Interesting piece of history: The Ware Group. I learned about them several years ago reading a biography of Alger Hiss.
"The Ware group started among young lawyers and economists hired by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA). This New Deal agency reported to the Secretary of Agriculture but was operated independently of Department of Agriculture bureaucracy. All the members of the Ware Group were dues paying members of the Communist Party."
The more things change the more they stay the same, they just repackage and relabel the failed policies like the Green New Deal. Thanks for the reference to the Ware group, the same old enemies within.
Alger Hiss was an American Communist traitor embedded in the U.S. State Department who in the middle of WWII - at the behest of FDR - ginned up the charter for the United Nations (which he gave the Soviet Union TWO votes in the so-called "Security Council"); Hiss was the 1st Secretary of the U.N. at its 1st meeting in San Francisco after WWII ended; was finally outed, tried and charged as being a Russian spy and spent a short time in a federal prison. End of story.
Had it not been for Whittaker Chambers renouncing his own membership in the CPUSA - and fingering Hess, who knows how much more damage he could - and would - have done to our Republic. The "American" communists - the REDS - continued to claim Hess was innocent - the MO of the treasonous rats.
He maintained his innocence of the accusations (of being a spy) until he died. But Shelton makes a compelling case that he lived a lie, and rolls out the evidence.
Cracking the book open again to the book's epilogue, I read this from the author: "Alger Hiss fastened upon an illusory ideology claiming to answer all questions, promising utopia, but in reality concealing tyranny. In the process he betrayed his country. Dedicated by oath and office to serving his country, he became a secret agent of the adversary, the Soviet intelligence apparatus. He had closed his mind, blind to the inhumanity of Communism, and adopted Lenin's notion that the choice of revolution is ultimate and irrevocable, an act of passion as well as intellect. Hiss worked hard to appear urbane and sophisticated and behind this persona was his single-minded devotion to Communism, leading to a lifetime of defiance and denying any wrongdoing."
The author - Christina Shelton - nails Hiss to his Hammer & Sickle.
What amazes is WHY so many so-called "intellectuals"- world wide - STILL
fall for the absolute gibberish of Karl Marx "thought" and the imbecility of
and impossibility of "continuous revolution" until "absolute equality" in a far off utopia is achieved - and the Communist State THEN "fades away". HAH!
Marx apparently had NO comprehension of the inbred fault in the DNA of the Homo-sapiens species that lusts for POWER and CONTROL over others.
World history is replete with examples of both sexes of power-mad-control-freaks who directly caused only bloody chaos to the human condition.

Biography of Alger Hiss??!!
Alger Hiss was an American Communist traitor embedded in the U.S. State Department who in the middle of WWII - at the behest of FDR - ginned up the charter for the United Nations (which he gave the Soviet Union TWO votes in the so-called "Security Council"); Hiss was the 1st Secretary of the U.N. at its 1st meeting in San Francisco after WWII ended; was finally outed, tried and charged as being a Russian spy and spent a short time in a federal prison. End of story.
Convicted of perjury, but you're mostly right. Thus the title: "Alger Hiss: Why He Chose Treason." By Christina Shelton.
Had it not been for Whittaker Chambers renouncing his own membership in the CPUSA - and fingering Hess, who knows how much more damage he could - and would - have done to our Republic. The "American" communists - the REDS - continued to claim Hess was innocent - the MO of the treasonous rats.
BTW, James, what was Hess' excuse for becoming an American Communist?
He maintained his innocence of the accusations (of being a spy) until he died. But Shelton makes a compelling case that he lived a lie, and rolls out the evidence.
Cracking the book open again to the book's epilogue, I read this from the author: "Alger Hiss fastened upon an illusory ideology claiming to answer all questions, promising utopia, but in reality concealing tyranny.

Hiss worked hard to appear urbane and sophisticated and behind this persona was his single-minded devotion to Communism, leading to a lifetime of defiance and denying any wrongdoing."
PS: I found the book worthwhile.
The author - Christina Shelton - nails Hiss to his Hammer & Sickle.

James, I seem to remember that there were also several chicken farms that were destroyed by fire.
I'm not sure since the pace of news now days is like drinking water 🚰 from a fire hose!!!🤷🏻♂️🤷🤷♀️
