Will have to check it out. I’m reading “Disinformation” at the moment. About half way through. It’s digging into Oswald and the KGB right now.

Everyone should read Witness, by Whittaker Chambers. Everyone. This is one of the most important books and beautifully written books of the 20th century. An eye-opening, haunting memoir. A 50th Anniversary edition is available in book, audiocassette and Kindle editions. Worth every cent. This is a gift you should consider giving to all who care about really understanding the history of the past 90 years.

Good God. I suppose there are some Stalinists out there who still cling to the innocence of Alger Hiss, and they also believe the Rosenbergs were innocent too.

Sad. There are a lot of deluded people out there. And the media has done everything within its power to delude them and keep them deluded.

When I see the NYT unequivocally state that Alger Hiss was a Soviet spy as were the Rosenbergs, and the Joe McCarthy and Whittaker Chambers were RIGHT, then I will think about considering the possibility all liberals aren’t either mentally ill or total ignorant sheep.

Until that day, I am sticking with it, because it is true. See my Freep Page.

Is this based on the Venona Papers?

I wonder how many at FR have read Whitaker Chamber’s ‘Witness’, one of the great books from the cold war?

I suppose that the ‘long, twilight struggle’ is now forgotten except by ‘Boomers who grew up with it.

For people wondering how long libs have controlled the dialogue and dominated the political talk, they were just as huge an influence back in those days as they are now. All I heard and read about Joe McCarthy when I was growing up in the fifties and sixties was that he was some kind of devil and the worst ogre to ever inhabit a senate seat. NOBODY!!! ever said one kind word about him. McCarthy, the evil spawn of satan, was responsible for thousands of innocent people to lose their jobs and establish "a climate of fear" (a phrase I heard countless times in those days) over the country.

Not one journalist mentioned that McCarthy was generally right, and there were in fact many commies in the government. That's how huge the influence lib "journalists" had even in those days. The Hollywood Ten (who are linked with McCarthy...even though he had nothing to do with them) are revered as saints even though they were mostly commie pigs under orders from Russia.
