Ha Ha. A "Red Scare" in the 50's? How about one now? Arguably the Commies have succeeded.

One of those news items where you think once again the Babylon Bee have excelled themselves, and then you look at the source and you feel you are in the twilight zone. This is happening more and more often these days.

https://www.unz.com/article/was-robert-oppenheimer-a-soviet-agent/

I have read Sudopltov’s book and others realted to Oppenheimer. It appears that Oppenheimer (and many other of the top nuclear scientists) were not controlled agents. He might not even have been aware of being surrounded by Soviet agents, but in the end he would not have cared, because he felt he had the right to divulge the physics of the bomb to the world. Is that a person who should have a security clearance?

"Oppenheimer’s past connections with communism and communists also played a role.

Julius & Ethel Scumberg cannot be far behind as historical revisionism accelerates...

During the last hundred years, in every country taken over by the communists, historical revisionism is one of the first bucket-list items to be checked off...

Robert Oppenheimer was reached for a comment and he said, “this is an explosive decision!”

Senator McCarthy was right.

Give it time....they’ll eventually apologize to someone for the Rosenbergs’ sentencing.

Twilight zone and outer limits combined with 1984.

Years ago, I read General Groves’ book, “Now It Can Be Told.” Groves made a pretty convincing case that Oppenheimer had absolutely been the right man for the job. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. In three years, he led the development of not one but two different working atom bomb designs. That’s pretty freaking amazing, when the notion of a large-scale chain reaction atomic explosive weapon was theoretical not something that actually was even close to existing. He got the job done, and the bombs beat Japan.

But it’s pretty silly to reinstate the security clearance of a guy who’s been dead for nearly 56 years.

Oppenheimer’s brother was an identified CPUSA member as I recall. So we’re others surrounding him over the years.

Should be a lot of additional information in books by top government intelligence personnel including Herbert Romerstein (and co-authors in some of his books), historians including John Haynes, Harvey Khlers, their once Soviet citizen historians co-authors and probably some people from the British MI6, or even the Israeli Mossad.

The other big US security risk in the nuclear weapons/programs was Harold Urey, who may have protected Soviet spies, as well as US Communists who worked in th e nuclear programs. This has still not been thoroughly investigated, believe me!

Remember, the Democrats and their leftist allies in Congress and in State/Local Governments ordered police intelligence files destroyed in the 1970s in alliance with hardcore leftist Sen. Frank Church (D- Id?), leader of the infamous Church Committee which did a tremendous amount of deliberate damage to out internal security capabilities.

This also included Military Intelligence files, a major source of information on communists and their operations in the US and abroad.

Just ask yourself who gained the most from the destruction of these specific types of files, and why did the Democrats take the political leader in doing it. If you look at the background of some of them, Rep. Abzug (D-NY and reportedly an underground member of the CPUSA), Rep. John Conyers Jr., (D-Mich, also a top CPUSA affiliate, along with Rep. George Crockett Jr, D-Mich), Sen. Alan Cranston (D-CA, Office of War Information), and others, you will begin to understand
What has been going on since the 1930s and has been covered up since then.

Connections with communism will actually get you a security clearance today.

Patty Murray - Washington state’s 30-year in office liberal Senator has signed or co-signed 300+ bills (most of them never passed).

TWO of them had to do with VA benefits. The rest of them were all regarding awarding various medals/awards to people (military and civilian) and the naming of highways, buildings, etc.

Her main purpose in Congress is to vote yes on bills with a “D” next to them. No thinking required.

Red Scare, a time where U.S. politics was dominated by anti-communist sentiment.
_________

The Red Scare saved the World!
Stalin, Mao and their henchmen were dead set to rule the world and no defense against them was good enough.
They had tons of spies operating all over the world!
