Robert Oppenheimer and Zhou Enlai in the Summer of our Discontent
Communist tyranny: Made in America
Copyright©2023 • Revisionist History Website
“Thank God for the Deep State.” —Former acting CIA Director John McLaughlin, in an October 30, 2019 comment on the impeachment effort against Donald Trump, spoken at the Michael V. Hayden Center at Schar School of Policy and Government. (The Schar School trains aspiring functionaries for placement in the D.C. bureaucracy’s swamp. Its namesake, Hayden, is the only bureaucrat to have served as director of both the NSA and the CIA).
No one, not John McLaughlin, Michael Hayden or Niccolo Machiavelli himself could hold a candle to Mao Zedong’s left hand man, Zhou Enlai, the politician’s politician:
“He had a talent for telling blatant lies with angelic suavity. He was the kind of man who could stick a knife in your back and do it with such disarming grace that you would still feel compelled to thank him for the deed…He repeatedly and literally got away with murder. No wonder politicians from all over the world unanimously worshipped him.” (Simon Leys)
What Mr. Leys observes of Zhou can also be said of Biden, Obama, Trump, Clinton, George H.W. Bush and son, Ronald Reagan, Lyndon Johnson, Harry Truman, George C. Marshall and a legion of politicians, whether big shots or small fry.
As I write these words another motion picture of virtuoso artistry, “Oppenheimer” by Cryptocrat Christopher Nolan, who co-wrote and directed the occult-signaling “Dark Kight” movies (cf. Twilight Language), is debuting in theaters across America. One of its main themes is the supposed despicable hollowness of the attempt to detect and bring to justice the Communists who had infiltrated the Federal government at all levels, dating from the 1930s and then propelled on steroids when the U.S. allied with the Soviet Union in 1941.
The seminal prophecy of modern Left-wing terror is Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel, The Possessed, where theorists justify the right to kill civilians, and then as now, searched for a judiciary that would enable it.
The Antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters and bomb-throwing insurrectionists in cities like Portland, Oregon where the Federal building was attacked, and Washington D.C., where President Trump’s life was briefly under threat and Secret Service and police were assaulted, have never actually been punished at any level of retribution, other than token. Nothing that the January 6 mob perpetrated, as reprehensible as in some cases their acts were, approaches anything like the aforementioned Leftist uprisings.
There are many reasons for this state of affairs, one of which is the Hegelian notion of being “on the correct side of history and progress,” a direction that constitutes permanent revolution.
And yet that extreme zealotry almost always manages to consume its own activists as they begin to turn on one another, whether by cancelation or execution. In France the entire gamut was run in five years: the Bastille overthrown in 1789, the monarchy extinguished in 1792 and the revolution’s once most favored leader, Maximilian Robespierre, executed by the same guillotine by which he had begun to exterminate the revolution’s inner circle, including his former top comrade, Danton.
Stalin did the same. His old “Bolsheviks” were put on show-trial and shot. His most prominent rival and quondam comrade, Leon Trotsky, was beaten to death in Mexico.
Stalin was saved from Robespierre’s fate by the West, and in particular, elements in the governments of Britain and the United States who looked the other way as his espionage ring, among them Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Harry Gold, David Greenglass and Klaus Fuchs, conveyed the secrets of the atomic bomb to the mass murderer in Moscow.
“Oppenheimer” falsifies this history, reducing it to a “Red Scare” hysteria which allegedly led to irrational suspicion directed at the movie’s eponymous darling, Robert Oppenheimer, the chief of the White Sands/Trinity Site project, which led to the incineration of some 200,000 Japanese, most of whom were civilians, in two cities, Hiroshima, and the metropolis with the largest Christian (Catholic) population in Asia: Nagasaki (bombing it was no coincidence).
There is no depiction in the movie of the atomic bombing of Japan or its aftermath. Even a glimpse of the unimaginable carnage would be too subversive of the “Good War” moral of Mr. Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” tale, which was filmed through the gauzy haze of Left-wing mythography where fantasy becomes fact, although the Right wing Wall Street Journal (WSJ) joined the applause, offering a depraved encomium for the mass murder of women and children:
“…Amid the ensuing celebration of the grim deployment in Japan of the two A-bombs, instruments of slaughter that, nevertheless, probably saved hundreds of thousands of lives…” (Kyle Smith, ‘Oppenheimer’: Explosive History, Wall Street Journal, July 21, p. A10).
Note that the human toll is calculated by the Journal only with regard to the Allies. The bombings of civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki “saved lives”? A Wonderland statement like that is only logical if the Japanese are considered less than human: the slaughter of humanoids saves lives.
Actually, the two cities were immolated on the altar of the doctrine of unconditional surrender. Had Washington accepted the peace feelers Tokyo had been transmitting since 1943, including conditions for surrender, there would have been no need for GIs to invade the home islands, thus eliminating the legerdemain rationale for the atomic genocide.
