Nice. It would be cool to see how accurate this was.

Duranty was one of the all time great propagandists for Stalin, of all time. Only Bill Clinton has rivalled him as a liar....

Good communist = dead communist.

The subversion is deep. It has been decades since the Left has won the 'right' to subvert the West. They don't hardly hide it anymore. As we can see, in the UK, they are running the show, even being asked to write cover notes to Orwell's little list. We have stepped through the Looking Glass, and do indeed dwell in an Orwellian world.

And somewhere in the back of our minds, we wonder who's watching.

I printed this post for my friend. He didn't find any mistakes on Orwell's list, at least based on the info in this post. Mentioned that Driberg was a Soviet agent, also that at one point, Vanessa Redgrave had her own Communist Party (though a tiny one :-) ). I'd like to see the whole list.
