Move the thread back to politics where it belongs.... all of the points are fully documented... suggest you consult with the_Jazz ...... I think more respect than this....suddenly moving the thead, should be accorded, considering the effort and quality of the references and the unique way it is all tied together. It is journalism in posted form....if it doesn't belong in politics, but it is fully documented....why would it belong here, unless it is to marginalize......
Doesn't it seem that Americans allowed their political process to be compromised by hostile, foreign agents, soon to be "the enemy", in a time of war? Why has this been surpressed, how did it all get swept under the rug, unless the press and the business community was united in it's complicity to sweep these revelations, away?
The Nazis worked with American politicians to try to "steal" the 1940 presidential election, for the purpose of keeping the US out of the war being waged by Britain, against Germany......

The Memory of Fish
Monday, Mar. 02, 1942
Ham Fish's memory went dead. The gangling, trumpet-tongued Congressman was on the witness stand in Washington, called there to explain his relations with George Sylvester Viereck, veteran Nazi propaganda agent. Viereck was on trial, charged with failing to tell the State Department all about his activities. One Government witness was George Hill, World War I buddy and for some 20 years office clerk to Ham Fish. Because he had once denied knowing Agent Viereck, Hill himself was tried for perjury a few weeks ago, had been sentenced to two-to-six years in jail. He took it like a man who was loyally suppressing a big secret. But in court last week, Hill admitted that:
¶He had served as handy man of a propaganda ring managed by Viereck and Prescott Dennett, Washington publicist.
¶ Ham Fish had introduced him to Viereck, after Fish had held a long conference with the Nazi agent in Fish's private office.
¶ Viereck then instructed him to mail out, under frank of Minnesota's late Senator Ernest Lundeen, copies of an isolationist speech Lundeen made in the Senate.
¶Fish provided Viereck with a mailing list of some 100,000 names.
Ham Fish strode in with majestic dignity. But his memory was in bad shape. He could not be sure whether he had introduced Viereck to his secretary, George Hill. All such details had faded into a fog. Prosecutor William Power Maloney asked suavely whether it was a coincidence that Viereck's views as a Nazi propagandist "coincide so closely with your views as a Congressman at this time." Mr. Fish could still shout. He leaned forward, shouted: "The man who made that statement lies." Maloney asked him whether he referred to Viereck. Fish replied: "I am referring to you. ... I didn't come here to be insulted."
Said Maloney: "I think the American people have been insulted."
