So in order to recap how we got to what became known as the "McCarthy era", we need to take a look at recent events.  Many events occurred before Senator Joseph McCarthy's rise to national fame. There was first the breakdown of the wartime alliance with the Soviet Union, and President Harry S. Truman signed an executive order in 1947 to screen federal employees for possible association with organizations deemed "totalitarian, fascist, communist, or subversive", or potentially advocating "to alter the form of Government of the United States by unconstitutional means." Then, you had Czechoslovak coup by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia which heightened concern in the West about Communist parties seizing power and the possibility of subversion. In 1949, a high-level State Department official was convicted of perjury in a case of espionage, and the Soviet Union tested a nuclear bomb. The Korean War started the next year, significantly raising tensions and fears of impending communist upheavals in the United States. In a speech in February 1950, McCarthy claimed to have a list of members of the Communist Party USA working in the State Department, which attracted substantial press attention, and the term McCarthyism was published for the first time in late March of that year in The Christian Science Monitor, along with a political cartoon by Herblock in The Washington Post.   So there is the quick intro, and Jeananne will pick up all of the details of McCarthyism and the Second Red Scare.   there is always more to learn!

Our guest Aaron J. Leonard is most unusual for an historian, or indeed any kind of guest. For a great deal of his adult life he was a member of arguably the most radical political organization in the United States, the Revolutionary Communist Party, something which he and many now admit is a cult.  His unique experiences as a thoroughgoing activist gives me great insight not only into the history of the United States working class economic cycles but developed in Leonard a knowledge about and sensitivity to the relationship of the state to  free expression, censorship and political activity in the twentieth century. I really enjoyed our discussion for the uniqueness that only somebody of Leonard's life experience and scholarship could bring.  His Meltdown Expected is an exploration of the late 70s and he has authored books on the histories of radicalism in the United States. More about Aaron, here: Aaron J. Leonard is an author and historian with a particular focus on the interplay of radicalism and repression. He is the author of "Heavy Radicals: The FBI's Secret War on America's Maoists,” and "A Threat of the First Magnitude," pathbreaking books that revealed the untold story of the FBI's efforts in the 60s-early 70s against US Maoism. Along with those works he, with colleague Conor A. Gallagher, published examinations based on secret information about the FBI's role in the killing of Black Panther Party member, Fred Hampton.      Following his first two books he turned to writing about contention in the cultural realm. In "The Folk Singers & the Bureau," and "Whole World in an Uproar,” he tracks the interplay of artists such as Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Sis Cunningham, Dave Van Ronk, Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan, and a host of others who sparred with forces of the status quo in producing their music. In May 2024 he will publish "Meltdown Expected: Crisis, Disorder & Upheaval at the end of the 1970s" (Rutgers Univ. Press), reframing the map of the end of the much-maligned Seventies decade. He is currently working on a history of the repression leveled at the Communist Party USA, which will also be published by Rutgers Univ. Press. He has a BA in Social Sciences and History magna cum laude, from New York University. Originally from the Central New York town of Herkimer, Leonard lived most of his adult life in Brooklyn, but he now calls Los Angeles home.

pWotD Episode 2484: J. Robert Oppenheimer Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.With 236,434 views on Monday, 19 February 2024 our article of the day is J. Robert Oppenheimer.J. Robert Oppenheimer (born Julius Robert Oppenheimer; OP-ən-hy-mər; April 22, 1904 – February 18, 1967) was an American theoretical physicist. He was director of the Manhattan Project's Los Alamos Laboratory during World War II and is often called the "father of the atomic bomb".Born in New York City, Oppenheimer earned a bachelor of arts degree in chemistry from Harvard University in 1925 and a doctorate in physics from the University of Göttingen in Germany in 1927, where he studied under Max Born. After research at other institutions, he joined the physics department at the University of California, Berkeley, where he became a full professor in 1936. He made significant contributions to theoretical physics, including achievements in quantum mechanics and nuclear physics such as the Born–Oppenheimer approximation for molecular wave functions, work on the theory of electrons and positrons, the Oppenheimer–Phillips process in nuclear fusion, and early work on quantum tunneling. With his students, he also made contributions to the theory of neutron stars and black holes, quantum field theory, and the interactions of cosmic rays.In 1942, Oppenheimer was recruited to work on the Manhattan Project, and in 1943 he was appointed director of the project's Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico, tasked with developing the first nuclear weapons. His leadership and scientific expertise were instrumental in the project's success. On July 16, 1945, he was present at the first test of the atomic bomb, Trinity. In August 1945, the weapons were used against Japan in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the only use of nuclear weapons in an armed conflict.In 1947, Oppenheimer became the director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, and chaired the influential General Advisory Committee of the newly created U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. He lobbied for international control of nuclear power to avert nuclear proliferation and a nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union. He opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb during a 1949–1950 governmental debate on the question and subsequently took positions on defense-related issues that provoked the ire of some U. S. government and military factions. During the second Red Scare, Oppenheimer's stances, together with his past associations with the Communist Party USA, led to the revocation of his security clearance, following a 1954 security hearing. This effectively ended his access to the government's atomic secrets and his career as a nuclear physicist. Also stripped of his direct political influence, Oppenheimer nevertheless continued to lecture, write, and work in physics. In 1963, as a gesture of political rehabilitation, he was given the Enrico Fermi Award. He died four years later, of throat cancer. In 2022, the federal government vacated the 1954 revocation of his security clearance.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:39 UTC on Tuesday, 20 February 2024.For the full current version of the article, see J.

