It’s great to be able to talk about a movie actually shown at movie theaters across America that is at least somewhat conservative and anti-communist. Such a film is Reagan starring Dennis Quaid and John Voight. The film was written by Paul Kengor, a legitimate anti-communist author who wrote Dupes.
It is impossible for a movie to capture the complexities involved with a life and career like Reagan’s. I do not agree with the overarching assessment that the Cold War was “won,” by Reagan or anyone else, a controversial sentiment I briefly explain in this episode. I give some background concerning John Birch Society leader Congressman Larry McDonald, who was a passenger on a commercial airliner KAL-007, shot down by the Soviets during Reagan’s tenure.
The gulf between the critics and the audience on Rotten Tomatoes (audience 90+%, Critics, 20% or so) says it all about our elites. I am completely for promoting anticommunist, pro-conservative films and despite any other deficiencies I could identify, this movie qualifies. So go see it, its still in many theaters, or rent it.

[00:00:00] [SPEAKER_00]: America is in an hour of decision.
[00:00:03] [SPEAKER_00]: That's true for moms with school kids, for politicians, and for all people with traditional values,
[00:00:11] [SPEAKER_00]: all of whom are affected by the endless wars, the deindustrialization of America,
[00:00:18] [SPEAKER_00]: and the collapse of its borders. So are you willing to speak up? Are you going to run?
[00:00:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Or will you fight? The great replacement is well underway. An enemy is among us,
[00:00:34] [SPEAKER_00]: replacing our love of country, our values, our heroes, and our freedoms. This kitschers evil
[00:00:42] [SPEAKER_00]: will replace our entire civilization and the descendants of the people who created it,
[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_00]: if we let them. Is it too late? The American spirit still lives, so the answer is no. America can
[00:01:00] [SPEAKER_00]: still become the new Jerusalem of endless possibilities and boundless creativity,
[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_00]: inspired by heroes of the past. Our forefathers' struggle for freedom seemed hopeless,
[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_00]: but they were blessed by God. We will be too, if like them, we choose to fight.
[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_00]: But it is midnight in America and this is the hour of decision.
[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_00]: My name is Lou Moore. Tonight we're going to talk about going to the movies.
[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_00]: That might seem a little incongruous after what I just read to you,
[00:01:42] [SPEAKER_00]: but actually if you remember my podcast about direct action, about doing something,
[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_00]: rather than just talking, one of the things I suggested is that you make sure that you and
[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_00]: the family have a little time to have some fun, to get out, but also to support
[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_00]: patriots in music, in the arts, and making movies. And there seems to be a few of them now.
[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Pretty amazing. So tonight we're going to talk about one of those movies, the movie Reagan.
[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_00]: The establishment evidently was able to delay the release of the new movie Reagan
[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_00]: for over two years. Their punishment for this typical left-wing,
[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_00]: wholly weird censorship behavior was the release of this pro-Reagan film in the heat of the
[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_00]: presidential election of 2024. Another aspect of the establishment versus the people drama
[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_00]: is simmering on the movie review website Rotten Tomatoes, which features one rating by
[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_00]: the expert critics and the other one produced by the movie goers who watched the film in question.
[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_00]: In this case, we have the whitest gulf ever, ever registered on Rotten Tomatoes between the
[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Uber Left critics and the public. The critics are rating the film somewhere around a lowly 20%
[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_00]: approval while the public is registering a whopping 98% approval.
