PEOPLE MY AGE (BOOMERS) GREW-UP IN THE ERA OF THE COLD WAR:
Even Though The World Powers (USA Vs Russia) Weren’t Lobbing Rockets At Each Other From The Outset Of The Cold War (1947 – 1991), Their Proxies were Doing it for them Throughout the World, Most Notably In Southeast Asia (Vietnam).
For People Who Don’t Know . . . The Cold War Wasn’t Just Fought Between the Two Superpowers in Foreign Lands, it was Also Fought on American Soil, Right in the Heartland of America, as Russian Operatives “Juiced-Up” the American Population on College Campuses. The Worst Case Was Kent State (May 4, 1970), where Four Students were Shot Dead, With Nine More Being Wounded By The Ohio National Guard.
It Wasn’t As If During Those Heady Days Of The “Love Generation”, the Hippy Culture with the Explosion of Drug Use Amongst College Students that Led to Daily Riots & Street Demonstrations Against the War in Vietnam & Sticking-It to the Man . . . Happened In A Vacuum.
Even Back Then In The ‘70’s . . . Russian Operatives were Hard at Work in America & Around the World Destabilizing Governments, while Planting the Seeds of Discontent & Communism in our Academic Institutions to all Age Groups.
Ronald Reagan is Credited with Ending the Cold War with His Strategy of Star Wars & His Famous Line Delivered at the Brandenburg Gate (Berlin) On June 12, 1987 . . . “Mr Gorbachev – Tear Down This Wall”.
In Reality, President Reagan Deserves Enormous Credit For Helping To End The Cold War . . . But it was More than Just Ronald Reagan. It was the Images Carried on Russian TV, that Showed the Rioting American Students Fighting with Truncheon-Carrying Police . . . The Unintended Consequences Of Those Images Also Showed Much More Than That.
THEIR OWN PROPAGANDA DID THEM-IN:
The Images The Russian People Saw Beyond The Street Violence . . . Were of Stunning Modern Buildings in the Background, Including Modern Apartments, Beautiful Homes, Finely Cultivated Lawns, a Never-Ending Slew of Restaurants, Retail Boutiques, Brand New Shiny Cars of all Makes, Models & Descriptions Parked Along the Streets . . . And Amongst So Many Other Things . . . Well Dressed Demonstrators.
These Were All The Things No Average Russian Citizen Could Ever Dream Of Having, But The Americans Had It All . . . There was Certainly Something Very Wrong with the Picture, which these Images of Wealth in America Portrayed to the Average Russian Living in Impoverishment.
Reagan Forced Russia To Spend Itself Into Poverty, to the Point where Russia Had No Choice Other than to Capitulate to America . . . The Russian Alternative Would Eventually Become A Revolution.
But That Said . . . Even Though Gorbachev & Subsequent Russian Leader Boris Yeltsin Wanted to Carry-On a Period of Perestroika (Reform) & Glasnost (Openness) in Russian Politics, Giving the Russian People More Freedoms to Speak-Out, Travel & Participate in Capitalist Commerce . . . Marxism Was Never Far Away – Then Came Putin.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED. JUST THE DATES & THE PLAYERS:
Putin Wants To Re-Establish A Semblance Of The Iron Curtain . . . And the Former Greatness of the Russian Empire, as if it was ever Really Great, which Could Become a Nightmare for Much of Europe (East & West) if Russia Could Ever Go Beyond Ukraine . . . But I Don’t See That Happening.
NAPOLEON HAD WATERLOO . . . PUTIN HAS UKRAINE:
I See Russia as a Paper Tiger in the Throes of National Demise, as Putin’s Dream of Russian Re-Dominance Over Eastern Europe will Lead the Russian People to Despair & Revolution. I Doubt Very Much if Putin Wants to Go to War with NATO, Considering Russia Can’t Defeat a Country a Fraction of its Size.
The Moment The Money Dries-Up . . . So Does The War Against Ukraine & Goodbye Putin.
CHINA IS A HUGE THREAT TO THE WEST – BUT MAYBE NOT THE WORST:
I Worry A Great Deal About Islamists Who Are Financing The Enemies Of Freedom From Within.
Sure It Sounds Great That Saudi Arabia Is Modernizing. But Are They? Is there Freedom of Expression in the Arabian Kingdom? Are Women Equal to Men, or are Women Still Subservient to Men? Can any Religion Practice & Proselytize Freely in Saudi Arabia? Are Immigrants who Work in Saudi Arabia Treated with a Modicum of Equality & Respect?
