1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: The following presentation is Del Marvis Studio's production.

2
00:00:08,359 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: You are listening to the Fact Hunter Radio Network. Here

3
00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:15,359
is your host, George Hobbs.

4
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 3: Welcome back truth seekers from around the world. We are

5
00:00:19,879 --> 00:00:22,640
back after a week vacation. I hope you all have

6
00:00:22,839 --> 00:00:27,239
been well. I'd like to say it was nice and relaxing,

7
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,719
but we spent to be honest, we spent much of

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,159
last week just cleaning up from the last storm. And

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,679
as I sit here today it's about noon Eastern time

10
00:00:36,799 --> 00:00:40,600
on this Monday, March the sixteenth, we're under the thread

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,159
of more storms and heavy winds, and we'll see what happens.

12
00:00:45,439 --> 00:00:47,840
You know, hope for the best, prepare for the worst,

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,840
as they say. But all is well. We had a

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,280
nice weekend. We had a great service at church yesterday.

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,799
I had the opportunity to lead Sunday School and was

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,960
officially named an elder yesterday. And we have a lot

17
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:02,200
of big news coming this weekend, but I'll save that

18
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,560
for tomorrow's episode. Tonight, it's been a while since we've

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,000
done a classic audio series, and we're stepping back to

20
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,719
nineteen fifty eight, almost seventy years ago, and obviously one

21
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,200
of the older classic audios that we have done. This

22
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,920
is at the height of the quote unquote Cold War.

23
00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:28,439
Right the Soviet Union had only recently launched Sputnick, the

24
00:01:28,519 --> 00:01:32,400
tensions between East and West were rising, and of course

25
00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:36,799
many Americans were deeply concerned about the spread of communism

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
around the world. Now, the voice you're about to hear

27
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,280
for the next two hours is Robert Welch. He is

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,920
the founder of the John Birch Society. In this speech,

29
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,879
he lays out what he believed was a long ranged

30
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:56,319
strategy that was designed to gradually reshape the United States

31
00:01:56,319 --> 00:02:00,680
from within. And we've heard these warnings from many truthers

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,760
throughout the last fifty years, whether it be Bill Cooper,

33
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,519
Fritz Springmeer, on and on and on right now again,

34
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,039
whether one agrees with his conclusions or not, the recording

35
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,000
itself is really a fascinating snapshot of the political climate

36
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,439
seventy years ago. And it's interesting listening to this voice

37
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:23,400
from seventy years ago, how much of it has obviously

38
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:30,719
come true When you listen, pay attention how he connects economics,

39
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,080
government policy. Education is something we talk about often and

40
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,319
public opinion into a broader theory about how societies can

41
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,919
be changed slowly over time.

42
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:43,319
Speaker 1: Right.

43
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: We always talking about boiling the frog, right, So sit back,

44
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,919
listen and enjoy. This is Robert Welch in nineteen fifty

45
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,680
eight explaining what he believed was the long range plan

46
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,479
to transform this country again. Plastic Audio. Tomorrow is a

47
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,639
regular episode of the Fact Hunter. I have a bonus

48
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,159
classic audio for you on Wednesday, and then this Thursday

49
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:12,319
I will be on Joe Harper's podcast, so look.

50
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:13,199
Speaker 1: Out for that. Everybody.

51
00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:17,439
Speaker 3: Enjoy tonight's classic audio.

52
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 4: And now, ladies and gentlemen, we come to the real

53
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,159
substance of this evening's program. Mister Welsh is going to

54
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:31,439
deliver a speech in two parts. The first part of

55
00:03:31,479 --> 00:03:34,080
that speech is a condensation of the blue Book, entitled

56
00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:37,759
fifteen years Ago, exactly as it was delivered at the

57
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,560
fifteenth Birthday dinner of the John Birsch Society in New

58
00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:44,919
York on December seventh, nineteen seventy three. Then the second

59
00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:48,159
and shorter part of mister Welsh's total speech is entitled

60
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:52,960
and fifteen years Ahead. It will round out the total

61
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,680
presentation which he has epitomized under the heading in one Generation.

62
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,599
To give you the proper setting for this dramatic offering.

63
00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:04,000
We are going to call on mister William J. Grady,

64
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:07,599
who for a great many years was president and then

65
00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:10,919
chairman of the board of Grady Foundries, a highly successful

66
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,120
business with eight plants today, which he established over fifty

67
00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:19,160
years ago. At one time he was also both president

68
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:23,839
and then chairman of the J. I. Case Company, which

69
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:28,000
is one of our country's very sizable corporate industries. Mister

70
00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:31,120
Grady is a former president and then chairman of the

71
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,480
Board of the National Association of Manufacturers and a former

72
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:39,759
President of the National Council of YMCA's of the United States.

73
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:44,560
But today, being as near to total retirement from business

74
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,639
responsibilities as a man of his dynamic character can become,

75
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,279
mister Grady is and for many years has been chairman

76
00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:55,519
of the Executive Committee of the John Birch Society. What's more,

77
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,959
mister Grady was himself present at the founding meeting of

78
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,240
the Society in in Indianapolis on December eight and nine

79
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,800
of nineteen fifty eight. We are also pleased to have

80
00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:08,600
some others from that founding meeting at our head tables

81
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:11,959
here tonight. We have asked mister Grady to set the

82
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,519
stage for the first part of mister Welsh's speech. So

83
00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:17,959
it is my great pleasure to present to you a

84
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,519
truly wonderful American, mister William J.

85
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: Grady, Ladies and gentlemen. Having known and admired my friend

86
00:05:42,079 --> 00:05:47,120
Bob for more than ten years before the founding of

87
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:53,360
the John Birch Society, this is an opportunity, and I

88
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,519
might say, a temptation to use more time than is

89
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,680
allotted to me to enter this really good friend and

90
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,680
great patriot. But my function here tonight is to ask

91
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:14,199
you to join us as stage properties. If you wish

92
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:21,040
to a performance of fifteen years ago, we want you

93
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,680
to go back in your minds to the outlook at

94
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:31,839
that time and in that mood, to constitute yourselves as

95
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:37,000
the eleven men of whom I was one who sat

96
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:42,560
and listened for two full days to an exposition of

97
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,360
what was happening to our country and what was going

98
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:53,319
to happen unless we woke up and did enough about it.

99
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,959
This meeting was at the home of Miss Margarete Dice

100
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,480
in Indianapolis. A picture of her home is on your program.

101
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,920
As you look at this picture, the front right hand

102
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,680
corner is the living room where our two day session occurred.

103
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:25,680
Of the seventeen men that were originally invited, eleven had accepted,

104
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,839
and every one of those eleven showed up, despite the

105
00:07:31,959 --> 00:07:36,800
fact that the weather was about the nastiest and sleetest

106
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:43,480
that December can produce, and both major airlines which served

107
00:07:43,519 --> 00:07:49,519
Indianapolis were on strike. Not one of us had ever

108
00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:54,800
met or even seen Miss Dice before, nor had mister Weld,

109
00:07:56,199 --> 00:07:59,920
although he and she had become very good friends by

110
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:06,920
mail because of her outstanding patriotic efforts, and on learning

111
00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:11,639
about the proposed meeting, she had volunteered her home in

112
00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:18,319
hospitality for the group. Incidentally, Miss Dice, with her very

113
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,160
friendly servants taking care of the coffee breaks and luncheons

114
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:27,319
and other needs of hospitality, and with her own chair

115
00:08:27,519 --> 00:08:30,680
drawn up out of sight of the group in the

116
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,799
corridor just around the corner from the door of her

117
00:08:33,879 --> 00:08:38,360
living room, had listened to most of the whole two

118
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,879
day discussion without any of us being aware of it,

119
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,360
and she was not favorably impressed. As she told mister

120
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:52,600
Welsh on taking him to his plane Wednesday morning, she

121
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:57,759
did not think that anybody would ever stand still for

122
00:08:57,799 --> 00:09:03,279
the thoroughness with which we tended to examine every problem.

123
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,600
Within two or three years, however, she had completely changed

124
00:09:08,639 --> 00:09:12,399
her mind and had become an ardent life member of

125
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,879
the society for the rest of her day. Mister Welsh

126
00:09:17,919 --> 00:09:23,080
had arrived on Sunday, so by Monday morning he and

127
00:09:23,159 --> 00:09:27,360
Miss Dice had borrowed from the local church a full

128
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,200
sized podium and had set it up in one corner

129
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,759
of her living room. It'd also arranged all of the

130
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:38,960
chairs and sofas for exactly where each of us was

131
00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:44,240
to sit at nine forty five that Monday morning. Therefore,

132
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:49,200
when everybody had arrived despite the weather, and had been

133
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:54,919
duly seated, the meeting got underway. Or, as your editor

134
00:09:54,960 --> 00:10:00,600
puts it, a trembling boy fifty eight years old, having

135
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,919
screwed up his courage to the requirements of this ordeal,

136
00:10:04,879 --> 00:10:09,840
went to the podium and installed himself immovably from behind

137
00:10:09,879 --> 00:10:17,840
it for two days. This is the nearest Bob said

138
00:10:17,919 --> 00:10:20,480
that he ever came to being a preacher of the Gospel,

139
00:10:20,799 --> 00:10:24,000
although he had taught the Bible classes in college for

140
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,879
over forty years before. In any event, he was still

141
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,799
wondering what would be the reaction of these extremely busy

142
00:10:32,879 --> 00:10:36,519
men to what they were going to hear after having

143
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:41,919
committed themselves to two full days plus travel time to

144
00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:46,799
come and hear it, but with all practical escape now

145
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:53,679
cut off, Bob Welsh finally plunged into that marathon monologue

146
00:10:53,879 --> 00:10:57,919
on which he'd been working during most of October and November,

147
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,159
and which eventually was to become the Blue Book of

148
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,840
the John Birch Society. You are going to hear that

149
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:13,559
monologue tonight, compressed into about one tenth of its former volume.

150
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,559
But this condensation has been accomplished by a very careful

151
00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:24,960
selection and pulling together of phrases and sentences from the

152
00:11:25,039 --> 00:11:31,240
original text so as to carry the main thread of

153
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:37,279
thought from the beginning to the end. Now, naturally, a

154
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:42,120
great deal of the documentation, background and explanation with regard

155
00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:45,639
to many of the point will have to be omitted.

156
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,639
The fact that there have been such omissions will be

157
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,159
indicated by Bob by an occasional aside during the first

158
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,080
two or three minutes of his speed, but after that

159
00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:02,240
he will assume that you are taking them for granted,

160
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:09,639
But no transitional or connection phrases or sentences will will

161
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,000
have been added at any point. This is from the

162
00:12:14,039 --> 00:12:18,799
original textive. So we ask you to keep constantly in

163
00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:23,559
mind that all of the statesmens you hear were made

164
00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:28,799
fifteen years ago, and that every one of them is

165
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:35,200
verbatim from the original presentation. So now we again ask

166
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:40,480
you to remember or imagine that you are an audience

167
00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:46,039
of eleven men sitting in a living room in Indianapolis

168
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:51,240
on December eighth and ninth of nineteen fifty eight, and

169
00:12:51,399 --> 00:13:25,919
listening to mister Robert Well. Hm.

170
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 5: Gentlemen, let me welcome you to Indianapolis. All of you,

171
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,519
I believe are already aware of my appreciation for your

172
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:42,080
being here. At this point there's an omission of five lines.

173
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,720
But each of you also felt that you would not

174
00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:48,559
have been asked to give up everything else and come

175
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,639
to this meeting and then to listen to my voice

176
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,960
off and on for so much of the two days

177
00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:57,879
unless I had some very serious matters to put before

178
00:13:57,919 --> 00:14:04,039
you and proposals to this discuss. Frankly, the matters are serious,

179
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,480
and the proposals are far reaching, so much so that

180
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:13,120
just their presentation makes me feel solemnly humble at the

181
00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:19,080
size of the task envisioned for. Increasingly, before tomorrow is over,

182
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,360
I hope to have all of you feeling that you

183
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,960
are taking part here and now in the beginning of

184
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:32,240
the movement of historical importance. But long journeys start with

185
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,720
easy steps, and our first step should be to identify

186
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,720
our fellow travelers. No pun intended. Many of you are

187
00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:44,399
known to each other, but some are not. So let me,

188
00:14:44,559 --> 00:14:47,919
as informally as possible, introduce each one to the group.

189
00:14:48,799 --> 00:14:52,960
This was then done, and here we also omit one page.

190
00:14:53,639 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: Our immediate and.

191
00:14:55,039 --> 00:14:58,799
Speaker 5: Most urgent anxiety, of course, is the threat of the

192
00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:03,799
commonest conspiracy, and well it should be for both internationally

193
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,720
and within the United States. The Commonists are much further

194
00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:12,679
advanced and more deeply entrenched than is realized by even

195
00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:16,519
most of the serious students of the danger among the

196
00:15:16,559 --> 00:15:21,759
anti Commonists. I personally have been studying the problem increasingly

197
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,320
for about nine years, and practically full time for the

198
00:15:26,399 --> 00:15:32,480
past three years, and entirely without pride, but in simple thankfulness,

199
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,440
let me point out that a lifetime of business experience

200
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,320
should have made it easier for me to see the

201
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:44,200
falsity of the economic theories on which communism is supposedly based,

202
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,320
to see them more readily than might some scholar coming

203
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,799
into that study from the academic clusters. While a lifetime

204
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,960
of interest in things academic, especially world history, should have

205
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:02,279
given me an advantage over many businessmen in more readily

206
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:08,159
seeing the sophistries in dialectic materialism. So I have felt,

207
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,759
rightly or wrongly, that my grasp of Communist purposes and

208
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,960
even of their methods, should have been more rapid than

209
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,600
that of some of my patriotic friends who have gradually

210
00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:23,639
become staunch anti Commonists. Yet almost every day I run

211
00:16:23,679 --> 00:16:27,159
into some whole new area where the Communists have been

212
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:32,960
penetrating and working quietly for years, until now they are

213
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,919
in virtual control of everything.

214
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,559
Speaker 1: That is done in that slice or corner of our

215
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,320
national life.

216
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 5: Again an omission of one page, but as background for

217
00:16:44,799 --> 00:16:48,440
our further discussion, I'm going to ask for your patients

218
00:16:49,039 --> 00:16:51,960
while I make a much more general review with you

219
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,000
of how far the international conspiracy as a whole has

220
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:02,360
now gone and where we stand today now amid twelve lines,

221
00:17:02,399 --> 00:17:06,039
and from here on I must simply quote extracts, sometimes

222
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:09,920
many pages apart, without giving you the background to which

223
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,920
they belong. Are calling your attention to the size of

224
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,440
our jumps ahead. But we do ask you again in

225
00:17:16,519 --> 00:17:20,279
order to avoid confusion, please to remember that all of

226
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:24,720
those lines were written and then spoken in the fall

227
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:30,799
of nineteen fifty eight. Section one look at the score.

228
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,839
Throughout all history, the barrel of bad news has been

229
00:17:35,839 --> 00:17:39,960
a most unpopular person. So I certainly am not seeking

230
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,480
any garlands of popularity at present, for the truth I

231
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:49,000
bring you is simple, incontrovertible, and deadly. It is that

232
00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:53,720
we are living in America today in such a fool's paradise,

233
00:17:54,519 --> 00:17:57,039
as the people of China lived in twenty years ago,

234
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,039
as the people of Czechoslovakia lived in a dozen years ago,

235
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,480
and as the people of Iraq lived in only yesterday,

236
00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:10,480
And as George Santayana so brilliantly pointed out, those who

237
00:18:10,519 --> 00:18:14,359
will learn nothing from history are condemned to repeat it.

238
00:18:16,039 --> 00:18:19,839
Lenin died in nineteen twenty four, but before he died,

239
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,200
he had laid down for his followers the strategy for

240
00:18:23,279 --> 00:18:28,119
this conquest. It has been paraphrased and summarized as followers.

241
00:18:28,599 --> 00:18:33,440
First we will take Eastern Europe, next the masses of Asia.

242
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,000
Then we shall encircle the last bastion of capitalism, the

243
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,519
United States of America. We shall not have to attack

244
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,640
it will fall like overripe fruit into our hands. To

245
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:51,119
make doubly clear what he meant and how firmly he

246
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,240
meant it. With regard to taking Asia ahead of Western

247
00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:59,279
Europe and then using Asia as a stepping stone and

248
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,920
base from which to conquer Western Europe and the rest

249
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:07,160
of the world. The strategy was also stated that for

250
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,759
the Commonists, the road to Paris led through Peking and Calcutta.

251
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,359
Today you can easily see how that road to Paris

252
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,519
is leading back from Peking through Calcutter, Cairo, Damascus, Baghdad

253
00:19:19,599 --> 00:19:24,119
and Algiers. Now, gentlemen, there are many remarkable things about

254
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,480
that three step strategy, but the most remarkable is that

255
00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:32,279
the Commonists have never wavered from it one iota. They

256
00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:36,079
have used the philosophy of socialism as an ideological weapon

257
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,079
in this struggle whenever they could and for whatever it

258
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:45,720
was worth. But they've also used bribery, lies, blood, brutality,

259
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,319
the countless tentacles of treason, murder on a scale never

260
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,279
before dreamed of in the world, and every possible means

261
00:19:54,319 --> 00:19:58,480
to advance them on this road without the slightest concern

262
00:19:58,599 --> 00:20:03,440
for any moral difference in those various means, and above

263
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,599
all they have used.

264
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: Patients a patient.

