I would listen to the neighbor men talk smart and tell lies. I didn\u2019t know they were lies at the time and maybe those good men didn\u2019t know either. But they were more than the common-place tall tales that old men tell with twinkling eyes. They were whopping speculations and exaggerations about threats to the nation. Now we would call them conspiracy theories. It was the time of the \u2018big lie\u2019 propagated by one of our Wisconsin senators, the now-infamous Joseph McCarthy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The date was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.senate.gov\/about\/powers-procedures\/investigations\/mccarthy-hearings\/have-you-no-sense-of-decency.htm\"><span class=\"s1\">June 9, 1954<\/span><\/a>. This was over a year after Wisconsin Republican Senator Joseph R. McCarthy had assumed the chairmanship of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. The history shows that he had<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201crocketed to public attention in 1950 with his allegations that hundreds of Communists had infiltrated the State Department and other federal agencies.\u201d Clearly a psychopath, he escaped control of moderating voices, biting off ever larger targets, including now the U.S. Army.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cJudge, jury, prosecutor, castigator, and press agent, all in one\u201d, was how Harvard law dean\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.senate.gov\/about\/powers-procedures\/investigations\/mccarthy-hearings\/have-you-no-sense-of-decency.htm\"><span class=\"s1\">Ervin Griswold<\/span><\/a>\u00a0described him. In 1954, McCarthy accused the army of \u201clax security at its top-secret army facilities\u201d which he claimed were infiltrated by communists. The army responded by hiring veteran Boston lawyer Joseph Welch to defend itself.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-13550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcommentary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screen-Shot-2025-12-03-at-10.35.33-AM-300x191.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthcommentary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screen-Shot-2025-12-03-at-10.35.33-AM-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/www.healthcommentary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screen-Shot-2025-12-03-at-10.35.33-AM-1024x651.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.healthcommentary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screen-Shot-2025-12-03-at-10.35.33-AM-768x488.png 768w, https:\/\/www.healthcommentary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screen-Shot-2025-12-03-at-10.35.33-AM.png 1104w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=svUyYzzv6VI\"><span class=\"s1\">documentarians<\/span><\/a>\u00a0reported,\u00a0<i>\u201cMothers who never watched TV during the day were glued to watching the Army-McCarthy hearings.\u201d<\/i>\u00a0McCarthy\u2019s right-hand chief council that day was lawyer\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/news\/roy-cohn-mccarthyism-rosenberg-trial-donald-trump\"><span class=\"s1\">Roy Marcus Cohn<\/span><\/a>. Pragmatic, ruthless, and evil to the core, Cohn\u2019s career was launched by McCarthy, and his tainted touch destroyed lives and weakened the U.S. government for three more decades, straight up to the moment of his death from HIV\/AIDS in 1986.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">His style and tactics are widely felt today to be the strategic scaffolding of our Executive Branch\u2019s attempted takeover of the US government. Not surprisingly, a direct assault on the control functions, values, and traditions of the US Military are a leading wedge in these attacks.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>They have literally <i>exploded<\/i> in the past week with revelations that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth himself gave the go-ahead on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2025\/11\/28\/hegseth-kill-them-all-survivors-boat-strike\/\">\u201ckill them all\u201d<\/a> order that ultimately engulfed two survivors of a rocket attack on an alleged drug transporting speed boat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In a 5-minute summation of the televised events of June 9, 1954, you (along with our leaders) are able to witness the historic takedown of McCarthy by Welch (with Cohn as witness) \u2013 the \u201cslaying of the dragon\u201d that finally destroyed McCarthy once and for all.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Cohn had reached an agreement with Welch that McCarthy would avoid attacking one particular Army service man as a communist if Welch remained civil. But Welch had laid a trap, and purposefully needled McCarthy into loosing his temper, and on camera, violating the agreement and \u201cattacking the good lad,\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>who an outraged Welch tearfully defended in his historic and well-prepared retort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As historian<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/video\/mccarthy-9wui76\/\"><span class=\"s1\"> Thomas Doherty<\/span><\/a> recalls,\u00a0\u201cIt was as if the entire country had been waiting for somebody to finally say this line, \u2018Have you no sense of decency.\u2019\u201d\u00a0To which Jelani Cobb adds,\u00a0\u201cAt the end of it, all the illusions, the comfortable illusions that McCarthy had cultivated about himself, had effectively been dispelled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As Welch pounced on his victim, Cohn winces as his dragon is slain. As Congress grapples with a situation that has veered dangerously out of control, we can only hope that this time \u201chistory will repeat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the meantime, <a href=\"https:\/\/um-insight.net\/perspectives\/guidelines-for-resistance\/\"><span class=\"s1\">Cynthia B.
