When I was a kid the world seemed so big. Columbus sailed thousands of miles across dangerous oceans to find a new world. Just over 80 years ago Nazi Germany started invading its neighbors. The world began to shrink for the US when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and 4 days later Germany declared war on America. In May 1940 Belgium was attacked and taken over by the SS. In Belgium it wasn’t until May of 1944 that Anne Frank was discovered in hiding by the Germans. Eventually she ended up at Auschwitz Concentration camp, where she inevitably succumbed to starvation. I mention Belgium and this shrinking world because my father a poor kid from Boston, was shot in Bastogne Belgium in the Battle of the Bulge. Germany opened a southern front attacking The former Soviet Union (Russia) through the Ukraine. This was one of dozens of attacks over centuries against Russia through its southern border the Ukraine. Today the world has shrunk to the point where war has ended up at our borders. We watch enemy globalist forces seeking to destroy us converge and allow tens of millions into our country, many American hating terrorists. The battle has changed from tanks, fighter planes and guns to a war on our sovereignty, culture, currency and standard of living. This war against us has many firsts. Much of our own government is plotting to destroy our way of life for their own financial gain. How much more can this unquestionable success of a society take before this enemy within creates enough division that it triggers the final blow? Or will the present day patriots be able to stop this treason and set our beloved country back onto its foundation? Only time will tell. J.Goodrich

You know James I think anarchy ought to be classified as a mental disease. Tbe b.l.m. crowd, antifascists and actually all those thugs from the 60s like the weathermen /ayers cultists…they are all anarchists who have no legitimate reason for angst so they invent one.

Actually, they were constipated from the pharmaceuticals they were taking and weren't getting any quality "affection". I believe it was S. Freud who said that unrelieved frustration turns to hostility.

I was home on special leave from Viet Nam to my home in Chicago during the '68 DemoKrat Konvention and watched in on TV at some friends' house while testing a hookah with a bowl the size of a shot glass, but didn't inhale. They thought it was exciting and wanted to go down and check it out in person. I couldn't believe what my home town had turned into and preferred Viet Nam where I felt safer, had a gun and all my friends had guns and more.

The leaders of that particular CF were:

Abby Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Bill Ayers (Obama's ghost writer and, I believe his wife, Bernardine Dohrn).

Absolutely! The Chicago PD mercilessly wailed on them, the press and innocent bystanders and were made out to look like the bad guys.

Now there's a personal history lesson well recorded Jim!

My GGrandparents were central Austrians, moved and migrated/resettled north west to towns somewhere in the GermanRhineland. And for reasons unknown migrated again to America in 1909 were processed on Ellis Island and wound up in Minnesota. So as a boy in 1909 my grandfather Charles was entered the archive registry asking for citizen ship. There have been family members who have on foot attempted to trace the trail back but have limited success. My cousin Paul was stationed in Berlin for 6 years. As traveling tourists they checked record books in small towns for the last name, often finding clues to the elders journeys. Time consuming it was, as much had been stripped from the archives and lost.
