"Useful Idiots," A Documentary on BBC Radio
— Ace

Really good. Part 1 about Stalin (and they take the bark off the NYT and Walter Duranty), Part 2 about useful idiots about the Iranian Revolution and other horrors.

This is hard hitting stuff -- the BBC is state owned and yet they produce this.

Compare to the American media -- not paid by the government, but owned even harder.

BTW, contains the quote "something so stupid only an intellectual could believe it."

(Oh, this is how tough this is on leftist apologist intellectuals: FoxNews wouldn't air this because it seems too bating and would get them too much criticism. For example, here's a lurid fact the documentary notes: Walter Duranty wrote the "poetry" for Allistair Crowley's psycho-sexual Satanic rituals and often was bound in chains and had crosses carved in his chest. Another historian notes, flatly, the Soviet archives say he was being blackmailed over "sexual misdemeanors" of unknown types.

It's really like, Whoa. This dude is hard-core!

Oh, and he lays Stalin's victims pretty much at the useful idiots' feet and refuses to make excuses for them.)

Thanks to Arthur.

Intellectuals are not INTELLIGENT.      They THINK they are intelligent.

2 guy says that. A historian defines a useful idiot as someone who doesn't know he's an idiot; he thinks he's highly intelligent, but he's an idiot.

3 30 years ago I had a Benz with a Blaupunkt radio that had AM/FM/CB reciever/Shortwave.

Even back then I could listen to the BBC on shortwave to get their take on things.

22 I've bee rereading Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich lately. The parallels between Hitler and A-jad are really striking in two respects. First is the clarity with which Hitler telegraphed his intentions from his earliest days. He published his entire plan in Mein Kampf and anyone who paid any attention at all would have recognized that his later moves were directed unswervingly toward realizing that plan. The second parallel is in the zeal of the Western powers to delude themselves by believing that Hitler was really a reasonable chap with a few reasonable territorial demands. Watching the west act on the assumption that A-jad can be influenced by threats and blandishments eerily echoes the thinking of Chamberlain and the French in 1937-38. The age of useful idiots isn't over, sad to say. And in the end, the cost is going to be catastrophic.

23 In the 1980s there was a guy where I worked briefly who I thought was a fucking quack. There was a belief among some jerks that people from certain cultures did not feel pain the same way we did and they were not given pain medication the way we would have been given pain meds. Years later I find out that this ahole was one of Stalin's assassins and committed espionage while living in the USA. He beat the spying rap but they got him on perjury. He received a slap on the hand and a tongue bath by the left and lived the remainder of his life comfortably in San Francisco. The left makes me sick.

24 It is instructive, I think, that the American media nowadays has no interest in the Cold War - and it isn't because it is too long ago, NAZIs are the stock villains in a large part of our fiction after all.

But, as a better comparison, consider the cold war versus segregation.

If one was anti-anti-segregation you are a no good racist.
If one was anti-anti-communist, you are a hero.

Also, the media is keenly interest in scouring people's background for any sign they may have supported racism/segregation, but communism? That they find boring.

Oh look, a troll!

I hadn't noticed anyone saying that it should be illegal for the muzzies to build a mosque at Ground Zero.  CAre to show the class where you read that?

You do understand that there is a difference between something that is illegal, and something that is monumentally vile, disrespectful, insulting, inflammatory and provocative?

Or maybe you don't because you are intellectually flaccid.

Walter:

1) Were the words "useful idiot" like a dog whistle to you?  I expect this is the first time you've felt a need to post about your love for FREEDOM OF RELIGION, BABY!!!

2) I agree they have the right to build it there.  I also believe they shouldn't build it there.  I think that probably sums up how most non-"intellectual" non-useful idiots here feel.

(An aside...when my home church in the Chicago suburbs decided to move and build a new church, we spent over 5 years trying to work on getting some choice pieces of land re-zoned to build a massive 17 acre complex and couldn't.  It was clear the city didn't want this valuable commercial land with it's potential tax haul to be built out by a church, which would not be bringing in any sales taxes.  Where was Obama for our church?  Where were the FREEDOM OF RELIGION liberal protesters?)

From the constant bed-wetting to the chronic masturbation that continues to this day, it only reaffirms my support for abortion on demand. If he would just attempt to find a job, I'd be somewhat happy, but he never leaves his "mancave", or basement as I call it. I wish I were dead.

