The Iron Curtain Over America

By Col. John Beaty

This 1951 book by Col. John Beaty, a distinguished scholar and a U.S. military intelligence officer in World War II, warned Americans about an impending peril: Some 46 years ago, this patriotic American foresaw the threat which a Clinton-type “Amerika” would pose for the Christians in the United States, just as the Soviet state did for the Russian Christians.`

Jesus Christ, speaking in Jerusalem

PHOENIX, Aug 4, 1997 – A book by a former high-ranking U.S. military intelligence officer and a Columbia University historian covers the Zionist/Communist infiltration and subversion of America. It begins with early history of the Jews and ends in 1952.

Here is what some prominent Americans, Beaty’s contemporaries, had said about it:

Senator William A. Langer, former Chairman, Judiciary Committee: “I think it ought to be compulsory reading in every public school in America.”

Lt. Gen., George E. Stratemeyer, USAF Ret.: “I congratulate you on your book and the service you have performed for our country. If my health would permit it I would go on a continuous lecture tour gratis and preach your book and recommendations. My ‘Iron Curtain Over America’ will be on loan continuously and I intend to recommend its reading in every letter I write.

Lt. Gen. Edward M. Almond, US Army Ret.: “It is an inspiration to me to find an author with the courage and energy to research and to secure the publication of such information as you have assembled in order that the poorly informed average American may know wherein the real threats to our Country lurk. Your book is a magnificent contribution to those who would preserve our American ideals.”

Vice Admiral T. G. W. Settle, U.S.N. Ret.: “‘The Iron Curtain Over America’ is a most pertinent and excellently presented treatise on the cancer on our national set-up. “I hope this book has had, and will have, the widest possible dissemination, particularly to our leaders-in Washington, and in industry and the press,—and that our leaders who are “uncontaminated” will have their serious attention engaged by it.”

Lt., General P. A. Del Valle, USMC Ret.: “I am impelled to write to you to express my admiration of your great service to the Nation in writing this truly magnificent book. No American who has taken the oath of allegiance can afford to miss it, and I heartily recommend it as an honest and courageous dispeller of the fog of propaganda in which most minds seem to dwell.”

So if a U.S. Senator and four generals from four different branches of the U.S. military give a book such a ringing endorsement, chances are it’s a “must read,” right?

It is. But we have to warn you – it may also be a “musty read” for those of you who do manage to get a copy. For, the book is 46 years old. We’ve tried to find out what happened to the author – without success, as the publisher, Chestnut Mountain Books, Barboursville, VA, seems to be no longer in business. Considering the author’s age at the time he wrote the book (see the photo below which depicts a man in his 60s), it seems reasonable to presume that he has since died.

UPDATE Aug 4, 2017: Well, thanks to the internet, we can update this review now. Col. Beaty died on Sep 9, 1961. You can learn more about his life here – in Metamedia.

But his work lives on. For, much of what Col. Beaty wrote back in 1951, still applies today. Like the corruption of our political system by the leftist liberals. Or that the globalist U.N.

sympathizers attempts to Or the NWO’s assault on which seems to have lessened, in the last 46 years.

A Short Biographical

The author of The Iron Curtain Over America has written, or collaborated on, a dozen books. His texts have been used in more than seven hundred colleges and universities, and his historical novel, Swords in the Dawn, published originally in New York, had London and Australian editions, and was adopted for state-wide use in the public schools of Texas. His education (M.A., University of Virginia; Ph.D., Columbia University; post-graduate study, University of Montpellier, France ), his travel in Europe and Asia, and his five years with the Military Intelligence Service in World War II rounded out the background for the reading and research (1946-1951) which resulted in The Iron Curtain Over America.

Col. Beaty, a distinguished scholar and a proud American, spent most of his life, including the five years of intensive research (1946-1951), gathering the information upon which this book is based. Keep in mind, therefore, that “The Iron Curtain Over America” is the culmination of serious research by a respected expert, not propaganda, such as the half-truths or outright falsehoods which the anti-Christian NWO has been feeding us. No wonder Sen. Langer said – the book “ought to be compulsory reading in every public school in America.”

Well… it isn’t. On the contrary. The book was hard to find. Which is why some of you may find this review a shocking revelation. And see what they didn’t tell us in the supposedly “liberal” public school education in America.

FRIENDLY RELATIONS BETWEEN GERMANY AND AMERICA AT START OF 20TH CENTURY

The friendly relationships between the United States and Germany existed not only on the governmental level but were cemented by close racial kinship. Not only is the basic blood stream of persons of English descent very nearly identical with that of Germans; in addition, nearly a fourth of the Americans of the early twentieth century were actually of German descent (Chapter IV, below).

