The Dodd Report – Righting History & Dispelling Myths
We have found many have trouble dispelling lies told about Thomas Jefferson, Christopher Columbus, Ben Franklin, and many other great men from history.
An investigation, performed by the United States Senate in the 50s, revealed a plot performed by Communists during the Cold War to disenfranchise Americans from our heritage, using smear campaigns.
This report found millions of dollars had been spent publishing falsehoods, even creating false evidence to try to make good men appear wicked, or even just common.
This report was highly controversial, so much so that it was very nearly not published for fear of the member’s safety. By the time it was published, another smear campaign had lessened the credibility of its members in the eyes of many Americans.
The truth, however, does not rely upon popularity to remain true and relevant.
