THE “LIBERAL” AMERICAN MEDIA HAS BEEN UNMASKED
George McGovern with Fidel Castro in Cuba |
©ABIP 2020
by Agustin Blazquez with the collaboration of Jaums Sutton
It baffles me how anyone can sit and watch newscasts about Coronavirus on CNN, MSNBC or the former big three TV networks of the past.
Not long after I came to the U.S., simply by watching NBC, ABC and CBS, I realized their bias during the Vietnam War.
Their reporting contributed to the Communist takeover of South Vietnam, and the death of 58,220 American soldiers and 1 million after Communism in Vietnam and 2 million in Cambodia.
They have a lot of blood in their hands.
While U.S. so-called “liberal” media was silent for years during Hitler's National Socialism in Germany in relation to Jews, after WW2 they didn't have any other alternative once others had exposed those crimes in the Nuremberg Trials.
However, the media subsequently failed to report 20 million killed in the Soviet Union since 1917 or 65 million in China's Mao Zedong since 1949. As well as the result of Communism taking hold around the world. (See:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oocpmXYmv8k&t=6s)
Herbert Matthews, in The New York times in February of 1957 promoted the false image of Castro as a hero in the mountains of Cuba and supported him after his guerrilla takeover of Cuba imposing a criminal communist regime that killed many.
Yet Castro caused extraordinary pain and suffering, as he completely ruined the economy and prosperity of a capitalist island.
I cannot forget the glowing and romantic reports on NBC, ABC, CBS and PBS by Dan Rather, Barbara Walters, Diane Sawyer, Peter Jennings, Bryant Gumbel, and others with interviews of Fidel Castro and his regime officials.
Sympathy went to them, instead of Cuban victims. (See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC_sodz50ws&t=2s)
Most media reports made Cuban exiles in the U.S. vomit or get ulcers. Yet when Cuban exiles criticized those propaganda pieces by writing and calling the networks or newspapers, it was to no avail. (See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODJQA8URo2o)
Once Richard Nixon was elected, the liberal media went into a frenzy against him. The anti-Communist Nixon was not the candidate the media wanted America to elect...so they agitated relentlessly against the will of the American people. Finally they got lucky with Watergate!
Early on in the affair, it had been reported that the reason for the break-in of the Democrat Party Office at the Watergate complex was to try to get proof that the Cuban Government (Fidel Castro) was giving money to George McGovern's presidential campaign, something that Cuban refugees knew.
However, McGovern was the favorite of the U.S. liberal media to defeat Nixon in 1972. So they didn't mind that he was known to be a friend of criminal dictator Fidel Castro.
There are photos and videos of them walking on Cuban beaches. McGovern's visit there in 1975 was reported in Rolling Stone (see: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/cuba-que-linda-es-cuba-a-journal-of-the-mcgovern-visit-167857/).
Don't be naive. Interfering in U.S. elections is nothing new. Cuban-Americans know that Communist regimes always interfere in the internal affairs of capitalist countries.
That's why Cuban exiles were involved in the break-in. Many have forgotten this detail about the under-the-table money to the Democrat candidate for president favored by the liberal media, but I didn't.
Nixon's attempted coverup of the Watergate scandal was not the first in history. Before and after Nixon other presidents have done similar things, including his immediate predecessor, Lyndon Baines Johnson, who bugged Rev. Martin Luther King.
Being anti-communists is a major reason why the liberal media hates Cuban exiles -- as well as other exiles from communist countries.
The media don't like it when refugees from Communism reveal first-hand experiences with Communist terror or oppression.
Which means the media are themselves practitioners of coverups, as well as collaborators in coverups--of crimes against humanity up to and including mass-murder and genocide.
Which means the media are themselves practitioners of coverups, as well as collaborators in coverups--of crimes against humanity up to and including mass-murder and genocide.
The break-in at the Watergate Hotel helped to generate increased hatred and disdain from the U.S. media for Cuban American exiles, which finally culminated in the Elian Gonzalez affair of 1999-2000.
Then the U.S. liberal media removed their masks, openly insulting Cuban exiles with epithets like, “Miami Mafia,” “fanatics,” “vociferous,” “right wing,” “shameful,” “reactionaries,” “Republicans,” etc. (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-xdDGEEGaY&t=203s).
It reached the point where Cuban exiles could not express their political opinions in public places without being insulted by Americans...just like the way people who support Trump are treated with disrespect today by CNN, MSNBC, UNIVISION, TELEMUNDO, The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald in Miami.
Incredibly by 2020, academia had been almost totally taken over by Marxist professors in the U.S. and most Western countries.
What a contradiction!
The new generations of millenials, students of Marxist professors, have been hired by media, academia, politicians and in other fields.
They are beginning to take charge now, and they love to censor information and limit speech.
They are in clash with aging baby boomers who still feel a certain fondness for the First Amendment.
Most boomers are used to open discussion, and were not fans of the atmosphere of PC and unbending dogmas resulting from a pure Marxist education.
They are still for the free flow of ideas and open discussion. But none of that is allowed by Marxist dogma.
Thus, the new generation of news media reporting is taking the tenor today of mass indoctrination with the goal of mass obedience appealing to emotion, fabrication of fake news to scare the audience (being used now by CNN, MSNBC the big three and PBS which should not be funded by taxpayers).
In other words, they are treating ordinary Americans the way they have treated Cuban-Americans for generations.
Marxism was the inspiration for Hitler's National Socialism, Russian Socialism and Communism, all ending up in totalitarian forms of government with a mighty power elite and the workers who cannot have what the elite have.
But property and the means of production are not actually held in common. They are owned and controlled by an elite. This is known as the “have and have-not paradise”. That's always the end result of such revolutions.
The news media and the Marxists managed to get an Alinskyite community organizer, President Barack Obama, into the White House, and so begin the still unexplained “Fundamental Transformation” of the United States, as he so famously declared (see:
But he suffered a big defeat in 2016, when his anointed follower, fellow-Alinskyite Hillary Clinton, lost the election to Donald Trump (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4wCaEuvT_o&t=58s).
Even before Donald Trump became President, the liberal media declared the war against him and his family. They unleashed all the power they have in their campaign to destroy his presidency, and the country.
In this, the U.S. media is acting in accordance with the Communist motto, “The end justifies the means.”
Just like in China, North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Venezuela and other communist hellholes. The same manipulations, deceptions, misinformation and propaganda as in all of those countries.
Now with the emergence of China's Coronavirus, they see a golden opportunity to ruin his economy and to put a corrupt and apparently senile puppet candidate in the Presidency... via massive vote fraud through mailed ballots, no voter ID, people voting multiple times, illegal and dead-people votes and new schemes which concocted by Pelosi-Schumer and other House and Senate Democrats—or should I call them “Demonrats?”
Sadly, I was right some decades ago when I declared that the U.S. liberal media--by using Communist techniques--had become enemies of Liberty and the American people (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDCwVM3fFd8&t=282s).

