This is an exclusive interview between Brett M. Decker and author Allan Ryskind, whose father was a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and screenwriter famous for his Marx Brothers scripts and for leading the opposition to communism in Hollywood along with Ronald Reagan, Walt Disney and John Wayne.

The Communists showed Joe McCarthy who was boss. They still are.

Hard-core Communists in Hollywood...made a major effort to take over the movie industry and nearly succeeded.
What’s this “nearly” business?

This mentions Dalton Trumbo who was and if you actually look at what such films as ‘Johnny Got His Gun’ and ‘Executive Action’ infer about the United States remained a commie throughout his life. Trumbo made a career out of his being martyred for being an unrepentant Stalin stooge and it costing him in his profession. He should have been banned in any capacity from Hollywood productions. Take a careful look at the 1942 film ‘Saboteur’ and not how relentlessly Trumbo’s script pushes the evil meme of class warfare depicting all wealthy persons as Nazi agents or sympathizers. Trumbo and his enablers were traitors pure and simple .

Most lists I have seen include Ward Bond of Wagon Train in the list of those who stood up for the U.S. Ronald Reagan, as the president of the screen actors guild decided to carry a pistol during this time period. But the popular meme was that it was the liberals who were the victims.
To: TigerTown
So did the New York Times with Stalin.

I read Allan Ryskind’s book. It is a pity that HUAC did not allow Ayn Rand to testify about “The Best Years of Our Lives,” as that showed how Communists in Hollywood tried to brainwash people as opposed to the heavy handed, “Song of Russia” that Ayn Rand did testify about.

If you get a chance, read the paperback version of Trumbo’s “Johnny Got His Gun” that was published around 1970 to coincide with the film version. It includes his prefaces from the original edition (1940), a post-ww2 reprint, and the final 1970 one. It’s amazing to read the shifts in how this old liar presents his antiwar book. In sum, his view is that US soldiers who go to war and come back mutilated were fools in 1918, noble in 1945, and back to being fools in 1970.

Where they failed the liberalism worshipping Christ haters have succeeded in bringing down America anyhow
Marxism or progressivism or cultural transformation or hope and change....whatever our rot may be called has destroyed America as much as any commie loving 1930s Hollywood writer could have ever dreamed of in his most ambitious fantasies

What I have found amazing was that the very people Joe McCarthy warned us about and for a time relentlessly pursued are now the types of people in power.
We’re going to need a purge and a detox when Obama is done.

Hollywood traitors supported Hitler and Stalin . . . and now Barack the First. They cannot resist national socialists, soviet socialists, or today’s hip socialist.
