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.
00:00:48
Welcome to the one hundred and seventh episode
00:00:51
of hour of decision.
00:00:53
My name is Lou Moore, and today, we
00:00:55
are gonna continue our series
00:00:57
on Dwight David Eisenhower and continue
00:01:01
his foreign policy, his globalist
00:01:04
internationalist
00:01:05
foreign policy profile.
00:01:07
And if we have time, we're gonna get
00:01:09
into immigration
00:01:10
because everybody thinks
00:01:12
Dwight Eisenhower was a big deporter. Boy, he
00:01:14
was tough. He was so tough on protecting
00:01:17
our borders.
00:01:18
Folks, couldn't be farther from the truth.
00:01:22
But we'll see if we get that far
00:01:23
today, but we're not going to start there.
00:01:25
We're gonna start
00:01:27
with,
00:01:28
a reprise. We're gonna go back through a
00:01:30
little bit and talk about the Korean War.
00:01:33
We're gonna talk about,
00:01:35
Cuba
00:01:36
and Vietnam.
00:01:38
So the Korean War,
00:01:40
just to recap,
00:01:42
we got into it after the communist took
00:01:45
almost the entire Korean landmass
00:01:48
using material they got from The United States
00:01:50
as a result of the Yalta agreement.
00:01:54
MacArthur was sent in by president Truman. MacArthur
00:01:57
pushed them all the way up to the
00:01:58
Yalu River, the communist,
00:02:00
up to the border of China.
00:02:02
At which point, China entered the war with
00:02:05
massive numbers of troops,
00:02:07
poorly trained, but a whole lot of them.
00:02:10
And, MacArthur wanted to use tactical nuclear weapons
00:02:13
and other field weapons
00:02:16
and go all out and keep them from
00:02:18
crossing the river and go into China
00:02:21
and attack their bases and their material in
00:02:23
China. And, also, to let Lu Chiang Kai
00:02:26
shek, who Truman had basically been holding hostage
00:02:30
on the island of Formosa, but he still
00:02:32
had one to 2
00:02:33
crack
00:02:34
nationalist troops
00:02:36
that were with him on that island, and
00:02:37
they were just raring to go
00:02:40
to get another shot at Mao on the
00:02:42
mainland.
00:02:43
So, anyway, Truman,
00:02:45
did not want to do any of this.
00:02:48
The war was being prosecuted under the auspices
00:02:51
of the United Nations,
00:02:53
a terrible situation to begin with. So Truman
00:02:56
fired MacArthur
00:02:58
and then allowed the communist to push us
00:03:01
all the way back
00:03:02
to the 38 Parallel fairly close to where
00:03:05
the conflict began.
00:03:07
And, at that point, there was a stalemate
00:03:09
that was inherited by Dwight David Eisenhower.
00:03:13
And Eisenhower, of course, was not a liberation
00:03:16
man. As we talked about in the last
00:03:18
episode, he was not for
00:03:20
liberating the captive peoples despite the campaign messaging
00:03:23
that he allowed Richard Nixon
00:03:25
and John Foster Dulles to undertake
00:03:28
in the nineteen fifty two presidential
00:03:30
election.
00:03:31
Eisenhower was an internationalist,
00:03:33
a globalist,
00:03:34
and therefore, he was all for containment.
00:03:38
And so, all he wanted to do was
00:03:40
keep that line where it was and end
00:03:41
that war.
00:03:43
And he was pretty desperate to do it.
00:03:45
Now they put rumors out that they threatened
00:03:47
North Korea with nuclear weapons
00:03:51
if they weren't,
00:03:52
if they weren't willing to sign these armistice.
00:03:54
But my first question would be, why didn't
00:03:56
we use them when we were winning
00:03:58
and had the entire country and use them
00:04:00
to take down the Chinese Communist Party?
00:04:03
But, will be a question for another day.
00:04:05
At any rate, I don't believe it
00:04:07
because Eisenhower seemed pretty desperate
00:04:10
at the negotiating table to end this conflict.
00:04:13
And, of course, it's really
00:04:15
not technically ended even today,
00:04:17
but it was kind of a stalemate and
00:04:19
a and a, agreement of sorts that was
00:04:21
reached.
00:04:22
And, this is why we still have, what,
00:04:24
40 troops at the 38 Parallel in Korea.
00:04:28
They've been there ever since.
00:04:31
Eisenhower was at the negotiating table,
00:04:34
with the communist. But what,
00:04:36
the proof that Eisenhower was desperate
00:04:39
to just end this conflict and be done
00:04:41
with it
00:04:42
as opposed to winning it or being honorable
00:04:46
or protecting our own troops or honoring all
00:04:48
of our troops that died in the mud
00:04:51
and the cold and the
00:04:56
horrid conditions that were the nature and the
00:04:57
environment of the Korean War.
00:05:00
Eisenhower left 1
00:05:03
POWs
00:05:05
in North Korea,
00:05:06
but he has experience
00:05:09
with doing this,
00:05:11
and, I'm gonna talk about that more in
00:05:13
a minute. But first, for the viewing audience
00:05:15
and,
00:05:16
for those of you watching on Rumble,
00:05:19
I am showing in front of the camera
00:05:21
an examination
00:05:22
of US policy toward POWs
00:05:24
and MIAs, which was an official
00:05:27
report of the US Committee on Foreign Relations,
00:05:31
from the Republican staff of that committee
00:05:34
dated 05/23/1991.
00:05:37
Folks, this is one of the seminal documents,
00:05:40
one of the most important documents,
00:05:43
to refer to when you're talking about this
00:05:45
whole issue of POWs and MIAs. You've seen
00:05:49
the black flag,
00:05:51
flying. They still fly it. The politicians fly
00:05:53
it. Everybody flies it. Oh, we love the
00:05:55
POWs. We didn't do a damn thing to
00:05:57
get any of them out, folks. We didn't.
00:06:00
Our politicians
00:06:01
sold out the common people who give their
00:06:03
lives willing to get put on a uniform
00:06:05
and give their lives for this country.
00:06:07
We did not
00:06:09
take care of our people. Not in World
00:06:11
War two, not in Korea.
00:06:14
So,
00:06:16
sorry about that. That's a fact.
00:06:18
And it says
00:06:20
right here in this report on page
00:06:24
let's see. It's 4.5.
00:06:29
At the time of the re official reparation,
00:06:32
some of our
00:06:33
reparites stated that they had been informed by
00:06:36
the communist, that they, the communist,
00:06:38
were holding some
00:06:40
American flyers as political prisoners rather than as
00:06:43
prisoners
00:06:44
of war, and that these people would have
00:06:47
to be negotiated
00:06:48
for
00:06:49
through political or diplomatic
00:06:51
channels.
