In April 1985 Panetta joined with 13 of his leftist congressional colleagues — including Ron Dellums, Don Edwards, George Miller, Christopher Dodd, and Les Aspin — in sponsoring a 20th anniversary fund-raising gala for the pro-Marxist Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), which had been described by Brian Crozier, director of the London Institute for the Study of Conflict, as the "perfect intellectual front for Soviet activities which would be resisted if they were to originate openly from the KGB." The IPS was originally funded with millions of dollars from the Faberge perfume magnate and Communist Party member Samuel Rubin and his wife.
On April 30, 1987, Rep. Panetta cast a highly suspect vote for one who would direct our nation's top foreign intelligence agency. On that day, he was one of 183 members of the House to vote against the withdrawal of Most Favored Nation (MFN) status for communist Romania. Romania, at the time, was run by Nicolae Ceausescu, one of the most brutal dictators in the entire Soviet bloc.
Anti-communist publisher Phillip Abbott Luce started the hard-hitting newsletter The Pink Sheet on the Left to expose communist and other organizations or individuals working to increase the size and power of government. After the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, Luce changed the name of the newsletter to The American Sentinel, and changed the publication's emphasis to geo-strategic issues. However, beginning with the February 15, 1993 issue, the biweekly newsletter became The Pink Sheet on the Left again. Editor Lee Bellinger explained his reason for the change, "Consider 10 good reasons why we brought The Pink Sheet on the Left out of retirement: Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Strobe Talbott, Albert Gore, Ronald Dellums, Donna Shalala, Ron Brown, Lawrence Walsh, Leon Panetta, and Warren Christopher."
Readers who recall the movement to impeach Bill Clinton remember that one of the charges raised by Clinton's critics was the conflict of interest created when individuals connected with the Chinese Overseas Shipping Company (COSCO) — such as John Huang, Charles Trie, and James and Mochtar Riady — helped funnel contributions to the Clinton reelection campaign. Afterwards, the Clinton administration lobbied for granting COSCO a 10-year lease on the former Long Beach Naval Shipyard in California. During a March 1997 edition of CNBC's Equal Time program, California Republican State Senator Dick Mountjoy noted that COSCO-linked arms dealer Wang Jun had been granted personal access to President Clinton, and that Wang's business associates had smuggled illegal assault weapons into California for delivery to street gangs by making use of a ship owned and operated by COSCO. Mountjoy then stated:
The next thing you know, (then-Chief of Staff) Leon Panetta is down here negotiating that port for the Chinese.
There is much more to the COSCO-Long Beach connection than we have room for here, but a good summary of the threat the arrangement made to U.S. security may be found in an item inserted into the Congressional Record by Rep. Gerald B.H. Solomon on May 20, 1997.
Even the most unbiased of observers may legitimately ask: Why on Earth is an individual who helped negotiate the turnover of the Long Beach Naval Shipyard to the communist Chinese, thereby creating the threat to U.S. national security described in the Washington Times article by Rowan Scarborough and inserted into the Congressional Record by Rep. Solomon, being considered for a top position at one of our nation's most critical intelligence agencies?

So we should just sit on our fat apathetic *sses and not attempt to do anything about it? We need to make a big a fuss as possible about these things. Get the word out. Explain it to people in some detail. Write the Republican reps in congress to stop this dupe from being confirmed CIA chief! Senator Shelby is a good guy with influence in this area. Write his office.

...My wife and stepson voted for Obama. My wife NNNNever would talk politics with me. “I don’t want to hear it!!!” Now, she won’t shut up and has CNN on all day and night so she doesn’t miss anything! Thhhhere both hopeless lefties. I took one of their votes away. I won’t say who I voted for, but it wasn’t “that other guy”. Here in KY, McCain, “the other guy” got the electorates. Whether they’ll give them back when “they” vote is another story...
I know where he lives. Used to see him in various places near the former Fort Ord (now CSUMB) at lunch time. He is a stooge, a vacuous skull devoid of thought.
It takes a couple of generations, once they have the minds of the youth, a crisis is created and the rest is easy. It’s almost a done deal.
We need new leadership or a new party - there is no middle ground.
I’m shocked, SHOCKED, that Barack Hussein Uhbama would appoint someone to office that had communist ties and socialist leanings.
Right! hard to imagine that isn’t it? His choices make it crystal clear that he is everything we thought he was.
The problem is this: We have no MEDIA!! NONE! This has never happened in the past. We can’t get info out. We need the media. If we can’t get the media to report it, we are doomed. Saudis, Soros and others are determined to buy up and control the media.
I dont see any leadership skills in the current crop in office. A new party would take years to establish. We're screwed.
Desperation sometimes breeds determination and determination invites decisiveness and decisive action often brings victory. As a conservative, I feel a bit (and just a tiny bit, out of respect) like the elements of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne, cut off and surrounded outside Foy in Belgium in December of 1944. They suffered terrible personal loss, whereas we will likely only suffer politically and economically. But they never gave up and never gave in.
Nuts. I would love to see even 1/10 of the grit and determination of those men in our presumptive leaders. I don't mean to over-dramatize, because our stakes are not yet that high. But I believe the path we are presently on will lead back to such times, and I fear that we are not as equipped to deal with it as those who went before us; for they were better men whose example we can only hope to follow.
