Let’s start with some basics. The modern American left was created with the help of the Soviet Union. Through an active propaganda and spy network, the Soviets were able to spread their message throughout the American left. Then came along the Vietnam War, which allowed the neo-communist message to take hold in the Democratic Party, as it became a host for the anti-war movement.
What is the neo-communist message? In short, capitalism is bad, America is an evil, imperialist country, that exploits the third world through neo-colonialism and racism.
Does any of this sound familiar? Do any of these ring any bells? Clinton’s famous “I loathe the military” statement, Senator Durban’s comparison of our troop’s actions in Iraq to those of communist atrocities in the Siberian gulags, Senator Kerry’s remarks that our troops “terrorize” woman and children in the middle of the night, Obama’s pastor who blames America for everything from racism to aids….
The Soviets were successful in creating a counter-culture ideology, which at its core imparts an inherent hatred of country, in the hearts of America’s left.
All of this brings us to Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner, who made comments today, that could only be made by someone who, at their core, hates their country. No patriotic American would agree with our enemies in communist China, that the dollar needs to be replaced as the currency of international trade.
Yet, here we have Geithner saying that very thing today:
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner sent the dollar tumbling with comments about China’s ideas for overhauling the global monetary system, only to drive it back up by affirming that it should remain the world’s reserve currency.
Geithner was asked at a Council on Foreign Relations event in New York about People’s Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan’s call for a new international reserve currency. He said while he had not read Zhou’s proposal, he understood it as a plan “designed to increase the use of the IMF’s special drawing rights. And we’re actually quite open to that.”
The dollar slid as much as 1.3 percent against the euro within 10 minutes of news accounts of Geithner’s remarks. It recouped much of the loss about 15 minutes later, when Geithner then predicted no change in the U.S. currency’s role. The dollar was down 0.9 percent at $1.3591 per euro as of 3:39 p.m. in New York. Link
Who really wants this nation, as it stands, to fail?
