I have said before on this blog about reading books. I have said to read and read and read. Several years ago I discovered reading again and have found it the most perfect way to see the world through many eyes. I have also discovered as to how much long term propaganda has been around. It is amazing and for someone like me who is able to see the trees for the forest, I can enjoy all media and not allow myself to fall into the reality or lack of reality trap…
Gutenberg books is a place that allows for free to download old out of copyright books. Many of these are classics and many are written late 1800’s to the early 1900’s…

This site is truly a godsend for seeing the way the eyes, mind and souls looked at the future. I am a science fiction fan and have literally been amazed at how much truth and how much they did not and or could not fathom, in changes our world would see. It really is fantastic and the ideas presented in these books about our future are for the most part, lacking, technology advances, accurate in all aspects…
But an area that has not changed and looks like it will not change, is the villain and from whence he came…
99% of the time that villain’s Slavic (chiefly Russians, Ukrainians, and Belorussians) and they are the most evil, dastardly and well funded demons the earth can imagine, Especially within that time frame….. And even within our modern time frame, these Slavs are beyond imagination and abilities. But then as now, Americans, with an occasional friendly help from Great Britain overcome any and all obstacles. Be it a magnetic ray that sends the earth plummeting into the sun and or a spaceship so advanced that we have nothing like it. But! We soon have, because we are America…. And because we are Gods chosen people, we overcome the evil that lurks within all hearts of every Slav alive…
One area of great concern was the Bolshevik era in Russia. This was an exceedingly predominant area of concern for writers. The poor Slavs under the thumb of the most sickening and evil Bolsheviks, was a serious concern and America has to save these peasants from certain death and degradation…
Occasionally a German popped up and he was as nasty as they come, but almost always even the German was funded by a Russian…. Damn them Russians…. An important thing that came across was that the evil Russian, was never killed. It was believed he was dead, but he always came back in the next book. This evil Russian driven by his hate for democracy, capitalism and just everything in general about the perfect country called America. Was never satisfied to kill millions and millions of people in America, he wanted to genocide Americans and rule the world. The only thing that stood in his way, was America and once America was gone, he could rule the world with ease…
The really interesting thing about the books; The plot was about a country called Russia and we Americans were the moral side of the world. The story writers would be aghast at what has happened to the world. These people wrote about a country that always stood for good and helped all who needed it, even when the others could not agree to help to even save the world. America would time and time save the world, even when the world was at odds with each other…
During that hundred years since these books were written, things have reversed and now America has become the exact thing that we wrote so vehemently about…. Russia…
Thousands and thousands and thousands of books with this theme as an underline to its plot…
This extended heavily with in such famous publications as Astounding Science Fiction books to a typical full length novel and at that time just 10 to 20 cents bought tons of reading for the pleasure of being propagandized constantly. This is even prevalent with in the teenage series of books such as Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, from the start of the 1930’s…
Every book literally sends a message. The evil was Russia and the American people stood together and shook their fists at the evil, even when millions were dying and I just read one book; An America child raised his fist in his last death gasp, he looked at the deadly Russian flying machine and defiantly shook his fist at the machine. Then in the ways of evil Russians and only by God does an evil Russian know why! The Russian pilot staffed the young American child defying him to his last breath, with rounds of some wicked weapon of destruction. The child would be shredded and still have his fist raised in defiance…
Tough kid…
This is a common theme amongst the books…. as people stood their ground and died with dignity…
Hard to imagine the America now being that defiant against anything but having their iPhone taken away…
The message I am telling is this…
We have been invaded by our own selves for the life of our young country. I can read for myself the propaganda in all its glory from the yesterdays of our writers. These men and woman wrote what was expected and asked of them. Most of these works are series of books, all cheap and all propaganda. Even some of these writings have carried on into the modern times, such as Hardy Boys, for example… Nothing has changed, except…
We have moved basically from a media that you have to have abilities to read, to a media that allows eye candy to infiltrate the soul…. A media that takes no imagination and no abilities needed to watch and enjoy and indoctrinate…. God Bless Hollywood… 🙁
In over a hundred years of media…
It is all at your fingertips. Media in book, magazine and now movie form and there for you to read, absorb and watch. One hundred years plus of constant, “Russia did it!”
Does that sound familiar? We live a life of nothing but, Russia Did It!” and sometimes North Korea, China, Germany and of course we had a few years of Middle east demons wanting to take our country away…
Being on the outside…
I am glad I am on the outside of America. Looking in at America is scary and sad at the same time. But I am glad that I escaped from such a mess. Yesterday was Defenders of the Fathers Day. It was a holiday for military guys. Since I am military, I was invited to Vova’s and he had a party going. It is a big holiday in Russia and they are all off today also…
I had an interesting question asked of me…
Why do Americans hate Russians so much?
This morning I realized why we hate Russians!
Our (Western) media is awash with a constant stream of, “Hate Russia, Hate Russia!”
Sorry, you have been mislead about Russia… And yes propaganda is just not an American issue. But America is #1 in propaganda…
