THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

Fascism grew in Europe and the Communist reaction to it was exactly wrong. No historian will ever mention it, but Communists put Adolf Hitler into power. After the 1932 German elections, the Communists and the Nazis had a majority of the German Parliament, the Reichstag. No government could be formed without either the totalitarian Communists or the totalitarian Nazis.

In 1932 the German Communists could have prevented Germany from becoming a one-party anti-Soviet country if they had concentrated on that and not demanded power. They told Germany, "You must choose, Hitler or Communism."

The Communist "intellectuals" had struck again. So Germany became Nazi. Hitler announced his plans, again, of making Russia into German Lebensraum. He and Japan signed the anti-Cominterm Pact.

And the brilliant, perfectly coordinated, ingenious, well-oiled International Communist Conspiracy STILL didn't get it.

God, I feel for the sane Communists of those days! They were looking straight at the destruction of their whole system and the Leftist Homeland, and their geniuses and experts didn't see a damned thing.

Remember, no one in the whole multibillion-dollar complex of Soviet Analysis had the slightest idea in 1985 that the entire Soviet Empire and the Soviet Union itself would disappear in five years, and no one has had the slightest criticism of that fact. You NEVER become an expert by being right.

But out in the sticks, some Bob Whitaker types on the far left were doing something about it. I cannot put a lifetime of experience into a book, let alone an article, so let me tell you in comic form what happened. One of these days, this is going to be how history records what happened.

All that stood between Hitler and Russia was Poland, a country which had been divided between different countries in Europe so many times they had lost count. It had been put back together by the Versailles Treaty in 1919, and it lay between Stalin's USSR and Hitler's German Reich. By 1938 the Versailles Treaty had fallen apart and everybody knew Poland was going to go back to being German territory or Soviet territory. After World War II it became Soviet territory.

Soviet survival hung by a thread. And what were revolutionary Geniuses in Moscow doing? They were still working with Hitler. There is a bizarre bit of Marxist theory that explains this, but we don't have time.

In that decisive moment, someone had been grooming Stalin's savior. There was a guy named Winston Churchill. He was a big name in Britain and had been personally responsible for the total insane disaster of Gallipoli in the First World War. His father had been a big man in the British Government and had ruined himself by quitting the Parliament because he was upset. They never asked him back and he lost all power and retired from politics.

Winston Churchill had just done the same thing. He was in retirement, his political career ruined.

Talk about a "useful fool" let me tell you about this Churchill guy. Everybody could see that America towered over the world to the west of Europe. International Communism was a major power in every country in Europe and the Soviet Union was ready to take over Eastern Europe if they could get Hitler out of the way.

So how did Churchill view the whole situation? Churchill was obsessed by the "Balance of power" in Europe. This "balance of power" was the theory Britain had adhered to when Europe was master of the world. It was why Britain spent twenty years defeating Napoleon. As far as Churchill was concerned, the only real problem was this new Napoleon over in Germany.

Churchill said, "I would ally myself with Satan Himself to defeat Napoleon, I mean Hitler."

This was the guy who could save the Leftist Homeland!

It was a VERY close call. If Churchill had not demanded war against Hitler, and Hitler alone, after Hitler and Stalin divided up Poland, the entire German Army would have been all the way to Siberia in a couple of years. The Japanese would have met them somewhere in Siberia.

There is much more to the story. Hitler's ambassador in Japan was a Stalinist, and he had more to do with destroying the Third Reich than any of the Moscow Geniuses. The daughter of the American ambassador to Berlin in the 1930s was a Stalinist. These two facts have been a matter of public record since the 1940s. Even the most liberal historian will not deny them.

With all this on their side, the Experts and Geniuses of the Communist Conspiracy not only didn't save the Soviet Union, they stood in the way the whole time. It's one hell of story.

And it will never be told.
