Thank Ronald Reagan - The Will to Fell

The willing Socialist's Loving Media and Obama Shills have been working hard to create a revisionists history to exclude our last great President's primary roll in the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviets. 

Since the end of WWII, there had been a divided Berlin and Germany until 1989. The Soviets under Stalin  put up a transportation wall around Berlin in 1948 to try forcing totalitarian control over the City. That Blockade was broken by the Allies' Berlin Airlift to fly in basic necessities for life. Stalin had to relent. Later, in 1961, Khrushchev constantly tested the inexperience of Kennedy and had the Berlin Wall built to stave off the flow of East Germans to the West.  m/r

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. It did not fall, of course. It was felled. It was felled by ordinary East German men and women who decided they were not willing to spend the rest of their lives in a large prison pretending to be a nation. On the other side of the wall - the free side - far too many westerners were indifferent to the suffering of the east. As I put it in my new book:

The presidents and prime ministers of the free world had decided that the unfree world was not a prison ruled by a murderous ideology that had to be defeated but merely an alternative lifestyle that had to be accommodated. Under cover of "détente", the Soviets gobbled up more and more real estate across the planet, from Ethiopia to Grenada. Nonetheless, it wasn't just the usual suspects who subscribed to this feeble evasion – Helmut Schmidt, Pierre Trudeau, François Mitterand – but most of the so-called "conservatives", too – Ted Heath, Giscard d'Estaing, Gerald Ford.

Consider one of the men present at today's celebrations: Gerhard Schröder, chancellor of a reunited Germany until his defeat by Angela Merkel in 2005 and now performing a little light "consulting" for Rothschild and one or two others. What was Herr Schröder doing back in the Eighties? Well, he was writing to Egon Krenz, deputy to East Germany's head gaoler Erich Honecker and the man who very briefly succeeded him 25 years ago. Here's Schröder schmoozing Krenz:

I will certainly need the endurance you have wished me in this busy election year. But you will certainly also need great strength and good health for your People's Chamber election.

The only difference being that, on one side of the wall, the election result was not in doubt. In other words, Schröder and a big chunk of the west's political class were part of the problem.When a free man enjoying the blessings of a free society promotes an equivalence between real democracy and a sham, he's colluding in the great lie being perpetrated by the prison state.

There were three key figures who stood against the détente fetishists, and in large part against the disposition of western electorates. Their names were Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II - all heroes in Eastern Europe to this day, yet, as Richard Fernandez notes, all absent from the coverage of today's observances. The A-list guest is Mikhail Gorbachev, whose plan was to preserve Soviet Communism by putting a cosmetic gloss on it. Today, the old passivity has returned: The Wall "fell". …
