The Russians then set up a printing facility in a Nazi printing plant in Leipzig and began to<br />

print currency which the U.S. couldn’t account for. Russia refused to redeem the currency with<br />

rubles, therefore the U.S. Treasury had to back the currency. The Russians were using these<br />

newly printed Marks to sap the German economy, and take advantage of the United States, who,<br />

by the end of 1946, had lost $250,000,000 because of redeeming, in U.S. dollars, marks which<br />

were issued in excess of the total amount of marks issued by the Finance Office, who was<br />

officially printing occupation money for the Germans. In addition, the $18,102 charge for the<br />

plates and printing material was never paid.<br />

In 1943, a Congressional investigation revealed, that even before the U.S. had built its first<br />

atomic bomb, half of all the uranium and technical information needed to construct such a bomb,<br />

was secretly sent to Russia. This included chemicals, metals, and minerals instrumental in<br />

creating an atomic bomb, and manufacturing a hydrogen bomb. In 1980, James Roosevelt, the<br />

son of President Franklin Roosevelt, wrote a novel, A Family Matter, which detailed how his<br />

father made “a bold secret decision– to share the results of the Manhattan Project with the Soviet<br />

Union,” in 1943 and 1944.<br />

Air Force Major Racey Jordan, was a Land-Lease expediter and liaison officer for the<br />

Russians in Great Falls, which was the primary staging area for the massive Lend-Lease supply<br />

operation to the Soviet Union. In his diaries, which were published in 1952, he said that the U.S.<br />

built the Soviet war machine by shipping all the materials needed to construct an atomic pile,<br />

including graphite, cadmium metal, thorium, and uranium. In March, 1943, a number of black<br />

leather suitcases wrapped in white window sash cord, and sealed with red wax, said to be of a<br />

diplomatic nature, were to be sent to Moscow. One night the Russians had taken them out for<br />

dinner, and suspicious of their friendliness, Jordan decided to sneak away, and went back to the<br />

base with an armed sentry. He discovered that two Russian couriers from Washington had<br />

arrived and had procured a plane bound for Russia, to take about 50 of these cases.<br />

He detained the flight, and discovered that the shipment was being sent to the “Director,<br />

Institute of Technical and Economic Information” in Moscow. He opened eighteen of the cases,<br />

and discovered a collection of maps that identified the names and locations of all the industrial<br />

plants in the U.S., along with classified military sites. One case contained a folder of military<br />

documents marked, “from Hiss,” and another case which contained a White House memo from<br />

“H.H.” (Harry Hopkins, former Secretary of Commerce and head of the Lend-Lease Program) to<br />

Al Mikoyan (Russia’s number three man, after Stalin and Foreign Commissar Molotov), which<br />

accompanied a map of Oak Ridge and the Manhattan Engineering District, and a report from<br />

Oak Ridge, which contained phrases like: “energy produced by fission,” and “walls five feet<br />

thick, of lead and water, to control flying neutrons.”<br />

In short, traitors within the Administration of Roosevelt were giving the Soviets the<br />

instructions and the material to build nuclear weapons, even before the United States had fully<br />

developed the technology for use by our country. Jordan reported all of this to Air Force<br />

Intelligence, but nothing ever happened.<br />

The Russian’s ability to establish their space program was also provided by America. When<br />

General Patton was moving eastward through Germany, he captured the towns of Peenemunde<br />

and Nordhausen, where German scientists had developed the V-1 and V-2 rockets. Gen. Dwight<br />

Eisenhower ordered him to turn the two towns over the Russians, who dismantled the facilities<br />

and shipped them to Russia, along with the scientists. One of the German scientists, Dr. Werner<br />

von Braun, led a group of 100 other scientists, who surrendered to the Americans. He later<br />

became head of the American space program.
