THE RESURRECTION OF NIKITA
BY LISA RICHARDS
OCTOBER 22, 2007
When Nikita Khrushchev gave his secret speech to the Twentieth Party Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union on February 25, 1956, it sounded like a man who truly believed in freedom as he denounced Stalin. Khrushchev declared he wanted a “peaceful co-existence” with the United States and Europe.
Even an anonymous audience member didn’t buy it, asking Khrushchev why he never stopped Stalin. Sound familiar yet? Keep reading; it will.
Reading the old speech I perceive very clever rhetoric. Words designed to make Khrushchev appear the man of the people as he praised the communist Lenin as some kind of folk hero who saved Russia from despair even though the truth is the opposite. Lenin may have been instrumental in ridding Russia from centuries of imperial Czar control, but he ushered in the reign of Soviet Communism, never giving the people the freedom and equality he promised. The manipulative constraints lasted until Gorbachev took control, introducing Glasnost to the people who took to the streets in revolution to communism.
Khrushchev never dissolved communism, nor was he any friend to the U.S.; maybe to Hollywood communists who adored him and “Uncle Joe,” but not to America. Khrushchev worked for Stalin; he did Stalin’s dirty work; he was Stalin’s second hand man turning a blind eye and never speaking up against Stalin’s atrocities, pointed out by that one audience member to the newly elected communist leader.
The truth is, Khrushchev was instrumental in helping Stalin massacre 100 million innocent souls in order to purge the Soviet Union of an unfit race after WWII—Jews.
Khrushchev was involved in those years of bloodshed and continued the Soviet Union of secrecy of lock-step government Stalin invented. No one was free under Khrushchev except those in the Kremlin who did his dirty work. No one in the Soviet Union was free to come and go until Gorbachev came in and gave the presses secret documents exposing the Kremlin’s corruption by pushing Glasnost openness.
Khrushchev was clever: he announced the era of Stalin’s “dictatorship of the proletariat” was over and “the state of the whole people” had begun. It never happened with Nikita. The Soviet Union grew more secretive and destructive toward the U.S. Is any of this ringing a bell? It should.
After Khrushchev gallantly spoke of peace, he turned like the communist he was, pushing the U.S. further into the Cold War: 1. Khrushchev promised economic aid to Afghanistan and Burma only if they swore allegiance and support to the Soviet Union, 2. in 1953, Khrushchev acquired the Hydrogen Bomb thanks to the traitorous American Rosenberg’s, 3. in 1955, The Warsaw pact of military alliance with communist countries against NATO was signed. These countries pledged to use nuclear power against NATO if war broke out, 4. 1957: the Space-Race began against the United States, 5. 1966: Khrushchev launched the Sputnik Satellite, 6. Khrushchev began a propaganda war against the United States and Great Britain.
Does any of this sound presently familiar? Does it echo a bit…oh I don’t know…Putin-esque?
“De-Stalinization” did not usher in capitalism. It did not bring about change for freedom. It didn’t even encompass European socialism—Gorbachev’s blind-sighted belief of a better Soviet Union. Under Khrushchev, communism simply advanced; any country endeavoring to create reform for freedom was brought under control by the Red Army Khrushchev sent in to quell any ideas by Soviets attempting to generate western democracy. Sounds like our pseudo-friend Putin.
Freedom finally came to the U.S.S.R. in 1991 when the Hammer and Sickle communist flag was lowered from atop the Kremlin and the Russian Flag was restored to its proper place. Soviet States broke up and all seemed well until Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was asked to become acting president by President Boris Yeltsin. In 2000, Putin won the election after the three month interval serving as acting president.
Putin won high approval ratings for his anti-terror platform and guarantee of economic growth. He held true to his promise and his approval ratings are still 70 to 80% high. But Putin, the man who brought Russia out of debt while cracking down on Chechen terrorists, pretended to be an American ally.
