Sacco and Vanzetti: The truth finally becomes public
History News Network ^

Posted on 12/28/2005 9:06:32 AM PST by mcvey

Well, folks, after defending Sacco and Vanzettir for EIGHT decades, historians are finally beginning to admit that they were, in fact, guilty. Moreover, if you take a look at the comments, you will see that historians have known for three decades (at least) that their stories regarding Sacco-Vanzetti story were false. While this trial is always pictured as one where a WASP judge simply bullied two Italian immigrants to the electric chair, Upton Sinclair actually was afraid to release the truth because:

1.) He was afraid he would be killed by the anarchists (not the WASPy Judge;)

2. He was afraid he would lose sales overseas (stories about how thuggish and close-minded Americans are always sell well in thuggish and close-minded societies;)

3.) He still believed, despite the evidence, that someday, someplace thuggish, close-minded American Judges WOULD railroad somebody.

There is no end to the inanity among professional historians, but their continued gross dishonesty is ignored because few have the background to challenge them and few media outlets would carry such a change.

[By the way, the original story apparently came out of the LA Times.]

... the truth didn't serve his communist ideal.

Many historians seem to subscribe to the idea that it's prefectly acceptable to pick an event in the past and fictionalize your way to it.

The media and elite academics are hopelessly mired in fiction.

Bruno Hauptmann was NOT guilty.

He was railroaded by a judicial system and State which had grown virulently anti-German and would believe anything about a German-American.

Until her dying day, his widow tried to get the case revisited in an attempt to clear her husband's name. The fascistic People's Republic of New Jersey did everything they could to prevent this.

The Judge who sent an innocent man to his death was the father of New jersey State Supreme Court Wilentz, both of them products of the corrupt Middlesex County Democratic Political machine.

The younger Wilentz steadfastly refused to approve the execution of the most heinous mass-murderers in the State of New Jersey, some of whom still sit on death row there. Despite the fact that most New Jerseyians support the death sentence, despite the fact that his own party had a part in re0insituting it, Wilentz used his position to block any and all executions, a tradition followed to this very day in New Jersey.

I believe there was a reason for this - the reason being that Wilentz KNEW his father sent an innocent man to his death.

As for Sacco and Vanzetti, they deserved the chair as they murdered a man - another Italian American who was merely doing his job.

I think you got it wrong. Chelsea looks more like Webster Hubbell than Vince Foster. The bottom lip is a dead give away.

Nah, Chelsea looks too much like Webb Hubbell to be either Bill or Vince Foster's daughter.

What happened in Fort Marcy Park anyway? What were the romantic links between Vince Foster and Hillary Rodham? I guess we'll never know now.

There sure as hell were "professional" links between them.It was those links that caused Bernie Nussbaum to refuse to grant the DOJ access to Foster's office while it was being "cleansed" by Maggie Williams and others.

One of my favorite quotes from The Most Ethical administration In History was one from Deputy Attorney General Phillip Heymann after being told by Nussbaum that DOJ agents wouldn't be allowed into Foster's office:"Bernie,are you hiding something?"

It's amazing how little changes, and how themes repeat themselves throughout history:

1.) He was afraid he would be killed by the anarchists (not the WASPy Judge;) - Compare this with modern Liberals' fear of taking on Radical Islam, while attacking their own country..

2. He was afraid he would lose sales overseas (stories about how thuggish and close-minded Americans are always sell well in thuggish and close-minded societies;) - Hypocrisy, anyone?

3.) He still believed, despite the evidence, that someday, someplace thuggish, close-minded American Judges WOULD railroad somebody. - A/k/a = The "Fake but Accurate" defense.
