I recall my first day.  There is not much else readily available in my memory of that time, but I remember that as clearly as I remember the day President Kennedy was assassinated which also happened while attending the same school.<\/p>\n<p>There was no kindergarten. I was enrolled into the first grade just shy of my 6th birthday.  I had never been on a playground with swing sets, teeter-totters, and sliding boards.  To me, the sliding board looked very high.  At the first opportunity, I darted up the ladder for a slide.  It was thrilling as I recall and to the displeasure of my Mom, left the seat of my new school britches dirty and rust stained \u2013 another emotionally significant event.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after the sliding board adventure, a loud bell rang.  The teachers herded us together at the school\u2019s entrance.  As with other first graders, except for maybe a couple of repeaters, I did not know what was happening.  Gathered up into the correct gaggle by our teacher Mrs. Davis, we were shown to put our right hand over our hearts and look toward the flag.  It was the first time I ever heard the pledge of allegiance to the flag.  At least it is the first time I remember. After that, we heard the older students sing the first verse of America.  \u201cMy country tis of the, sweet land of liberty.\u201d  Over the next few weeks, Mrs. Davis would teach us the pledge and the song.  In our classroom, it was how we began every morning followed by Mrs. Davis leading us in the Lord\u2019s Prayer.  The only other thing that comes to mind from that time was learning letters, numbers and reading.<br \/>\nSometime beyond the first grade, we started learning about American history and government.  Early, we learned the stark and frightening contrasts between American individual liberty Exceptionalism and dictators and Communism.  We learned the evils of communism and they were imprinted on our young minds as something we should fear.<\/p>\n<p>In my youth, I was as liberal minded as any other kid.  Even with that, I never learned or experienced anything that would cause me to embrace communism.  Hippies carrying and wearing communist flags, including the North Vietnamese flag during their anti-war protests only firmed my beliefs about communism.  Our Soldiers were fighting, my brother included, and dying and these vermin marched under the flag of our communist enemy.  One of the self-appointed leaders of their movement, Hanoi Jane Fonda, declared in 1970 to some University of Michigan students:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that one day we would become Communist.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At other times, she also declared:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> \u201cI, a Socialist, think we should strive toward a Socialist society, all the way to Communism.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The truth is if today\u2019s undereducated and over indoctrinated American youth fully understood Communism, it would have no chance in America.  Communism is the Godless antithesis of American Exceptionalism wherein freedom, what little of it there is, is parceled out by the government.  It is an ideology with no qualms about mercilessly and abruptly ending your right to breath.<\/p>\n<p>It struck me then and remained with me.  In America, this desire for Socialism and Communism is preached by the wealthy and privileged and directed toward ignorant followers.  This includes the poorly educated wealthy and politicians who wholly believe the government should supplant God and the individual.  Followers of this idealism, excluding power wielding politicians, are willfully ignorant of the devastating effect Socialism and Communism have wherever practiced.  Either that or they simply do not care.  Anyone who could accept that Jane Fonda, or anyone like her, would forego wealth and redistribute it among the like-minded shows the level of their ignorance and dangerous naivet\u00e9.  In Hollywood, Communism is not new and walks hand in hand with the dominant Hollywood political ideologies of progressivism and liberalism.  Ronald Reagan battled it as a member and President of the Screen Actors guild. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ensqVTnGkNw\"target=\"_blank\">Ronald Reagan on Communism in Hollywood<\/a>.

Everything from removing prayer from schools, to promoting homosexuality and pornography, to fomenting riots and protests\u2026. Examples supporting the goals are endless and it is plain to see that many if not most have been achieved \u2013 even evidenced in current events.  The bought and paid for protestors we watch come straight from the Communist tool kit.  This places freedom precariously clinging to the very edge of the Communist abyss.  Communist tendencies and thought are prevalent in American politics making one seriously consider the goal to:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cCapture one or both of the political parties in the United States.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And the goal to:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201dGet control of the schools.  <b>Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda<\/b>.

