Alger Hiss was part of a secret Communist cabal bent on destroying the United States. Hiss in concert with Dean Acheson, Harry D. White, and others who willfully infiltrated the US government to subvert it for the benefit of Soviet Russia. In 1946 Hiss became president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace a radical leftwing foundation that is closely tied to espionage and actions that run strongly contrary to the best interests of the United States. Fortunately Hiss ended up in Federal Prison for his crimes.

Alger Hiss was born in Baltimore on 11th November, 1904. Education
Under Graduate: John Hopkins University (Chinese spy Owen Lattimore was also associated with JHU)
Graduate: Harvard Law School (1926-29)
Secretary for Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Associate of Soviet spy Harry D. White
Dean Acheson Assistant Secretary of State from 1941 to 1945 and a key actor with Alger Hiss in the Bretton Woods Conference.
Dean Acheson maintained his close association with Alger Hiss after Hiss's spying became common knowledge and allowed security at the US Department of State to remain lax despite evidence of Soviet spies.

"Moreover, you seem totally unaware of the new documents Allen Weinstein and Alexander Vassiliev received for their book The Haunted Wood, which provide further substantiation for the Venona file: new hard evidence from KGB files that offer further proof that Hiss was indeed a Soviet agent. The Venona message you cite is but one stone making up a virtual mountain of evidence. I'm afraid that you, the journalist (not historian) Victor Navasky, and the historian Ellen Shrecker are like those forlorn Japanese soldiers deep in the jungle of a Pacific isle, who surfaced a few years ago still fighting decades after their own government surrendered. Please. Give it up. Alger Hiss is a lost cause!" The Redhunter and The View From Alger's Window Eric Alterman