The Red Scare that engulfed the U.S. in the years immediately after World War II ruined many careers, and any affiliation with the Communist Party was enough to get you blacklisted. So it was that popular novelist Howard fast found himself suddenly a pariah because of his membership in the Communist Party USA. In this 1990 interview Fast reflects on his career, the blacklist, and why he left the Communist Party.

fWotD Episode 2417: Oppenheimer security hearing Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Sunday, 17 December 2023 is Oppenheimer security hearing.The Oppenheimer security hearing conducted by the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) over four weeks in 1954 explored the background, actions, and associations of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American scientist who directed the Los Alamos Laboratory during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb. The hearing resulted in Oppenheimer's Q clearance being revoked. This marked the end of his formal relationship with the government of the United States, and generated considerable controversy regarding whether the treatment of Oppenheimer was fair, or whether it was an expression of anti-communist McCarthyism.Doubts about Oppenheimer's loyalty dated back to the 1930s, when he was a member of numerous Communist front organizations, and was associated with Communist Party USA members, including his wife, brother and sister-in-law. These associations were known to Army Counterintelligence at the time he was made director of the Los Alamos Laboratory in 1942, and chairman of the influential General Advisory Committee of the AEC in 1947. In this capacity, Oppenheimer became involved in bureaucratic conflict between the Army and Air Force over the types of nuclear weapons the country required, technical conflict between the scientists over the feasibility of the hydrogen bomb, and personal conflict with AEC commissioner Lewis Strauss.The proceedings were initiated after Oppenheimer refused to voluntarily give up his security clearance while working as an atomic weapons consultant for the government, under a contract due to expire at the end of June 1954. Several of his colleagues testified at the hearings. As a result of the two-to-one decision of the hearing's three judges, he was stripped of his security clearance one day before his consultant contract was due to expire. The panel found that he was loyal and discreet with atomic secrets, but did not recommend that his security clearance be reinstated. The loss of his security clearance ended Oppenheimer's role in government and policy. He became an academic exile, cut off from his former career and the world he had helped to create. The reputations of those who had testified against Oppenheimer were tarnished as well, though Oppenheimer's reputation was later partly rehabilitated by Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. The brief period when scientists were viewed as a "public-policy priesthood" ended, and thereafter would serve the state only to offer narrow scientific opinions. Scientists working in government were on notice that dissent was no longer tolerated.The fairness of the proceedings has been a subject of controversy, and on December 16, 2022, United States Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm nullified the 1954 decision, saying that it had been the result of a "flawed process" and affirming that Oppenheimer had been loyal.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:14 UTC on Sunday, 17 December 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Oppenheimer security hearing on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Joanna Standard.

Taiwan deputy leader Lai Ching-te has returned home after making two controversial stopovers in the Unites States in a week-long trip. Beijing has condemned the stopovers, accusing “Taiwan independence” forces of dragging the island into war and calamity. Because Latin America is home to most of Taiwan's so-called remaining diplomatic allies, a trip to these countries with US transits is a trick for some Taiwan politicians to politically engage with the US. What has Lai Ching-te attempted to pursue during the stopover? And who is destroying peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits? Host Ding Heng is joined by Dr. Liu Kuangyu, Researcher with the Institute of Taiwan Studies, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; Harry Targ, Emeritus Professor of Political Science and International Relations with Purdue University; Duncan McFarland from the Peace and Solidarity Commission of the Communist Party USA.

“Johnny Got His Gun” is an anti-war novel written in 1938 by American novelist Dalton Trumbo and published in September 1939. There have been radio, stage and screen adaptations of the novel, including Trumbo's own 1971 film, and Metallica recorded a song – titled One – based on the book. In March of 1940, the book was serialized in the Daily Worker, which was published by the Communist Party USA - to which Trumbo belonged. For people on the political left, including the American Communist Party, the book became a rallying point in their opposition to involvement in World War II. But when Hitler invaded the USSR in 1941, Trumbo and his publishers decided to suspend reprinting the book until the end of the war – so long as the US stayed allied with the Soviet Union.