265
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,759
Speaker 5: Gradualism has been the most important key to the Commonist's

266
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:19,000
overwhelming success, and in October nineteen fifty Stalin's lack Is

267
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:23,319
formalized their puppet state of East Germany. By this time,

268
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,039
of course, there were other takeovers going on in other

269
00:20:26,079 --> 00:20:28,920
parts of the world, as we shall see, but we

270
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,920
are dealing here only with Europe, and East Germany finished

271
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,640
the job there as it had been planned by Lenin

272
00:20:35,759 --> 00:20:40,839
twenty six years before. The Communists now had Eastern Europe entire,

273
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,079
and the first step of their three step program was complete.

274
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:51,000
Next was Asia. Actually, the anti communist position is crumbling

275
00:20:51,079 --> 00:20:54,359
rapidly everywhere in Asia. If you will look at a

276
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,640
map of Asia with all of these countries properly shaded, I.

277
00:20:57,559 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: Think you will agree with me in my estimate the

278
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,319
Communist progress.

279
00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 5: It is that they have already gone three fourths of

280
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,880
the way towards the completion of the second step in

281
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,799
their three part program. Now let's consider the rest of

282
00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:17,920
the world. It is with the benefit of this realistic background, therefore,

283
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,200
that I venture.

284
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,559
Speaker 1: To offer the following opinion.

285
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 5: It is that the Commonists, through long and careful and

286
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,079
insidious preparation have already gone at least one fourth of

287
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,799
the way towards the accomplishment of their third and final step,

288
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,759
which is taking over this country and with it, of course,

289
00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:39,519
the rest of the world. Now one plus three fourths

290
00:21:39,519 --> 00:21:42,039
plus one fourth adds up to two out of that

291
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,039
total of three. And not to believe that the Communists

292
00:21:46,039 --> 00:21:49,119
are already two thirds of the way towards carrying out

293
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,720
their total program, or that they are not now moving

294
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:56,240
at an accelerated pace and with increased momentum to finish

295
00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:59,880
the job is to close your eyes to the plain facts,

296
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,359
as surely as did the good people of Czechoslovakia in

297
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:08,319
nineteen forty eight, and with the same ultimately fatal results.

298
00:22:09,599 --> 00:22:12,799
Now please note, gentlemen, that the Commonists have never made

299
00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:16,559
any of this immense progress by the direct use of force.

300
00:22:17,559 --> 00:22:22,400
They have beguiled Chinese into fighting Chinese, Koreans into fighting Koreans,

301
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,599
Vietnamese into fighting the French and each other, the Israelis,

302
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,720
British and French into fighting Egyptians, the Algerians into fighting

303
00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:34,440
the French. They have even maneuvered Americans into fighting Chinese

304
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,799
Commonists in Korea, with the Americans hands.

305
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:38,839
Speaker 1: Tied behind their backs.

306
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 5: But not one Russian regiment has ever taken part in

307
00:22:42,759 --> 00:22:47,079
any of this imperialistic advance, except for the suppression of

308
00:22:47,839 --> 00:22:53,400
rebellion in already conquered territory, as in Hungary. There are

309
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,720
three possible methods by which the Commonists might take us over.

310
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,680
One would be by a peaceful couta tar, as in

311
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,799
Czecho Slovakia in nineteen forty eight. The second method would

312
00:23:03,799 --> 00:23:07,799
be by fomenting civil war in this country and aiding

313
00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:11,480
the common ast side with military might. But there is

314
00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:15,680
a third method which they are clearly relying on most heavily,

315
00:23:16,319 --> 00:23:19,480
and this is taking us over by a process so

316
00:23:19,599 --> 00:23:24,000
gradual and insidious that communist rule is slipped over so

317
00:23:24,279 --> 00:23:28,839
far on the American people before they ever realize it

318
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,440
is happening. The process in that direction is going on

319
00:23:32,599 --> 00:23:36,279
right now, gradually but surely, and with ever increasing spread

320
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,599
and speed. A part of that plan, of course, is

321
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,799
to induce the gradual surrender of American sovereignty, peace by peace,

322
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,960
and step by step to various international organizations, of which

323
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,799
the United Nations is the outstanding but far from the

324
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,880
only example. For another part is the conversion of the

325
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,920
United States into a socialist nation quite similar to Russia

326
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,599
itself in its economy and political outlook, before police state

327
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,559
enforcement is ever introduced. The best way to explain the

328
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,480
aim here is simply to quote the directive under which

329
00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:19,240
some of the very largest American foundations have been secretly

330
00:24:19,319 --> 00:24:24,079
but visibly working for years. This directive is so to

331
00:24:24,319 --> 00:24:28,599
change the economic and political structure of the United States

332
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,599
that it can be comfortably merged with Soviet Russia. A.

333
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:38,839
Here are the communist aims for the United States. One

334
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:44,680
greatly expanded government spending for every conceivable means of getting

335
00:24:45,079 --> 00:24:49,960
rid of ever larger sums of American money as wastefully

336
00:24:50,279 --> 00:24:56,480
as possible. Two higher and then much higher taxes. Three

337
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:04,000
an increasingly unbalanced budget fight the higher taxes. Four wild

338
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:10,480
inflation of our currency. Five government controls of prices, wages,

339
00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:18,119
and materials, supposedly to combat inflation. Six Greatly increased socialistic

340
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,680
controls over every operation of our economy and every activity

341
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,319
of our daily lives. This is to be accompanied naturally

342
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,759
and automatically by a correspondingly huge increase in the size

343
00:25:30,759 --> 00:25:34,000
of our bureaucracy and in both the cost and reach

344
00:25:34,519 --> 00:25:40,640
of our domestic government. Seven far more centralization of power

345
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,680
in Washington, and the practical elimination of our state lines.

346
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,400
There is a many faceted drive at work to have

347
00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:52,880
our state lines eventually mean no more within the nation

348
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,079
than our county lines do now within the states. Eight

349
00:25:58,839 --> 00:26:01,920
the steady advance of federal aid to and control over

350
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:09,640
our educational system, leading to complete federalization of our public education. Nine,

351
00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:14,480
a constant hammering into the American consciousness of the.

352
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: Horror of modern warfare, the.

353
00:26:17,519 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 5: Beauties and the absolute necessity of peace, peace always on

354
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,400
commonist terms of course. And ten the consequent willingness of

355
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,279
the American people to allow the steps of appeasement by

356
00:26:31,319 --> 00:26:35,319
our government which amount to a piecemeal surrender of the

357
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,839
rest of the free world and of the United States itself.

358
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:45,319
In summary, gentlemen, we are losing, rapidly losing a cold

359
00:26:45,319 --> 00:26:50,440
war in which our freedom, our country, and our very

360
00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:54,400
existence are at state. And while we don't seem to

361
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,559
note we are losing this war, you can be sure

362
00:26:57,799 --> 00:27:01,680
the commonest do. There is just one thing, only one

363
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,519
thing in the whole world which.

364
00:27:03,319 --> 00:27:04,799
Speaker 1: The commonists fear today.

365
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,039
Speaker 5: It is that, despite that tremendous influence in our government

366
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,519
and over all of our means of mass communication, the

367
00:27:13,599 --> 00:27:17,039
American people will wake up too soon to what has

368
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,359
really been happening and what is now happening right under

369
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:22,839
their very noses.

370
00:27:24,039 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: The only thing.

371
00:27:24,759 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 5: Which can possibly stop the Commonists is for the American

372
00:27:28,039 --> 00:27:32,200
people to learn the truth in time. One matter on

373
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,200
which most Americans need to become better informed is what

374
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,960
being subjugated by the Commonists are arriving at an accommodation

375
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,960
with Communism as they want it called, would really mean.

376
00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:51,039
For their cruelty and terrorism is almost beyond imagination, and

377
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,680
the domination of our press, television, and radio by Communist

378
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,480
influences is now so great that you simply.

379
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,839
Speaker 1: Are not allowed to learn or be reminded of the.

380
00:28:01,759 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 5: Real nature of the beasts to whom we are losing.

381
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,400
General Mark Clark, for instance, officially reported from career quote,

382
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:17,799
we obtained solid evidence that the Communists slaughtered eleven thousand,

383
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:23,240
six hundred and twenty two members of my command while

384
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:27,480
they were defenseless prisoners of war. These men were tied

385
00:28:27,519 --> 00:28:31,359
to their fellow prisoners and transported to previously selected sites.

386
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,720
They were dumped alive into trenches dug for the purpose,

387
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:42,640
and summarily shot about five thousand of those boys were

388
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,759
from your hometowns and mine. But how many of you

389
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,599
ever saw that report in your headlines or anywhere else.

390
00:28:52,759 --> 00:28:56,200
During the so called Spanish Civil War, the London Times,

391
00:28:56,559 --> 00:28:59,240
which then is now certainly was not slanted in favor

392
00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:03,359
of the anti commonness, reported that in one twelve months period,

393
00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:07,279
the Communists had murdered over four thousand priests in cold blood,

394
00:29:08,119 --> 00:29:11,559
and had driven more than that many nuns out into

395
00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:15,880
the streets of various Spanish cities, inflicted horrible obscenities on them,

396
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,960
and then murdered the nuns. In some places, the Communists

397
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,240
herded priests and their congregations into churches, set the churches

398
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:29,160
on fire, and burned the Christians and their buildings together.

399
00:29:30,119 --> 00:29:33,319
These and similar epic cruelties of the period are facts,

400
00:29:33,359 --> 00:29:36,640
documented beyond all questions, But how many of you have

401
00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:40,960
ever heard them? All of the specious and purposeful savagery

402
00:29:41,799 --> 00:29:45,480
I have been trying so inadequately even to indicate is

403
00:29:45,559 --> 00:29:48,640
not something happening on some other and far off planet,

404
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,559
are perpetrated by the Assyrians twenty five hundred years ago,

405
00:29:53,319 --> 00:29:56,599
are dreamed up as the imaginative nightmare of an Edgar

406
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,559
Allan Poe. These gentlemen are the very real acts and

407
00:30:00,599 --> 00:30:04,200
deliberate policies of the recent past and the very present

408
00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:08,480
of people whom we treat as human beings, and with

409
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,359
whom we sit around conference tables and arrive at truce

410
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:17,759
terms and concessions to appease them. There are some seven

411
00:30:17,839 --> 00:30:22,720
hundred million non Russian non commonists now living daily lives

412
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,359
of virtual slavery behind the Iron Curtain, some forty million

413
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,920
of them in the actual slave labor camps of Russia

414
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,480
and Red China, who only a dozen years ago are

415
00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:39,519
much less enjoyed practically the same personal freedoms as do

416
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,119
you and I today. These people now say to each other,

417
00:30:43,599 --> 00:30:47,359
but above all to themselves, if I'd only known, if

418
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,119
I'd only believed, there is no amount of work and

419
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,440
sacrifice and suffering I would not have given.

420
00:30:52,759 --> 00:30:53,599
Speaker 1: If I had only.

421
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:58,039
Speaker 5: Realized the necessity the danger in time. Now it is

422
00:30:58,119 --> 00:31:01,359
too late, and any amount of ruggle and of sacrifice,

423
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:07,200
even of life itself, is all in vain. The number

424
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,240
of people subject to these cruelties is now increasing by

425
00:31:11,359 --> 00:31:15,880
tens of millions every year, and we are directly in

426
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,680
the path of the conqueror. Are we really so hopelessly blind,

427
00:31:19,839 --> 00:31:24,240
so stupefied by prosperity on one side and the insidious

428
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,799
propaganda on the other, that we cannot even see the

429
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,799
wolves devouring the carcasses of our brothers are drawing ever

430
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,119
nearer to ourselves? Are we going to let our country

431
00:31:35,119 --> 00:31:39,079
and our whole civilization go under and new dark ages

432
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,480
of serfdom be ushered in while we happily play at

433
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:47,039
our little games. May God forbid, but may we speedily

434
00:31:47,079 --> 00:31:49,960
become more worthy that he should?

435
00:31:50,359 --> 00:31:55,759
Speaker 1: Section two. But let's look deeper. Now.

436
00:31:55,799 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 5: If the danger from the communist conspiracy where all we

437
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,880
had to worry about, it would be enough.

438
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:03,359
Speaker 1: But in my.

439
00:32:03,359 --> 00:32:08,519
Speaker 5: Opinion, the first great basic weakness of the United States,

440
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:13,480
and hence its susceptibility to the disease of collectivism, is

441
00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:20,599
simply the age of the Western European civilization. Some of

442
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,200
you will already have recognized, in fact that I am

443
00:32:24,279 --> 00:32:28,000
drawing a corollary to the conclusions usually connected with the

444
00:32:28,079 --> 00:32:33,319
name of Oswald Spangler. Spangler's theory is absolutely fatal to

445
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,640
the acceptance of socialism or any form of collectivism as

446
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,960
a forward step or as a form of progress in

447
00:32:41,039 --> 00:32:47,279
man's sociological arrangements. For in Spangler's view, collectivism is a

448
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:53,039
disease of society, concomitant with decay and remarkably similar to

449
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,559
cancer in the individual. The Roman Empire of the West,

450
00:32:57,599 --> 00:33:01,519
for instance, started dying from the cancer of collectivism from

451
00:33:01,599 --> 00:33:06,000
the time Diocletian imposed on it his new deal. And

452
00:33:06,039 --> 00:33:08,440
it is perfectly evident right in the cases of the

453
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:13,200
various civilizations that we know most about, that both the

454
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,839
Greek and the Roman civilizations did perish of the cancer

455
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,559
of collectivism, and that the civilization of Western Europe is

456
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,440
doing so today. It was Western Europe which made the

457
00:33:26,519 --> 00:33:29,119
last half of the nineteenth century the period of the

458
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,839
highest level to which man has yet climbed in his

459
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,279
struggle to reach an enlightened and humane life. But as

460
00:33:36,319 --> 00:33:39,960
so often happens for the individual, by the time Western

461
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,200
Europe had the knowledge, the wealth, and the ability to

462
00:33:44,279 --> 00:33:48,079
get the most out of life, it was ready to die.

463
00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:51,839
The truth is that, by a cycle which seems inevitable,

464
00:33:52,119 --> 00:33:55,759
whether it is a biological reality or only an analogy,

465
00:33:56,519 --> 00:34:01,039
Western Europe was worn out, and under those circumstances, the

466
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:07,079
degenerative disease of collectivism, the cancer of social organizations began

467
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:12,599
its peripheral infiltration. The American civilization was every bit as

468
00:34:12,679 --> 00:34:15,679
much of an entirely new and different civilization from the

469
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,760
old and ancestral one of Western Europe, as was Rome,

470
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:24,199
a new civilization distinct from Greece. And this American civilization

471
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,920
at the turn of the present century was only three

472
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,519
hundred years old. It had the strength and bigger and

473
00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:33,679
promise of a healthy young man in his late teens.

474
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: There was no.

475
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 5: Reason on earth for any such organism to be attacked

476
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,079
by and then start succumbing to the cancerous disease of

477
00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:45,320
collectivism at that stage of its young manhood, with its

478
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,920
whole lifespan of accomplishment before it. But we have the

479
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,559
cancerous disease of collectivism firmly and planet now. Nevertheless, we

480
00:34:54,679 --> 00:34:57,639
have people feeling that nothing should be done by them

481
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,880
but everything for them by the government. Its disastrous ravages

482
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,199
are quite far advanced, and we have it basically because

483
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,079
of too long and too close an association with a

484
00:35:08,199 --> 00:35:11,599
parent that was dying of the disease that was old

485
00:35:11,679 --> 00:35:14,519
enough and weakened enough for the virus to be rampantly

486
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:21,199
active throughout this parent's whole environment. When Woodrow Wilson, cajoled

487
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,559
and guided even then by the collectivists of Europe, took

488
00:35:24,639 --> 00:35:28,480
us into the First World War, while solemnly swearing that

489
00:35:28,519 --> 00:35:31,599
he would never do so. He did much more than

490
00:35:31,679 --> 00:35:36,880
end America's great period of happy and wholesome independence of Europe.

491
00:35:37,639 --> 00:35:39,679
Speaker 1: He put his healthy young country.

492
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 5: In the same house, and for a while the same bed,

493
00:35:42,679 --> 00:35:46,639
with this parrot, who was already yielding to the collectivist cancer.

494
00:35:47,519 --> 00:35:50,679
We never got out of that house again. We were

495
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,239
once more put back, even in the same bed by

496
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,679
Franklin D. Roosevelt, also while lying in his teeth about

497
00:35:57,679 --> 00:36:00,320
his intentions. And we have never been able to get

498
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:05,079
out of that bed since. Push the commonest back, get

499
00:36:05,119 --> 00:36:07,119
out of the bed of a Europe that is dying

500
00:36:07,199 --> 00:36:11,360
with this cancer of collectivism, and breathe our own health,

501
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:15,679
the air of opportunity, enterprise and freedom. Then the cancer

502
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:28,840
we already have, even though it is of then, the

503
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,679
cancer we already have, even though it is of considerable growth,

504
00:36:33,079 --> 00:36:36,760
can be cut out. And despite the bad scars and

505
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:41,079
the loss of some muscles, this young, strong, great new nation,

506
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:46,840
restored to bigger courage, ambition, and self confidence, can still

507
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,239
go ahead to fulfill its great destiny, and to become

508
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,519
an even more glorious example for all the Earth than

509
00:36:53,559 --> 00:36:57,320
it ever was before. It should be centuries from now

510
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,360
before the natural time comes for the decline of America

511
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,480
and for the highest thoughts of civilization to be taken

512
00:37:03,519 --> 00:37:07,599
over by the rising newer nations to the west. But

513
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,760
we do have to achieve the sufficiently drastic surgeries, and that,

514
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,119
of course is a herculean task. We shall return to

515
00:37:15,159 --> 00:37:17,000
a study of it when we come to the more

516
00:37:17,039 --> 00:37:27,480
positive part of this program, Section three and deeper stills. Now, gentlemen,

517
00:37:27,559 --> 00:37:31,679
in looking thoroughly and realistically at the danger to everything

518
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,079
we have inherited, spiritual as well as material, and at

519
00:37:35,119 --> 00:37:38,559
the cause of that danger, we come to the second

520
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:44,719
of the fundamental reasons for deep and basic anxiety, and

521
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,559
putting that matter bluntly at once, the reason is simply

522
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,119
loss of faith. Not just loss of faith in God

523
00:37:51,199 --> 00:37:53,800
in all his works, but loss of faith in Man

524
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,119
and his works too, in his reasons for existence, in

525
00:37:57,159 --> 00:37:58,119
his purposes and.

