Radio Free Europe, what is it?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3120528

I read this post, and I thought to myself "Radio Free Europe, where have I heard that before?"

So I did a little research on Yahoo Search.

"Frank Shakespeare - Council for National Policy Membership Roster (1988). Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. Director, U.S. Information Agency director; Director of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty. During the Reagan administration he served as Ambassador to Portugal from 1985 to 1987, and then as Ambassador to the Vatican; Chairman, The Heritage Foundation; has served in executive positions in the communications industry for more than 30 years; former president, CBS Television Services.

Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe were fronts for the Nazi/Knights of Malta network that had been established by Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler's espionage officer against Russia, and funded by the CIA. Knight of Malta, James Buckley, was head of U.S. propaganda against Eastern Europe at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty during the Reagan Administration. J. Peter Grace, head of SMOM in the U.S. was associated with Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe prior to 1971. Under the supervision of Grace and other prominent figures, Radio Liberty functioned as a front for ex-Nazis:

"In 1950, the American Committee for Liberation from Bolshevism was created. The trustees included J. Peter Grace, Charles Edison, William Henry Chamberlain, H.J. Heinz II, Isaac Don Levine, and Eugene Lyons. The Committee (now known as Radio Liberty), under the guiding hand of the CIA's Frank Wisner, funded numerous emigre "research institutes'' which, according to John Loftus , were "little more than front groups for ex-Nazi intelligence officers.'' "

This is little known information, J. Peter Grace owned a company in which Nazis found sanctuary, guess who had one of his first jobs there?

Don't know?

It was Pat Robertson, one of Bush's biggest supporters.

Paul Weyrich has also defended Radio Free Europe saying "The BBG has ordered Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's Radio Free Iraq to go dark on September 30, even though the country's first elections are still three months off. Thus, as Heil notes, our government's "last really substantive radio voice in Arabic to the Arab world" would cease."

Let's take this thing right up to the Elitists and the true Head of the Republican Party.

1. They had a glorious role in fomenting the Hungarian revolution...
of 1956. They were and are nothing but a bunch of lying bastards, and, in my opinion, murderers. (sarcasm off for the term glorious)

Are you sure you got that off of a reputable website?

4. There seems to be a consensus. Only Religious whack job sites...
cover some of the items in my fields of interest, such as the CNP.

Things that include the 'Knights of Malta', 'Masons', etc. also usually lose my trust. But, I thought this might be reputable as it was a list of CNP members and seemed pretty accurate to me.
