The KGB's Useful Idiots - by Paul Kengor, FrontPageMag

I was recently the subject of a FrontPage Interview on a revelation in my book on Ronald Reagan and the fall of Communism, in which I feature a May 1983 KGB memo concerning an offer from Senator Ted Kennedy to Yuri Andropov. In response, I received several e-mails calling Kennedy a useful idiot or worse.

In fact, there are numerous examples of leftists unwittingly serving the Soviet cause in the 1980s, which today sit in Communist government and media archives, some of which have been translated and are easily accessible in the United States. There they gather dust, as liberal historians and journalists ignore them, failing to do their jobs, never reporting the real history that exists.

I would like to here cite just two examples from 1983, one of the hottest years in the Cold War: Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) and his decision to invade Grenada.


Restul aici.

RIGHT, in Europa cred ca Italia este exemplul cel mai strigator la cer, apoi vine Franta.
Acum pricepeti de ce parte din grupurile parlamentare din UE NU VOR ka komunismul sa fie echivalat, condamnat si INTERZIS la fel ca nazismul ? Pt. ka komunistii au ajuns pan' la Bruxelles, tout court !
