The Marginalizing of McCarthy and American Communism
Aside from the many differences of opinion of HOW McCarthy went about investigating Communist subversion tactics to undermine everything America stands for, his premise FOR the hearings and investigations was sound and valid, as has been well documented and proven after McCarthy’s hearings. Harvey Klehr, of Emory University, was one of several scholars who had privileged access to top-secret KGB files after the fall of the Soviet Union.
In several of his books, Klehr exposes that most of those who were on McCarthy’s list of Communist “spies” as covert “agents” with Soviet ties were indeed guilty as suspected and were on record with the KGB. He also Exposed, that within the top-secret records of the KGB, the Soviet Union and the KGB directly funded and instructed the Communist Party USA in their agandas, their leadership assignment, and subversive strategy.
The lecture is 48 minutes long. The first clip below is his compelling closing 2 minutes or so, but I’ve also included below, Klehr’s full length lecture. He is not an exciting lecturer. He is very paced, deliberate, extremely intelligent and brimming with detailed information. The full-length video starts getting very interesting around 13 or 14 mins, especially around 20 mins, and 25 mins on out. Make notes and use this information as factual retort when your Liberal friends try to make you out to be a villainous perpetrator of McCarthyism whenever you present facts about Obama’s policies being nothing short of Socialistic and Communistic. Klehr is also co-author of “Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America.” There has been a excellent article written by Leslie King for Emory University titled: “Harvey Klehr on Defeating the Communist Ideal, which you can read by clicking the title. Klehr also co-authored “Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America.” You can also read more free information regarding the Venona Project here, which is info that obviously pre-dates the subject of this page, but is goo insight into the minds of Marxist subversionists.
