The following is a letter I sent to Brad Meltzer of BM Decoded. In reference to him referring to Adolf Hitler as “The most Evil Man in History”.
Adolf Hitler was far from (To quote your episode)”The most evil man in history”. I agree Himmler was very sinister and Hitler was a sociopath with an Oedipus complex. His roots do not differ much from another community organizer who came to power with a messianic image.
Yet the holocaust as tragic as it was only took the lives of 6 million Jews and so called undesirables. (6 Million is a mutually accepted figure by historians) This was indeed an act of genocide. Yet how can you dismiss the 15 million Russians executed, and another 10 to 15 million Ukrainians killed by famine all at the hands of Joseph Stalin, A man who murdered 22,000 Polish officers in the Katyn forest and tried to blame it on his partner at the time Adolf Hitler. Stalin was singly responsible for the death of over 35 Million Russians and the starvation of another 9 Million German P.O.W.s of the 10 million Germans who surrendered.
Finally Mao Zedong. One number 50,000,000 starved to death. (Conservative estimate. Some put it at 80 Million)
Why is Hitler the “Iconic face of Evil” ? Why do Stalin and Mao get a pass? Is it their politics? Are you a left wing Socialist/Communist leaning producer? Just answer that one question. Why is Hitler your choice for the Iconic face of Evil when those in the Allied forces went on to kill a combined 85 Million innocent people.
Sincerely,
Ace
PS. Please feel free to fact check my numbers. I believe them to be conservative numbers. Let me add one more fact. Why isn’t Stalin the Iconic face of Evil by the simple command of allowing his red Army to Rape and Kill 1.5 to 2 million innocent German women and children in Berlin in 1945? I believe Stalin’s exact quote was: “Tell the troops to enjoy themselves”. No, Hitler was an awful dictatorial Psychotic despot madman surrounded by evil buffoons. But the acts of Rape, Murder and Starvation by Stalin or Mao make Hitler look like a 3rd rate thug who knocks over Bodegas. Far from the “Iconic face of Evil” in all of history.
I could have mentioned Napoleon, Atilla and other Evil killers, but Chairman Mao, who is a favorite of this administration, and Joseph Stalin are the real faces of Evil in the History of mankind. Even more so because they killed their own people.

I don’t know if today’s indoctrinated public school systems focuse on helping the student find his or her inner voice. (Occupational direction and passion) In the 60s we had elementary school classes like Arts and crafts. We had band class or Music class. You could take “shop” class and learn how to hammer a nail and “Heaven Forbid” use a table saw.
I was a first grader when Elvis had just gotten out of the Army. I was born the year Elvis released “Heartbreak Hotel”, “I want you. I need You, I love you”, “Love Me Tender” “Hound Dog” and “Don’t be Cruel”. Needless to say; it was a good year for the kid from Tupelo Mississippi.
In 1962, Elvis filmed the movie: “Follow That Dream”. The record was the first serious 45 RPM recording I ever owned. (Alvin and the Chipmunks not withstanding) I can’t recall how many times I saw the movie on the silver screen as my parents used the El Rey Theatre as a baby sitter. (Pretty much the way parents today use DVDs and Ipads, in an Orwellian fashion, to keep their toddlers from getting into trouble) So in 1st grade (Or grade 1) when each child had to stand up and tell the class what they wanted to be when they grew up; the girls said: “nurses” and the boys had a little more latitude as some said: “Policemen”, some said: “Firemen”, some said: “Soldiers” and since the space race was popular at the time, some said: “Astronauts”. In my class, one little wise ass kid (Me) stood up and said: “I want to be like Elvis Presley”.
They use to have musical aptitude tests in 1st grade elementary schools. I excelled at almost every instrument I picked up. So they stuck an alto Sax in my hand and said: “You’re going to be a Sax player”. They didn’t have the guitar as a choice way back then. They were all marching band instruments. So from 1962 to 1967, I was well known as a child musical prodigy. I even wrote a song at the age of nine that got published in the town newspaper. I savored the attention. Then later that summer my mother died. I had what is now described as a major paradigm shift. Life as I knew it ended. Overnight my life went from being one of the “Partridge Family” to being Eddie Corbett from “The courtship of Eddie’s father”.
That same year my father took me to Candlestick Park in South San Francisco to see my first Major League Baseball game. It was truly a magical treat as I got to do something special with my father and I got to see the great “Willie Mays”. Move over Elvis, there was something new I admired in my life and a whole new field of endeavor called Baseball. If you’ve never had the experience to see a Major League Baseball game, in the 60s, you walked up rather dark and damp ramps outside of the stadium until you got to your section. Then you opened these double doors and one would expect to see St. Peter standing there as the sun reflecting the outfield grass blinded you in a very cinematic fashion. It’s an experience you will never forget, especially if you’re a youngster.
Then I heard about a thing called little league. Now they have T-ball for the little ones so they don’t get a boo boo on their hands.I saved up 7 books of “Blue Chip” stamps and got my first Spalding Baseball glove. Somehow, (a situation that was out of my hands) my musical performing fell off the face of the earth. Baseball, the Theatre and a crappy inexpensive apartment with a black and white television was where I spent most of my life.