[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_00]: The film is written by Paul Kengor, a credible anti-communist conservative. He authored the book
[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Dupes, which is about the communists and sympathizers in the government and the film industry,
[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_00]: among other places, in a bygone era. The communist Dupes in Kengor's books,
[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_00]: a book, excuse me, where likely the grandparents or the parents
[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_00]: of many of these professional critics we just mentioned who are giving the Reagan film the
[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_00]: terrible rating, that rating from the experts. Well, there's plenty of star power in this
[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_00]: movie starting with Dennis Quaid, as Ronald Reagan and John Voight as a retired KGB agent
[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_00]: who explains to a young Putin type why the former president kicked their butt
[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_00]: in the supposed end of the Cold War. But this, in fact, is the center of the story told here,
[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Reagan's confrontation with the former USSR. But before we see our hero growing up,
[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_00]: before that, excuse me, we see our hero Ronald Reagan growing up in a small Midwestern town
[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_00]: inculcated with Christian values by his pious mother. We see his unsuccessful marriage to the
[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_00]: worldly actor as Jane Wyman and his transition from a B or maybe a B plus actor to the presidency
[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_00]: of the Screen Actors Guild, which is kind of the union for the actors and actresses,
[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_00]: although we're not supposed to say that. We're just supposed to say actors now,
[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_00]: in Hollywood. Ronald Reagan's time as an entertainment union president in Hollywood
[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_00]: affords us a peek into the big fight going on throughout America against the domestic
[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_00]: communist menace at the end of World War II, which was frequently behind communist strikes,
[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_00]: including in Hollywood. Actors, directors, etc., who whined about being singled out
[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_00]: as Stalinist supporting dupes or as communists were happy to participate in an entertainment
[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_00]: industry culture that then and now routinely destroys the careers of conservatives,
[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_00]: of Christians, of patriots. Just ask Jim Caviesel. Just ask Jim Caviesel, who was the lead star,
[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_00]: a rising star having a meteoric rise in Hollywood, who was the central figure,
[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_00]: the star of the movie The Passion of the Christ, which ladies and gentlemen is the largest grossing
[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_00]: film ever. Well after that movie was made, which the certain anti-Christ forces in Hollywood,
[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_00]: which basically is Hollywood, boycotted him, prevented him from even getting a role for years
[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_00]: after he did this tremendously successful movie. Yeah, these people whining you might have seen
[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_00]: the movie I believe there is a movie there certainly a narrative about the Hollywood 10,
[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_00]: the poor Hollywood 10. These people who were supporting Joseph Stalin, who were actors and
[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_00]: screenwriters, who were supposedly boycotted by the evil and mean spirited owners of movie studios
[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_00]: in Hollywood. But folks you know the details are a little bit different in every one of their cases
[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_00]: they're all different, they're all human, but it pales in the compare and comparison with
[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_00]: the ongoing current blackballing of conservatives, of Christians in the non-Christian
[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Hollywood culture and Hollywood movie industry. I wish the film would have included a sample
[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_00]: now going back to the strike that Ronald Reagan had to deal with as president of
[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_00]: the Screed Actors Guild. I wish the film would have included a sample of the many phone calls that
[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_00]: actor and later John Birch Society member, John Wayne made to Nancy Reagan to cheer her up
[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_00]: after the most recent press smear attack on her anti-communist husband. Ladies and gentlemen,
[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_00]: the newspapers in Los Angeles, just like the presses today actually the corporate
[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_00]: mainstream press were constantly attacking Reagan because he was standing up to the communists.
[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_00]: The love story with wife Nancy in the movie is given full flower. The film then rather quickly
[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_00]: moves on to Reagan's beginnings in the GOP and conservative politics and alludes to and has a
[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_00]: scene involving the speech. The speech was of course Ronald Reagan's televised 30 minute
[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_00]: last-minute plea for the Barry Goldwater campaign in 1964 which was entitled
[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_00]: rendezvous with destiny. I talk about the speech in my Goldwater episode and I again demand
[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_00]: that you watch it on Rumble or YouTube. I'm sure you can pull it up in just a minute.
[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Ronald Reagan's speech rendezvous with destiny, it runs about 28 minutes. 1964 folks,
[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_00]: same issues we're dealing with today, the same situation in 1964. So in the film,
[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Reagan is shown with which was in real life a group that was called his kitchen cabinet
[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_00]: of well-healed Southern California businessman who financed his successful run for governor
[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_00]: of California. So just to keep the timeline straight here, Ronald Reagan was in the screen
[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_00]: actors guild. He became the president of the screen actors guild then years later he got
[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_00]: involved in Barry Goldwater's campaign in 1964, went all over speaking and campaigning for Goldwater
[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_00]: and then made this speech which was carried on national evening television. The Goldwater
[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_00]: campaign bought 30 minutes of prime time in the era where there was just the three networks,
[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_00]: ABC, NBC and CBS and they bought time I believe on all three of these networks. One of them for sure
[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_00]: it was carried in prime time 30 minute speech promoting Goldwater's campaign. So
[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_00]: that happened and then after that immediately, Reagan decided to run for governor of California
[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_00]: two years later in 1966. So he's shown in the movie here with some of his backers, some of his
[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_00]: financial backers who helped him run for and then become the governor of California.
[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't really like how the scene makes it seem like Reagan is suddenly appearing in the
[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Goldwater campaign just to vault himself into the political arena himself. Didn't happen
[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_00]: that way folks. The truth was that Reagan was a mainstay at conservative and anti-communist
[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_00]: rallies particularly some of the huge, we're talking 20 30 thousand people attending rallies
[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_00]: at the Hollywood Bowl in Orange County and in other places in California that had been taking
[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_00]: place for years. This is the emergence folks of the John Birch Society. This is the emergence
[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_00]: of Cleon Scousen's book The Naked Communist. This is the big wave, this big wave of anti-communist
[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_00]: pro-american, pro free enterprise nationalist fervor that culminated in the Goldwater movement
[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_00]: and the Goldwater campaign of 64 which I talk about a lot because I do a whole podcast on
[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_00]: the Goldwater campaign of 64. So Reagan was a mainstay for several years in this movement
[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_00]: and it's actually kind of funny they show him doorbelling which is a little bit in Congress.
[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how much doorbelling Ronald Reagan actually did but they show him doorbelling as
[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_00]: he's running for governor of California in the 1966 campaign and he goes hello my name's Ronald
[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Reagan and the gal goes dear, dear Roy Rogers is at the door which is kind of funny but in fact I have
[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_00]: a photo of Reagan at an anti-communist rally in 1961 in Orange County with none other than Roy
[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Rogers so there you go. Anyway he also a lot of people don't know this a lot of people don't
[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_00]: really know the history of Reagan we're going to do a whole podcast on this folks it just
[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_00]: one or two on Ronald Reagan and his place in the conservative firmament and his place as a
[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_00]: president of the United States of America but after he was president of the screen actors
[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_00]: guild and after he really struggled himself with his career after taking a firm stand
[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_00]: against the communists as the president of the screen actors guild he got a gig with
[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_00]: General Electric GE to go around the country and go around all the big plants they had at the time in
[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_00]: California to speak about the American system to speak about the free enterprise system now GE
[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_00]: has a checkered past to say the least but you know I don't always know myself how to explain
[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_00]: all these things but there was an executive at GE by the name of Leonard Bollware B O U L W A
[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_00]: if I remember correctly actually don't have that in front of me and he was a vice president
[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_00]: he was high up yeah he wasn't the head of GE but he was a senior executive at GE
[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_00]: who was a militant anti-communist and free enterprise advocate best we can tell and it was
[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Bollware that brought Ronald Reagan in to speak to workers in the factory and they loved him
[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_00]: they loved hearing Ronald Reagan speak and Reagan did so much of this speaking he became
[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_00]: really really good at speaking and that's why they called him later the great communicator and
[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_00]: possibly the very the greatest communicator of the conservative message at least the message
[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_00]: that was given to the public in the early 1960s which is still a whole lot of my belief system
[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_00]: and not entirely that might say not even close but hey I'm a little torn on that one but Reagan
[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_00]: a great articulator of the free enterprise system of freedom of the constitution and of
[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_00]: confronting communism just as Barry Goldwater did just as he believed Reagan was totally
[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_00]: against the establishment consensus of the time that I talk about in several podcasts the Fabrian
[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_00]: socios socialist consensus that was a mainstay of the leadership of both republican parties
[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_00]: really limiting the debate in the presidential elections of several cycles that consensus
[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_00]: that we believed in larger government ever bigger government at home using government to solve more
[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_00]: and more of our problems and being opposed to communism overseas but being against confronting
[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_00]: communism just trying to contain communism was supposed to be the right answer the whole
[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_00]: doctrine of containment which if you listen to any number of my podcasts you know I absolutely
[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_00]: hate the doctrine of containment it came from the pit of hell and it was used by the Fabian
[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_00]: socialists in control of our country to pretend like they were anti-communist without doing
[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_00]: anything about communism so like Goldwater Reagan was an opponent of this idea of
[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_00]: containment and of course that's going to play out here as we continue so he was making
[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_00]: these speeches for GE and then he started transitioning into very much more political
[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_00]: speech making and speaking before large rallies which were going on all over particularly all
