FDR and the U.N.

A friend of mine asked for my opinions on FDR and certain aspects of his conduct as president.

You may be interested in my response, contained in two separate messages.

Second Response:

  

I have not heard back from you. Did you receive the information I sent in response to your request?

I have been thinking further about the FDR thing, and about all the disturbing information I learned in the Chambers and Patton books.

Three things:

1. FDR’s domestic and economic policies were extremely harmful to the nation and to the Constitution. He expanded the role of the federal government far beyond the limits of the Constitution, producing alarming intrusions on civil liberties and unprecedented fiscal burdens which have continued and grown further to this day. Moreover, he unlawfully extended the scope of presidential executive authority by, among other things, issuing an Executive Order which constituted an egregious violation of the civil rights of tens of thousands of U.S. citizens when he ordered the confiscation of the property and the internment in prison camps of entire families of Japanese descent. This is an ugly stain on our nation which was just as horrific as was slavery in an earlier era, and set a precedent regarding presidential executive orders which is being continued today with extremely disturbing implications.

2. FDR’s closest advisor, Harry Hopkins, was later identified as a Soviet agent.

3. The war in Europe should have ended in the summer of 1944 in France. General Patton’s Third Army had three German divisions all but encircled in central France. All that was needed was to close the forty mile wide Falaise Gap, and Patton was on the move. He suddenly received orders from General Eisenhower to halt his advance. Patton was stunned and mystified. If he had succeeded in closing the gap at Falaise, the Germans would have been finished. He pleaded with Eisenhower to reverse the decision, and appealed to General Marshall, who reported directly to FDR.

Patton’s appeal was denied.

Patton seriously considered ignoring his orders and continuing forward to complete the encirclement of the German divisions. Many of his staff officers supported this idea. But Patton was already in disfavor with Eisenhower over earlier accusations of disobeying orders (in situations where Patton had done the right thing despite contrary and ill-advised orders). He was also under intense attack by the leftist press who fed the notion that he was an out-of-control war monger. So he decided reluctantly that he must obey his orders and halt his advance.

This begs the question – why did FDR not want the war to end in 1944?

There are three answers to this question:

1. General Patton was becoming a problem because he was too good, and he knew too much.

2. The British, under the command of the incompetent Field Marshall Montgomery, had been promised a victorious march into Berlin alongside their American allies. The British forces in northern Europe were far behind in achieving the agreed-upon Allied military objectives in their advance toward Berlin, in great part due to serious errors in judgment by Montgomery.

3. Most importantly, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA)   under the command of Marshall Zhukov, was still engaged in desperate fighting hundreds of miles east of Berlin. They too had been promised a share of the spoils in an Allied link-up at Berlin.

So an early victory pulled off by Patton, making him the undisputed and sole victor of the war in Europe, was simply unacceptable.

Conclusion:

FDR, advised by Soviet agents, delayed the conclusion of the war by a full year in order to protect Soviet interests and to protect the Soviet agents in the U.S. government from inevitable exposure by Patton.

Furthermore, if Patton had defeated the Germans at the Falaise Gap, he would have been venerated by the entire world, and it would have been almost impossible to resist his demands to continue on to Moscow and to destroy the Red Army.

Of course, as we all know, Patton was absolutely right, and if his recommendations has been accepted, the separation of eastern Europe from the rest of the continent by an Iron Curtain never would have happened. In fact, the enormously expensive and destructive Cold War never would have happened.

All of this begs a final question, raised by Robert Wilcox in his book about the assassination of General Patton:

Was Franklin D. Roosevelt himself a Soviet agent?

I suggest another larger question:

Did the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt serve humanity, or did he set back the quest for the permanent world peace promised by Bahá’u’lláh by decades, if not longer?

You decide.

Interesting question – you may not like my answer.

I have no information that FDR was influenced by the Bahá’í writings.

I do know that one of FDR’s principal advisers at Potsdam and Yalta, as well as at the conferences at Dumbarton Oaks and San Francisco in connection with the formation of the U.N., was Alger Hiss.

Hiss was a Soviet agent. His treason resulted in the abandonment to the Russians of thousands of Allied soldiers in German POW camps in territory taken over by the Russians, as well as the forced repatriation pursuant to Stalin’s demands of hundreds of thousands of refugees and Soviet POWs interned in Allied refugee camps. All of these repatriated refugees and soldiers were executed or sent to Siberia to the Soviet Gulag on their return to Russia in railroad boxcars.

Hiss had delivered secret American and British working papers for the conferences to Stalin, and was aware of the Soviet bugging of the hotel rooms where U.S. and British representatives were staying, completely sabotaging the Allied negotiating strategy at the end of WW II. His role in these conferences resulted in the consignment of millions of innocent people in Eastern Europe to decades of life under the tyranny of Communism behind the Iron Curtain.

But FDR agreed to all of this. No such person could have been influenced by the Bahá’í teachings - at least I hope not.

It is also reported that Alger Hiss was the primary U.S. drafter of the U.N. charter. He was doing so under direction from his Soviet handlers.

