foreign [Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the breakdown of Law and Order a chaotic reign of terror mob Rule and rioting the collapse of government Authority these phrases ring strange in the ears of Americans and for good reason Through The Years America has stood as the world symbol for Law and Order our government is responsive to the will of the people our courts and legislatures provide the Mechanics for a peaceful redress of grievances and the policeman on the corner has traditionally been looked upon as a friend not as the instrument of a tyrant Anarchy well that was something we read about in our newspapers that was always happening in other countries perhaps the people in other countries had just reasons to Riot against their governments after all many of the nations of the world are dictatorships in one form or another what business was it of ours anyway newsworthy perhaps but it could never happen here then in the summer of 1964 widespread rioting and looting suddenly broke out in Harlem in Rochester all within a few days of each other it was as though an unseen hand had given the signal then on August 18 1965 guns replaced night sticks in the hands of Law Enforcement Officers as the Watts area of Los Angeles literally burst into a cauldron of insurrection thousands of rioters roamed the streets both night and day smashing and looting and setting the torch to over 50 square miles of the city hidden snipers held police and firefighters at Bay as fires raged unabated at least 35 Americans died in the violence and gunfire the sheer magnitude of this monstrous Madness strained the abilities of the Civil Authorities and the California National Guard was sent to Watts with orders to quell the violence with Brute Force if necessary the spectacle of American soldiers shooting it out with American civilians was even more shocking than the rioting itself the nation was stunned and horrified no smugness now this time it wasn't a foreign country this time it was Anarchy USA the degree of communist influence in these riots has been subject of much discussion and controversy for a solution to this controversy let's review the events of recent years both at home and abroad in light of the Communists own plans for World Conquest a communist disdain to conceal their views and aims they openly declare that their ends can only be attained by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions the most powerful enemy can be conquered only by exerting the utmost effort and by thoroughly carefully attentively and skewfully taking advantage of even the smallest Rift of every antagonism of Interest among the various groups or types within the various countries divide the people split them into quarreling factions fighting among themselves rather than their common enemy this is the comrade's first rule for the conquest of any country for well do they know from long experience that the nation so divided and weakened can be easily conquered from within finding the point upon which to divide the people of China and create a Revolution was comparatively simple the Chinese for centuries had been principally tillers of the soil eking a meager livelihood from land they did not always own and for which they paid tribute to landlords who generally had large Holdings strong backs and legs were requisite to survival for the great masses Who provided the power for China's limited and primitive industry and agrarian economy a new regime promised reforms but the Communists were not interested in reform they were dedicated to Revolution because of the dissension and sabotage created by the insurrectionists and the reticence of some of the landlords and Merchants to change the established Traditions the reforms were slow in coming and so the rich and well-to-do were inclined to stay rich and well to do and a lot of the poor fared only slightly better and a minority of the Chinese peasants accepted the idea so subtly planted and avidly nurtured by the communist leaders the so-called enemy of the people had been identified it was the landlord he was the cause of the misery and Injustice and so the point of division for the Chinese people was established in Cuba a land accustomed to crisis in government and the decrees of dictators full hensio Batista headed a regime that was the least tyrannical Cuba had known for several decades Rising levels of Education culture industry and commerce were enabling the people to enjoy the highest standards of living in all Latin and South America corruption in government there was but no more than was to be found in many cities in the United States Fidel Castro a young well-trained communist revolutionary with much experience seized upon the issue of corruption in government as he undertook the creation of his Revolution it was the government said Castro the government was responsible for the problems and oppression felt by the people it was the dictator and his followers it was the batistianos they were the enemy in Cuba as in all countries there were the poor and the poorly educated who labored in the fields Castro promised agrarian reform which focused the discontent of the rural community upon the latifundista they too were the enemy and so the Communists experts at fomenting discontent began to split the population into quarreling factions setting Cuban against Cuban Algeria is a creation of the French before the French came to the