Paul Robeson who admired Joe Stalin, who sent one of Robeson’s friends off to the Gulags. Another entertainer who should have stuck to his singing and acting.
Stalinists lie. Always
From wikipedia:
Robeson traveled to Moscow in June, and tried to find Itzik Feffer. He let Soviet authorities know that he wanted to see him.[209] Reluctant to lose Robeson as a propagandist for the Soviet Union,[210] the Soviets brought Feffer from prison to him. Feffer told him that Mikhoels had been murdered, and he would be summarily executed.[211] To protect the Soviet Union’s reputation,[212] and to keep the right wing of the United States from gaining the moral high ground, Robeson denied that any persecution existed in the Soviet Union,[213] and kept the meeting secret for the rest of his life, except from his son.[212]
Paul Robeson was a secret member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) as well as being a KGB operating asset, esp. in their “disinformation/misinformation” programs. He did this along with longtime identified CPUSA and Australian CP member Harry Bridges of the ILWU (International
Longshoremen and Workers Union, still red today).
Robeson and Bridges had a major role in getting Frank Marshall Davis (of Obama family friendship fame) to go to Hawaii to write pro-communist columns for the Red controlled Honolulu Record.
A lot of this is documented in:
* HCUA hearings, re “Testimony of Manning Johnson”:
- “HCUA, 7/14/49, Hearings Regarding Communist infiltration of minority groups, Pt II”, d. 497 - 521
- HCUA, Investigation of Communist Activities within the New York City Area, part 7, based on the testimony of Manning Johnson, 7/08/53
HCUA hearings re Hawaii, has occasional mention of Frank Marshall Davis:
* “Hearings regarding Communist activities in the territory of Hawaii, Part I, II, II, IV, dates ranging from April 10, 1950 - July 6, 1951, HCUA and SISS below:
* “Scope of Soviet activity in the United States” series, Paarts 40-41 A/III, 1956, Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, Sen. Judiciary Committee
* Prof. Paul Kengor, book on Frank Marshall Davis (and Obama). Don’t have my copy available.
