Communism is Treason!

August 24 marks sixty-six years since President Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act into law. Controlled press outlets from the New York Times to the Wall Street Journal excoriated the Act when it passed Congress, powerful think tanks and lobbying groups rose up in protest, and it was ultimately never enforced except in a handful of cases. I contend that expanding the Communist Control Act’s scope and power, and then strictly enforcing it in order to criminalize communism, is the only way America will survive the coming cataclysm planned by the enemies among us. The war cry of every patriotic American must become: Communism is treason; death to communism!

The Communist Control Act of 1954 outlawed the Communist Party USA and listed several important reasons why drastic action was needed to root out the communist conspiracy. The relevant portion of the legislation reads:

“The Congress hereby finds and declares that the Communist Party of the United States, although purportedly a political party, is in fact an instrumentality of a conspiracy to overthrow the Government of the United States. It constitutes an authoritarian dictatorship within a republic, demanding for itself the rights and privileges accorded to political parties, but denying to all others the liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. Unlike political parties, which evolve their policies and programs through public means, by the reconciliation of a wide variety of individual views, and submit those policies and programs to the electorate at large for approval or disapproval, the policies and programs of the Communist Party are secretly prescribed for it by the foreign leaders of the world Communist movement. Its members have no part in determining its goals, and are not permitted to voice dissent to party objectives. Unlike members of political parties, members of the Communist Party are recruited for indoctrination with respect to its objectives and methods, and are organized, instructed, and disciplined to carry into action slavishly the assignments given them by their hierarchical chieftains. Unlike political parties, the Communist Party acknowledges no constitutional or statutory limitations upon its conduct or upon that of its members. The Communist Party is relatively small numerically, and gives scant indication of capacity ever to attain its ends by lawful political means. The peril inherent in its operation arises not from its numbers, but from its failure to acknowledge any limitation as to the nature of its activities, and its dedication to the proposition that the present constitutional Government of the United States ultimately must be brought to ruin by any available means, including resort to force and violence. Holding that doctrine, its role as the agency of a hostile foreign power renders its existence a clear present and continuing danger to the security of the United States. It is the means whereby individual are seduced into the service of the world Communist movement, trained to do its bidding, and directed and controlled in the conspiratorial performance of their revolutionary services. Therefore, the Communist Party should be outlawed.

“The Communist Party of the United States, or any successors of such party regardless of the assumed name, whose object or purpose is to overthrow the Government of the United States, or the government of any State, Territory, District, or possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein by force and violence, are not entitled to any of the rights, privileges, and immunities attendant upon legal bodies created under the jurisdiction of the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; and whatever rights, privileges, and immunities which have heretofore been granted to said party or any subsidiary organization by reason of the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, are hereby terminated. . . .

“Whoever knowingly and willfully becomes or remains a member of (1) the Communist Party, or (2) any other organization having for one of its purposes or objectives the establishment, control conduct, seizure, or overthrow of the Government of the United States, or the government of any State or political subdivision thereof, by the use of force or violence, with knowledge of the purpose or objective of such organization shall be subject to all the provisions and penalties of the Internal Security Act of 1950, as amended, as a member of a “Communist-action” organization.

“For the purposes of this section, the term “Communist Party” means the organization now known as the Communist Party of the United States of America, the Communist Party of any State or subdivision thereof, and any unit or subdivision of any such organization, whether or not any change is hereafter made in the name thereof.”

Did you catch the difference between a normal political party and the Communist Party? Normal political parties operate democratically and submit their ideas to the American People for approval or disapproval. The Communist Party, by contrast, thumbs its nose at the voice of the People. Instead, it operates on the principle of strict obedience to the dictates of shadowy superiors whose intent is to come to power over the People.

The Communist Party also differs from other political parties in the fact that it cannot peacefully coexist with them. Democrats and Republicans may hate each other, but they tolerate each other’s existence and, ostensibly, defend each other’s right to exist – as well as the right of third parties and independents to share their views. The communists, on the other hand, deny that those whom they deem “class enemies” have any rights at all. They declare themselves alone to be sovereign. They reject the idea of pluralistic society and, instead, seek a total monopoly of political power. To communists, there can be only one voice, one sovereign, one party – the Communist Party.