land now known as Algeria it was nothing more than a conglomerate of Warring tribes their constant fighting among themselves for the best pasture land each spring and the best barley land each Autumn kept the native population of the area at about 1 million five hundred thousand for 14 centuries today after little more than 100 Years of French rule the population of Algeria stands at about 9 million under French Dominion the Algerian nation grew and prospered the two cultures of Islam and Christianity were working together to create a good life in the early 1930s the dissident voice of the Communist Was Heard among the people at first it whispered the Algerian nation is not France cannot be France and does not wish to be France Independence is the natural right of all peoples as the seeds of disunity began to germinate the dissident Voice Was Heard more loudly to Proclaim Islam is my religion Arabic is my language Algeria is my Fatherland and so too in Algeria were the issues that were to divide the people clearly defined it was to be Muslim against Christian Arab against European Algeria against France the enemy was personified as the cologne with phase one that of dividing the population completed the revolutionists were ready to move into phase two of the Communist blueprint for takeover create the appearance of popular support in every country now part of the red slave Empire the actual number of Communist party members at the time of takeover has been less than one percent of the total population as Lenin phrased it communism must be built with non-communist hands by cleverly beguiling thousands of well-intentioned people into one-wittingly supporting the Revolutionary program the dedicated one percent can trick the 99 into surrendering their Birthright this they do by hiding the true communist objectives behind appealing slogans and pretended humanitarian goals as Stalin explained the Revolutionary accepts reform in order to use it as a cover for his illegal work in China the propaganda Mills were active in championing Mao's agrarian reform the propagandists portrayed in Vivid detail the hardships and injustices of the Chinese peasant the Communists popularized the slogan land to the tiller Mao Zedong exclaimed we are not striving for the social and political communism of Russia rather we prefer to think of what we are doing as something Lincoln fought for in the Civil War The Liberation of slaves in the United States those books which praised Mao zeitung as non-communist and an agrarian reformer were advocated reading and some even became book club selections it was later revealed that many of the pro-communist books and articles were written and reviewed in this country by Communists the American people unaware of the treachery were conditioned to accept the enslavement of China's Millions Cubans rallied around the slogan Patria omuerte but perhaps the most widely used slogan was the one later to be used in Haiti and Venezuela and still later in English in the United States Ben ceramos We Shall Overcome early in the revolution Fidel Castro sought to reassure the people of the true nature of the uprising I have said very clearly that we are not Communists our Revolution is a humanistic one the Press of the world sang the Praises of Fidel Castro many eulogized him as the savior of Cuba in the United States Castro was referred to as the Robin Hood of the Sierra maistra that he pursued the same policy of taking from the rich and giving to the poor the nation's press was quick to report this is not a Communist Revolution in any sense of the word and there are no Communists in position of control the only Power worth considering in Cuba is in the hands of Premier Castro who is not only not communist but decidedly anti-communist and so the Cubans and the Americans and the rest of the world were reassured that there was no Infidel in Fidel in Algeria more land was owned by Muslims than was owned by the Europeans yet the propagandists claimed that the poor Muslims were being oppressed by the wealthy European landowners the call was for Muslim Unity it was oppression Colonial oppression the Muslims were to fight it was to be a holy war in God's cause the insurrectionists declared that algerians were an oppressed people living under a tyrannical colonial government and therefore their Revolt was a war of liberation since all algerians held full French citizenship both Muslim and Christian majorities regarded the idea of Liberation as ridiculous Ahmed Ben Bella leader of the revolutionists and four companions were arrested by the French and confined as political prisoners benbella later escaped to Cairo where he and others set about the task of convincing France the world and the algerians that Algeria needed to be liberated then started a systematic reign of terror designed to intimidate the Muslims into going along with the Liberation movement this book was published by the French army in an attempt to alert the free peoples of the world as to the true methods employed by the communist-led insurrectionists the atrocity shown here were perpetrated upon the Muslims by Ben Bella's Rebels parading under the banner of the National Liberation Front or fln men women and even children came under this merciless Scourge in the name of freedom we would never have brought these documents to the notice of public opinion had the torturers not chosen to depict themselves as victims had