"The Venona Secrets" is a long and tedious book, but it sheds a bright light on all the infiltration of our government by commie spies. Indeed, McCarthy was 100% right.
Even in the 20s and 30s, the commies and fellow-travelers had a tight hold on much of the press in the US and worshipful articles about the old Soviet Union were commonplace.
There was an excellent article by Norman Berdichevsky on FR this week (Feb 13) about this very phenomena in the film industry: Hollywoods Intentional Ignorance of the Crimes of Communist and Muslim Regimes in the New English Review.
McCarthy WAS right. The Communists were all through out FDR’s cabinet. They knew every time FDR took a leak. The problem was that the press never told the American people so they think it is just a wackos that believe that stuff.
Fast forward to today, we have the same thing happening with Islamists. They are controlling the way we fight the war on terror and if anyone tries to out them they are labeled nut jobs and fired.
Evil is all around us and we had better wake the hell up.
