Kennedy’s election gave the liberals an opening to bring a lot of old discredited security risks back into government service. Not long after the election, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Bobby Kennedy met with State Department security chief Otto Otepka to discuss the possibility of obtaining security clearance for one Walt Whitman Rostow, a one-worlder who had once written a book calling for "an end to nationhood," and had been chosen to be J.F.K.’s chief foreign-policy planner. Otepka was stunned. Rostow, he knew, had been denied security clearance three times during the Eisenhower administration.
In reading "Treason" it seems the same damned names reoccurred in one DemocRAT administration after another.
Not all the Venona transcripts have been released...my speculation is that ALL the DemocRATs have been used by the Socialists, and the ones who "resisted" were blackmailed and coerced otherwise.
I think the rest of the transcripts would reveal this and are being squashed like the Dead Sea scrolls...kept from the "masses" that might not like what they see.
Yes, imagine what we don't know. The Vietnam antiwar movement was funded and organized by the Kremlin. Imagine how many American names are in the KGB files about that.
