Remembering Reagan - The HUAC Testimony
?Ivan,? Ronald Reagan whispered to himself as he headed into the House Chambers to testify before the House UnAmerican? Activities Committee, ?wish me luck, old friend.?
President Reagan never forgot his pen-pal, Ivan, who was slaughtered
by the commies in the October Revolution
The year was 1947 and America, fresh from cleaning up the filth abroad in Krautland and Japland looked inward to cleanse itself.? Commies.? Lousy, filthy, rotten, stinking, vile?commies.? While good Americans fought the good fight abroad, commies wasted no time infiltrating the culture and even the government itself.
Reagan, who?d wanted more than ever to get some Nazi or Jap blood on his hand (preferably both, he?d often say) wound up staying state-side, far from the action, making training films for our brave fighting boys.
President Reagan wanted nothing more than to personally
kill Tojo and Hitler.
?Well, General,? he said with trade-mark sincerity, ?I don?t mean to tell you your job but it seems a mighty big waste to stick an able-bodied man such as myself in front of a camera instead of the front lines.?
The General took the measure of the young captain.? True, he was strapping.? True, he?d be an asset in battle.? However, he couldn?t very well let this young subordinate make decisions for him.? Captain Reagan spent the next week doing voice-overs for syphilis cartoons which is as close to KP duty as that unit could get.
President Reagan learned early what hot-headedness got you -
narrating VD films.
The future president knew that a lot was riding on this.? Not only would this strike a blow for his dead pen-pal, Ivan, but the future of the United States?which he would some day lead.? Not only that, but a wrong word could blow his acting career?and his cover.? As president of the Screen Actors Guild, most commies found him above suspicion and actively tried to recruit him into the ?Red brotherhood?.? Reagan let them talk, listened hard?and reported back to the FBI.
His handlers worked every angle to keep him from testifying.? One wrong move and Hollywood could go commie and stay that way.? Hadn?t they already made ?Mission to Moscow??? In the end, even President Truman couldn?t find a way out.? It was a Catch-22 ? If he didn?t testify, it would look suspicious and if he did testify and didn?t play the scene to perfection then there?d be a Red behind every piece of scenery on the lot just waiting to be the one that caused the ?accident?.
President Reagan’s testimony could have endangered his life.? And on a
soundstage a murder could be made to look like an accident
They needn?t have worried, of course.? Reagan turned on the charm like the neon at the Brown Derby.? He didn?t think commies were a big problem in Hollywood but they were there.? He didn?t like ?em but this was America, right?? He wouldn?t take any guff from commies but he wouldn?t take any guff from anybody.? And then he wowed ?em with a big finish, a real tear-jerker of a speech, the kind Frank Capra would give his eye-teeth to film.
?Sir, if I might, in regard to that, say that what I was trying to express, and didn?t do very well, was also this other fear. I detest, I abhor their philosophy, but I detest more than that their tactics, which are those of the fifth column, and are dishonest, but at the same time I never as a citizen want to see our country become urged, by either fear or resentment of this group, that we ever compromise with any of our democratic principles through that fear or resentment. I still think that democracy can do it.?
Jackpot.
President Reagan’s testimony came up all sevens and he started
his pattern of making monkeys out of the commies
The FBI boys in the back of the room mopped their brows and slipped each other some skin.? ?Well, all reet!? He?s a cool customer, that Reagan guy,? said one, ?I oughta see more of his pix.?
As Reagan stood to leave, Roy Cohn sidled up beside him.? ?Heckuva job, Ronnie,? Cohn said, ?with a speech like that, you could be president some day.?
Reagan blushed and thanked him.? He looked heavenward.
?Well, Ivan,? he whispered to himself, ?I think we done good.?

