The Fall of the US

I heard the following story on Glen Beck awhile back and it brought shivers to me again.....Apparently back in the '50's ( yep back when I was born....) Ezra Taft Benson, then Secretary of Agriculture under Eisenhower reluctently met with Russian Prime Minister Nikita Krushchev, when this exchange took place:

Ezra Taft Benson at the behest of President Dwight Eisenhower met with Nikita Khrushchev. Following is the transcript: “I have personally witnessed the heart rendering results of the loss of freedom. I have talked face to face with a Godless Communist leader. It may surprise you to learn that I was host to Mr. Khrushchev for a half day when he visited the U.S. I’m not proud of it. I opposed his coming in and I still feel it was a mistake to welcome this atheistic murderer as a state visitor but according to President Eisenhower, Khrushchev had expressed the desire to learn something of American agriculture and after seeing Russian agriculture, I can understand why. “As we talked face to face, he indicated that my grandchildren would live under communism. After assuring him that I planned to do all in my power to assure that his and all other grandchildren would live under freedom, he arrogantly declared in substance, ‘You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright but we will keep feeding strong doses of socialism until you finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won’t have to fight you. We’ll so weaken your economy until you fall like over ripe fruit into our hands.’”

Scary ain't it?
