disturbing to some viewers. we, the negro people down here have gotten completely failed. it you know what they are going to do tonight? they are going after the white people. now they are after the white people. they're going to congregate. they are going to do the white man in tonight. they are going to do the white man in tonight. [church congregation singing] narrator: anarchy, the breakdown of law and order, a chaotic reign of terror, mob rule and rioting, the collapse of government authority. these phrases ring strange in the ears of americans, and for good reason. through the years, america has stood as the world symbol for law and order. our government is responsive to the will of the people. our courts and legislatures are the mechanics for peaceful address of grievances. and the policeman on the corner has traditionally been looked on as a friend, not as the instrument of a tyrant. anarchy, well, that was something we read about in our newspapers that was always happening in other countries. perhaps the people in other countries had just reasons to riot against their governments. after all, many nations in the world are dictatorships in one form or another. what business was it of ours anyway? newsworthy perhaps, but it could never happen here. then, in the summer of 1964, widespread rioting and looting broke out in harlem. in rochester, in newark, in jersey city, in philadelphia, cleveland, and chicago, all within a few days of each other, it was as though an unseen hand had given the signal. then on august 18, guns replaced 1965, nightsticks in the hands of law enforcement officers as the watts area of los angeles literally burst into a cauldron of insurrection. thousands of rioters roamed the streets both night and day smashing and looting, and , setting the torch to over 50 square miles of the city. hidden snipers held police and firefighters at bay as fires raged unabated. at least 35 americans died in the violence and gunfire. the sheer magnitude of this monstrous madness strained the abilities of the civil authorities and the california national guard were sent to watts with orders to quell the violence with brute force if necessary. the spectacle of american soldiers shooting it out with american civilians was even more shocking than the rioting itself. the nation was stunned and horrified. no smugness now. this time it wasn't a foreign country, this time it was "anarchy u.s.a.". the degree of communist influence and these riots has been the subject of discussion and controversy. for a solution on this controversy, let's review the events in recent years at home and abroad in light of the communists own plans for world conquest. >> the communists disdains and openly declares their ends can only be attained by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. >> the most powerful enemy can be conquered only by exerting the utmost effort and by thoroughly, carefully, attentively, skillfully taking advantage of even the smallest rift, of every antagonism of interest among the various groups or types within the various countries. >> divisive people, split them into quarreling factions fighting among themselves rather than their common enemy. this is the comrades first rule for the conquest of any country, for well do they know from long experience that the nation so divided and we can can be easily conquered from within. >> for mao zedong, finding the point on which to divide the people of china and create the revolution was simple. ththe chinese for centuries have been killers of the soil, eking a meager livelihood from land that they did not always own and for which they pay tributes to landlords who generally had large holdings. strong backs and legs were requisite to survival for the great masses who provided for -- who provided the power for china's limited and primitive industry and agrarian economy. the new regime promised reforms, but the communists were not interested in reform. they were dedicated to revolution because of the dissension and sabotage created by the insurrectionists and the reticence of some of the landlords and merchants to change the established traditions, the reforms were slow in coming. and so the rich and well to do were inclined to stay rich and well-to-do, and a lot of the poor fared only slightly better. and a minority of the chinese peasants accepted the idea so subtly planted and nurtured by the communist leaders. the so-called enemy of the people had been identified. it was the landlord. he was the cause of the misery and injustice, and so the point of division for the chinese people was established. in cuba, a land accustomed to crisis in government and the decrees of dictators batista , headed a regime that was the least radical cuba had known for decades. rising levels of education, culture, industry, and congress -- and commerce were enabling the people to enjoy the highest standards of living in all latin and south america. corruption in government there was, but no more than was to be found in many cities in the united states. fidel castro, a young, well-trained communist revolutionary with much experience, seized upon the issue of corruption in government as he undertook the creation of his revolution. it was the government, said castro, the government was responsible for the problems and depression felt by the people. it was the dictator and his followers. nos they weretista , the enemy. there was the poor and poorly educated who labored in the field. castro promised agrarian reforms that focused on the discontent of the rural community. they too were the enemy. and so the communists, experts at discontent began to split the , population into quarreling factions, setting cuban against cuban. algeria is the creation of the french. before the french came to the land now known as algeria, it was nothing more than a conglomerate of warring tribes. their constant fighting for the best pastureland each spring and the best barley land each autumn kept the native population of the area at about 1,500,000 for 14 centuries. today, after little more than 100 years of french rule, the population of algeria stands at about 9 million. under french dominion, the algerian