Growing up, we were taught that Joe McCarthy was a villain of U.S. history. Today, McCarthy’s name is an American swear word.
But in recent years, some have argued he was more right than anyone gave him credit for. So, was he?
Here’s a look back at McCarthy’s campaign to ferret out Soviet spies operating in the United States, even within the agencies of the federal government. What did McCarthy get right and when did he exaggerate or make stuff up? Ken LaCorte explores this dirty chapter of American history in a new edition of Elephants in Rooms.
Cliff High is on the mend after his bout with a couple of thugs who beat him up. We can tell he’s getting healthier because he delivers a full-throttled, 45-minute video here exploring the nature of the space aliens who’ve come to interact with us here on the Earth.
High believes it was our development of the nuclear bomb that raised alarms among these aliens. They do not care about us killing each other, but they do have a problem with us using killing tools that disturb and derange the cosmos and the “materium.”
We must prepare to meet these space aliens and try to grasp how they think, what they think and how they tap into their psychic abilities, High says. He’s not pitching “woo” — in fact, he trashes figures like David Wilcock and Neil DeGrasse. But the discussion does get into scientific thickets. You not only will need to ponder the nature of souls, but also the physics pioneered by J. Robert Oppenheimer and Richard Feynman.
High goes back even further, starting with the 1763 tome that supposedly ushered in modern-day science — Roger Boscovich’s Theory of Natural Philosophy. So this isn’t the easiest ride, but it is quite fascinating. It’s part of High’s on-going Explorers’ Guide to Sci-Fi World.
The Armoured Skeptic prepares to jockey with the CIA — as well as NASA — in tackling the issue of cattle mutilations. Along the way, he gets into the phony moon landing and other instances of social manipulations and distortions. We have a lot to learn as so much of the history we have been taught is a lie!
