JFK unmasked

In Kennedy's defense, the CIA and DOD had a lot of batshit crazy scenarios drawn-up when he took office, to include the Bay of Pigs invasion (although the plan required USAF support). He and Ike aren't really responsible for all of the BS that was in vogue at the time.

What did Ike have to do with JFK, who executed the Bay of Pigs invasion?

I guess only Republican presidents are responsible for all the things done by every Agency during their Administration.
 
Funny how Julian Assange is now a favorite of the right, kinda like Russia and the National Debt, first they were against it now their for it, guess their convictions depend upon who occupies the White House

I don't recall saying that "McCarty actually exposed" anyone, anchovies.

You should stay away from trying to interpret what others write, since as we've seen in the past, you don't have a good grasp of the English language.

A grand total of 108 Communist Party members were convicted under the anti-subversion provisions of the Smith Act,.

Around a dozen Americans went to jail for espionage activities (one of them being Alger Hiss, who was convicted of perjury). Two were sentenced to death for conspiracy to commit espionage.

Archival materials from the former Soviet Union have revealed that Stalin's intentions were aggressively malign and expansionist, just as McCarthy said.

Historians J. E. Haynes, Harvey Klehr, Ronald Radosh, Allan Weinstein, and Alexander Vassiliev have used new declassified American materials as well as Soviet sources to lay to rest any doubts about the Soviet Union's espionage activities, as well as the Communist Party's active support of it.

The declassified Venona decrypts have revealed to the public the full extent and depth of Soviet spying in America and proved that fears of Russian espionage networks at work in the highest reaches of the government were not fantasy but sober fact.

Independent sources from iron curtain-era Hungary confirmed Alger Hiss's role as a Soviet spy, just as Russian sources (including his former KGB case officer) have definitively established that Julius Rosenberg was a central figure in the Soviet spy network.

The truth about Owen Lattimore, the most famous of McCarthy's "victims," has come out, thanks to a former Chinese espionage agent's memoirs and declassified FBI files, which go a long way to vindicate McCarthy's original charges.

In retrospect, the cause McCarthy made his own — anticommunism — has proved to be more valid and durable than the basic assumptions of his critics.

Got to admit, he's always a treat, the part of the paragraph that emoji left out in his "apt" response;

"In fact, the number of people who did spend time in prison remained small. A grand total of 108 Communist Party members were convicted under the antisubversion provisions of the Smith Act, which Congress passed in 1941 (long before McCarthy was a member) and applied as equally to Nazi and fascist organizations as it did to Communists"

That wasn't the response I described as "apt", anchovies.

Let's recap: Your infantile bumbling was exposed once again by your apparent ignorance of the Communist threat that McCarthy was correct about, and you don't know how to use 'they're' and 'their' in a sentence.

:rofl2:

The names were discovered from the documents recovered after the collapse of the USSR. It proved that McCarthy was correct.

I'll understand if you can't explain.

Dick Cheney is famous for proclaiming "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter."

The GOP had a longstanding history of opposing Russia and it's activities, but now pretends that it's all overblown and conspiratorial.

When Wikileaks first began dumping documents, the right was out for Snowden and Manning's blood, and wanted to try to put a stop to Assange.

Dick Cheney is one man and said that once, as far as I know. Anchovies claimed that the "right" is now for deficits. I'm not, so anchovies lied.

Times have changed since those days, poor little history major. Didn't they tell you in junior college?