nation grew and prospered. the two cultures of islam and christianity were working together to create a good life. in the early 1930's, the dissident voice of the communists was heard among the people. at first it whispered, the algerian nation is not friends, cannot be friends, and does not wish to be friends. independence is the natural right of all peoples. as the seeds of disunity began to germinate, the dissident voices heard more loudly to proclaim, islam is my religion. arabic is my language. algeria is my fatherland. and so too in algeria, where the issues that were to divide the people were clearly defined. it was to be muslim against christian. arab against european. algeria against france. the enemy was personified as the colon. with phase one, that of dividing the population, completed, the revolutionists were ready to move into phase two for the communist blueprint for takeover and create the appearance of popular support. in every country part of the empire, the actual number of communist party members at the time of takeover has been less than 1% of the total population. as lenin phrased it, communism must be built with non-communist hands. narrator: by cleverly beguiling people into unwittingly supporting the revolutionary program, the dedicated 1% can trick the 99% into surrendering their birthright. this they do by hiding the true communist objectives behind appealing slogans and pretended humanitarian goals. as a stalin explained -- >> the revolutionary excepts reform in order to use it as cover for his illegal work. narrator: in china, the propaganda mills were active in championing mao's agrarian reform. the propaganda is for trade in vivid detail, the hardships and injustices of the chinese peasants. the communists popularize the slogan, land to the tiller. mao zedong explained, we are not striving for the social and political communism of russia, rather we prefer to think of what we are doing as something lincoln fought for in this civil war, the liberation of slaves. in the united states, those books which praised mao zedong as a communist reformer were advocated reading, and some even became book club selections. it was later revealed that many procommunist books and articles were written and reviewed in this country by communists. the american people, unaware of the treachery, were conditioned to accept the excitement of china's millions. cubans rallied around the slogan --, but perhaps the most widely used slogan was the one later to be used in haiti and venezuela, and still later in english in the united states. we shall overcome. early in the revolution, fidel castro sought to reassure the people of the true nature of the uprising. >> i have said very clearly that we are not communists. our revolution is a humanistic one. narrator: the press of the world sang praises of fidel castro. many eulogized him as the savior of cuba. in the united states, castro was referred to as the robin hood of the -- that he pursued the same policy of taking from the rich and giving to the poor. the nation's press was quick to report, this is not a communist revolution in any sense of the word, and there are no coming -- there are no communist in position of control. the only power worth considering in cuba is in the hands of premier castro, who is not only communist, but decidedly anti-communist. and so the cubans, the americans, and the rest of the world were reassured that there was no infidel in fidel. in algeria more land on by , muslims than europeans, yet the propagandists claimed that the poor muslims were being oppressed by the wealthy european landowners. the call was for muslim unity. it was oppression, colonial oppression, the muslims were to fight. it was to be a holy war in god's cause. the insurrectionists declared that algerians were an oppressed people living under a to radical, colonial government, and therefore their revolt was a war of liberation. since all algerians held full french citizenship both muslim , and christian majorities regard the idea of liberation is ridiculous. leader of the revolutionists and four companions were arrested by the french and confined as political prisoners. he later escaped to cairo, where he and others said about the task of convincing france, the world, and the algerians that algeria needed to be liberated. he started a systematic reign of terror designed to intimidate the muslims into going along with the liberation movement. this book was published by the french army in an attempt to alert the free peoples of the world as to the true methods employed by the commonest led -- communist-led insurrections. the atrocities shown here were perpetrated upon the muslims by rebels parading under the banner of the national liberation front. ln.or f men, women, even children came under this merciless scourge in the name of freedom. we would never have brought these documents to the notice of public opinion had the torturers not chosen to depict themselves as victims, had the criminals not in transmuted into a keys -- transmuted into accusers and , that is exactly the way it appeared to the world. the french army was accused of police brutality. the godless revolutionaries were depicted as liberators. the insurrection was described as a popular and spontaneous uprising of the people. so affective was the programming of this big lie that some of the world's leading citizens were led to give aid and comfort to the enemy that plans to conquer the world. >> i am today introducing a resolution which i believe is , our best hope for peace and settlement and algeria. -- in algeria. it urges that the president and secretary of state be strongly encouraged to place the influence of the united states behind the nato, the prime minister of tunisia, the sultan of morocco to establish bases for a settlement of an independent personality of algeria, interdependent to france, and neighboring nations. i believe this to be of vital importance to us. narrator: this photo was taken october 15, 1962 in washington d.c. and carried the following , caption, premier of algeria and president kennedy as he stand as he receives full military honors shortly after his arrival today for talks with the