the criminals not been transmuted into accusers and that is exactly the way it appeared to the world the French army was accused of police brutality the Godless revolutionaries were depicted as liberators the Insurrection was described as a popular and spontaneous uprising of the people so effective was the programming of this big lie that some of the world's leading citizens were led to give Aid and comfort to the enemy that plans to conquer the world I am today introducing a resolution which I believe outlined the best hope for peace and settlement in Algeria it urges in brief that the president and the Secretary of State be strongly encouraged to place the influence of the United States behind efforts either through the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to the good officers of the Prime Minister of Tunisia Sultan of Morocco to establish the basis for a settlement of an independent personality of Algeria interdependent to France and the neighboring Nation I believe this to be a vital importance to us [Applause] this photo was taken October 15 1962 in Washington D.C and carried the following caption Premiere Ahmed binbella of Algeria and President Kennedy stand as benbella receives full military honors shortly after his arrival today for talks with the chief executive benbella is expected to thank Kennedy for having called for Algerian Independence as far back as 1957. after receiving full military honors at the White House Ben Bella visited fellow revolutionary Fidel Castro before returning to Algeria in April of 1964 Americans read in their newspaper far more important facts are that Premier benbella though very much a dictator is not a communist one month later in May of 1964 benbella was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize in Moscow two months later in July 1964 communist benbella declared we solemnly reply here that our socialism stems from Islam we repeat before World opinion that we are not communists after the Communists have found some issue or point of difference upon which they can divide the people get them fighting among themselves rather than their common enemy the next step is to create the appearance of popular support for the Communists war of National Liberation they have been devastatingly successful thus far yet in one country after another there have been alert informed individuals who saw the signs recognize the patterns of conquest and raised their voices to warn the people against just such a contingency the Communists developed the third phase of their blueprint for world domination neutralize the opposition we can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate revulsion and Scorn toward those who disagree with us a Communist Party directive issued in 1943 reads members and front organizations must continually embarrass this credit and degrade our critics when obstructionists become too irritating label them as fascist or Nazi or anti-Semitic constantly associate those who oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell the association will after enough repetition become facts in the public mind in China the formula worked well the word landlord became almost an invective those who worked for the government were looked upon as grafters the government under Chiang Kai-shek was reviled as an enemy of the people a fascist tool of the ruling class those who refuse to support The Agrarian reformers were subject to surprise visits from roving Guerrilla bands the pattern was the same in Cuba those who were less than enthusiastic about Castro's reform were effectively branded as Batista followers the man who spoke up against the Revolt was labeled as a counter-revolutionary algerians who saw through the fraud and endeavored to warn the nation or their neighbors were vilified as extremists colonialists racists fascists torture death and the fear of torture and death were also most effective weapons against those who might resist the tyrannical takeover the number of atrocities committed in the name of Freedom upon the Muslim people averaged nearly 20 per day for every day of every month for seven years the next step in the Communist strategy is the most easily recognized for it consists of the tactic of getting masses into motion and thus precipitating mob violence Master psychologists that they are the Communists know that once the masses are in the streets it's not too difficult to convert an orderly demonstration into a full-scale riot they know too that when rioting occurs police and military forces of the government must move to restore Law and Order and thus they have the first visible signs of revolution riots demonstrations Street battles detachments of a revolutionary Army such are the stages in the development of the popular Uprising the official Constitution and program of the Communist Party stated in 1921 the Communist Party will educate and organize the working masses for Mass strikes and mass demonstrations it is through struggles that the working masses are prepared for the final Conflict for power as these strikes grow in number and intensity they acquire political character through unavoidable collision and open combat with the capitalistic State mass action culminates in Insurrection and Civil War in 1964 a communist document taken from the Viet Cong stated get the people out into the streets quarrels should be provoked youth groups are to be armed with knives and clubs