McCarthyism

McCarthyism is was a time in U.S. Histoy where the government mainly headed by Senator Joesph McCarthy and his Commite used fierce scare tactics against the people of the United States. It was the "Red Scare." Anyone and everyone was suspect to be plotting against the U.S. Government. Hundreds of people lost thier jobs due to suspicion of being a member of the American Communist Party. Even members in the public spotlight were subject to testifying in the senate and or getting blacklisted. Charlie Chaplin, Aaron Copland, Willie Geer, Langston Hughes, Arthur Miller, Robert Oppenheimer, Paul Robeson, Pete Seeger, Orson Welles, and Richard Wright are just a few of the more well know people on the blacklist. Stanlin ruled the Commmunist USSR with an iron fist. Anyone that spoke out against his ideas would be executed. Meanwhile the U.S. Government created the red scare to make people afraid and easliy controlable. Neighbors turned in neighbors and the country was not to far from the conditions of the USSR. The modern day witch hunt continued for along while. In "The Book of Daniel" the Issacsons become victims to this McCarthyism Machine. They are guilty before ever standing trial in the eyes of the American Public.
