:::::Even Truman, the great protector of Alger Hiss and other spies, wasn't pro-communist enough, according to Zuesse. Hiss engineered the pre-war oil embargo on Japan as a favor to Stalin. Truman had to adjust course after the Republicans won the November 1946 midterms on the issue of anti-Communism. But his natural instinct was always to treat the communists as potential allies against the "fascist" GOP. Don't forget that he fired MacArthur for trying to win the Korean War. The Red Chinese had to save face, don't you know. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 22:16, July 10, 2023 (EDT)

::::::It's funny that most of the internationalist Cold War warriors who made a great talk of anti-Communist action to protect global democracy so bitterly opposed the [[Dies Committee]] investigations, McCarthyism, and the [[Reece Committee]]. Entrenched establishmentarians such as Eisenhower actively undermined efforts to root out domestic Communist subversion, particularly attempting to derail the Reece Committee's crusade by slandering it as "antisemitic" ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUYCBfmIcHM according] to [[Norman Dodd]], it was merely ''one staff member'' who promoted anti-Jewish literature, and they were disciplined). In the U.S. House vote to reestablish the [[Select Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations and Comparable Organizations]], which became known as the Reece Committee, [https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/83-1953/h61 most of the Conservative Coalition rallied behind in support along with a scant amount of liberal Southern Democrats] while basically all Northern Democrats and a group of moderate establishment Republicans ([[Gerald Ford|Ford]], [[Peter Frelinghuysen, Jr.|Frelinghuysen]], [[Jacob Javits|Javits]], etc.) comprised much of the opposition.
::::::The reestablishment of the SCITEFCO was necessary; the previous [[Cox Committee]] ran an investigation dubbed by Reece, absent for most sessions due to family illnesses, as having [https://digitalcommons.liberty.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=1291&context=gov_fac_pubs "insufficient time for the magnitUde of its task."] And years later, neo-Jacksonian liberal Democrat [[Wright Patman]] continued the investigations of tax-exempt foundations for tax evasion, as recommended by the report of the Cox Committee. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Tuesday, 14:28, July 11, 2023 (EDT)
