    Written in 1958, some of the “current strategy goals which the Communists and their fellow travelers are seeking to achieve” seem dated and read like a history book from the past. But then one comes to item number 17:
    Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

    Things take a step closer to home by encouraging the use of “student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

    Even more terrifying, the list progresses from student riots to the cancel culture and statue bashing we are also currently experiencing. “Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression,” item number 22 commands, while number 31 calls for Communists to “belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history….” The docuмent also suggests discrediting both the Constitution and Founding Fathers. Of the latter it says, “[p]resent them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the ‘common man.’”

    The list is extensive and many of the items listed as eventual goals are now accepted parts of our culture. There is one more, though, that deserves a closer look:
    Create the impression that violence and ιnѕυrrєcтισn are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ‘united force’ to solve economic, political or social problems.

    Since the death of George Floyd, protests and violence have become commonplace. The large gatherings banned by our governments during the COVID-19 pandemic suddenly became necessary for fighting racism. Indeed, systemic racism is increasingly labeled as a “public health crisis” which Black Lives Matter must wage war against. Furthermore, complete unity is demanded from the public. Those who refuse to go along – or fail to say anything at all – are immediately ostracized.

  • Famous episode of Abp. Sheen's 1950's program where he compares communists to the vultures feeding off the dead bodies of civilizations.
    He also makes his often repeated comment that "communism will never be destroyed, only converted," and says Russia will be responsible for re-Christianizing the world.


    St. Jude, who, disregarding the threats of the impious, courageously preached the doctrine of Christ,
    pray for us.

  • Fulton Sheen ought to know how communist are, he himself was a silent communist and supported the New Order of Vatican II.
