😍😍😍 McCarthy bae

edit-

I remember the first time I stickied a "McCarthy was right" post, a couple of years ago. There was a lot of backlash by misled people spouting all of the lies you commonly hear about that hero.

It's nice to see the change in sentiment around here.

Also also read Blacklisted From History, the go-to book about the truth about McCarthy. Warning, it's pretty dry, but you're guaranteed to learn something you didn't already know, however much you think you do. The parts about total black holes in history (Like certain newspaper days/articles surrounding McCarthy events "going missing" from microfilm libraries) alone is insane.

The book Blacklisted by history is completely sourced. I mean pages of sources. It tells you exactly how and why McCarthy was right, and how they black listed him. I mean seriously all one has to do today is look at Hollywood and the universities, and government to know he was right. Once you see it, then you understand why places like r/history and r/askhistorians have such a death grip on their subs.. They fear being exposed.

The Venona documents and other evidence later showed that "At least 349 citizens, immigrants, and permanent residents of the United States had a covert relationship with Soviet intelligence agencies, among them Harry White (assistant secretary of the treasury in FDR's administration and the Communists' highest-ranking asset) and State Department official Alger Hiss."

A good book on McCarthy himself is Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies by M. Stanton Evans. I found it a tad over-the-top in its defense of McCarthy, but mostly good work. TL;DR: McCarthy was mostly right, but went too far (e.g. accusing General George Marshall).

Here's some interesting background on Welch's famous "Have you no decency?" speech. Welch was defending an aide of his who McCarthy had accused of being a communist, but two weeks before, Welch had fired that same aide for... being a communist. So the speech was just faux outrage and theater.

> Almost like

Well, but they do.

> Sometimes I really think Joseph McCarthy was right.

He's been repeatedly proven correct. Someone in another thread posted a link to this book:

M. Stanton Evans showed that McCarthy was spot on, and he used Soviet archives as a key part of his proof.

After many decades and the end of the USSR the facts of the McCarthy era emerged. Documents became unclassified and spies spoke the truth.

Seems McCarthy was correct and to date this fact is not widely recognized. Read this book and then form new and valid conclusions:

It's hard to get people to pick up a book. Most of these geniuses don't even know HUAC and the Red Scare predate McCarthy.

McCarthy is infamous because the education system told you that. How much do you actually know about McCarthy? This is exactly my point, education has been coopted for so long you just believe McCarthy was wrong for no reason other than that's what you were told. https://www.amazon.com/Blacklisted-History-Senator-McCarthy-Americas/dp/1400081068

Should it be any surprise that a system co-opted by commies has attempted to brand a guy who went after commies as the bad guy?

here is a link to the declassified venona files directly from the NSA. here is a link to the Wikipedia article about it. From the article “Some of the decoded Soviet messages were not declassified by the United States and published until 1995.” Blacklisted By History was published in 2009. Now if that’s not enough sources for you I’m very certain google can accommodate the inquisitive mind who would like to truly learn more about the Venona files and Joe McCarthy.

u/madeupstatistician · 1 pointr/The_Donald

Actually, you've been lied to about Joseph McCarthy, it turns out he was very justified in looking for communists in the US Govt. Stefan Molyneux goes into it in great detail in a video of his. There's also a good book on the subject.

Hi HHH! I would like to educate you more - but I'm off to the beach now! (Sunny day in Bondi!)

From http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/Articles/The%20Enemy%20Within.html

We now know that many of those heralded as innocent victims of a McCarthyite witch hunt were in reality bona fide Soviet agents — some of them working in the White House, State Department, and OSS. Prominent among these were Alger Hiss, Duncan Lee, Maurice Halperin, Carl Marzani, Lauchlin Currie, and Harry Dexter White. (There were scores of others.) Many of them had been named first by former Communist spy Elizabeth Bentley.

And read the book:

Still waiting for the evidence of Spencer being a "self described Nazi".

​

>you know "commies bad" only happened after the cold war right

​

Incorrect you prion head birdbrain. The "alliance" with commies was a matter of circumstance, a deal with the devil, so to say, and the allies were planning to attack them as soon as they were done with Germany.

​

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Unthinkable

​

General Patton said, on record, that "we defeated the wrong enemy" after the war. This was a high profile general, who had said before the war "And when we get to Berlin, I am personally going to shoot that paper hanging son-of-a-bitch Hitler. Just like I'd shoot a snake!".

​

Among the general population of USA, there was a disdain for the commies, called pejoratively as Pinko (coined in 1925).

​

Laws like the Hatch Act of 1939, which was aimed against the Communists, and Public Law 135 (1941), which sanctioned the investigation of any federal worker suspected of being Communist and the firing of any Communist worker were passed at the height of the war.

​

In 1943, 90% of Americans said they'd rather lose the war with Nazis than end segregation (Source : Troubling the Waters: Black-Jewish Relations in the American Century, Chapter 3, Page 81). Furthermore, the Nazi eugenics program was inspired by California.

​

Nazi Germany and USA had much more in common than USSR and USA.

​

The Dunning-Kruger is strong with you. Don't worry though, it's just your genetic retardation, an immutable characteristic, so to say. Just don't reproduce.

>Nazis and ethno nationalists don't get on

Most of their disagreements are on methodology. There won't be many, among the already <0.1% Neo Nazis, who'd complain if they get a white only ethnostate.

​

​

​

>that's like arguing ISIS would disappear in an all Islamic homeland

Brainlet analogy. ISIS is funded by Saudi Arabia and operates on non "Islamic" homeland. 1448 odd Neo Nazis remaining in the Ethno States of America won't pose any threat nor would have any motivation to do so.

The cultural revolution occurred because of Soviet Agents working in the US Government falsifying reports. (Source: https://www.amazon.com/Blacklisted-History-Senator-McCarthy-Americas/dp/1400081068/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1536522132&sr=8-1&keywords=blacklisted+by+history+the+untold+story+of+senator+joe+mccarthy )

The Khmer Rouge happened because we let the Vietnamese purge conservatives following the Vietnamese war and the Democrats violation of the treaty with South Vietnam. They watched the communists of North Vietnam put a million people against the wall, and thought, "Not only is the United States not going to do anything, this looks like fun!"

Your master, Trump, is a pro-Russian useful idiot, and therefore, being the tools that you are, you've become useful idiots too.

Oh, talking about McCarthy, he's been vindicated:

You mean the senator who was absolutely correct about communist infiltration of our government and media?

Edit: apparently you hate history and reality, too.
