Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report.

The United Nations (UN) is widely known as “The house that Hiss built.” So, who was Alger Hiss? He was a graduate of Johns Hopkins University ( Phi Beta Kappa), and of Harvard Law School, and was a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. In 1933, he entered government service in President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration, and served successively in the Departments of Agriculture, Justice, and State. He attended the Yalta Conference as an adviser to Roosevelt. He was instrumental in forming, and in promoting our joining, the United Nations and served as its first secretary-general at the San Francisco Conference. Soon thereafter he was indicted on two charges of perjury while testifying about communist activities and served jail time. Later it was determined that he was a communist spy for Russia.

In addition there have been disagreements over the roles of Turkey and the United States in Syria which inspired Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to go to Turkey in June of this year and work out a deal with his Turkish counterpart to avoid conflict there.

This report appears on Good Friday. This is good news day and if good news is out there, I will find it today. But first: who poisoned the Skripals? Did anyone actually poison them? It’s hard to be sure in our world. That’s because no government, and virtually no media, can be trusted to report the truth.
According to Rabbi Matis Weinberg, Amalek should be regarded not only as the sworn enemy of Israel, but of memory. Because Amalek is the enemy of significance, of transnational moral ideas and values.
