The Kennedy KGB letter
HotAir ^ | 10/20/06

Posted on 10/20/2006 8:32:05 PM PDT by bnelson44

So you want answers, eh? Not satisfied with the CNS report?

I’ve got answers.

There’s a new book on Ronald Reagan making the rounds, The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism. Its author, Paul Kengor, unearthed a sensational document from the Soviet archives. That document is a memo regarding an offer made by Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts via former Senator John Tunney, both Democrats, to the General Secretary of the Communist Party, USSR, Yuri Andropov, in 1983. The offer was to help the Soviet leadership, military and civilian, conduct a PR campaign in the United States as President Ronald Reagan sought re-election. The goal of the PR campaign would be to cast President Reagan as a warmonger, the Soviets as willing to peacefully co-exist, and thereby turn the electorate away from Reagan. It was a plan to enlist Soviet help, and use the American press, in unseating an American president.

Think about that.

I received a review copy of The Crusader on Wednesday. The book first references the Kennedy plan on page 206, and includes the complete Soviet memo, dated May 14, 1983, in the Appendix. It’s an eye opener.

If the proposal is recognized as worthy, then Kennedy and his friends will bring about suitable steps to have representatives of the largest television companies in the USA contact Y. V. Andropov for an invitation to Moscow for the interview. Specifically, the board of directors of ABC, Elton Raul and the television columnists Walter Cronkite or Barbara Walters could visit Moscow. The senator underlined the importance that this initiative should be seen as coming from the American side.

Just, not the senator himself. Because collaborating with the leadership of a foreign state to unseat an American president, by whatever means, could be seen by Americans as treasonous. No fingerprints, that’s the rule. Who knew Reagan would win and then defeat the USSR, so this document could see the light of day? The Kennedy KGB memo runs about four pages. If there’s an honest liberal left in the country, it would be nice to have their take on this revelation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't consider this to be anything necessarily new. I, and others, have suspected the Democrats of undermining this nation in order to achieve and maintain political power for decades. So my questions would along these lines:


1. How many Democrat politicians in general have been in communications with foreign leaders, their intelligence agencies, their diplomats, or their news agencies, or have been leaking information to these entities, with the intent to undermine a Republican Presidency? How long has this been going on?

2. How many Democrat politicians who have been serving on United States intelligence committees have been in communications with foreign leaders, their intelligence agencies, their diplomats, or their news agencies, or have been leaking sensitive information to these entities, with the intent to undermine a Republican Presidency? How long has this been going on?

3. How many Democrats, who work for Democrat politicians, have been in communications with foreign leaders, their intelligence agencies, their diplomats, or their news agencies, or have been leaking sensitive information to these entities, with the intent to undermine a Republican Presidency? How long has this been going on?

4. How many Democrats, who are employed by the intelligence agencies, have been in communications with foreign leaders, their intelligence agencies, their diplomats, or their news agencies, or have been leaking sensitive information to these entities, with the intent to undermine a Republican Presidency? How long has this been going on?

5. How many Democrat politicians, their employees, and Democrats who work for the intelligence agencies have been leaking information to United States media, with the intent to undermine a Republican Presidency, or with the intent to have the U.S. Media covertly pass the information on to contacts in foreign governments? How long has this been going on?

6. As Doctor Raoul's post reminds me - How many Democrat politicians, their employees, democrats working for the intelligence agencies, and media employees are currently communicating with terrorist organizations in an effort to undermine a Republican Presidency? How long have you people been doing this?

An investigation and retribution is long overdue for those who have been engaging in these activities.

Very thorough. Nothing that Kennedy or any other DIM does would surprise me. Frighten me, yes....surprise me, no.

God help this country if they win the majority back.

The media did everything they could to shill for a nuclear freeze in 1983-84, producing garbage like "The Day After."

They told us Mondale would win until the day before the election, when they began to cover themselves. Up until then they had called Reagan too old, too stupid, too dangerous, too sleepy, and too ideological. They had said the female vote for Geraldine Ferraro would be the difference. They were lying communist scoundrels then as now.

But I'll never forget USA Today's headline the day before the election: REAGAN SEEKS 50 STATE SWEEP. He was the greatest.

I can think of two off the bat that should be investigated... Jay Rockefeller(Syria) and Bill Richardson(NKorea). Of course, the one that should be hanged immediately is Kerry... for his Paris meeting with the Viet Cong.

If you ever see this title:

Amazon.com: Reagan's War: The Epic Story of His Forty Year ...

Amazon.com: Reagan's War: The Epic Story of His Forty Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism: Books: Peter Schweizer by Peter Schweizer.

in the orphan book section- pick it up.

Open it near the middle, and there in Chapter and verse, are the endless details of Jimmy Carter's systematic undermining of America.

Hell, I lived through that era and I had forgotten half of it. It is sickening to see how much damage he did.

