In 1961 W.E.B. DuBois joined the Communist Party USA;

"I was early convinced that socialism was an excellent way of life, but I thought it might be reached by various methods Today I have reached a firm conclusion: Capitalism can not reform itself; it is doomed to self-destruction. No universal selfishness can bring social good to all. In the end communism will triumph. I want to help bring that day."

PAUL ROBESON

In 1950, after a 1949 public statement in which he said that African Americans would not fight in “an imperialist war,” his passport was revoked.

Robeson and W.E.B. DuBois were both Communist Party USA members. On April 9th, 1998 at Chicago's South Shore Cultural Center, Vernon Jarrett hosted a Paul Robeson Citywide Centennial Celebration event, with his old comrade and Party sympathiser Margaret Burroughs and former Communist Party USA members Studs Terkel and his old friend Oscar Brown, Jr.

FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS

In 1948, Davis and his wife moved to Hawaii. According to Davis's autobiography, he was recommended by secret Communist Party USA members Paul Robeson and Harry Bridges of the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union. Bridges, who Davis met at the Abraham Lincoln School, recommended that he contact Koji Ariyoshi, editor of the Honolulu Record.[10] Robeson had been in Hawaii the previous year for a concert organized by the communist controlled ILWU.[1]

Ariyoshi was one of the leaders of the Communist Party USA in Hawaii. His newspaper was subsidized by Bridges' ILWU. In 1949, ILWU was expelled from the CIO because of its communist domination. The FBI files reveal that the first contact Davis made in Hawaii was not Ariyoshi but Jack Hall, the ILWU regional director, also an official of the Communist Party of Hawaii.

Although Elizabeth Bentley's autobiography Out of Bondage (New York: Devin Adair, 1951) was a bestseller in conservative circles, she lived in obscurity after the spy cases, holding a series of teaching jobs before dying of cancer in 1963.

About a decade ago, a couple of new biographies of her came out: Red Spy Queen: A Biography of Elizabeth Bentley (Chapel Hill, NC: The University of North Carolina Press, 2002) by Kathryn Olmstead and Clever Girl: Elizabeth Bentley, the Spy Who Ushered in the McCarthy Era (New York: Harper, 2003) by Lauren Kessler. I've read the Olmstead opus, but not the one by Lauren Kessler.

Glenn Beck has had Diana West on his show a number of times.
Beck has said he is in the book business and movie business as well,I can’t think of a better thriller that would shock this country out of its shoes than this story. It’s sort of like not having a movie made like Atlas Shrugged for Decades,a movie made with all the information revealed over the decades about the Soviet infiltration of our country and the resulting direction of our country to this day would be in my opinion would be fantastic.

Kindle edition of American Betrayal

Try now. I got a Kindle copy last week.
As one who likes history, this book is...mind-blowing! I'm old enough to have heard for decades the whispers, second-hand anecdotes, references to the FDR Communist infiltration. To the extent it was mentioned it was minimalized. This book sharpens and codifies, with 950+ footnotes, that previous time period.

West's blog is good, too.
