You’ve got to give the Left credit. It has an extensive agenda, a long memory and when it seizes power, it rolls as many of its agenda items, even the ancient ones, through the gate. Compare that to how little conservatives get done when in office. And how little of the things the Left does they reverse.
This is a seemingly unimportant example, but also a reminder of how comprehensive the Left’s agenda is, how it encompasses the past, present and the future. Lefties never let anything go.
And never pass up an opportunity to rewrite history.
The Biden administration has reversed a decades-old decision to revoke the security clearance of Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist called the father of the atomic bomb for his leading role in World War II’s Manhattan Project.
U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said the 1954 decision by the Atomic Energy Commission was made using a “flawed process” that violated the commission’s own regulations.
“As time has passed, more evidence has come to light of the bias and unfairness of the process that Dr. Oppenheimer was subjected to while the evidence of his loyalty and love of country have only been further affirmed,” Granholm said in a statement on Friday.
The actual evidence that came out was that Oppenheimer did it.
A Soviet spy chief’s memoirs published here today claim that the late J. Robert Oppenheimer, head of the U.S. atomic bomb project during and after World War II, passed nuclear secrets to Soviet agents.
The allegations were made by Gen. Pavel Sudoplatov, who was in charge of efforts to obtain atomic secrets from the West, and excerpts of them ran in the Sunday Telegraph. Time magazine will print excerpts in today’s issue.
The memoirs charge that Oppenheimer, a University of California physicist known as “the father of the atomic bomb,” condoned and assisted in the flow of vital nuclear secrets.
Sudoplatov charges that Elizabeth Zarubina, wife of the Soviet intelligence head in Washington, cultivated Oppenheimer socially.
Zarubina persuaded Oppenheimer to share atomic secrets with “anti-fascists of German origin,” Sudoplatov says.
The memoir, “Special Tasks,” declares: “We received reports on the Manhattan Project from Oppenheimer and his friends in oral form, through comments and asides, and from documents transferred through clandestine methods with their full knowledge that the information they were sharing would be passed on.
“In all there were five classified reports made available by Oppenheimer describing the progress of work on the atomic bomb.”
The Russians also received photos of the facilities at Oak Ridge, the book says.
“The Soviet bomb was constructed in three years,” Sudoplatov says. “Without the intelligence contribution, there could have been no Soviet bomb that quickly.”
Oppenheimer’s actions could have led to the deaths of millions of people and eventually far more than that.
Long before that, Edward Teller put his career on the line to denounce Oppenheimer. That helped marginalize Teller, the father of the H-bomb, and made him a pariah among lefties to whom the highest possible honor was helping the USSR and the highest possible disgrace was informing on Communists.
And then there’s the Merkulov letter which also revealed Oppenheimer’s complicity with the USSR.
In short, all of the “new evidence” actually makes it clear that Oppenheimer was collaborating with the USSR.
And all of this will also be ignored by the Biden administration and the media who don’t actually know any of the history or care.
And watch for some media fact checkers to issue a ruling of ‘false’ or ‘lacks context’ on this post to block it from Facebook and Google.
We live in a new leftist empire. An empire of lies.
Well, the Soviets got the bomb mainly through intelligence/espionage work. Not to denigrate Soviet nuclear physicists. My favorite story is that during the era of Lysenkoism under Stalin, which only ended after Stalin’s death, the only genuine scientists that survived were the nuclear physicists, because Stalin wanted the bomb so badly.
The Soviets did a lot of espionage out of San Francisco. We used to joke about that at the Berkeley Chess Club, because we knew a lot of the Russian chess players. And how postal chess games were really messages in code 🙂
A lot about Russian espionage was known to USA, due to the Venona Project, but which was kept even more secret than the “Ultra Secret”, two brilliant cryptography/code breaking projects.
Nowadays it’s hard to imagine we have any secrets, what with ChiCom agents having flooded the country.
Feynman, of course, wrote some great stuff about the Manhattan Project.