Thus, in the early years of the twentieth century the American people admired Germany/ It was a strong nation, closely akin; and it was a Christian land, part Protestant and part Catholic, as America had been part Catholic since the Cavaliers leave to Virginia and the Puritans to New England.

Moreover, the old land of the Teutonic Knights led the world in music, in medicine, and in scholarship. The terms Prussia and Prussian, Germany and German had a most favorable connotation. (Page 7)

The “Russ” and the “Khazars”-Historical Enmities

The book opens up with a historical perspective of the distant region of the world which we today call European Russia. It explains how the Khazars, “a belligerent tribe of half-Mongolian people, similar to the modern Turks, conquered the territory of what is now Southern Russia.”

In the eighth or ninth century, Khazars’ leader wanted a religion for his pagan people. He adopted a form of the Jewish religion. Thereupon he and about 4,000 Khazars were circumcised.

Also in the Middle Ages, Viking warriors pushed from the Baltic area into the low hills west of Moscow. These immigrants from the North and West were principally “the ‘Russ’—a Varangian tribe in ancient annals considered to be related to the Swedes, Anglos, and Northmen.”

From the local Slavic tribes, they organized (c. 862) a state, known subsequently from their name as Russia, which embraced the territory of the upper Volga and Dnieper rivers and reached down the latter river to the Black Sea and to the Crimea. Russ and Slav languages, though quite different, had common Indo-Germanic origin. They accepted Christianity as their religion.

The “Russ” were absorbed into the Slav population which they organized into statehood. The people of the new state devoted themselves energetically to consolidating their territory and extending its boundaries. The Slavs, especially those in the area now known as the Ukraine, were engaged in almost constant warfare with the Khazars. Finally, by 1016 A.D., they destroyed the Khazar government and took a large portion of Khazar territory.

Relations between Slavs and the Judaized Khazars in their midst were never happy. The reasons were not racial—for the Slavs had absorbed many minorities—but were ideological (emphasis added). The original imported rabbis were zealots for the Babylonian Talmud, completed on December 2, 499. Their successors were in complete control of the political, social, and religious thought of their people. The intransigent attitude of the rabbis was increased by their realization that their power would be lost if their people accepted controls other than Talmudic. It has been frequently stated by writers on the subject that the “ghetto” was the work not of Russians or other Slavs, but of rabbis.

Under the Romanovs of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, there was no change in attitude toward the Judaized Khazars, who scorned Russian civilization and stubbornly refused to enter the fold of Christianity (emphasis added).

When Nicholas I died, his son Alexander II [reign, 1855-1881] decided to try a new way of winning the Khazar minority to willing citizenship in Russia. He granted his people, including the Khazars, so many liberties that he was called the “Czar Liberator.” His “reward” was death. The “Czar Liberator” was assassinated in St. Petersburg in 1881 by “a bomb thrown at his carriage.” Some of the assassins were of Jewish Khazar origin.

The “Russian Revolution” Was Not Russian At All

In Russia and abroad in the late nineteenth century, many Khazar Jews had been attracted to the writings of Karl Marx (1818-1883), partly, it seems, because he was Jewish in origin.

“On both paternal and maternal sides Karl Marx was descended from rabbinical families” (Univ. Jew. Encyc., Vol.VII, p. 289) (emphasis added).

The Marxist program of drastic controls, so repugnant to the free western mind, was no obstacle to the acceptance of Marxism by many Khazar Jews, for the Babylonian Talmud, under which they lived, had taught then to accept authoritarian dictation on

everything from their immorality to their trade practices. Since the Talmud contained more than 12,000 controls, the regimentation of Marxism was acceptable— provided that the Khazar politician, like the Talmudic rabbis, exercised the power of dictatorship (emphasis added).

Various elements of this restless aggressive minority nurtured the amazing quadruple aims:

1. International Communism
2. Seizure of power in Russia
3. Zionism
4. Continued migration to America (with a fixed purpose to retain their nationalistic separatism.)

The name Bolshevik (bol|{evik) means majority (from Russian “Bolshe,” the larger). It commemorates the fact that at the Brussels-London conference of the party in late 1902 and in early 1903, the violent Marxist program of Lenin was adopted by a 25 to 23 vote. The less violent Menshevik (men|{evik) Marxists (meaning the minority of 23 who lost the vote), faded from the picture after revolution started in October, 1917. After 1918, the Bolsheviki called their organization the Communist Party.

