The Dupes

Via Dan Collins[*1] , a series of articles underway at the Big Peace[*2] web site on the book Dupes: How America’s Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century[*3] by Dr. Paul Kangor.

Part one is linked above. Here is part two, on Teddy Kennedy.[*4]

If you want to continue to stick your fingers in your ears and say la-la-la-la-la and ignore the plain facts before you, then there’s little I can do for you. But if you’re interested in actually knowing the truth of what’s gone on in this world, and what is still going on, you’ll read these articles.

It is appalling how completely these people were used, and how naive and blind they were. And still are, judging from the policies of the Obama Administration and the Democratic majority in Congress.

You don’t have to be a dupe. Read, listen, study, be open to the truth, even when it makes you uncomfortable (like the recent revelation that the U.S. government under Truman intentionally infected Guatamalans with syphilis[*5] ). As Dr. Kangor notes, even some people on the right were dupes. Some learned. Others didn’t.
