McCarthy charges communists are in the CIA - June 2, 1954

      I find this article interesting and will copy and paste parts of it from www.history.com. It is interesting because where there is evil work, and attention is brought to the evil work, even if it is just speculation, it gets mocked. Senator Joseph McCarthy noticed something suspicious and tried to bring it to the attention of others, but was ignored and thought of as a person who was trying to make a last ditch attempt to some type of accomplishment. I think he was aware of what was going on in our government. I don't know how extensive this is, but there are people set inside our government with the intention of hijacking our government. They will do their work and go unnoticed but there is an agenda. Make no mistake about it. I believe the deepest desire of sinful, fallen mankind is to be in control, to have power. If left unchecked or unstopped, it will lead to devastating situations such as the Holocaust (which ironically people are trying to deny ever existed). But keep this in mind as you study our governmental system. We do have a Shadow Government, controlled by people with lots and lots of money. If we just ignore that fact and go on with life as usual, we may be taken by surprise one day. 

  Here is the excerpt from the article from History.com:

Senator Joseph McCarthy charges that communists have infiltrated the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the atomic weapons industry. Although McCarthy's accusations created a momentary controversy, they were quickly dismissed as mere sensationalism from a man whose career was rapidly slipping away.

Senator McCarthy first made a name for himself in 1950 when he charged that over 200 "known communists" were in the Department of State. During the next few years, he alleged that communists were in nearly every branch of the U.S. government. His reckless accusations helped to create what came to be known as the Red Scare, a time when Americans feared that communists were infiltrating all aspects of American government and life. Despite the fact that McCarthy never managed to unearth a single communist, his ability to whip up public hysteria and smear opponents as communist sympathizers made him front-page news for several years. By 1954, however, his power was slipping. His earlier charges had been leveled at the Democratic administration of President Harry S. Truman, and Republicans had embraced McCarthy as a useful weapon. When Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower stepped into the presidency in 1953, however, McCarthy's wild accusations became a nuisance and source of embarrassment to the Republican Party.
