Story that Must Be Told, Pt 5: A Marxist Shell Game
What is critical to note at this point is that after the war, these men would ALL go on to infiltrate American academia at its highest levels. One of them, Herbert Marcuse, who coined the phrase, ‘Make love, not war,’ would eventually become the guru of what was to be known as the radical New Left in the 1960’s (Think about that the next time you hear John Lennon sing “Imagine”). And, while all of this was going on, the Frankfurt School began to think about the post-war world, and what it might look like in the “perfect world.”
Finally, during this entire period, the “underground” soviet spy-network was greatly increased and, unfortunately for the U.S., remained in place long after the war ended. Hundreds of Soviet operatives worked under cover, and thanks to the incompetence of, for instance, unsophisticated military technicians like General Leslie Groves (who was in charge of developing the A-bomb) Soviet spies infiltrated American government and institutions at all levels. In fact, the ONLY reason the USSR was able to develop their atomic bomb in 1948 was because of the gigantic nest of spies inside the Manhattan Project. The details of all this are much too involved to go into in these pages, but available to anyone interested enough to look it up. Suffice it to say that the Marcuse/Adorno crowd did all that they could to undermine and radically transform European and American culture, before, during and after World War II, making Willi Muenzenburg’s pronouncement that, “We will make America stink,” prophetic.
So, how DO you make America stink? Well, one way is to crush Christianity and all of the institutions that have sprung up around it.
Next week: “Don’t Repress Me Bro.” We’ll find out why the Christianized West was the main obstacle to a “glorious” communist new world order. Reading it shall be mandatory!!!!!
