Long Before the City of Boston Became A Haven for Illegal Alien Criminals, the City Encouraged Assimilation

 

The once great City of Boston is run by far-left, America hating Democrats.  It is a so-called “sanctuary city” for violent illegal alien criminals and its mayor and police chief refuse to work with I.C.E. officials when it comes to the most violent of the illegal aliens.  But it wasn’t always that way.  While we have to go back a long way to the 1920s, the City actually had a “Committee for Americanism” and published a book for legal aliens wanting to become U.S. citizens called A Little Book for Immigrants in Boston.

The Weekly Sam: Statement on President Trump’s Executive Order to Return Power Over Education to States and Local Communities

While I am not sure if those in Heaven are aware of what is happening here on Earth, but if they are, I am certain that our late friend and mentor Sam Blumenfeld is rejoicing over President Trump’s recent executive order defunding, with the goal of abolishing, the U.S. Department of Education.  I used to joke with Sam suggesting that if he became Secretary of the Department of Education, his first duty would be to obtain an auctioneer’s mallet. He then would sell the property owned by the unconstitutional department to the highest bidder, fire all of the employees, and resign.  Here is the news released issued by, we hope, the soon defunct department:

Secretary of Education Linda McMahon released the following statement following President Trump’s Executive Order to return education to the states:

“Today’s Executive Order is a history-making action by President Trump to free future generations of American students and forge opportunities for their success. We are sending education back to the states where it so rightly belongs.

“Education is fundamentally a state responsibility. Instead of filtering resources through layers of federal red tape, we will empower states to take charge and advocate for and implement what is best for students, families, and educators in their communities.

“Closing the Department does not mean cutting off funds from those who depend on them—we will continue to support K-12 students, students with special needs, college student borrowers, and others who rely on essential programs. We’re going to follow the law and eliminate the bureaucracy responsibly by working through Congress to ensure a lawful and orderly transition.

“With today’s action, we take a significant step forward to give parents and states control over their children’s education. Teachers will be unshackled from burdensome regulations and paperwork, empowering them to get back to teaching basic subjects. Taxpayers will no longer be burdened with tens of billions of dollars of waste on progressive social experiments and obsolete programs. K-12 and college students will be relieved of the drudgery caused by administrative burdens—and positioned to achieve success in a future career they love.”

This is a long time coming.  Ronald Reagan campaigned on abolishing the department only to see it grow under his administration.  The Department of Education is an unconstitutional entity that should never have been created.  I think that our late friend and mentor helped to make

 

I Testify: My Years as an F.B.I. Undercover Agent

 

Julia Brown spent nine years as an undercover agent for the F.B.I reporting on communist activity in the Greater Cleveland area.    In 1966, her book I Testify: My Years as an F.B.I. Undercover Agent was published.  She wrote that the Communist Party U.S.A. gave its members an order to support Martin Luther King, and that the party does not support anyone that it does not control.  Her book is out-of-print and listed on Amazon for $2,847.12. While I doubt few if anyone would pay that much, the book is an important expose on the late slain civil rights leader.  We have a PDF version of the book that we offer free-donations accepted.  For a copy, E-mail me at campconstitution1@gmail.com   Donations may be made via our PayPal account accessed from our website’s homepage  https://www.campconstitution.net

In 1976, a federal judge ordered the F.B.I’s file (not to be confused with the F.B.I.’s assassination file) on King sealed for 50 years. King’s supporters wanted the file destroyed.   It is scheduled to be released next year.  If the file is still intact, it will prove King’s communist activities, and his moral depravity.

The Weekly Sam: Libertarians for Life

This is a link to a pamphlet from Libertarians for Life that Sam had in his library:

http://blumenfeld.campconstitution.net/Other/Libertarians%20For%20Life.pdf

The Libertarian Party has long endorsed abortion as long as it isn’t taxpayer supported, but it always had a minority of members with strong moral convictions essential to a free society.   The party has also been a longtime supporter of so-called “same sex” marriage making the claim that governments should have no say in the institution.  This was a moral copout since the party had no campaign to get government out of marriage.  Party leaders thought that homosexuals would flock to the Libertarian Party’s ranks, but it never happened.  Instead, governments at all levels have been spending millions of dollars pushing the agenda of the totalitarian Alphabet Mafia, which uses the power of government to fire, fine, jail and generally make life miserable for those who don’t go along with its perverse agenda.

Debating a Liberal is as futile as putting talcum powder on a hog-But I sometimes still do it.