[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_00]: over California over the issues of the UN world government and a freedom of censorship
[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_00]: of what they did to Joe McCarthy all of these things that you know led eventually to the
[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_00]: MAGA movement and to the campaign of Donald Trump so Reagan was very involved in that
[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_00]: and so then in the film I wandered away from the film a little bit haven't I but anyway so
[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_00]: you know they show they show him speaking a little bit you know with the GE folk and
[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_00]: then they show him becoming governor of California and then his struggle to win the White House
[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_00]: which he ran briefly in 1968 that was a last-minute effort a stop Nixon type of effort
[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_00]: that was unsuccessful we'll go over that when I do my podcast on Reagan but he went to the wall
[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_00]: in 1976 against Gerald Ford came up short in 1976 full court press by the establishment
[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_00]: to keep Reagan out and then of course as we know after a sputtering start when he got rid of his
[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_00]: moderate internationalist campaign manager John Sears in 1980 he then won and became our president
[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_00]: so you know not long after he became president there was an attempt on Reagan's life
[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_00]: which was depicted in the movie and then there was a little veiled reference to George Bush
[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_00]: alter eco James Ego excuse me James Baker the third a bush guy assuming the role of chief
[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_00]: of staff at the White House for Reagan and as I've already mentioned in a couple of my podcasts
[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_00]: and we'll talk about this quite a bit more the bush people basically the entire term of
[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Ronald Reagan were pushing out the loyal Reagan people and then when Bush was elected he ruthlessly
[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_00]: got rid of all the rest of them and any and any senior positions and staffing is very important
[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_00]: as we've talked about before personnel is policy but Bush has only mentioned very briefly himself
[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_00]: in this show but we do get into the Iran-Contra situation and the war against
[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_00]: the Sandinistas and Nicaragua it's covered in some length so despite a full blown incursion
[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_00]: on the part of the USSR into our hemisphere into Nicaragua through the Sandinistas
[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_00]: the Democrats in Congress absolutely refused to spend any resources on fighting it
[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_00]: forcing Reagan to come up with creative alternatives to fund the Nicaraguan resistance
[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_00]: known as the Contras and what we're going to talk about at length in a couple of episodes
[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_00]: we're going to talk about this with Reagan but I'm going to do a whole episode folks on who is the
[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_00]: ones who are the ones promoting getting drugs pushing drugs into the United States the left-wing
[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_00]: narrative the former USSR narrative the communist Chinese narrative and unfortunately the narrative
[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_00]: now of too many patriots who have been sucked into all of this anti CIA propaganda there is some real
[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_00]: problems with the CIA but this basically communist propaganda that it was the CIA that was behind
[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_00]: all of the drugs and that's how the cartels got started and blah blah blah it's not only a lot
[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_00]: more complicated than that folks basically if you're going to point the finger at one element
[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_00]: that brought drugs to America you need to be looking at the communist chow an lie was bragging
[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_00]: about this to Henry Kissinger when they were preparing for Nixon to go over there this is
[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_00]: it's a stone cold fact folks it's not refutable and again just like with the Kennedy assassination
[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_00]: oh no you're just a fool if you thought the communists did it was our own evil government
[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_00]: did it was all these evil people in America and again another complicated situation but this idea
[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_00]: that oh the communists didn't really do anything wrong you know this one book now what's a two volume
[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_00]: set what is the name I gotta turn it around in my library here and actually don't see those
[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_00]: two books right now I'll get back to them because they have this whole narrative about all this
[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_00]: chicanery and all this evil doing and wrong thinking on the part of the business establishment in
[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_00]: America and all these Jewish liquor barons and all these other people there's not a word about
[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_00]: the communists in this whole book maybe there's a little problem with that narrative anyhow so
[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna put a I'm gonna put a little marker right there and this whole question of who was
[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_00]: funding the Contras you know the cocaine there was cocaine coming into the Mina airport
[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Bill Clinton was involved with it no doubt in my mind but the the base origin you look at the
[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Medellin cartel you look at the other big cartel they had down there in Colombia and you move up
[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_00]: to the Sinaloa cartel when the when the center of gravity of these cartels moved to Mexico
[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_00]: there's communists all over this thing folks just gonna tell you right now anyhow there's a