MARIEL EXODUS, 40TH ANNIVERSARY
U.S. Department of Homeland Security photo of 1980 Mariel Boatlift by Robert L. Scheina |
© ABIP 2020
“I had never faced death before nor seen it on other people’s faces. I’ll never forget those children. Or the look in their mothers’ faces,” said Eduardo Serrera in Helga Silva’s book The Children of Mariel.
While Cubans did not leave their country before 1959, once Cuba became Castro’s communist paradise, history is riddled with massive and daring escapes. There are enough thrilling and dramatic stories to fill entire libraries and entire graveyards. But these escapes happened in all countries that fall to Communism as life becomes unbearable.
Eduardo Serrera recalls the traumatizing event he experienced after leaving the port of Mariel, Cuba in 1980. He was crammed aboard a 24-foot shrimp boat along with 36 men, women and children. He was leaving with his mother, but was forced to travel separately by Castro’s guards. He lost track of her.
“By the third day water started coming into the boat. We used everything at hand – buckets, containers – to bail out.” Fortunately, around noon the U.S. Coast Guard spotted the boat. Serrera recalls, “The sailors had to make a human chain to physically lift us from our sinking boat.”
Aboard the cutter on their way to the U.S., they encountered other Cubans in distress in the Florida Straits. But not everybody could be saved because the waves prevented the Coast Guard cutter from getting close enough to rescue them. A boat was drifting away and falling apart and Serrera cannot forget the screams for help.
“It was awful.” When the women aboard realized that they could not be rescued, they “picked up their children and threw them over the railings over to our side. Eight or nine children were flung in the air. I caught one, a baby – about nine months old – so cold his skin was blue. And his eyes were open wide in terror.
“The women on the boat looked so desperate when their boat began to drift away. They wailed in pain. I could hear their voices trail off in the darkness begging us to look after their children.”
According to Helga Silva’s book, of the more than 125,000 refugees who came to the U.S. during the 1980 Mariel boatlift, there were 13,000 to 18,000 minors.
But the U.S. “liberal” media (with a few exceptions) was silent to these tragedies and at every opportunity the Cuban exiles were derided and vilified for being anti-communists. Their experiences with that totalitarian system were left out of the mainstream media and Americans were kept ignorant of this example of the evil of Marxist philosophy.
Today with the experience of the coronavirus and the secrecy of China's Communist Party, I hope that many wake up and think very seriously about the future of America and for whom they must vote. If we lose America, we don't have any place to escape to.