526
00:37:58,039 --> 00:37:58,679
Speaker 1: In his hopes.

527
00:38:00,119 --> 00:38:03,119
Speaker 5: All of us. Thank whatever God we severally worship that

528
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,760
there is so large a remnant of the really true

529
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:10,039
believers still left. We honor them We need their steadying

530
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:14,480
adherence to the rock of reverence, and their aspiration of

531
00:38:14,679 --> 00:38:19,559
unwavering obedience to ancient and divine commandments. We desperately need

532
00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:26,320
their unshakable confidence in absolutes in eternal principles and truths

533
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,840
in a world of increasing relativity and transitoriness in all things.

534
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,199
Speaker 1: We admire them.

535
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 5: In fact, as will become more clear tomorrow, the young

536
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,559
men I admire most of all of those America has

537
00:38:39,639 --> 00:38:45,920
produced was a Fundamentalist Baptist missionary named John Birch. But

538
00:38:46,039 --> 00:38:49,079
we must not let our admiration far dependence on and

539
00:38:49,159 --> 00:38:53,320
feeling of spiritual kinship with the fundamentalists blind us to

540
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,239
the visible fact that their number grows smaller every year.

541
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,119
Among the people literate enough and ambitious enough to be

542
00:39:01,199 --> 00:39:05,159
activists in Europe and America, those who are honestly true

543
00:39:05,159 --> 00:39:08,920
believers in a faith which most of them still profess

544
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:14,719
is an ever smaller minority, but is far worse fully

545
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,320
one third of the services that at least the Protestant

546
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,880
churches of America are helping that trend. Some ministers have

547
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,760
converted Christianity into a so called social gospel, which becomes

548
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,880
in fact indistinguishable from advocacy of the welfare state by

549
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:36,960
socialist politicians, and some actually use their pulpits to preach

550
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,840
outright communism, often in very thin disguise, if any, while

551
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,840
having the hypocrisy as atheists to thank God in public

552
00:39:46,199 --> 00:39:50,480
for their progressive apostasy. We must not only know the

553
00:39:50,519 --> 00:39:52,639
truth that faced the truth, if it is to set

554
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,039
us free or to keep us so. Except for the

555
00:39:56,119 --> 00:40:00,719
diminishing number of fundamentalists of all religions, faith has been

556
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,960
replaced or is rapidly being replaced, by a pragmatic opportunism

557
00:40:05,119 --> 00:40:06,480
with hedonistic aims.

558
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: And what a fall that is for a.

559
00:40:09,079 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 5: Race which can boast of once having listened to a

560
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,840
Saint Augustine, a Saint Francis of Assisi, a John Milton,

561
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,360
or an Alfred Tennyson. In Western Europe and America, today

562
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,920
we are living in a spiritual vacuum, exactly as were

563
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,440
the Romans after they had lost any real faith in

564
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:31,280
their pagan gods, and before the rise of Christianity. The

565
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,840
most terrible result of this collapse of the rock of

566
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,719
faith on which our morality was built is the rise

567
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:43,119
of the immoral man, of which the usual communist himself

568
00:40:43,199 --> 00:40:47,960
is the most illustrative example for the chief point of

569
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,840
this whole present section of our discussion runs parallel to

570
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,400
the main point, in connection with the extent to which

571
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:59,000
the cancer of collectivism has weakened and endangered us. Besides

572
00:40:59,039 --> 00:41:02,960
the short term job of eliminating the communist danger, we

573
00:41:03,079 --> 00:41:06,360
have the equally important, longer range job of ending this

574
00:41:06,559 --> 00:41:12,480
mass psychological flight towards amorality and of restoring convincing reasons

575
00:41:12,519 --> 00:41:15,400
for men once again to strive to live up to

576
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:21,360
moral and humanitarian ideals. Otherwise there is no chance of

577
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:34,679
saving our Christian style civilization. Otherwise there is no chance

578
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:39,559
of saving our Christian style civilization from self destruction, and

579
00:41:39,599 --> 00:41:42,280
it will merely go down to chaos and the ultimate

580
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,280
surctum of the week under the strong more lingeringly than

581
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,559
if it is destroyed and its once free members are

582
00:41:49,639 --> 00:41:53,719
enslaved by the commonists. We shall return to the constructive

583
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,559
side of this need and this undertaking in the morning

584
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:05,639
section four and so let's act. We come now to

585
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,199
the question of what is to be done about these problems.

586
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,400
The very first thing we must realize is that there

587
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:17,960
is no easy formula possible now brilliant scheme devisable for

588
00:42:18,119 --> 00:42:23,280
beating the commonests. The conspiracy is now incredibly well organized.

589
00:42:24,199 --> 00:42:26,880
It is so well financed that it has billions of

590
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,840
dollars annually just to spend on propaganda. It has the

591
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,880
benefit of decades of successful experiences. It has one set

592
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,719
goal of world rule by any means, to which every

593
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,480
act in all of the lives of some forty million

594
00:42:42,519 --> 00:42:46,880
party members are now wholly subservi. And it is guided

595
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:51,119
by men who had to have supreme cunning and ruthlessness

596
00:42:51,159 --> 00:42:55,679
to have achieved their present positions within the conspiracy itself.

597
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,719
The human race has never before faced any such monster

598
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:04,760
of power which was determined to enslavi it. But there

599
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,480
is one basic consideration of tremendous importance which we must

600
00:43:08,519 --> 00:43:12,239
always keep in mind. This is that communism has been

601
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:16,000
imposed and must always be imposed from the top down

602
00:43:16,599 --> 00:43:20,039
by trickery and terror, and that it must then be

603
00:43:20,119 --> 00:43:26,559
maintained by terror. Truth, reality, human instinct, and the overwhelming

604
00:43:26,599 --> 00:43:30,360
weight of human desire are on our side. We have

605
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:34,119
these points in our favor against a conspiracy which must

606
00:43:34,119 --> 00:43:39,039
depend on falsehood, cunning, and terror utilized by less than

607
00:43:39,079 --> 00:43:42,760
five percent of the total population. To feel that we

608
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,719
cannot win that struggle. Is a form of pessimism to

609
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,559
which I, for one, shall never yield.

610
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 1: But I have.

611
00:44:02,639 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 5: What I have chiefly intended this brief introduction to lead to, therefore,

612
00:44:07,599 --> 00:44:11,400
is the realization that every effort we undertake, every battle

613
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,800
we fight, even if we lose it, and every sacrifice

614
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,679
we make is cumulating. Every bit of dedication to the

615
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:23,280
cause is worthwhile. Obviously, the place for us to begin

616
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:27,199
is in the United States, because the American support of

617
00:44:27,199 --> 00:44:32,199
the international communist conspiracy is now the backbone of its strength,

618
00:44:33,039 --> 00:44:36,119
and has been for many years. If and when we

619
00:44:36,199 --> 00:44:39,400
can reach the point of turning just the American government

620
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,920
from actively helping the communist conspiracy everywhere in the world,

621
00:44:44,639 --> 00:44:47,360
we shall have one a most important battle.

622
00:44:47,679 --> 00:44:50,079
Speaker 1: In the war ahead. The amount of.

623
00:44:50,039 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 5: Work, the amount of work required to do that, in

624
00:44:59,039 --> 00:45:00,920
the face of a way that cards have been so

625
00:45:01,079 --> 00:45:03,239
painstakingly stacked against.

626
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: Us, is something to contemplate.

627
00:45:05,559 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 5: And yet there is nothing but work and more work,

628
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,880
thinking and more thinking, dedication and more dedication which we'll

629
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,039
do the job. So now let's look at the job itself.

630
00:45:16,119 --> 00:45:21,199
One first, we would establish reading rooms, small and inexpensive

631
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,280
in just as many of the cities, towns, and villages

632
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,880
of this country as we could, just as rapidly as

633
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:27,360
we could.

634
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:28,559
Speaker 1: Two.

635
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:33,559
Speaker 5: Second, since getting the truth about both recent history and

636
00:45:33,679 --> 00:45:36,639
current events into as many hands and heads as possible

637
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,239
is so important, we would see that the circulation of

638
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:44,559
the conservative periodicals was expanded as rapidly as it could

639
00:45:44,599 --> 00:45:48,880
be done without too much waste. Three we would do

640
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,239
everything we could to support, maintain, increase the number of

641
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:56,440
stations used, and widen the audiences of such radio programs

642
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,760
as those of Fulton, Lewis, Parents Manion, and dozens of

643
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:05,480
more localized broadcasters throughout the country. Four we would institute

644
00:46:05,519 --> 00:46:09,760
the organized planning and control to make full and effectively

645
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:14,280
coordinated use of the powerful letter writing weapon that lies

646
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:20,360
so ready at hand. Five we would organize fronts, little fronts,

647
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:24,079
big fronts, temporary fronts, permanent fronts, all kinds of fronts.

648
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:25,039
Speaker 1: Six.

649
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:30,039
Speaker 5: Another thing we should do, and one badly needed, would

650
00:46:30,079 --> 00:46:33,280
be to start shocking the American people, or an increasing

651
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,480
percentage of the more literate and more intelligent who have

652
00:46:36,599 --> 00:46:40,639
not yet been completely brainwashed into a realization of what

653
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,199
is happening, into a dawning realization of how far and

654
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:49,360
how how completely commonists and communist influence have crept right

655
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:54,960
into their communities, into institutions and activities where the general

656
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,800
public does not have the slightest suspicion of such infiltration.

657
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,840
The best way to do this is by exposure, which

658
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,920
is why the Commonists just had to get rid of

659
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:11,280
McCarthy and went to such extreme lengths to do so.

660
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 1: Seven.

661
00:47:12,599 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 5: There are now dozens of slimy characters at loose in

662
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:19,119
our midst whom I'll call to your attention by describing

663
00:47:19,199 --> 00:47:22,920
one who is more or less typical. His usual name

664
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,440
is Gordon Hall, though he also uses and has used

665
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:31,320
many aliases, and we could silence him and those like

666
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,039
him with comparative ease.

667
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,119
Speaker 1: Eight. We would line up a.

668
00:47:36,159 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 5: Large list of speakers ourselves all.

669
00:47:38,599 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 1: Over the country. Nine.

670
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 5: Ninth and current in this listing would be our undertakings

671
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:46,840
on the international front.

672
00:47:47,679 --> 00:47:48,519
Speaker 1: For many reasons.

673
00:47:48,519 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 5: We would start extending our body into other countries as

674
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,199
soon as there were energy and resources which.

675
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:59,159
Speaker 1: Could properly be spared for that purpose. Ten. Finally, and

676
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:00,800
probably most important of.

677
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,039
Speaker 5: All these courses of action, we would put our weight

678
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,519
into the political scales in this country just as fast

679
00:48:07,599 --> 00:48:11,840
and far as we could. We are at a stage, gentlemen,

680
00:48:12,679 --> 00:48:16,840
where the only sure political victories are achieved by non

681
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:22,840
political organizations, by organization which has a surer, more positive,

682
00:48:23,199 --> 00:48:27,800
and more permanent purpose than the immediate political goals that

683
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:32,639
are only means to an end, by organization which has

684
00:48:32,679 --> 00:48:38,119
a back moon and cohesiveness and strength and definiteness of direction,

685
00:48:38,559 --> 00:48:44,039
which are impossible for the old style political party organization. Fantastic,

686
00:48:44,159 --> 00:48:47,760
of course, it's fantastic. But everything I am talking is fantastic.

687
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:53,639
We are living in fantastic times and a fantastic situation.

688
00:48:54,920 --> 00:49:00,559
The alternative to sufficiently fantastic measures and efforts is a

689
00:49:00,599 --> 00:49:04,599
fate of fantastic suffering for our children, and the equally

690
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:09,119
fantastic loss of a whole, humane civilization that has cost

691
00:49:09,199 --> 00:49:14,360
countless sacrifices, immeasurable labor, and an infinite number of noble

692
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,800
dreams across centuries in the building. We are in circumstances

693
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,320
where it is realistic to be fantastic. I was careful

694
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,599
to bring into this group only men of sufficient intelligence

695
00:49:25,639 --> 00:49:30,480
and imagination to understand that paradox, and tomorrow morning I

696
00:49:30,519 --> 00:49:33,800
hope to make the realism of this afternoon's hypothesis and

697
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:39,480
these proposals at least as believable as is the unbelievable

698
00:49:39,559 --> 00:49:43,719
present power of the forces of evil arrayed against us.

699
00:49:44,639 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 1: May you have a.

700
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 5: Good dinner, a little surcease from such serious thoughts, and

701
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:55,800
a good night's sleep in the meantime, Section five, Under

702
00:49:55,840 --> 00:50:01,840
positive leadership. This morning, in retracing our footsteps, we come

703
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,519
first to the cancel of collectivism, to the question of

704
00:50:05,519 --> 00:50:08,960
how to stop its further ravages, and how to restore

705
00:50:09,079 --> 00:50:13,679
the American body politic to good health, renewed strength, and

706
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:17,159
as much promise for the future as is possible in

707
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:21,280
view of the damage already done. And that, gentleman brings

708
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,639
me to one of the basic purposes for which this

709
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,079
meeting was called. It is one which I approach with

710
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:31,599
great humility, but with no misgivings as to its necessity.

711
00:50:32,519 --> 00:50:35,039
For we simply are not going to be able to

712
00:50:35,079 --> 00:50:38,519
save our country from either the immediate threat of communism

713
00:50:39,079 --> 00:50:43,679
or the long range threat of socialism by organizational leadership.

714
00:50:44,639 --> 00:50:49,480
Our only possible chance is dynamic personal leadership. Let me

715
00:50:49,559 --> 00:50:53,119
begin with an illustration of the difference which also supports

716
00:50:53,159 --> 00:50:57,599
the argument. In nineteen fifty two, I disagreed with Bob

717
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,320
taft On at least three of it ten most important

718
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:06,559
political principles. Yet I had made twenty five radio speeches

719
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,880
for Tapped in the primary campaign on my own time

720
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:15,639
and my own money. I was wholeheartedly and enthusiastically taped

721
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:20,000
for the nomination and the presidency because I trusted him

722
00:51:20,039 --> 00:51:24,000
and he was going generally in my direction. The fact

723
00:51:24,039 --> 00:51:26,760
that he didn't see two or three issues out of

724
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:30,079
ten the way I saw them didn't dampen the energy

725
00:51:30,159 --> 00:51:31,960
of my personal support.

726
00:51:31,639 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: For him in the slightest.

727
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,559
Speaker 5: But if in when I am a member of any organization,

728
00:51:36,639 --> 00:51:39,719
political or otherwise, and there is disagreement on the part

729
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,599
of any sizeable percentage of the membership as to three

730
00:51:43,679 --> 00:51:47,519
out of ten of the organization's policies or planks, a

731
00:51:47,559 --> 00:51:51,599
splintering of the organization into two groups is almost inevitable.

732
00:51:52,119 --> 00:51:55,719
Personal leadership holds together a following in the way that

733
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,360
organizational leadership never can.

734
00:52:00,119 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: Present.

735
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,280
Speaker 5: We are in the position of trying to defeat a disciplined,

736
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:09,320
well armed, expertly commanded army with a collection of debating societies,

737
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,840
and it can't be done. So let's look briefly at

738
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,239
the possibility, the advantages and the disadvantages of finding this

739
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,800
desperately needed leader in the political field, and the easiest

740
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,480
way to do this is to conduct the discussion around

741
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:28,400
some individual from the very start. Now, the one man

742
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,639
who comes nearest to measuring up to all the needs

743
00:52:30,639 --> 00:52:33,960
and qualifications whom we see on the political horizon at

744
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,800
the present time is Barrygalwarter. I know Barry fairly well.

745
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:39,960
I'd love to see him president of the United States.

746
00:52:45,079 --> 00:52:46,920
I'd love to see him president of the United States,

747
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,800
and maybe someday we shall. But does anybody in this

748
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,880
room think there is any slightest chance of Barrygalwarter supplying

749
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,519
the dynamic overall leadership needed to save this country for

750
00:52:58,599 --> 00:53:01,639
anybody to be president of If so, I think he

751
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,559
is still not fully aware of the nature and totality

752
00:53:04,639 --> 00:53:04,920
of the.

753
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:05,639
Speaker 1: Forces at work.

754
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 5: The Goldwater, by the very circumstances of his political success,

755
00:53:10,679 --> 00:53:15,360
present prestige, and the expectations of his supporters, will inevitably

756
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,280
think and move in terms of political warfare, even if

757
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,000
he personally should reach the point and the understanding of

758
00:53:22,079 --> 00:53:25,280
wanting to consider political action as just the part, no

759
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:29,639
matter how important of much broader overall action. How much

760
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,360
chance do you think there is that his friends and

761
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:36,000
supporters would let him step out of the strictly political

762
00:53:36,079 --> 00:53:38,320
role in which he has been so successful.

763
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 1: How much chance is there.

764
00:53:40,159 --> 00:53:43,679
Speaker 5: That they would let him build and utilize forceful leadership

765
00:53:44,039 --> 00:53:46,840
on all of the other fronts where we must fight

766
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,000
the commonists. How many of the steps which we discussed

767
00:53:50,119 --> 00:53:53,400
yesterday afternoon, and which I am sure must be taken

768
00:53:53,679 --> 00:53:55,320
if we are to have any chance at all?