00:06:53
Due to the fact that we did not
00:06:54
recognize the red regime in China, no political
00:06:56
negotiations were instituted, although the state department did
00:06:59
have some exploratory discussions
00:07:02
with the British in an attempt
00:07:04
to get at the problem.
00:07:06
The situation was relatively dormant, when in late
00:07:10
nineteen, November
00:07:11
1954,
00:07:13
Peking Radio announced that 13 of these political
00:07:15
prisoners had been sentenced
00:07:18
for spying.
00:07:19
The announcement caused a public uproar in demand
00:07:22
from The US citizens, congressional leaders, and organizations
00:07:25
for
00:07:26
action
00:07:28
to affect
00:07:30
their release.
00:07:32
But these 11 political prisoners are not the
00:07:34
only US servicemen, the Chinese,
00:07:38
and is primarily was the Chinese held the
00:07:41
held after
00:07:42
the Korean War ended. The New York Times
00:07:45
reported that communist China this is the New
00:07:47
York Times, ladies and gentlemen.
00:07:50
Communist China is holding,
00:07:52
prisoners other than United States air force personnel
00:07:56
besides the 11 who were recently sentenced
00:07:58
on spying charges following their capture
00:08:01
during the Korean War.
00:08:03
This information was brought out of China by
00:08:05
squadron leader Andrew r McKenzie,
00:08:08
a Canadian flyer who was released today by
00:08:10
the Chinese at the Hong Kong border.
00:08:13
He reached freedom there two years to the
00:08:15
day after he was shot down and fell
00:08:18
into Chinese hands
00:08:19
in North Korea.
00:08:21
Held back from the Korean War prisoner exchange,
00:08:23
he was released by the Peking,
00:08:26
as they called the thin regime,
00:08:28
following a period of no negotiations through diplomatic
00:08:31
channels.
00:08:32
Wing commander Donald Skeen, his brother-in-law,
00:08:36
who was sent here from Canada to meet
00:08:38
him, said guardedly
00:08:40
at a press conference later that an
00:08:43
undisclosed number of American airmen
00:08:46
had been seen in the same camp with
00:08:48
squadron leader Mackenzie.
00:08:50
Wayne Komatterzewski said none of the Americans in
00:08:53
the camp was on the list of 11
00:08:55
whose sentencing was announced
00:08:57
by the Chinese 11/23/1954.
00:09:03
And,
00:09:04
this goes on folks with a lot of
00:09:06
detail, but bottom line
00:09:08
bottom line,
00:09:09
the New York Times
00:09:11
agreed that at least 1
00:09:14
of our prisoners of war
00:09:17
for of our you know, despite these excuses
00:09:19
and the fact it was China rather than
00:09:21
North Korea,
00:09:23
were never returned.
00:09:25
Were never
00:09:27
returned.
00:09:28
This is on the watch, ladies and gentlemen,
00:09:30
of Dwight
00:09:32
David Eisenhower, a supposed conservative
00:09:35
anti communist present president.
00:09:41
Terrible.
00:09:43
Absolutely
00:09:44
terrible.
00:09:46
After the official reparation efforts were completed, the
00:09:50
UN command found that it still had slightly
00:09:52
less than 1,
00:09:57
prisoners of war that were unaccounted for by
00:10:00
the communists.
00:10:01
And that's a quote from a confidential report
00:10:04
prepared by the defense advisory committee on prisoners
00:10:07
of war,
00:10:08
you know, in a long, report number CPOWDash3D1,
00:10:15
06/08/1955.
00:10:17
And, you know, this is not a footnote
00:10:18
show. I kinda skim over the top of
00:10:20
these issues. And, folks,
00:10:22
there is a ton of documentation
00:10:25
about a minimum
00:10:27
of 1
00:10:29
of our troops
00:10:31
knowingly left in the hands of these vicious
00:10:34
communists
00:10:36
at the end of the Korean War, and
00:10:37
that is all on.
00:10:39
Dwight
00:10:41
David Eisenhower,
00:10:42
peace without honor.
00:10:45
Peace without honor
00:10:47
at the end of the Korean War. And,
00:10:49
of course, a totally useless war. They ended
00:10:51
up right where they started.
00:10:53
A typical example in the first really deadly
00:10:56
bloody example
00:10:58
of the idiocy
00:11:00
of containment
00:11:02
as a weapon
00:11:03
against the communist world.
00:11:06
But Eisenhower
00:11:07
had experience
00:11:09
with this kind of betrayal because when he
00:11:11
was just following orders
00:11:14
in World War two,
00:11:17
on May 19,
00:11:20
four days before the start of the Hale
00:11:23
meeting,
00:11:24
a cable sign, and this is quoting now
00:11:26
from this report
00:11:27
on page three dash 19,
00:11:30
a cable signed by Eisenhower
00:11:32
at the allied supreme headquarters stated that,
00:11:35
this is a cable signed by Dwight David
00:11:38
Eisenhower,
00:11:40
the number of US prisoners
00:11:43
estimated
00:11:44
in Russian control.
00:11:46
Folks, these are supposed to be our allies.
00:11:50
The number of US prisoners
00:11:53
estimated
00:11:53
in Russian control,
00:11:57
this is in May
00:11:58
1945,
00:11:59
25.
00:12:04
25
00:12:07
American troops that Dwight
00:12:09
David
00:12:10
Eisenhower
00:12:11
as our supreme ally commander in Europe knowingly
00:12:16
left
00:12:17
to the butchery,
00:12:20
the torture,
00:12:21
the psychological
00:12:23
depredations,
00:12:25
the enslavement
00:12:27
that one found
00:12:29
behind the iron curtain
00:12:31
in May
00:12:33
1945.
00:12:36
So that's really the beginning, folks,
00:12:39
of this whole POWMIA
00:12:41
situation. Of course, we left troops in Vietnam.
00:12:43
We're just terrible.
00:12:45
The globalist don't give a damn about your
00:12:49
kids or about you if you're young.
00:12:51
If you're going off to fight their wars,
00:12:54
you're a piece of meat.
00:12:56
Okay?
00:12:57
That's it. That's it. They don't care.
00:13:00
And this is a pretty dang good example.
00:13:02
Once again, this was from
00:13:04
an examination of US policy toward POWMIAs.
00:13:09
The honorable Jesse Helms,
00:13:11
kind of at the helm at this one.
00:13:13
It was published 05/23/1991,
00:13:17
by the United States Senate.
00:13:21
So
00:13:23
there you go.
00:13:24
Korea.
00:13:25
Disgusting.
