You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcastle make sure
you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts. Oppenheimer is a big budget
Hollywood film, but I saw over the Thanksgiving Break and
I wanted to give you my review of it now,
Christopher Nolan, I'm gon upset some people probably in this,
(00:31):
so get ready strap in, but my opinions on these
things are always correct. Christopher Nolan is a very overrated
director who makes a lot of ponderous, self important movies,
just saying what's true that movie Inception, I don't even
(00:54):
I can't remember anything that happened. There's like a van
falling in a dimension, and then another van falling, and
then there's like a third van and another. It's absurd.
It's a horrible movie. It was boring, it was bloated,
and he's done that with a number of different films.
I even thought that Dunkirk, which I think is also
(01:15):
Christopher Nolan, very interesting concept, and some of the anxiety
produces good start to the movie, but after a while
you're like, why am I watching this? Why don't need
to see these boats kind of just making their way
slowly the whole thing. I think that he's overrated. I
love the first Batman Begins movie, even though there's some
very poor casting decisions that anyway, it's not about chrispher Nolean.
(01:36):
I want to talk to you about why Oppenheimer is
part of the continuous effort by Hollywood, by the media
industry to lie to you about Communist penetrations of the
United States government and the massive Soviet espionage, including of
our nuclear secrets, that was successfully conducted against us, and
(01:59):
this notion of the Red Scare and McCarthyism and all
the blacklists in Hollywood, and it was also about everything else.
We had Commie penetrations all over this country at the
highest levels of government and in our most sensitive military
and defense secrets. That's the truth. Now you watch Oppenheimer,
(02:23):
and look, it makes me so mad because the bad
guy in the movie, they're trying to beat the Nazis
by getting the nuke, and then they're trying to, you know,
figure out should they share this information with the Soviets
the Soviet Union. Stalin is as evil as the Nazis were.
(02:44):
I don't know why this is so hard for me
to comprehend. Stalin killed millions and millions and millions of
people brutally murdered at the hands of his secret police
all over I mean, he created mass starvation. I mean,
but there's always this thing with the left, and you
see this in Oppenheimer. It's like, well maybe you know Stalin. Oh, okay,
the sorry, there's so much to cover here. They always
(03:09):
want to pretend that communism is not the monstrous evil
that it is. That's really what it comes down to. Okay,
So why have a problem with Oppenheimer? I mean, on
a purely movie review basis, the first hour of the
movie you don't even need to see. There's basically no
point the timeline. They got the hearings that are post
(03:29):
World War two, and then they go then they go
back to pre World War two and then into World
War two era and they're building the bomb and they
go back to the hearings and you don't know what the
heck is going on. And I know they used the
book American Prometheus about Oppenheimer's life. It's a biography. I
know they use that very much as the template for
the movie. But you know, sometimes you need a good editor,
(03:54):
and this movie, it's three hours long. You can the
whole first hour of it. I'm telling you don't need
it at all. The part where they actually are in
Los Alamos and you know, preparing for the to have
the first nuclear detonation, everything and the way they do
the first nuclear detonation, that's all per that's all pretty
well done. And then the third hour is basically all
just you know, oh my gosh, they're harassing Oppenheimer because
(04:16):
they can't trust him because they think he's a communist.
And it's like, wow, why are the military and the
government are so bad because they think they're all these communists?
There were communists all over the place. Now let me
get I'm going to get into things that you should
know about communist penetration of the United States government, of
the massive campaign of espionage, about the spying that was
(04:39):
going on by Americans who betrayed their country, who were
traders of the worst kind, because they sympathized with the
Soviet Union, because they were fellow travelers, they were Commedis
at heart, they were you know, commed trash and you don't.
I mean, their names are generally not known to most people.
(05:00):
I'll walk you through some of this. And because Oppenheimer.
We don't get me started. The bad guys, the people
that are worried that you can't trust people that are
really left wing and have left wing sympathies because you can't,
because you can't. But you know, they rely on the
ignorance of the general public on this thing. Look, I
would talk to you as something else for a second.
Where do you turn to if you get fired? Because oh,
(05:22):
I don't know. Maybe you go to a sports game
and you know, you paint your face the colors of
the sports team, and then someone says, oh, well, like
you're painting your face of color and that's racist somehow
because of what the color is or something. This happens
to people. Where do you go? Who do you turn to?