   While I agree with the late Tom Anderson who said with a distinct Southern drawl:  “Debating a liberal is as futile as putting talcum powder on a hog,” I occasionally do so.  Not that I think that my reason and logic will change the mind of a liberal, but to others who  may be reading or listening.  I recently had such a debate on a Facebook friend’s page:
John’s original post:
 If Maine is not the worst state in the United States, it is damn close to it!
Stephen (The “Liberal”)
 You want cheaper taxes? You old fart? Go live in a republican state! You will have a couple extra dollars in your pocket! But don’t ask for healthcare, education! Free rides to and from medical appointments! or meals on wheels! You will have to call trump for that kind of emotional support!!
Hal Shurtleff
Stephen:
 Free people don’t need “free rides” supplied by the government or inferior government healthcare or government schools that have become nothing more than far-left indoctrination centers.
 Stephen 
Hal Shurtleff:  the irony is!! it appears to me? that you’re the one that has been indoctrinated by the right!!!! and I hope you have plenty of money because when you hit 70 something years old, you can barely walk. Maybe you’re using a cane or a walker your kids are grown. Don’t call you!! because you’re right Wingnut job. You’re really going to appreciate things like Meals on Wheels! Because that’ll be the only contact you have with people!! if you have no money and nobody that cares about you.
Hal Shurtleff
 Stephen Thank you for your profound reply. Name calling always helps your case. You leftists are so brilliant.
Stephen 
 Hal Shurtleff:  if your idea of indoctrination is schools teaching things like? racial diversity, inclusion protect the environment! those kinds of things? Those issues seem pretty important to me and we should start young with our children so that their world is a better place to live when they’re older.
Hal Shurtleff
 Stephen:  Racial Diversity:  Hate whitey.  Inclusion:  All but conservative people of faith. Environment:  We are all going to burn up unless we give total power to the government.
Stephen
Hal Shurtleff do people who have no vehicle? need rides?
Hal Shurtleff
Stephen: Do you expect me to pay for your rides?
Stephen: 
Hal Shurtleff:  if you make enough money? Yes!!
Hal Shurtleff
Stephen:
 It works like this: Unscrupulous people promise to provide you free rides to the liquor store if you vote for them. They get elected and pass laws to buy an electric vehicle to take you and people like you to the liquor store. But in order to pay for the electric vehicle, maintain it, and hire people that will drive you and people like you, they need money. So, they pass laws forcing me and people like me whom you not only hate, but have been encouraging others to hate, to pay for all of this. The law is proposed and people who sell, build, and drive eclectic vehicles as well as those in the liquor industry lobby to pass the bill.
 The bill has a clause that reads “failure to pay the tax that takes Stephen and others like him to the liquor store is not only a felony but a hate crime.” When the elected officials discover that I refuse to pay the tax, they send out people with guns to arrest me or shoot me. You and people like you, get your free rides, and the unscrupulous people you voted for not only get reelected but pass other onerous laws. In a free market, a ride to the liquor store could have been provided to you for a small amount of money but now costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. You call it social justice. I call it communism.
Hal Shurtleff
 Stephen: Why is it right for people you hate to be forced to pay for your rides to the liquor store? And who determines if I make enough money? And how to you take this money from me?
Stephen:
 Hal Shurtleff:  who said the liquor store? I said doctors appointments. I never said liquor stores! And I never brought up Electric cars? You ok Hal? Little dementia kicking in?
Hal Shurtleff
Stephen:  Lefties have no sense of humor unless it is put down humor.
Hal Shurtleff
Stephen:  Good for you. More insults. That will show me. You can always ask Bernie Sanders for a ride. He is a multimillionaire. Or you can ask some local Maine socialists elected officials for a free ride. They know that they will be reelected. So, they don’t care about you, but you will still vote for them. They will be happy to voice solidarity with you, denounce the greedy doctors who must be MAGA, and Uber drivers and happily pass more restrictive laws to make practicing medicine and driving people more expensive. Or maybe you can ask some folks at the local church that have a ministry that takes people in need to their appointments. But don’t go to the churches with the Rainbow, Transgender and Black Lives Matter flags flying in front of them. Their members are far too busy lobbying governments to raise taxes, restrict free speech and do what their churches used to do before they went “woke.”
 Another option is taking the free market approach. There is a need, and the free market can meet that need. Your doctor could reach out to other physicians and maybe start a service to get patients who don’t drive to their appointments.  Or maybe organize a volunteer group to do it. But because you are a socialist at heart and hate people who don’t agree with your worldview, you choose to make nasty posts on Facebook.
Note:  I did not make any corrections to Stephen’s typos.

Russian Puppetry From Wilson to Obama-Biden

In the wake of President Zelensky’s disastrous visit to the White House, fake news outlets, Democrats and their Republican Neo-Con allies have regurgitated their ridiculous claim that Trump and his supporters are Putin’s Puppets” This false narrative began before Trump was elected and was proven to be a complete and total lie stemming from the fake Steele Dossier that Hillary Clinton purchased.  Obama used this discredited dossier to justify spying on the Trump campaign.

 

It was Hillary, and her boss Obama, which enabled Putin.  Hillary, as Secretary of State, facilitated the transfer of a percentage of our uranium to Putin. During a visit with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Obama was caught on a hot microphone saying that after the election he will have “more flexibility.”  Medvedev. said that he will relay the message to Putin.  Mitt Romney, who hates Trump more than most, said that Obama’s comments were “alarming and troubling.”  It was the harshest thing he said against Obama during his weak presidential campaign.    But he never called him “Putin’s Puppet.”