After stating some of these basic facts, Congress then spelled out thirteen specific actions which would be used to determine one’s “membership or participation” in a prohibited communist organization. I mention only four. An individual who could be investigated and penalized under the CCA is one who has “prepared documents, pamphlets, leaflets, books, or any other type of publication in behalf of the objectives and purposes of the organization,” one who has “mailed, shipped, circulated, distributed, delivered, or in any other way sent or delivered to others material or propaganda of any kind in behalf of the organization,” one who has “indicated by word, action, conduct, writing or in any other way a willingness to carry out in any manner and to any degree the plans, designs, objectives, or purposes of the organization,” or one who has “made financial contribution to the organization in dues, assessments, loans, or in any other form.”

These four points alone are enough to identify and apprehend the communist traitors in our midst. Think of it, anyone who parrots The Communist Manifesto’s threats against free nations and free institutions could be rounded up and prosecuted. Anyone who preached the idea that a small clique of gangsters (i.e. the Communist Party and their abettors) should be in full control of the levers of power could be immediately silenced before he could sew the seeds of contention and civil war. Anyone who marched with authentic symbols of hate like the Soviet hammer and sickle flag, could quickly be identified as an enemy of the Republic. In short order, the subversive communist apparatus, both official and unofficial, could be crushed if we were to enforce the Communist Control Act.

Among other individuals, organizations, and publications that could be hauled in before the courts, prosecuted, or disbanded under the Communist Control Act, are the following:

  • George Soros
  • Jacob Rothschild
  • Bernie Sanders
  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
  • Antifa
  • Black Lives Matter
  • New Black Panther Party
  • Congressional Progressive Caucus
  • Code Pink
  • Acorn
  • The Ford Foundation
  • The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
  • Open Society Foundations
  • Democratic Party
  • Communist Party USA
  • Revolutionary Communist Party USA
  • Socialist Party USA
  • Democratic Socialists of America
  • Party for Socialism and Liberation
  • World Socialist Party of the United States
  • Progressive Labor Party
  • Industrial Workers of the World
  • Fabian Society
  • Young Communist League USA
  • North American Man/Boy Love Association
  • Mattachine Society
  • Southern Poverty Law Center
  • ActBlue
  • Political Affairs (journal of the CPUSA)
  • People’s World (publication of the CPUSA)
  • Liberation News (news site of the Party for Socialism and Liberation)

Hundreds of other organizations could be added to the list and many thousands of individuals – including prominent politicians, judges, preachers, businessmen, reporters, actors, and educators – would find their rightful place there as well. The United States, to say nothing of the rest of the world, is infested by communists and their ideological comrades. Today’s gaggle of communist agitators will fulfill Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev’s threat to “bury” us if we do not swiftly move against them.

The Communist Control Act is a godsend to the patriot movement! We ought to invoke it immediately to provide for our “common defense” as a free People. In fact, we have an extensive body of anti-communist legislation to call upon to thwart the 21st-Century Reds who are well into the process of destroying our entire civilization.

The CCA was not the first or only anti-communist measure enacted by the U.S. government during the Cold War. The CCA was merely an amendment to the 1950 Internal Security Act, or, Subversive Activities Control Act. Whereas the Internal Security Act broadly targeted subversive organizations, the CCA directly singled out communist organizations, effectively prohibiting them. And the ISA itself was only a follow-up to the 1940 Alien Registration Act with its Smith Act provisions.

The Alien Registration Act required aliens to register with the government. It was popular at the time – and it is still popular today – for “political tourists” to visit the United States and engage in subversive behavior. Two groups in particular, Soviet communists and Jewish radicals from Europe, engaged in this type of criminal conduct. The Smith Act section of the Alien Registration Act targeted those who would fan the flames of sedition and revolution against the government. It read in part:

“It shall be unlawful for any person, with intent to interfere with, impair, or influence the loyalty, morale, or discipline of the military or naval forces of the United States. . . .

“It shall be unlawful for any person— (1) to knowingly or willfully advocate, abet, advise, or teach the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; (2) with the intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any government in the United States, to print, publish, edit, issue, circulate, sell, distribute, or publicly display any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence. (3) to organize or help to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any government in the United States by force or violence; or to be or become a member of, or affiliate with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof.”

The Smith Act also spoke against conspiracy. This provision was removed years later, but then added again in 1956, penalizing those who engage in conspiracy against the government with a $20,000 fine, twenty years in prison, or both. While the Smith Act seems perfectly reasonable to any patriotic American, portions of it were repealed in the 40s and 50s, and the activist Supreme Court began overturning convictions under its provisions in 1957, allowing violators to go free. Conspiracy, however, is still a crime listed on the books even today.