769
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,760
Speaker 1: Do you think you could count on Barry.

770
00:53:57,519 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 5: Goldwater's leadership to bring about no matter how much he

771
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,639
was beseeched, and no matter how much he himself came

772
00:54:03,679 --> 00:54:08,440
to feel inclined to do so, or more for the

773
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:13,159
other illustrative points that will arise than for any hopes

774
00:54:13,519 --> 00:54:16,880
offered by the prospect. Let's look at Richard Nixon in

775
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:21,119
this connection. He's an extremely smart man. He is one

776
00:54:21,119 --> 00:54:25,840
of the ablest, shrewdest, most disingenuous, and slippriest politicians that

777
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:40,360
ever showed up on the American scene. He can sit

778
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,519
in Washington one night and convince some of the most

779
00:54:43,559 --> 00:54:46,360
modern Republicans that he's the best ball carrier they have,

780
00:54:47,599 --> 00:54:50,440
and spend four hours in the Waldorf Towers the next

781
00:54:50,519 --> 00:54:52,159
day convincing MacArthur and.

782
00:54:52,159 --> 00:54:53,760
Speaker 1: Herbert Hoover that he is their man.

783
00:54:54,639 --> 00:54:58,039
Speaker 5: He can use the tremendously overrated and over publicized but

784
00:54:58,199 --> 00:55:01,880
actually highly cautious part he played in the algehis exposure

785
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,039
to hang on to the hopeful loyalty of the vigorous

786
00:55:05,079 --> 00:55:08,679
anti Commonists at the very time when he is insinuating

787
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:10,800
himself into the good graces of the left.

788
00:55:11,039 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 1: By quietly knighting McCarthy.

789
00:55:13,519 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 5: Nixon could pose as a conservative Republican congressman and yet

790
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:20,119
be one of the original founders in nineteen fifty of

791
00:55:20,199 --> 00:55:24,639
Republican Advance. This was intended to be not the Republican

792
00:55:24,639 --> 00:55:28,639
opposition to but the Republican team made of Americans for

793
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:33,239
Democratic Action, and it even had some interlocking left wingers

794
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:37,079
who were members of both groups. Nixon can claim still

795
00:55:37,119 --> 00:55:39,960
to be vigorously anti communists. Yet when he has a

796
00:55:40,079 --> 00:55:42,800
chance as Vice President to break the tie and cast

797
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,360
the decisive vote for HR three to re establish some

798
00:55:46,599 --> 00:55:52,119
chance of prosecution of subversives actually advocating violent overthrow our government.

799
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: What happens.

800
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 5: He moves heaven and earth to have Wallace Bennett found

801
00:55:56,599 --> 00:56:00,760
and pressured into voting against HR three, defeating them so

802
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,559
that the Vice president will not have to vote. What

803
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,840
good would such a man be to us, even as

804
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:10,960
president unless outside forces and accomplishments made it opportunistic and

805
00:56:11,119 --> 00:56:15,000
expedient for him to ride an anti communist wave which

806
00:56:15,079 --> 00:56:18,920
those outside forces had created. As for being a leader,

807
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,320
the sad truth, hard for many hopeful and wishful Conservative

808
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:27,840
Republicans to realize, is that Richard Nixon, a most engaging

809
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:32,320
personality and clever politician, has never been a leader in

810
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,800
connection with any event or development, or at any stage

811
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:39,079
in his career. He has been a writer of waves

812
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:43,199
so far as public support was concerned, and a manipulator

813
00:56:43,519 --> 00:56:46,159
of uncanny skill behind the scenes.

814
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: I have I have made these remarks.

815
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 5: Here in this really inner circle group in order to

816
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,239
emphasize the wisdom of the old advice put not your

817
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:04,639
faith in politicians.

818
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:13,119
Speaker 1: I am thoroughly I am thoroughly.

819
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:17,079
Speaker 5: Convinced that we cannot count on politicians, political leadership, or

820
00:57:17,079 --> 00:57:21,039
even political action, except as a part of something much

821
00:57:21,119 --> 00:57:23,400
deeper and broader to save us.

822
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: Now. I didn't always.

823
00:57:24,719 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 5: Feel that way, and I think that up to the

824
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:31,199
time that the nomination was stolen from Bob Taft in

825
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:34,920
nineteen fifty two, it was still possible to have saved

826
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:39,199
our country from the immediate communist danger anyway, primarily by

827
00:57:39,239 --> 00:57:43,519
political action. But my study of the whole picture convinced

828
00:57:43,559 --> 00:57:47,519
me more and more that no one outspoken senator, nor

829
00:57:47,559 --> 00:57:50,880
a dozen outspoken senators, and no amount of the ephemeral

830
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:55,280
political support they might muster, could possibly save our country

831
00:57:55,440 --> 00:58:00,159
unless unless there was encompassing them and their efforts and

832
00:58:00,199 --> 00:58:03,920
support this far larger and broader movement.

833
00:58:03,599 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: Of which I keep referring.

834
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 5: Two that there was not going to be any such

835
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:13,280
movement without the dynamic overall personal leadership to which I

836
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:17,400
have also been referring. And three that with all of

837
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:21,559
my own shortcomings, there wasn't anybody else on the horizon

838
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,840
willing to give their whole lives to the job with

839
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,440
the determination and dedication I would put into it if

840
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:41,840
I didn't what really what really moved me to cross

841
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:46,119
this rubicon? However, the consideration which more than any other

842
00:58:46,519 --> 00:58:50,280
gradually brought me the necessary measure of courage and determination

843
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:54,400
for so staggering and undertaking was another result of many

844
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,639
years of study of not only the present but the past.

845
00:58:58,559 --> 00:58:59,199
Speaker 1: This is the.

846
00:58:59,239 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 5: Conviction that, even warding our commonest slavery and reversing the socialist.

847
00:59:04,239 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 1: Trend is only half the battle.

848
00:59:07,119 --> 00:59:10,039
Speaker 5: We can never win even that half unless both leadership

849
00:59:10,079 --> 00:59:13,880
and following have a positive dream, which is more important

850
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:17,639
as a hope than the negative nightmare is as a fear.

851
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,039
Unless the promise of what we can build supplies more

852
00:59:21,119 --> 00:59:24,719
motivation than the terror of what we must destroy, and

853
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,840
unless this faith in the future is based on a

854
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:32,239
deeper faith in eternal truths, the nature of these truths

855
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,360
and the tenets of this faith, which I hope and

856
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,039
believe every man in this room can accept and approve.

857
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,480
I shall come to later this morning. What I'm trying

858
00:59:40,519 --> 00:59:43,599
to do here as an introduction to and part of

859
00:59:43,599 --> 00:59:47,360
our thinking about how to rid America of the collectivist cancer,

860
00:59:47,519 --> 00:59:50,400
is simply this. I want to convince you, as I

861
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:55,360
am convinced, that only dynamic personal leadership offers any chance

862
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,840
for us to save either our material or our spiritual inheritance.

863
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,599
I want to convince you, as I am convinced, that

864
01:00:03,719 --> 01:00:07,920
even under such leadership, we have no chance unless the

865
01:00:08,079 --> 01:00:12,039
specific battles are fought as part of a larger and

866
01:00:12,199 --> 01:00:16,800
more lasting movement to restore once again and upward reach

867
01:00:17,159 --> 01:00:19,679
to the heart of man. And I have wished to

868
01:00:19,719 --> 01:00:22,440
make clear what you are bound to be, assuming already

869
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:26,119
that with whatever I have in me of faith, dedication,

870
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,960
and energy, I intend to offer that leadership to all

871
01:00:30,119 --> 01:00:36,199
who are willing to help me. Section six to restore responsibility.

872
01:00:38,039 --> 01:00:41,599
With that much explanation as background, let's see what basic

873
01:00:41,679 --> 01:00:45,320
principle we can establish and what specific objective we can

874
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:50,719
define with regard to the particular battle against collectivism. And

875
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,960
it seems to me, gentlemen, that the whole essence of

876
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:57,719
our purpose can be summarized in just five words. Less

877
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:14,400
government and more responsibility. The principle is simple enough for

878
01:01:14,559 --> 01:01:17,320
all to understand, and yet it is broad enough, I

879
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:20,559
believe to be comprehency with regard to all that we

880
01:01:20,679 --> 01:01:24,679
really desired to attain through political action. We must try

881
01:01:24,719 --> 01:01:29,039
to make it a convincing political standard and an accepted goal.

882
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:33,519
What we must start asking our fellow citizens everywhere to consider,

883
01:01:33,719 --> 01:01:38,320
is this on the basis of all known past human experience,

884
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,440
are there and in general conclusions with regard to the

885
01:01:42,599 --> 01:01:46,800
organization of society which can be set forth with confidence?

886
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:52,400
It seems to me clear that there certainly are one. First,

887
01:01:53,239 --> 01:02:00,639
government is necessary, some degree of government in any civilized society. Two.

888
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:06,840
While government is necessary, it is basically a non productive expense,

889
01:02:07,039 --> 01:02:10,679
an overhead cost supported by the productive economy.

890
01:02:11,559 --> 01:02:12,079
Speaker 1: Three.

891
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 5: Third, government is frequently evil four Four Government is always

892
01:02:21,079 --> 01:02:26,760
and inevitably an enemy of individual freedom.

893
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:27,119
Speaker 1: Five.

894
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:32,119
Speaker 5: Whatever must be done by government will always cost more

895
01:02:32,679 --> 01:02:37,320
than if it could be done by individuals or smaller groups.

896
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,199
Six Government.

897
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:44,599
Speaker 1: Six.

898
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 5: Government, by its size, its momentum, and its authority, will

899
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:54,440
not only perpetuate errors of doctrine or of policy longer

900
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:58,239
than they would otherwise retain acceptance, but it will multiply

901
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:02,880
their effect on a geometric scale as against the arithmetical

902
01:03:03,039 --> 01:03:08,480
cumulative effect of those errors if confined confined to individuals

903
01:03:08,559 --> 01:03:09,519
are smaller groups.

904
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:11,119
Speaker 1: Seven.

905
01:03:12,079 --> 01:03:16,239
Speaker 5: As any society becomes reasonably settled and shakes down into

906
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:20,840
a semi permanent pattern of economic and political life, the

907
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:24,519
drive always begins to have government become the management of

908
01:03:24,599 --> 01:03:28,519
the social enterprise, rather than merely its agent for certain

909
01:03:28,599 --> 01:03:32,519
clear purposes. Yet, a government trying to step in and

910
01:03:32,679 --> 01:03:37,039
improve the working of a free market is exactly like

911
01:03:37,079 --> 01:03:40,960
a man who takes a lighted lantern outdoors at noon

912
01:03:41,119 --> 01:03:43,519
of a bright June day to show you the sun.

913
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:51,559
Speaker 1: Eight Eight.

914
01:03:51,719 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 5: As a government increases in power, and as a means

915
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:58,719
of increasing its power, it always has a tendency to

916
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:02,239
squeeze out the middle lass to destroy a week in

917
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:06,280
the middle for the benefit of the top and the bottom.

918
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:07,159
Speaker 1: Nine.

919
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 5: The form of government is not nearly so important as

920
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:15,840
its quality. Ten, which brings us to the last, and

921
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:19,880
in my opinion, the most important of these basic generalizations

922
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:24,400
concerning government, and now our tenth point is that neither

923
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:28,599
the form of government nor its quality is as important

924
01:04:28,639 --> 01:04:33,400
as its quantity. The increasing quantity of government in all

925
01:04:33,519 --> 01:04:38,599
nations has constituted the greatest tragedy of the twentieth century.

926
01:04:39,519 --> 01:04:43,840
The greatest enemy of man is The greatest enemy of

927
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:48,079
man is and always has been government, And the larger,

928
01:04:48,199 --> 01:04:50,400
the more extensive that government.

929
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:51,559
Speaker 1: The greater the enemy.

930
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 5: The Commonists believe that a collectivist society should swallow up

931
01:04:55,800 --> 01:05:00,280
all individuals, make their lives and their energies. Comp is

932
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:03,719
subservient to the needs and the purposes of the collectivist state,

933
01:05:04,519 --> 01:05:07,280
and that any means are permissible to achieve this. In

934
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:12,400
the true americanist believes that the individual should retain the

935
01:05:12,519 --> 01:05:15,760
freedom to make his own bargain with life and the

936
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:20,000
responsibility for the results of that bargain, and that means

937
01:05:20,039 --> 01:05:24,280
are as important as ends in the civilized social order

938
01:05:24,559 --> 01:05:31,880
which he desires. There are many stages. There are many

939
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:35,840
stages of wealth caurism, socialism, and collectivism in general, but

940
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:39,280
communism is the ultimate state of them all, and they

941
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:44,760
all lead inevitably in that direction. In this final state, communism,

942
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,920
you have a society in which class distinctions.

943
01:05:48,159 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: Are greater than in any other, but.

944
01:05:50,719 --> 01:05:55,199
Speaker 5: Where position in these classes is determined solely by demaggic

945
01:05:55,239 --> 01:05:59,239
political skill and ruthless cunning. And you have a society

946
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,119
in which every fault of government that we have discussed

947
01:06:02,159 --> 01:06:05,960
above is held to be a benefit and a desirable

948
01:06:06,039 --> 01:06:09,480
part of the framework of life. But there is an

949
01:06:09,519 --> 01:06:13,960
exactly opposite direction. This direction leads toward a governmental environment

950
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,079
for human life, founded on the basis of long experience

951
01:06:17,159 --> 01:06:20,119
with government, on experience which shows government to be a

952
01:06:20,159 --> 01:06:24,119
necessary evil, but a continuous break on all progress and

953
01:06:24,199 --> 01:06:28,119
the ultimate enemy of all freedom. It is the forward direction,

954
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:34,719
the upward direction, and Americanism I hope shall become its name.

955
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 1: Section seven.

956
01:06:39,599 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 5: And help to build a better world. We are the

957
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:48,480
music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams. We

958
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:51,840
in the ages lying in the buried past of the earth,

959
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:56,079
built Nineva with our sighing and babble itself with our mirth,

960
01:06:56,920 --> 01:07:01,159
and overthrew them with prophesying to the old of the new.

961
01:07:01,199 --> 01:07:05,679
World's work. For each age is a dream that is

962
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:10,199
dying or one that is coming to birth. For the

963
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,719
last fifty years, our age has been a dream that

964
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:16,360
is dying to this very group. But this very moment,

965
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:19,480
I am proposing that we turn our faces forward instead

966
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:23,599
of backward, begin to make even our defensive actions fit

967
01:07:23,679 --> 01:07:27,800
into a constructive design, and do our part to usher

968
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,800
in a new age that is coming to birth.

969
01:07:31,639 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 1: Now.

970
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:34,239
Speaker 5: I don't expect the New York Times to begin announcing

971
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:38,039
excitedly in January that, obviously the world started on a

972
01:07:38,079 --> 01:07:42,719
new era in Indianapolis in December nineteen fifty eight. Of course,

973
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:45,000
it is only the work we do afterwards, the work

974
01:07:45,039 --> 01:07:47,760
we persuade and inspire others to do, and the long

975
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:51,360
results in widening reach both that can make of this

976
01:07:51,559 --> 01:07:54,920
meeting anything but a two day seminar in philosophy and

977
01:07:55,079 --> 01:07:59,599
current affairs. But if every man here should leave tonight

978
01:08:00,079 --> 01:08:02,960
feeling in his own mind that he had been at

979
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:05,159
the beginning of a new chapter in history.

980
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:06,159
Speaker 1: It would be true.

981
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 5: It would be true, no matter how long the historians

982
01:08:09,559 --> 01:08:13,079
might take to find it out. The basic reason why

983
01:08:13,119 --> 01:08:16,600
our old age is dying, as I tried yesterday to macclaar,

984
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,600
is that the faith which was the core of its strength,

985
01:08:21,199 --> 01:08:25,880
no longer commands the unquestioning loyalty of enough of its devotees.

986
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:30,119
For the dream of any nation or any people must

987
01:08:30,159 --> 01:08:33,760
depend on faith. The foundation of our new dream must

988
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,960
be faith, or it will never come to pass. Where

989
01:08:37,039 --> 01:08:39,560
is this faith and what is this faith? So true

990
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:42,359
that neither our hearts nor our reasons can deny it,

991
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,520
so broad that it takes in without violation the faith

992
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:48,600
of our fathers, and so deep that it can inspire

993
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:52,199
martyrdom at need. As to where it's right in front

994
01:08:52,239 --> 01:08:55,039
of us, and as to what it is, exactly what

995
01:08:55,199 --> 01:09:00,600
we in this room already and actually believe, let me

996
01:09:01,039 --> 01:09:05,560
repeat here for the devout Catholics and fundamentalist Protestants who

997
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:09,239
are among my best friends and strongest supporters, that it

998
01:09:09,319 --> 01:09:12,920
is no part of my purpose to disturb their beliefs.

999
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,880
In the slightest are the beliefs of any man or

1000
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:19,319
woman who really does have a religious faith instead of

1001
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:22,520
just the shell of one. What I am concerned about,

1002
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:25,199
what we must all be vitally concerned about the day,

1003
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:29,600
as the very essence of our problem is morality, integrity,

1004
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:41,479
and purpose. That morality, that morality must be based on

1005
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:45,880
a bedrock of faith. For those who already have such

1006
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,399
a bedrock of faith and stand on it and abide

1007
01:09:48,399 --> 01:09:51,399
by it, I can offer nothing, and I would certainly

1008
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:55,439
take nothing away. But for those who are no longer

1009
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:58,920
sure exactly where they do stand on what rocks are,

1010
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,880
how firmly I want to try to show them that

1011
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:06,880
all of these bedrocks together constitute a foundation with room

1012
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:11,119
and strength for us all. For unless we willingly anchor

1013
01:10:11,199 --> 01:10:15,479
our moral judgments to eternal truths, we become just chaff,

1014
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:18,880
blown always before the winds of confusion.

