The Gravediggers
The Gravediggers was a bestselling political book in 1964 by Phyllis Schlafly, co-authored by Chester Ward (Rear Admiral, United States Navy (Ret.)).
This book is an early criticism of the Deep State. For example, this book deplored a statement by Arthur Silvester, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Information, on Dec. 6, 1962 that:
| “ | It's an inherent government right, if necessary, to lie to save itself.[1] | ” |
This candid admission by the Deep State of its "inherent government right ... to lie to save itself" was merely 4 months after Marilyn Monroe was found dead amid suspicious circumstances that included contacts with the highest level of government.
The "gravediggers" are liberals who used their positions in the Deep State to betray the interests of average Americans.
At 119 pages long plus pages of endnotes, this opposed a policy of appeasement and supported military strength against communism.
This book supported General Barry Goldwater for president.
The Liberal Papers
This book exposes The Liberal Papers (March 1962), which was propaganda by about 40 Deep State pseudo-intellectuals with 35 Leftist Democrat congressmen.[2]