00:13:27
Absolutely disgusting
00:13:29
on the part
00:13:31
on the role played by Dwight,
00:13:34
David Eisenhower.
00:13:41
So I wanna return for a minute to
00:13:42
Cuba and then talk a little bit more
00:13:44
about Vietnam. So
00:13:47
I mentioned that, 1958,
00:13:49
Castro,
00:13:50
on the watch of our great anti communist
00:13:52
leader, Dwight Eisenhower,
00:13:55
captured Cuba, and the CIA said, we had
00:13:58
no idea
00:13:59
he was going to be a communist. We
00:14:01
thought he was the George Washington of Cuba
00:14:04
because that's what the New York Times told
00:14:06
us.
00:14:07
That's what the reporters from the Times that
00:14:09
would go up into the mountains and see
00:14:12
the romantic,
00:14:13
Fidel with his beard and Che Guevara
00:14:16
with his beard and their berets.
00:14:19
They're beautiful women hanging off of them.
00:14:22
They were just the most romantic figures and
00:14:25
such a wonderful thing. And all all this
00:14:27
is the backdrop of this is, folks,
00:14:30
the globalist had determined
00:14:32
even before World War two that there was
00:14:34
no more use,
00:14:36
to the French Empire and to the British
00:14:38
Empire and these other European empires. And I
00:14:40
touched on this last week.
00:14:43
I ended up doing a replay last week,
00:14:45
and I talked about colonialism and talked about
00:14:48
the fact that,
00:14:50
the empires were used by the globalists initially
00:14:54
because they were transmission bells for their ideas.
00:14:57
You know, the sun never set on the
00:14:58
British Empire. If you had control of the
00:15:00
British Empire,
00:15:01
you could exert influence
00:15:04
all over the globe,
00:15:05
which the Labour Party, the Fabian socialist in
00:15:08
Britain did.
00:15:09
But it it they it came to a
00:15:11
point that both in Britain and in The
00:15:13
United States,
00:15:14
they determined that these colonies were no longer
00:15:16
useful because they were in the way of,
00:15:21
third world rebellion, which was the communist plan,
00:15:24
the Marxist plan,
00:15:26
and in in the way of creating a
00:15:28
one big, beautiful, one world government
00:15:32
where there weren't any, powers in Western Europe
00:15:34
or in The United States
00:15:37
to interfere
00:15:39
with the,
00:15:40
prosecution
00:15:41
of a one world government.
00:15:44
So this is why if you listen to
00:15:46
my Roosevelt series,
00:15:48
Roosevelt
00:15:49
told Churchill on the ship when he met
00:15:51
him on the ship before we really jumped
00:15:53
in to help the Brits
00:15:55
in World War two
00:15:56
that he was gonna have to get rid
00:15:58
of his empire.
00:16:00
And Roosevelt was very adamant about this. That
00:16:02
was a communist line, and that was the
00:16:04
line by that time of the Fabian socialist
00:16:06
around the world.
00:16:08
And sure enough,
00:16:09
that started to happen after
00:16:11
World War two.
00:16:13
And,
00:16:14
that colors
00:16:16
the response to communist insurgencies
00:16:20
in places like Cuba. So Cuba was not
00:16:22
an American colony, but it was,
00:16:26
a fruit of America's victory in the Spanish
00:16:28
American war against Spain where we took
00:16:31
the colony of Puerto Rico. We took
00:16:34
the colony of The Philippines, and we made
00:16:36
Cuba
00:16:37
technically independent, but they were basically completely under
00:16:41
our wing, and there was a huge
00:16:43
influence of American businesses in Cuba, and it's
00:16:47
arguable how independent they actually were.
00:16:51
And so for that reason,
00:16:53
Castro,
00:16:54
was just all these people love Castro because
00:16:57
he was a lefty,
00:16:59
and, it was very clear that he was
00:17:01
going to take
00:17:03
Cuba out of the orbit of The United
00:17:05
States even though at the same time they
00:17:07
sold the public on the idea
00:17:10
that he was the George Washington of Cuba
00:17:12
when they knew better.
00:17:13
When he was in college, he belonged to
00:17:15
nothing but extreme left wing organizations. His closest
00:17:18
friends were members of the communist party back
00:17:20
then in Cuba in the nineteen forties.
00:17:23
In 1948,
00:17:24
he was arrested in Bogota, Colombia
00:17:26
as part of a communist uprising that failed
00:17:29
at that time
00:17:30
in Colombia.
00:17:32
I mean, how is it, folks,
00:17:34
that the CIA
00:17:37
and Dwight David Eisenhower did not know
00:17:40
In 1958,
00:17:41
that Castro was a communist when members of
00:17:44
the John Birch Society, like all of them,
00:17:47
did know
00:17:48
without any
00:17:49
classified information, without any intelligence
00:17:52
gathering.
00:17:53
Just from the the most cursory view of
00:17:55
the public record,
00:17:57
it was damn obvious.
00:17:59
The man was a communist.
00:18:01
And, of course, it quickly became revealed
00:18:05
once he took power. And if he wouldn't
00:18:06
have been so quick to grab all of
00:18:08
the corporate goodies,
00:18:10
he probably would have got along okay with
00:18:13
our corporate masters, but he went a little
00:18:15
too far. And so as soon we had
00:18:16
the plotting of the Bay of Pigs, and
00:18:17
I won't get into that, that was on
00:18:19
Kennedy's watch,
00:18:21
disaster. But,
00:18:22
anyway
00:18:24
so Eisenhower, terrible.
00:18:26
Cuba, terrible.
00:18:27
And a,
00:18:29
a permanent
00:18:31
a permanent result of this and why it's
00:18:33
significant and why all this history is significant.
00:18:36
Everything back then leads to something today, folks.
00:18:39
And Cuba
00:18:40
has been,
00:18:42
the,
00:18:44
the go to group, both intelligence wise and
00:18:47
for soldiers
00:18:48
all over this world for the communist conspiracy.
00:18:50
It's had a tremendous impact
00:18:53
that Cuba went communist, and now Trump's choking
00:18:56
them off. They may not be communist very
00:18:58
much longer. We're gonna have to see.
00:19:00
Trump is really going after Cuba at this
00:19:02
point, but I won't digress into
00:19:04
what he's doing today. But, I mean, if
00:19:06
you look at Angola or Mozambique or you
00:19:09
looked
00:19:10
a few weeks ago at Venezuela, who do
00:19:12
you who is guarding,
00:19:13
Maduro? Who's Cubans? All Cubans.
00:19:16
And so, you know, they've been involved with
00:19:17
the drug trade. They've been involved with the
00:19:19
Medellin Cartel and these cartels.