[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_00]: little bit of a depiction in there of you know Reagan dealing with that trying to fund an anti
[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_00]: communist resistance which was successful for a while in Nicaragua unfortunately the Sandinistas
[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_00]: are again in power Daniel Ortega he doesn't call himself a sandinista anymore but he's still
[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_00]: as red as they get but rakin fought communism he really did he really tried to fix a lot of big
[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_00]: big problems our establishment brought to our door as the American people and we've had to suffer for
[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_00]: so that was mentioned there was another incident in that movie the downing of KAL 007 which was
[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_00]: a commercial flight to Seoul South Korea from the United States which was shot down by a soviet
[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_00]: missile that caused a little bit of a problem because diplomatically because among other things
[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_00]: there was a sitting congressman a united states congressman on-flight uh KAL 007
[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_00]: his name was Larry McDonald a democrat but a very conservative and constitutionalist democrat
[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_00]: from the state of Georgia Larry McDonald to say the least was not just another
[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Washington DC politician i'm gonna identify him right now folks as one of my heroes Larry
[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_00]: McDonald was a great great american and he was at the time he had just been put in place three
[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_00]: months before this flight before this flight was shot down and he either died or was disappeared into
[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_00]: the soviet gulag system he was the chairman of the john burt society which i've also mentioned
[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_00]: on a few podcasts i just mentioned them a minute ago the birchers a militant anti communist and
[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_00]: anti soviet at that time organization in the united states and they're still around
[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_00]: and i like them so possibly of more importance than mcdonald's leadership in the john burt society
[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_00]: was his leadership in another organization called the western goals foundation and the
[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_00]: purpose of the western goals foundation was to recover and save in as many cases as possible
[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_00]: government files on domestic communist after taking out senator joe mccarthy's
[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_00]: after excuse me after they took out senator joe mccarthy communist friendly members of congress
[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_00]: launched an all-out war against both the house on american activities committee also called huac
[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_00]: and the senate internal security committee as well as any investigations from other senate
[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_00]: committees like mccarthy's the oversight committee in the senate and at the same time
[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_00]: this attack was occurring and this attack eventually was successful folks they shut these
[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_00]: they shut these investigations down at the same time leftists now taking over every big city
[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_00]: government around the country and leftists going farther and farther to the left and more and
[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_00]: more under the thrall of the communists were destroying and closing police agencies that
[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_00]: used to call red squads which were groups of law enforcement people in the cities that were keeping
[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_00]: tabs on subversives within their city limits and keeping extensive files on communist and
[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_00]: communist adjacent agitators within their cities so these files were being destroyed all these
[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_00]: paper trails leading leading to the thousands of communists that were embedded in our society

[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_00]: this nation we've got a return power to the people at the local level it's the best way to defend
[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_00]: ourselves against those nasty powers that be so you could hear the path to state and local sovereignty
[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_00]: on news for america at news for america dot org so with the post watergate
[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_00]: atmosphere in america of distrust of government and the church committee investigations
[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_00]: by the way folks i am not a fan of frank church in any regard his chief of staff
[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_00]: was a communist verna here bernard christensen i remember her name now but she ultra left winger
[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_00]: and church right there with her this was an earlier day in idon not not like the
[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_00]: people there generally electing now now they're electing rhinos then they were electing
[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_00]: straight up ultra lefties but the church committee hearings create an atmosphere where the
[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_00]: pro-communist in america started pushing very hard you know they were attacking the cia
[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_00]: going after the fbi and cia and all that but they that's when the push really became very
[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_00]: hard to get rid of the house america house on american activities committee and the senate
[00:29:54] [SPEAKER_00]: internal security committee the two principal vehicles to investigate the left and to investigate
[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_00]: communist activities within the borders of the united states and this push led also to the
[00:30:10] [SPEAKER_00]: destruction of evidence involving thousands of suspects as i just mentioned on these red
[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_00]: squads and western goals lorry mcdonald's group western goals worked very closely with anti-communist