How do you if you get fired from your job?
Can you sue? Do you have the money for it?
There's a legal defense that's out there for people as
(05:46):
really part of something that's a membership called Patriot Defender.
So if you speak up at the school board meeting
and all of a sudden people take action against you,
they kick your kid out of school, or you know whatever,
they try to get you fired from your job. Patriot
Defender has you covered go to patriot defender dot com.
All right, they can provide you in most states. Now
(06:08):
they can provide you this membership. They'll provide open and
concealed carry defense. If you've used your weapon, they will
be there to defend you legally. They'll provide you with
IRS audit assistance if you are targeted by the IRS
for reasons of politics, if your business, your income, your
reputation are harmed, you're the weaponization of any government entity.
(06:28):
You have a no cost defense from Patriot Defender, but
you have to become a member. I'm a member. Go
check it out today. Go to patriotdefender dot com. Patriotdefender
dot com. This will defend your rights as an American
against the consequences of being targeted by the woke and
by the lunatics of the left. This is just something
(06:50):
you need to have. Patriot deefender dot com. Go check
it out. Okay, So why do I think, Yeah, I
know the former CIA guys like, oh, maybe the military
industrial Complex how to point about not trusting the commies. Yeah,
we did have a point about not trusting the commedies.
See this all goes to, first of all, the Democrat
Party today and the left in America still has a
fondness for I just gonna say they have a fondness
(07:11):
for communism. They think that, you know, true communism has
never been tried. I mean, they actually buy into all
that crap. They think that that's not insane, and of
course it is insane. But let me get into the
specifics here. And this is what makes me so mad
about Appenheimer. There's a guy that they mentioned, Klaus Fuchs,
(07:33):
who is Yeah, they mentioned that he was stealing nuclear
secrets and passing them to the Soviets. They're like, oh, man,
this guy Klaus, Yeah, it's just like a throwaway. And
then they're like, oh my gosh, they don't trust Oppenheimer.
Why these guys are patriots. They did all this amazing stuff,
and they built the bomb, and it was an amazing project.
And look, Manhattan Project was a phenomenal scientific achievement. I'm
(07:53):
not trying to say it wasn't these guys. I mean,
you know, I don't even think I could do long division.
These guys are doing, you know, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion
and changing the world we live in. I get all that.
I mean, it is an amazing story. Don't get me wrong,
and I just think it could have been done much
better than it was. But the politics around that are
what pissed me off. That's where I get really upset. Okay,
so they mentioned Klaus and they say he stole stuff.
(08:14):
There were other as we know, there were other spies
for the Soviets who got access to what we had
at Los Alamos. There were a handful of them, and
most notably there were the Rosenbergs who passed Julius and
Ethel Rosenberg who passed secrets to the Soviets about the
nuclear program, about missile propulsion systems, all kind, I mean,
the most important, most sensitive stuff. Stalin probably got nukes
(08:39):
they estimate three or four years sooner than he would
have because of the penetrations of Los Alamos. So this
notion that, look, they're just so paranoid. Why are they
so worried about communists? Hmm, there's no big breath. They
should have been paranoid. Now, now, why do I know
this stuff? First of all, there was you know, the
(08:59):
academic the academic you know, the the institutional left on
college campuses and such. They spent decades because the Rosenbergs
were both executed for espionage at I think it was
at sing sing the prison and Upstate New York. They're
both executed, man and woman for passing on and nuclear
secrets to the Soviets. And the were old these people
(09:19):
that they were innocent. No, they weren't, They were guilty.
How do I know they're guilty. Well, right in the
thick of the Second World War, the military intelligence arm
for our military that became the NSAS it was a
military signals intelligence component became the National Security Agency later
had set up a program called Project Venona. And Project
(09:42):
Venona was a basically a decryption program for cables from
the Soviet embassy in New York back to Moscow. And
the Soviets had this two factor of encryption. They thought
it would never they'd never be able, no one would
ever be able to beat this two factor. Turns out
they made a couple of mistakes, and yes, just like
(10:03):
when we beat the Nazi Enigma machine in World War
Two and then we knew where their submarines were. It
was hugely important to the war effort. We were able
to actually I know the British did, we helped whatever,
but we were able to crack with Project Venona. So
they ended up seeing cable traffic, and they knew that
there were about three hundred active Soviet agents that Venona.
