Sad but most likely misunderstood. Many commnunists that sucessfully penetrate security and infiltrate government use the current blacklist items to their advantage. KGB agents become Jewish emigres, communinsts become anticommunist.

Communists, progressives, ideologues and the corrupted who have snaked their way into positions of influence, will cause persons such as your husband to be turned away while they bring another person in to replace him, someone who they can order around and who will add to their growing network.

This is not conspiracy drivel. Scientology tried to infiltrate and populate the IRS with its members in the 70's and 80's. Physicians from India took over residency programs in NYC in the 90's and accepted only politically designated progeny of wealthy members of India society.

On the other hand, maybe someone in GD's HR department was ordered to find a reason, any reason to turn away your husband, so that someone else could get the job.

Being a bricklayer and a fisherman are great occupations and in my opinion more honorable if pursued honestly.

I worked for NASA in the 80's in a high profile position, with alot of influence and weight. I can tell you that one of GD's premier Space Shuttle programs was laced with gross safety violations. The worst part was the management and staff tried to coverup the violations because they were under budgetary pressure. That is not only dishonest but criminal. I was very much a significant voice in canceling GD's STS program. That was in 1985.

I am sorry that you faced an injustice but I am surprised to find anyone in this life that has not. My advice to all is to make sure you get the facts before jumping to conclusions. Often all is not what it appears to be.