The Answer To All The Above Is No . . . So What Kind Of Country Does Trump Want To Make Deals With?
Is Qatar, Iran’s Close Friend Any Better, Given that it is the Home & Financier of the Propaganda Rag – Al Jazeera, the Financier of Hamas, and a Huge Supporter of Ivy League American Colleges & Universities, where After Years of Preaching Hatred Financed by Qatar & Other Islamist Bad Actors in the Hallowed Halls of American Academia . . . Against Israel, Jews & Conservative Americans . . . What Do You Think?
I’ll Tell You Who I’m Worried About . . . I’m Worried About the Generation of Americans (Canadians & Europeans Too) who Have Been Inculcated (Brainwashed) by Years of Skillful Academic Manipulation, Who will Take to the Streets as they Did in the “Summer Of Love” During Trump’s First Presidency & Wreak Havoc, Like We Have Never Seen Before On Our Own Turf.
We Are Surrounded By Our Own Children . . . Who are Filled with Ignorance & Passionate Hatred for Conservative & Constitutional Freedoms, Based Upon Years of Lies, Deceit, Misinformation & Uber Destructive Guidance by the People we Trusted the Most to Educate our Children.
AND WHO DID THIS? . . . LOOK TO THE MIDDLE-EAST, RUSSIA & CHINA:
And Who Allowed It To Happen? We The People Are Singularly Responsible.
We Chose The Politicians To Make This Country Great All Along . . . And What Did the Politicians Do While we Became Absorbed in LEFTIST Hollywood, LEFTIST Television, LEFTIST Media & Hedonism. They Got Rich Taking Money From The People Who Have Been Surreptitiously Poisoning The Minds Of Our Children.
DO YOU REMEMBER KENT STATE? – DO YOU REMEMBER THE SUMMER OF LOVE?
We Didn’t Pay Attention – And Now The Enemy Has Breached Our Gates.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

I remember Kent State, and I also remember the Kennedy shootings, and when Johnson became president, I was afraid that we were going to have another world war. It was a proxy war, and while we lost it, we really had no obvious danger to the USA. Now, with the last 4 years, we are living on the edge of disaster. If we don’t keep the congress in the mid-term elections, I fear that the US is doomed to follow the UK into oblivion.
Closer to home for Jews: fo you remember the 30’s in The enlightened Germany, ‘ We are German first and then Jews’. Welcome to ‘ We are Canadian, American, French, British …… first and then……. NEVER AGAIN is already happening!!!!!
Other people feel hate for Jews because of jealousy. God gifted Jewish people with blessings to prosper wherever they are, & because of their individual & collective success throughout time, others have been jealous & hate them for it. As for USA, it’s the same for other nations’ leaders. They are jealous of our success. The US has also been blessed in the past due to our Christian heritage & communist & Islamic leaders want us destroyed & take over world dominance. Sin is ugly for sure.
Useful idiots then. Useful idiots now. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
You are correct. We allowed it. As an example: Congress can give themselves RAISES & COST OF LIVING RAISES w/no oversight. They have a FUND that no one is allowed to see for the wayward Senate & House members. They have NO TERM LIMITS. All of these need to change NOW. And the ‘Wayward’ Fund needs to be made public. NOW. WE need to ‘impose’ term limits without the Senate/House having any say. It is OUR MONEY THEY ARE SPENDING.
Saudi Arabia deserves credit with MBS having done an almost 180 with his country. They have stopped funding 90% of their nefarious activities directed at the West & respect President Trump. Sadly (& predictably) Qatar has been more than happy to “fill the void” (having won the hydrocarbon LNG lottery). The Saudis killed Islamist Khashoggi (2018) when they tired of him publishing destructive articles in the Washington Post which were actually written for him by the Qataris. No great tragedy..
Qatar & Saudi Arabia are the two biggest enablers of terrorism who speak from both sides of their mouth, are funding all terror organizations with hundreds of millions of dollars annually with only one condition, “not in my house”. Hamas/Hizballah are made out a bunch of uneducated, unemployed peasants how had no future till they found a “well paid job”, status & authority as terrorists. What incentives do they have for peace? Lose their income & status and be nobodies again? I don’t think
Congrats Howard, this is one of your best. Thanks
