FWIW, if you want to look into other published works of Skousen, you’ll find some remarkably nutty stuff.
For instance, the 10 Tribes of Israel are still a discrete group and live under the ice in Antarctica. And the Saxons of England were really “Isaac’s sons” and therefore Jews. Which of course ties in with his Mormon beliefs. They find Jews in the oddest places.
He also believed Eisenhower was a concious agent of Communism.
IOW, the guy was a nut. Doesn’t mean he was wrong about Communism, of course, but I would certainly not consider anything he says enhanced in credibility by his saying it.
Figured you’d attack the man based on his religious beliefs and/or what liberals said about him.
I haven’t done much digging (and his mormon beliefs don’t hold credibility with me) but he was a witness within FDR’s government. And some on the left still want to deny any Soviet espionage within the State Department, Executive Branch, etc. even with KGB files opened to review.
I’ve seen a lot of socialist justice warrior attacks on the writings of dead white (American) males. Some of the observations still hold water.
