“Red Handed”

Just this week, I came into possession of a blockbuster book by Peter Schweizer that deals with how many money hungry capitalists are helping the Chinese Communists to take over America. Impossible you say? Don’t kid yourself. It’s happening and Schweizer gives us the documentation to prove it.

Interestingly enough, Schweizer is not the first person to do this, but I think he is the first person in this current generation to do it. Back in the 1970s historian Antony Sutton wrote a book called “Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution.” Most people today have never heard of either Sutton or his book–except for a few of us old fogeys that have been around forever. Though it made a splash in the 70s it is now forgotten.

Schweizer deals with the same kind of activities that are going on right now and, actually, have not ceases for decades. You might say today that “None dare call it treason” and you would be right. And though they do not call it treason, that denial does not change the nature of this activity.

He quotes what Lenin said in the early days of the 20th century–“They (capitalists) will furnish credits which will serve us for the support of the Communist Party in their countries, and by supplying us materials and technical equipment which we lack, will restore our military industry necessary for our future attacks against our suppliers. To put it in other words, they will work on the preparation of their own suicide.

Schweizer noted that “While Lenin’s Soviet Union receded into the pages of history, the Leninist mentality is still a current event. And today on Wall Street, in Silicon Valley, and in Washington, too many play deaf, dumb, and blind while selling rope. And the buyer is Beijing…by ‘rope’ I am talking very specifically about technology, money, intelligence or even political support given to the communist regime. This rope enhances the military or strategic capabilities of Beijing, anything that enhances their position in competition with the United States.”

Supposedly, when we started dealing with Communist China, the idea was supposed to be to get them to be more like us. Needless to say it has not worked that way. If anything we have become more like them. This shows the utter futility of trying to deal rationally with Communists! And Schweizer observes that “China has not liberalized. It has become more aggressive and possessive. Yet those elites who advised us on such a course of action got fabulously wealthy along the way.” The old saying “Follow the money” still holds true. Many American elites have made big bucks selling out their country–and their only regret is that they didn’t make more on the deal. Schweizer comments that “The culpability of those elites in what we are experiencing today–`an increasingly powerful and aggressive China–cannot be over estimated.”

I will try to go more into Schweizer’s book as I am able. This article will give you a small taste of what he is doing. Later in the book, he starts naming names–some of which are very familiar. If at all possible get Schweizer’s book “Red Handed” and see who is busily selling us out for filthy lucre.
