The Chekist Legacy Code and the Frankenstein Presidency of John Kerry

Will Yuri Andropov be sitting in Hell sipping scotch and listening to jazz tomorrow or will he be tied down in a Lubyanka like cell forced to listen Pope John Paul II saying mass in Polish or to Ronald Reagan repeating one liners, like ‘tear down this wall,’ ‘start the bombing now?’

Yuri Andropov was the head of the KGB for fifteen years before he became head of the Soviet Union in 1982. Andropov, for most of the Cold War, was the main architect and strategist in the Chekist campaigns to force the West to collapse from within. Among the Chekist, Andropov is to Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the Cheka, as Stalin is to Lenin.

If John Kerry wins the Presidency today perhaps historians and all of us will be forced to consider the proposition that America may have actually lost the Cold War, because John Kerry and everything he represents in America is a Yuri Andropov creation.

You see with all the rehashing and reexamination of the Vietnam War during the current political season we should have also rehashed and reexamined the larger conflict, which Vietnam was a part of – the Cold War.

Among most analysts, commentators, politicians, and the average person there is a consensus that the collapse of the Soviet Union was complete and final. The United States won the Cold War and the Soviet system ended up in the dustbin of history.

Wrong. Two of the three pillars of the Soviet system the Party and the military did suffer total collapse but the third pillar of the Soviet system the security organs, fell back, regrouped, adapted. They now are the system; they now are the state.

While most of the world saw the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the Soviet military machine, the Communist Party and the Soviet economy as irrefutable evidence of America’s victory in the Cold War, in truth, the Cold War was fought on many different levels and in many different arenas and it was primarily the Soviet security organs that developed the strategy and did the fighting.

Where were some of the less publicized battles fought? They were fought in our workplaces, our media, our schools, our churches, and our homes. It was a battle for our popular culture and most Americans did not even realize or concede that such a battle was taking place.

When the Soviet Union did collapse most of the focus was on the toll the Cold War took on the people of the Soviet Union and the eastern Bloc. But almost no one has seriously studied the toll that the Cold War took on America or its allies. Specifically, the fallout and effects of the attacks conducted against us by the Soviet security organs, such as the KGB and the GRU.

Much of those attacks and their consequences are subsumed and make up much of what is now popularly called the “Culture War” in America. It is the subject of constant commentary and debate within the media and academia. It’s in the images, symbols, discourse, casual conversations that makes up our daily life.

Over the years those who have made the connection between the Soviet security agencies and the Culture War within America have usually been dismissed, ignored or vilified by one side in the Culture War, praised and lionized by the other.

However, even those who have pointed out and documented the link between the ‘Chekists’ and America’s decades old Culture War have for the most part side stepped or treated very gingerly, the event within that War which is its single most important and defining event.

No, not Vietnam, though Vietnam does provide a case book example of how the Communist bloc and its security services recognized that it was more important to attack and defeat the Americans at home than in the jungles of Southeast Asia.

No, the most significant event of the Culture War has been that which has made it a true war, a civil war with the massive causalities.

Roe v. Wade challenged and undermined the founding principle upon which America was established: “that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”

Roe v. Wade was a revolutionary event in American History. As important and significant an event as America’s very founding, because it boldly and openly repudiated America’s founding principle. Life is not an unalienable right in post Roe v. Wade America.

And just as in the first century of America’s history the institution of slavery could not coexist indefinitely with the fundamental principle upon which America is based, so too Abortion cannot coexist with the unalienable right to life.

No, I am not suggesting Roe v. Wade was a KGB plot, but just as America’s challenge to the Soviet Union caused tremendous upheaval and internal contradictions that eventually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union, so too, did the Soviet challenge, led and directed by the KGB and GRU, caused tremendous upheaval and internal contradictions in American society.

Roe v. Wade was not dreamed up in the bowels of the KGB, but it was a direct consequence of Soviet efforts to have America collapse from within. No other event during the Cold War, and accompanying Culture War triggered by the Cold War, has had such a devastating effect on Americans’ daily existence.

It was as if a Soviet Bomber had hit one ammo dump in January 1973 and the resulting collateral damage to adjacent ammo dumps have been going off for the last 31 years.

What if 44 million Americans were suddenly wiped off the face of the earth by a weapon of mass destruction?

Would Americans simply go on about their daily lives knowing that 44 million lives have just been lost?

Could Americans be told it did not happen, even though they have family friends and neighbors who suffered serious physical and psychological injuries?

Could Americans tell themselves it did not happen, even if some of them were among the injured?

Yet, Roe v. Wade is simply nothing less an Asymmetrical Weapon of Mass Destruction which over time and space has ‘surgically eliminated’ over 44 million human lives, and counting, across America.

What would a history of Nazi Germany be like if the Holocaust and the death and labor camps were censored out?

What if the existence of the labor and death camps in such societies were euphemistically justified as allowing other citizens of those societies to live a better life, a life more to their choosing?

How did people in those societies go about and live their normal everyday lives?

They could not handle the truth, as one Jack Nicholson character might say; and neither can most Americans today handle the truth about Abortion.

Think of it, the man who may be President-Elect tomorrow is against Abortion because he believes life begins at conception but he is pro-choice which allows and promotes Abortion.

In other words, John Kerry morally believes that more than 44 million American souls, and counting, have been denied their unalienable right to life since 1973 but he refuses to oppose Roe v. Wade because he is pro-choice and it is “the law of the land.”

To believe life begins at conception and to be pro-choice is an intellectually and morally untenable position if life is an unalienable right. One’s right to life cannot be unalienable if it can be terminated due to a lifestyle preference of another human being. Yet, John Kerry holds such a position.

Unfortunately, John Kerry is not alone in such a position. Millions of Americans hold just such a position. And millions of other Americans will not challenge them or force them admit to the logic of their position.

Because the Abortion campaign in the Culture War has already been fought and lost. And both the winners and the losers are in denial as to the outcome because the outcome is so horrendous to contemplate.

Many of us Catholics who watch John Kerry profess his faith are repulsed by his fervent defense of Roe v. Wade.

Many of us wished President Bush had challenged the Senator during the debates on the issue of Abortion.

When John Kerry expressed his belief that life begins at conception many of us would have liked President Bush to ask:

“Senator does that mean you believe in your soul that more than 44 million American lives have been lost to Roe v. Wade since 1973 and that you have not a raised a finger to defend those lives?

And that, in fact, you feel duty bound by existing law to let the taking of what you believe in your soul to be human lives to go on unceasingly?

At that point, it would have been nice if President Bush simply announced the end of the debate, the end of his active campaigning for the Presidency and told the American public the ‘choice’ is theirs and that we have troops in the field and that he had a war to run as commander-in-chief.

Today is All Souls Day for Catholic and former Altar Boy John Kerry, what if America tells Yuri Andropov to forgot the scotch and sit back and enjoy watching the endless reruns of Pope John Paul II and his favorite American President Ronald Reagan?

Some argue that the "unalienable right to life" is only in the Declaration, not in the Constitution, but let me suggest that they are linked by the enevitable "WE."

"We hold these truths to be self-evident..." I.e., we don't need to enumerate them.

"We the people.." of the language of the Constitution are the SAME PEOPLE!!

So the right-to-life is as indelibly tatooed into our founding documents as it is possible to be.