1015
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 1: For I doubt not through the ages.

1016
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 5: One increasing purpose runs that there is a purpose in

1017
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:30,880
man beyond anything calls for by his individual needs, and

1018
01:10:31,039 --> 01:10:34,920
far greater than his personal desires, can be not denied

1019
01:10:35,039 --> 01:10:38,840
only by the most depraved maniac or the most ignorant fool.

1020
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,119
One of the best summarizations of the force and beauty

1021
01:10:43,119 --> 01:10:46,880
and eternal quality of that purpose is contained in William

1022
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:50,920
Herbert Carruth's each in his own tongue, which I should

1023
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:56,039
like to recall to your minds. A picket frozen on duty,

1024
01:10:56,840 --> 01:11:02,159
a mother starved for her brood, Socrates drinking the hemlock,

1025
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:07,560
and Jesus on the ruin, and millions who humble and

1026
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:12,439
nameless the straight, hard pathway flood. Some call it consecration,

1027
01:11:13,159 --> 01:11:17,439
and others call it God. Who can read that realize

1028
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:20,800
the incontrovertible and wonderful truth of the story of man's

1029
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,920
purpose at work which the poet tells, and fail to

1030
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:28,319
feel reverently bound to serve that same purpose faithfully?

1031
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:30,479
Speaker 1: And well? What is that purpose?

1032
01:11:31,239 --> 01:11:34,279
Speaker 5: And this too has been summarized by yet another poet

1033
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:39,279
in just one brilliant line. Thou hast put an upward

1034
01:11:39,359 --> 01:11:43,159
reach in the heart of man. Not only are we

1035
01:11:43,199 --> 01:11:46,319
a part of some mighty purpose beyond our understanding, and

1036
01:11:46,399 --> 01:11:48,319
not only do we have a clear duty to be

1037
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:50,920
true to that purpose to the fullest extent that we

1038
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:55,000
are allowed to grasp its workings and its direction. But

1039
01:11:55,119 --> 01:11:57,960
all human experience shows that the total happiness of any

1040
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:01,920
generation and of its posterity is directly tied to the

1041
01:12:02,039 --> 01:12:06,199
respect of that generation for the upward reach in man's nature.

1042
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,840
We have all the reason here that man can ask divine.

1043
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:14,640
Our human are pragmatic for keeping our consciences attuned to

1044
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:19,600
the emotions and impulses which increase man's upward reach, and

1045
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:23,640
for then obeying those consciences, abying by commission as well

1046
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:27,640
as omission, to the utmost of our respective will, powers,

1047
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:32,000
and abilities. The substance of my conscience is, I believe

1048
01:12:32,039 --> 01:12:34,520
it is really the substance of the conscience of every

1049
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:39,800
man in this room, was gratitude and a corresponding sense

1050
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:44,640
of responsibility. Gratitude, if you will let me paraphrase Henley's

1051
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:48,920
line without the slightest implication of blasphemy, gratitude to whatever

1052
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,840
God there was, and gratitude to all of the noblemen

1053
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:55,239
of the past for the life and the environment for

1054
01:12:55,279 --> 01:12:56,880
that life which was given.

1055
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 1: Me, And responsibility to God and man.

1056
01:13:00,079 --> 01:13:02,680
Speaker 5: Be worthy so far as I was able of the

1057
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:06,720
human race at its best. And gentlemen, what firmer foundation

1058
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:09,720
can we possibly need for the faith on which to

1059
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:12,399
build our new age and with which to inaugurate the

1060
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:13,960
dream that is coming to birth.

1061
01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 1: Wherever we turn in.

1062
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:18,399
Speaker 5: Looking at whatever blessings we have for the present and

1063
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,960
hopes for the future, we find a need for gratitude

1064
01:13:22,039 --> 01:13:25,880
that makes the acceptance of responsibility a duty and a

1065
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:30,479
source of inward happiness. Consider, for instance, and for an instant,

1066
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:35,520
the blessing of freedom. Kipling once wrote, truly all we.

1067
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 1: Know of freedom. All we need to know this.

1068
01:13:38,079 --> 01:13:42,640
Speaker 5: Our fathers one for us, long and long ago. Are we,

1069
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:44,840
as Lowell put it, going to be trade us to

1070
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:48,359
our sires, and lose that freedom for our children and

1071
01:13:48,399 --> 01:13:53,760
their children? McCauley had horatious say, and how can man

1072
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:57,760
die better than facing fearful odds for the ashes of

1073
01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:01,119
his fathers and the temples of his god gods? And

1074
01:14:01,159 --> 01:14:05,640
so we ask ourselves, in simple sincerity, if it becomes necessary.

1075
01:14:05,239 --> 01:14:07,319
Speaker 1: Just how can man die better?

1076
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:12,119
Speaker 5: Especially if in doing so he appreciably reduces the odds

1077
01:14:12,159 --> 01:14:16,079
faced by his compatriots in their fight against the overwhelming

1078
01:14:16,119 --> 01:14:19,880
forces of evil threatening us today. But it is not

1079
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:22,439
even to the martyrs, perhaps that we owe the most.

1080
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:26,960
There have been missionaries and scholars, the Catholic monks of

1081
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:32,119
the Middle Ages, poets and philosophers, builders and explorers, statesmen

1082
01:14:32,199 --> 01:14:37,520
and scientists throughout centuries receding into the unknown past, who

1083
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:41,239
have toiled and dreamed, and sacrificed and died that you

1084
01:14:41,359 --> 01:14:44,199
and I might have the comforts and freedoms and hopes

1085
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,640
that we enjoy now in so fair and happy a lend.

1086
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:50,880
One of the worst and most sad and disturbing traits

1087
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:53,159
of many of our young people today is that they

1088
01:14:53,239 --> 01:14:56,520
take their inheritance for granted and have no thought of

1089
01:14:56,560 --> 01:15:00,439
its cost. This is a vital part of the moral

1090
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:04,680
breakdown that is endangering our civilization. It shows how basic

1091
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:09,079
and necessary a component of faith is man's feeling of

1092
01:15:09,159 --> 01:15:13,199
continuity and gratitude. Let us, with a faith for the

1093
01:15:13,239 --> 01:15:16,319
future based on this very principle of gratitude to God

1094
01:15:16,399 --> 01:15:22,720
and man, live up to ourselves, lived up to by ourselves,

1095
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:26,000
and made a living and articulate faith for others. By

1096
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:29,720
both example and teaching, let us try to bring many

1097
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:32,279
of these young people who are now at loose ends

1098
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:35,760
because of their lack of any faith, back into the

1099
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:40,199
conscious current of man's increasing purpose for.

1100
01:15:40,239 --> 01:15:42,079
Speaker 1: A code of honor and an.

1101
01:15:42,039 --> 01:15:46,560
Speaker 5: Ennobling sense of responsibility are themselves gifts to the human

1102
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:50,840
soul which have been won by its upward reach, and

1103
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:54,359
so gentlemen, without any claim to goodness, wisdom, or originality,

1104
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:57,039
I have tried, in far too short a time, for

1105
01:15:57,079 --> 01:15:59,920
so huge a subject, to indicate to you the element

1106
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:03,640
of a faith which I still hope and believe is

1107
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:06,640
shared by all of you, no matter how differently you

1108
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:10,039
might have explained or expressed it. It is a faith

1109
01:16:10,079 --> 01:16:13,159
for which I have earnestly hoped that it might encompass

1110
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:17,159
the individual beliefs of most men of goodwill, that it

1111
01:16:17,239 --> 01:16:21,119
might refill our ancient funds of inspiration, and that it

1112
01:16:21,159 --> 01:16:25,119
would become a basis and a beginning of renewed dedication

1113
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:30,800
to a dream of man's future. Section eight through the

1114
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:36,199
John Birch Society. Now, how do we go about asking men,

1115
01:16:36,399 --> 01:16:40,479
in the words of Santiana, to trust the soul's invincible surmise?

1116
01:16:41,119 --> 01:16:43,439
We come at long last to the question of ways

1117
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,560
and means and methods. In connection with all of these

1118
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:51,159
plans and aims and hopes, I am proposing, as the

1119
01:16:51,159 --> 01:16:55,199
most immediately tangible outcome of this meeting, the formation of

1120
01:16:55,279 --> 01:16:58,039
the John Birch Society. And I ask you not to

1121
01:16:58,079 --> 01:17:01,760
give undue thought at present to the name in the

1122
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,079
small packets for each of you there are copies of

1123
01:17:04,119 --> 01:17:07,000
my little book, The Life of John Birch. I hope

1124
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:09,560
you will read it when you have the opportunity, if

1125
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:12,359
you have not already done so, or even if you have,

1126
01:17:13,359 --> 01:17:15,680
you will find, and I believe agree, that John Birch

1127
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:19,680
possessed in his own character all of those noble traits

1128
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:23,399
and ideals which we should like to see become symbolized

1129
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:28,239
by the John Birch Society. And the kind of life,

1130
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:34,000
a peaceful opportunity and responsibility, which John Birch wanted for

1131
01:17:34,079 --> 01:17:38,760
his fellow Americans, and for his Chinese friends, and for

1132
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:41,880
all men of goodwill, is exactly the kind of life

1133
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:45,800
we should like to see possible everywhere. It is my

1134
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,279
fervent hope that the John Birch Society will last for

1135
01:17:48,359 --> 01:17:53,199
hundreds of years and exert an increasing influence for the

1136
01:17:53,239 --> 01:17:57,279
temporal good and the spiritual and noblement of mankind throughout

1137
01:17:57,359 --> 01:18:01,000
those centuries. For I am staking my mind whole aspiration

1138
01:18:01,119 --> 01:18:05,199
to play my part in forwarding man's one increasing purpose

1139
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:10,079
on whatever can be accomplished through it. The John Budge

1140
01:18:10,159 --> 01:18:17,479
Society is to be a monolithic body, a republican. A

1141
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:22,840
republican form of government are of organization has many attractions

1142
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:27,640
and advantages under certain favorable conditions, but under less happy

1143
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:32,680
circumstances it lends itself too readily to infiltration, distortion, and

1144
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:38,840
disruption and democracy of course in government or organization. As

1145
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,640
the Greeks and Romans both found out, and as I

1146
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:45,640
believe every man in this room clearly recognizes, democracy is

1147
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:49,840
merely a deceptive phrase, a weapon of demagoguery, and a

1148
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:55,239
perennial fraud. The fear of tyrannical oppression of individuals and

1149
01:18:55,359 --> 01:18:58,880
other arguments against the authoritative structure in the form of

1150
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:03,319
governments have little bearing on the case of a voluntary association,

1151
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:08,760
where the authoritative power can be exercised and enforced only

1152
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:12,720
by persuasion, and what little validity they do have is

1153
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:16,800
outweighed by the advantages of firm and positive direction of

1154
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:21,840
the society's energies. Especially for the near future and for

1155
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:25,199
the fight against communism, which is the first great task

1156
01:19:25,239 --> 01:19:28,319
of the society, it is imperative that all the strength

1157
01:19:28,399 --> 01:19:32,479
we can must be subject to smoothly functioning direction from

1158
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:36,439
the top. As I've said before, no collection of debating

1159
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:40,239
societies is ever going to stop the communist conspiracy from

1160
01:19:40,279 --> 01:19:40,960
taking us.

1161
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:42,199
Speaker 1: Over, and I have.

1162
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:52,119
Speaker 5: And I have no intention of adding another frustrated group

1163
01:19:52,359 --> 01:19:56,079
to their number. We mean business every step of the

1164
01:19:56,119 --> 01:20:06,079
way we can allow. We can allow for differences of opinion.

1165
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:09,840
We shall need and welcome advice, and we expect to

1166
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:14,079
use the normal measure of diplomacy always called far in.

1167
01:20:14,119 --> 01:20:15,359
Speaker 1: Dealing with human beings.

1168
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 5: But whenever differences of opinion become translated into a lack

1169
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:24,000
of loyal support, we shall have shortcuts for eliminating both

1170
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:29,880
without going through any congress of so called democratic processes. Otherwise,

1171
01:20:30,279 --> 01:20:36,119
communist infiltrators could bug us down in interminable disagreements, schisms,

1172
01:20:36,239 --> 01:20:41,439
and feuds before we ever became seriously effective. The purpose

1173
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:44,479
of the John Virch Society, as officially stated, will be

1174
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:48,720
to promote less government, more responsibility, and a better world.

1175
01:20:49,199 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 1: That says it.

1176
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:53,560
Speaker 5: All members of the John Birch Society, not only in

1177
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:57,159
the United States but anywhere in the world, not only

1178
01:20:57,279 --> 01:21:00,720
can be good patriots in their respective cuts entries, but

1179
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:05,960
necessarily will be. For internationalism as it is conceived and

1180
01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:10,800
promoted today is an attempt to impose more government and

1181
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:15,079
a more centralized one world government on all of us everywhere.

1182
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:19,680
For that reason, it is automatically contrary to everything we

1183
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:23,159
stand for, and one of the movements we shall oppose

1184
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:27,279
with all the strength we can. The John Birch Society

1185
01:21:27,279 --> 01:21:31,640
will function almost entirely through small local chapters.

1186
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:33,159
Speaker 1: Each will have a chapter.

1187
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:36,279
Speaker 5: Leader appointed through offices of the Society in the field,

1188
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:41,439
who have themselves been duly appointed by headquarters, the dues,

1189
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:44,399
or whatever their member wants to make them with a

1190
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:46,680
minimum of twenty four dollars per year for men and

1191
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:50,720
twelve dollars per year for women. We shall expect the

1192
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:53,359
chapter leader to get all of his or her chapters

1193
01:21:53,359 --> 01:21:56,600
together at least once a month, and in many cases oftener.

1194
01:21:57,199 --> 01:21:59,680
And we expect the chapter leader to be in practically

1195
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:03,720
contentious contact with his or her members to whatever extent

1196
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:08,359
may be necessary for handling the organizational mechanics of the

1197
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:11,199
Society and for helping to form new chapters. We shall

1198
01:22:11,199 --> 01:22:13,680
have a paid staff man with a title of coordinator

1199
01:22:14,039 --> 01:22:18,279
for each area of the proper size. Above these coordinators,

1200
01:22:18,319 --> 01:22:22,159
in time, we shall have supervisors with the rank or

1201
01:22:22,239 --> 01:22:25,720
title of major coordinators. And we shall further build the

1202
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:29,600
organizational framework from the bottom up, as made necessary by

1203
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:34,680
sufficient membership. We are expecting far more work and dedication,

1204
01:22:35,119 --> 01:22:38,640
and far more sacrifice of other interests on the part

1205
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:40,960
of those who do become members of the John Birch

1206
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,640
Society than you have ever thought of giving to any

1207
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:49,000
other organization which you joined or even considered joining. For

1208
01:22:49,159 --> 01:22:52,760
unless we have the cumulated weight and effect of such

1209
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:55,880
solid effort and sacrifice on the part of our members

1210
01:22:56,199 --> 01:22:59,159
as a weapon to be wielded against the Communists, we

1211
01:22:59,239 --> 01:23:01,520
are certainly not going to be able to hold on

1212
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:06,039
to even the increasingly confused, dark and immral world. We

1213
01:23:06,119 --> 01:23:09,840
now have much less help to build a better one.

1214
01:23:10,039 --> 01:23:13,319
So we are asking for a lot, and we want

1215
01:23:13,359 --> 01:23:15,680
you to know it if in when you sign an

1216
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:19,720
application blank from membership in the John Birch Society, that

1217
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,399
brings us next to a consideration as to the very

1218
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:25,479
nature of our undertaking, which needs to be made clear

1219
01:23:26,399 --> 01:23:30,279
for all revolutions, as Metternich once pointed out, begin.

1220
01:23:30,079 --> 01:23:31,880
Speaker 1: In the best minds and write downward.

1221
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:35,760
Speaker 5: While most religions begin at the bottom with the masses

1222
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:40,039
and gradually acquire both respectability and acceptance at the top,

1223
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:44,680
we are neither and both far from founding a religion.

1224
01:23:45,279 --> 01:23:49,520
We are merely urging Protestants, Catholics, Jews are Moslims to

1225
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:53,000
be better Christians. Better Jews are better Muslims in accordance

1226
01:23:53,039 --> 01:23:57,159
with the deepest and most humanitarian promptings of their own

1227
01:23:57,359 --> 01:24:01,159
religious beliefs. And we are simple trying to draw a

1228
01:24:01,199 --> 01:24:04,800
circle of faith in God's power and purpose and of

1229
01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:08,960
man's relationship to both, which is broad and inclusive enough

1230
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:13,760
to take each man's specific faith into that circle without violation.

1231
01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:18,399
Yet the evangelical fervor with which we expect our members

1232
01:24:18,399 --> 01:24:20,880
to fight the forces of evil and work for a

1233
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:25,680
better world makes certain principles with regard to religious groups

1234
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:30,119
apply to ourselves. We are not beginning any revolution, nor

1235
01:24:30,159 --> 01:24:34,079
even a counter revolution, in any technical sense, because while

1236
01:24:34,079 --> 01:24:38,560
we are opposing a conspiracy, we are not ourselves making

1237
01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:44,439
use of conspiratorial methods. Yet our determination to overthrow an

1238
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:48,880
entrenched tyranny is the very stuff out of which revolutions

1239
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:52,600
are made. The net result of these reflections is that

1240
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:55,560
we are not a copy of any movement of the past.

