The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy

This book details how McCarthy was the victim of McCarthyism and revisionism, the evidence remains on his side.

It's a fascinating, well-researched, disection of the myths and propaganda that happened for the general public. It turns out McCarthy's name should remain synonymous with libelous witch hunts, not because he was the perpetrator of them, but the victim of them. McCarty was the victim of McCarthyism, not the perpetrator. FDR, Truman, the media, and our education system have all distorted what happened and why.

Much of this info comes from M. Stanton Evans painstakingly documented 600 page book: "The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His fight Against America's Enemies". Though, over the years, I've read quite a few other books, snippets and articles on McCarthy, or the other scandals and players named, Stan's book is one of the best collections of all the data in one place. While it's long, I can't recommend it enough, if you have interest in the technical details of what went on around McCarthy and the Truman/Eisenhower administrations, and want to dive into any of these topics more, it's in there.

A mean-guy (McCarthy) started an evil witch-hunt to bully and ruin the lives of innocent people, based on no evidence (a fake list) and preyed on a mass hysteria tht was the red-scare paranoia. The whole thing was made up, and all blew over once people realized McCarthy was a fraud and there was no communist threat.	Communists had infiltrated the incompetent FDR and Truman administrations a decade before McCarthy, which got us to help in the fall of China, gave the Soviet the secrets of the Bomb, and had undermined our national interests. We'd known for years, and they were supposed to have fixed the problem, but they had just moved the same people around. When whistle-blower McCarthy started exposing that, he had to be destroyed and history needed to be rewritten with the help of the media.

The Narrative[edit | edit source]

McCarthyism is remembered as a mean guy, who started an evil witch-hunt to bully and ruin the lives of innocent people (based on scant evidence) by preying on the gullibility of red-scare paranoia. The whole thing was made up, and it all blew over once people realized McCarthy was a fraud.

All the standard "talking points" are either invention, exaggeration of falsehood. Even the term "McCarthyism" was invented by the Communist newspaper the Daily Worker, as a propaganda smear campaign to stop the pressure on the communist spies and sympathizers in government. The success of this faux history is evidence of how big the problem was, and how right McCarthy was.

We know the truth because because throughout the 1990’s a few things happened:

The Soviet Union and their Satellite Countries collapsed, which freed up reams of documentation on what they had been doing (who was on their payroll)
The Freedom of information act (FOI) meant that the FBI, State Dept., Military and other government agencies were forced to open up what was left of their files.
Some of that information included the Venona decrypts (our Army Signal Intelligence Service, now called the NSA), decrypted the soviet intelligence agencies communications.
We can also see communications between the Truman and Tydings, or the Eisenhower administration, and so on.