39 >>> I agree they have the right to build it there. I also believe they shouldn't build it there. I can make a case against the first, actually... bureaucrats reject stuff over trivia. This is being given the all-green. Also the site could be taken by eminent domain for another purpose. I do not believe that "moderate Muslims" choose to buiid a "mosque of bridge building" next to the site of the graves of 3000 people killed by muslims with 70% of the country and 60% of the city affected by the last batch of bridge-building muslims opposed.

Well, it's nice to know what the lefty story line for the mosque will be.

Here's some information for you Walter: Muslims aren't getting pogromed in America; Muslims are allowed to build mosques -- they have been requested to build it someplace else.  Where have their constitutional rights been trampled on then, genius?

So, your arguements are built, once again, on a swamp; aka., you are stupid and a liar...and need to go get your shinebox (get one for M-100 while you're at it, show him how to use it too).

84 Walter Duranty lives, yet still.

The way the New York Times and the Soviets conspired to effect a blackout on the Ukranian Holocaust, kind of reminds me of how the MFM today conspires to hide the reality of black on white crime in America.

Just a few days ago, a black man shot to death 8 of his white colleagues in an obvious fit of race-hate, yet the media kicked in to overdrive to run the story as an example of a black driven mad by white wickedness. 

Obviously, the MFM was in a panic that White America would see this act of savagery in context of the revelations of Jeremiah Wright and Black Rage toward White America. Not to mention that some whites would make a connection between these murders and the year-long campaign undertaken by the MFM and the Democrat Party to gain political capital by slandering the Tea Party, and by extension, traditional White America as wicked and regressive and worthy of destruction.  So the MFM trumpeted the black man's obviously false claims of anti-black discrimination to the point that all of the articles on the murders dwelt more on the murderer's own justification than on the horror of the crime itself- forget the identity of the slain or the pain of their families at their loss.

Still, the MFM was nervous that it had not completely corrupted the story and harnessed it to its narrative- too many whites could see through the fraudulence of the MFM's reportage and could still judge for themselves the truth of the matter.

So, soon we began hearing reports of a white man stabbing to death random black men. And then, when he was nabbed, it was reported that he was attempting to flee to his native Israel-

Look!   A Jew!

And then, only after it was allowed to set in that the murderer was a white Neocon, was it finally reported that the stabber was an Arab.

See! We've forgotten all about those murdered white people and oh,  BTW those Likkudniks are really the problem with the Middle East.

See how that works?

86 Here's the statement Debra Burlingame issued on Toonces support of the Mosque at ground zero...from NRO:

Barack Obama has abandoned America at the place where AmericaÂ’s heart was broken nine years ago, and where her true values were on display for all to see. Since that dark day, Americans have been asked to bear the burden of defending those values, again and again and again. Now this president declares that the victims of  9/11 and their families must bear another burden. We must stand silent at the last place in America where 9/11 is still remembered with reverence or risk being called religious bigots. 

Muslims have worshipped in New York without incident both before and after the attacks of 9/11. This controversy is not about religious freedom. 9/11 was more than a “deeply traumatic event,” it was an act of war. Building a 15-story mosque at Ground Zero is a deliberately provocative act that will precipitate more bloodshed in the name of Allah. Those who continue to target and kill American civilians and U.S. troops will see it as a symbol of their historic progress at the site of their most bloody victory. Demolishing a building that was damaged by wreckage from one of the hijacked planes in order to build a mosque and Islamic Center will further energize those who regard it as a ratification of their violent and divinely ordered mission: the spread of shariah law and its subjugation of all free people, including secular Muslims who come to this country fleeing that medieval ideology, which destroys lives and crushes the human spirit.  

We are stunned by the presidentÂ’s willingness to disregard what Americans should be proud of: our enduring generosity to others on 9/11 — a day when human decency triumphed over human depravity. On that day, when 3,000 of our fellow human beings were killed in a barbaric act of raw religious intolerance unlike this country had ever seen, Americans did not turn outward with hatred or violence, we turned to each other, armed with nothing more than American flags and countless acts of kindness. In a breathtakingly inappropriate setting, the president has chosen to declare our memories of 9/11 obsolete and the sanctity of Ground Zero finished. No one who has lived this history and felt the sting of our countryÂ’s loss that day can truly believe that putting our families through more wrenching heartache can be an act of peace.   

We will honor the memory of our loved ones. We will protect our children, whose lives will never be the same. We will not stand silent.

87 So, soon we began hearing reports of a white man stabbing to death random black men. And then, when he was nabbed, it was reported that he was attempting to flee to his native Israel

Many places didn't update the story past that he's "Israeli", with predictably vile comments about "Joooos" following.  PuffHo (natch), for one.