00:19:21
All of this stuff, Cuba, Cuba, Cuba, all
00:19:24
over it. Anything against America, you know, they're
00:19:27
uprising Nicaragua, they're uprising in El Salvador
00:19:30
of years ago, Cuba, all over it. So
00:19:33
a huge impact from the missteps
00:19:36
and the disastrous policy, and,
00:19:40
I won't get into the
00:19:44
Dwight David Eisenhower
00:19:46
toward Cuba.
00:19:47
Terrible.
00:19:48
And not a containment.
00:19:50
A loss. Big loss,
00:19:52
you know, in 1958
00:19:54
on his watch.
00:19:56
So Vietnam,
00:19:57
even a much more I mean, much more
00:20:00
consequence
00:20:01
than Cuba because of the whole societal
00:20:04
uproar in the nineteen sixties.
00:20:06
They hold,
00:20:08
assault on America's identity,
00:20:11
America's legitimacy,
00:20:13
the fact that we had put so many
00:20:16
of our sons and daughters in harm's way
00:20:19
at one time over 500
00:20:22
in Vietnam. And, of course, this came later,
00:20:25
not on Eisenhower's watch. It came later. But
00:20:27
his moves initially,
00:20:30
folks,
00:20:31
have everything to do with all of the
00:20:33
disasters
00:20:34
that followed. So I said in the last
00:20:36
episode,
00:20:38
like in Korea, there was a big summit,
00:20:40
and it was called by John Foster Dulles,
00:20:43
mister internationalist himself,
00:20:46
parading occasionally as a right wing extremist, but,
00:20:48
in fact, a left wing internationalist, the secretary
00:20:51
of state for Eisenhower.
00:20:53
Dulles called this big international conference,
00:20:56
and the result of it was Vietnam
00:20:59
was partitioned
00:21:00
into half communist under Ho Chi Minh
00:21:03
and half,
00:21:04
supposedly non communist.
00:21:07
And, that was South Vietnam.
00:21:09
And, of course, before that, we refused aid
00:21:12
to the French
00:21:14
colonialists
00:21:16
who were fighting the communist. Again,
00:21:19
the dictum of the hour, we are against
00:21:21
colonialism. We're just against colonialism no matter what
00:21:24
the outcome is. Even
00:21:26
though the French were invited into Vietnam,
00:21:30
even though
00:21:31
the monarchy of Vietnam and that's the other
00:21:34
thing. We were totally against all these monarchies
00:21:36
even though they were a source of spirituality
00:21:39
for the Asian people, a source of stability,
00:21:41
and a place that we could have worked
00:21:43
with these people to keep the communist out.
00:21:46
You know, they were they were opposed to
00:21:48
the communist, but no. No. No. And they
00:21:50
were working with the French.
00:21:52
And, but we would not support the French.
00:21:55
So then we have this partition, and so
00:21:57
then there's this blank slate of South Vietnam.
00:22:00
What kind of a country will it be?
00:22:02
How will it respond to the challenge of
00:22:04
communism?
00:22:05
Well, they didn't respond very well, folks,
00:22:07
because they were being run,
00:22:10
essentially, by whatever policy was developed at the
00:22:13
Council on Foreign Relations and, of course, by
00:22:16
the Eisenhower
00:22:17
administration.
00:22:19
So there were 20 or 25
00:22:22
anti
00:22:23
communist militias
00:22:25
in South Vietnam,
00:22:26
and many of them were pro French,
00:22:29
some were Catholic,
00:22:30
some were Buddhist,
00:22:31
some were not so
00:22:33
pro French, but they were anti communist, but
00:22:35
they all were willing to unify around the
00:22:39
monarch whose name was Bao Dai.
00:22:42
At that time, he'd be at nominate. He
00:22:43
wasn't the greatest guy in the world. I'm
00:22:45
not trying to say that.
00:22:47
But, he was a a, you know, you
00:22:49
know, that's what monarchs generally are above anything
00:22:52
else, a unifying figure. A lot of times
00:22:53
they're tied into the religion of the people,
00:22:56
the cultural,
00:22:58
stories of the people, etcetera, etcetera. Anyway,
00:23:02
all of these militias
00:23:04
were willing to fight the communist
00:23:08
under the leadership of Bao Dai. But no.
00:23:10
No. No.
00:23:11
Because,
00:23:12
you know, we were we had to we
00:23:14
demands we demanded
00:23:17
only individuals who were anti colonialist
00:23:21
and anti monarchist.
00:23:23
And, and then to find somebody like that
00:23:25
that's not a communist is pretty tough, but
00:23:27
they did find one by name of, Nigot
00:23:29
Diem,
00:23:31
who had a family,
00:23:33
whose brother was an internationalist
00:23:35
labor leader, a socialist,
00:23:38
whose, sister-in-law,
00:23:41
ran a fascist type militia
00:23:43
in Vietnam.
00:23:45
And we put all our chips
00:23:48
on this guy.
00:23:49
He was anti colonialist,
00:23:52
but he was a Catholic.
00:23:54
The country is overwhelmingly
00:23:55
Buddhist.
00:23:57
He had no
00:23:58
love of the traditions of the country,
00:24:01
definitely not colonialism,
00:24:02
but not of the traditional,
00:24:04
nature of Vietnam either.
00:24:07
And he was a looter,
00:24:10
and he rigged elections.
00:24:13
And he put people
00:24:15
basically imprisoned them in their rural hamlets.
00:24:18
And it was a total
00:24:21
disaster. Vietnam, a total disaster. And I go
00:24:24
into this in great detail
00:24:26
in my Vietnam episode. I don't have the
00:24:28
number in front of me, but if you
00:24:29
go back through my archive, it's in the
00:24:31
twenties, I think.
00:24:33
I have an episode all about Vietnam. It's
00:24:36
almost two hours long, folks. It tells this
00:24:38
whole story and who's right in the middle
00:24:39
of it, Dwight David Eisenhower.
00:24:42
You're listening to Hour of Decision on Liberty
00:24:44
News Radio, and we'll be right back after
00:24:46
the news. Welcome back to Hour of Decision.
00:24:50
My name is Lou Moore. We are on
00:24:52
the one hundred and seventh episode of Hour
00:24:54
of Decision, the eighth
00:24:56
in a series of episodes talking about the
00:24:59
presidency
00:25:00
of Dwight
00:25:01
David Eisenhower. And today, we're talking about the
00:25:03
disasters,
00:25:05
of eyes of Eisenhower foreign policy in terms
00:25:08
of the end of the Korean War, in
00:25:10
terms of Cuba.