China, the World Health Organization, and Communism
© 2020 ABIP
by Agustin Blazquez with the collaboration of Jaums Sutton
The secrecy and deception surrounding the spread of the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic that led to multiple failures by the World Health Organization is not the fault of China alone.
Rather, it's the end result of a deceptive philosophy based in falsehoods and propaganda to keep its people and the rest of the world out of the loop.
If the cruel reality were ever known, there would not be so many “useful idiots” falling for it.
If the cruel reality were ever known, there would not be so many “useful idiots” falling for it.
The behavior of China's silence related to the Coronavirus is a common, and perfectly normal, procedure to follow in totalitarian communist regimes.
Everything bad that happens inside communist countries is a State Secret.
Everything bad that happens inside communist countries is a State Secret.
The survival and proliferation of the system requires it.
Fifteen years ago, I had in my home four legal immigrants from my former country. One of them was their 6 year old girl.
After a few weeks she said something very surprising at the dinner table after she already have been exposed to American television news. Her remarkable comment was, “I don't like this country because bad things are happening here all the time. In Cuba nothing happens!”
Her clever observation was based in the fact that in communist Cuba they don't report crimes, accidents or anything negative that happens within the island.
All the bad news comes from capitalist countries.
In the 1980s I had a visitor from Cuba, from a relatively well-educated family in Havana.
I took him to the Air & Space Museum. To my surprise, while observing the Lunar Landing Module, he exclaimed that he didn't know that Americans had landed on the Moon in 1969!
He didn't know about the Sky Lab or the Apollo-Soyuz rendezvous in space, either.
I rest my case.
China has just performed according to communist rules during this worldwide Coronavirus pandemic.
So wake up Americans, don't be surprised!
What happened is just another end result of Communism.
How many more are going to die as a result of the usual internal secrecy under Communist rule?
In relation to the WHO (World Health Organization) cooperation with China in this ruse, I have another anecdote to share...
In 1967, after I arrived in the U.S., an acquaintance recommended that I apply to work at WHO headquarters in Washington, DC, also known as the Pan-American Health Organization.
I did--and was surprised by some of the people I met there.
When they discovered that I was from Cuba they were told me how much they admired Castro's revolution.
They also congratulated me on what good health care they have in Cuba, and expressed personal admiration that it was free for everybody.
Well, I had myself lived and suffered from the lack of medicines in Cuba.
I knew personally how Cubans wrote to relatives in the U.S. begging for medicine, and the reality that Castro's regime confiscated half of those medical shipments.
I had witnessed a young lady who died only because the communist regime took her U.S.-sent medicines.
I saw and experienced the real cruelty of a communist totalitarian system.
My brief work with WHO was therefore a disappointing experience.
If I could see it years ago, their attitude towards Communism obviously wasn't a secret. The sympathy of WHO bureaucracts toward communist regimes has been clear for years.
Therefore, I am not surprised by their recent collaboration with China. Unfortunately, the WHO is now part of the Chinese Communist life-support system.
Sadly, U.S. taxpayer dollars are given to that institution, without the requirement that it be freed from Communist influence.
The result of American negligence in this regard has been predictably tragic.