chief executive. he is expected to thank kennedy for having called for algerian independence as far back as 1957. after receiving full military honors at the white house, he visited fellow revolutionary fidel castro before returning to algeria. in april of 1964, americans read in their newspaper -- far more important facts are that though very much a dictator is not a communist. , >> one month later in may 1964, ben bella was awarded the linen peace prize in moscow. non peace prize in moscow. he declared, our socialism stems from islam. we repeat before world opinion that we are not communist. -- we are not communists. after the communists found some issue or point of difference on which they can divide the people , get them fighting among themselves vetted in their common enemy the next at this to , create the appearance of popular support for the communist's war of national liberation. they have been devastatingly successful thus far, yet in one country after another, there have in alert, informed individuals who saw the signs, recognize the patterns of conquest, and raised their voices to warn the people against the just such a contingency. the communist developed their blueprint for world domination -- neutralize the opposition. >> we can and must write in a language which is so's among the masses hate, repulsion, and scorn towards those who disagree with us. directive reads -- members and front organizations -- >> members and front organizations must continually embarrassed, discredit, integrate our critics. when obstructionists become too irritating, label them as fascists, nazi comic or anti-semitic. constantly associate those who oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell. the association will after a -- the association will become fact in the public mind. : in china, the formula worked well, the word landlord came almost and invective. those who work for the government were looked upon as graphters. the government under chiang kai-shek was reviled as an enemy of the people, a fascist tool of the ruling class. those who refused to support the agrarian reformers were subject to surprise visits from roving guerrilla bands. the pattern was the same in cuba. those who were less than enthusiastic about castro's reform were effectively branded as "batista followers. ." algerians who saw through the fraud and endeavored to warn the nation or their neighbors were vilified as extremists, colonialists, racists, fascists. death, and the fear of torture and death were also most effective weapons against those who might resist the tyrannical takeover. the number of atrocities committed in the name of freedom upon the muslim people averaged nearly 20 per day for every day of every month for seven years. the next step in the communist 's strategy is the most easily recognized for it consists of the tactic of getting masses into motion, and thus precipitating mob violence. , master psychologist that they are, the communists know that once the masses are in the streets, it is not too difficult to convert an orderly demonstration into a full-scale riot. they know too that when rioting occurs, police and military forces of the government must move to restore law and order, and best, they had the first thus, they have the first visible sign of revolution. >> riots, demonstrations, street battles, detachments of a revolutionary army, such are the stages in the development of the popular uprising. narrator: the official program of the communist party stated in 1921 -- >> the communist party will educate and organize the working masses for mass strikes and mass demonstrations. it is through struggles that the working masses are prepared for the final conflict for power. as these strikes grow in number and intensity, they acquire political character through the unavoidable collision and open combat with the capitalistic state. mass action culminates in armed insurrection and civil war. narrator: in 1964, a communist document taken from the viet cong stated -- >> get the people out into the streets. s should beuarrel provoked. youth groups are to be armed with knives and clubs, allegedly to protect themselves in a manufactured tension. narrator: in china the communist , appeal was aimed primarily as students. young, idealistic intellectuals, most of whom came from wealthy families who could afford to send them to school. it was from this group, that the young, communist recruits came that provided the leadership and back on for the armed conflict to follow. in cuba, leftist-oriented students were the vanguard of the organized street demonstrations. once the masses were in motion, that tenuous line between demonstration and riot, between nonviolence and violence, was easily obliterated. as law enforcement officers sought to restore order, police brutality became the cry of the insurgents. algeria was more of the same. rallies, demonstrations, marches, and the inevitable flare of violence. the invariable charges of police brutality were hurled as efforts were made to maintain law and order. when marches and demonstrations turned into riots in any country slated for takeover, the communists are then ready to implement the final stage of their blueprint for conquest. it takes only a handful of armed opportunists, criminals, and savages to create the semblance of revolution. >> only insurrection can guarantee the victory of the revolution. the purpose of insurrection must be not only the complete , destruction and removal of all authorities and their replacement by new, but also the landlords and the seizure of the lands. narrator: chiang kai-shek had long been fighting the communist-inspired insurrectionists of mao tse-tung, when the japanese invaded the mainland of china. with the end of world war ii and the defeat of the japanese, the united states pressure chang into forming a coalition government with the communists through a truce and enforced arms embargo. the u.s. disarmed more than 30 divisions of chang kai-shek's nationalist troops. on the other hand, the chinese r to thets failed ai arms left behind the japanese, and with the help armaments for russian, mao was able to give them agrarian reform communist -style. when