Spreading the Red Stain: The Communist Infiltration of Hollywood
A closer look reveals a circle of individuals…who were advocating for the violent overthrow of the U.S. government…. Ahead of World War II, many members of the Communist Party of Germany left for other parts of the world… were rejected as undesirables by other developed nations such as the United Kingdom, and so they headed for the United States. After their arrival, many writers and filmmakers joined the ranks of American Communist Party groups.
This gave rise to popular front movements supporting Soviet infiltration of art and culture venues and the penetration of political institutions in the mid-1930s … transform the entertainment industry into a tool to spread communist ideology and propaganda.
According to Michael Kazin, a history professor at Georgetown University, this grand-scale takeover scheme began in 1930s Hollywood with influential film industry leftists such as Yip Harburg, songwriter for “The Wizard of Oz” … Harburg was one of the leading pro-Soviet artists in Hollywood’s motion picture industry. Human Events reporter Allan H. Ryskind states that the House committee “uncovered over 200 Party members in Hollywood,” although Ryskind says his father, a screenwriter in Hollywood at the time, believes the actual number was closer to 300…
Arthur Eckstein writes that the Hollywood establishment has never lost its love affair with the Communist Party in both a political and cultural sense…
In a review of Ryskind’s “Hollywood Traitors,” Allan C. Brownfield writes: “… it is hard to understand how Communist writers who worked so hard for another nation and against their own country’s interests have become heroes to many liberals… archive.is/c30tD https://archive.ph/c30tD theepochtimes.com/spreading-the-red-stain-the-communist-infiltration-of-hollywood_2299892.html
Manning Rudolph Johnson (December 17, 1908 – July 2, 1959) was a Communist Party USA African-American leader and the party's candidate for U.S. Representative from New York's 22nd congressional district during a special election in 1935. He later left the Party and became a government informant and witness. On July 14, 1949, Johnson testified on "Communist Infiltration of Minority Groups":
Johnson also testified against Paul Robeson accusing him of having been a member of the Communist Party, although Johnson said "in the Negro commission of the national committee of the Communist Party we were told, under threat of expulsion never to reveal that Paul Robeson was a member of the Communist Party, because Paul Robeson's assignment was highly confidential and secret." During 1949 testimony, Johnson summed up Robeson's career by saying, "It is regrettable, indeed, that such a man has sold himself to Moscow. He has enjoyed many of the benefits of this country. In 1953, Johnson testified before the Committee on Un-American Activities of the U.S. House of Representatives -wikipedia