00:25:12
And now we've been talking about Vietnam. I'm
00:25:14
talking about
00:25:16
Diem,
00:25:16
the president of Vietnam, who was backed all
00:25:19
the way
00:25:20
by the Council of Foreign Relations crowd
00:25:23
by all the powers that be. They gave
00:25:25
him a ticker tape parade in New York,
00:25:27
and he
00:25:28
met with the CFR
00:25:30
people, the leadership,
00:25:31
with the Rockefellers.
00:25:33
And then he had a presidential
00:25:35
reception when he came to The United States
00:25:37
in 1957.
00:25:39
But, Diem,
00:25:41
was busy doing two things there in the
00:25:43
late nineteen fifties.
00:25:45
First of all,
00:25:47
he was rounding up all of the anti
00:25:50
communist
00:25:51
in Vietnam that were not in South Vietnam
00:25:54
that were not supporting him,
00:25:56
which was most of them. And all of
00:25:58
these many,
00:26:00
battle hardened, defective militias
00:26:02
around the country that were loyal to, the
00:26:05
French, who had been loyal to,
00:26:08
Buddhist sects, who'd been loyal to, Bao Dai,
00:26:11
the monarch,
00:26:12
all of these rounded up by Diem. And
00:26:15
at the same time, he also,
00:26:16
was involved with secret negotiations. They didn't end
00:26:19
up to be successful,
00:26:21
but he was negotiating
00:26:22
secretly with Ho Chi Minh during this time.
00:26:25
I mean, this guy was a complete dirtbag,
00:26:27
but he got the full
00:26:29
full support
00:26:31
of the internationalist
00:26:33
in the mid, nineteen fifties who saw Vietnam
00:26:35
as kind of a kind of a big
00:26:37
experimental area, South Vietnam.
00:26:40
You know, all the foundations went in there,
00:26:42
and the CIA was in there doing all
00:26:44
kind of
00:26:45
psychological
00:26:46
experiments, and they were working out there
00:26:49
in the bush, with their strategic hamlet program,
00:26:52
which essentially just turned all these villages
00:26:55
into prisons. They lock them in there at
00:26:57
night,
00:26:58
and they thought this was gonna be an
00:27:00
effective way to defeat the communist.
00:27:02
So, you know, the the Diem has got
00:27:05
basically concentration camps full of anti communist.
00:27:08
He's got people fleeing
00:27:11
the rural areas in huge numbers,
00:27:14
because of the strategic Hamlet program or they're
00:27:16
just going over to the
00:27:18
National Liberation Front,
00:27:20
which was technically founded in 1960,
00:27:23
which we,
00:27:24
which became known and became known on American
00:27:26
TV for those of us who grew up
00:27:28
with this war as the Viet Cong.
00:27:32
So total disaster with Diem. I won't go
00:27:35
into his whole story
00:27:36
because it,
00:27:38
the Eisenhower administration ends
00:27:40
before the story plays out, but, you know,
00:27:43
again,
00:27:44
every part of this
00:27:46
is wrong.
00:27:47
A little bit of, a little bit of
00:27:49
help to the French, and they could have
00:27:51
taken out Ho Chi Minh who was a
00:27:54
Moscow trained,
00:27:57
communist
00:27:58
who was a Stalinist.
00:27:59
So like Stalin, he used nationalist rhetoric, and
00:28:03
you always hear, oh, no.
00:28:05
Ho Chi Minh, he was,
00:28:06
Ho Chi Minh, he was still,
00:28:08
I mean, he was just a nationalist. He
00:28:10
was just standing up for his people.
00:28:12
No. He wasn't, folks. He was a Marxist
00:28:14
Leninist, trained in Moscow, and loved
00:28:17
Joseph Stalin and learned from Stalin.
00:28:20
That unlike Trotsky and unlike Lenin,
00:28:23
Stalin used nationalist messaging,
00:28:26
nationalist rhetoric as did Mao,
00:28:28
as do the communist Chinese today. I mean,
00:28:31
they're arguably more national socialist,
00:28:35
small n, small s,
00:28:37
than than than they are in some ways
00:28:39
international communist, but yet they are. I mean,
00:28:42
that's their goal.
00:28:43
Anyway,
00:28:45
a terrible situation. And then we armed Ho
00:28:47
Chi Minh, of course, but I don't wanna
00:28:48
digress into the whole whole thing with Vietnam.
00:28:51
He he really was empowered by us,
00:28:54
by communist,
00:28:56
leaning, if not communist officials in our OSS
00:29:00
in World War two that armed him to
00:29:02
the teeth and told people in Washington he
00:29:04
was the greatest thing in the world.
00:29:07
And then, and then later,
00:29:09
we backed the guy that disarms all the
00:29:11
true anti communist in the country
00:29:13
and loots the hell out of the country.
00:29:16
Him and his family, the Diem family,
00:29:18
were looting the country
00:29:20
and,
00:29:21
stripping it of its resources and shipping a
00:29:23
lot of it overseas.
00:29:26
And, like I said, putting their opponents in
00:29:28
concentration camps. So this is who Eisenhower back,
00:29:30
folks.
00:29:31
And,
00:29:33
I'll just, tag on at the end.
00:29:35
This also doesn't completely blow up until you
00:29:37
get into the Kennedy administration, but
00:29:40
Eisenhower had a meeting
00:29:43
with Kennedy or, his people, top people, Kennedy's
00:29:46
top people in the transition
00:29:48
after Kennedy had won the election in 1960,
00:29:51
and this is I think it was around
00:29:52
Christmas time in 1960. They had this meeting
00:29:55
where Ike says,
00:29:56
sorry about it, JFK, but, handing you Laos
00:29:59
here, which is the one of the other
00:30:02
nations that were part of French Indochina that,
00:30:05
adjoining Vietnam.
00:30:07
And, the communist are about ready to take
00:30:09
over Laos.
00:30:10
So, you you know, bottom line,
00:30:13
Eisenhower did not do a good job of
00:30:16
any kind
00:30:17
containing communism
00:30:19
on his watch.
00:30:20
Eisenhower was a complete advocate of internationalism,
00:30:24
a complete advocate of anti colonialism,
00:30:27
and a a complete advocate of anti monarchism,
00:30:31
which were disastrous beliefs to have if you
00:30:34
were trying to stop
00:30:35
the onslaught
00:30:37
of communist in the third world. As I
00:30:39
said, in the episode I reran last week,
00:30:41
episode 79
00:30:43
about colonialism,
00:30:45
I talk about all that stuff.
00:30:48
Anyhow,
00:30:49
so,
00:30:51
and Eisenhower and and, you know, and why
00:30:53
was he so solicitous to the Russians constantly?
