JULIUS AND ETHEL ROSENBERG---DON'T WEEP OR RAGE, BUT THINK

The WSJ is running a piece today about how the Left is still trying to claim that neither of the Rosenbergs spied for the Soviet Union, and is rallying huge support. Below is my treatment of the Rosenbergs back in '03 republished here for your entertainment and enlightenment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These two were convicted of spying for the Russians and executed on June 19th in 1953. There is no doubt that Julius Rosenberg was a Russian spy. The spare charges against his wife, Ethel, are suspect. In fact ex KGB spies say she wasn't a part of anything (LINK) . It was always clear that Julius collected data from brother-in-law David Greenglass and passed on to the Soviets. But Ethel did what, exactly? It is Ethel who keeps the Left fires burning and keeps everyone else thinking a lot.

A family that spies together lies together. Both Julius and Ethel had been members of the Communist Party and dropped out in 1943. Ethel had a brother named David Greenglass. Greenglass and his sweet wifiepoo Ruth, joined the Young Communist league the same year. It seems Julius and Ethel thought dropping out of the Party would make spying easier.

So Commie Greengrass gets drafted and eventually assigned to the Manhattan Project where the bomb is being made. His nineteen year old hard core Communist nut case wifiepoo is pining for him so she goes to New Mexico to "visit". During this "visit" she talks David into spying for the Russians (I know, a bad movie)

INT.MOTEL ROOM. NIGHT.TIGHT SHOT ON BED. RUTH AND DAVID
Naked and sweaty making love. The moonlight glistens off their sweaty skin. Her legs are wrapped around him as they pump madly.

RUTH
Oh God. David, David.....Tell me ....Oh, tell me you'll spy for the Russians and I'll come
DAVID
Oh Jesus, you're the best. The best. Oh, oh, oh, OK I'll spy.
RUTH
Ugh, ugh, for the Russians? For the Russians? Tell me, David. Tell me "for the Russians"..
DAVID
(screaming)Yes, yes, yes, I'll spy for the Russians.
RUTH
(screaming in ravishmental exaltation) Ahhhhhhh (Then... panting in his ear) If you steal something really good? I'll do something special with my mouth....
DAVID
I'll do it. I'll do it.

FADE TO BLACK

So David Greeglass agrees to steal whatever he can and pass the info to his brother-in-law Julius Rosenberg. There is no doubt that David Greenglass stole the design for the super secret implosion lens and then passed it on to Julius Rosenberg drawing by drawing and hand written note by by hand written note. Sometimes he passed them to a Soviet agent named Harry Gold who was also Fuch's bag man. Greenglass was a huge spy. So far, no Ethel.

When Klaus Fuchs, a major nuclear physicist and probably THE big spy at Los Alamos got caught, he ratted out everybody. Especially his bag man Harry Gold. Since Harry was also David Greenglass's bag man who passed the info to Julius Rosenberg many gooses were cooked. Everybody in the spy ring who didn't flee the country was arrested, and that included Ethel.

David Greenglass decided to rescue the ass of his pretty young wifeypoo "so she could be with the children" (ain't this too sweet for fucking words?).

INT.MOTEL ROOM.NIGHT.DAVID AND RUTH ON BED.MED TIGHT SHOT
Both are sweating after sex. During the scene her head will disappear from FRAME and we will know her head is in a very private part of David's anatomy. We will only see David's face
RUTH
Have you thought of what will happen to the children?
DAVID
Children?
RUTH
Yes silly. David Junior and little Ruth Anne. While you were roasting in that hot old desert I had some little Greenglasses....(Her head disappears from FRAME as she licks his chest)
DAVID
Gee, I didn't know. I'm a daddy?...Oh my God what are you doing? Jesus....
RUTH
(Voice is off screen)If I go to that horrible old jail like you what will happen to them? (moan)You don't want them without a mommy AND a daddy. Do you?
DAVID
God, God, what are you doing? Jesus, you're making me crazy.
RUTH
(Voice off screen like she may have something in her mouth)They need a mommy. You can make that happen, daddy. You know you can.
DAVID
(Wild with passion)How? How? I'll do anything....
RUTH
(Now her mouth IS full)You know what a bitch that sister of yours is???
DAVID
(Totally wild unable to function)....Ughhhh, arrgggh...Don't talk about that bitch now......

FADE TO BLACK

So David Greenglass ratted out his very own sister Ethel in exchange for all charges being dropped against his wife. He (now) says that he and his wife lied in court when they said that each of them rembered Ethel typing up documents transcribed from his notes. So the only "crime" Ethel committed was typing the notes. But it seems she may not have even done that.

PENALTIES
So the super spy Fuchs got a few years in England with no TV and then fled to East Germany where he lived the life of a super star Commie. Super spy Greenglass, the guy who actually stole all the stuff, did nine years; his wifiepoo walked. Harry Gold, the guy who sent all the info to Julius Rosenberg, got thirty years. Morton Sobell, another spy in the same case, got thirty years. Julius Rosenberg, who was a major spy, was executed. His wife Ethel, who may have typed some notes, was executed.

After the trial David Greenglass went to jail and Ruth went home to take care of the kiddies. When David got out of jail both took assumed names and moved elsewhere. He invented a number of devices, including a waterproof ornamental electrical outlet. When interviewed when he was 78 years old Greenglass, when asked if he would have done anything differently, replied "Never. "My wife says, 'Look, we're still alive."'

Both Rosenbergs kept their mouths shut til the end. Nobody knows why Ethel didn't just talk after the conviction but this "love story" has kept the Left burning for fifty years. Unlike Ruth Greenglass who stuck by her children, Ethel let hers go. Her conduct at the trial has been described as "dismissive", her testimony "contemptuous" as if she wanted to be convicted along with her husband.

It's clear that David and Ruth Greenglass loved each other. Loved the "cause too. They both threw Ethel Rosenberg to the electric chair so Ruth could "take care of the kids". Ain't that fucking beautiful? It's so...so....Middle Class.

Julius and Ethel loved each other too. So much so that she simply gave up on the witness stand. She wanted whatever it was that Julius got. She got it.

It may also be true that they were such fanatical Communists that Ethel decided to "make a statement". Nobody knows.

And then there is one more possibility. When Greenglass left jail the statute of limitations hadn't run out yet. However he cannot be touched now. He's still a Commie and so is wifiepoo. It's just possible that he's lying right now just to make the execution of Ethel look even worse; that she actually did type up the documents. After all she didn't sit in the Rosenberg apartment for two years with all the spy material from all over the country, not just Los Alamos, and not participate in some way. She did something. There are the Venona Cables. The decriptions show she was a knowledgeable accessory to espionage, and that she also recommended others to be recruited to the KGB. Greenglass has said in other interviews that both Rosenbergs could have saved themselves had they told the truth. They chose not to.

Traitors are different from you and me.

The WSJ piece doesn't glorify them. it simply points out the self delusion and venality of the Left. As the used to say in the 50's " the only good communist is a dead communist." The Rosenberg's are very good communists.

Actually, Step #1 after the Russkies recruited you was to quit the communist Party.

Burgess, McLean, Blunt -- all were Party members in the 1930s, all quit the Party and became "respectable".

My only regret is that we didn't fry the Greenglasses AND the Golds as well.