THE LONG-TERM CHINESE PANDEMIC
by Agustin Blazquez with the collaboration of Jaums Sutton
According to the Black Book of Communism, “an estimated 65 million Chinese died as a result of Mao Zedong's repeated attemps to create a new 'Socialist' China” during his Cultural Revolution from 1966 until 1976.
According to Wikipedia, President Richard Nixon's 1972 visit to the People's Republic of China “was an important strategic and diplomatic overture that marked the culmination of the Nixon administration's resumption of harmonious relations between the United States and mainland China after years of diplomatic isolation.”
I understood why Nixon opened relations with China.
But coming from a Communist country I know the way communist regimes operate and that they cannot be trusted. I thought this was a grave mistake that would bring terrible consequences to the U.S. in the future.
We now have a doozy.
A characteristic of the communist totalitarian regimes is that everything that occurrs inside their borders is initally held as a well-guarded State Secret.
The Coronavirus is a precise example.
Their unforgiveable silence provoked the recent worldwide pandemic. And they still don't accept responsibility for it. Probably they never will for as long as they remain a totalitarian communist regime.
What bothers me the most after the unfortunate Nixon decision is the ignorance in the U.S. business community to even entertain the possibility that those communist fanatic cult members would realize the advantages of the free market and eventually adopt a real open free enterprise system.
They never did and never will because of their rigid ideology and power hunger.
They pretended to transform for international comsumption. But continued with their inflexibility to real change, because their absolute control is required to maintain their absolute power.
The ones who benefited the most from the elite pretending to be capitalistic were the old Chinese ruling communist elite. It worked for them while the U.S. turned a blind eye and they pretended to be capitalistic, in cahoots with unscrupulous foreign businessmen interested only in profits rather than freedom for the oppressed Chinese people.
With working conditions and salaries of the workers there so much lower than workers in the U.S.,the Chinese communists lure foreign businessmen.
It was cheaper to produce in China than in America or other countries. That's why so much of our production moved there. And we stupidly became dependent on Communist China!
The communists never renounced being our enemies. They spied, copied and stole the West's inventions and innovations, also to our blind eyes.
Now, sadly, we are paying the price.

Steve Sailer: How to Stop the Coronavirus Epidemic
In TAKIMAG Steve Sailer calls upon the Trump Administration to replace a containment strategy with a victory strategy:
Physicist and evolutionary theorist Gregory Cochran changed his mind on this subject in a conversation with me on Monday. Cochran had long been advocating flattening the curve as the proper target, but he realized:Read the whole thing at: https://www.takimag.com/article/crushing-the-coronavirus-curve/
But this is the wrong idea. You have to get R0 down close to 1.0 (from around 3.0) in order to really slow the growth—ordinary influenza has an R0 of around 1.3 and it grows way too rapidly.
Don’t aim at getting close to 1.0: aim at getting below. Basically, the region of parameter space that would correspond to “flattening the curve” is tiny, and 90% of the way to a clear win.
In other words, the effort it takes to flatten the curve is almost as great as it takes to win outright.
No longer should the goal be a well-played defeat. As Cochran sums up by quoting Douglas MacArthur:
There is no substitute for victory.
This would require massive sacrifice, although perhaps not quite on the scale of the Chinese lockdown because we have more square feet in our homes, more private cars, and less reliance on public transportation. But, at least there’s now a worthy goal for what all the pain would be for: victory.
The new goal is not to lose more slowly to the virus, but to conquer it.
Which of the 2020 candidates will embrace winning?

James Kurth's THE AMERICAN WAY OF EMPIRE: How America Won a World--But Lost Her Way
Full disclosure: My company published this book last December. After fruitlessly waiting months for reviews in other media, I'm publishing one here myself, because I think it is an important study which deserves serious public discussion and debate as a worthy successor to Samuel Huntington's 1996 "The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order."

Trump Administration Can't Ignore Impeachment Frame Job
Edmund Burke declared: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” After getting away with a fraudulent impeachment attempt, no wonder Democrats thought they could also rig the Iowa caucuses and tear up the State of the Union address...

Will We Ever See Jim Lehrer's Unfinished German-American Novel?
A few years ago, at a German Embassy reception, Jim Lehrer told me he was writing a book about the German-American experience, inspired by his own family history. I hope his manuscript might be published posthumously, since it sounded fascinating...and relevant to current debates over immigration and American identity.