The U.N. has been a great disappointment – it is controlled by leftist and third world thugs who hate liberty and freedom. It is has also become a mountain of corruption and a massive waste of U.S. taxpayer funds. This occurred in large part, I believe, as a result of the structural flaws which were intentionally incorporated into the U.N. charter by Alger Hiss and the Soviets. Stalin did not sign on to the U.N. charter because he was naïve – he knew exactly what he was doing.

Hiss was also deeply involved in scheming by the leftist U.S. government to insure that Mao Tse-tung was not defeated by the Nationalist forces in China. This is a long story, but quite shocking. Chang Jung discusses this in her landmark book “Mao: The Untold Story”.

There are numerous books which document these facts, but which the leftist media refuses to report on. Several which I have read recently include the greatest American autobiography ever written – “Witness” by Whittaker Chamber, a former colleague of Alger Hiss in the Communist Party. This is the book which had a profound impact on Ronald Reagan, resulting in his conversion from a Socialist to a conservative. I will forward to you my review of “Witness”.

Roosevelt was directly warned about Hiss by Whittaker Chambers in the late 30s after Chambers ‘deserted’ (as he put it) from the Communist Party. FDR ignored the warning. His entire administration was infested with Communists who were committed to the destruction of the American constitutional republic and the rule of law. Chambers’ description of his experience in the Communist Party and his return to God, and his “Letter To My Children” which served as the foreword to “Witness”, are extremely moving. (See attachment)

Here is a key paragraph from that letter, in  a section labeled

“What does it mean to be a Communist?

A second significant book on this topic is “Target: Patton – The Plot to Assassinate General George S. Patton”  by Robert K. Wilcox. The information disclosed in this book is truly shocking. It appears that the Roosevelt administration and the Soviet NKVD (predecessor of the KGB) colluded in the assassiv>

In nothing shall I be so much a witness, in no way am I so much called upon to fulfill my task, as in trying to make clear to you (and to the world) the true nature of Communism and the source of its power, which was the cause of my ordeal as a man, and remains the historic ordeal of the world in the 20th century.

For in this century, within the next decades, will be decided for generations whether all mankind is to become Communist­, whether the whole world is to become free, or whether, in the struggle, civilization as we know it is to be completely destroyed or completely changed.

It is our fate to live upon that turning point in history.”

A second significant book on this topic is “Target: Patton – The Plot to Assassinate General George S. Patton”  by Robert K. Wilcox. The information disclosed in this book is truly shocking. It appears that the Roosevelt administration and the Soviet NKVD (predecessor of the KGB) colluded in the assassination of General Patton, with the active assistance of the leftist U.S. press, which painted Patton as a loose cannon and possibly insane.

Patton not only recognized the evil of Stalin and the Soviet Union, but he also had intimate knowledge of the many extremely serious errors in judgment and poor leadership by Marshall, Eisenhower, and Montgomery in the conduct of the war. These mistakes resulted in prolonging the war needlessly, and the loss of life of hundreds of thousands of German and Allied soldiers. For one thing – the horrible and brutal winter campaign in the Ardennes Forest in the winter of 1944-45 (“The Battle of the Bulge”) never should have happened.

Patton made no secret of his intention to insure that Eisenhower could never be elected to public office, and of his utter hatred of the evil nature of the Communists and Communism – both Soviet and U.S. (General Patton went out of his way to insult Marshall Zhukov at a celebratory joint Allied dinner at the conclusion of the war, which intelligence sources reported led Stalin to order the Patton assassination.)

This assessment of Communism was shared by General Claire Chennault in China – founder of the Flying Tigers – who was outraged when he learned of a secret U.S. mission to Mao involving a meeting with Chou En-lai in Yenan where the People’s Liberation Army (PLA)  was holed up in northwest China. This meeting was approved by FDR at Hiss’s insistence. Following FDR’s death in April 1945, Chennault let his feelings be known to Truman and consequently was relieved of command of the Fourteenth Air Force in China.

Chennault was one of the greatest generals of WW II and saved millions of Chinese people from savage treatment at the hands of the invading Japanese troops. Yet he was not even invited to the Japanese surrender ceremony in Tokyo Bay.

For these reason and more, I would not want to see the Bahá’í Faith associated with FDR. Furthermore, I can’t believe that he would have done so much to facilitate the spread of Communism in the world if he had been influenced by the Bahá’í Faith.

Sorry – I doubt that you expected this kind of response. I believe FDR caused incalculable damage to this nation, which has much to do with the dire condition in which we find our country today. The truths discovered by Whittaker Chambers are more relevant today than when he wrote “Witness”.

Subject: for a friend

A Baha'i friend of mine is writing a book... He is asking a question you both probably know :-)

Here it is:

I have always believed that Roosevelt had pushed for the creation of the United Nations (San Francisco 1945) because he had been inspired by Baha'i books that would have been handy. But is this true?

Could you please find an answer to that question. I would be very grateful.