1241
01:24:56,119 --> 01:24:59,920
We are unique. We are ourselves. We are something new

1242
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:04,079
as befits, a moving force for a new age. We

1243
01:25:04,119 --> 01:25:07,479
believe in profiting by all human experience, but we shall

1244
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:13,279
make our own amalgam of the organizational metals forged by

1245
01:25:13,279 --> 01:25:18,119
that experience, with the mercury of our own purpose. Without

1246
01:25:18,199 --> 01:25:22,159
darning sackcloth and ashes, we shall try to inspire saintly

1247
01:25:22,239 --> 01:25:23,880
men to join our efforts to.

1248
01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:25,039
Speaker 1: Make this a better world.

1249
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:29,079
Speaker 5: And without building barricades in the streets, we shall still

1250
01:25:29,119 --> 01:25:32,840
try to rally rational men to our efforts to preserve

1251
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:36,840
the best of the world we already have. And now, gentlemen,

1252
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:39,479
I am nearing the end of the semi formal part

1253
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:42,760
of this long undertaking as to what is expected of

1254
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:46,279
you in either effort or money. If you are thinking

1255
01:25:46,319 --> 01:25:49,840
of halfway measures, we might as well quit now. But

1256
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:53,079
I might as well also reveal my fanaticism by telling

1257
01:25:53,119 --> 01:25:56,319
you that there is no force and no discouragement.

1258
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:57,279
Speaker 1: Which could make me quick or.

1259
01:25:57,319 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 5: Even put less of my life and energy into the stroke.

1260
01:26:01,079 --> 01:26:13,880
The last, the last resort of my own mind, has

1261
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:19,720
been expressed by Louise Imogen Guinea. To fear not sensible failure,

1262
01:26:20,199 --> 01:26:24,000
nor covet the game at all, but fighting, fighting, fighting,

1263
01:26:24,319 --> 01:26:28,439
guy driven against the wall. I repeat, however, that we

1264
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,359
do not have to die driven against any war, nor

1265
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:34,239
do we have to lose the struggle at all. As

1266
01:26:34,279 --> 01:26:38,159
I've said elsewhere, there's enough strength, enough money, enough intelligence,

1267
01:26:38,199 --> 01:26:41,920
and enough patriotism in the vast business community of America

1268
01:26:42,119 --> 01:26:46,359
to form the nucleus that will stop and destroy the

1269
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:50,960
Commonist conspiracy if we can stir it to action in time.

1270
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:54,560
What I am proposing here is the mechanics and the

1271
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:58,520
leadership through men like yourselves by which it can be

1272
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:02,800
stirred to action and that action made effective. Let me

1273
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:06,000
repeat just one thing that I said to you yesterday morning.

1274
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:10,239
There are in the satellite countries today thousands of men

1275
01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:13,319
just like you and me, who only ten years ago

1276
01:27:13,319 --> 01:27:17,479
could regularly meet in such groups as I propose. Not

1277
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:20,680
only that, but they could go out openly within before

1278
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:23,640
larger groups to try to spread the alarm and to

1279
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:27,920
stop the Commonists from taking over their countries. These men

1280
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:31,319
now say to each other, but largely to themselves. If

1281
01:27:31,319 --> 01:27:34,520
I had only known, if I had only recognized and

1282
01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:40,439
believed the danger and the horror of commonest rule in time,

1283
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:44,000
there is nothing I would not have given to save.

1284
01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:46,399
Speaker 1: My freedom, my family, my country.

1285
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 5: If I had only recognized the urgency and the desperate need.

1286
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:54,760
Now it is all too late, and any sacrifice even

1287
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:59,239
of life itself would be entirely in vain. We do

1288
01:27:59,319 --> 01:28:01,359
not have to be too late, and we do not

1289
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:05,640
have to lose the fight. Commonism has its weaknesses, and

1290
01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:09,640
the conspiracy has its vulnerable points. We have many layers

1291
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:12,399
of strength not yet rodded by all of the infiltration

1292
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:16,159
and political sabotage to which we have been subjected. Our

1293
01:28:16,279 --> 01:28:19,479
danger is both immense and imminent, but it is not

1294
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:24,079
beyond the possibility of being overcome by the resistance that

1295
01:28:24,239 --> 01:28:27,439
is still available. All we must find and build and

1296
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:32,960
use to win is sufficient understanding. Let's create that understanding

1297
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:38,279
and build that resistance with everything mortal men can put

1298
01:28:38,279 --> 01:28:43,359
into the effort while there still is time. Then, while

1299
01:28:43,399 --> 01:28:46,760
we are destroying, and after we have destroyed the communist tyranny,

1300
01:28:47,359 --> 01:28:51,760
let's drive on towards our higher goals of more permanent accomplishment,

1301
01:28:52,159 --> 01:28:56,279
towards an era of less government and more responsibility in

1302
01:28:56,359 --> 01:29:14,439
which we can create a better world.

1303
01:29:17,359 --> 01:29:21,359
Speaker 2: And now, ladies and gentlemen, you can simply be yourselves again.

1304
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:30,520
Fifteen years after that last setting, we are over two

1305
01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:36,199
thousand virtures and friends at dinner together in Los Angeles

1306
01:29:36,279 --> 01:29:47,039
on March ninth, nineteen seventy four those of us at

1307
01:29:47,079 --> 01:29:52,560
this table that were a part of that party of eleven,

1308
01:29:55,439 --> 01:30:01,760
and I'm sure all of you I'll have a realization

1309
01:30:02,199 --> 01:30:08,279
of how accurately prophetic mister Welsh was fifteen years ago.

1310
01:30:15,119 --> 01:30:19,960
Now let's save time for him by omitting any further

1311
01:30:20,079 --> 01:30:24,960
introduction or comment by me or applause by you, as

1312
01:30:25,039 --> 01:30:29,079
we hear what he has to say about the next

1313
01:30:29,319 --> 01:30:30,960
fifteen years.

1314
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:45,520
Speaker 5: Bob, ladies and gentlemen, we shall now condense what needs

1315
01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:51,880
at least two full days into thirty minutes. So please

1316
01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:55,720
forgive the extent to which these remarks become both cryptic

1317
01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:59,760
and staccato. We pick up at the point where I

1318
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:02,680
had just finished the last line of the two day

1319
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:08,359
presentation at Indianapolis. Ben McMillan leaned forward in his chair,

1320
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:11,520
holding out towards me what looked like an old envelope

1321
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:15,039
on which he had been scribbling. I stepped forward, took it,

1322
01:31:15,199 --> 01:31:20,199
went back behind the podium, and then, to my delighted surprise,

1323
01:31:21,079 --> 01:31:23,039
was able to hold up for the other ten men

1324
01:31:23,079 --> 01:31:25,680
to see a check from Ben to the John Bird

1325
01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:30,119
Society for one thousand dollars with a note that read, here, Bob,

1326
01:31:30,159 --> 01:31:40,680
we're in business. Indeed, we were in business at once, and,

1327
01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:45,319
as Bob started has pointed out, in relatively better financial

1328
01:31:45,359 --> 01:31:54,079
position than we've ever been since. What's more, we proceeded

1329
01:31:54,119 --> 01:31:58,239
to survive in a bitterly hostile environment and are now

1330
01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:03,600
still celebrating our fifteenth anniversary, which occurred exactly three months ago.

1331
01:32:04,199 --> 01:32:06,479
So we begin this look toward the future with an

1332
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:11,560
extremely brief glance at the past. Section aid some points

1333
01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:17,000
to remember. One, Throughout all of the diverse pulling and

1334
01:32:17,079 --> 01:32:20,159
pressures from within and from without, the Society has been

1335
01:32:20,239 --> 01:32:24,960
kept strictly on its originally charted course. Two, it is

1336
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:30,119
still unique as the only cohesive, voluntary, non religious organization

1337
01:32:30,239 --> 01:32:34,399
for adult education on a permanent nationwide basis in all

1338
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:38,359
human history.

1339
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:41,119
Speaker 1: Three.

1340
01:32:42,119 --> 01:32:45,800
Speaker 5: Consequently, the Society has had to become a pioneer in

1341
01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:49,960
almost every respect, not only as to its organizational structure,

1342
01:32:50,399 --> 01:32:53,880
but by creating its own means and methods for carrying

1343
01:32:53,920 --> 01:33:00,560
out this educational task. Four, it offers the only kind

1344
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:05,479
of opposition which the collectiveness in general and the contemporary

1345
01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:10,840
international conspiracy in particular, have never faced before. We have

1346
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:15,399
maintained education as our total strategy and truth as our

1347
01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:20,000
only weapon. So the conspiracy has known only one way

1348
01:33:20,119 --> 01:33:25,520
to fight back, which was never tried to refute the accusations,

1349
01:33:26,079 --> 01:33:31,399
but always seek to destroy the accuser. Consequently, the Society,

1350
01:33:31,439 --> 01:33:34,119
from the time it was two years old began to

1351
01:33:34,159 --> 01:33:39,760
face more vicious smears, lying propaganda, massive attacks, and undermining

1352
01:33:39,840 --> 01:33:43,119
tactics than have ever been turned on any other non

1353
01:33:43,199 --> 01:33:44,640
religious group in America.

1354
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:45,880
Speaker 1: Five.

1355
01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:51,880
Speaker 5: Despite those impediments, our thoroughly organized educational program is now

1356
01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:58,479
functioning solidly, continuously, and with rapidly increasing effectiveness in all

1357
01:33:58,560 --> 01:34:03,800
fifty states, also at an embryonic stage in three foreign countries,

1358
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:14,239
and with and with an amorphous influence that extends thinly

1359
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:15,760
throughout the world.

1360
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:17,840
Speaker 1: Six.

1361
01:34:18,319 --> 01:34:21,479
Speaker 5: The educational tools and methods of the John Birg Society

1362
01:34:22,039 --> 01:34:27,960
now include books, pamphlets and reprints distributed by the millions

1363
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:31,640
of copies per year, a monthly and a weekly magazine,

1364
01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:37,920
which are becoming increasingly recognized as authoritative in their field. Films,

1365
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:43,680
film strips, records, reel suriel tapes and cassettes, which altogether

1366
01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:47,399
are played to an enormous quantity of people. And a

1367
01:34:47,439 --> 01:34:51,000
speakers bureau which, when measured by the number of engagements

1368
01:34:51,039 --> 01:34:54,640
filled or the total audience reached we believe to be

1369
01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:55,960
the largest in the world.

1370
01:34:56,840 --> 01:34:57,159
Speaker 1: Seven.

1371
01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:03,279
Speaker 5: Through literally thousands of Bathooe committees, including our speakers forums,

1372
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:07,600
we have multiplied the reach and defectiveness of our actual

1373
01:35:07,720 --> 01:35:09,479
members at least four fold.

1374
01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:10,720
Speaker 1: Eight.

1375
01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:15,239
Speaker 5: Through the tireless patriotic thought, labor and dedication of its

1376
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:19,119
staff and tens of thousands of its members, the Society

1377
01:35:19,159 --> 01:35:23,399
has played an extremely important role in certain basic battles

1378
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:28,000
staged by the conspiracy. These have included our part in

1379
01:35:28,079 --> 01:35:31,960
preventing the establishment of a Negro Soviet republic in the

1380
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:37,439
Southeastern States, our stopping cold almost entirely through the impact

1381
01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:41,520
of allen Stein's pamphlets and speeches, a similar movement by

1382
01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:46,239
Rasti Arena to set up a Chicano independent government in

1383
01:35:46,279 --> 01:35:51,159
some of our southwestern states, and largely by using patriotic

1384
01:35:51,239 --> 01:35:55,239
Indians as our speakers and project leaders, our current blocking

1385
01:35:55,319 --> 01:36:00,319
of a similar American Indian movement so decisively that Theist

1386
01:36:00,399 --> 01:36:04,800
controlled scoundrels at the head of it are blaming us

1387
01:36:05,159 --> 01:36:06,720
for all of our troubles.

1388
01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 1: Nine. Nine.

1389
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 5: With regard to more explicit activities, let us offer an example.

1390
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:23,880
The notorious doctor Martin Luther King was a spoul, a

1391
01:36:23,960 --> 01:36:29,279
pro communist philandering, big spending, trouble making, violence creating, liar

1392
01:36:29,359 --> 01:36:32,800
and crook, as the Conspiracy has ever sponsored in any

1393
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:43,760
of its programs against any people, and almost single handed

1394
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:49,520
through our very courageous and patriotic Negro speakers, we exposed

1395
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:53,960
these facts so thoroughly that King became only an embarrassment

1396
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:58,439
to the insiders like Nelson Rockefeller, who were financing his

1397
01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:02,560
carnival show. In fact, during the last weeks of his life,

1398
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:07,520
King canceled entirely the whole series of speeches already set

1399
01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:11,079
up for him on a tour from Memphis to Richmond

1400
01:37:11,079 --> 01:37:11,439
and back.

1401
01:37:12,159 --> 01:37:13,239
Speaker 1: Rather than be up.

1402
01:37:13,079 --> 01:37:17,680
Speaker 5: Against the exposures in a parallel series of speeches over

1403
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:22,079
the same area by our speaker Julia Brown, he could

1404
01:37:29,039 --> 01:37:32,680
He could no longer be of any practical value to

1405
01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:37,000
the insiders at all as a live agitator, but only

1406
01:37:37,079 --> 01:37:42,239
as a falsely glorified dead martyr. So much to our regret,

1407
01:37:43,079 --> 01:37:46,920
that gruesome transformation was arranged by the Conspiracy in very

1408
01:37:46,960 --> 01:37:52,199
short order. Also, let us mention the magnificent role played

1409
01:37:52,199 --> 01:37:56,680
by our support your local police committees all over the

1410
01:37:56,760 --> 01:38:01,560
United States in putting an almost end to the Communist

1411
01:38:01,600 --> 01:38:12,000
inspired and communist controlled civilian police review boards. These boards.

1412
01:38:13,319 --> 01:38:17,800
These boards had been designed by the ruthless harassment of

1413
01:38:17,880 --> 01:38:21,039
all police officers who tried to do their duty in

1414
01:38:21,119 --> 01:38:25,319
handling communist criminals and agitators. And there have been about

1415
01:38:25,359 --> 01:38:31,159
forty other specific, similar specific accomplishments of major or appreciable

1416
01:38:31,199 --> 01:38:35,479
importance for which the Society has been responsible in the

1417
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:39,079
course of its efforts to expose and slow down or

1418
01:38:39,159 --> 01:38:45,319
stop various projects of the conspiracy. Ten and most important

1419
01:38:45,319 --> 01:38:49,119
of all is a general consideration. For a dozen years,

1420
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:53,840
there have been unceasing efforts, mostly behind the scenes, on

1421
01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:56,239
the part of both Richard Nixon and William F.

1422
01:38:56,279 --> 01:38:57,079
Speaker 1: Buckley Jr.

1423
01:38:57,479 --> 01:39:01,039
Speaker 5: To damage or destroy the John birdg Society that have

1424
01:39:01,159 --> 01:39:05,319
been more open but recurrent attacks, frequently laced with vicious

1425
01:39:05,359 --> 01:39:08,319
lives for the same purpose on the part of some

1426
01:39:08,399 --> 01:39:13,720
thirty senators, governors, and pundits of the press and the airways. Yet,

1427
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:18,239
despite all of these smears, the standing and character of

1428
01:39:18,279 --> 01:39:22,760
our members, the dependability of our educational tools, and the

1429
01:39:22,880 --> 01:39:26,960
quality of our methods have gradually brought about an immense

1430
01:39:27,119 --> 01:39:30,159
change in the attitude of the public towards the John

1431
01:39:30,199 --> 01:39:34,479
Birch Society. Until today the fraction of the public that

1432
01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:38,760
feels favorably towards the society has climbed from about four

1433
01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:41,560
percent to at least fifty percent.

1434
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:42,920
Speaker 1: And a final.

1435
01:39:52,239 --> 01:39:54,920
Speaker 5: And a final measure of our value to the anti

1436
01:39:54,920 --> 01:40:00,399
communist cause can be expressed most comprehensively in a single thought.

1437
01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:03,520
Suppose there had been no John Brudg Society at all,

1438
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:07,319
and no sign of its educational program over these past

1439
01:40:07,399 --> 01:40:11,439
fifteen years, then just try to imagine how much more

1440
01:40:11,479 --> 01:40:14,439
completely in the dark the American people would beat to

1441
01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:18,399
day about all that is happening, and how tremendously easier

1442
01:40:18,479 --> 01:40:21,600
it would be for the insiders of the conspiracy to

1443
01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:26,359
carry out the final steps in their plot to enslave us.

1444
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:33,560
Section B how fares the other side one. For almost

1445
01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:37,880
two hundred years, the goal of this self perpetuating conspiracy

1446
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:43,039
has been to destroy all religion, all regularly established governments,

1447
01:40:43,079 --> 01:40:47,800
and all traditional human institutions, and then to impose its

1448
01:40:48,039 --> 01:40:51,880
new world order on the chaotic ruins that will be left.

1449
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:57,000
The conspirators have never been able to destroy anything of importance, however,

1450
01:40:57,359 --> 01:41:01,439
by attacks from the outside, but only by subversion from

1451
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:06,119
the insights. Almost every member of the conspiracy therefore leads

1452
01:41:06,159 --> 01:41:10,680
a continuous life of falsehood to his friends, of pretense

1453
01:41:10,760 --> 01:41:14,199
to the public, and of underlying doubt with regard to

1454
01:41:14,239 --> 01:41:19,600
his own future. From Algeister Richard Nixon, every communist or

1455
01:41:19,640 --> 01:41:23,560
insider has a gnawing fear that, although he is a

1456
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:28,239
peacock today, he may be a feather duster of tomorrow.

