Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervour - with the cry of grave national emergency. Always, there has been some terrible evil at home, or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it.
General Douglas MacArthur
To err is Truman.
I bring this expression back from the grave, because there was mass infiltration of our government during Truman and FDR before him. On his watch, China fell to the communists and it was paid for by the US taxpayer. (Mentioned in the first edition of None Dare Call It Treason.). McCarthy started making an issue of communists in the military and state department and the democrats, under Truman’s leadership in the shadows, accompanied by the media, Edward R. Murrow, discredited McCarthy in the public eye. Under Truman, the US engaged in a “police action” in Korea. While all this was going on, Truman fired MacArthur.
" Truman fired MacArthur.".
