If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
—- usually misattributed to James Madison
Democratic (socialist/fascist) President Truman writes in a telegram to Republican (fascist/socialist) de facto governor Thomas E. Dewey, of new york, Esq.: “We have taken our stand on the side of Korea and our pledge of faith to that nation is a witness to all the world that we champion liberty wherever the tyranny of communism is the aggressor.”
NOTES:
- This was the first United States’ war that was run not by the Department of War/Defense, but by the department of state.
- As an attorney (Officer of the Court) Dewey was ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6 [Clause 2].