allegedly to protect themselves in a manufactured tension in China as in all countries the Communist appeal was aimed primarily at students young idealistic intellectuals most of whom came from wealthy families who could afford to send them to school it was from this group that the young communist recruits came who later provided the leadership and backbone for the armed conflict to follow in Cuba leftist-oriented students were the Vanguard of the organized Street demonstrations once the masses were in motion that tenuous line between demonstration and Riot between non-violence and violence was easily obliterated as Law Enforcement Officers sought to restore order police brutality became the Cry of the insurgents Algeria was more of the same rallies demonstrations marches and the inevitable flare of violence the invariable charges of police brutality were hurled as efforts were made to maintain Law and Order when marches and demonstrations turn into riots in any country slated for takeover the Communists are then ready to implement the final stage of their blueprint for Conquest it takes only a handful of armed opportunists criminals and Savages to create the semblance of revolution only Insurrection can guarantee the victory of the revolution the purpose of insurrection must be not only the complete destruction or removal of all local authorities and the replacement by new but also the expulsion of the landlords and the seizure of the lands nationalist forces had long been fighting the communist-inspired insurrectionists of Mao seitung when the Japanese invaded the mainland of China with the end of World War II and the defeat of the Japanese the United States pressured Chang into forming a coalition government with the Communists through a coerced truce and enforced arms embargo the U.S disarmed more than 30 divisions of Chiang kai-shek's nationalist troops on the other hand the Chinese Communists fell heir to all the arms left by the defeated Japanese and with the help of added armaments from Russia Mao was soon able to ride in Triumph throughout China and give 400 million Chinese agrarian reform communist Style when it was time for the shooting to begin in Cuba Fidel Castro received millions of dollars in cash and vast amounts of arms and ammunition from the Soviet Union and communist groups throughout the Western Hemisphere at The crucial time in Castro's bid for power the United States state department declared an arms embargo against Batista's government refusing to deliver even the arms that had already been paid for and were awaiting shipment yet on the other hand revolutionary sympathizers were delivering men arms and ammunition to Castro daily from the United States and so the Abraham Lincoln of Cuba and the Robin Hood of the Sierra Maestra rode triumphantly into Havana was wined and dined in the United States was hugged before the United Nations received the Lenin Peace Prize and finally admitted in a speech given December 2nd 1961 to all the world I am a Marxist leninist and will be until the day I die in Algeria benbella's Rebels were fighting their war of Liberation with guns and ammunitions sent to them through Tunisia and Morocco by the communist Bloc countries and just as the Revolution was coming to a head a slight change in the overall strategy was instituted in 1958 Francis president Charles de Gaulle came to Algeria declaring without stretched arms I have understood you I declare that from this day forward France considers that in the whole of Algeria there is only one category of inhabitants that there are only Frenchmen in the full sense [ __ ] called for the people to vote on the question of Independence for Algeria and the majority voted to remain French citizens an integral part of France de Gaulle said three and a half million men and women have cast their votes of confidence this is a fact that commits France and Algeria to each other for all time two years later in 1960 the same French president Charles de Gaulle Was Heard to ridicule the frenchization of the algerians and to talk of an Algerian Algeria it didn't take the leaders of the army of Liberation long to change the talk of an Algerian Algeria into slogans demanding a Muslim Algeria ultimately the Revolutionary benbella returned to Algeria and in due course established a regime of which he said we solemnly reply here that our socialism stems from Islam we repeat before World opinion that we are not communists and so it has been with but minor variations in one country after another divide the people create the appearance of popular support neutralize the opposition precipitate mob violence create the semblance of a revolution an accurate summary of Lenin's strategy for the conquest of the world is as follows first we will take Eastern Europe next the masses of Asia then we shall encircle the last Bastion of capitalism the United States of America we will not have to attack it will fall like over-ripe fruit into our hands by October of 1950 all of Eastern Europe was securely locked behind the Iron Curtain by the summer of 1954 the greater part of Asia had fallen to the Kremlin strategy and tactics and each year more Nations lose their sovereignty to Marxist intrigues or degenerate into Soviet Satellites as communism hastens to complete the encirclement of the last Bastion of capitalism and what of the United States how goes the battle in the land of the free and the home of the brave
