As a reminder, to paraphrase Uncle Joe: One death is truly terrible, one million deaths is but a statistic.
Remember, for a moment, Operation Keelhaul, the results from Yalta, ...
Operation Keelhaul, aptly named, is a black mark on the conscience of the West.
We should be ashamed of it, but most people don’t know about it. I rank it right up there with our flight from and abandonment of South Vietnam.
Alger Hiss was one of the two primary advisors (along with Edward R. Stettinius) to FDR at Yalta. This is critical, because FDR could barely function, and Stettinius was a simple political dummy. So Stettinius (as he was known to do in cases where he was in over his head) was depending on Hiss to provide him with information, so as a result, Hiss was pretty much pulling the strings for the US Government.
And it is a fact that Hiss was at that time, and had been for years, a Soviet agent.
Shameful.
