re: forensic audit of Marshall
On a related note, have you ever looked at From Major Jordan’s Diaries?

The amount of war material we gave the Soviets was insane. And there are those who poo-poo Jordan. Much like there are those who poo-pooed McCarthy . . .
And sending all that stuff to the Soviets had to be approved from the highest levels of the military and government. Say, Hopkins and Marshall.
FreedomPoster, I cannot thank you enough for providing me with that link to the Major Jordan’s Diaries-I saw it referenced some years ago, and spent considerable time trying to find it. I was unable to do so.
I looked through my associated library network of about 80 libraries, but could not find it and gave up! (I also looked online, but could not find it for sale anywhere, either!
I am going to do an audiobook on this if it seems worthy after I read the PDF...I was so impressed by Major Jordan’s observations.
I had heard of the diaries but never read them.
Good post.
The enemies of McCarthy were our enemies.
The biggest challenge is the publication date. 1952.
The only reason we were able to create McCarthy’s book successfully is that we were able to definitively validate that the book is already in the public domain.
In other words, we had permission for McCarthy’s book. We do not as of this moment have permission for Major Jordan’s Diaries. I like the idea overall so that it is said.
Any recording done of these should therefore be kept private or otherwise accept the legal danger. Unfortunately. It’s just “it is what it is”. Copyright holders are often known for their excesses when going after copyright violators - they want to make examples out of you and me and us to protect what is theirs.
It would be a risk.
Just thought I would add this: Come this January(2 months from now) all books published during the year 1930 enter the public domain.
That means Major Jordan’s Diaries(which only has 22 years of protection left on it) enters the public domain in 2048, around the same time Road to Serfdom becomes public domain.(In the U.S. anyways)
If you guys have enough patience, I’ll propose it as a group project at that time. (listen to me! Lol) Considering all the facts on the table that’s the best that can be done, legally.
