Truman was not at Yalta

Yes you are correct. Thanks for the correction. I confused the Yalta conference with the Pottsdamn Conference.

Pottsdamn was held in August 1945 to implement the Yalta agreement. Pottsdamn was the conference where the events I wrote about took place. Churhill was defeated in his re-election effort during Pottsdamn and was replaced by Clement Attlee.

Truman complained bitterly that Attlee gave in to every one of Stalin's demands.

It was during that conference that Truman learned the Atomic Bomb worked. Truman told Stalin about the bomb and Stalin did not seem surprised. Truman concluded that Stalin knew all about our Atomic project.

Had we not developed the Atomic Bomb it was estimated that taking Japan would cost 1 million American lives. Both Roosevelt and Truman had worked to get Stalin to commit Russian forces to the invasion of Japan. Stalin agreed but wanted Eastern Europe as pay. That is primarily why Stalin got eastern Europe.

As it turned out the Atomic Bomb fixed it so we did not need Stalin's help ... so we gave up eastern europe for 50 years and got nothing in return.

In retrospect many of the agreements made at Yalta were disastrous (e.g., the division of Korea), but could have seemed at the time like the best that could be obtained..

That was the excuse John Gunther and other apologists for FDR used just a few years after Yalta. The truth is FDR surrounded himself with Soviet sympathizers and spies while ignoring the advice of those opposed Stalin.

How could Roosevelt have held weak cards at Yalta?

He made the decision to arm Russia without any compensation while at the same time exacting payments from England for the same thing.

What were these so-called weak cards? Was Russia so strong that FDR was forced to cave in and donate so many Christian nations to his beloved Uncle Joe's loving care?

I thought Oppenheimer turned out to be a Communist. He ran the Mannhattan project. When Ike found out that McCarthy knew about the connection and the Army's role in it, he stepped in to block the investigations and left McCarthy hanging in the wind.

My recollection (admittedly less than perfect) is that Oppenheimer was a suspected sympathizer and/or had several friends who were at least marginally involved, but it was never proved he (Oppenheimer) had an active involvement with the Communist party.

I'll have to re-read a bunch of stuff (most of which I have loaned out to friends, never to be seen again)to get my facts straight.

I'm not sure either. I have this from Stephen Ambrose's 1990 edition of Eisenhower's Biography (Eisenhower Soldier and President), page 340:

"Wilson told the President, over the telephone, that he had just received a report on Oppenheimer. It consisted of a letter from William Borden, the former director of the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy, to the Secretary of Defense. Borden charged that it was "more likely than not that J. Robert Oppenheimer is a Communist spy."

I'd have to poke around other sources to check it out thoroughly. Ambrose was a big lefty and may have covered for Oppenheimer in this book.

Wilson is Charles E. Wilson, Ike's Secretary of Defense.

Thanks for the link, ACG. I, too, hope books like Ann's help open minds to the facts but it's an uphill battle against all the might of the media, the public schools and academia. They will fight fiercely to preserve the myths they've so carefully cultivated in the popular mind.

LOL!!

I think Hoover was too busy battling the Kennedy mob to do his job. But who knows. More information will appear as the lefties stranglehold on power diminishes.

Looks like another thread going over here.
