PETER HITCHENS: There were Communists in US at the time of Oppenheimer
PETER HITCHENS: The film about Robert Oppenheimer is not just bad, noisy, hard to follow and far too long. It gets in the way of understanding one of the great events of our times.
Joe McCarthy was 100% right about everything.
He received the trump treatment before trump.
To enforce the religion called "Americanism". A hyper patriotic indoctrination to say Yes to every war since Vietnam, etc. The 'boomer' generation had the worst indoctrination of this type of religion. Can't think that the US govt would do anything but good to Americans and the world.
It's a real thing that has been studied, mostly abroad. Probably funded by the same 3-letter agency (ies) that started it.
As these were the kids born right at the end of WWII. The horror of Hiroshima, etc on their parents minds, uses the opportunity after a worldwide trauma to inflict a style of brainwashing.
Why do we keep having movies and TV shows tell us how bad anti-semitism is? That's what I want to know.
Communists.
What small, rootless, international clique did those "communists" belong to, I wonder...?
Hmm...I watched the film and can't wait to n see it again. When Oppenheimer was confronted as a communist sympathizer, it was made clear that one on his team was a Russian spy. Perhaps Peter Hitchens missed that part 🤯
