[quote=DODGER,305746]Those from the Left would have us believe that there was no threat and no subversion from the USSR after the War. In Australia and Britain the Communist parties there where funded and took their orders directly from Moscow. They denied it at the time. Their membership lists were kept a secret. One of Australia’s famous history writers has been revealed to have been a Communist party member. He was awarded the Order of Lenin. He denied receiving this order. They did actively try to infiltrate and control the Labour unions, Education and the entertainment industry. The have since moved on to the environment industry. They had infiltrated many parts of the US government as mentioned by Yinduffy with the stealing of the secrets to make a Bomb just one of the many cases to prove this point. It was clearly not a figment of McCarthy’s imagination. Hollywood is and was a place of Left leaning people. Jane Fonda comes to mind. She should have been sent to jail IMO. Berlin was situated in a part of Germany controlled by the USSR with access by road. The USSR cut this access forcing the Allies to supply the part of Berlin controlled by them by air. This blockade went on for six months until they realized that the West would not hand over their part of Berlin. Russia did not return to it’s borders after the War but forced it’s version of communism on half of Europe. Effectively creating one giant Gulag. They stayed for 50 years. Some of these countries did try to regain their freedom. These attempts were brutally suppressed. People joke now about the “Reds under the bed” phrase .No, not under the bed but in it. I have no problem with people holding different political views to my own. Many do. What I don’t like is someone holding a gun to my head. “I have no gun, but I can spit” Dodger. [/quote]
