Thanks for posting this. Just today I was reading the book GODS AND MONSTERS by Peter Bart, a movie critic with a socialist bent, and was shaking my head about his comments in a piece on ON THE WATERFRONT. Whatever my feelings about HUAC, it's always made me laugh that the Hollywood crowd couldn't forgive Elia Kazan for testifying (even with permission from some of those he named) against the most murderous regime of our time, yet they have no problem giving an Oscar to the child-rapist Roman Polanski.

That pretty much tells me all I need to know about Hollywood "Patriots".

Regarding the revelations of former Soviet officials re: American agents, I believe Vlady Posner has confirmed much of this as well.

HCUAA, not HUAC.

It took Pete Seeger 40+ years to admit that Stalin was a murderer.

Pete and Woody protested going to war against Nazi Germany until Hitler betrayed their beloved Joseph Stalin. “This machine kills fascists” when a murderous Commie says its okay to, but NOT before.

Actually, it's HUAC or HCUA. I've never seen it referred to as HCUAA. I'll use my preferred acronym, thanks.

Record time for a socialist.

Billy Bragg is still railing about Fascists, but I've never once seen him complain about communists. I guess on kind of murderous regime is bad, the other not so much.

Jan Mickelson morning host on WHO Des Moines spent an hour on Monday with M. Stanton Evans author of Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies

Ann Coulter in her Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism intro calls Evans the greatest living authority on McCarthy.

The Venona decrypts make it clear McCarthy was right: the Roosevelt and Truman Administrations were riddled with Reds.

More recently, the Clinton Janus reached out to the point man for the Peoples Republic of China at Hogan & Hartson, Sandra Day-O Berger, who carries pilfered documents from the National Archives in his Fruit of the Looms.

Brent Bozell points out in Whitewash that Hillary was Chairman of the Board of a clearing house for Communist front groups in the eighties, keeping consistency with her infatuation with Saul Alinsky and internship under Communist Robert Treuhaft.

Well, as Robert Kennedy, Jr., croaked, "See you on the barricades."

Everybody sneered at the John Birch Society for decades. But as it turns out not only were they 100% correct about communist infiltrators, but they've been spot on about the threat posed by the globalists and the United Nations. They were onto the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Bilderbergers waaaay before anybody else. They remain the watchdog of freedom with even recent information battles concerning the globalist incursions on the Law of the Sea Treaty.

House Un-American Activities Committee Testimony
Ronald Reagan
October 23, 1947

STRIPLING: Mr. Reagan, are you a member of any guild?

REAGAN: Yes, sir, the Screen Actors Guild.
.
.
.
REAGAN: I was called several weeks ago. There happened to be a financial drive on to raise money to build a badly needed hospital called the All Nations Hospital. I think the purpose of the building is so obvious by the title that it has the support of most of the people of Los Angeles. Certainly of most of the doctors. Some time ago I was called to the telephone. A woman introduced herself by name. I didn’t make any particular note of her name, and I couldn’t give it now. She told me that there would be a recital held at which Paul Robeson would sing, and she said that all the money for the tickets would go to the hospital, and asked if she could use my name as one of the sponsors. I hesitated
for a moment, because I don’t think that Mr. Robeson’s and my political views coincide at all; and then I thought I was being a little stupid because, I thought, here is an occasion where Mr. Robeson is perhaps appearing as an artist, and certainly the object, raising money, is above any political consideration: it is a hospital supported by everyone. I have contributed money myself. So I felt a little bit as if I had been stuffy for a minute, and I said, “Certainly, you can use my name.” I left town for a couple of weeks and, when I returned, I was handed a newspaper story that said that this recital was held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles under the auspices of the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee. The principal speaker was Emil Lustig, Robert Burman took up a collection, and the remnants of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade were paraded on the platform. I did not, in the newspaper story, see one word about the hospital. I called the newspaper and said I am not accustomed to writing to editors but would like to
explain my position, and he laughed and said, “You needn’t bother; you are about the 50th person who had also been listed as sponsors of that affair.”

STRIPLING: Would you say from your observation that that is typical of the tactics of the communists, to solicit and use the names of prominent people to either raise money or gain support?

REAGAN: I think it is in keeping with their tactics, yes sir

STRIPLING: Do you think there is anything democratic about those tactics?

REAGAN: I do not, sir

I am one of the small group here on FR that regularily expresses our disgust for the UN and the globalists. I do agree with your post much more fully than these few words reveal.

Yeah, except that the Treason clause in the Constitution is as follows:
Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason ...

The USSR was The Evil Empire, but it was our ALLY in War. Thus the Rosenbergs were NOT guilty of treason as the Constitution clearly spells it out.

Now Jane Fonda, John Kerry -- they WERE traitors under the Constitution's definition.

“Thus, the Rosenbergs were NOT guilty of treason ...”

The Rosenbergs were not charged with treason. They were charged with, and found guilty of, espionage.