(10:29):
This program went on for decades, but three hundred active
Soviet agents that Venona can identify enough. Some of them
were only known by their code names, so they couldn't
find out who they were, but others we did figure
out who they were, and the Rosenbergs, for example, were
Soviet agents. But this was a highly highly sensitive program,
so it couldn't be introduced into a court because the
(10:50):
military didn't want to give up that we were reading
the Soviet's most sensitive traffic from this country back to Moscow.
There were also Communist Party USA elements that were acting
directly at the behest of Moscow. So there were American
communists who were in kahoots with the Soviet Union, with
Stalin's and the monstrous regime that he had that was
(11:12):
a reality, and Venona, which was I think the last
cables from Venona were declassified in nineteen ninety five from
this program. This program started in the early nineteen forties.
It wasn't a nineteen ninety five that they finally I
think that they finally released like three thousand pages or
something of a Venona project. But so we did have
(11:36):
major Communist penetrations. There were Communist stooges at the at
the CIA, OSS and then later Central Intelligence Agency, at
the State Department, Alger Hiss, Kammi spy, Lachlan Curry Kammy spy,
the Cambridge Five in the UK, very highly placed Commy spies.
They were all over the place. See, I'm here to
(11:57):
tell you McCarthy was basically right. He was basically right.
And the left hates all of this because it was
all such a betrayal of Americamerica and it was happening.
It was happening during the Cold War, it was happening
during World War Two. It went on for decades. The
(12:20):
American left was willing to subvert an undermine the United
States to our enemies because they thought that the communist
utopia is going to come along because of Stalin. These
people are I say, they're idiots. I mean, yeah, they
have real some of them have high cognitive function, meaning
they have you know, decent brain power. But they have
no judgment, they have no character, they have no ethics.
(12:41):
And it's true of so many leftists. You know, they
can be you know, good at math or something, but
they were like, climate change is going to kill the world.
Now we have to have totalitarianism. They're out of their minds,
they're mind But see this, this is why Oppenheimer makes me.
Made me so mad as I was watching and I
my family got, you know, both barrels of this for me,
and we're watching. I said, this is such nonsense, because
they really make it seem like it's just this paranoid government.
(13:03):
Why don't they trust Oppenheimer, Why don't they trust all
the people you brought in because they're were spies. Because
they shouldn't have trusted all of them because it was
a huge concern because they did end up giving nuclear
secrets that were paid for by the US tax payer,
by the way, you know the billions of dollars that
went into this project, Manhattan Project, and that's in nineteen
forties dollars. It was stolen to give it to the Soviets.
(13:24):
And there are people in this country who were acting
to help the KGB. They a lot of them would
sort of tell themselves. And this comes across a little
bit in Oppenheimer because there's a few incidents they do
mention with this where they're like, oh, we just want
the Soviets to know, because there are allies against the Nazis.
They're good guys too. Soviets are horrible. In fact, the
NSA program, or rather the military program that became the
(13:46):
NSA that had Venona or that was the Venona projects,
started out not to find Soviet spies in this country.
It was to see if the Soviets were planning to
ally after after the Nazi invasion, was there going to
be a separate piece and maybe a turnabout where all
of a sudden the Nazis and the Soviets would start
fighting against us again, because you know, Stalin was a
(14:08):
completely immoral disgrace to humanity, and communism was every bit
the threat, every bit the threat to us that fascism was,
as we found out. So that's the truth of it.
But you know, they don't want you to know the truth.
They don't want you to know these things. And I
just I the whole movie is meant to be like, oh, look,
why didn't we trust them? Why were people so concerned
(14:32):
about this? They should have been concerned, and it happened.
It's not just like it was a worry and it
was a legitimate, legitimate for them to worry about it. It happened.
They stole our stuff, they stole our nuclear secrets, and
you know, get back to the American Communist Party here
in just a second. You know, this is the time
when you can do something really good with your money.
