00:46:50
talked about that occurred in East Germany.

00:46:53
During the test ban negotiations,

00:46:55
the agency produced a row a report

00:46:58
stating in the past that it had grossly

00:47:01
exaggerated

00:47:02
the scope

00:47:03
of the Soviet effort. And this is also

00:47:05
a theme of the CIA. It didn't just

00:47:07
end here, folks. They were constantly

00:47:10
saying how powerful the Soviets were. We could

00:47:13
not confront them. Their economy was a powerhouse.

00:47:17
They had all these nuclear weapons.

00:47:19
This is constant.

00:47:21
And and Reagan just completely punctured that, folks,

00:47:24
completely punctured that in the nineteen eighties, but

00:47:27
there were even people admitting that they, the

00:47:30
CIA was pulling this crap

00:47:32
back under Eisenhower.

00:47:35
Eisenhower used this new CIA assessment to resist

00:47:38
calls by conservative

00:47:40
Republicans and Democrats

00:47:42
to increase military spending

00:47:44
as he sought to curry favor

00:47:46
with the Soviet Union.

00:47:49
And, you know, when we talk about Eisenhower's

00:47:52
warning about the military industrial

00:47:54
complex,

00:47:56
Just keep that in mind.

00:48:00
Alan Dulles was as surprised as anyone

00:48:03
when the Soviets launched Sputnik and set off

00:48:06
a panic in The United States that America

00:48:08
was falling behind the Soviet Union technologically.

00:48:12
Notably, Dulles

00:48:13
claimed he was unaware

00:48:16
of the communist

00:48:17
affiliation

00:48:18
of Fidel Castro.

00:48:21
As he claimed to be, he was, just

00:48:23
same claim he made about those Iraqi army

00:48:26
officers I mentioned earlier in this broadcast.

00:48:30
And this was despite mountains of readily available

00:48:33
evidence to the contrary folks. All kinds of

00:48:36
people were writing about Castro being a communist.

00:48:39
Robert Welch talked about it at great length.

00:48:41
They he was arrested in Colombia in 1948

00:48:44
as part of a failed communist revolution there.

00:48:48
Castro's complication is confiscation of the holding of

00:48:51
Americans' corporations,

00:48:52
though,

00:48:54
suddenly clarified Castro's affiliations for the American elite

00:48:58
and finally moved Dulles

00:49:00
to action.

00:49:02
Folks, this is the hour of decision. My

00:49:05
name is Lou Moore, and we're gonna continue

00:49:07
talking about Dwight David Eisenhower and his many,

00:49:10
many, many sins

00:49:11
next week.
