Almost instantly, the FBI’s case began to unravel. The defendants had been charged with stealing rifles, ammunition, and explosives – But the prosecution soon realized that *everything* had been acquired legally. 20/24

With the frontier closed, and the State Department alert and opposed the embargo violation, FDR’s scheme to break U.S. law to help the Reds collapsed.

To his credit, the author acknowledges that racism, xenophobia, and ethnocentrism are evolved, and adaptive - rather than something dreamed up by wicked colonizers in 1619. But he laments to failure of China to adopt the western "civil rights" perspective.

The Great Sedition Trial of 1944: FDR, with the help of ADL spies, leftist provocateurs, and a corrupt FBI, conducted a massive show trial - attempting to criminalize criticism of his administration, his war policy, and his cozy relationship with the USSR.🧵/26

In contrast to western countries, China maintains a strong sense or racial identity and pride. Unlike westerners, the Chinese can see themselves as part of an extended family, descended from common ancestors.

Hart’s improbable success in winning the competition had a critical side-benefit – It helped him meet girls. Hanging out in Dupont Circle, he met the lovely Lindy Lain, who would become his model, and later his wife.

Earlier a police car had pulled up and asked the three young Black men what they were up to. If the cops had been a little more suspicions at that moment – if they had peaked inside the van, the Hagues and many other lives would have been spared - But that would have been racist.
