The Verona Project proved that McCarthy was 100% correct. It also strongly suggested that Oppenheimer spied for the Soviets via Klaus Fuchs.
Witness by (Turned Soviet spy) Whittaker Chambers is one of the best books ever written.
William F. Buckley tried to get Whittaker to start National Review magazine with him. Whitter declined saying that his history was to much of a liability.
99% of Americans today have no idea what I was just talking about. Sad.
You and me are much of the same mind, blam.
I think that what was done to McCarthy (and Chambers too) was shameful. He should be remembered as an American and Patriot who gave his life and reputation for his country.
I was one of those people who, for most of my life, just accepted what I was taught and told about McCarthy. Why would they all lie to me?
Boy, it was a real eyeopener for me when I scratched the surface on this subject. Best book I ever read on the subject, by far, was “Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies”.
It was so good and valuable that not only did I get a hardcover, audio, and Kindle version, but resolved to write the author, M. Stanton Evans, a letter of gratitude for writing it, but he passed on before I got around to it.
As for “Witness”, you can see from my Freep Page how I feel about him...:)
His grandson sent me a few polite “cease and desist” emails because I was displaying a copy of Chambers’ letter to his children. He was very decent and I tried, but it was back in the day where the workings of hosting a page were still somewhat mysterious to me, and after I deleted it, it kept reappearing...
Made me feel somewhat like a dunce...:)