[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_00]: in the reagan administration to fill the void left by the end essentially effectively the end of
[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_00]: communist investigations and to save the files that had been accumulated from these investigations
[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_00]: this was the extremely important work mcdonald was involved with when he was killed by the soviet
[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_00]: communists both the long-term educational mission of the john burt society education being the
[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_00]: principal activity of the burt society and by the way folks they have been right about just
[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_00]: about everything and this more immediate task that mcdonald was involved with a protecting intelligence
[00:31:13] [SPEAKER_00]: files vital to the effort to defeat domestic communism made mcdonald an understandable target
[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_00]: of the communists of the world communist movement so mcdonald without question was an asset of the
[00:31:29] [SPEAKER_00]: administration of the reagan administration in their war against the soviets and the soviets
[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_00]: because of that directly took him out of that war took mcdonald out so i will now state something
[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_00]: very controversial about reagan reagan's efforts and the reagan administration
[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_00]: from the right there's been this celebration of course i mean what we're talking now
[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_00]: 30 years over 30 years but this celebration of the defeat of communism by reagan and the
[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_00]: quote end of the cold war unquote didn't happen folks just flat out did not happen
[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_00]: yes the ussr the union of soviet socialist republics dissolved had kgb assets and operatives
[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_00]: took over virtually every one of the former sub former soviet republics in short order
[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_00]: and they took over russia in the form of spy master gladamere putin essentially the kgb just
[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_00]: replaced the communist party itself as a ruling force over both russia and to a large degree
[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_00]: russia's sphere of influence its former republics in the gop the reagan celebration of the end
[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_00]: of the cold war was attributed and attributed in the corporate media to reagan's aggressive
[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_00]: buildup of the u.s. military a very expensive buildup and that the ussr realized oh they just
[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_00]: wouldn't be able to keep up suddenly they realize this this argument is only partially true at best
[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_00]: the truth is reagan through his national security advisor richard alland and through
[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_00]: renal robinson who worked for richard alland cut off all the economic largesse the ussr was receiving
[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_00]: from both the u.s. government if you can believe it folks finance critics and from corporate america
[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_00]: so we're talking primarily credits capital for the ussr and technology transfers
[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_00]: galitzen as i stated in my podcast on the phabians and the let me start over with that sentence
[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_00]: as i stated in my podcast on the phabians and on the one i did on vietnam big us corporations
[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_00]: have propped up and strengthened the ussr communists from the time of lenin it's an
[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_00]: unbroken line folks of support coming from our corporate masters to the communists in russia
[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_00]: these efforts choked off resources to the evil empire these efforts of ronald reagan's administration
[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_00]: and forced the communists running that administration in moscow to go to a plant b so to speak
[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_00]: it's described in detail by a book by and now i will say his name anatoly galitzen a defector
[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_00]: the book was called new lies for old galitzen a highly placed soviet intelligence officer
[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_00]: wrote a book after he defected to the united states called new lies for old
[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_00]: old and what he stated in this book was that they had a plan to dissolve the soviet union a mass
[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_00]: deception and create a different type of entity to continue their efforts at world
[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_00]: domination and the most interesting thing about this book folks is it was written
[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_00]: and published several years before this plan was essentially put into place i read this book
[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_00]: in i think 1985 and we're talking 1989 1990 before we saw the quote unquote ball of the
[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_00]: soviet union and this is a topic that could take many podcasts but there are more than a
[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_00]: few writers that are onto this onto what happened in russia and they're onto putin folks and not a
[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_00]: fan of putin not a fan of russia under putin and they've worked with the chinese unbroken chain
[00:36:24] [SPEAKER_00]: of an alliance with the chinese despite what you've heard about that topic and of course that
[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_00]: continues in earnest to this day but those efforts were triggered by reagan his military
[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_00]: built up a small factor but the primary factor was cutting off the money to where the ussr couldn't
[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_00]: function because they've always been a tool ultimately in the big big picture of our corporate masters
[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_00]: and so this is the backstory and the backdrop and it's why a cold war wasn't over when the ussr fell
[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_00]: so but but the convenience now i want to talk about the convenience and we'll get back to this
