History See other History Articles Title: Brief Comments On Another Government Sellout My wife and I recently went to a military museum with a group from our church. The exhibits, mostly from the World War 2 era, were quite interesting. This museum contained quite a bit of information about General Claire Lee Chennault and the Flying Tigers who were very instrumental in saving Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist Chinese from the Japanese during World War 2. General Chennault was a native of Louisiana and was, apparently, quite an astute observer of what went on in China during his tenure there. A lady that worked at the museum also gave a short talk. She has been to China and had some interesting comments. She noted how Mao and the Chinese Reds thoroughly hated General Chennault and sought to erase all memory of him from Red China. Down the memory hole as it were! Although, now, she says, the present Chinese government seems to have relented somewhat and tends to take a more benevolent attitude toward General Chennault. Since the present government of China is still Communist, you have to wonder what they intend to derive from this shift. This lady felt that China today is not quite the same as it was under Mao, and that is probably true to some extent. However, she described China today as "a socialistic country with a communistic attitude...almost like our country." I doubt that she realised the full extent of what she said, and I don't quite think she meant it the way it sounded, but that's the way it came out. Unwittingly, she was quite correct. She also mentioned a Tex Hill, I think, that had written a book about his time in China in which he lamented the fact the Roosevelt had allowed China to fall into Communist hands. It seems that Mr. Hill, in his book, noted that, had this not happened we would not have had the Korean War or the Viet Nam War and things in Asia would have been much better all around. Mr. Hill's observation was correct, though it seems he may not have grasped the fact that Roosevelt and his leftist associates wanted Mao and the Reds to take over in China and so he deliberately made sure the Chinese Nationalists were sold out and did not have what they needed to defend themselves from the Reds. General Chennault, to his credit, seems to have understood what went on. Chennault recorded his experiences in China in a book called Way of a Fighter. "Vinegar" Joe Stillwell, who will be familiar to old Asia hands as well as to those who search for accurate history, came in for much commentary in Chennault's writings. On page 317 of his book General Chennault noted: The American mission to Yenan was hardly established before Stillwell's Chungking staff began to proclaim loudly the superiority of the Communist regime over the Chungking government. Contents of secret reports from the Yenan mission were freely discussed over Chungking dinner tables by Stillwell's staff. No secret was made of their admiration for the Communists, who, they said, were really only 'agrarian reformers' and more like the New Dealers than Communists. Maybe this was because they couldn't tell the difference between Communists and New Dealers since the two were so similar! And General Chennault continued: The Yenan Communists shrewdly tickled Stillwell's vanity with many flattering appreciations of his military prowess and clinched him as an ally by shrewdly letting it be known that they would be delighted to have him command their armies. Stillwell never gave up hope of commanding the Chinese Red armies...During this period there was a strong group of left-wingers in the Far Eastern Division of the State Department who used Stillwell's sympathy for the Chinese Communists and his violent antipathy to the generalissimo as a lever to shift American policy in favor of the Communists. That's pretty plain spoken, but the same truth can be found from other sources also. I'd recommend The Web of Subversion by James Burnham and America's Retreat from Victory by Senator Joseph McCarthy if you can still find them somewhere. You might also check out the Internet. It's too bad that more people in the right places in government didn't take General Chennault's viewpoint of the true situation in China rather than listening to the leftist-oriented State Department. The Roosevelt administration was literally riddled with left-wingers and outright Communists, and Mr. Roosevelt was quite familiar with where they were at politically--and it bothered him not one iota--the same as Abraham Lincoln was not bothered by the socialist/Communist proclivities of so many who supported him and helped him get elected, and who served in his armies of conquest. Both Lincoln and Roosevelt were leftist in their mindsets. However, don't hold your breath waiting for the so-called "history" books to ever reveal this. That sort of accurate history will not help to indoctrinate the masses into the virtues of the collectivist state mentality, and may even cause some to ask questions that our political and media parasites would rather not have to answer--at least not in public. So it's better for them if folks are just not made aware of all this--less sticky problems that way! And there are those in Washington, now, and since the time of Lincoln, who love to have it so. May the Lord visit those still living with either the sincere desire to repent of what they have done, or with judgement.
