 Back in the year 1947, the House Select Committee began an investigation into the Motion Picture
CENSOR FREE SOCIAL Industry. Ostensibly the goal was to ferret out communists working in the film industry. But in actuality Audio
MEDIA the US Government was concerned that Hollywood was no longer as blindly supportive of government
policy as it had been only a few years earlier at the height of WW2. In particular, J. Edgar Hoover had
long held the opinion that the entertainment industry should be the propaganda arm for the government in
peace time as well as war.
However, as WW2 had ended, the defense establishment had lobbied for the creation of a "Cold" war
against the Soviet Union, a war not actually to be fought, but constantly to be prepared for at huge cost to
the taxpayers. This cost was the visible manifestation of the "Military Industrial Complex" President
Eisenhower referred to in his farewell address, and many in Hollywood openly wondered just why so
much more money had to be thrown into the war machine during a time of peace, and more to the point,
just why we were supposed to be so afraid of the communists.
Hoover's desire to remake Hollywood into a gigantic propaganda machine had started at the end of WW1
when Hoover tried to persuade Charlie Chaplin to cease making films that portrayed authority figures as
oafish buffoons. Chaplin refused, laughed at Hoover. Years later, as head of the FBI, Hoover was
instrumental in having Charlie Chaplin's citizenship revoked in retaliation.
Hoover's mania with Hollywood was a seldom reported but constant factor in show business. The 1959
film, "The FBI Story" starring Air Force General Jimmy Stewart was reportedly directed by Mervyn LeRoy,

Having documented the FBI's willingness to destroy anyone they feel represents a threat to the
government, let us return to the days of the House Select Committee on UnAmerican Activities.

was registered on the black list because she refused to give evidence against her husband Arnold Manoff.
Stars such as Larry Parks were destroyed because they refused to "name names" of other actors who
were party members. Actor Philip Loeb committed suicide. Edward G. Robinson, never a communist,
was put on a "grey list," and spent the rest of his life making B movies (except for his final role opposite
Charlton Heston in "Soylent Green"). Sam Jaffe, formerly a well-known actor and Oscar winner in 1950
was registered on the black list because he refused to cooperate with the committee. He spent the next 6
years working as a math teacher and living at his sister's until he was able to return to films in 1957.
Of course, what was really involved was money. War is good for business. Business had been great
during WW2 and the newly created "Cold War" was just a way to keep business good. The Military
Industrial Complex NEEDED Hollywood to demonize the Soviets. Otherwise, too many people were going
to ask why we were being told to be so afraid of them, and few in the government had a really convincing
answer for that question. So, in order to perpetuate the Cold War, those in Hollywood who might
sympathize with the designated villains had to be removed; their ruined lives a small price to pay for
unending access to the taxpayers' wallets.
But that was then and this is now.
Once again vast sums of money are being spent on a war, this time a hot one and getting hotter. Once
again parties with a vested interest are out to smear and destroy anyone who dares ask if the wars are
worth the sacrifice of our young people (not to mention the money), indeed if there really is any point at all
to the wars aside from justifying the flow of money to defense contractors.
But the Soviet Union has gone out of business. The word "communist" doesn't carry the same
psychological impact it used to, so the war hawk smear squad has come up with a new one, "Anti-
Semite." Like "Communist", "Anti-Semite" is used to ruin the lives of people who have not actually done
anything wrong other than to challenge the war profiteers. It is a new word for an old trick, and I am
amazed that they are still playing the same old game, but I guess the FBI can always find some dumb-
assed idiot to fall for it and do their dirty work of wrecking a career for them.
Of course, it really isn't that new a word. Oddly enough, Charles Lindbergh the famous aviator commented
in a speech in Des Moines in 1941...
Our theaters soon became filled with plays portraying the glory of war.
Newsreels lost all semblance of objectivity. Newspapers and magazines began
to lose advertising if they carried anti-war articles. A smear campaign was
instituted against individuals who opposed intervention. The terms "fifth
columnist," "traitor," "Nazi," "anti-Semitic" were thrown ceaselessly at any one
who dared to suggest that it was not to the best interests of the United States
to enter the war. Men lost their jobs if they were frankly anti-war. Many others
dared no longer speak.
Today we are seeing once again the heavy hand of the war profiteers trying to reshape the film industry
into a tool to propagandize the public into a high war-fever such that they will gladly trade their own blood
for gold to line the pockets of the defense establishment. And those individuals who have the courage to
speak out are attacked, and once again they are smeared to silence them. In the 1940s it was
"Communist", today it is "Anti-Semite", but aside from the particular label used, the methods, goals, and
morality are little changed from the days of Joseph McCarthy.
If there is a difference today it is that the American people are better educated. No longer dependent on
the state schools, or controlled media, the public understands the tactics used to silence those who
speak out. As a result, those who speak out are more and more not only accorded the sympathetic ear
that their message deserves, but the effects of the smearing are far less ruinous than in times past.
Thus, when we see people like Willie Nelson, Sean Penn, and Marion Cotillard speak out and survive, or
when people like Tom Shadyac (or myself) voluntarily walk away from Hollywood because speaking the
truth matters more to them, it sends a message that it is now permissible, indeed imperative to speak
out. This is not to say that there are not risks. Rosie O'Donnell lost her spot on "The View", but the
majority of Americans understand exactly why, and understand that Rosie sacrificed a great deal trying to
get the truth out. Rosie is and will be remembered as a hero for truth long after her co-hosts on "The
View" are properly forgotten.

 In contrast, of course, we look back at those who aided the "Commie" witch-hunts of the 1940s with
deserved contempt. No doubt many aided Hoover purely to rid themselves of competition, and then tried
to lull themselves to sleep with the idea that in some way they had actually done something good for the
nation by wrecking their neighbors' careers. I have no doubt strong liquor played a role in this grossest of
self-deception. But if the informants and smear artists of the 1940s are remembered in a poor light, that
should serve as a reminder to the informants and smear artists of today. It does not matter what you do
with the rest of your life, aiding the new version of McCarthyism is how history will remember you. While
people like Charlie Sheen, Willie Nelson, Sean Penn, and Marion Cotillard (and to step out of
entertainment, former President Jimmy Carter) will be remembered and honored for their courage, history
will lump the smear artists together with Stalin's "Useful idiots", little more than no-talent opportunists for
whom ratting out someone was the fastest path to advancement.
They say that history repeats itself, and indeed that is the major thing wrong with history. We are seeing
history repeat itself again. We have been down this path before, in the 1940s. Whether the word is
"Communist" or "Anti-Semite", Hollywood is making the same mistake all over again. And Hollywood will
have to live with that image in the coming decades.
