TREASON - ONE FAMILY’S GENETIC DISORDER
I met the enemy. Monster appeared so plain and so, like a library mouse, unnoticeable, that he could work as a spy. Actually Mr. Meeropol was a son of a spy. His father, Julius Rozenberg, was executed with his wife in 1953 for passing American atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union.
Any doubts in Rozenbergs’ guilt totally disappeared after KGB archives were opened, and Venona files and memoirs of the Rozenberg’s KGB handler were published.
This case could belong to a dustbin of history if the Rozenbergs’ son, Robert Meeropol, weren’t continuing the same treasonous work for which his parents were executed. Thus, in the Constitution, treason consists “…in levying war against them [United States], or is adhering to their enemies. Giving them aid and comfort.”(Definition of treason in US Constitution. Article 3 Section 4.) As Meeropol stated himself, ”I can through my activities make them [United States]pay for killing my parents.”
It was not a stale fame of Meeropol’s parents espionage case that brought me to his talk in College of Marin, but the fact that his next speaking engagement was scheduled at the Middle East Children’s Alliance, a vicious anti-Israel propaganda joint. What makes a Jew welcome to the organization which has a banner “Support Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions of Israel” on its homepage and whose members dream of exterminating 5 million Jews living in Israel (for beginning)?
This question forced me to drive over the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County, the nest of American lefty crazies adjacent to InSane Francisco – capital of crazy lefty perverts. On the way, I called my uncle, a former Soviet nuclear physicist and a friend of Academic Sakharov, who refreshed for me an atomic espionage case with detailed analysis of the experiments Russians could drop, after receiving information stolen from the US, and how this information speeded up Soviet atomic bomb production.
But Mr. Meeropol didn’t try to prove his parents’ innocence for too long. He was sure “that my parents acted patriotically even if Venona is accurate.” The topic of his talk – that which we all live again in MacCarthy era,. Substitute “terrorists” for “communists”, and we are back in the age of McCarthy. Just as in the fifties American government scared people with false threat of communism, now Bush’s government scares people with false Islamic radicalism.
So, Meeropol preached, we already lost all our liberities to the spying on us government. He confessed “but within days [after September 11th attack] I realized that Bush and company, not Osama bin Laden, were the principal source of my siege mentality.” Yepp! So he feels besieged by President Bush and his army. No wonder he feels sympathy for President Bush army’s enemies and critisizes Ashcroft that he deported “innocent Muslims” just for overstaying their visas.
San Francisco State University students (me included) highly benefited from Ashcroft’s deportations. Anti-Israel, anti-Semitic demonstrations with people screaming “Kill the Jews!” organized by overstaying their visas Palestinian Arabs, finally ceased on campus. It was the first year when students could study uninterrupted by noisy anti-Israeli rallies. Unfortunately, Mohammed Atta, one more Muslim overstaying his visa, was not deported on time.
Mr. Meeropol, with casual anti-American leftist, pacifist crap about imprisoned people of color and unlawful war in Iraq, failed to entertain even benevolent to him audience of a few dozen aging hippies: some fell asleep, some went to the restroom and never came back.
As an orator, he was not Leon Trotsky. Watching his communication skills, I assumed that no way he could succeed as a lawyer (he was introduced as one,) and I was right. At work he didn’t fit, so he quit and started “The Rozenbergs Fund for Children” of parents “oppressed by American government, children of anti-Imperialist political prisoners, and children of gay, lesbian, by-sexual and trans-gendered activists.”
In America, the majority of no-goodnicks, failures to provide for themselves and their families, find shelters in nonprofit organizations, universities, and libraries where the quality of their work is difficult to measure. Hiding behind children of shadowy and imaginable “political prisoners,” Robert Meeropol came to well-to-do Marin County to solicit money, the only income he could earn exploiting his parents’ infamy.
After his discolored speech, I shouted, “Mr. Meeropol, you declared that we lost all our liberties. Why after such an anti-American and anti-government speech we are not surrounded by FBI and not taken for interrogation by prison bus. Why we are still enjoying each other’s company?”
“Are you from FBI?” hissed a female dried mushroom on my left side.
I approached Meeropol at the book signing. “Does your fund help children of victims of terrorist attacks in Israel?” He answered that they don’t help foreigners. His brochure describes help only to children of Puerto Rican nationalists, Liberian activists, anti-apartheid activists in South Africa and someone from Congo.
“Mr. Meeropol, what are you doing at the Middle Eastern Children’s Alliance?” He answered that he would give the same talk. Sure, he will explain to Arabs that they are unlawfully harassed by evil American government and will promise to help to fight for their rights to kill Americans and Israelis with impunity. Later he will give them his lawyer-daughter Rachel Meeropol’s business card.
Yes, this is Rozenbergs’ granddaughter who filed nuisance lawsuit against President Bush as a head of National Security Agency and the heads of the other major security agencies, challenging the NSA’s surveillance of persons within the United States. Rachel Meerpol was unhappy that her Muslim client’s conversation with his Al-Qaeda partner could be recorded. And guess who helped her to file the suit? The Council on American-Islamic Relations. Is treason running in all generation of this family as genetic disorder?
“Mr. Meeropol,” I concluded our conversation, “your parents betrayed United States of America; you are betraying Jewish people. “
In his interview to San Francisco Jewish newspaper, Mr. Meeropol observed with bitterness that “no major magazine has ever done a feature story on me or The Rozenberg Fund for Children.”
Every society has an instinct of self-preservation. This is why traitors are ostracized and become pariahs and lepers. No one wants to touch them or their offspring. Mr. Meerpol didn’t use a generous opportunity not to follow his parents’ blind hatred and betrayal of his country. He didn’t study how Stalin, idol of his executed parents, had been destroying children and grandchildren of his enemies with law about CHSIR, “members of the families of traitors to homeland.” Mr. Meerpol and his daughter’s treasonous activity made me think that Stalin had some cruel wisdom.

One cannot be surprised by Mr Meerapol's actions. Had his parents merely been imprisoned would his outlook on life have been less bitter? We'll never know, but one can hardly blame a man whose relatives deserted him as a child for displaying no loyalty to the Jewish nation.