AMERICA'S LAST STAND
©2020 ABIP
It's a fact that President Trump is not a politician. But that is precisely why he was selected by the American people to be their President. It's refreshing to see that he talks to the forgotten Americans without political subterfuges.
Decades of career politician elites are focused on re-election rather than the good of the country. They rapidly become millionaires, by way of books and speaking gigs if not under the table from donors, lobbyists and corporations. Add with support from their parties they become pawns. The interests of their constituents take a distant back seat in their limousines.
Americans have been forgotten while politically divided into groups to be used by promising what these career politicians fail to deliver. Look what is happening in cities and to infrastructure. Chicago for example.
President Trump, who isn't tied to special interests, in spite of the open resistance and cries for impeachment even before he became President, has not forgotten to deliver his promises to the voters, resulting in unprecedented economic success. He has improved opportunities and living conditions of the workers.
This was promptly accomplished by eliminating thousands of Obama's regulations which made the government bureaucracy flourish while preventing small business to prosper. These policies had driven to destitution thousands of Americans who became welfare recipients.
The Founding Fathers were farmers and people of honor who didn't imagine that centuries later the Presidents, Representatives and Senators could become a corrupt government elite. Most became creatures of a huge, collective, political swamp. That's why President Trump was elected by the voters tired of the status quo.
There are some exceptions, but not enough to prevent the political parties from becoming negative to the original concept of America: “We the People.” Not “We the politicians” and especially not “ We the socialist elite”.
I began to notice this pernicious deviation from the Father's concepts a few years after I immigrated to the U.S. I noticed the Democrat Party was leading America astray. The foreign ideology they were adopting was one that creates a powerful political elite that will dominate everything. I noticed that the Republican Party was letting it develop not doing their duty on behalf of the American people. I was disappointed, to say the least.
I noticed the cooperation and eventual collaboration much of the U.S (so-called) “liberal” media and their silence about the pervasive corruption. I sadly realized that politicians, media and academia were becoming enemies of America and the enemies of freedom, as in my former country.
Since 2009, the situation became worse as the process was accelerated by Obama. The Republican Party I hoped could correct the course, but sadly, did not. I blame the two parties, but one of them is worse by pushing a doomed ideology foreign to freedom, democracy and our Constitution.
At the end of 2016 the country was left divided and before Donald Trump became President a political war was declared by the Democrats and the “liberal” media against him. Our freedoms were hanging in the wind. The children had been indoctrinated to reject Capitalism and embrace Socialism.
Because of the Marxist “political correctness”--imposed a few decades ago—we cannot talk freely to each other and the resulting intolerance divides families and friends. We were insulted by screams of “racist,” “homophobic,” “misogyny,” “Islamophobic,” and other epithets.
The tenor of the violence of Fascist-technique front groups like Antifa, Black Lives Matter, violent students groups on campuses censoring speakers and Facebook listing hundreds of anatomically impossible genders makes it utterly clear: The imposition of Socialism in America will be ugly.
Forget the Scandinavian socialist model that doesn't exist anymore due to failure.
After three years of a President truly fighting back against that anti-human abomination he is hated and despised by the Democrat Party and that “liberal” media and academia. They do not want their swamp to be cleaned. They fear that the nightmarish descent into Socialism might be stopped. That's why their sham-based hatred and the insistence on an impeachment.
After this enormous waste of time and taxpayer money, the pathetic Nancy “Pelousy” lowers the United States House of Representatives with her unabashed, childish displays.
President Trump is not a politician and I am glad. He is the only one who has kept his promises as he moves our country away from Socialism while under constant pressure to stop him. That's enough for people who know first-hand what it is to be victimized by the left's totalitarian ideology.
Americans do not have experience with real totalitarianism in their own skin. They reject the evidence of what it is like living under the boot of a government. They refuse to consider the horrors of living with no freedom and doing what the government dictates or else. They ignore what it is to lose your property and your family members. Life in forced labor and concentration camps. Lack of medicine, health care and millions death. Those are the actual results of Socialism and Communism.
Do not listen to Marxists' promises and the siren calls of those body snatchers. They lie to get people hooked and to maintain their power. They make their promises sound and feel good but the promises are empty. Look at Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Vietnam, etc. It is a trap. When you fall in that hellhole it is almost impossible to escape. Their creed is “The end justifies the means.”
Unfortunately, many members of the Democrat Party belong to The Democratic Socialists of America, founded and financed by the former communist Russia and is active today. It's not in the best interest of America.
The Founding Fathers must be turning in their graves with what is going on in their beloved America and mine.

President Trump is a Whistleblower -- and the So-Called "Whistleblower" is a Spy
As the transcript of his phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky shows, President Trump was attempting to expose alleged wrongdoing by former Vice President Biden, his son, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others. This means President Trump is a whistleblower --and the so-called "Whistleblower" acted as a spy.
