America’s Contribution To The Communist Takeover Of China

April 28, 2022 By Laura Lam

“If we do not learn from the mistakes of history, we are doomed to repeat them.”

George Santayana (1863-1952)

Fully understanding communism and its effects continues to be a major challenge. What most people don’t know, though, is that it was America that hastened the communist takeover in China.

For decades, Chiang Kai Shek and his nationalist army had fought relentlessly to suppress rebellions by Communist forces. He was successful enough to maintain a democratic government for 21 years. However, Chiang was betrayed both from within his party and by America, the free world’s last remaining superpower, which refused to support his fight against communism. This resulted from a fundamental inconsistency in American attitudes toward Chiang. America should study the past as Taiwan defends itself from being absorbed by Communist China.

Nationalism and Communism

In 1924, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) joined forces with the Kuomintang (KMT). However, because the CCP was using the alliance to spread communism, the KMT-CCP Alliance inevitably collapsed. Chiang Kai-shek then set out on the Northern Expedition in 1926 and succeeded in reunifying most of the country. Then, in 1928, he formed the Republic of China (ROC) in Nanjing.

Communist spies began to infiltrate the KMT national army. General Li Zongren, a former warlord, joined the KMT in 1923. He was secretly against Chiang. Having manipulated support from the US, Li was competing for national leadership against Chiang by ousting Chiang’s loyal commanders, replacing them with communists. Chiang successfully neutralized Li................To Read More....

 

McCarran Walters Act, 1952, Prohibits the Immigration of Islamists

Editor's Note:  This appeared in P&D in April, 2016, and with what I've titled, "Biden Consequence" for future articles dealing with the disaster of a Biden presidency and a Democrat Congress, I've decided to re-run it.  The original link to this piece no longer works, and I have no idea who the original author was, but the Carter link provides more information.  Please enjoy.  RK

McCarran and Walter were Democrats. This act was created in 1952 and used by Carter in 1979  to keep Iranians out of the United States , but he actually did more. He made all Iranian students already here check in, and then he deported a bunch. Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas, 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the United States in 1979. You won’t hear a word about this from the liberal media, propaganda machine."

"It is of note that the act requires that an applicant for immigration must be of good moral character and “attached to the principles of the Constitution.”

 

 

 

 

 

OBAMA FORGOT ABOUT THIS LAW..

"Otherwise known as the McCarran-Walter Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 was meant to exclude certain immigrants from immigrating to America, post World War II and in the early Cold War. The McCarran-Walter Act moved away from excluding immigrants based simply upon country of origin. Instead it focused upon denying immigrants who were unlawful, immoral, diseased in any way, politically radical etc. and accepting those who were willing and able to assimilate into the US economic, social, and political structures, which restructured how immigration law was handled. Furthermore, the most notable exclusions were anyone even remotely associated with communism which in the early days of the Cold War was seen as a serious threat to US democracy."

"The main objective of this was to block any spread of communism from outside post WWII countries, as well as deny any enemies of the US during WWII such as Japan and favor “good Asian” countries such as China. The McCarran-Walter Act was a strong reinforcement in immigration selection, which was labeled the best way to preserve national security and national interests. President Truman originally vetoed the law, deeming it discriminatory; however there was enough support in Congress for the law to pass."

The Nazi Kid From Brooklyn

History must always be remembered, except when it shouldn’t. No one will ever claim that adage, but many people adhere to it, one way or another.

Pity the person with a history that disturbs a popular narrative. In the blink of an eye, “never forget” can become “never remind.”   Last week, the media went into full-on “never forget” mode after Donald Trump’s “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” proposal. Damn near every mainstream media outlet immediately invoked World War II Japanese-American internment as an example of how U.S. war hysteria inevitably leads to racism.  The fuss over Trump’s comments will eventually ebb. Of more interest to me is how the episode proved, once again, that while the story of the 71,000 Japanese-Americans who were relocated, and the 35,000 Japanese aliens who were interned (in a previous piece, I explained the difference), is classified under “never forget,” the story of the approximately 14,000 German- and Italian-Americans and aliens interned during the war is officially filed under “never remind.”....To Read More....