I know you're going to be spending money on Christmas
gifts and everything else. How about just setting us out
(14:54):
a little bit of money for America's heroes, and I
really mean that, the people who are the true heroes
who sacrifice for this country. This is the annual season
of Hope at Talented Towers between Thanksgiving Christmas, the foundation
is delivering mortgage free homes to dozens of Americas, really
injured veterans, Versus responders, and gold star and fallen first
responder of families. Tune of the Towers gives heroes mortgage
(15:18):
free homes, often mortgage free smart homes to ease the
financial burden on that family and make day to day
life easier for them. Help honor America's heroes. Please. It's
just eleven dollars a month. I mean, this is not
a lot of money. I know times are tight now
for a lot of people, and they are because the
prices are really high, and the Biden administration is horrible.
But eleven dollars a month, it's a couple of cups
(15:38):
of coffee. T two T dot org. Just go to
T the number two T dot org tunnel, the Towers
Foundation T two t dot org. Please donate eleven dollars
a month. And then the they just don't teach They
don't teach any of this history anymore, that the communist
part of USA was a real entity, that there were
members of it who were not just sort of dabbling
(16:01):
in things, who were hoping. Remember, the Great Depression was
viewed in the West as the failure of pitolism, and
so you get into the nineteen thirties, they were the
era of FDR, and there are all these people who think, oh,
the problem is capitalism, The solution is socialism, communism. Remarks
wrote about socialism and communism interchangeably effectively. So the solution
(16:26):
is communism. And there were a lot of people in
this country who believed that. And they thought that Stalin
was some kind of a hero and that his regime
was better that the Soviet Union. There were many Americans
in the nineteen thirties who thought the Soviet Union had
figured out and America was the problem. They were disloyal,
they were traitors to their country, and they were all
(16:48):
left wing Democrats who liked FDR. That's the truth, and
that's why there's all this all. But you know, and
there were communist part of USA individuals who helped the
Soviet Union who were there. They were just like, like idiot,
you know, just the childishness of their worldview. These these
Americans who thought, oh, I'm going to help Stalin because
(17:09):
that well, you know, if Stalin has more of our
nuclear secrets or more of our military information, then we'll
be at military parody and there won't be an arms
race or something. It's insane, It's insane. This is why
Walter Duranty New York Times covered up the Holadamor, which
is the famine, the man made famine in Ukraine killed
millions of people Stalin. This is why, you know, the
(17:30):
elite intelligency in America sold out not just their country,
but the most basic moral and ethical principles because they
thought that they were on some sort of you know,
sacred mission. Being a comedy. And that's why I watch
I watch Oppenheimer, and I just find it so frustrating
(17:53):
because they really should tell people the truth about these regimes.
They really should tell people the truth about what a
threat the United States was under. There wasn't a Red scare.
There was a red wave of communists in this country
who stole from our stole from our government in the
most sensitive information possible. And you know, we came to
(18:17):
the brink of a nuclear nuclear war with the Soviet
Union a couple of times, most notably the Cuban Missile crisis.
But you know, things got things got really scary there
for a while. And there are people in our country
who thought, you know, the Soviets are the good guys,
and they are all this. They all have the same
ideology and the same proclivities as Democrats today. The left
hasn't really changed that much in this country. That's what
(18:38):
you have to remember. They just the same impulses, the
same worldview. It's just morphed now into you know, what
we know of today's sort of left wing democrats or progressives.
But the people today who you know were the aocs,
and they all would be the kind of individuals who
would have passed secrets to the Soviets back in the
(19:00):
day because they thought, you know, oh, they're the good guys,
and that's why Oppenheimer just totally whitewashes that, and it's
it's just more commie propaganda trash and doesn't tell people
the truth about it. You know, they should make a
movie about, you know, about all the reality of the
Soviet agents operating in this country, the sleeper cells that
(19:22):
we're operating in this country, the deep cover agents that
we are. But you know, illegals is it's actually the
term the Soviets used to use for the illegals, meaning
they weren't under any kind of a diplomatic cover. So yeah, anyway,
that's my review of Oppenheimer boring long and politically it's
comi trash. So there you go. Have you ever been
(19:44):
to Belize? I know that's kind of random, but I
just think it's a country that's going to be more
and more on people's radars these days. It's amazing. And
you know, you can buy property there for you can
still get property there. It's great new construction a lot
of cases that's so reasonable. It's a long term investment.
