Truman Diary Entry, July 17 1945
"Just spent a couple of hours with Stalin. Joe Denis called on Maiski and made the date last night for noon today. Promptly a few minutes before twelve I looked up from the desk and there stood Stalin in the doorway. I got to my feet and advanced to meet him. He put out his hand and smiled. I did the same, we shook, I greeted Molotov and the interpreter and we sat down. After the usual polite remarks we got down to business. I told Stalin that I am no diplomat but usually said yes or no to questions after hearing all the argument. It pleased him. I asked him if he had the agenda for the meeting. He said he had some more questions to present. I told him to fire away. He did and it is dynamite--but I have some dynamite too which I'm not exploding now.
He wants to fire Fianco, to which I wouldn't object and divide up the Italian colonies and other mandates, some no doubt that the British have Then he got on the Chinese situation told us what agreements had been reached and what was in abeyance. Most of the big points are settled. He'll be in the Jap War on August 15th. Fini Japs when that comes about. We had lunch, talked socially, put on a real sham drinking toasts to everyone, then had pictures made in the back yard. I can deal with Stalin. He is honest--but smart as hell."
"If your goal in life is to never be tarred and labelled as 'a Conspiracy Theorist'...
Then, what are you doing...?"
Oliver Stone's Untold History of The United States E01 "The Churchill Gang Killed Your Father!" from Spike EP on Vimeo.
Roosevelt was a man of dangerous moral character" - Winston Churchill
"Churchill has been a Fascist for 30 years!" - Elanor Roosevelt, 1943
Communism was the wave of the future, and world socialism was historically inevitable.
This is what EVERYONE thought, felt or believed.
The Nightmare that haunted Winston Churchill's every waking moment was any bilateral FDR/Stalin Dialogue in his absence.
FDR cabled to the Soviet leader on April 5: “It would be one of the great tragedies of history if at the very moment of the victory, now within our grasp, such distrust, such lack of faith should prejudice the entire undertaking after the colossal losses of life, material and treasure involved. Frankly I cannot avoid a feeling of bitter resentment toward your informers, whoever they are, of such vile misrepresentations of my actions or those of my trusted subordinates.” [Abramson, 394]
"In 1939, 937 Jews trying to flee Hitler’s Germany chartered the liner, St. Louis, to take them to Cuba where some had relatives. But learning of this, Hitler successfully pressured the Cuban government into turning them away. The ship’s captain [Gustav Schröder] then polled his charges for instructions, and they voted to proceed to the United States. And as the mighty liner headed in our direction, they wired ahead asking for asylum. And it was on the order of Roosevelt himself, that their request was denied. As the ship continued north hoping for refuge in Canada, Roosevelt’s Treasury Secretary, Henry Morgenthau, Jr.—who was both Jewish and Roosevelt’s neighbor at Hyde Park— and Post Master General, the very Catholic Jim Farley, asked the president to reconsider, and his reply was the essence of the man:
‘What you two don’t understand,’ he said, ‘is that this is a white man’s, protestant country, and you Jews and Catholics live here at our sufferance.’
Variations of this quote appear in both Farley and Morgenthau’s diaries, with Morgenthau adding: “why do I work for this man?” "