 

Long before Trump entered the political scene,100 years actually, forces in the United States including Wall Street financiers and both Republicans and Democrats have been involved in aiding and abetting the communists in Russia.  Leon Trotsky was living in exile in New York City prior to the Bolshevik Revolution.   In March of 1917, holding an American passport given to him by the Wilson Administration, and a large amount of money, Trotsky boarded a ship in New York Harbor to eventually join with Lenin.  The Canadians detained Trosky and seized the ship after learning that Trotsky was going to get Rusia out of the war. This would have freed up thousands of German soldiers to fight on the Western Front where many Canadians were serving.    When Wilson learned of Trotsky’s detainment, he demanded that the Canadians free Trotsky. The Canadians relented.  After the Bolsheviks seized power, Wall St. bankers, using the Red Cross as a cover, went to Russia with large sums of money to help finance the revolution.  The reign of terror under Lenin began.

After Lenin’s death, Stalin seized power and picked up where Lenin left off with a vengeance.   The U.S. under Franklin Roosevelt established diplomatic relations with Stalin’s Russia.  Roosevelt, despite overwhelming evidence of Stalin’s atrocities, had a political love affair with “Uncle Joe.”  Pro-Communists reporters like Walter Duranty of “The New York Times” send stories to their papers praising Stalin to the hilt while overlooking the forced famine in Ukraine which resulted in the deaths of millions of men, women, and children, as well as other atrocities.

During World War II, we not only sent Stalin millions of dollars’ worth of weapons, and supplies, we gave them materials that made it possible for Russia to be a nuclear power.  This treachery was made known to us by Major Racey Jordan who was in charge of this project.   His book From Major Jordan’s Diary tried to warn the American people but it was smothered.

A link to a speech by Major Jordan:   https://youtu.be/Z9eYS0mxtpQ?si=1iJdDiQekrkZWpwg

At the Yalta Agreement Roosevelt not only handed Stalin the nations of Eastern Europe but agreed to forcefully hand over millions of people who had fled from the advancing Red Army.  This dark chapter in our history “Operation Keelhaul” is a little known event even to many World War II historians.  I made reference to “Operation Keelhaul’ in a letter to the “Brockton Enterprise” in 1988, and a survivor of this event reached out to me and gave me a firsthand narrative of this tragedy.

During the Cold War. President Johnson approved of sending supplies to satellites of the Soviet Union some of which made its way to the North Vietnam and used to kill American soldiers.  During the Nixon Administration, the U.S. sent technology to the Soviets making it possible for them to upgrade their nuclear missile system.  The technology included miniature ball bearing from the Bryant Company in Springfield, VT.  The company-the only one in the world at the time that made this ball bearing-initially refused to let the Soviets have them, but they relented due to the heavy hand of Henry Kissinger- who some believed was a Soviet Agent.  This is from a Wikipedia article:

“ Bryant’s Soviet contracts continued to be controversial that same year. Bryant’s sale of 45 precision grinders enabled the USSR to improve missile accuracy and MIRV their ICBMs. Objections to the sale were quashed by Henry Kissinger.

                   We also send the material to build the world’s largest truck engine factory in the world at the time in Russia:  The Kama River factory.  Engines from these trucks came in handy when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan.  This comes right from the CIA’s website:

This treachery was documented by the late Professor Anthony Sutton in a series of books which include Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, National Suicide:  Military Aid To The Soviet Union, The Best Enemy Money Can Buy, and the three-volume book Western Aid to the Soviet Union 1917-1965.

It always helps to make your case by finding  those involved corroborating your research.    Back in the early 2000s, I took a homeschool field trip to the New England Air Museum in Windsor Locks, CT with two of my children. In the museum’ lobby was a newsletter from United Technologies-the parent company of Sikorsky Aviation.  It contained an article by Igor Sikorski Jr, the son of the aviation pioneer, and patriot.  In the article,  Igor bragged abut selling equipment to the Soviet bloc nations in the 1960s.  I wrote to him and asked if he knew how many Americans died in Vietnam as a result of his equipment being send from Eastern Europe to North Vietnam.  For some strange reason, he neve responded to my letter.

While doing research for the article, I pulled out a file of newspaper articles from the 1980s and early 1990s and found this this:

That’s right.  Soviet generals being lectured by General Colin Powell, an anti-Trumper who supported Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Biden.

 

When Russia invaded Ukraine, Biden, or more likely his handlers, banned the sale of Russian fossil fuels to the U.S. but he did not break off diplomatic relations which we have had since the Franklin Roosevelt Administration.   Practically every U.S. President from Wilson to Obama has done their utmost to cater to the Russian communists.  The Democrats and their Republican Neo-Con allies like Liz Cheney, and Adam Kissinger have labeled Trump as a “Putin’s Puppet” for wanting an end to the war in Ukraine.  While most have rejected their false and ugly accusation, there are a large number of people who want to believe it.

I realize that simply exposing the misguided people who have bought into the “Putin’s Puppet” narrative to the above will not likely change their positions.  However, it will help give folks who oppose the war in Ukraine some needed historical background.
