Speaking with Human Events host Jack Posobiec on Friday, former Trump advisor Roger Stone spoke on the true story of J. Robert Oppenheimer and the communist infiltration of the United States.
"I watched Oppenheimer, and I thought I was going to be treated to a movie about the building of the atomic bomb, America’s victory in World War II, a very rah rah patriotic film focusing on science. That’s not what the film was about at all," said Posobiec, who added that the film by Christopher Nolan "really seemed to answer the question as to whether or not Oppenheimer was a communist."
Posobiec said the film only showed about 10 minutes of an atomic bomb test, the Trinity Test in New Mexico, while instead, he said, Americans are fed committee hearings where "Republicans are portrayed as the enemy, going after these brave American liberals like Oppenheimer."
"What is the true story of Oppenheimer and the communist infiltration of it in the United States, starting back in the 30s, all the way through?" he asked Stone.
Stone said that the movie was a "typical Hollywood attempt to rewrite history," adding that the Los Alamos Project "was infiltrated by commie spies — Klaus Fuchs specifically, [David] Greenglass, these people passed our atomic secrets on to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, both of whom were convicted of spying for the Soviet Union and ultimately executed. Fuchs himself would be imprisoned for his role as a Soviet spy."
In regards to Oppenheimer the movie, Posobiec noted that "none of these people are even discussed, they’re not mentioned," and that the audience is told that the characters that do appear were "just, you know, patriotic American scientists who happen to have a little bit left of center ideals, and they’ve been reading a bit of [Friedrich] Engels and wanted to inject that to help the common man."
Stone replied that Fuchs at the time the film is set in was "reporting at that point to the KBG."
"There is no question that the entire Manhattan Project is infiltrated," and with the information that was given to Russia, they "developed an atomic weapon two years earlier than American intelligence thought they would do."
"So all of this is airbrushed out of the picture and Oppenheimer himself was likely a Communist. He’s not just a well-meaning liberal who didn’t want to drop the atomic bomb on Japan because he cared about all these Asian people," he added.
Stone said he believes that Oppenheimer was part of the "cell of communists that infiltrated the Manhattan Project," but noted that "we will never know for certain, but the circumstantial evidence is pretty overwhelming."
Posobiec said that Oppenheimer was shown in the film to have a communist mistress, wife, and brother, and lent money to the Communist cause in the Spanish Civil War, "but there’s no possible way that he himself could have ever been one and that was just because he cared about the United States so very much."
"Are we really to believe that this man had no knowledge of what was going on there?" he asked.
"If you look like a communist, you smell like a communist, you walk like a communist, you’re most likely communist. If all of your associates are communist, you’re most likely a communist," said Stone. "This is an attempt to deify Oppenheimer."
Stone noted that Edward Teller barely shown in the film, a "patriotic American" scientist known as the father of the hydrogen bomb.
"This is a propaganda piece which I think glosses over the high probability that Oppenheimer himself was involved in a communist cell, which ultimately leaked our most sensitive atomic secrets to the Soviet Union," he said.
"The idea that the Soviets would be able to penetrate directly into the Manhattan Project, which of course overtly was not shared with them, doesn’t it speak to potentially a larger infiltration within the American government," Posobiec asked.
Stone said that this infiltration continued into the 1960s with the Bay of Pigs invasion, which when it was launched, it was "absolutely clear that leaks in US intelligence mean that Fidel Castro knows where they’re coming, the Bay of Pigs, and when they’re coming."
Posobiec said that the Oppenheimer film echoed a push "for the idea that the United Nations should then become a form of one world government, and they’re chasing this idea of a one world government and this globalist ideal, which does all the way back to Wilson and Geneva and the rest of it. But it looks as though, you know, communist China was the dowry for the Soviet Union to go along with the United Nations plan."
Stone said that "what they really want to do is do away with American sovereignty," adding that "the World Economic Forum is blunt about their plans."
"Although let me say this Jack, and I want to make it very clear. No matter what, I’m not eating any bugs, period."
