“Years ago, I read General Groves’ book...”
I am sitting in Leslie Groves Park right now.
“Without the intelligence contribution, there could have been no Soviet bomb that quickly.”

“Ha Ha. A “Red Scare” in the 50’s? How about one now? Arguably the Commies have succeeded.”
You are so right, very well said!
Just when a new movie is coming out about him.
How convenient.....................
Yes, there was Oppenheimer’s brother, his wife, his wife’s friend Steve Nelson, his ex-girlfriend Jean Tatlock. . .This was brought up during his security clearance hearing, along with evidence Oppenheimer had hired Communists to work at Los Alamos, had changed his story over time about being approached by Haakon Chevalier to spy for the Soviets, had worked to suspend the American H-bomb program. . .I’m only scratching the surface, but his security clearance was revoked after careful consideration with good reason. People who had previously supported him went to bat for him, including Eisenhower, and came away from a review of the evidence convinced he was a security risk. Granholm is perpetuating a cover-up of the extent of Soviet infiltration of the U.S. government prior to the Cold War and continuing into the time of Oppenheimer’s security review and beyond. Part of the backstory of his security review was that military intelligence had information that the Soviets had an espionage ring tied to some of the leading architects of U.S. foreign and nuclear policy, including Dean Acheson and John McCloy, both of whom were involved in Oppenheimer’s review behind the scenes and tried to pull strings to influence the outcome.
Yes, Urey was another one. There were many others who need to be looked into. Off the top of my head: Leo Szilard, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Linus Pauling, Bertrand Russell who was not a scientist but recruited scientists for antiwar groups linked to the Soviets. . .One important connection here involves collaboration between Russell, Einstein’s estate executor Otto Nathan, and Einstein’s translator Heinz Norden, who chaired an antiwar group Bill Clinton was active with in Britain when he went to visit Moscow (while his roommate Strobe Talbott was in contact with KGB recruiter Louis Jordan).
Also of interest is the activity of Marcus Raskin, father Jamie Raskin, at the Institute for Policy Studies, which maintains current ties to Biden.
A quick reply about Einstein and communists. He was their perfect dupe and got trapped by a Soviet “NKVD sandwich which consisted of his private secretary/librarian Helen Dukas and Otto Nathan, a member of the Communist Party of Germany and later in the US CPUSA.
See: “”The Venona Secrets: Exposing Soviet Espionage and America’s Traitors”, Herbert Romerstein and Eric Breindel, Refinery Publishing Inc, 2000 as versus liberal historian Walter Isaacson’s cover up book “Einstein: His Life and Universe”, Simon & Schuster, 2007, which basically downplayed who these people really.
You can tell the left still has Sacco & Vanzetti on its mind by the Google search results and Wikipedia page about them. It’s still a smoldering issue for the left. Thanks for the heads up on the book. I hadn’t heard of Muntzenberg.
Einstein was associated with at least 34 CP fronts after he moved to the US, continuing a pattern that began when he was in Germany in the Second International era before the Bolsheviks took over. He was recruited into Munzenberg’s operation and other Soviet front groups like the Society of the Friends of New Russia after he got involved in World War I antiwar activism through contacts like Romain Rolland. He let Soviet intelligence use his apartment in Germany as a mail drop. He also belonged to a front group of scientists which included atomic spy Klaus Fuchs.
Weren’t his wife and girlfriend and friends Communists, or something like that?

This is all audio, but it is fascinating to hear Oppenheimer speak in a lecture at UCLA in 1964...

I found this bio on Oppenheimer to be fascinating...

The Day After Trinity
The Criterion Channel
This essential, Academy Award–nominated documentary offers an urgent warning from history about the dangers of nuclear warfare via the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the enigmatic physicist and all-around Renaissance man who led the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb that America unleashed on Japan in the final days of World War II. Through extensive interviews and archival footage, THE DAY AFTER TRINITY traces Oppenheimer’s evolution, from architect of one of the most consequential endeavors of the twentieth century to an outspoken opponent of nuclear proliferation who came to deeply regret his role in ushering in the perils of the atomic age.

I agree with you on Church—the Church Committee did an amazing job—the Deep State had gotten way out of control.
The bad news is that they just took the “dirty laundry” and started hiding it deep in underground military bases where Congress could not find it.