[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_00]: topic in earnest in more than a few podcasts i'm going to link to this book new lies for old if
[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_00]: you want to check it out or yourself by anatoly go let's in but there was a great amount of convenience
[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_00]: on our side not just saying that the cold war was over i was very convenient for the republicans
[00:37:33] [SPEAKER_00]: yay republicans we crushed the soviet union we won total victory i mean there was reasons for
[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_00]: some people that want to say that but in a little bit bigger picture there's a reason to say
[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_00]: that it was the military build up the military build up the big infusion of cash into our military
[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_00]: industrial complex to use that narrative to explain why there was the collapse of the soviet
[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_00]: union and the first reason for using that was that it hides the role of us big business
[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_00]: in working with moskow and by the way richard allen the national security advisor who worked this for
[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_00]: reagan who broke the code on this who figured out duh cut off their money and they're not
[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_00]: going to be able to continue operating as they have been uh he was pushed out as james baker
[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_00]: the third and other bush elements gained more and more power in the reagan administration
[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_00]: so he was pushed out folks before the reagan administration ended he was one of the real heroes
[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_00]: of this whole situation but so it hides the role of us big business to say it was a military build
[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_00]: up rather than it was big business working with moskow that uh ended that was disrupted it
[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_00]: didn't hand that it was disrupted and that was the principal reason uh touting the military
[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_00]: build up as an explanation tout spending a lot of money on our military and on military contractors
[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_00]: as the way to accomplish big things and foreign policy and number three most of all using this
[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_00]: military build up argument hides the fact that as i said reagan pressured the ussr to dissolve
[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_00]: but russia and the nations within the ussr were soon with only a couple of exceptions
[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_00]: in the hands of former quote unquote communists or kgb assets there was no accountability for
[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_00]: russian tyranny there was no trials like they had at the end of world war two with germany all of the
[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_00]: murders that were committed the slaughters the katan forest slaughter of 10 000 polish officers
[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_00]: what happened in the ukraine millions of people starved to death i mean there's one holocaust if
[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_00]: we're going to use that term after another perpetrated by the russian communists and
[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_00]: perpetrated by uh peoples and other countries that were put into power and powered by the russian
[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_00]: and soviet communists no accountability for this folks we just go right on working with basically
[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_00]: the same people there was no accountability for russian tyranny and their nefarious activities
[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_00]: including with china they continued so now back to the movie despite the deficiencies the movie
[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_00]: overall is a very good thing why anytime we see anything from hollywood standing up for conservatives
[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_00]: employing conservatives and portraying in any degree the evils of communism that is a good thing
[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_00]: that's off to denis quaid who left a life of hollywood cocaine and degeneracy behind to become
[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_00]: a christian and it would seem a patriot and i believe reagan did his best and again i'm
[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_00]: going to talk a lot more about reagan i'm not one of these far right wing extremists and we're
[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_00]: bashing reagan all the time uh far from it but i'm going to leave it there for now to be picked up
[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_00]: with a whole podcast or two or three on ronald reagan so i'm advising you to see this film if
[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_00]: you haven't already seen it but just see it with the understanding that first of all a movie
[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_00]: is not the medium to explain the complexities of things in politics particularly not the complexity
[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_00]: of the topics related to reagan's career so go see it if you can or watch it at home it's still
[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_00]: playing at least around here it's still playing and i was back east a few days ago it was playing
[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_00]: in the town i was in back there so i believe it's going to be around for at least a few more
[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_00]: days at the theater and i think it's a good idea to go to the theater if you're able and willing to
[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_00]: do that to show support and continue our access to theaters who are desperate to get the public
[00:42:33] [SPEAKER_00]: that doesn't like all the creepy scummy degenerate content coming out of mainline hollywood those
[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_00]: people to get them you know in the theater so anyway so that's the movie reagan it's midnight in america
[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_00]: and this is indeed the hour of decision my name is lou more hour of decision is a podcast
[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_00]: that can be found and now uh this is episode i believe 47 in this podcast series our decision
[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_00]: can be found at news for america at news for america dot org that's news for america dot org and we have
