The New Republic
The New Republic is a bi-monthly, neo-liberal magazine published in the United States founded in 1914 by Willard Straight using Payne Whitney money. Among some of its early writers was Walter Lippmann. Straights son Michael Whitney Straight during Administration of President Franklin Roosevelt functioned as an editor, Presidential speechwriter, and KGB operative.
According to Prof. Carroll Quigley, the chief achievement of The New Republic in 1914-1918 and again in 1938-1948 was to end American isolationism and for interventionism in Europe. Quigley states that William Straight allowed Communists, dedicated to the overthrow of the U.S. Government by violent means, to come into the New Republic.
Lew Frank was the first. Frank joined a "Communist Research Group" which met in the Manhattan home of the wealthy "Wall Street Red," and KGB operative Frederick Vanderbilt Field. [1]
An example of the disinformation practiced by the The New Republic is in its December 13, 1943 issue (p. 835) after the Teheran and Cairo conferences. The magazine reported, "the great and shining achievement at Cairo and Teheran was a meeting of minds of the four leaders." In fact, Stalin had refused to meet with Chiang Kai-shek. [2]
