That he was a termite eating away at the foundation of America. And sooner or later, the House is going to collapse. Essentially the same charge that the investigators at the House Committee on Un-American Activities were making against all the people they were investigating.

And I suspect that's largely because they had all the authentic communists that they could call before communists or former communists that they could call before Congress, whereas Chaplin had never been in the party. So what exactly were they going to ask him?

Yes, yes, because they were consistently spread and re-spread and re-spread again for a period of over 10 years, 12, 14 years. And it was a classic campaign of disinformation that had no – in most cases had zero relation to reality. there were some hilariously lunatic stories that hit the public prints of the things that Charlie Chaplin was supposedly involved in.

At one point there was a story, this is in the late 1940s, when the British and the Irgun were fighting the war in Palestine. And it was said that Chaplin was aiding the Irgun in slaughtering British soldiers, helping slaughter British soldiers. Well, he'd never been involved with the Irgun in any way.

My favorite of these lunatic disinformation stories came actually after he'd been kicked out of the country, when it was printed that he was going to adopt the children of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who had just been put to death. And again, a complete lunacy, but... there was this steady drip, drip, drip of lunatic disinformation.

And gradually, the people that were prone to believe it, believed it. And the people that were not prone to believe it, gradually began to think, well, maybe.
