Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Eye-Witness to History: Kruschev in America

 Here is Walter Cronkite from 2004 talking about Nikita Kurschev's rule in Soviet Russia.   This National Public Radio report documents Krushchev's rise to power, his dictatorial rule, his visit to the United States in 1959, and his ultimate replacement in 1964.

I present this as a matter of history for our younger readers and for those older who may have forgotten just what a looming figure he was in those years of the Cold War decades ago.


 Lessons for today are up to the listener:
