Americans spent a huge amount of money on a war that did not exist and wasn't going to. And Americans got a taste of communism themselves with McCarthyism.

The McCarthy hearings and the resultant blackballing of certain citizens who had committed no crimes also gave Americans an inside look at fascism.

There are several ways to find out if you feel you are being black balled but since this would be a difficult accusation to prove, the one I would chose as being the best is consulting with a private investigator. The one I was impressed with was ICS, phone number 800-828-9198, they have a free consultation and will let you know if your case is of merit. Also they would be considered an impartial witness to your case. You can hire them to pose as a potential employer and contact your employer you believe is blackballing you, they will more than likely tape the conversation. Blackballing can be as little as a gesture, a tone of voice or by direct slander. Remember also, as with most cases, the longer you wait to prove your case, the harder it will be to win. Good luck to you.

I was told to contact the DOL. (Department of Labor). I'm in the process of doing the same thing. I filed a discrimination lawsuite on my employer with the EEOC. A lot of good that did, they sided with the employer after only speakingto them once. They told me they said they didn't. And that was that. Now I can't get a job as of the last three years.