Memory you buy property there. You own property outside the
(20:04):
US in a country with very stable laws, stable economy,
stable currency and you have a place to go to
on vacation because Belize is amazing and you should consider this.
I mean, you can consider getting some property. Why believe
well has some of the best diving in the world.
It's got jungle you know, rainforest stuff that's amazing. Ego. See,
(20:25):
it's got great food. People are very friendly, they're happy
to see Americans. A lot of Americans are already going
there and visiting Belize is really cool. So I want
you to think about maybe Belize is for you, just
not just traveling there, maybe even getting some property there,
you know, in case things get really crazy here in
the US too. Maybe having a place that you can
go to not a bad idea, right, good long term investment.
(20:47):
Go check this out Belize isfun dot com again, Belize
is Fun dot com. That's the website you go check out.
You'll see more information there. That's the show for today,

this guy Klaus, Yeah, it's just like a throwaway. And
then they're like, oh my gosh, they don't trust Oppenheimer.
Why these guys are patriots. They did all this amazing stuff,
and they built the bomb, and it was an amazing project.
And look, Manhattan Project was a phenomenal scientific achievement. I'm
(07:53):
not trying to say it wasn't these guys. I mean,
you know, I don't even think I could do long division.
These guys are doing, you know, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion
and changing the world we live in. I get all that.
I mean, it is an amazing story. Don't get me wrong,
and I just think it could have been done much
better than it was. But the politics around that are
what pissed me off. That's where I get really upset. Okay,
so they mentioned Klaus and they say he stole stuff.
(08:14):
There were other as we know, there were other spies
for the Soviets who got access to what we had
at Los Alamos. There were a handful of them, and
most notably there were the Rosenbergs who passed Julius and
Ethel Rosenberg who passed secrets to the Soviets about the
nuclear program, about missile propulsion systems, all kind, I mean,
the most important, most sensitive stuff. Stalin probably got nukes
(08:39):
they estimate three or four years sooner than he would
have because of the penetrations of Los Alamos. So this
notion that, look, they're just so paranoid. Why are they
so worried about communists? Hmm, there's no big breath. They
should have been paranoid. Now, now, why do I know
this stuff? First of all, there was you know, the
(08:59):
academic the academic you know, the the institutional left on
college campuses and such. They spent decades because the Rosenbergs
were both executed for espionage at I think it was
at sing sing the prison and Upstate New York. They're
both executed, man and woman for passing on and nuclear
secrets to the Soviets. And the were old these people
(09:19):
that they were innocent. No, they weren't, They were guilty.
How do I know they're guilty. Well, right in the
thick of the Second World War, the military intelligence arm
for our military that became the NSAS it was a
military signals intelligence component became the National Security Agency later
had set up a program called Project Venona. And Project
(09:42):
Venona was a basically a decryption program for cables from
the Soviet embassy in New York back to Moscow. And
the Soviets had this two factor of encryption. They thought
it would never they'd never be able, no one would
ever be able to beat this two factor. Turns out
they made a couple of mistakes, and yes, just like
(10:03):
when we beat the Nazi Enigma machine in World War
Two and then we knew where their submarines were. It
was hugely important to the war effort. We were able
to actually I know the British did, we helped whatever,
but we were able to crack with Project Venona. So
they ended up seeing cable traffic, and they knew that
there were about three hundred active Soviet agents that Venona.
(10:29):
This program went on for decades, but three hundred active
Soviet agents that Venona can identify enough. Some of them
were only known by their code names, so they couldn't
find out who they were, but others we did figure
out who they were, and the Rosenbergs, for example, were
Soviet agents. But this was a highly highly sensitive program,
so it couldn't be introduced into a court because the
(10:50):
military didn't want to give up that we were reading
the Soviet's most sensitive traffic from this country back to Moscow.
There were also Communist Party USA elements that were acting
directly at the behest of Moscow. So there were American
communists who were in kahoots with the Soviet Union, with
Stalin's and the monstrous regime that he had that was
(11:12):
a reality, and Venona, which was I think the last
cables from Venona were declassified in nineteen ninety five from
this program. This program started in the early nineteen forties.
It wasn't a nineteen ninety five that they finally I
think that they finally released like three thousand pages or
something of a Venona project. But so we did have
(11:36):
major Communist penetrations. There were Communist stooges at the at
the CIA, OSS and then later Central Intelligence Agency, at
the State Department, Alger Hiss, Kammi spy, Lachlan Curry Kammy spy,
the Cambridge Five in the UK, very highly placed Commy spies.
They were all over the place. See, I'm here to
(11:57):
tell you McCarthy was basically right. He was basically right.
And the left hates all of this because it was
all such a betrayal of Americamerica and it was happening.
It was happening during the Cold War, it was happening
during World War Two. It went on for decades. The
(12:20):
American left was willing to subvert an undermine the United
States to our enemies because they thought that the communist
utopia is going to come along because of Stalin. These
people are I say, they're idiots. I mean, yeah, they
have real some of them have high cognitive function, meaning
they have you know, decent brain power. But they have
no judgment, they have no character, they have no ethics.
(12:41):
And it's true of so many leftists. You know, they
can be you know, good at math or something, but
they were like, climate change is going to kill the world.
Now we have to have totalitarianism. They're out of their minds,
they're mind But see this, this is why Oppenheimer makes me.
Made me so mad as I was watching and I
my family got, you know, both barrels of this for me,
and we're watching. I said, this is such nonsense, because
they really make it seem like it's just this paranoid government.
(13:03):
Why don't they trust Oppenheimer, Why don't they trust all
the people you brought in because they're were spies. Because
they shouldn't have trusted all of them because it was
a huge concern because they did end up giving nuclear
secrets that were paid for by the US tax payer,
by the way, you know the billions of dollars that
went into this project, Manhattan Project, and that's in nineteen
forties dollars. It was stolen to give it to the Soviets.
(13:24):
And there are people in this country who were acting
to help the KGB. They a lot of them would
sort of tell themselves. And this comes across a little
bit in Oppenheimer because there's a few incidents they do
mention with this where they're like, oh, we just want
the Soviets to know, because there are allies against the Nazis.
They're good guys too. Soviets are horrible. In fact, the
NSA program, or rather the military program that became the
(13:46):
NSA that had Venona or that was the Venona projects,
started out not to find Soviet spies in this country.
It was to see if the Soviets were planning to
ally after after the Nazi invasion, was there going to
be a separate piece and maybe a turnabout where all
of a sudden the Nazis and the Soviets would start
fighting against us again, because you know, Stalin was a
(14:08):
completely immoral disgrace to humanity, and communism was every bit
the threat, every bit the threat to us that fascism was,
as we found out. So that's the truth of it.
But you know, they don't want you to know the truth.
They don't want you to know these things. And I
just I the whole movie is meant to be like, oh, look,
why didn't we trust them? Why were people so concerned
(14:32):
about this? They should have been concerned, and it happened.
It's not just like it was a worry and it
was a legitimate, legitimate for them to worry about it. It happened.
They stole our stuff, they stole our nuclear secrets, and
you know, get back to the American Communist Party here
in just a second. You know, this is the time
when you can do something really good with your money.
I know you're going to be spending money on Christmas
gifts and everything else. How about just setting us out
(14:54):
a little bit of money for America's heroes, and I
really mean that, the people who are the true heroes
who sacrifice for this country. This is the annual season
of Hope at Talented Towers between Thanksgiving Christmas, the foundation
is delivering mortgage free homes to dozens of Americas, really
injured veterans, Versus responders, and gold star and fallen first
responder of families. Tune of the Towers gives heroes mortgage
(15:18):
free homes, often mortgage free smart homes to ease the
financial burden on that family and make day to day
life easier for them. Help honor America's heroes. Please. It's
just eleven dollars a month. I mean, this is not
a lot of money. I know times are tight now
for a lot of people, and they are because the
prices are really high, and the Biden administration is horrible.