I also happened to live next door to Congressman John J. McFall. He was a Democrat in the House of Representatives. He let me work in his campaign office when I was 12 years old and I hoped he would let me meet Robert Kennedy. June of that summer, a Jordanian named Sirhan Sirhan would end that dream. In 1972 I was an actual team leader for the McGovern campaign. (I was a good useful Idiot) Then in 1982 I met Ronald Reagan on Sutter Street in San Francisco.
So from 1968 until now, I’ve been a Political activist. I was a democrat until 1979. That’s when I saw what a mess Carter had gotten the country into, and I also started paying Taxes. I can’t say that I am passionate about politics, but like Charles Krauthammer recently said to Bret Baier, and something I’ve been telling those who don’t know anything about politics: “It doesn’t matter if you like or dislike politics, it’s like air. It affects you whether or not you like it”. Some of us who know the nuances of politics realize how damn dangerous those elected can be. Just ask a Jew who was in Warsaw, Poland in 1940. Hell; ask a German national who was forced to be a Nazi in 1933 to 1945. Ask a Chinese nationalist who refused to join the Communist party in the 50s. (If you can find one alive) Ask someone who lost a relative in the Russian revolution how important politics is.
Is Politics more important than your Dreams?
That’s a question I would love to ask Charles Krauthammer. My true passion is music. I have a flame in my soul that transforms me when you put a guitar in my hand. I even played on international TV in 2010.
I (like Charles) love baseball and I know the “Inside Baseball” moves as well as most MLB managers. I think I could even be a general manager. (The guy who hires players) I’ve even played American Legion ball in a minor league baseball stadium. I think a lot of men who needed an escape from reality have used baseball or sports in general to pass the hours and days and eventually a lifetime.
When it comes down to what truly matters, what good is your favorite team if Obama outlaws sports? What good is music if your lyrics are censored like in Russia or China? The older we get, the more you lose your fast hands. The old we get, the more immature the players seem.
Yet the older we get, the more lethal our politicians become.
We are here for four primary reasons. We need to experience love. We need to learn, not just what you’re taught in school but we need to grow spiritually. We need to live. You will define what “living” means. And finally we will leave a legacy. When we die, all we take with us are our memories (Lady and the Tramp) one memory will be how we left our country for our children or the next generation. Up until Obama, we’ve always had generations that had it better than their parents. I’m afraid all of those who said: “I’m not interested in politics” have become useful Idiots to the regime that is destroying the future of this country.
“We are just five days away from the fundamental transformation of the United States”. Barack Obama
“The proletariat is the undertaker of Capitalism“. ~ Nikita Khrushchev, August 24th 1963 address to the west in Yugoslavia:
The take down of the United States of America would not be the same as September 1939 in Poland. There are 3 major ways you can take over a country. Let’s (for the sake of example) use Canada. Let’s say Obama wanted to invade our friendly neighbors to the north. A conventional attack would probably accomplish it in a relatively short period of time. (Months)?
We could use conventional warfare. Flood the zone with drones then occupy. This would not be very hard.
We could threaten to annihilate the population of Canada and broker a take over like Hitler in Austria/the Sudetenland.
We could Hit their defense depots with strategic nuclear arms, then occupy. But the radiation would make the productive parts of the country uninhabitable and the fall out would contaminate our country.
Or, we could run a charismatic candidate in the Canadian elections that would bring Canada to its’ knees financially and it would have to seek a deal with the U.S. to protect its’ interests from Russia and China. This would be conquering Canada from within. This is what is happening under the guise as the “Fundamental Transformation of the United States of America”. The only thing protecting us is not the constitution per se, but the conditions the constitution has provided us. The second Amendment. And hopefully, the military would not turn on its’ own citizens. Why do you think this administration and every Democrat wants to get rid of the individual’s guns?
A Communist Amerika
Obama and his communist father’s dreams can not be accomplished by the first 4 methods. I doubt the military would enforce a non-constitutional confiscation of weapons from law abiding citizens. (Nation wide) So to set up a scenario where this can be somewhat accomplished, he needs “civil unrest”. Ever since this Manchurian has been in the white house, he’s constantly been poking “Whitey” in the eye. During the government shut down, he invites immigrants to protest and shit on the D.C. Mall while spending more money to keep true heroes of WWII from visiting their monument which many of their buddies died for. We can easily see who’s side Obama is on.
Poka Poka Poka…….
He nominates an attorney who got a cop killer off of death row to work in the D.O.J. when there are thousands of qualified “clean” attorneys to select from. He picks a major campaign supporter to investigate campaign corruption. He blatantly lies to America about the death of our Ambassador in Benghazi. In doing so, he runs the U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice out on a Sunday morning to do five talk shows to spread the lie, then promotes her to National Security Advisor.