Numerous court cases variously upheld or undermined certain provisions of these acts. In Communist Party of the United States V. Subversive Activities Control Board in 1961, the CPUSA challenged the 1950 Subversive Activities Control Act. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Act, issuing their opinion that it did not violate the First Amendment to require the Communist Party to register with the Attorney General because the Party’s ideology, communism, was indeed a threat to the nation. As noted, other rulings were not as favorable. But those that were established the precedent that we could use today to enforce these laws to clamp down on the conspiratorial communist movement.

I mention one additional legislative act of peculiar interest to anyone wishing to see the Red Plague of communism swept away. The Emergency Detention Act of 1950 provided for the mass round-up of communists. Six government internment camps were created by the government in anticipation of holding the thousands of communist agitators who would be apprehended. Tragically, the Emergency Detention Act was never utilized and met its demise in September 1971. President Richard Nixon issued a statement when he signed the repeal of the Act, saying in part:

“No President has ever attempted to use the provisions of this act. And while six detention camps were established and funded by the Congress, none of them was ever used for the purposes of this legislation. In fact, all six camps have been abandoned or used for other purposes since 1957.

“Nevertheless, the mere continued existence of these legal provisions has aroused concern among many Americans that the act might someday be used to apprehend and detain citizens who hold unpopular views.”

That no president in the twenty-one years of the Act’s existence ever attempted to use it to round up and get rid of communist traitors and criminals is a biting indictment on those men, their advisors, and their supporters. Was not their sworn duty to defend the United States against its enemies and to ensure that Americans were secure in their rights? Americans cannot be secure in their God-given rights when communists are allowed to exist alongside them. The Constitution is not safe in a nation that permits communists to exist within its borders. Where communism is, Liberty can never fully shine.

Some believe that detention centers are inherently “unAmerican.” I disagree. When illegal invaders, drug cartel criminals, rapists, and thugs, storm across our Southern border, they are rounded up and placed in detention centers. This should be standard procedure for groups which threaten the nation. Remove them from the general population so they cannot do additional damage, then try them in court according to their crimes.

In 1776, General George Washington led the Continental Army on a campaign to disarm the Tories of Queens County, New York. Yes, George Washington confiscated New Yorkers’ firearms. And why not? It was a war, after all, and the Tories chose the opposing side – the side that advocated monarchy and subjugation to a ruling elite. It’s simply not repugnant to disarm or even arrest your avowed enemies in a time of conflict. And make no mistake, we are at war with the communists.

The great Ezra Taft Benson, who served as President Eisenhower’s Secretary of Agriculture at the time he signed the Communist Control Act into law, explained:

“Today we are at war. It is not enough to be against communism. We must shed our complacency and aggressively meet this challenge. . . .

“There can be no compromise with the communists. They are at war with us – with the entire cause of freedom, and the sooner every American faces this hard fact, the stronger our position will be. It is a real war. The lines are tightly drawn. The war is more insidious, more devious, more devastating, and more satanical than any war in our history. Moral principles, once universally recognized are ignored. International law once respected is thrown to the wind.

“The socialist-communist philosophy is devastatingly evil – destructive of all that is good, uplifting and beautiful. It strikes at the very foundation of all we hold dear” (Ezra Taft Benson, “We Must Become Alerted and Informed,” speech, December 13, 1963).

In his book An Enemy Hath Done This, Benson similarly warned Americans:

“Let’s get one thing straight at the very beginning. International communism is the self-avowed enemy of every loyal American. It has declared war against us and fully intends to win. The war in which we are engaged is total. Although its main battlefields are psychological, political and economic, it also encompasses revolution, violence, terror and limited military skirmishes. If we should lose this war, the conquering enemy’s wrath against our people and our institutions will result in one of the greatest blood-baths of all history. Call it a “cold war” if it makes you feel better, but our freedom and our very lives are the stakes of this contest” (Ezra Taft Benson, An Enemy Hath Done This, 165).

Author Fred Schwarz likewise admonished us to wake up to the fact that we are at war, regardless of whether we want to be, because the communists are at war with us, our institutions, and our way of life:

“[W]e are confronted with a movement which is frightening in its superb organization, strategic mobility and universal program, but which is perfectly understandable and almost mathematically predictable.

