Eisenhower Promised To Drain The Swamp – Let’s Hope History Doesn’t Repeat

President Dwight D. Eisenhower once gave a monumental speech about the military industrial complex that controlled every facet of American life. The speech was stirring, but only for a moment: one day of good words doesn’t make up for 8 years of heinous actions. Eisenhower was elected in 1952, promising “peace with honor” in Korea, and he won in a landslide. He had a great slogan to run on:
“Let’s Clean Up the Mess in Washington.”
And then he went about making even more of a mess. On July 26, 1953, he and his administration negotiated the truce/cease fire with North Korea and still managed to leave 400 U.S. soldiers in Chinese prison camps. By the time Eisenhower was “done” with the U.S. and left office, he had given Communist nations such as Poland and Yugoslavia, as well as “neutrals” then, such as Indonesia and Congo more than $7 billion.
As described by Eisenhower’s biographer, Robert J. Donovan, Eisenhower wanted to reform the Republican party and invigorate it with more “progressive” leaders and “positive” Republicans. “Negative” Republicans were those who took a hardline, anti-Communist stance. In his two terms, Eisenhower was rid of them. Senator Robert Taft and Senator Joseph McCarthy died, and 80 Congressional seats and 15 Senatorial seats were lost by the Republicans in Eisenhower’s eight years.
Eisenhower also appointed Earl Warren as Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Under Warren, from 1956 – 1958, the Supreme Court rendered verdicts on 52 cases involving communist subversion and espionage in the U.S. Most of those decisions came down to a 5-4 vote with Warren’s being the deciding factor. The communist-defendants’ positions were upheld 41 times as opposed to only 11 verdicts which were anti-communist.
Warren’s actions negated the sedition laws of 42 states. The government was not allowed to terminate employment of a federal employee even when it had been proved that they provided money and service to communist organizations. Under the shield of “protecting citizens from intrusion,” the courts nullified Congress’ ability to question individual citizens regarding espionage and pro-communist activities. Schools and colleges were unable to fire teachers and instructors who did not give information regarding their pro-communist activities.
Just in case this doesn’t sink in? This period gave rise to the infiltration of communist ideology in our schools and universities…just prior to the 1960’s…the “formative” period of people such as the Weather Underground (Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, to name a couple), and their colleagues, such as Hillary Clinton and Al “Al-Jazeera” Gore.
By circumventing and destroying our existing laws and procedures, Eisenhower managed to create the current generation that is hell-bent on destroying the United States completely.
