A soviet spy would lie? No friggen WAY!
In other news, the sky is blue and water is wet.
Soviet embassy cable traffic was intercepted and decoded under a program called VENONA. Spies are assigned code names, sometimes more than one to complicate matters for the enmey should their commuications be intercepted.
Julius had two code names, one of which was “LIBERAL”.
Nice to know the KGB has a sense of humor.
The liberals will still say the Rosenbergs were victims of Joseph McCarthy and J. Edgar Hoover, two men who were heroes in the war against communism.
“The sons’ desire to vindicate their parents spurred their political radicalism in the 1960s and 70s and led them to establish the Rosenberg Fund for Children, a charity for the children of leftist activists, which CRC described in this 2001 issue of Foundation Watch.”
They established a fund to do what. My goodness, half the people in the country would qualify for aid. Come to think of it, two are running for the top office in the land and one is Speaker of the House. So, what did this “fund” do? Stop the rest of America that is right of center or centered from shunning them? It surely wouldn’t be established for scholarships — 99.9% of college admissions offices would be honored to educate them for free.
I predict now the left will switch from
“They were innocent victims of anticommunist hysteria”
to
“Ok they did it but it was a noble thing they did. They were working for peace.”
I’m shocked... SHOCKED I say!!!
I can remember that a bunch of us “yutes”, in NYC’s Chelsea District, started a countdown to their execution. The Daily News had written that the Rosenbergs would be executed at xxx p.m., so when the time neared, we all stood around chanting “10 ... 9 ... etc.” When we hit one, we all made like we were throwing the lever to fire the electric chair. We were all certain they were traitors and had little sympathy for them - only those who read the Daily Worker were their defenders.
No Way!!!??? Really???
The NY Slimes finds this oh-so-revealing. Not that they have a problem with the notion of Americans passing on national secrets to evil regimes. Douchebags.
I’m surprised that Sobel admits he lied.
The New York Times reports that the sons of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg now accept that their father was a spy for the Soviet Union
We're about to elect a Communist terrorist collaborator for U.S. President.
Are we in a post-sanity America?
If Ethel was not guilty of espionage then Julius Rosenberg was truly a slimy character. Aside from committing treason and espionage he allowed his wife to face the electric chair, and his sons to become orphans, rather than come clean and spare his innocent wife. I think the evidence is fairly overwhelming she was just as actively involved as he was.