“In the battle against Communism, there is no substitute for accurate, specific knowledge. Ignorance is evil and paralytic. The best intentions allied with the most sincere motives are ineffective and futile if they are divorced from adequate knowledge. . . .

“[Communists] are extremely trustworthy. You can trust a cancer cell to obey the laws of its lawless growth. You can trust an armed bank robber to take the money and try to escape. Similarly, you can trust the Communists to act in accordance with the laws of their being. . . .

“The weapons of this warfare are not merely the classical weapons of guns, tanks, bombs, and aircraft. The weapons are universal. Education is a weapon; language is a weapon; trade is a weapon; diplomacy is a weapon; religion is a weapon; cultural interchange is a weapon. The Communists view every act and judge every situation as part of the class war. When the Bolshoi Ballet performs in the United States, that is an action in the class war; when a group of American clergymen visits Russia, that is an action in the class war; when the Soviet participates in negotiations for “peace,” they fight a battle in the class war. Their participation in the United Nations is part of this warfare. The basic Communist doctrine is: “We are at war!” This is the frame of reference within which every action and thought must be assessed and judged.

“It does not take two to make a fight. An idea in the mind of one is enough. . . .

“The Communists believe that they are at war with us. This conviction will never be changed in the slightest degree by any action in the Free World . . . We must either recognize this and defend against it, or ignore it and be destroyed. We have no other choice” (Fred Schwarz, You Can Trust the Communists (to be Communists), 1-6).

 

I say again, there is nothing unAmerican about rounding up those who flout just laws, endanger public order, and commit themselves to overthrowing our Republic. Patriots in the 1940s and 50s realized the need to criminalize communism and outlaw the Communist Party. This they did by enacting the Smith Act in 1940, the Internal Safety Act and Emergency Detention Act of 1950, and the Communist Control Act of 1954. They put in the basic framework for sweeping action against the Red Menace, but, due to a coordinated campaign by communist agitators, their controlled press, and their powerful financial backers, were unable to gain enough popular support to put their anti-communist, pro-America plan into action and save the Republic from subversion.

In a hard-hitting sermon delivered in 1961, Ezra Taft Benson stated that the goal of communists is “to destroy the existing government and set up a ruthless criminal dictatorship over the whole land.” He further warned: “Unfortunately our nation has not treated the socialistic-communist conspiracy as “treasonable to our free institutions” . . . If we continue to uphold communism by not making it treasonable, our land shall be destroyed.”

Can anyone disagree with his assessment? Can anyone turn on the TV, watch as Seattle, Portland, Chicago, and other cities burn in communist-led riots, and then honestly disagree that communists must be dealt with by force? Communism is the enemy. Communism is treason. Communism must die for America to survive!

This Satanic enemy, like the fabled hydra, has many heads. It operates through an extensive network of front groups. They back the LGBT movement to corrupt our culture, destroy the family unit, and warp the minds of children. They promote public schooling so they can better indoctrinate children into the Marxist way of thinking. They use the Federal Reserve and the bloated bureaucracy to chip away at economic Freedom. They use taxation as a wealth redistribution scheme. They tell blacks they’re “victims,” pour salt in old wounds, and stoke the fires of racial disharmony. They target police, seek to limit their authority via citizen review boards, and use the courts to allow violent offenders and rioters to go free. They tell women that their place is in a nine-to-five job rather than in the home raising the next generation of citizens. They push for drug legalization as a means of desensitizing, degrading, and demoralizing our nation. They enact hate crime legislation which does nothing but criminalize points of view with which communists disagree. In these and a thousand other ways, the communist conspiracy has brought Lady Liberty to her knees.

The Communist Party USA, as the classic symbol of this conspiracy, must be first on the patriots’ chopping block. Not only has the Communist Party USA formally been outlawed, but it could readily be outlawed and its members penalized under any number of laws currently on the books. It is a clear and present danger to the United States because it operates as a wing of the worldwide communist conspiracy.

Louis Francis Budenz was a member of the CPUSA for ten years, during which time he helped edit the infamous Daily Worker. Budenz became disillusioned with the Party and woke up to its threatening nature. He wrote a book titled Men Without Faces: The Communist Conspiracy in the U.S.A., which I cannot recommend too highly. In the book’s introduction, he noted that it was his goal:

“to demonstrate that the Soviet dictatorship and its fifth column in this country constitute a clear and present danger to the existence of the United States.