1457
01:41:41,399 --> 01:41:45,560
The abnormality of such existence adds up to a basic

1458
01:41:45,720 --> 01:41:50,399
liability which is forever tugging away at the solidity of

1459
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:55,560
the whole conspiratorial organization, and the effects of this defiance

1460
01:41:55,640 --> 01:41:59,119
of all normal human instincts are beginning to show up

1461
01:41:59,159 --> 01:42:03,960
today the whole international scene more clearly than ever before.

1462
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:05,159
Speaker 1: Two.

1463
01:42:06,119 --> 01:42:10,359
Speaker 5: The insiders and the illuminati before them have always intended

1464
01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:14,119
that about three percent of any population should have absolute

1465
01:42:14,239 --> 01:42:18,359
rule over the other ninety seven percent. This is because

1466
01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:23,760
their obscene lust for power is more happily satisfied by

1467
01:42:23,880 --> 01:42:28,680
success in proportion to the scarcity of others who also

1468
01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:32,079
enjoy the prequisites of power, in other words, by an

1469
01:42:32,079 --> 01:42:37,359
inverse ratio. This seems a very strange and cruel psychological

1470
01:42:37,479 --> 01:42:41,520
quirk to traditional Americans in a country where even those

1471
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:45,039
with the ambition and ability to become very rich. Have

1472
01:42:45,159 --> 01:42:48,359
always wanted to see others become rich also, and to

1473
01:42:48,399 --> 01:42:51,279
have everybody around them enjoy all the comforts and even

1474
01:42:51,399 --> 01:42:56,520
luxuries of an increasing national prosperity. And this attitude alone

1475
01:42:56,640 --> 01:42:59,960
on the part of the insiders, as demonstrated at present

1476
01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:03,399
by their calculated effort to wipe out the whole middle

1477
01:43:03,439 --> 01:43:07,000
class and to reduce everybody but themselves to a level

1478
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:11,239
of bast subsistence, is going to militate very strongly against

1479
01:43:11,279 --> 01:43:14,520
them as their design becomes more obvious.

1480
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:15,800
Speaker 1: Three.

1481
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:23,960
Speaker 5: The the whole conspiracy always has been, and still is,

1482
01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:30,600
an over extended, very thin shell of power, being constantly

1483
01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:35,920
enlarged by blood, audacity, and the ruthless use of terror

1484
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:39,840
terror to smother all resistance piecemeal.

1485
01:43:40,880 --> 01:43:42,960
Speaker 1: The insiders themselves.

1486
01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:46,319
Speaker 5: Never know just when or where this shell may be broken,

1487
01:43:46,880 --> 01:43:49,840
nor how serious they break may be.

1488
01:43:50,840 --> 01:43:52,159
Speaker 1: The forced exile of.

1489
01:43:52,119 --> 01:43:55,239
Speaker 5: The pro communist King Constantine of Greece by an anti

1490
01:43:55,239 --> 01:43:59,119
communist military hunter was one example. A more recent one

1491
01:43:59,159 --> 01:44:03,600
has been the placement of Salvador Allendi, the communist bosson

1492
01:44:03,640 --> 01:44:07,319
would be tyrant of Chile, by an anti communist military group,

1493
01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:17,079
which suddainly seems as does the one in Greece to

1494
01:44:17,119 --> 01:44:21,199
be determined to restore a constitutional, republican government to their

1495
01:44:21,239 --> 01:44:26,319
respective countries as rapidly as possible. The conspiracy certainly cannot

1496
01:44:26,319 --> 01:44:28,840
be sure of what is going to happen on mainland

1497
01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:33,000
China when MARCHI Toong dies, or how long Willie Brandt

1498
01:44:33,039 --> 01:44:36,000
can last in West Germany, when despite all of the

1499
01:44:36,079 --> 01:44:39,840
moral support that Richard Nixon could give him, he still

1500
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:43,479
barely won the last election in nineteen seventy two by

1501
01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:48,600
two votes which were purchased through outright bribery. Also, of course,

1502
01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:52,800
per Elliott Trudeau, still ruling Canada without even a majority,

1503
01:44:53,279 --> 01:44:56,279
could have the sordid facts of his utterly treasonous and

1504
01:44:56,359 --> 01:44:59,079
criminal past begin to catch up with him in the

1505
01:44:59,119 --> 01:45:02,159
minds of the Canadian. And there are a dozen other

1506
01:45:02,520 --> 01:45:06,399
seriously weak spots in the shell where there could be

1507
01:45:06,479 --> 01:45:11,800
a blowout at any time. Four in Soviet Russia itself.

1508
01:45:12,079 --> 01:45:14,680
As you may learn from all the trustworthy news that

1509
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:20,479
you can excavate, there is doubt that even another Stalene

1510
01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:21,640
could hold the lid.

1511
01:45:21,399 --> 01:45:23,800
Speaker 1: Down tight enough on the boiling pot.

1512
01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:27,199
Speaker 5: There is a crime wave among the youth at least

1513
01:45:27,239 --> 01:45:32,119
equal to our own. Over half of all crimes of assault, rape,

1514
01:45:32,159 --> 01:45:34,960
and hooliganism by children of the ages of sixteen and

1515
01:45:35,079 --> 01:45:39,840
seventeen are due to intoxication. A recent report showed that

1516
01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:44,279
over eighty percent of these youngsters had started drinking vodka

1517
01:45:44,319 --> 01:45:48,279
before they were sixteen. There are now increased fines for

1518
01:45:48,399 --> 01:45:52,159
parents and jail sentences for others who encourage youth under

1519
01:45:52,159 --> 01:45:58,359
eighteen to escapism from sordid reality by the nepenthe of alcohol.

1520
01:45:59,199 --> 01:46:02,199
But even these tender attentions from the loving big brother

1521
01:46:02,279 --> 01:46:05,640
government do not seem to provide the promised degree of

1522
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:11,359
bliss in this commonist paradise, nor does anything else. Charges

1523
01:46:11,399 --> 01:46:15,520
of ideological aberration and even treasonous heresy by some officials

1524
01:46:15,560 --> 01:46:20,600
against other officials have become commonplace. So Sendson has had

1525
01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:24,439
plenty of company among scientists as well as other writers,

1526
01:46:24,439 --> 01:46:28,960
in risking imprisonment, torture, or death for complaining about the

1527
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:32,760
inhuman conditions and the spread of terror in many parts

1528
01:46:32,800 --> 01:46:36,199
of the vast Soviet Union, besides the prison camps.

1529
01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:38,000
Speaker 1: Even after half.

1530
01:46:37,760 --> 01:46:41,680
Speaker 5: A century of unceasing attempts to stamp out all religion,

1531
01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:46,239
the powers that be today and some have some hopes

1532
01:46:46,279 --> 01:46:50,520
of still being tomorrow, are now having some trouble with

1533
01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:55,960
a religious revival, more trouble than from many years. Indeed,

1534
01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:59,600
the resistance of all kinds at any cost has now

1535
01:46:59,680 --> 01:47:03,119
gone so far that for the first time Soviet planes

1536
01:47:03,199 --> 01:47:07,399
on domestic flights are being hijacked by Soviet citizens in

1537
01:47:07,479 --> 01:47:19,720
attempts to escape. The plain truth is that the commissars

1538
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:23,760
who are trying to rule the Soviet Union today are

1539
01:47:23,800 --> 01:47:26,960
sitting on a powder keg which would blow up at

1540
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:32,239
any minute that they ceased to have the ostentatious financial support,

1541
01:47:32,600 --> 01:47:36,159
moral support, and material support of the United States government.

1542
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:44,199
And the same thing is true of a great many

1543
01:47:44,239 --> 01:47:48,640
other regions within the vast communist corral of nations.

1544
01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:50,079
Speaker 1: Five.

1545
01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:54,880
Speaker 5: The truth is that everything now depends more than ever

1546
01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:59,720
before on what happens in the United States, and this

1547
01:47:59,840 --> 01:48:03,479
is a shaky read on which the insiders are leaning.

1548
01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:05,640
Speaker 1: They are using the.

1549
01:48:06,279 --> 01:48:11,359
Speaker 5: Protracted assault on Nixon to distract American minds from what

1550
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:15,600
Nixon is still doing to advance communist plans, also to

1551
01:48:15,680 --> 01:48:19,840
cause distrust and despair in American minds about our whole

1552
01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:24,000
economic political system so as to get an easier acceptance

1553
01:48:24,119 --> 01:48:28,479
of drastic changes which spell communism. But they are also

1554
01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:34,359
generating some very serious bitterness and rivalries within top revolutionary circles.

1555
01:48:34,960 --> 01:48:38,760
Few men, if any, have ever done more to increase

1556
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:43,039
Commonist power and prestige at home and abroad than Richard Nixon,

1557
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:47,720
and few have been more skillful at seamtting grateful Communist

1558
01:48:47,840 --> 01:48:52,560
commissars and ambitious insiders into the circle of his own support.

1559
01:48:53,439 --> 01:48:56,560
Yet some of the most powerful insiders seem determined to

1560
01:48:56,640 --> 01:49:00,359
throw Nixon overboard in order to put more power directly

1561
01:49:00,399 --> 01:49:04,119
into the hands of the Rockefeller faction and such Rockefeller

1562
01:49:04,159 --> 01:49:07,960
agents as Henry Kissinger, and we believe that they are

1563
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:10,600
thereby creating a lot of future.

1564
01:49:10,319 --> 01:49:13,720
Speaker 1: Headaches for the whole conspiracy. Six.

1565
01:49:14,640 --> 01:49:18,359
Speaker 5: More important than any of these considerations, however, is a

1566
01:49:18,479 --> 01:49:23,720
now rapid awakening among the American people. What happened to

1567
01:49:23,760 --> 01:49:26,680
the Equal Rights Amendment last year, and to the Genocide

1568
01:49:26,720 --> 01:49:29,720
Treaty and the Land Use Bill this year are just

1569
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:33,760
straws in the wind. The insiders have not dared to

1570
01:49:33,840 --> 01:49:37,920
install actual rationing of gasoline, which they have so badly wanted,

1571
01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:42,359
nor has the Nixon administration yet dared to establish full

1572
01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:47,760
diplomatic relations with Red China. Also, we think the present

1573
01:49:47,840 --> 01:49:52,640
obvious intention to surrender the Panama Canal completely into international

1574
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:57,880
communist hands. Through the communist government of Panama may run

1575
01:49:57,920 --> 01:50:01,840
into quite a jot. Didn't bumper stickers appear on that

1576
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:07,399
many American cars reading as followers, don't give Panama our Canal?

1577
01:50:07,680 --> 01:50:34,960
Give them Kissinger instead, And ladies and gentlemen, we are

1578
01:50:35,079 --> 01:50:37,600
accepting orders for those stickers.

1579
01:50:37,199 --> 01:50:45,520
Speaker 1: Right now at four for one dollar seven.

1580
01:50:46,279 --> 01:50:50,960
Speaker 5: These are also straws in the wind, but the insiders

1581
01:50:50,960 --> 01:50:54,000
can see which way the straws are blowing. The next

1582
01:50:54,039 --> 01:50:58,880
administration already has executive orders on the books sufficient to

1583
01:50:59,039 --> 01:51:03,479
establish a dictatorship, but Nixon does not dare to make

1584
01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:09,039
a protest to be their reception or their constitutionality. Regional

1585
01:51:09,119 --> 01:51:13,359
government Regional government is being pushed hard, but still on

1586
01:51:13,399 --> 01:51:17,039
the phony pretense of increasing federal cooperation with state and

1587
01:51:17,079 --> 01:51:22,319
local governments rather than usurping all of their functions and powers.

1588
01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:26,199
The drive for more and bigger crime waves, although fully

1589
01:51:26,279 --> 01:51:29,439
supported and encouraged by the pro communist governors of at

1590
01:51:29,479 --> 01:51:33,079
least five states, has not yet dared go far enough

1591
01:51:33,159 --> 01:51:37,479
to make the American people welcome a national gestapo. All

1592
01:51:37,520 --> 01:51:42,359
of the conspiratorial forces with municipal, state and federal backing

1593
01:51:42,760 --> 01:51:46,239
have not yet succeeded in taking our guns away from us,

1594
01:51:46,560 --> 01:51:57,239
and the insiders have never been able and the insiders

1595
01:51:57,279 --> 01:52:00,760
have never been able to establish permanent communists rule over

1596
01:52:00,840 --> 01:52:07,880
any country whose citizens were armed. Eight And the biggest

1597
01:52:08,079 --> 01:52:12,319
problem of the whole conspiracy, as we said in the

1598
01:52:12,359 --> 01:52:21,319
March bulletin, is even more basically, it is the incredible strength, productivity, resourcefulness,

1599
01:52:21,319 --> 01:52:26,600
and momentum of the American free enterprise system which makes

1600
01:52:26,640 --> 01:52:35,319
it which makes it so extremely difficult to destroy. Also,

1601
01:52:35,479 --> 01:52:39,479
there is a changing mood, a rising spirit of anger

1602
01:52:39,600 --> 01:52:43,720
and determination coming up in the American people, which is

1603
01:52:43,840 --> 01:52:48,199
crowding the insiders into a race against time. For time

1604
01:52:48,600 --> 01:52:53,079
like truth is on our side. So with all of

1605
01:52:53,119 --> 01:52:57,439
these factors, so with all of these factors and circumstances

1606
01:52:57,439 --> 01:53:02,760
in mind, we solemnly ask ourselves house stands the battle today,

1607
01:53:03,880 --> 01:53:08,319
and in deadly seriousness, seriousness, we repeat the answer that

1608
01:53:08,359 --> 01:53:12,039
we started giving you in nineteen seventy three early in

1609
01:53:12,039 --> 01:53:15,439
the year. We think that for the past year, the

1610
01:53:15,439 --> 01:53:19,800
objective odds have been and as of today still are

1611
01:53:20,359 --> 01:53:24,920
about even in this struggle for victory by either side.

1612
01:53:25,560 --> 01:53:29,439
This is because we now have the size and strength

1613
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:33,520
and resources. I'm sorry, that's a misprintment.

1614
01:53:34,039 --> 01:53:34,680
Speaker 1: This is.

1615
01:53:36,600 --> 01:53:41,680
Speaker 5: Not because we now have the size not being left.

1616
01:53:41,960 --> 01:53:43,880
This is not because we now have the size and

1617
01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:48,119
strength and resources to meet the enemy on realistic terms.

1618
01:53:48,199 --> 01:53:48,680
Speaker 1: Not at all.

1619
01:53:49,479 --> 01:53:52,159
Speaker 5: We don't, not at all, my friends. We never delude

1620
01:53:52,159 --> 01:53:56,680
ourselves nor anybody else. But it is primarily we think

1621
01:53:56,760 --> 01:53:59,960
the odds objectively or even because we really mean better

1622
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:03,399
business in this most crucial fight of all human history,

1623
01:54:03,840 --> 01:54:07,119
as we always have. We believe it is possible for

1624
01:54:07,199 --> 01:54:11,359
us to continue expanding our total program until it does

1625
01:54:11,439 --> 01:54:16,000
measure up to the practical need before the hour is

1626
01:54:16,039 --> 01:54:20,079
too late. And that even if the conspirators, sensing and

1627
01:54:20,239 --> 01:54:24,119
fearing this possibility, should have some of us meet with

1628
01:54:24,199 --> 01:54:29,239
fatal accidents our start unleashing against the society more vicious

1629
01:54:29,279 --> 01:54:33,680
falsehoods than ever before, we are still prepared. Our total

1630
01:54:33,760 --> 01:54:37,880
undertaking now has the organization, the experience, the courage, and

1631
01:54:37,960 --> 01:54:41,720
the will power to use our growing strength to best advantage,

1632
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:44,680
to act as a catalyst and a rallying point for

1633
01:54:44,760 --> 01:54:48,960
the patriotic uprising that is now underway, and thus to

1634
01:54:49,039 --> 01:54:52,920
play a decisive part in helping to save our country

1635
01:54:53,199 --> 01:54:57,840
and hence our whole civilization from the living death that

1636
01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:02,279
is called communism. Section C, which is the last of

1637
01:55:02,279 --> 01:55:05,720
the three sections in this section seed, So what.

1638
01:55:05,880 --> 01:55:07,279
Speaker 1: Must we do to be saved?

1639
01:55:08,520 --> 01:55:11,359
Speaker 5: Having thus used two thirds of our time on the

1640
01:55:11,399 --> 01:55:14,079
background of the speech, let us now use the other

1641
01:55:14,199 --> 01:55:18,439
third on the substance that will justify its title. So

1642
01:55:18,560 --> 01:55:21,720
we first answer our question in the words of Saint Augustine.

1643
01:55:21,760 --> 01:55:24,159
We must pray as if it were all up to God,

1644
01:55:24,359 --> 01:55:26,279
but worked as if it were all up to us.

1645
01:55:27,399 --> 01:55:38,479
And and fundamentally our own work, of course, must be

1646
01:55:38,640 --> 01:55:42,439
exactly what we have already been doing, only a great

1647
01:55:42,479 --> 01:55:45,520
deal more of it, with more people to help us.

1648
01:55:45,960 --> 01:55:49,079
But the major purpose of this whole effort tonight is

1649
01:55:49,119 --> 01:55:53,520
to add a powerful new concept to our understanding and

1650
01:55:53,600 --> 01:55:57,439
our aims. To make that concept player, we must creep

1651
01:55:57,520 --> 01:55:59,920
up on it through a few brief items of history

1652
01:56:00,439 --> 01:56:02,920
out of a thousand details we should like to offer

1653
01:56:03,199 --> 01:56:07,640
for strengthening our point. So we skipped many volumes and

1654
01:56:07,720 --> 01:56:12,359
begin with one most significant fact. There was absolutely no

1655
01:56:12,479 --> 01:56:16,159
reason on earth for the American people, or any other

1656
01:56:16,199 --> 01:56:18,479
people for that matter, to become.

