Didn’t the Venona Papers clear this up?
as i recall, yes.
but old lefties can’t ever let go.
and NPR is nothing if not a home for old lefties.
Venona definitely established that Julius was a spy. But it appears that Ethel’s involvement was slight.
Yes, the Venona papers identified Ethel Rosenberg as one of the prime movers in Julius’ spy operation. If I remember correctly, she was involved in photographing the documents among other things.
John Haynes/Harvey Khler wrote a massive book entitled “Venona”. Followed up by Herbert Romerstein and possibly Eric Breindel with a book of similar name and subject.
Looks like Greenglass tried a last minute Rope-A-Dope on the US.
Read the ignorant replies and smears at the end of the NPR article. Pathetic but typical of liberals and their red friends.
Name of the co-defendant was Morton Sobell, who admitted that he was a Soviet spy after getting out of prison. Google his name and you will find the articles in which he made this admission.
His wife was just as bad as he was. Don’t know if she ever was openly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), but his first wife, also named Helen, was a Party member in the DC/MD group. A real nasty red bitch. I tangled with her years ago. Her husband, Casey, was also a DC Party member.
She had ties to a suspected Soviet spies named Abe Bloom and Alfred Hensley (Takoma Park, Md).Bloom lied to authorities about being a communist while he worked at the National Bureau of Standards on the “Proximity fuse”, an integral part of the triggering mechanism of the A-bomb.
A smooth, cool character, a liar par excellence. One of the key DC leaders of the various Hanoi Lobby “united fronts” known as the various “Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam”, and then went with the Trotskyite split off faction known as NPAC, National Peace Action Coalition.
The communist web of subversion has NOT YET BEEN TOTALLY EXPOSED. I would say that they are two more spy rings that have never been exposed (I learned this from the late FBI undercover agent Herbert “I Led Three Lives” Philbrick”, one of my mentors.
There is also a strong possibility that a Soviet operation in Chicago had a direct connection to Obama and his network. Too many reds with Soviet ties show up in his past, from Frank Marshall Davis to David S. Canter (and Leroy Wolins), as well as Dr. Quentin Young and Milton Cohen, among others.
Think of communist operations in the US as one big-assed Gordian Knot that has not yet been completely unraveled. The Soviets were the best spies in history and we are still suffering from their American traitors and operations.
From what I’ve read, they did.....