“I want to show beyond question that the Communist party is not a political party in the American or democratic sense, but solely a fifth column of the Kremlin.”

Among other things, Budenz observed:

“Garbing itself in the attire of a regular political party, the Communist organization raises on behalf of its own legality the cry of those “civil liberties” which it officially declares it intends to abolish. The matter would be less confusing if the Red missionaries in the guise of liberals, radio commentators and trade unionists were not so successful in preventing Americans from learning the truth about their conspiratorial setup. The whole fictitious character of this “political party” claim could be easily exposed if it were established (as it can be) from Red documents and acts that the so-called Communist party is and has always been nothing other than one division of a dictator’s army with which he hopes to conquer the world” (Budenz, Men Without Faces, 29-30).

Yes, the Communist Party USA wears the mask of “democracy,” but instead promotes tyranny of the blackest type. It seeks to end the Constitution and decimate the rights we enjoy. Budenz further explained:

“The aim of this fifth column, and of the dictatorship manipulating it, is the violent destruction of the American Republic. It plans the conquest of the United States by setting up a world proletarian dictatorship guided and ruled by Joseph Stalin. As comfortable as it may have been in the past to evade that ugly reality, it can be evaded no longer. The fanatical hope, if you can call it that, which gives drive to these conspirators is the belief in “The World October.” This promised extension to the entire globe of the October Russian revolution which set up the Soviet dictatorship is the dynamo of the Communist movement. That whispered promise is on the lips of every obscure comrade; it is proudly proclaimed in every important speech and every fundamental book by ever leader of the Soviet state.

“In the first pamphlet on communism that I was given to study on entering the party, this pledge to wipe out the American government by fire and sword was stated in the most bloodthirsty terms. . . .

“It is disconcerting, then, to hear and read the extensive speculations of certain men in public life about what Soviet Russia means to do and what its fifth columns plan. The Reds have said so clearly what their reason for existence is, and have so scrupulously and relentlessly pursued the path set out for them, that such speculations would be absurd were they not so tragic.

“There is no greater tribute to the effectiveness of the Soviet fifth column in this country than the obvious fact that it has befogged the American mind regarding its ruthless resolves to wipe out American independence. Nothing is so clear-cut as its continual insistence within its own ranks that violent attack upon the government here is highly essential. But so skilled are its propagandists – disguised as non-Communists in the radio, newspaper and moving-picture world – that they have made Americans believe every revelation of Red espionage is the result of hysteria. They have done a fairly adequate job of making America ashamed of defending its own freedoms” (Budenz, Men Without Faces, 5, 7-8).

How very prescient! Today, in 2020, we see all around us hordes of rioters, Antifa thugs, and their cheerleaders in the media and Congress, who make themselves Red in the face yelling about how evil America is, how horrible our history is, and how ashamed we ought to be our of noble ancestors. This cacophony of dissent has cowed many Americans into sitting silently on the sidelines as their country is disgraced and destroyed in front of them. Many have been indoctrinated to believe that there is no communist threat and that anyone who says so is resurrecting the “Red Scare” and is probably a “Nazi,” “anti-Semite,” “fascist,” “klansman,” or “white supremacist.”

The cultural Marxists have successfully made millions of Americans ashamed to be Americans! What a tragedy! What a danger to our future! How can a nation survive when it hates itself? How can a nation project strength and oppose outward aggression when internally its people are twisted in confusion and self-loathing?

Fellow America, wake up! Your birthright is American Liberty. Your forebears were good, virtuous, patriotic men and women. Your institutions are unsurpassed in greatness and genius. You are descendants of the Sons of Liberty. Start acting like it.

Budenz concluded his landmark book by warning that a real defense of our Freedom means crushing the communist conspiracy. Said he:

“A true defense of civil liberties recognizes that the Communists mean to destroy such liberties. To safeguard American freedom the fifth column which menaces that freedom will have to be dealt with as a fifth column and not as something else – a legitimate political party, for example, which is pure fiction. . . .

“God grant that America may have the alertness to distinguish fact from fancy, the wisdom to understand the true nature of her Soviet opponent, and the courage to stand firm for her own defense and that of all mankind” (Budenz, Men Without Faces, 297).

