Correct. Had to double check that. Didn't know he was an American either. There was several people who were propagandists. Most seemed, as I wrote, to be true believes in the cause. Same way with Communists. Later spies seemed to be in it more for the money.

The question is what can we the normal Americans who I must believe still make up a majority of Americans do to stop this? How can we allow universities to exist, many of them state run and all the others federally subsidized to one degree or another, that churn out thousands upon thousands of America hating radical revolutionaries? What civilization does this and how can we survive it? Its not enough to win the presidency or Congress. This is a massive project and anyone who attempts to stop it will be accused of violating free speech or academic freedom. No one has the academic freedom to teach a curriculum of Marixst hatred for our own country.

Everything is downstream from the mass college indoctrination. I attended a few different colleges over the years and they were all the same. The professors and textbooks were all leftist. Even today I was taking a masters course and the professor had to include that cooperations were the cause of all things bad in the world.

The media and all the institutions are leftist because of the education system. Nothing will matter until someone does something about it. That should be the main concern for any Republican politician.

I totally agree and I am not sure what can be done but if a president and a majority Congress can get elected on a pledge to take major and serious action against the universities maybe something can be done. It has to be on a massive scale.

Somewhat more complicated than that. It seems a lot of the testimony against her was forced and coached by the FBI. (file under "And we are all surprised by that!"One of the reasons that led to Ford's pardon. The Wiki has a pretty good write up on her and others. . A better example would be Lord Haw-Haw and others who broadcast for Germany and Italy. They seemed to be more True Believers. What's also interesting is how many times the FBI lied in how they gathered evidence against various suspects.

I believe William Joyce (Lord Haw Haw) was executed for treason by the British after the war. Tokyo Rose was in a different situation. Not only was she coerced but she wasn't considered American which is why she was forced to remain in Japan. Thus she shouldn't have even been charged with anything.

Excellent post. Max Blumenthal is an interesting player in this matter. As Paul notes, he is the son of the well-known lefty Sidney Blumenthal. Sidney is in the midst of writing a five volume Lincoln biography. It's hard to imagine someone can admire both Lincoln and the Iranian mullahs, and Sidney is an acolyte of Bill Clinton, who is not a bomb throwing anti-Semite. Maybe in this case, or on this issue, the Blumenthal apple has fallen far from the tree. Jim Dueholm

The treasonous and subversive behaviors of those who hate America and seek its destruction are sadly shielded by the protections of the First Amendment. A corrective rebalancing of these protections should be considered.
