Citizen's of Hungary try to throw out the Communist party dictator's. Unfortunately the mass murdering Communists prevailed. Would have to live under brutal Communists for another 30 plus years.

Oh dear. The insurrectionists tried to throw out the "will of the people", also known as the communists?

Tsk, tsk.

Ike was president and the majority in congress was democrat. Ike went through WW2 and was probably reluctant to intervene in the Hungarian revolution except to take in refugees. Apparently the CIA was clueless and democrats were supporting communism at home.

The one bright point for the west is it caused schisms in the western Communist parties. Same thing happened in 1968 after the Prague Spring was suppressed.

Ike's opponent Adlai Stevenson spent his campaign criticizing McCarthy's allegedly harsh treatment of domestic communists. Democrats were soft on communism in 1956 and still are.

An Enemy Is Greed's Best Friend

The Communist would train and arm revolutionaries, sending them back to their home countries fully prepared to overthrow the non-Communist government. But our State Department wouldn't do the same behind the Iron Curtain.

Don't take the purposely misleading explanations (such as from the John Birch Society) that were planted to hide the true motive—dragging out the Cold War in order to provide decades more funding for the military-industrial complex.

The CIA hasn't been on top of any major world event since Wild Bill Donovan's amateurs were getting in the way of the military in WW2