In 1917, the Germans, realizing that he would be a troublemaker for their WW I enemy, Russia, passed Lenin and his party in a sealed train from Switzerland to the Russian border.

In Lenin’s sealed train, “out of a list of 165 names published, 23 are Russian, 3 Georgian, 4 Armenian, 1 German, and 128 Jewish” (The Surrender of an Empire, Nesta H. Webster, Boswell Printing and Publishing Co. Ltd., London, 1931). [i.e., 78% were Jewish].

“At about the same time, Trotsky (Leon Bronshtein from Brooklyn, NY) arrived from the United States, followed by over 300 Jews from the East End of New York and joined up with the Bolshevik Party.”

According to the data furnished by the Soviet press, out of 556 important functionaries of the Bolshevik State. . . in 1918-1919, 17 Russians, 2 Ukrainians, 11 Armenians, 35 Letts, 15 Germans, 1 Hungarian,10 Georgians, 3 Poles, 3 Finns, 1 Karaim, 457 Jews (i.e., 82% were Jewish].).

The triumphant Khazars, aided by other “converts” to Communism, strengthened their grasp on Russia by a succession of “purges” in which many millions of Russians lost their lives.

As the decades passed by—after the fateful year 1917—Judaized Khazars kept a firm hand on the helm of the government in the occupied land of Russia. In due time they built a bureaucracy to their hearts‘ desire. The government – controlled Communist press ―issued numerous and violent denunciations of anti-Semitic episodes, either violence or discriminations.

Also, “in 1935 a court ruled that anti-semitism in Russia was a penal offense” (Univ. Jew Encyc., Vol. I, p. 386). Among top-flight leaders prominent in the middle of the twentieth century. Stalin, Kaganovich, Beria, Molotov, and Litvinoff all have Jewish blood, or are married to Jewesses.

Clinton and FDR: Birds of a Feather

The new rulers of Russia promptly and effectively penetrated the countries of Western Europe, Canada and the United States. Their first spectacular triumph was (President) Roosevelt’s recognition, less than nine months after his inauguration, of the Soviet government of Russia. A lengthy article, “Moscow’s RED LETTER DAY in American History,” by William La Varre in the American Legion Magazine (August, 1951) says the move was arranged by “Litvinoff, of deceitful smiles,” and by “Henry Morgenthau and Dean Acheson, both proteges of Felix Frankfurter.”

Acheson, sometimes referred to as the “Frankfurter’s boy,” was one of Stalin’s paid American lawyers. “Acheson was on Stalin’s payroll even before the Soviet Union was recognized by the United States,” writes Felix Wittner in the American Mercury magazine (April, 1952). Yet that did not prevent Acheson from becoming President Truman’s Secretary of State.

[TiM editor: Switching for the moment back to America of 1997, just as Acheson was a paid lobbyist for Stalin, today we have the likes of Henry Kissinger et. al. lobbying for the Communist China. Add to it a high concentration of Jewish-Americans in the Clinton administration’s foreign policy and defense teams, and one begins to appreciate why we may have greater reasons to worry today about the lives of our children, than did the Americans in the 1930s. Luckily, we have the benefit of hindsight they didn’t have. Forewarned-forearmed? Let us hope…]

Another similarity between the Clinton and FDR is a low regard for the U.S. Constitution which the two presidents had sworn to protect. FDR, for example, made an actual treaty with the Soviets, giving them the right to establish a communist embassy and consulates in the United States, granting full diplomatic immunities for Stalin’s agents, the bloody bolsheviki – all without the approval of Congress!

Sound familiar? Just as the Clinton administration signed the Dayton agreement in 1995, for example, and committed the American troops to Bosnia – without the approval of Congress! And has been cozying up to China in recent years.

It would not surprise us, therefore, if Manhattan’s West Side Highway (now known as the Henry Hudson Drive) became the Bill Clinton Drive in a couple of decades from now, completing a symbolic conquest of New York by the “reds” – from East to West. (The East River Drive, which passes by the United Nations site, was renamed FDR Drive after Roosevelt’s death.)

A more frightening thought, however, is – how many Americans may have to die before Clinton gets his name on a New York freeway? If the nation’s casualties during the FDR years are any indication, we are in for a real bloodbath. The American Christians may be 46 years closer to their Holocaust than they were when this book was written, as the anti-Christian NWO wages neo-colonial wars.]

