DIANA WEST: JUNE 9TH 1954 A DEMONIC DAY OF CREATION…….

Diana West revisits the day Leftists turned a national hero in a villain.

Welch-McCarthy1

The speaker, later seen brushing tears away, was US Army counsel Joseph Welch (above left). The loss of “decency” Welch decried allegedly came about when Sen. McCarthy supposedly exposed a young lawyer in Welch’s Boston firm named Frederick G. Fisher as a past member of the National Lawyers Guild, which Attorney General Herbert Brownell had in 1953 described as the “legal mouthpiece” of the Communist Party in the United States.

I say “allegedly” and “supposedly” because the person who had already exposed Fisher as a former member of a Communist front organization was Welch himself.  

On April 15, 1954, nearly two months before the “no decency” exchange, Welch himself told the New York Times that Fisher had been a member of the National Lawyers Guild, and for that reason Welch (the US Army counsel, after all) had relieved Fisher of his job as his Washington assistant and replaced him with another.

The New York Times story, which ran on April 16, 1954, even featured Fisher’s picture.

Summing up in Blacklisted by History, M. Stanton Evans wrote: “It thus develops that Welch himself had already done the very thing for which he so fervently denounced McCarthy.”

This hard, cold fact, however, doesn’t fit the fake narrative of the court historians, who, regardless of the facts, continued to perpetuate the lie that Welch stopped McCarthy in his Red-baiting tracks by revealing the truth about the senator’s lack of “decency,” and his “cruelty” and “recklessness” before America’s eyes.