00:30:55
I I mean, why you know, I talked
00:30:57
about in the last Eisenhower episode,
00:31:00
how he gave him a pass in Hungary,
00:31:02
gave him a pass in Poland, gave him
00:31:04
the pass in East Germany,
00:31:06
gave him a pass when there was a
00:31:07
rebellion within the Soviet Union,
00:31:10
never in any way helped them, wanted to
00:31:12
make sure they knew that we were not
00:31:14
trying to help these anti communist rebels
00:31:18
in any way.
00:31:20
And why was he doing this? Because he
00:31:22
was an internationalist, and he was hell bent
00:31:25
on continuing to build these world institutions
00:31:28
even though half the world
00:31:30
is now in the midst of a satanic
00:31:32
conspiracy
00:31:34
called communism.
00:31:36
And, but he continued,
00:31:39
the tradition of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I'm starting
00:31:42
with Wilson, but with, Roosevelt,
00:31:45
with Truman,
00:31:47
trying to build these institutions and build the
00:31:50
Soviet Union and now communist China,
00:31:53
eventually, into these institutions.
00:31:58
And so, one of, one of Ike's programs,
00:32:01
Atoms for Peace,
00:32:03
one that that he was kinda pushed into
00:32:05
by one of his sponsors, which I I'm
00:32:07
not gonna get into this in this
00:32:09
series. But, one of those guys behind the
00:32:11
scenes, you know, I I talk about guys
00:32:14
behind the scenes with FDR. One of them
00:32:15
was Bernard Baruch,
00:32:18
a Jewish, financier,
00:32:20
from New York whose father was in the
00:32:22
Ku Klux Klan. Kind of interesting. But, anyway,
00:32:25
but Baruch
00:32:27
was also
00:32:29
a guy behind the curtain with Eisenhower.
00:32:32
And his big project he wanted Eisenhower to
00:32:34
undertake was atoms for peace.
00:32:37
Oh, we gotta spread atomic energy all over
00:32:40
the world for peace, and we have to
00:32:42
put add atomic
00:32:44
energy, atomic power, and eventually
00:32:47
atomic weapons
00:32:49
all under the control
00:32:50
of the United Nations. This is the thinking
00:32:53
of Robert Oppenheimer.
00:32:54
It's even expressed a little bit in that,
00:32:57
terrible propaganda movie that was out about Robert
00:33:00
Oppenheimer
00:33:01
a couple of years ago.
00:33:03
But,
00:33:04
one of the immediate effects of this atoms
00:33:07
for peace program or would become effects
00:33:10
is it proliferated
00:33:11
nuclear materials
00:33:14
into places like Pakistan
00:33:16
and Israel.
00:33:17
And guess what happened?
00:33:19
Both Israel
00:33:20
and Pakistan,
00:33:22
during that original atoms for peace
00:33:25
proposal and then the material and the infrastructure
00:33:28
that was put in place,
00:33:30
we paid for a lot of it. UN,
00:33:33
under the leadership of the UN,
00:33:36
they developed atomic arsenals.
00:33:38
And that's why Pakistan people a lot of
00:33:40
people don't realize Pakistan's got a bunch of
00:33:41
nukes.
00:33:43
And Israel's probably got 200 of them. And
00:33:46
there's more to the story, particularly with Israel.
00:33:48
Won't get into that right now. I've talked
00:33:50
about it some
00:33:52
in my JFK
00:33:54
episodes.
00:33:55
But, anyway,
00:33:56
so this is just an example.
00:33:59
Eisenhower was still pushing the GATT agreement, the
00:34:02
general agreement on tariffs and trade
00:34:05
that led to the WTO.
00:34:07
That led to China eventually getting,
00:34:11
most favored native nation status on a permanent
00:34:14
basis for trade,
00:34:16
which looted our industry and hollowed it out
00:34:19
and made us very, very dependent on a
00:34:22
very dangerous foe,
00:34:24
one we should have taken out at the
00:34:26
end of the Korean
00:34:27
and made that the end of the Korean
00:34:29
conflict,
00:34:30
and not a sellout where we left,
00:34:33
POWs
00:34:34
and we left a festering sore in North
00:34:37
Korea.
00:34:38
Anyway,
00:34:41
so Eisenhower all about these agreements, you know,
00:34:43
he had Khrushchev over here. He wanted to
00:34:45
go over to Russia.
00:34:47
Just wanna keep building these agreements.
00:34:49
The communist have never kept an agreement, folks.
00:34:52
They've never kept an agreement
00:34:55
ever,
00:34:56
ever.
00:34:58
It is stupidity
00:35:00
stupidity and idiocy.
00:35:03
Now it's not idiocy to stall them and
00:35:05
delay them with negotiations
00:35:07
if it's benefiting us,
00:35:10
But to make sacrifices and to give up
00:35:12
things like prisoners of war,
00:35:14
to make them happy,
00:35:16
to just to get an agreement with them,
00:35:19
terrible.
00:35:21
Stupid, but not stupid.
00:35:23
I mean, it depends on what your final
00:35:25
goal is.
00:35:27
Anyway,
00:35:28
Eisenhower,
00:35:29
big problem. So let's talk about immigration.
00:35:33
So,
00:35:34
before Eisenhower
00:35:36
was brought into office,
00:35:38
there was a major immigration,
00:35:40
piece of legislation
00:35:43
that was passed in July
00:35:44
1952.
00:35:46
It was called the mare McCarran Walter Act.
00:35:50
It was passed over president Truman's veto
00:35:54
on in July of, July 24, I guess.
00:35:58
Pioneer day for Utahns.
00:35:59
In 1952,
00:36:01
it was the first codification
00:36:03
of our complex
00:36:05
immigration
00:36:05
and naturalization
00:36:07
laws
00:36:08
ever made. I'm now quoting from an article
00:36:11
in the American Mercury, and, these pages are
00:36:13
about ready to come apart here because this
00:36:16
this is a 1957
00:36:20
article in a 1957
00:36:22
magazine I'm reading from.
00:36:25
The new attack
00:36:29
on our immigration act, which was the,
00:36:32
McCarran Walter Act. So it took two thirds
00:36:35
of the senate to override Truman's veto to
00:36:37
make it
00:36:38
law. It was the first of our complex
00:36:40
immigration and naturalization laws,
00:36:43
a codification of that complexity ever made.
00:36:46
It was based on four and one half
00:36:48
years of research, hearings, investigations,
00:36:51
and debate.
00:36:53
It was supported by such groups as the
00:36:54
American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
00:36:57
and 100
00:36:59
other patriotic
00:37:01
organizations.
00:37:02
Obviously, it had huge support to get two
00:37:04
thirds of the senate to override a presidential
00:37:07
veto to make it the law.