The “Unnecessary War:” How America PROVOKED the War with Hitler

In a speech before the Dallas, Texas Alumni Club of Columbia University on Armistice Day, 1950, General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower stated that as Supreme Commander in Europe he made a habit of asking American soldiers why they were fighting the Germans and 90% of the boys said they had no idea.

The American soldier is not the only one who wondered and is still wondering about the purposes of World War II.” Winston Churchill has called it “The Unnecessary War.” In view of our legacy of deaths, debt, and danger, Churchill’s term may be considered an understatement.

In late July, 1933, an International Jewish Boycott Conference (New York Times, August 7, 1933) was held in Amsterdam to devise new means of bringing Germany to heel. Samuel Untermeyer of New York presided over the Boycott Conference and was elected President of the World Jewish Economic Federation.

Yet, the 1930s economic sanctions against Germany were a benign precursor of the NWO’s murderous economic sanctions of the 1990s, which killed millions of innocent civilians in Serbia, Bosnia, Iraq, North Korea, etc..

Back in the U.S. from Europe, Untermeyer described the planned Jewish move against Germany as a “holy war – “a war that must be waged unremittingly” (speech over WABC, as printed in New York Times of August 7, 1933).

A “holy war that must be waged unremittingly” against the “gentiles?” Keep in mind that was back in 1933, when Hitler was still a relative newcomer on the political map of the world.

In 1937 and again in 1938 the German government made “a sincere effort to improve relations with the United States, only to be rebuffed.” The U.S. Government‟s alleged reason was “a fear of domestic political reactions in this country unfavorable to the Administration.” (Page 31)

ALTZAR: And who was FDR afraid of?

 

“AMERICA AND THE WORLD JEWS FORCED ENGLAND INTO THE WAR” (Neville Chamberlain, British PM)

It would appear, therefore, that one thing the “Semites” (both Jews and Muslims) have in common is a zeal to exterminate the “less worthy” humans of other persuasions – be it other Semites (respectively) or Christians. Theirs seems to be the philosophy of exclusion and separatism, not of inclusion and tolerance. Which is why they preach inclusion and tolerance in America – in the form of globalism and multiculturalism, while practicing exclusion and separatism while – by enslaving the Christians or other non-Semites.]

War seems to have suited the purposes of the powerful Judaized Khazars element, dominant in the inner circles of the Democratic Party in America, Col. Beaty says. They regarded with enthusiasm the killing of as many as possible of the native stock Americans of English, Irish, Scotch, Welsh, German, Dutch, Scandinavian, Latin, and Slavic descent.

This non-Christian power bloc therefore endorsed “Unconditional Surrender” and produced the Morgenthau Plan, both of which were certain to stiffen and prolong the German resistance at the cost of many more American lives, and many more German lives, too.

Unfortunately, President Roosevelt became obsessed with the idea of killing Germans [and Japanese? Bob Dj.] rather than defeating Hitler [or Japan]. Perhaps taking his cue from his Commander-in-Chief—a term Roosevelt loved—General Mark Clark told American soldiers of the Fifth Army that, “it is open season on the Anzio bridgehead. There is no limit to the number of Germans you can kill” (New York Times, February 13, 1944).

Such a stress on “killing” or “kill” rather than on a “cause” or on “victory” is definitely at variance with the traditions of Western Christian civilization, Col. Beaty says.. It is also costly in the life blood of America, for “killing” is a two-edged sword. An enemy who would surrender in the face of certain defeat will fight on to the end when truculently promised a “killing”—and more Americans will die with him.

[No wonder some 75 million humans perished in the 20th century alone, according to Gen. Alexander Lebed, a former Russian presidential candidate, as a result of such policies.]

“Where Did Hitler Get His Six Million Jews?”

A Reuters dispatch of March 13, 1951 from Tel Aviv (Washington Times-Herald) stated that notes delivered yesterday [March 12] in Washington, London, and Paris and to the Soviet Minister at Tel Aviv urged the occupying powers of Germany not to “hand over full powers to any German government” without express reservations for the payment of reparations to Israel in the sum of $1,500,000,000.

This compensation was said to be for 6,000,000 Jews killed by Hitler. This figure has been used repeatedly. But if one consults statistics and ponders the known facts, Col. Beaty wonders how it was arrived at.

First of all, back in 1939, he says, there were only 600,000 Jews out of Germany’s 69 million population. The World Almanac for 1940 gives the world’s Jewish population as 15,319,359.

According to The World Almanac for 1949, the number of Jews in the world was 15,713,638. If the World Almanac figures are correct, the world’s Jewish population did not decrease in the war decade, but showed a small increase (emphasis added).

