Gitmo terrorists and Rosenbergs’ descendants; unholy alliance of hate

The question; “why did meatbrain care about me discussing the Rosenbergs and their granddaughter, Rachel Meeropol?” Meatbrain cared so much that he saved my page to his server.

Now granted, if meatbrain is in fact Terry Bisson as we suspect, then it is understandable that he would join the Rosenbergs’ grandchildren in spreading the lie that the Rosenbergs were innocent.

Sobell’s confession

Sobell still maintains that the information he passed along to America’s enemies wasn’t especially significant, but he has at last abandoned the pretence, which he maintained for nearly half a century, that he was never a Soviet agent.

Sobell’s confession is not coincidental. It came just days before the National Archives released long-secret grand jury testimony in the world famous Rosenberg espionage case. Nevertheless, it has definitively shattered one of the enduring myths of the progressive Left. For generations of leftists, the innocence of the Rosenbergs was an article of faith. It bolstered their self-image as noble, if misunderstood idealists, forever doomed to persecution by a corrupt American system. Columbia University professor Eric Foner’s claim that the Rosenberg’s were singled out as part of “a determined effort to root out dissent” was a typical expression of the Left’s revisionism. Sobell’s admission has exposed it as self-serving nonsense. The Rosenbergs’ were in fact guilty as charged.

Of course they were; the Venona Cables proved McCarthy right AND the Rosenbergs’ guilt. But you wouldn’t know any of that when reading the headlines from our watchdog media.

This much is apparent even to the Rosenbergs’ staunchest supporters: their children. Until Sobell’s confession, the Rosenbergs’ sons, Robert and Michael Meeropol, had championed their parents’ innocence. Even when declassified documents proved that Americans really had been spying for the Soviet Union, the Meeropols refused to acknowledge that their parents had been among them. As recently as two years ago, the Rosenbergs’ granddaughter, Rachel Meeropol, insisted that they “weren’t guilty of what they were convicted of.” But even for the Meeropols, this defense is now indefensible. Michael Meeropol told the New York Times after Sobell’s confession, “I don’t have any reason to doubt Morty.”

Rachel Meeropol is merely a product of her communist background, as are the rest of the Rosenberg descendants. They play out of the marxist playbook, and Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”, just like our president now does.

The fact of the Rosenbergs’ guilt is of more than academic interest. During the Cold War, communist fellow travelers sought to undermine national security by exaggerating America’s abuses, often citing the Rosenbergs as an example. The trend continues today, as anti-war activists seek to portray terrorist captives as blameless victims caught in America’s clutches. It is no coincidence that Rachel Meeropol is a lawyer for the Center for Constitutional Rights, which represents Guantanamo detainees. As Larry Schweikart observes, “The modern-day Rosenbergs are the defendants in the Guantanamo Bay court cases that will be coming up.”

Their voices chime in with those of Code Pink, International ANSWER and the rest – for closing Gitmo, bringing the terrorists into our court system, and releasing them onto our streets. With communists, anarchists and gangs also causing millions of dollars of property damage and assaulting Americans at protests where the police do little to protect them- disaster beyond that whi looms.

May God help us.