00:37:10
The departments of state and the justice both
00:37:12
endorsed the bill as finally written.
00:37:15
So did the Central Intelligence
00:37:17
Agency.
00:37:18
The head of the immigration naturalization
00:37:20
service called it, quote, a desirable revision of
00:37:23
our immigration
00:37:24
and naturalization
00:37:26
laws.
00:37:27
No government agency opposed it.
00:37:29
It was and is still opposed though by
00:37:31
the communist party
00:37:33
and all of its many front organizations
00:37:35
and sympathetic
00:37:37
politicians
00:37:38
by former senator Herbert Lehman
00:37:40
and former congressman
00:37:42
Emanuel Seller
00:37:43
and other, left
00:37:45
wing politicians.
00:37:49
So, you know and and what did it
00:37:51
do? Oops. Boy, I am losing this pen.
00:37:53
I did should not have put this on
00:37:55
here. That was a mistake. Okay.
00:37:59
Pages are literally falling apart on this thing,
00:38:01
folks.
00:38:02
So what did this act do?
00:38:06
It re it reduced it restricted the annual
00:38:09
amount of immigration to the country.
00:38:12
It destroyed
00:38:13
it, created a national origin quota
00:38:17
so people could come into the country on
00:38:19
the basis of the, ethnic and racial balance
00:38:22
of the country at that time.
00:38:25
And it,
00:38:26
had
00:38:27
very, very strict
00:38:29
security screening
00:38:31
to prevent,
00:38:33
communist from coming into the country.
00:38:36
There was a big problem at the end
00:38:37
of World War two. A lot of left
00:38:40
wingers, a lot of them of Jewish ancestry,
00:38:42
but people of other ancestry as well
00:38:44
came in here that were undesirable
00:38:47
as war refugees.
00:38:49
In fact, Pat McCarron estimated 5
00:38:53
illegal aliens were in the country when Eisenhower
00:38:56
became president.
00:38:57
So why am I talking about this act
00:38:59
right now? It's because in his,
00:39:01
inaugural,
00:39:03
address,
00:39:05
and and and early addresses, Eisenhower made it
00:39:08
very clear, he wanted this act repealed.
00:39:11
He wanted an annual increase of immigration to
00:39:14
1
00:39:16
people a year. This is Dwight David Eisenhower.
00:39:19
He wanted to destroy the national origins quota,
00:39:22
which gears the cultural pattern of immigration to
00:39:25
the cultural pattern of our country
00:39:28
for maximum
00:39:29
assimilation,
00:39:31
and he wanted to emasculate
00:39:33
the security screening and deportation
00:39:36
provisions of the law.
00:39:38
And he used the same guy in the
00:39:40
US Senate he used to go after Joe
00:39:42
McCarthy,
00:39:43
a terrible individual from the state of Utah
00:39:46
named Arthur Watkins,
00:39:47
to promote
00:39:48
this repeal of the McCarran Act.
00:39:52
Ike was all about this.
00:39:54
And so
00:39:55
he he was not, folks,
00:39:57
the deporter in chief. But you're gonna say,
00:40:00
oh, wait a minute. I just I just
00:40:02
saw this on Fox News the other day.
00:40:05
Eisenhower deported 2
00:40:08
people from the Southern Border of The United
00:40:10
States.
00:40:11
And, wow, that was a tremendous deportation, and
00:40:14
how come Trump can't be
00:40:16
like Eisenhower?
00:40:17
You know, we're hearing this every day.
00:40:20
And so let's talk about what happened in
00:40:22
operation
00:40:23
wetback,
00:40:24
which now would be considered probably a racial
00:40:26
slur. I'm sorry. That was what they called
00:40:28
it
00:40:29
in 1954.
00:40:31
And,
00:40:33
what brought on
00:40:35
Eisenhower
00:40:35
deporting
00:40:36
2
00:40:37
Mexicans
00:40:39
from the Southwest Of The United States
00:40:41
that were not American citizens. Well, I'll tell
00:40:43
you what did.
00:40:45
Mexico
00:40:46
demanded it.
00:40:48
The nation Eisenhower
00:40:49
dithered
00:40:51
for well over a year with a larger
00:40:53
and larger and larger accumulation
00:40:55
of aliens
00:40:57
in the Southwest Of The United States
00:41:00
and didn't do anything about it.
00:41:03
But then Mexico
00:41:05
demanded the
00:41:07
this flow of labor stop in, to The
00:41:10
US because at that time,
00:41:12
the agribusiness of Mexico considered that they were
00:41:15
competing
00:41:17
with the agribusiness in California and in the
00:41:19
Southwest
00:41:20
for labor,
00:41:21
and they did not want their labor
00:41:24
coming up to The United States and harvesting
00:41:26
our crops when they could be in Mexico
00:41:28
harvesting
00:41:30
their crops.
00:41:32
We had a,
00:41:34
a legal guest worker program called the Bracero
00:41:37
program,
00:41:38
but,
00:41:40
it was bureaucratic,
00:41:42
and it,
00:41:43
a lot of the farmers didn't like it.
00:41:46
And so they were all for bringing people
00:41:48
across as illegals
00:41:50
back then, but Mexico didn't like it. Mexico
00:41:54
sent 5
00:41:55
troops to the border
00:41:58
to keep more
00:42:00
Mexicans from leaving the country. And and this
00:42:02
is not something, you know, like Trump demanded
00:42:04
Mexico bring troops up to the border to
00:42:06
stop these migrants.
00:42:07
This is not something Eisenhower demanded.
00:42:10
They were demanding that Eisenhower do something about
00:42:13
this problem, and they sent their troops to
00:42:15
the border to try to stop it on
00:42:16
their side.
00:42:18
This was strictly a competition between US and
00:42:21
Mexican agribusiness.
00:42:23
So looking at Ike's operation wetback, there were
00:42:26
only 250
00:42:28
removals
00:42:29
credited to the program,
00:42:31
only 750
00:42:32
agents involved, far less, and there was in
00:42:34
Minneapolis.
00:42:36
But the Mexican government still was unhappy because
00:42:38
the amount of illegal aliens was actually ramping
00:42:41
up.
00:42:42
Truman had removed 1
00:42:44
aliens the last two years of his administration.
00:42:47
You never hear that. Ike raised it to
00:42:50
2 in the first couple of years, but
00:42:53
not a lot of it was to the
00:42:54
credit of this operation wetback, this great operation
00:42:57
we hear about all the time. And then
00:42:59
he drops deportations to practically nothing the last
00:43:03
five years of its administration
00:43:05
with, again, illegal a, illegal immigration
00:43:09
rising.
