My mother saw some of the hearings on tv. She said that the media laughed at this funny looking, nutty, little fat man saying the evidence was hidden in a pumpkin.

Whitaker Chambers’ autobiography “Witness” is one of the TOP TEN books of the 20th Century and should be MUST reading for both high school and college curriculums.

I’m only through the first FOUR major chapters and I can make this recommendation.

Chambers is an excellent writer and his story is gripping and really helps better than any other stories to explain the mind of the person who transforms to a Communist but then leaves the movement.

I can’t wait to get to the Hiss trials.

It really needs a good movie about his life.

The TRUTH: Hiss was a communist and a spy.

Get over it libs. The Truth will set you free.

Chambers’ exact words were: “Hey, this guy’s a commie!”

To which Hiss -- who was much shorter than people remember -- replied: "Hey, kid, quiet. Where did a nice little boy like you learn such a bad word like that? Huh?"

The Venona Project nails Hiss's guilt.

Read this book, Venona for all the details.

The evidence that Hiss was “ALES” — code name for a long time deep cover GRU spy in the US State Dept. — is considered pretty conclusive by most qualified historians on the subject. About as conclusive as these things ever get.

Maybe he was a communist. All I’m saying is that his true allegiance was to the banking cabal or the globalists really running things.

I don’t see how they would let get to a high position in the State Dept AND the Carnegie Foundation without truly knowing WHO HE IS.

Col Fletcher Prouty called it the “Secret Team”. Carroll Quigley called it the “Anglo-American” establishment, they are the same thing.