it was time for the shooting to begin in cuba, fidel castro received millions of dollars in cash and vast amounts , of arms and ammunition from the soviet union and communist groups throughout the western hemisphere. at the crucial time in castro's bid for power, the united states state department declared an arms embargo against batista's government refusing to deliver , the arms that had been paid for and were awaiting shipment. yet on the other hand, revolutionary sympathizers were delivering men, arms, and ammunition to castro daily from the united states. and so, the abraham lincoln of cuba, and the robin hood of the sierra maestro rode triumphantly into havana, was wined and dined in the united states, was hugged before the united nations, received the lenin peace prize, and finally admitted in a speech given december 2, 1961 to all the world -- >> i am a marxist-leninist and will be until the day i die. in algeria, the rebels were fighting their war of liberation with guns and ammunition sent to them through tunisia and morocco by the communist-blocked countries. revolution was coming to a head, a slight change in the overall strategy was instituted. presidenthe france came to algeria declaring with outstretched arms -- declaring with outstretched arms, i understood you. this day forward, france considers in the whole of algeria, there is one category of inhabitant. there are only frenchman in the full sense. he called for the people to vote on the question of independence for algeria and the majority voted to remain french citizens and an integral part of france. 3.5 million men and women have cast their votes of confidence. this is a fact that commits french -- france and algeria to each other for all time. two years later in 1960, the ridiculedh president the french nation of algeria and to talk of a known jury in a -- and toempty talk talk of an algeria algerian. ultimately, the revolutionary bin bella return to algeria and established a regime of which he here we solemnly replied that are socialism stems from islam. we repeat it for world opinion that we are not communists. been with minor variations in one country

each year, more nations lose their sovereignty to marxist intrigue. or degenerate into soviet satellite. the encirclement of the last bastion of capitalism. and what of it had its states? how goes the battle of the land -- and what goes of the united states? how goes the battle of the land of the free and the home of the brave? the communist plan for the conquest of the united states was explained to the american comrade by an agent. he was sent to this country by stalin for the specific purpose of laying the groundwork for the education that would eventually develop into a negro revolutionary movement. american negro problems was using thein 1928 eldest aunt pepper, and carried the official communist line for america. >> workers communist party for america in its fight for imperialism must

agricultural working masses, barry earmarks of the period of slavery constitutes a colony within the united states of america. the workers communist party of abolition offorth, the whole system of race discrimination. it is necessary to supplement the struggle for the right of national self-determination. self-determination means the right to establish their own state, create their own

defined these soviet negro republic. >> the actual extent of this new republic with an all possibility should be the present area in which the negroes constitute the majority of the population. and

nucleus of a future soviet republic. [band playing] at the national convention of the american communist party held in new york city in june of 1940, james ford the , communist party candidate for states said -- >> the negro people of america have in the communist party their best offenders. -- their best defenders. i accept this nomination for vice president of the united states. [cheers and applause] narrator: by this time, the communist champions of the negro race had hidden the slogans for a negro republic behind the humanitarian banner of jobs, security, civil rights, and peace. ♪ these humanistic issues were to provide the friction necessary to divide the american people , and lay the groundwork for revolution. >> when i was the young man, i was 20-years-old, i joined the communist party. i was a member of the national executive committee of the american communist league. -- american young communists league. in 1930, i was official communist candidate elected to the state assembly. i knew top ranking of american communists very well. because i trained with them at the lenin university in moscow. i joined the party because i honestly thought the communists were trying to help american negroes. i broke away from the party when it became clear to me what the commies were really up to. was to use the negro people in this country as fodder in a violent and bloody revolution and that the establishment of the american soviet dictatorship. it was that simple and it is still that simple today. make no mistake about it. what is happening in the united states right now under the banner of civil rights is exactly what has happened in china, in cuba, and algeria, and many other places around the world. >> i am julia brown. for nine years, i was a member of the communist party, serving as an undercover agent for the fbi. -- during that time i , learned that the communists and conspiracy had been planning and working for years to bring violent revolution to america. it was to be a communist revolution. but the great majority of the american people would not be allowed to realize that until it had already happened. if all goes according to the communist blueprint, americans will believe that the chaos and violence had something to do with civil rights. our enemies were quick to find our weakest point for their attack. they knew that racial differences would provide them with an excellent wedge to divide our people. that strategy simply has been to keep hammering on that wedge. to drive it deeper into our social status. -- our social structure. to open old wounds that had long since healed and deliberately to create new ones. wherever they can.