The People's School for Marxist-Leninist Studies presents selected articles from Volume 18, No. 12 of "The Communist," put out by the Communist Party USA in December 1939. This article by William Z. Foster entitled "Lenin and Stalin as Mass Leaders" goes into the particular historical significance of the contributions of comrades Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin to the world Communist movement.

The People's School for Marxist-Leninist Studies presents selected articles from Volume 12, No. 5 of "The Communist," put out by the Communist Party USA in May 1933. This article by Andre Marty entitled "Marx and Working Class Unity" dives into the origins of the struggle for 'unity' among the ranks of the working class, particularly as it relates to the First International. Today, the slogan of 'unity' is often vulgarized and not understood in the way Marx intended it to be. We hope this reading serves to deepen your understanding of what unity means to the revolutionary movement of the working class.

It is essential for Communists to be the most educated and knowledgable workers on the history and development of revolutionary action and struggles within their own countries. In order to ensure the best chances of victory moving forward, we must constantly educate ourselves on previous mistakes in the American labor movement which led to pitfalls and decay.

Many things could happen before the November elections. The Democrats will do anything to keep power and they know if the election is fair they will lose in a landslide. Getting the guns has been a long range goal of the Communist Party USA and ever since they captured the Democrat Party in the early 1990's they have been working to achieve it. After every mass shooting they work to disarm law abiding citizens, which would only cause crime to double overnight.

The People's School for Marxist-Leninist Studies presents a 1929 article entitled "The Party and Party Discipline" by V.I. Lenin from Vol. 8, No. 3 of "The Communist," the former theoretical organ of the Communist Party USA, and the current theoretical organ of the Party of Communists USA. This is a collection of passages from comrade Lenin regarding the importance of discipline, and how it is related to the functioning of a Bolshevik Party. As comrade Lenin said: "Bolsheviks could not have maintained themselves in power for two-and-a-half months, let alone two-and-a-half years, without the strictest, truly iron discipline in our Party...” ("Left-Wing" Communism: an Infantile Disorder, 1920).

The birth and founding of the Communist Party USA are intimately bound up with the study of Lenin, and the question of how the study of Lenin should be approached in the Party's work.

Nick Driedger joins the show to discuss the legacy and ideas of William Z. Foster, former president the Communist Party USA and trade unionist involved in the early IWW and AFL. We adopt a critical lens discuss Foster's concepts of a "militant minority" and "boring from within" as a strategy for pulling conservative unions to the left. Driedger also explains the reaction and criticism leveled against Foster's ideas when he presented them to the IWW in 1911. This and more on the latest episode of Laborwave Radio.

NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT to compare, (#1), the Communist Party USA's constitution to, (#2), The Preamble, Declarations and Sustainable Goals of the United Nation's Marxist Agenda 2030 and, (#3), The Joe Biden American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. You will find the stated goals and methods in all three documents are identical. The only reasonable and logical conclusion is that the Globalist-Socialist-Communist-Marxist movement through the United Nations, over the last 76 years have seized control of the U.S. Government. The Communist party endorsed both Barack Obama (2009) and Joe Biden (2020) in their bid for the presidency. The Communist's grand prize is the subjugation of the United States and with the American democrat party in control of congress and the White House, they are making great strides toward that goal. Their only interruption was the surprise election of Donald Trump in 2017, which was met with the full fury of the clandestine operations of the Globalist-Socialist-Communist-Marxist already embedded in the U.S. government, the FBI and the media. WHY is the happening, and what should WE THE PEOPLE do about it? The answer is both simple and complex. But, if you are a Christian, a conservative and a freedom loving individual, you need to know the answer and what to do about it. A foreshadowing of the modern Globalist-Socialist-Communist-Marxist movement can be traced as far back as 2242 B.C. . The Bible, in Genesis 11:1-9 https://whitestone2020.com/2022/04/16/joe-biden-barack-obama-karl-marx-and-the-united-nations/

Haywood sees the culmination of Browderism in the party, resulting in further degradation and disintegrated of the Communist Party USA.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (02/12/21), we pick up where we ended on our previous broadcast and present more of an episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank is talking with Mary Grabar, a resident fellow at the Alexander Hamilton Institute for the Study of Western Civilization and the author of Debunking Howard Zinn: Exposing the Fake History that Turned a Generation against America. Hank and Dr. Grabar discuss The 1619 Project and the goal of reframing American history, narratives concerning Islam, Christianity, and slavery; changing portrayals of President Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War, the changing cultural narrative influencing American children today, Howard Zinn and the Communist Party USA, and the Marxist principles of the Black Lives Matter organization.

​In a world filled with fake news—Research — the ‘R' in CRI — is more critical than ever. While researching Columbus Day, Hank Hanegraaff read countless articles conveying Christopher Columbus as one of history's greatest villains—far from the hero of history we learned about as students. Then Hank realized something. Every article using the same source — Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States. You may not know his name, but he's largely responsible for poisoning the minds of an entire generation.