00:43:10
So you have, on one hand,
00:43:12
millions of illegal aliens in the country, and
00:43:14
Eisenhower wants to bring more aliens into the
00:43:17
country.
00:43:18
You have an act that passed with over
00:43:20
two thirds of the support of the senate
00:43:22
just before Eisenhower took office
00:43:24
to make sure that communist don't come into
00:43:26
the country, to make sure that the ethnic
00:43:28
balance in this country I mean, they didn't,
00:43:30
prevent Asians from coming in. They didn't prevent
00:43:33
any one people from coming in. They just
00:43:35
had to be in a balance
00:43:37
that that was struck in this country at
00:43:39
that time
00:43:41
so they could assimilate.
00:43:43
That was the idea.
00:43:45
Not millions and millions and millions and millions
00:43:47
of people from the third world bringing the
00:43:49
third world to our country and making our
00:43:51
country the third world.
00:43:52
But Eisenhower is the first one that pushed
00:43:55
back heavily against this. And just like he
00:43:58
did in the Bricker Amendment, just like he
00:44:00
did initially with Joe McCarthy, just like he
00:44:02
did with the Reese Committee,
00:44:04
he's in the weeds.
00:44:06
He's letting other people do his work, but
00:44:08
he is pushing
00:44:10
it. And in the American Mercury
00:44:12
magazine in 1957
00:44:14
and all kinds of publications,
00:44:17
people are exposing the fact that it's the
00:44:19
White House
00:44:20
that is pushing
00:44:23
to open up immigration
00:44:24
wide open, which they don't they don't ever
00:44:26
do it. It's not successful
00:44:28
until the immigration act of 1965.
00:44:31
And Emanuel Seller, who was mentioned in this
00:44:33
article I was just reading,
00:44:35
was it was one of the prime was
00:44:37
was the prime sponsor in the house
00:44:40
of this bill.
00:44:42
But Eisenhower was terrible
00:44:44
on immigration. He was terrible on immigration. He
00:44:47
was terrible on national security.
00:44:50
Everybody thinks, oh, he was so wonderful
00:44:53
in these areas. Oh, he was a general
00:44:55
and and, you know, everything was supposed to
00:44:57
be so great in the fifties. And the
00:44:59
fifties was a great time in this country,
00:45:01
folks.
00:45:02
And and we couldn't have had a president
00:45:04
like FDR or Harry Truman. The country would
00:45:06
not have stood for it.
00:45:08
The country was definitely,
00:45:10
evolving into a center right
00:45:13
country.
00:45:14
You had nearly half the Democrats in the
00:45:16
house and the senate
00:45:17
were southern Democrats
00:45:19
that were conservative, that didn't want any more
00:45:22
New Deal, didn't want any more
00:45:24
of the Fabian socialist programming,
00:45:27
and were strict anti communist. And then you
00:45:30
had over half of the Republicans
00:45:32
in the Midwest primarily, in the Mountain West,
00:45:35
in places like,
00:45:37
in places like, New Hampshire
00:45:39
and in other states
00:45:41
where,
00:45:42
they were also of the same mind.
00:45:45
And so they were divided by party, but
00:45:47
they they they created a majority. They stopped
00:45:49
the new deal. The new deal really stopped
00:45:51
in 1938
00:45:52
because of this coalition,
00:45:54
and this coalition generally continued in politics.
00:45:57
So the country was getting more conservative and
00:46:00
was very anti communist,
00:46:02
and and nobody to the left of Ike
00:46:04
could possibly have gotten elected.
00:46:07
But because he was a general,
00:46:09
because he won a war,
00:46:11
because he talked a good game,
00:46:13
and it was fine putting in God We
00:46:15
Trust on our money and changing the pledge
00:46:17
of allegiance and all these other things. He
00:46:20
never interfered with that kind of symbolic stuff.
00:46:23
So
00:46:24
the public, was thirsting for faith,
00:46:27
returning to Christ
00:46:29
was becoming more conservative,
00:46:31
and the fifties were a wonderful time, but
00:46:33
they're that's not because
00:46:36
of Dwight David Eisenhower. It is in spite.
00:46:39
He did everything he could
00:46:42
to continue to promote
00:46:45
the big government agenda at home
00:46:48
and the internationalist
00:46:50
agenda
00:46:51
overseas.
00:46:54
People wanted the federal government to get more
00:46:57
social engineering from
00:46:59
Columbia University
00:47:01
where Eisenhower was the president,
00:47:03
from the Carnegie Endowment where Eisenhower was on
00:47:06
the board, and from other organizations like that
00:47:09
to get more of that kind of curriculum
00:47:11
in the public schools.
00:47:12
But there was a lot of objection to
00:47:14
it at the local level. People were figuring
00:47:16
out what was going on in our education
00:47:18
system and had been going on
00:47:21
since,
00:47:22
you know, the nineteen teens.
00:47:25
And,
00:47:26
so I Eisenhower
00:47:27
created a new cabinet position that,
00:47:30
how,
00:47:31
department of health, education, and welfare.
00:47:34
So he could get the feds more involved
00:47:36
in all three of those areas.
00:47:39
That is an expansion of government. I said
00:47:41
he generally didn't expand government. I mean, he
00:47:43
didn't do anything like Johnson. He didn't do
00:47:45
anything
00:47:46
like Roosevelt. He didn't do what Truman tried
00:47:48
to do and what Kennedy tried to do.
00:47:50
But Eisenhower made a pretty large expansion of
00:47:54
government
00:47:54
when he created the Department of Health Education
00:47:57
and Welfare, and that was the beginning of
00:47:58
the bureaucratic
00:48:00
overlordship
00:48:02
from the federal level over your
00:48:04
public schools and over your elected school board
00:48:07
members.
00:48:09
He revved up public housing, which was a
00:48:11
disaster. They built these huge
00:48:14
public housing projects that looked like they were
00:48:16
designed in East Germany
00:48:18
that all became crime dens and were led
00:48:20
directly,
00:48:22
to the, assault on the black family, which
00:48:25
caused the crime rates in that community to
00:48:27
go to skyrocket.
00:48:29
And,
00:48:30
and, you know, some of these,
00:48:32
there's a a picture of this one,
00:48:35
a housing project that they blew up in
00:48:37
the nineteen sixties. It was such a crime
00:48:39
den, such a disaster. They literally exploded the
00:48:42
thing. It was, like, 10 stories high.
00:48:45
I've got a picture of it. I didn't,
00:48:47
I didn't prepare to show the screen there
00:48:49
for the rumble folks. But, anyway,
00:48:52
Ike, terrible on public housing, terrible
00:48:55
on, federal aid education,
00:48:58
and terrible
00:48:59
on
00:49:00
immigration.