Do not make the mistake of believing there are none left.  These days they call themselves Progressives.  What is just as striking is the level at which the <a href=\"https:\/\/clarionproject.org\/Muslim_Brotherhood_Explanatory_Memorandum\/\"targer=\"_blank\">Muslim Brotherhood<\/a> has been able to accomplish much the same.  While the Washington establishment, fearful of being labeled racists or Islamaphobes have done little to stop it.  Screaming racism, bigotry, and Islmaphobia is no different from the squeals of McCarthyism still bantered about by today\u2019s media and progressives who were yesterday\u2019s liberals who were yesterday\u2019s communists.  They have the same affect of shutting down debate and sending scared to death Washington politicians toward the hills and away from serious national security issues.<\/p>\n<p>Another book that shines light on Communism or maybe more appropriately its methods especially used by the Russians is <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1936488604\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=1936488604&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=jdsbunke&#038;linkId=a05\n515dc685092ff445bbd8e339634bb\">Disinformation: Former Spy Chief Reveals Secret Strategies for Undermining Freedom, Attacking Religion, and Promoting Terrorism<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=jdsbunke&#038;l=am2&#038;o=1&#038;a=1936488604\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/> by Soviet defector Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest ranking Soviet bloc intelligence official ever to defect to the West.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cDuring the Cold War, more people in the Soviet bloc worked for the disinformation machinery than for the Soviet army and defense industry put together.  The bloc\u2019s intelligence community alone had well over one million officers and several million informants around the world.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Simplistically and in a nutshell, according to the General, dezinformatsiya built a false history (a past) then leaked information to spur the media into a feeding frenzy in order characterize a perception of the target.  Boy, does that not seem too familiar?  Then just at the appropriate time the \u201creal\u201d bombshell proof finally emerges verifying what most people have been conditioned to believe.  It is more complex than that involving many real players and dupes, but that is the general picture.  We are seeing something very similar every day, from our media, \u201cIntelligence Sources\u201d, and politicians.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSpecifically, the idea is to fabricate a new past for enemy targets in order to change how the world perceives them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe truth is, The Western media are quite easily manipulated, for they often craft their stories from press releases and tend, on the whole, to be indiscriminate about the nature and reliability of their sources.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>One example of a Soviet\/Communist disinformation operation almost everyone can recall is the black church fire hoax.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe National Council of Churches (NCC) and the Center for Democratic Renewal (CDR), two secretly Marxist organizations headquartered in the United States, held a joint press conference to announce a \u201chuge increase\u201d in the number of arson cases against black churches in the United States.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>President Clinton recounted his own:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cvivid and painful memories of black churches being burned in my own state when I was a child.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Afterwards two hundred federal agents were assigned to investigate black church fires.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201c\u2026 accounts of arson against black churches snowballed, with more than twenty-two hundred articles appearing in the press to condemn what the CDR called \u201ca well-organized white-supremacist movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen the bubble burst.  It was eventually established by a private group, the National Fire Protection Association, that in recent years there had been far fewer church fires than usual, and law enforcement officials in the South could not confirm any as having been racially motivated.  No church burning had occurred in Arkansas during Clinton\u2019s childhood, in spite of his \u201cvivid and painful\u201d memories, and the NCC was accused of fabricating \u201ca great church-fire hoax.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In a disinformation campaign, it does not matter that the information is false, it only needs a \u201ckernel of truth\u201d to proliferate.  Besides by the time it is discovered that it is a hoax the political damage is already done.  I do not recollect our media rushing to correct the record.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it took some time to get here from there. Without putting on a tinfoil conspiracy hat, here are some things that bother me.  Communism and the Russian way did not end with the fall of the Berlin Wall.  I do not accept the premise put forth by the United States media and suspect and politicized \u201cIntelligence Sources\u201d that Putin \u2013 always a KGB man \u2013 preferred to have Trump as President.  Why would he want to spoil a relationship with the person responsible for giving him 20 percent of our uranium?  A person who has practically proven she could be bought?  Or a relationship with a Democratic administration who told him not to worry we can be more flexible after the election?  Why would Putin want an American President determined to rebuild the US military with full knowledge of the Democrat failures in that area?  None of it adds up to me.  Not one bit of it.<\/p>\n<p>No one has provided evidence of collusion between Trump and the Russians and our outgoing politicized Intel bosses were the first to declare it.  The media however, and politicians and the FBI are keeping the story alive bit by bit building that perception and spreading it across our country and worldwide.   They breathlessly wait for that bombshell piece of evidence that seals the deal.  Although they have yet to find it, the FBI must have an inkling it is forthcoming.  What could cause them to believe such a thing?<\/p>\n<p>There is little doubt that the Russians meddle in our affairs.  That is what they do.  We also meddle in theirs.  But, from my country boy perspective if the Russians are colluding, it is not with the Trump Administration.  They are playing as they have always played.  Build the history, leak some information, spread the perception, lead investigators to proof\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>I believe we are in a more precarious situation than most realize.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2017 J.
