Observations From the Back Row, July 25, 2020

By Rich Kozlovich

If you're like me you never, or rarely, watch TV news, and no longer buy the newspaper for anything other than the crossword puzzle. I've even stopped buying it for the sports because I no longer watch sports! Any sports! But for those who do think they're getting actual news by watching TV and reading anything other than a few real "news" papers, here's what you've missed, and what's really happening.

And make no mistake about this. What you're going to read is who these people are, different names, different faces, different times. Same philosophy and goals, in effect, the left today is nothing more than clones of an earlier version of leftist who have been with us from the late 19th century when the socialists, who called themselves progressives then in order to hide they were in reality atheistic European style socialists -both parties at that time by the way - started their insidious rise to power in all of America's structure.

Eventually, Stalin's agents thoroughly infested government, newspapers, unions, academia, radio, Hollywood, religion, etc., and worked to completely take over one of the parties, and that party ended up being the Democrat party. We now know for sure this true due to the release of the Venona Intercepts in 1996, which revealed how deeply the United States government, during the FDR administration, was the most deeply penetrated government in world history. And Roosevelt had to know what was going on. It's also how the United States government knew the Rosenbergs were absolutely guilty.

Wikipedia notes:

........Venona revealed the existence of Soviet espionage^[24] at Los Alamos National Laboratories.^[25] Identities soon emerged of American, Canadian, Australian, and British spies in service to the Soviet government, including Klaus Fuchs, Alan Nunn May, and Donald Maclean. Others worked in Washington in the State Department, the Treasury, Office of Strategic Services,^[26] and even the White House.

The messages show that the U.S. and other nations were targeted in major espionage campaigns by the Soviet Union as early as 1942. Among those identified are Julius and Ethel Rosenberg; Alger Hiss; Harry Dexter White, the second-highest official in the Treasury Department; Lauchlin Currie,^[27] a personal aide to Franklin Roosevelt; and Maurice Halperin,^[28] a section head in the Office of Strategic Services. 

The identification of individuals mentioned in Venona transcripts is sometimes problematic, since people with a "covert relationship" with Soviet intelligence are referenced by cryptonyms.^[29] Further complicating matters is the fact the same person sometimes had different cryptonyms at different times, and the same cryptonym was sometimes reused for different individuals. In some cases, notably Hiss, the matching of a Venona cryptonym to an individual is disputed. 

In many other cases, a Venona cryptonym has not yet been linked to any person. According to authors John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr, the Venona transcripts identify approximately 349 Americans who they claim had a covert relationship with Soviet intelligence, though fewer than half of these have been matched to real-name identities.^[30] However, not every agent may have been communicating directly with Soviet intelligence. Each of those 349 persons may have had many others working for, and reporting only to, them. 

The Office of Strategic Services, the predecessor to the CIA, housed at one time or another between fifteen and twenty Soviet spies.^[31] Duncan Lee, Donald Wheeler, Jane Foster Zlatowski, and Maurice Halperin passed information to Moscow. The War Production Board, the Board of Economic Warfare, the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs and the Office of War Information, included at least half a dozen Soviet sources each among their employees.

Now, the takeover is completely exposed and totally in the open, and a huge percentage of Americans not only don't care, they like it.  Let's try and get this right.  If they're Democrat party members, they're communists! If they're practicing or believing Christians or Jews and Democrats, they're communists and heretics. Now their numbers are so large they're bold beyond anything we've seen in the past.  They can now fearlessly and openly express the views they've held in secret for decades, but didn't dare express except in cloaked terms that use our own values against us. 

The goal?

Destroy the American identity, American Culture, American economy and destroy the Constitution in order to bring into being a worldwide form of governance under the auspices of the United Nations.

Here's how badly they've corrupted the American culture in order to destroy America from within.

Elizabeth Naham  posted the article,  How White Educated Female Liberals Are Destroying the Culture saying:

Malcolm X once stated that the black community’s greatest enemy was the white liberal.  If he were living now, perhaps that perspective would change and narrow to white liberal women.  Many of us recognize that white, educated, liberal women are becoming the enemy of any remnants of traditional culture.

Over the last few years, these white, guilt-ridden women have become a force for promoting identity politics and the demonization of men.  One does not see this more than in the professions of human behavior and mental health. As an East coast therapist, I have heard stories about microaggressions concerning race, sexual orientation, and sexual identity. For those of us who do not subscribe to this increasingly fanatical, Orwellian creed, we either self-isolate or are ostracized.  The silence of dissenting voices is the mandate of these Left-wing females.............

