Seems a fine time to mention that Vladimir Putin is a former KGB agent and a proud Soviet revanchist. I’m sure he’s quite happy about the contributions of American communists and traitors to the Soviet nuclear program.

‘The main culprit in this ugly tale, according to the author, is Roy Cohn, Joe McCarthy’s chief counsel, “who taught former President Donald Trump his brash, wholly deranged style of politics.”’

It’s an interesting story, except for the fact that Cohn was right, McCarthy was right, and Trump is right.

It’s pretty much for certain that Oppenheimer was a Soviet sympathizer who enabled the transfer nuclear weapons information to the USSR.

I doubt Truman stripped Oppenheimer’s security clearance just because of some remarks he made at dinner.

Good column.

President Obama's mother was a dedicated communist, as were his grandparents and black "tutor".

Let's never miss an opportunity to push one's ridiculous propaganda, no matter how irrelevant to the subject.

I guess you are getting paid by the post.

“ proud Soviet revanchist”

I admire people who are proud of their country. Wish we had some in our government.

Oppenheimers name was on the Verona Files list. Was he a Soviet spy or just a prime target?

They supposedly kept Albert Einstein out of the Manhattan Project because of his “radicalism”.

Not good, considering the people with real communist connections in the project!!

Sadly a number of scientists were fascists (communists).

That is because they wanted unlimited funding for their research and believed the best way to get it was from a government who could control everything. Because of course such a wise and benevolent entity would understand how important it was to do vivisection on humans to see how things work. The pursuit of knowledge was all. And those who were “lessers” should just get with the program and understand that their being thrown into the maw of the machine was a good thing.

That they would end up being ground up themselves never crossed their minds because while they were intelligent they were not very smart and certainly not wise.

Putin was a low-level KGB agent, who later helped work against the coup to return the communists to power!!!!

I wish that we had Democrats who do the equivalent thing in our country!!!!

Frank Marshall Davis. He was exiled to Hawaii along with any Communist as they could keep an eye on them in Hawaii.

I remember from the book in ‘Enola Gay’ that when they were looking at Oppenheimer they had the wrong guy. The author of the book stated that a scientist named David Greenglass was an actual Soviet spy, passing atomic secrets to the Soviets, not Oppenheimer.

I agree. And he was misled by all his communist relatives and friends.

Now we have communist useful idiots in every city and every major university. Lord have Mercy!!

Back in the day, Oppenheimer was regarded with the Rosenberg’s and Klaus Fuchs. The left never forgets its heroes.