There’s an old saying: if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. Putin is a former KGB agent whose job was overseeing communist East Germany. He kept East Germans in line, not letting them leave or speak freely and openly against the Kremlin until 1991 when communism ended.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to guess what the KGB did to those who spoke out. They’re not alive to tell anyone what they knew; or they’re too scared to talk. That says it all. Those who do speak out today get a special bowl of soup. Once a KGB Agent, always a KGB Agent.
He may not be a Joseph Stalin terrorist, but Vladimir Putin is no good guy/nice guy America and the west can trust. Putin is in bed with terrorists, defending the Adolf Hitler of today—Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinedjad.
That was not Putin’s soul President Bush saw when he looked into Putin’s eyes. Mephistopoles in a Khrushchev suit is more like it.
Putin came to the U.S. after 9/11 pretending to be an ally. The opposite is true: he is the enemy pushing the U.S. into another East/West showdown. Putin is the guy who declared he “longs for the glory days of old Mother Russia.” You mean like Vladimir Lenin and his Bolsheviks; or Czar Nicolas and his imperialism. Or perhaps you simply wish to “bury” us.
On October 16, 2006, Putin declared any attempt by the U.S. to strike Iran is unacceptable to him. According to Putin; “we [American’s] should not even think of making use of force in this [Iranian] region…not only should we [America] reject the use of force, but also the mention of force as a possibility.”
That sounds like a forceful threat from a low-life commie in a turtleneck.
Putin has threatened the U.S. for building defense shields in Europe. The U.S. is placing missile defense shields to protect Eastern Europe against possible Iranian strikes. Why should Putin be against the U.S. trying defending innocent people from Iran? Is it because Putin desires to take down the U.S. as the super power to place Russia in that position?
How very Nikita.
Again, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to decipher the answer. Putin is a straightforward guy. He makes no bones about his contempt of all things American and his desire to make Russia number one in the world. He’s very upfront about defending Iran against the U.S.
Well, we have one honest communist since Khrushchev, who infamously declared he would “bury” the U.S. At least the true communists admit they hate us, wanting to destroy us, versus the closet commies like Hillary Clinton who pretends to be simple socialist wanting to join the E.U. while pretending she’ll give old people free medicine and $5,000 dollars cash from tax-payers to all the poor babies.
The October 16, 2007 issue of the New York Times made the meeting between Putin and Ahmadinedjad seem like a meeting between two Boy Scouts. Then again the Times love communists and terrorists and would love to see the two thugs take over the world. Then the Times would be the only American newspaper in existence.
Americans watching Putin speak out against us, reading his threats in papers and ignoring what the KGB/FSB communist is silently saying, considering him to be soon gone and the U.S. not threatened are wrong. President Putin is not going anywhere. He has already asked his Prime Minister to resign and take his place so Putin can go back to being Prime Minister of Russia. That keeps Putin in control and his plans to restore “the glory days of old mother Russia” easily accomplished.
Putin is Nikita Khrushchev resurrected.
Putin has taken control of the Russian government, placing it solely back in the Kremlin where he monitors everything. Putin has control of the Russian press, which can not speak freely without punishment. He has control of the Russian media and what they tell the people. Basically, Russian news is pro-Kremlin if one logs onto Russian newspapers. You have to go to the underground sites to get the truth; and how long they’ll last before shut-down occurs is up to Putin. Reporters who expose the Kremlin get a bullet in the head.
Don’t assume for one second Putin is not pushing the west into another Cold War. This is a man who dislikes capitalism and everything it stands for—unless it’s to line his pockets. If the U.S. has to go to war against Iran to stop a madman, Putin will not side with the U.S. He has made it clear he is on the side of terrorists and will defend Iran against the U.S. He doesn’t bother to hide the fact he’s helping Iran acquire nuclear bombs. If that happens, there will have to be war to stop a nuclear holocaust.
Those who think I’m disquieted over nothing ought to remember Nikita Khrushchev was considered an okay guy at first. But he was Stalin’s assassin; he tried to take down the U.S.; he bought stolen U.S. secrets; he threatened to “bury” us. Putin is no different. He was KBG/FSB; he is closing the Russian doors as he threatens the U.S. weekly with an attack if we dare take out the new Hitler on the rise.