Jeffrey Folks posted this piece, Democrats Have Completely Abandoned Civility reporting:

On July 20, Nancy Pelosi said that if President Trump refuses to accept the results of the November election, he will have to be "fumigated" out of the White House.  Fumigation is a technique used against insects, and the idea that human beings are insects has a long history in totalitarian discourse.  Hitler described Jews as "vermin" and "parasites," a form of dehumanization that is always just one step away from physical violence Speaker Pelosi should apologize immediately, and profusely, for her use of this inappropriate rhetoric.

Most thoughtful persons would agree that labeling another an "insect" is uncivil.;A cultured individual who practices civility is tolerant of the opinions and beliefs of others, and indeed, toleration is the best measure of civility.One may be a Catholic, but he practices tolerance toward other Christian and non-Christian forms of belief, even including atheism and agnosticism. He may be a liberal, but he values the opinions of conservatives and treats conservatives with respect.

The party that demands inclusion, diversity, and equality practices none of it, in fact Jack Chapman noted in his article, Free Speech Faces a Religious Threat,

America is currently experiencing something of a revolutionary mood. The toppling of statues, the "cancelation" of journalists and public figures who stray from the new mainstream in their thought, and the speed with which CEOs and boardrooms have caved to online Twitter mobs indicate that a radical cultural shift is taking place."............

In comes "wokeness" or any other name used to describe the radical political ideology that has rapidly ascended in the past decade to dominate American college campuses and other important institutions like mainstream and social media. It is unflinching in its disdain for the American experiment and, notably, is especially popular among the more secular younger generations. But while religion, especially Christianity, is on its laundry list of oppressive forces needing to be dismantled, its practitioners themselves engage in actions that are strikingly reminiscent of an actual religion.

Most apparent is the demand for acceptance of a particular worldview and obedience to a set of unwritten laws...........It is the most effective way of preventing tyranny and ensuring societal progress. The current threat to its existence at the hands of zealous doctrinaires should be called out for what it is and opposed by all............

In their demand for absolute obedience to whatever philosophical flavor of the day may be, they're unendingly corrupting language in order to confuse and mislead.  As Robert Oscar Lopez observes in his article,  The Implosion of the Left's Language Circus:

Recent fiascos in Portland and Chicago indicate a dangerous turn for the left.Portland's mayor let anarchists terrorize the downtown for fifty days, then fueled a psy-op campaign blaming the destruction on Trump.  Chicago's mayor, Lori Lightfoot, lashed out at Donald Trump just before hundreds of protesters hurled projectiles at police before a Christopher Columbus statue.Next, they marched to surround her house, yelling expletives at her.

Conservatives worry, understandably, about whether the public will blame this chaos on Trump.Many signs indicate that the left's propaganda machine has worked.As a personal endeavor, I contacted Democratic friends and relatives during June and July to see if we could find common ground.There exists no common ground.

All the Democrats I know hold Donald Trump personally responsible for the spread of COVID.They believe that racial violence has increased under Donald Trump. No Democrat who spoke to me believes there is any rioting in the United States other than white supremacist provocateurs.  They believe that cancel culture is not real, not a problem, and not something that leftists participate in.They do not believe that the media have any bias.

They're replacing rational thought and reality with delusional nonsense that borders on insanity.  Jared Peterson's piece, High Culture’s Imminent Surrender to the Woke, notes:

Not at all surprisingly, the classical music world is now squarely in the sights of the woke mob. So now the gang of callow American Maoists is going to teach us that excellence in classical music -- composers and performers -- is also a white male plot. I suppose that soon great American symphonies will be hiring violinists who might just barely be able to cut it in a small-town community orchestra. ..............Of course, in the current revolutionary environment, the culmination of 50 years, this had to come.  It's important to see this ongoing cultural revolution in some kind of historical context.

So, what does the Democrat party offer?  Apparently their best and their brightest? No, Democrats sink to rock bottom with Biden.  Can anyone think they could have found a worse candidate? Actually, yes.  The rest of the field was so corrupt and stupid Biden looked like the best of be batch.

But what's truly scar,y given the efforts to push mail in ballots, early voting, absentee ballots, late counts, and other forms of voter fraud,  In 100 days, communists could be set to run the White House, with a bumbling, clueless, corrupt and incompetent as President of the United States, and make no mistake about this.  If their voter fraud schemes become reality, the House and the Senate will go down also.

This is the world as I see it!
