All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach. Adolf Hitler or was it Rupert Murdoch ![]() |

Henry Wallace was a kook and and a well known communist sympathizer. There was a very good reason he got zero electoral votes and it wasn't propaganda, but knowledge of his positions. Had he been elected, there is a good chance the USSR would have taken over all of Europe as opposed to just half of it. ![]() ![]() ![]() I remember a time in our American History when a lot of people were accused of being a communist sympathizer including Charlie Chapman. After the Second World War the House of Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) began to investigate people with left-wing views in the entertainment industry. In September 1947 Chaplin was subpoenaed to appear before the HUAC but three times his meeting was postponed. Unknown to Chaplin, J. Edgar Hoover, and the FBI, now had a 1,900 page file on his political activities. Unfortunately being a non-conformist or speaking out against the status quo can get you called a lot of things. Originally communism was about sharing and equality, but like most political ideals it always morphs into dictatorship. But that causes anyone who leans towards the left to be subject to being called communist. After world war II how many of Hitler's henchmen and scientists were smuggled into this country and given new identities and went to work for our very own government? So name calling doesn't really impress or alarm me. We KNOW who those Germans worked for and what they did and we hired them to work for and do for us. It really makes me sick. |
