Communism in America: Red Peas in a Pod

[PoliticalChic]

11. Communists and Soviet spies throughout his administration....what do you suppose Franklin Roosevelt's attitude toward them was?
Probably enraged, huh?
Maybe went right to the FBI and lit a fire?

Nope.


a. The major player in the Alger Hiss saga was fellow Communist, Whitaker Chambers. In his book, Witness, Chambers explains is disillusionment as follows. In 1938, he determined not only to break with the Communist Party, but to inform on the Party when he could. The reason was that he was informed that Stalin was making efforts to align with Hitler, in 1939, and “from any human point of view, the pact was evil.”

As Hitler marched into Poland, Chambers arranged a private meeting with Adolf Berle, President Roosevelt’s assistant Sec’y of State. Chambers detailed the Communist espionage network, naming at least two dozen Soviet spies in Roosevelt’s administration, including Alger Hiss. Berle reported this to Roosevelt, who laughed, and told Berle to go f--- himself.
Arthur Herman, "Joseph McCarthy: Reexaming the Life and Legacy of America’s Most Hated Senator," p. 60

No action was taken, and in fact, Roosevelt promoted Hiss.



There you have it....Karl Marx, the Frankfurt School, Franz Neumann....Franklin Roosevelt

And that's just some of the Red Peas in the Pod.

So....the best you can do is "is not, is not....waaaaaaa!"

Let me reprise what you had written on each and every report card you received: INCOMPETENT!

actually, I graduated with honors, thanks.

But you keep being a living Chick Track.

12. How about just one more of the 'Red peas' in that pod?
Sure.

I'd be remiss not to mention Harry Hopkins....Roosevelt's live-in adviser.


#9 above refers to the spymaster, NKVD officer Elizabeth Zarubina, who ran Franz Neumann.
Her husband was KGB spychief and 'diplomat' Vasily Zarubin (aliasZubilin)


Harry Hopkins...perhaps Roosevelt's closest adviser....who lived in the White House, actually warned spies when the FBI was onto them!

a. " ...from another Soviet source, the Mitrokhin archive, which tells us that “earlier in the year he [Hopkins] had privately warned the Soviet embassy in Washington that the FBI had bugged a secret meeting at which Zarubin (apparently identified by Hopkins only as a member of the embassy) had passed money to Steve Nelson, a leading member of the U.S. Communist underground.”
(Andrew and Mitrokhin, Sword and Shield, p.111.)



.... Hopkins blew an ongoing FBI surveillance operation by revealing to the Soviet embassy that a Soviet official had been bugged delivering money to the American Communist underground. Never mind that this Soviet chain of activity was in flagrant violation of the 1933 terms of U.S. diplomatic recognition prohibiting espionage activities in this country. The footnote to the statement cites Mitrokhin’s archive (vol. 6, ch. 12) and further notes, “Hopkins had been personally briefed by Hoover on Zarubin’s visit to Nelson. Hoover would doubtless have been outraged had he known that Hopkins had informed the Soviet embassy.”
(Andrew and Mitrokhin, Sword and Shield, 594.)

13. And....this interesting aside:
Averell Harriman was special envoy of FDR. "At theTehran Conferencein late 1943 Harriman was tasked with placating a suspicious Churchill while Roosevelt attempted to gain the confidence of Stalin."
W. Averell Harriman - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia


Harriman made this interesting observation:
"When Stalin saw him [Hopkins] enter the conference room [Tehran]he got up, walked across the room and shook hands with him. I never saw him do that to anybody, even Roosevelt. He [Hopkins] was the only man I ever saw Stalin show personal emotion for."
Encounter Magazine interview, 1981.



Such was the nest of vipers.
Oh...did I mix metaphors....snakes and peas in a red pod???

So sorry.

Sadly, she just doesn't realize how crazy she sounds, and no one in her life is willing to tell her.