Honestly, I find these Reagan-Stories quite unimaginative and unfunny.
Be good to mankind Shelly and kill yourself bitte.
Einmaliger, They’re unimaginative because they’re true. They aren’t supposed to be funny. They’re supposed to stir up patriotic sentiment and love for the greatest man the world has seen. Anyone who doesn’t respond has a heart of stone and is going straight to hell.
What did he do when he was a baseball caller? Was little Ivan in his mind? What were his beliefs about Major League Baseball? Don’t tell me the Red’s were infiltrating there.
And the problem is that the Reds still control Commiwood despite the Presidents best efforts. I think Ivan would have a grin on his face looking down from heaven right now. I guess you could ask who was running who? Who was Ivan? Was he in fact Ivan Karla, aka Karla, the Soviet spymaster who almost got his man in as top dog in MI6? If it weren’t for Smiley then, all of the free worlds secrets would have been free to the Soviet Empire. Imagine what would have happened then? The US economy would have been wrecked in a matter of months, they would have just turned off the oil. You people in the USA don’t understand. The world hates all of you, and if it werent of the Brits doing their feable best to clean up the mess, all the Chinese and all the Arabs, and the Russians, Koreans, Japanese, Africans, Indonesians, South Americans, Mexicans, French, Iranians, Egyptians, Sweeds and Danes, Celts, Goths and Akimbi, and probably the Canadians, are going the bomb the crap out of you.
So i reckon Smiley did more for freedom than President Reagan in the long run. But I think there was a connection between Karla, aka little Ivan, as I said. Thats at least what I think.
If all this crap is true, why don’t you people cite your reference materials?
Cannon Fodder:
Exactly right. Mostly because he actually doesn’t remember the exact details, so he makes it up to push his own barrow. The stuff about Ivan is an amalgum of a number of different Russians that Reagan had contact with in his early years when he was deeply in love with his first wife:
“More than 20 years ago, President Kennedy defined an approach that is as valid today as when he announced it. “So let us not be blind to our differences,” he said, “but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved.” Well, those differences are differences in governmental structure and philosophy. The common interests have to do with the things of everyday life for people everywhere. Just suppose with me for a moment that an Ivan and an Anya could find themselves, oh, say, in a waiting room, or sharing a shelter from the rain or a storm with a Jim and Sally, and there was no language barrier to keep them from getting acquainted. Would they then debate the differences between their respective governments? Or would they find themselves comparing notes about their children and what each other did for a living? Before they parted company, they would probably have touched on ambitions and hobbies and what they wanted for their children and problems of making ends meet. And as they went their separate ways, maybe Anya would be saying to Ivan, “Wasn’t she nice? She also teaches music.” Or Jim would be telling Sally what Ivan did or didn’t like about his boss. They might even have decided they were all going to get together for dinner some evening soon. Above all, they would have proven that people don’t make wars. People want to raise their children in a world without fear and without war. They want to have some of the good things over and above bare subsistence that make life worth living. They want to work at some craft, trade, or profession that gives them satisfaction and a sense of worth. Their common interests cross all borders.”

-Ronald Reagan, Address to the Nation and Other Countries on United States-Soviet Relations, January 16, 1984.
Its no suprise that that wife was soon disposed of and replaced with a lady who was later called the First Lady.
President Regan was a great man. But he was horribly compromised in his early life by his drunkard Irish father’s commitment to communism. It was actually the LA cop played by Russel Crowe who first turned him. All through the 1980’s he did the bidding of his KGB controllers so that as planned the KGB would be in all the top positions in the Russian government by 2003 He was the KGB stooge in the Commiwood saga. The KGB used him to defeat Rockafeller in 1972, the man the Russian empire most feared during the 1970’s. If Rockafeller got in, then the whole Nixon/Deepthroat op would have been wasted. Ever since Reagan was President, the name of the USA has been dirt. Remember the glorious liberation of Hamilton? Or the preemptive strike against Hiata? Or how the USA defeated Colonel Gadaffi. It was sick farce, scripted by the KGB and paid for by Saudi oil.

President Reagan wanted nothing more than to personally
kill Tojo and Hitler.
Hitler: Me too!
Tojo: He was a poor puppet of the military command. Still tempting, but I rather pity the poor fool.
President Reagan learned early what hot-headedness got you -
Unfortunately, he never took any lesson from it.
Other than that, the story isn?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•t that good. PS: That about Ivan was a story. Not a fact, okay?
Anyone who doesn?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t respond has a heart of stone and is going straight to hell.
What if one responds to one story (little Ivan) but not to another one (this bs)?
The world hates all of you, and if it werent of the Brits doing their feable best to clean up the mess, all the Chinese and all the Arabs, and the Russians, Koreans, Japanese, Africans, Indonesians, South Americans, Mexicans, French, Iranians, Egyptians, Sweeds and Danes, Celts, Goths and Akimbi, and probably the Canadians, are going the bomb the crap out of you.
Hey, you forgot the germans! :)
The German Guy
IMPEACH BUSH!
PS: I think Reagan did not want to kill Hitler in 1947. It?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•s quite hard to kill someone who is already dead, you know.
Oh, and the commies would perhaps have begun their infiltration then. Till 45 they had just a little more urgent things to do. (A bunch of several million Germans armed to their theeth, called the Wehrmacht, coming at you are a good reason to focus your attention. Russia sufferred more casualties than every other nation in WWII.
Hah. All I know is Reagan and his buddy and head of the CIA at the time, Bush Sr., are pretty much responsible for the creation of crack cocaine– discovered solely to get American drug users addicted to something else as a means to cut off money to Columbian drug cartels. Only since his death have documents begun to surface. I’m sure when Bush Sr. kicks the bucket the entire scandal will surface– similar to that of the videos proving that LSD was government created for war.