But eleven dollars a month, it's a couple of cups
(15:38):
of coffee. T two T dot org. Just go to
T the number two T dot org tunnel, the Towers
Foundation T two t dot org. Please donate eleven dollars
a month. And then the they just don't teach They
don't teach any of this history anymore, that the communist
part of USA was a real entity, that there were
members of it who were not just sort of dabbling
(16:01):
in things, who were hoping. Remember, the Great Depression was
viewed in the West as the failure of pitolism, and
so you get into the nineteen thirties, they were the
era of FDR, and there are all these people who think, oh,
the problem is capitalism, The solution is socialism, communism. Remarks
wrote about socialism and communism interchangeably effectively. So the solution
(16:26):
is communism. And there were a lot of people in
this country who believed that. And they thought that Stalin
was some kind of a hero and that his regime
was better that the Soviet Union. There were many Americans
in the nineteen thirties who thought the Soviet Union had
figured out and America was the problem. They were disloyal,
they were traitors to their country, and they were all
(16:48):
left wing Democrats who liked FDR. That's the truth, and
that's why there's all this all. But you know, and
there were communist part of USA individuals who helped the
Soviet Union who were there. They were just like, like idiot,
you know, just the childishness of their worldview. These these
Americans who thought, oh, I'm going to help Stalin because
(17:09):
that well, you know, if Stalin has more of our
nuclear secrets or more of our military information, then we'll
be at military parody and there won't be an arms
race or something. It's insane, It's insane. This is why
Walter Duranty New York Times covered up the Holadamor, which
is the famine, the man made famine in Ukraine killed
millions of people Stalin. This is why, you know, the
(17:30):
elite intelligency in America sold out not just their country,
but the most basic moral and ethical principles because they
thought that they were on some sort of you know,
sacred mission. Being a comedy. And that's why I watch
I watch Oppenheimer, and I just find it so frustrating
(17:53):
because they really should tell people the truth about these regimes.
They really should tell people the truth about what a
threat the United States was under. There wasn't a Red scare.
There was a red wave of communists in this country
who stole from our stole from our government in the
most sensitive information possible. And you know, we came to
(18:17):
the brink of a nuclear nuclear war with the Soviet
Union a couple of times, most notably the Cuban Missile crisis.
But you know, things got things got really scary there
for a while. And there are people in our country
who thought, you know, the Soviets are the good guys,
and they are all this. They all have the same
ideology and the same proclivities as Democrats today. The left
hasn't really changed that much in this country. That's what
(18:38):
you have to remember. They just the same impulses, the
same worldview. It's just morphed now into you know, what
we know of today's sort of left wing democrats or progressives.
But the people today who you know were the aocs,
and they all would be the kind of individuals who
would have passed secrets to the Soviets back in the
(19:00):
day because they thought, you know, oh, they're the good guys,
and that's why Oppenheimer just totally whitewashes that, and it's
it's just more commie propaganda trash and doesn't tell people
the truth about it. You know, they should make a
movie about, you know, about all the reality of the
Soviet agents operating in this country, the sleeper cells that
(19:22):
we're operating in this country, the deep cover agents that
we are. But you know, illegals is it's actually the
term the Soviets used to use for the illegals, meaning
they weren't under any kind of a diplomatic cover. So yeah, anyway,
that's my review of Oppenheimer boring long and politically it's
comi trash. So there you go. Have you ever been
(19:44):
to Belize? I know that's kind of random, but I
just think it's a country that's going to be more
and more on people's radars these days. It's amazing. And
you know, you can buy property there for you can
still get property there. It's great new construction a lot
of cases that's so reasonable. It's a long term investment.
Memory you buy property there. You own property outside the
(20:04):
US in a country with very stable laws, stable economy,
stable currency and you have a place to go to
on vacation because Belize is amazing and you should consider this.
I mean, you can consider getting some property. Why believe
well has some of the best diving in the world.
It's got jungle you know, rainforest stuff that's amazing. Ego. See,
(20:25):
it's got great food. People are very friendly, they're happy
to see Americans. A lot of Americans are already going
there and visiting Belize is really cool. So I want
you to think about maybe Belize is for you, just
not just traveling there, maybe even getting some property there,
you know, in case things get really crazy here in
the US too. Maybe having a place that you can
go to not a bad idea, right, good long term investment.