1657
01:56:18,159 --> 01:56:19,920
Speaker 1: Involved in World War One.

1658
01:56:20,920 --> 01:56:25,640
Speaker 5: The whole horrible conflict was deliberately plotted and brought about

1659
01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:29,720
by insiders of the Master Conspiracy through their working in

1660
01:56:29,920 --> 01:56:34,600
and on the governments of both sides, with loyalty to none.

1661
01:56:35,039 --> 01:56:39,279
Their objective was to create the ways and means through

1662
01:56:39,319 --> 01:56:43,479
which the war could be used to advance the Commonist movement.

1663
01:56:44,560 --> 01:56:48,520
The insider's three major goals in this respect with regard

1664
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:53,159
to World War One were aid to overthrow the government

1665
01:56:53,199 --> 01:56:57,439
of Russia and enable the Commonists to establish there a

1666
01:56:57,560 --> 01:57:02,920
first physical base of Commonnistas power. B to drag the

1667
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:06,880
United States into this kind of totalitarian foreign war with

1668
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:09,720
all the changes in the structure of our government and

1669
01:57:09,800 --> 01:57:12,840
the outlook of our people that the war wouldn't make possible,

1670
01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:17,039
and seem to give birth to the embryo of their

1671
01:57:17,079 --> 01:57:20,960
future world government in the form of the League of Nations.

1672
01:57:21,319 --> 01:57:25,640
The first two items on that profoundly evil agenda came

1673
01:57:25,680 --> 01:57:28,800
off according to designs, and it is hard to tell

1674
01:57:29,439 --> 01:57:32,359
which was most important to the conspirators.

1675
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:34,479
Speaker 1: Far from our entry.

1676
01:57:34,279 --> 01:57:38,520
Speaker 5: Into World War One, there was a prompt beginning and

1677
01:57:38,640 --> 01:57:42,880
thereafter a gradual development over the next twenty five years

1678
01:57:43,279 --> 01:57:47,119
of the role of the United States as a food supplier,

1679
01:57:47,800 --> 01:57:55,319
equipment manufacturer, prestige builder, financial angel, ideological disciple, general benefactor,

1680
01:57:55,720 --> 01:58:01,840
wartime ally military arsenal am vicious hatchetman for the Soviet Communists,

1681
01:58:02,800 --> 01:58:05,359
until by the end of World War II, the United

1682
01:58:05,359 --> 01:58:09,439
States government had clearly become the most powerful single force

1683
01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:14,079
in promoting the rise of commonist power all over the world.

1684
01:58:14,880 --> 01:58:17,279
Most of this was exactly in line with what the

1685
01:58:17,279 --> 01:58:21,760
insiders in the United States and elsewhere had plotted and expected,

1686
01:58:22,239 --> 01:58:26,399
so naturally they had used many waves of deceptive propaganda,

1687
01:58:26,800 --> 01:58:31,039
with much diplomatic trickery by their tools, and all the

1688
01:58:31,079 --> 01:58:35,039
governments involved, and every act of cold blooded murder or

1689
01:58:35,119 --> 01:58:39,479
vicious treason to their respective countries which would Row Wilson

1690
01:58:39,479 --> 01:58:43,560
and Winston Churchill together could devise in order to involve

1691
01:58:43,640 --> 01:58:49,119
us in World War I and its aftermath at verseilles adverseites,

1692
01:58:49,840 --> 01:58:54,600
but in typical communist fashion. As a means of continuing

1693
01:58:54,640 --> 01:58:56,359
and increasing.

1694
01:58:55,640 --> 01:58:57,720
Speaker 1: Our involvement in world.

1695
01:58:57,439 --> 01:59:03,199
Speaker 5: Affairs, the insiders all also invented a semantic weapon with

1696
01:59:03,279 --> 01:59:07,199
which to smear and ridicule and discredit all Americans who

1697
01:59:07,279 --> 01:59:12,680
were sensible enough to oppose their sinister plans. The basic

1698
01:59:13,359 --> 01:59:19,680
term of this ideological two was isolationists or isolationism, and

1699
01:59:19,760 --> 01:59:23,319
over the next few decades the insiders made it into

1700
01:59:23,359 --> 01:59:28,239
a verbal bludgeon of tremendous force. For World War II

1701
01:59:28,640 --> 01:59:33,039
was plotted, contrived, and utilized by the same conspiracy for

1702
01:59:33,079 --> 01:59:37,760
the very same purposes as World War One, plus many

1703
01:59:37,800 --> 01:59:41,279
other purposes as well as the same ones. Franklin Roosevelt

1704
01:59:41,279 --> 01:59:44,600
and George Marshall also aided every step of the way

1705
01:59:44,640 --> 01:59:49,199
by Winston Churchill even produced some improvements on the lies

1706
01:59:49,279 --> 01:59:53,399
and treason and ruthlessness of Wilson and House in order

1707
01:59:53,399 --> 01:59:57,520
to drag us into this new international milstrong and by

1708
01:59:57,520 --> 02:00:01,239
this time even prominent Americans this is by getting into

1709
02:00:01,279 --> 02:00:05,319
World War we're getting into World War II. Even prominent

1710
02:00:05,319 --> 02:00:10,039
Americans of unquestionable patriotism quailed before the prospect of being

1711
02:00:10,079 --> 02:00:15,840
called isolationists. Until by the decades after that war, the

1712
02:00:16,079 --> 02:00:21,359
now communist dominated American government had tens of thousands of bureaucrats,

1713
02:00:21,520 --> 02:00:26,119
millions of American soldiers, and billions of American dollars scattered

1714
02:00:26,119 --> 02:00:29,760
all over the world. This was for no other possible

1715
02:00:29,920 --> 02:00:33,680
real reason than to help the Communists to impose their

1716
02:00:33,720 --> 02:00:38,079
brutal tyranny on an average of seven thousand more newly

1717
02:00:38,199 --> 02:00:42,079
enslaved human beings somewhere in the world. Every hour of

1718
02:00:42,239 --> 02:00:47,720
every day, throughout every year, every lying pretense or diplomatic

1719
02:00:47,800 --> 02:00:52,119
skull degree imaginable, as well as every foul misuse conceivable

1720
02:00:52,119 --> 02:00:56,359
of American money and military might, was being utilized on

1721
02:00:56,479 --> 02:01:01,039
an enormous scale for that purpose by our conist controlled

1722
02:01:01,199 --> 02:01:05,760
State Department. And the surest way to discredit all critics

1723
02:01:07,399 --> 02:01:11,439
of this rampant treason was to vilify them as isolationists.

1724
02:01:12,359 --> 02:01:14,600
But the time has come at last when it is

1725
02:01:14,800 --> 02:01:19,840
both wise and possible to identify this brazen fraud as

1726
02:01:19,880 --> 02:01:22,680
one of the most blatant big lies in the whole

1727
02:01:22,840 --> 02:01:28,479
realm of communist propaganda. So brush the insider's dust out

1728
02:01:28,520 --> 02:01:32,159
of your eyes, my friends, and the communist soap SuDS

1729
02:01:32,239 --> 02:01:35,840
out of your brain, and ask yourselves, in all honesty,

1730
02:01:36,359 --> 02:01:39,640
what on earth is wrong with the United States simply

1731
02:01:39,760 --> 02:01:55,920
mining its own business, or with having its foreign policy

1732
02:01:56,079 --> 02:02:00,479
function primarily for the safety and benefit of the American people,

1733
02:02:06,279 --> 02:02:09,119
which is exactly what we had done for the first

1734
02:02:09,119 --> 02:02:11,920
one hundred and forty years of our existence as a nation,

1735
02:02:12,720 --> 02:02:16,920
to the incredible advantage of ourselves and everybody else. Everybody

1736
02:02:16,960 --> 02:02:23,000
that is, excepting numerically small clique of powerlusting conspirators who

1737
02:02:23,079 --> 02:02:27,680
had somehow inflicted themselves on a gullible world. We do

1738
02:02:27,800 --> 02:02:30,159
not have to pull into our shell by any means.

1739
02:02:31,039 --> 02:02:34,399
Certainly we had never done so when Yankee clippers sailed

1740
02:02:34,439 --> 02:02:38,319
the Seven Seas, or when American automobiles first began to

1741
02:02:38,359 --> 02:02:41,560
put the whole world on wheels. The United States should

1742
02:02:41,600 --> 02:02:45,319
be glad to maintain the comfortable minimum of diplomatic relations

1743
02:02:45,319 --> 02:02:48,800
with every civilized nation, as we always were. Our people

1744
02:02:48,800 --> 02:02:53,319
should certainly be glad to exchange commercial goods, cultural productions,

1745
02:02:53,319 --> 02:02:56,159
and happy visits with the people of all nations, as

1746
02:02:56,159 --> 02:02:59,600
we always have been. But we should remember Richard Cobden's

1747
02:02:59,640 --> 02:03:02,720
famous warning that real peace and happiness will come to

1748
02:03:02,800 --> 02:03:06,520
this earth when the peoples of different countries have as

1749
02:03:06,640 --> 02:03:09,319
much to do with each other as possible, and their

1750
02:03:09,359 --> 02:03:10,319
governments as.

1751
02:03:10,199 --> 02:03:11,199
Speaker 1: Little as possible.

1752
02:03:11,800 --> 02:03:25,279
Speaker 5: And we should also remember that the continuous colossal medley

1753
02:03:25,640 --> 02:03:29,159
of our government with the affairs of other governments all

1754
02:03:29,199 --> 02:03:33,359
over the world does unmeasurable damage to the people under

1755
02:03:33,399 --> 02:03:36,800
those other governments, and to our own people as well.

1756
02:03:37,439 --> 02:03:40,760
Let's get back on the road to greatness, which we

1757
02:03:41,479 --> 02:03:46,039
followed with such confidence and success during our first four

1758
02:03:46,119 --> 02:03:47,279
generations as.

1759
02:03:47,199 --> 02:03:48,239
Speaker 1: An independent nation.

1760
02:03:48,880 --> 02:03:52,439
Speaker 5: Then, standing on our own feet, let's once again become

1761
02:03:52,479 --> 02:03:56,279
an envied example for all the world by our productiveness,

1762
02:03:56,319 --> 02:04:00,640
our inventedness, our individual rights and freedoms and upper tunities,

1763
02:04:01,039 --> 02:04:05,199
by our sense of responsibility, our compassion for the unfortunate,

1764
02:04:05,520 --> 02:04:10,239
our basic moral codes, and our noble aspirations, and by

1765
02:04:10,319 --> 02:04:14,680
our determination to preserve the wonderful inheritance which our founding

1766
02:04:14,760 --> 02:04:18,960
fathers bequeathed to us for our own descendants, and as

1767
02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:22,920
an asylum for all worthy people who suffer under tyranny

1768
02:04:23,239 --> 02:04:27,279
through no fault of their own. If this worthy ambition

1769
02:04:28,760 --> 02:04:33,760
of this and this humane of this humane course be

1770
02:04:33,880 --> 02:04:40,119
dubbed isolationism, then let's take pride in being called isolationists.

1771
02:04:48,319 --> 02:04:51,640
Above all, let's not be not be prevented from using

1772
02:04:51,680 --> 02:04:57,239
our common sense, from leading patriotic lives and standing on

1773
02:04:57,319 --> 02:05:00,960
our god given rights through fear of a tricky phrase

1774
02:05:01,119 --> 02:05:04,920
invented for that very purpose by the most vile and

1775
02:05:05,039 --> 02:05:07,439
merciless criminals in all human history.

1776
02:05:08,600 --> 02:05:10,640
Speaker 1: Section D. I thought I'd combined this.

1777
02:05:10,760 --> 02:05:12,680
Speaker 5: In section C when I said it was the last,

1778
02:05:12,720 --> 02:05:13,159
But I do this.

1779
02:05:13,279 --> 02:05:15,399
Speaker 1: I split it. I do remember now I did find

1780
02:05:15,399 --> 02:05:16,479
a split it, but.

1781
02:05:16,479 --> 02:05:18,760
Speaker 5: Anyway, it's the last half of the last section. So

1782
02:05:19,119 --> 02:05:28,159
let me encourage you section D in conclusion. In fact,

1783
02:05:28,359 --> 02:05:31,439
if you're speaker were a young man of fifty and

1784
02:05:31,479 --> 02:05:35,720
a politician of which goodness knows he is neither, he

1785
02:05:35,760 --> 02:05:38,920
would start running for president in nineteen seventy six or

1786
02:05:38,960 --> 02:05:55,600
an isolationist flat form, and the internationalist insiders might be

1787
02:05:55,640 --> 02:05:59,239
amazed at how many millions of Americans or would come

1788
02:05:59,319 --> 02:06:02,800
such surgeon to his support. So we offer the idea

1789
02:06:02,920 --> 02:06:07,640
free to any qualified person who wants it, while we

1790
02:06:07,840 --> 02:06:11,319
turn to a very brief summarization of what we hope

1791
02:06:11,359 --> 02:06:16,039
the John Bird Society will help and even sometimes lead,

1792
02:06:16,279 --> 02:06:20,600
the American people to accomplish during the next fifteen years.

1793
02:06:22,079 --> 02:06:26,880
One our first and most important specific undertaking should be

1794
02:06:26,960 --> 02:06:37,039
to restore the complete independence of the United States. This

1795
02:06:37,039 --> 02:06:40,039
this includes our resolution to get us out of the

1796
02:06:40,119 --> 02:06:42,880
United Nations and get the United Nations out of the

1797
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:48,960
United States.

1798
02:06:51,000 --> 02:06:51,239
Speaker 1: Two.

1799
02:06:51,640 --> 02:06:55,359
Speaker 5: We must once again make our money freely redeemable in

1800
02:06:55,520 --> 02:07:05,039
gold at some realistic price. And we must take all

1801
02:07:05,319 --> 02:07:10,600
practicable legislative steps to prevent a recurrence of the enormous

1802
02:07:10,640 --> 02:07:15,000
thievery and other subbressive crimes that have been perpetrated on

1803
02:07:15,079 --> 02:07:20,079
the American people through a contrived inflation by every president

1804
02:07:20,119 --> 02:07:22,640
from Franklin Roosevelt through Richard Nixon.

1805
02:07:23,239 --> 02:07:27,000
Speaker 1: Three.

1806
02:07:28,079 --> 02:07:31,920
Speaker 5: Three we should reduce the number of government bureaus, of government,

1807
02:07:32,000 --> 02:07:35,840
civilian employees, and the whole quantity of government by at

1808
02:07:35,960 --> 02:07:45,279
least fifty percent, And we should achieve at least this

1809
02:07:45,479 --> 02:07:50,920
much reduction in proper fashion through gradually convincing a majority

1810
02:07:50,960 --> 02:07:54,439
of the American people of the wisdom of such a course.

1811
02:07:55,520 --> 02:07:55,800
Speaker 1: Four.

1812
02:07:56,600 --> 02:08:00,079
Speaker 5: We should withdraw all American troops from every spot on

1813
02:08:00,079 --> 02:08:04,279
Earth that is not American soil, except when and where

1814
02:08:04,399 --> 02:08:08,840
such troops may be required, as decided by Congress to

1815
02:08:09,000 --> 02:08:13,159
protect American lives and property from criminal vandalism.

1816
02:08:13,600 --> 02:08:13,880
Speaker 1: Five.

1817
02:08:21,000 --> 02:08:24,560
Speaker 5: Five We should get government out of the areas and

1818
02:08:24,680 --> 02:08:28,239
functions and activities where government does not belong.

1819
02:08:28,720 --> 02:08:29,039
Speaker 1: Again.

1820
02:08:30,319 --> 02:08:33,760
Speaker 5: Again, all steps to this end should be taken gradually,

1821
02:08:34,399 --> 02:08:37,840
but nevertheless, just as rapidly as enough of the American

1822
02:08:37,880 --> 02:08:42,720
people can be persuaded to support such progress. Any such

1823
02:08:42,760 --> 02:08:47,520
achievement will require a truly massive educational force, but that's

1824
02:08:47,600 --> 02:08:51,359
exactly what we hope to build during the next fifteen years.

1825
02:08:52,079 --> 02:08:55,680
We could go ahead for at least one hundred numbered items,

1826
02:08:56,039 --> 02:08:59,079
but the John Bird Society will undoubtedly be working on

1827
02:08:59,239 --> 02:09:03,159
more than that many specific projects which will be laid

1828
02:09:03,199 --> 02:09:06,399
out in its bulletins before another one hundred and eighty

1829
02:09:06,439 --> 02:09:09,520
months will have rolled around, and all of them will

1830
02:09:09,520 --> 02:09:12,079
fit into All of these projects will fit into the

1831
02:09:12,159 --> 02:09:16,720
general pattern indicated by the five major objectives listed above.

1832
02:09:17,279 --> 02:09:21,560
So let's really wind up this marathon monologue with one

1833
02:09:21,840 --> 02:09:26,039
final thought. None of us can guarantee anything about what

1834
02:09:26,079 --> 02:09:29,279
the future will bring. Your speaker knows what a job

1835
02:09:29,319 --> 02:09:32,119
we have before us to rid our country of the

1836
02:09:32,159 --> 02:09:36,000
scourge of communism within the next few years, and then

1837
02:09:36,039 --> 02:09:39,640
to go ahead on our constructive program so well that

1838
02:09:39,840 --> 02:09:43,319
fifteen years from now we shall already be entering an

1839
02:09:43,319 --> 02:09:46,840
era of far less government, of a much sounder sense

1840
02:09:46,840 --> 02:09:50,520
of responsibility, and, with God's help, of a better world.

1841
02:09:51,119 --> 02:09:54,560
But I sincerely believe that it can be done, and

1842
02:09:54,680 --> 02:09:57,239
thus much I know if every man and woman in

1843
02:09:57,279 --> 02:10:00,439
