didn’t notice thread had picked up again. Yes, it does...similar body build. Man on couch looks short; can’t tell size from the other picture.
Fife seems credible to me, but neither the American or the Brit will come forward. Brit scared; American seems to have gotten stung by the business deal. From the interview it sounded like Fife thought it would be fruitless to contact him.
As for the diary, he gave his notes to the intelligence agency when he was debriefed.
One would need to compare all three interviews, but I don’t think he is making this up. So far, I haven’t found a single benefit he has gained or has tried to gain from coming forward.
Sounds credible to me. Funny how so many believed the Susan Blake ‘I changed his diaper’ story, the Eleanor Nordyke ‘I had twins on the same day in the same hospital’ and Barbara Nelson ‘I wrote his name on a table napkin’ and Mary Toutonghi ‘I baby sat’ - but when it comes to a physicist remembering a dinner conversation in Russia, the man who originally posted the story was called a troll and told to go away...

In 1922, the Russian Comintern provided $300,000 for the spreading of communist propaganda among Negroes. In 1925, the Communist Party U.S.A. told its members:
“The aim of our Party in our work among the Negro masses is to create a powerful proletarian movement which will fight and lead the struggle of the Negro race against the exploitation and oppression in every form and which will be a militant part of the revolutionary movement of the whole American working class ... and connect them with the struggles of national minorities and colonial peoples of all the world and thereby the cause of world revolution and the dictatorship of the proletariat.”

Freepers wolfcreek and ETL did their best I notice, but it wasn’t enough...no wonder Tom Fife sounded discouraged.