Ooops, I should have pointed out that the Soviets had one of their 2 major USA embassies in San Francisco. I just assumed everyone knew that already.
In 2017, Trump ordered the post closed. Before the consulate was closed, smoke was seen billowing out of the building, suggesting sensitive materials were being destroyed
Espionage
Members of the United States intelligence community considered the Russian consulate a major hub of Russian espionage operations, tasked with gaining information about developments from Silicon Valley. In 1984, a United States government report indicated that there may have been approximately 50 Soviet spies operating out of the San Francisco Consulate, primarily targeting Silicon Valley.
Russian diplomats based out of the consulate were mapping where underground nodes connected to the national fiber-optic communication network
A network of antennas and other electronic communication equipment was located on the roof of the consulate building and was used to transmit information to submarines or trawlers located off the Pacific coast in international waters.
Oooops, one more thing I didn’t mention because it was so obvious that I assumed everyone already knew it. Oppenheimer was at UC Berkeley for many years (right across the bridge from San Francisco) and established UC Berkeley as “greatest school of theoretical physics the United States has ever known”, according t0 Hans Bethe.
Next, the Dems will lobby Biden to give the Rosenbergs a full pardon!
wouldn’t surprise me in the least, and I mean that
Now that is a depressing thought.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And erect staues of Benedict Arnold and Major Andre’ at West Point!!!
How long before Boden issues Benidict Arnold Stamp? this Traitor and fake President
Sleep Joe the grifter is one of those domestic enemies of the Constitution that those of us who swore an oath to defend it against know about only too well.
His particular judgment will be most unpleasant.
“Sleepy Joe”doesn’t really”LIE”,he just Makes it Up as he goes along??????????
Double speak and the memory hole was meant to be fiction or Orwell’s commentary on communism.
Oh, I see what he was getting at now.
I’d like to point out that Oppenheimer died in February 1967. But, now, his security clearance is reinstated. Does this mean he can vote again, too?
This is the type of thing that Jennifer Granholm can point to as her greatest lifetime achievement.
Must be nice to be that caught up!
Granholm is low IQ and obviously not a history buff and well out of her league in Dept of Energy. Where do we get such stupid incompetent people running massive bureaucracies? It starts with the criminal in the WH.
The Left knows NOTHING about true, documented, provable History and they don’t care. History is simply that boring “required” course “I had to take in college,” that was taught by “old white men,” and “I don’t know why I had to take it or care what it was about.” To the Left history is just that current lie that is released by the latest Leftist voice that will be revised and revised until it is eliminated and replaced by another lie, but first it must be spewed and passed around by every ignorant hardcore Leftist until in the end no one recognizes the original fabrication. In all their understanding of the past is of no importance to them when there is a world to concur and destroy in the doing, and in so doing they make themselves as irrelevant as they make History and something to be eventually destroyed by another Leftist who cares nothing about them. If you want to understand the Left, just think of a fifty-gallon oil drum full of rats feasting on itself as they continue to procreate, and their entire world consists of only the carnage within the drum. There is NOTHING attractive about the Left.
America hating Leftists in the Democrat Party are no longer hiding anything. Biden is just a dementia ridden puppet place holder. He’s so corrupt and always has been that he was the best one to install for the true power behind him. The globalists have been very successful installing leaders around the world. It’s remarkable how quickly everything crumbled, they’ve been working on this for a long time behind the scenes. Republicans are so weak and complicit in all of this. The American people are mostly sheep and they’re more concerned about their next iPhone or what Disney movies coming out. Sad state of affairs.
This is why there is a solution written in the declaration of independence, “deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.”
WAR is coming
Seriously? Getting your panties in a wad over a guy who died in 1967? What a waste of time.
Demoncraps are communist. Everyone knows this so how the hell did they get kontrol of your government? Why RINO’s, of course.
Don’t tell me commieKKKrat party is not the new and improve CPUSA.
Meanwhile the J6 protestors still languish in horrible conditions in the DC prison under sadistic guards. But, but, but, Trump colluded with Russia to win his “illegitimate” election? Laugh or cry?
