Today in Labor History July 15, 1955: Eighteen Nobel laureates signed the Mainau Declaration against nuclear weapons, later co-signed by thirty-four other Nobel laureates. Werner Heisenberg, of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, was 1 of the signers. A new Mainau Declaration was signed in 2015. This one calls for urgent action on the Climate Crisis.

Part of the original Mainau Declaration reads as follows: “We do not deny that perhaps peace is being preserved precisely by the fear of these weapons. Nevertheless, we think it is a delusion if governments believe that they can avoid war for a long time through the fear of these weapons. Fear and tension have often engendered wars. Similarly, it seems to us a delusion to believe that small conflicts could in the future always be decided by traditional weapons. In extreme danger no nation will deny itself the use of any weapon that scientific technology can produce. All nations must come to the decision to renounce force as a final resort. If they are not prepared to do this, they will cease to exist.”

While both threats remain, the nuclear threat will destroy the planet, and life on it, much more suddenly. And the U.S. and Western European powers, including Israel, seem much more prepared to use them than any time in the past. Indeed, in part because of this increasing willingness to use nuclear weapons, willingness to escalate military conflicts that risk nuclear miscalculation, and the rapid proliferation of a new nuclear arms race between the U.S., Russia, and China, in 2023 the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (founded by Einstein and Oppenheimer in 1945) pushed the Doomsday Clock forward to 90 seconds before midnight, the closest it has ever come to Armageddon (at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis it was at 2 min. before midnight). And then, in 2024, advanced it further, still, to 89 seconds before midnight. The first paragraph of their current status warning reads:

“Ominous trends continue to point the world toward global catastrophe. The war in Ukraine and the widespread and growing reliance on nuclear weapons increase the risk of nuclear escalation. China, Russia, and the United States are all spending huge sums to expand or modernize their nuclear arsenals, adding to the ever-present danger of nuclear war through mistake or miscalculation.”

Today in Labor History July 9, 1947: The Greek government ordered the arrest of 11,500 people on charges of plotting a Communist revolution. It occurred during the Greek Civil War (1943-1949), between Royalists (supported by the UK and US) and various Communist factions (supported by Yugoslavia and the USSR). It was the first US proxy war against Russia during the Cold War. Well over 200,000 people died and over 1 million were displaced. Nearly 80 years later, the U.S. continues its attempts to usurp Russia’s regional hegemony through another proxy war. This war has a similar number of deaths and refugees, but in only one-third the amount of time. And this time, both nations possess nuclear arsenals large enough to destroy the planet several times over.

Brendan McNally: Traitor’s Odyssey

Journalist and author Brendan McNally joins the Plutopia podcast this time as we discuss his latest book, Traitor’s Odyssey: The Untold Story of Martha Dodd and a Strange Saga of Soviet Espionage, which tells the story of Martha Dodd, the daughter of an American ambassador in 1930s Berlin who became a Soviet spy. McNally spent years researching declassified CIA files and interviewing people with knowledge of Martha and her amazing story. McNally reveals how Dodd’s promiscuous entanglements with Nazi elites and later a Soviet diplomat drew her into espionage, leading to years of FBI surveillance, a failed spy career, and an absurd exile in Communist Prague. His meticulous research, drawing on declassified CIA, FBI, KGB, and Venona project files, plus interviews with old spies and exiles, paints a darkly comic portrait of espionage driven by flawed, colorful personalities.

Brendan McNally:

I found what was essentially a hot babes of the Third Reich website where somebody had devoted a whole website to Nazi girlfriends and wives and mistresses, and there she was, Martha Dodd. And as it turned out, she had been lovers with so many different Nazis, it would make your head spin — including the head of the Gestapo. And similar along the line, she fell in love with a Russian diplomat who turned out to be a Soviet spy, and he recruited her for the Soviet intelligence. For a year or two, she was Stalin’s top gal, top spy in Berlin.