Such wide discrepancies prompted the author to ask the question of “where Hitler got the 6,000,000 Jews he is said to have killed?” Meanwhile, some 5,000,000 Germans were unaccounted for—4,000,000 civilians, and 1,000,000 soldiers who never returned from Soviet labor camps, he noted. [Over 20 million Russians and other Christians also perished in WW II].

But just in case you may suspect from the preceding that Col. Beaty may have been some sort of a “closet Nazi sympathizer,” Beaty also wrote that state controls “may produce a dictator. And once a dictator is in power no one (as shown in the case of Hitler) can chart his mad course.”

Appeasing Stalin

The Prime Minister of Britain, the Right Honorable Winston Churchill, was alarmed at President Roosevelt’s silly infatuation for Stalin and the accompanying mania for serving the interests of world Communism. “It would be a measureless disaster if Russian barbarism overlaid the culture and independence of the ancient states of Europe,” he wrote on Oct. 21, 1942, to the British Foreign Secretary, Anthony Eden. Churchill also wanted an invasion of the Balkans, which Roosevelt and Marshall opposed apparently to please Stalin (emphasis added).

Col. Beaty wonders why, except for appeasing Stalin, were the Allied forces devoted to strategically unimportant Italy, the winning of which left the Alps between our armies and Germany.

Why did they not land, for instance, in the Salonika area – a springboard for the historic Vardar Valley invasion route? This route leads without major geographic obstacles through Yugoslavia to the heart of Europe. It would have helped the Allies defeat Hitler without giving Stalin all of Christian Eastern Europe as a compensation. Officially, Gen. Marshall stated to a Congressional Committee that the “purpose” of the Italian campaign was to draw “German forces away from the Russian front.” (emphasis added).

At Potsdam (international conference), Truman maintaining intact Roosevelt’s iron curtain of secret diplomacy, played fast and loose with American honor and security. He agreed to an enlargement of the boundaries of a Poland already delivered by Roosevelt and Churchill to Russian control through addition of areas that had for centuries been occupied by Germans or people of German origin.

Some 14 million persons were brutally expelled from their homes with the confiscation of virtually all their property, Col. Beaty notes. Only 10 million finally reached the American, French, and British zones of Germany. Four million mysteriously disappeared. Thus Truman approved one of the greatest mass deportations in history, which for sheer cruelty is a dark page in the annals of history.

[Nowadays, we would abhor such policy as “ethnic cleansing.”]

Warning to Americans: The U.N. Charter is NOT the U.S. Constitution

Patriotic Americans should be warned against spurious attempts to draw parallels between the United States Constitution and United Nations regulations. The Constitution, with its first ten amendments, was designed specifically to curb the power of the Federal government and to safeguard the rights of states and individuals, the author writes.

On the other hand, the United Nations appears to have the goal of destroying many of the sovereign rights of the member nations and of putting individuals in jeopardy everywhere— particularly in the United States.

We must not forget the iron curtain over America, which has blacked out the truth that Russia was founded by the Russians, who were men of the West, men from Scandinavia, whence sprang the whole Nordic race, including the great majority of all Western Europeans, Col. Beaty warns.

Consequently, we should never speak in a derogatory manner of Russia or Russians. “Each time we attack ‘Russia’ or ‘the Russians’ when we mean the Bolshevik hierarchy, or speak contemptuously of ‘Asiatic hordes,’ or identify world communism as a ‘Slav menace,’ we are providing grist for the Kremlin mills,” he says.

Finally, we must not forget that leaders in Russia since 1917 have been not patriotic Russians, but are a hated coalition of renegade Russians with the remnants of Russia’s old territorial and ideological enemy, the Judaized Khazars.

[A final editorial note to the Truth in Media readers: For any of you who are Jewish- Americans, or of Jewish descent anywhere else in the world, and who may be tempted to switch to “auto-pilot” and accuse us of anti-Semitism for having done this book review – don’t!

Nothing would be further from the truth than levying such an accusation at us. This writer is a Serbian-American. During WW II, many Jews were saved from the Nazi pogroms by the Serbs, who often times risked or lost their lives doing it. They include the Jewish-Americans, like Maj. Richard Felman, USAF Ret., whose life the Serbs saved along with the lives of over 500 other American pilots’ (see TIM GW Bulletin 97-07,7/22/97).

Our sole purpose in reviewing this book review was merely to show the truth which our public school system has withheld from us. “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”]
