The worst mistake of our time was not having Nuremberg-style trials for the Communists following the collapse of the Soviet empire. Instead, the communists have been given a free pass to continue their brazen criminality in the light of day among the free people of the world. Sad.
Does anybody else wonder why we still support the UN?
It tries to undermine the Constitution of the USA and
would love to cripple our Constitutional Republic.
In over 60 years the only politicians who tried to get
the USA out of the UN were Goldwater and President
Ronald Reagan who did kick UNESCO out.
16 out of 17 of the AMERICANS that were involved
in creating the UN were later identified, in sworn
testimony, as secret communist agents.
The first Secretary General was the AMERICAN Alger Hiss.
Alger Hiss served time in prison pursuant to his
involvement in a Communist spy ring.
Many of the other AMERICANS that were involved in
creating the UN fled the country, to avoid prosecution.
The ONE AMERICAN, that was involved in creating the UN
and was NOT later identified, in sworn testimony, as a
secret communist agent, was Dean Acheson.
Dean Achesons law firm was the legal representative of
the Soviet Union, in US courts.
If the AMERICANS that were involved in creating the UN
were Communists, what do you think we got from the rest
of the world?
All the communists have to do is get Obama to issue an “executive order” declaring Hiss innocent of all the allegations against him, and the topic will be “settled law” for the next century. People want to believe Hiss innocent.
The writer of the NYT piece seems sympathetic towards Hiss and snippy towards “right-wing revisionist history” which tends to be critical of the leftist intellectuals who liked communism and Stalin’s USSR. Which is about what you’d expect from a NYT piece on this subject.
in the opinion of a significant proportion of the public, for all of the American-born subverters-from-within who helped the Soviet Union to become the most prominent, indeed the only, counterweight to the power of the United States in the postwar world.
Clearly the author feels that the Soviet Union did the world a favor by standing up to the United States. Some writers are so far left that they don't recognize how kooky they sound. Anyone with a clear view of history would recognize that the United States was the major power in the world that kept the Soviet Union from dominating the rest of the world.
Ms Coulter has had this right; the NYT will not stop trying to massage this whole story. They had to get this latest entry in,,,,, before their own end.
Obviously sympathetic to Hiss and other Communists.
My “48 Liberal Lies About American History” will be released as a paperback in Sept. and we added a 49th lie-—”Alger Hiss was Innocent.”
No historian or anyone seriously interested in history is going to take the musings of this well-connected leftist journalist seriously. Allen Weinstein’s _Perjury_ and _The Haunted Wood_ closed the book on Hiss years ago. But you’ve got to admire the tenacity of the Left. They just won’t let this go.
Looking forward to the Hiss chapter in Larry’s book.
It tells you all you need to know about the Left that, when it turns out Sacco & Vanzetti, the Rosenbergs, Hiss, etc. were guilty as charged, IT DOESN’T MATTER. Leftists have always been great explainers, ever since the working class failed to deliver as promised by Uncle Karl.
The title should read: Alger Hiss and Revisionist History. Remember, for Democrats and their minions in the teaching profession the US needlessly exploded two atomic bombs, started the war in Korea, was responsible for the Cold War, forced the Soviets to build the Berlin Wall, and forced the Soviets to invade Afghanistan. And, of course, the person whose policies brought the Cold War to an end was Mikhail Gorbachov. Our indigenous America-haters are now numbered in the tens of millions thanks to revisionist historians.
As bad as Alger Hiss was, Harry Dexter White was far more dangerous.
