In hearings before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), Whittaker Chambers accuses former State Department official Alger Hiss of being a communist and a spy for the Soviet Union. The accusation set into motion a series of events that eventually resulted in the trial and conviction of Hiss for perjury.
--SNIP-- Hiss filed a slander suit. During the course of that trial, Chambers produced microfilmed copies of classified State Department documents from the 1930s, which he had hidden in hollowed-out pumpkins on his farm. The Pumpkin Papers were used as evidence to support his claim that Hiss had passed the papers to him for delivery to the Soviets.

Chambers was a brave man.
Alger Hiss was also President of the Carnegie Foundation.
The Reece Commission in 1953/54 on Large Tax Exempt Foundations found that the goals of these two foundations was to keep America constantly at war and to change education. The long-term goal was to create a collectivist society that could one day be merged with Russia (one-world government, Russia just being the other Superpower of the day.)
Here is an interview with Norman Dodd (lead investigator of the majority for Carroll Reece) and G Edward Griffin (Creature from Jeckyl Island.)

One of the best books I've ever read.
“One of the best books I’ve ever read. “
Ditto !

Was it ever actually ILLEGAL to be a Communist? If not, why not? If so, when did it not become illegal?
I don’t think he was actually a communist. He was a globalist, part of the Anglo-American Establishment Carroll Quigley (Bill Clinton’s mentor and professor at Georgetown) talked about in Tragedy and Hope.
Their goal is to overthrow the United States from within, slowly. So yes, that is a conspiracy of sedition.
[ Chambers beleived in Communism until he heard SCREAMS! ]
Communism is nothing more than feudalism sold to the serfs by making them think you are doing them a favor...
I wish one of ours would make his story a film.
Same here.
Although the Alien Registration Act (aka the Smith Act) of 1940, the Internal Security Act of 1950 and the Communist Control Act of 1954 placed restrictions on the Communist Party, it was never outlawed.
Chambers was an American hero
Alger Hiss worked for the GRU (Main Intelligence Administration), the Soviet Union military intelligence agency.
Their goal is to overthrow the United States from within, slowly.....Worked,didn’t it?
Exactly. And how eagerly they hail their neo-feudalistic masters.
Hiss was a communist spy. A book that completely nails Hiss is “Perjury - The Hiss-Chambers Case”. The author set out to prove Hiss innocent. As he researched the book, the evidence mounted up against Hiss and the author ended up proving him guilty beyond any reasonable doubt. There is also evidence revealed later on from Soviet intelligence material that confirms his guilt.
Way back when I first read Witness, I emailed Robert Novak telling him how I revered the book. He wrote back telling me I was now a member of the club that revered Witness.
. . . and the replacement of God with man.
