Executed Traitors -- Still Heroes
of the Left After 50 Years

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, figures of heroic - and even mythological - proportion to the socialist/communist left, betrayed their nation and were responsible for thousands of American military deaths.
On June 19, 2003 at 8 PM a mass rally in New York City commemorated the moment the Rosenbergs were executed. Entertainers known for their leftist sympathies, including Susan Sarandon, Harry Belafonte, and Holly Near performed, with proceeds from the event going to the Rosenberg Fund for Children, which assists the offspring of leftist activists.
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg not only assisted in delivering atomic secrets to the Soviet Union -- the communist entity responsible for killing more people than Adolph Hitler's Germany - but shared responsibility for the outbreak of the Korean War.
Robert Meeropol, the younger of the two Rosenberg children, established the Rosenberg Fund to aid the children of "cash-strapped activists" in their "education," or to "attend summer camp," according to a Reuters report.
Beneficiaries have included children from "American Indian Movement members, Puerto Rican nationalists, the Black Panthers revolutionary party, white left-wing revolutionaries, environmental and union and antiwar protesters," Reuters stated.
Meeropol, who bears the name of his adoptive parents, Able and Anne Meeropol, continues to condemn the U.S. for executing his parents, and established the Fund to help carry on the leftist activities associated with the Rosenbergs, who were members of the Communist Party in the U.S.
The New York City rally and fundraiser for Meeropol's foundation for children is expected to echo the continuing leftist condemnation of the Rosenberg trial as being politically inspired and a product of anti-communist, Cold War hysteria.
In stark contrast to leftist assertions, Julius Rosenberg, aided by Ethel, was an important figure in Soviet espionage, led his own spy ring, and facilitated the transfer of atomic secrets from the U.S. to the USSR.
Herbert Romerstein in his book The Venona Secrets (Regnery Publishing, Inc. 2000), carefully documents the Rosenbergs' spy activities. Using materials released from the counterintelligence project known as "Venona," Romerstein leaves no doubt as to the guilt of the Rosenbergs, as well as the devastating after-effects of their spying, including the Korean War, which was launched by North Korea only after the U.S. lost its nuclear monopoly.
Romerstein continues his research, and has told INA Today that he plans another volume on Soviet espionage activities in the U.S.
The left does not cease to assert their agenda, and continually resorts to a distortion of the past to justify their present activities. The Venona Secrets is a fundamental work in countering socialist/communist propaganda.
