Another True American Heroin

I listened to a very interesting interview with Rachel Maddow last night concerning her new book, Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism, which is about America's fight to preserve democracy back during World War II. A couple of important points she discussed were: Senator Henrik Shipstead from Minnesota was stealing from his staff back in the 1940s. When his senate staff would get paid every week he would force them to give him some of the money back as a kickback. He was a known antisemite(people who are hostile, and prejudiced towards Jewish people) Phylis Pasifero(not sure of spelling) who was a secretary in his office went to the FBI and told them that she believed he was working with a Nazi agent and that his wife had taken the evidence out of his office. She was so brave. A mere secretary back then. She was able to report upon a multi-million dollar plot to overtake the country. Did you know Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh were also antisemites? Henry Ford wrote a series of books and pamphlets called The International Jew. These were published and distributed in the 1920s. The image is from netline.com