In honor of the President of the United States, the Cordoba mosque has been renamed by the unwashed proletariat, the Hussein Obama Mosque, the first Muslim to ever occupy the highest office in America.  Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar!

92 Ace used the term yesterday, solipsist, and that is what these folks are. But here is the key, whether they are jihadis, communists, America-hating "progressives," or any other sort of overt/covert totalitarian: they are above all nihilists, because they are utopians. Before Utopia can be achieved, all the obstacles must be swept away, using whatever method, large or small, psychological or material. Utopia -- the caliphate, the classless society -- never comes, of course, because Utopia cannot remove human nature. So, the destruction and chaos continues and intensifies, chasing the ever-receding goal, in an attempt to bring about the Nothing necessary for the Everything. Because human nature is the only true obstacle, the war is against other human beings, who must be destroyed and enslaved and terrified into submission. If only enough folks are removed as obstacles, the glorious Dream will prevail. The Vision or the Dream of Utopia is the cover for the hatred and solipsistic amorality of these nihilists. "I am in favor of [fill in the blank] which makes me morally and intellectually superior, which in turn gives me license to kick down the barn." And wow!! Kicking down the barn sure is fun!! The mentality is akin to the criminal mentality, except criminals are probably more honest about their selfish motives. Folks who have not lived in the Upper West Side, or Cambridge, or Ann Arbor, or Berkeley, cannot understand the sociopathic mentality of Leftists. Like other sociopaths, they can be and are charming, intelligent, clever and in some ways appealing. But they are in it for the sheer pleasure of creating chaos, destruction and venting hatred. This is Obama and his regime. They do not even know it themselves, they are so shallow and narrow-mined, as a result of their narcissism. The chaos, the pulling-down, the hatred, is the only thing within their power to "create," and create it they do, and will.

93 From Fox top headline:

Obama strongly backs controversial plans to build a mosque near the site of the former World Trade Center, but lawmakers voice concern that while within the law, the project's location will come off as 'insensitive' to those affected by the Sept. 11 attacks.

It doesn't get any clearer than that folks. He IS the Muslim Kwisatz Shiterach.

Interesting documentary...especially coming from the BBC. I happened to mention in Monty's last book thread that I was reading Malcom Muggeridge's Winter in Moscow.

The useful idiots for Stalin's Russia remind me of the Obama-bots today.

98 Can't spin his way out of this one, even with all the king's horses and all the king's men in the MSM. This has got to turn out to be a huge disaster for Obama, to the point that he has to reverse course, like with the KSM trial or closing Gitmo. Why is he so stupidly picking this unwinnable fight? I haven't seen any polls yet, but if less than 75% of people on the street disagree with Obama, I'll be shocked.

101 Under the Walter/Obama standard, we couldn't say "no way" if the mosque had a blinking neon sign that said "we love the 9/11 attacks" (and you know that in some mosques it is praised.  heck, it doesn't have to be a mosque, look at Wright's church where Obama was raised).

#101 - Too often, people confuse intellect with sanity and rationality; i.e., in admiring what they perceive to be a person's high intellect, evidenced by the thoughtful and charming manner in which said intellectuals  articulate their opinions, all of the smoke and mirrors prevents dolts from realizing that said intellectual is, in fact, a psuedo intellectual who is nuttier than a fruitcake. In other words, sanity and intelligence aren't necessarily compatible.

In fact, an eccentric psychiatrist on our Board Of Directors has often remarked that, due to the complexities of the ways with which they think, intelligent people are much more prone to mental illness than people of average or below average intelligence are. In view of what weve read here on this website, though, we're reassessing our position on that issue. We're conducting case studies here of loonies here who are retarded, too.

106 Another teachable moment for our dear leader ...

Obama again cocks his head back and sneers at America.  Until America submits to his Rev. Wright beliefs, we will be the object of his scorn, like bad children that need to be brought down several notches.  He won't be satisfied till America is in submission.

Obama as president doesn't need to come out and promote this mosque ... it might instead be appropriate for him to express dismay at the builders disregard for American sensibilities.  Instead he expresses juvenile enthusiasm at another chance to scold 75% of America, and use his office to promote submission.

This is beyond just a tin ear, he seems to be at war with 75% of the country, and making a full force frontal attack for the far left. 

We see more Democrats coming out against the president just in time for the next election.  This seems like a flanking maneuver, where they pretend to get behind the majority that are against this, and pretend to be on our side.  But if they get reelected with this ruse, we will find ourselves surrounded by liberals in control, and we'll be entrapped.
