Scary times

I am a World War II pilot, 90 years old and have seen plenty of things to scare me, but what is going on in our government?

Back in 1955, a pamphlet was sent to all U.S. Air Force reserve units. In it was described to what lengths the smart commies will go and get control of a country. Even then, the people in the air force were concerned with our government trends.

Wow! The way things are going, the pattern is here and now. We have top men and women leading us down the garden path to God knows what!

The first thing to learn was there is little difference between socialization, nationalization and communization. This is the way they work: The big banks get under government control (done already); large industries nationalized (Wall Street on the way); small business out (being taxed out now); money is going to be useless (the dollar is shrinking); private banks put out of business (many already); checks and securities abolished; the farmers will be collectivized (no more profits); the general population will be under government control with socialized medicine; religion will be put down and discouraged (it's being done already).

The worse thing that will happen! You want to buy a car? You must have government permission and buy what they say!

We are close to that today! I'm scared! God help us.
