Magnetic Woman - a Lies & Detection Episode - Juliet Stuart Poyntz

Magnetic Woman - A Lies & Detection EpisodeJonas interviews Juliet Stuart Poyntz"There are people who literally are magnetic, who wherever they go or whatever they do, they draw others to them. My guest for this episode is a genuinely magnetic person.I believe it is because of her personal magnetism, that the Communist Party came to flourish in the United States during the years before World War II. I now believe that without the presence and the work of Juliet Stuart Poyntz, the Communist left in the US would have remained a sorry collection of complainers, dreamers, and cranks. She was the co-founder of the American Communist Party.  She brought discipline, focus, organization, and key people to it.Much later when she began her secret career as an active Soviet spy, she proved herself to be the most effective KGB/GRU spy working in the Americas.The Encyclopedia Britannica lists her as: a ·        Suffragist·        Feminist·        trade union organizer·        socialist·        politician·        political activist·        Communist, and ·        spy.To that impressive list, I would add that Joseph Stalin called her an enemy of the Soviet State, and personally ordered her execution."