After General Petraeus resigns, he nominates two Doves with hardly a spec of military experience to be secretary of defense. Leon Panetta, who was known for his achievements in agriculture and civil rights was a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army after two years of service and the current Yayhoo Chuck Hagel was a Sergeant in the Army who also spent two years on active duty. In the meantime we have brilliant Generals and Admirals who graduated from West Point and Annapolis doing nothing.
Poka Poka Poka…….
He cuts back on the military budget so far that we have more Admirals than we have Navy Ships. He has made us vulnerable to a Chinese/Russian attack. Poka Poka Poka…….
We’ve seen blatant racism in the oval office starting on the first day when our less than dignified Attorney General dropped charges of voter intimidation against members of the Black Panther party for Voter Intimidation. (Which had been filed under the Bush Administration).
This would be the same attorney that negotiated the pardon of the egregious felon Mark Rich by former President Bill Clinton who was serving time for 65 counts of Tax evasion and Ponzi schemes. This is the same Attorney general that was given executive privilege when asked to testify in front of congress for his role in the fast and furious gun running scheme that sent thousands of weapons to the drug cartels in Mexico which resulted in the death of border patrol officer Brian Terry.
Again Poka Poka Poka…….
He is doing every thing he can think of to incite civil unrest in our nation.
This would give him the probable cause he would need to turn the national guard on the American public. With the Reds fighting the Blues, rule of law would be an after thought. This would make the U.S. truly vulnerable to a Communist attack, thus fulfilling Khrushchev’s prophecy and Obama’s father’s dream. He’s got three more years to accomplish it. His administration is one you would find in a banana republic and he’s shown that he’s not afraid to use executive orders.
If there is an uncivil war in our country; let’s hope and pray that the last man standing is a constitutional patriot.
It’s a Morbid Joke in the medical profession. When you’re struggling to stop a vessel from bleeding, an older much more experienced doctor will say to the young resident: “All Bleeding Stops Eventually”. Translated, what he means is, if you can’t stop the bleeding; It will stop on it’s own when there is no more blood left. That’s what this month’s unemployment report reflects.
The Yayhoos in the White house have been calling the “Unemployment benefits” report the “Unemployed”. The problem is, they assume you’ve found a job just because your benefits ran out. Isn’t it interesting how the unemployed rate drops dramatically the same month the “Emergency unemployment extensions” expired? This would be like the patient losing all of it’s blood. The good news Dr. Obama would says is: “The bleeding stopped”! The bad news is, the patient is dead.
The Jobs created in December (Last month) was an anemic 73,000 (And that would include Holiday temporary hires) in December of 2013 which was the lowest since 2011. How could so many more people find jobs that were not created? Of course once congress extends the unemployment benefits to 1.3 Million unemployed the unemployment rate will jump up to 7 plus. This is how crazy Obama’s employment math is.
Don’t be surprised to see him touting how unemployment is dropping. Like I said, all bleeding stops eventually.
In 1991, a likable conservative “TEXAS” businessman with a bad haircut named Ross Perot captured the attention of many conservatives. In doing so he split the Republican vote robbing the TEXAS incumbent President George H.W. Bush and allowing Bill Clinton to scamper like a cockroach into the White house with a “Minority percentage” vote(less the 50%). Clinton began his reign of liberalism like Barack Obama. But thanks to the 104th 105th and 106th congress which held majorities in the Senate and the house, Clinton was forced to “Triangulate” to the center. This actually saved a presidency scandalized by the Monica Lewinski, oral sex impeachment, white water and the mysterious death of Vince Foster.(Clinton’s Deputy Whitehouse Counsel)
William Jefferson Clinton
I’ve always felt that Perot used his money to keep Bush from being re-elected. I have often thought that he had help from the Dems who had just suffered 12 years of republicans in the White house. Perot used old fashion teaching tools like Pie charts and a chalk board to reach voters in a very Bourgeois fashion. He resonated with his followers much like Talk show host Glenn Beck did, in a very non-condescending style.
Governor Chris Christie
The question that arises today is, Who would a third party candidate steal votes from? If Ross Perot was pro Marijuana deregulation, would G.H.W. Bush have won? Who do the Republicans have that could run and “Perot”(verb) Hillary? I think without a doubt, Rand Paul has more appeal to Democrats while still having a basic core respect for the Constitution. Can conservatives live with a true libertarian in the Whitehouse? Does Rand Paul have the Romney talent to get us out of the gutter Obama is throwing the U.S. into? It’s obvious both Rand Paul and Chris Christie are the front runners at this time. I believe that Christie would split the GOP if he ran either as a third party or as a moderate, which leaves us with the Younger Paul. If Paul ran as a libertarian, I think 30% of the Dems would vote for him thus dividing the Dem vote. I also think unfortunately that 30% of the Republicans would vote for him. You do the math. Then ask yourself this: “What if Hillary doesn’t Run”?
After nine years at BlogSpot.com which was conquered by Google, I was forced to WordPress.com because some coward or who knows, perhaps Google trashed my website. Let’s hope we have better luck at the new site of Ace’s Café Americain. Here’s to the launch of Ace’s Café Americain.com