Another Soviet defector, Yuri Bezmenov, similarly urged tough action against communist agitators. Bezmenov recommended curtailing the rights of seditious individuals and groups before they were able to foment a crisis that could only be reversed through bloodshed. He explained that there are four stages communists move a nation through before it can be considered conquered: 1) Demoralization; 2) Destabilization; 3) Crisis; and 4) Normalization. By the time things reach the destabilization stage, Bezmenov said that only restricting the rights of agitators can save a nation from military struggle:

“Now, at that point, at the point of destabilization, also the process could be reversed . . . You know what it takes here? Restriction of some liberties for small groups which are self-declared enemies of the society. As simple as that. “Oh no,” the media and liberals will tell you, “this is against the American Constitution” . . . Ok, if you allow the criminals to have civil rights, go on, and bring the country to the crisis. This is a bloodless way to do it: Curb the rights . . . It has to be beaten in the heads of American voters that a person like that in the seats of power is an enemy. Don’t be afraid of this word. It is an enemy . . . You are doing great service by denying him a right to capitalize on his own crazy ideas . . . Restrictions of certain Freedoms and permissions at that point would prevent sliding into crisis.”

As I’ve shown above, there is legal precedent for identifying, investigating, criminalizing, and even rounding up seditious groups. Specifically, the Communist Party and sworn Marxists have been singled out as seditious. It would be foolish to not use the Communist Control Act, or some variation thereof, to take down the communist network in America once and for all.

Let’s assume for a moment, however, that there was no Communist Control Act. Americans would still have the natural right to fight back against subversive elements in society. I refer to what Thomas Jefferson called the “laws of necessity.” In a letter, he explained why a patriot must sometime act on the authority of necessity rather than abide strictly by the written law:

“The question you propose, whether circumstances do not sometimes occur, which make it a duty in officers of high trust, to assume authorities beyond the law, is easy of solution in principle, but sometimes embarrassing in practice. A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means” (Thomas Jefferson to John B. Colvin, September 20, 1810).

The laws of necessity enjoin upon us, as freemen, as patriots, as Americans, to crush the communist conspiracy and all other ruthless criminal cliques seeking to overthrow our government, undermine our Constitution, and murder our Liberty. We cannot allow our children to march into Marxist servitude because we’re worried that the Bill of Rights protects free speech, for instance. By subscribing to the wicked ideology of communism, adherents become co-conspirators in a global plot to eviscerate Faith, Families, and Freedom. As adherents to this perverse totalitarian ideology, an ideology which has led to more death, rapine, and destruction than any other in world history, communists forfeit their political rights and privileges.

I call upon President Donald J. Trump and all other elected representatives of the American People to invoke and enforce the Communist Control Act, as well as the laws of necessity, to stamp out the communist conflagration spreading over the breadth of our land. We don’t have long if the blaze is allowed to burn out of control. We must act now. The Communist Party USA must be abolished and its members jailed, exiled, or executed, depending on the severity of their treason. Members of all other communist-socialist-oriented organizations, parties, publications, think tanks, and clubs must be penalized. It must be made a crime to openly promote the anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-Freedom, anti-Family, anti-Christ conspiracy we call communism.

We must recognize that the real virus ripping through the world is communism. The Red Plague of Bolshevism is the devastating contagion we must identify, quarantine, and eradicate. We must immunize ourselves against this spiritual, economic, and political plague by fortifying our Faith, Families, and Freedom. We must educate our youth to hate communism and all forms of tyranny over the minds of free men and women. We must no longer tolerate or excuse ideologies that promote the oppression of peaceable people. We must no longer tolerate communism.

Say it with me, dear reader: Communism is treason! No one wants to talk this bluntly, but in a crisis, straight talk is mandatory. No one wants to call for their fellow human beings to be rounded up and penalized, but that’s the dire stage we’re at. If we are to survive, we must do what a small handful of other nations attempted to do in the 1930s and 40s – criminalize communism and mercilessly crush their conspiratorial network.

If America does not destroy the communist cancer eating away at her vitals, she will die. If we do not stand up like freemen to oppose this system of unrivaled darkness, oppression, slavery, rapine, plunder, deception, and mass murder, we deserve our fate. We must not let our families down. We must not betray our country’s legacy. We must not allow our communist enemies to destroy this, the greatest nation in human history.

