Daily Worker

Listen to this.

Pick, Look, Scientific America, the Daily News, the Daily Worker, the Police Gazette, the Journal of Engineering, Scientific Quarterly, American Psychiatric Journal.

Let me see that.

Oh, Dolan.

Regardless of how this staging made him feel inwardly- Outwardly, White characterized his work with Libby as highly progressive, and hoped it would have the power to change hearts and minds.

In an interview with the socialist paper, The Daily Worker, Josh said, "The idea of a Negro and white artist joining for a tour is really something.

You mustn't forget that most of the people we sang to had never before heard folk songs and songs of protest.

They were mixed audiences, and it was a new experience, and a splendid one for them." He called their collaborative performance of Strange Fruit, "The strongest thing that we did.

A, uh, whatever, people that defected from the regime or people that were close in his inner circle said, "You know, he was so crazy." They go that he, "We got no budget." And people are like, "What do you, what do you mean you don't have a budget?" "No, we just didn't have a budget.

It just, uh, uh, he just bankrupted the country." So you read about this in Third World countries, and you, you know, you say, "Well, it could never happen here." And you know what it is, John? When I was at university, this was like in the 1990s doing my, my, my ba- uh, my bachelor's degree, these were the crazy Marxists, the crazy communist fanatics, we used to laugh at them, that would read like The Daily Worker, but they were such a fringe.

And, you know, you figure, okay, you know, maybe they'll win a city council seat in, I don't know, Berkeley, California, or San Francisco, or Cambridge here in, you know, in Massachusetts, but they would never take over a city, never mind a state, never mind a mass- you know, a well-established party that goes back hundreds of years, like the Democrat Party.

And this is the party of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, of FDR, of Harry Truman, of John F. Kennedy.

So I scroll down.

What's interesting, about this is it comes from the London daily worker.

Okay.

Which of course the daily worker is one of the magazines or newspapers that, uh, Lee Harvey Oswald was subscribed to.

And he was holding in the allegedly holding in the backyard photographs.

Right.

And this was published in October 26th, 1964.

And let's read together because y'all are going to love this.

know.

One question I have is, is there's the daily worker, which is part of the infrastructure, key part of the infrastructure for the party.

And how much did the state or the FBI try to shut it down, to try and influence it, to try and turn people who worked on it into informants or assets? Did that go on at all?

The most extreme thing happens when I'm trying, I want to, I wrote the book a while ago, so some of the facts elude me, but I think it's around the time that Khrushchev gets his, gives his speech in 1956 that they, the Treasury Department actually closes the daily worker down for a time.

Because ostensibly, oh, you didn't pay your taxes.

They saw a moment and an opportunity.

As a backdrop for the history of Marshall, which I gave on June 14th, there is the raw, harsh fact that since World War II, the free world has been losing 100 million people per year to international communism.

If I had named the men responsible for our tremendous loss, all of the administration apologists and the camp-following elements of press and radio, led by the Daily Worker, would have screamed, "The Big Lie, Irresponsible, Smear, Congressional Immunity," etc., etc., etc.

However, it was the Truman branch of the Democratic Party meeting at Denver, Colorado, which named the men responsible for the disaster which they called a great victory.

Dean Gooderham, Acheson, and George Catlett Marshall.

They were days also of the common front, when the Communists were nominally fighting alongside the Nationalists and ranks presumably were closed.

The American colony at Hankow likewise included Captain Evans Carlson, later a brigadier general in the Pacific.

I would remind the reader that Stilwell and Carlson are the Communist heroes of our war in the Far East, that both were and are honored in the Daily Worker and throughout the Communist movement in this country.

Dominating the intellectual life of the American colony in Hankow, according to Frieda Utley, who was also there, was that effective agent of Russian imperialism, Agnes Smedley.