Stand up, freeman! Rise, fellow patriot! Put on your armor and draw your sword. The deciding battle of our lives is upon us. This final struggle will decide everything. We must not slack. We must not fail. We must pledge to ourselves:

Communism must die for America to survive!

A letter to the U.S. Congress

The Hon. James M. Inhofe

Washington, DC 20510

The Hon. James Lankford
316 Hart Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510

Gentlemen:

As a concerned constituent, I would like to express my concern over the apparent unconcern of the Congress for what is perhaps the greatest danger our nation has ever faced.  I refer, of course, to the dangers posed by the ever-increasing “invasion” of radical Islamists into our country.

Although there are approximately 1.4 billion Muslims on Earth, we are told that we should not be overly concerned because only about 5% of them are radicalized, hell-bent on killing as many non-Muslims… me and you and our families… as possible.  Of course, 5% of 1.4 billion comes to roughly 70 million terrorists and suicide bombers.  During World War II, the combined military forces of Germany, Japan, and Italy numbered only 34.1 million combatants.

In the years immediately following World War II, our principal internal security threat came from the international communist conspiracy, represented domestically by the Communist Party, USA.  It was the stated purpose of the communist conspiracy to seek the destruction of our constitutional republic through any means necessary, including force and violence.  In response, the U.S. Congress took appropriate steps to eradicate the clear and present danger posed by the communist conspiracy through passage of the Communist Control Act of 1954, outlawing communism in the United States.

But now, in the closing years of the 20th century and the early years of the 21st century, we find ourselves endangered internally by an enemy far more numerous and far more deadly than was posed by the presence of communists in our midst.  Yet, it appears as if the Congress prefers to take the politically correct approach to radical Islam, treating radical Islamists as if they are just another religious sect with First Amendment rights and privileges.

Islam is not a “religious denomination” in the generally accepted sense of the term.  Instead, it is a complete social, economic, legal, political, and military entity with a religious component.  As such, it does not merit First Amendment protections under the U.S. Constitution, and it cannot be allowed to impose itself as a protected political and religious institution within our borders.

As we see endless streams of Muslim “asylum seekers” crossing the Mediterranean from North Africa into Italy and Spain, and as we see hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of Muslims from Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and other Middle Eastern nations flooding across Eurasia, overrunning police and military forces of the invaded countries on their way to sanctuary in Western Europe, we know that we are witnessing the greatest human migration in history… a transmigration of cultures that is certain to devour Christianity, Judaism, and the richness of Western culture.  Unless we take steps to return the waves of Islamists, who kill and rape their way across civilized nations, to their own section of the Earth, none of what we have known as western civilization will exist a decade or two from now.  Just imagine the world that our children and grandchildren will inherit if we fail to take appropriate action now, while we still can.

What I suggest is that the Congress rewrite sections of the Communist Control Act of 1954, a statute that has not been overturned by the courts and is still in force, to read as follows:

SEC. 1. PURPOSE.  The Congress hereby finds and declares that certain organizations exist within our borders which, although purporting to be political or religious in nature, are in fact instrumentalities of foreign political or religious entities or ideologies whose purpose it is to overthrow the Government of the United States by any available means, including force and violence.  Such organizations operate as authoritarian dictatorships within our borders, demanding for themselves the rights and privileges generally accorded to all political parties and religious denominations, but denying to all others the liberties guaranteed to them by the U.S. Constitution. 

SEC. 2. PROSCRIBED ORGANIZATIONS.  Any political or religious organization as described herein, or any successors or affiliates of such organizations, regardless of the assumed name, whose object or purpose it is to overthrow the government of the United States, or to force the political or religious conversion of its people by force or violence, or threats thereof, are not entitled to any of the rights, privileges, and immunities attendant upon legal bodies created under the jurisdiction of the laws of the United States or its political subdivisions; and whatever rights, privileges, and immunities heretofore granted to said religious or political organizations, or any subsidiary or affiliate organizations, by reason of the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, are hereby rescinded:  Provided that nothing in this section shall be construed as amending the Internal Security Act of 1950, as amended.

My question is this:  If we could find the courage in 1954 to outlaw an ideology that sought only to convert us through political subversion, why can we not find the courage in 2015 to outlaw a foreign ideology that offers us only a choice between religious subservience and death… the ultimate Hobson’s Choice.  I would appreciate having your specific reactions to my concerns.  I would prefer not to have generic boilerplate responses prepared by staff members.

Respectfully,

Paul R. Hollrah