We are still paying on Wee Jimmy's ( like a real President, only smaller... ) "legacy," and the paying is not yet done.

can't forget the roll Jimmy Carter played and playing
Source: Slate http://www.slate.com/id/2065887/
In November 1990, two months after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Carter wrote a letter to the heads of state of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. He urged the countries to drop their support for Bush's proposed military solution. Instead, as Douglas Brinkley outlines in The Unfinished Presidency, his glowing but not uncritical assessment of Carter's post-presidential years, Carter asked the countries to give "unequivocal support to an Arab League effort" for peace. (As Brinkley notes, Carter's anti-war position conflicted with the Carter Doctrine he had outlined as president: Any "attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such force will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force.") Right up to Bush's Jan. 15 deadline for war, Carter continued his shadow foreign policy campaign. On Jan. 10, he wrote the leaders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Syria and asked them to oppose the impending military action. "I am distressed by the inability of either the international community or the Arab world to find a diplomatic solution to the Gulf crisis," he wrote. "I urge you to call publicly for a delay in the use of force while Arab leaders seek a peaceful solution to the crisis. You may have to forego approval from the White House, but you will find the French, Soviets, and others fully supportive. Also, most Americans will welcome such a move." Former National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft later accused Carter of violating the Logan Act, the law that prohibits American citizens from conducting unofficial foreign policy.

Where are the media camping out where Kennedy lives, like they did Rove? This is a clear act of giving aid and comfort to an avowed enemy during the cold war. A G*****mn traitor is the defact head of the Democrat Party. Where are the QUESTIONS? Where is the MSM asking the real questions?.........what's that??.....what??............Silence.

Jimmy Carter Under Fire for Recruiting Soviets Against Reagan

Wes Vernon, NewsMax.com
Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2002
WASHINGTON Former President Jimmy Carter owes an explanation to the American people for his behavior during the Cold War, says the author of a new book.

"Reagans War reveals new information that Carter, as president and later as a private citizen, sought the help of an avowed foreign enemy of this country to undermine Reagans candidacy in 1980 and, even more shocking, tried to cripple President Reagans foreign policy in 1984.

The former Democrat president, who had been ousted by voters four years earlier, wanted the Soviets to help him put a Democrat back in the White House.

Speaking Tuesday at a seminar at the Institute of World Politics, the books author, Peter Schweizer, said Jimmy Carter owes a full explanation, and then depending on his answer, a decision could be made as to whether the former president "stepped over the line from pure dissent to giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

NewsMax.com CEO Christopher Ruddy has written that Carter "may well have committed treason by enlisting the help of the Soviet Union in the 1980 and 1984 presidential elections.

"Its a fair question for him [Carter] to give his account of what happened, and a response, which he has not done, the author told NewsMax.com. "Then, you know, depending on his reaction and response, there needs to be further discussion. The other thing potentially that perhaps ought to be asked [is] that Moscow release any files it has on the meetings.

"All we have right now, Schweizer added, "is based on these accounts by [former Soviet Ambassador] Dobrynin. And it begs the question: Is there any more material based on his [Carters] dealings with Moscow?

'Carter Won't Forget' Soviet Assistance

Schweizers book, which is going straight to the top of the best-seller list, reveals that during the 1980 campaign when Reagan was gaining in the polls, Carter "dispatched [pro-Soviet industrialist] Armand Hammer to the Soviet Embassy for a secret meeting with Ambassador Dobrynin to ask for Soviet help with Jewish emigration and other potential vote-getting issues for a sitting president. The Soviets were promised that "Carter wont forget that service if he is re-elected.

Schweizer reports that when Reagan was running for re-election in 1984, Carter himself visited Ambassador Dobrynin warning there "would not be a single agreement on arms control, especially on nuclear arms, as long as Reagan was in power.

Carter wanted the Soviet Union to help the Democrats regain the presidency. History shows his prophecy about no hope for a nuclear arms agreement to be wrong. It was a part of Reagan's success in ending the Cold War on Americas terms.

Asking Carter to explain to Americans this part of his stewardship is most "reasonable, in Schweizers view. When he asked the former president about this, all the author got was "No comment.

Peter Schweizer, a Hoover Institution research fellow, has just written a new book, "Reagan's War: The Epic Story of His Forty-Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism."

This book may well force historians to revise the history of the Cold War.

Schweizer, after scouring once-classified KGB, East German Stasi and Soviet Communist Party files, discovered incontrovertible evidence that the Soviets not only played footsie with high-ranking Democrats, they also worked behind the scenes to influence American elections.

In "Reagan's War," Schweizer shows how the Democrats worked with Moscow to try to undermine Reagan before and after he became president.

Jimmy Carter's Dirty Tricks

Soviet diplomatic accounts and material from the archives show that in January 1984, former President Jimmy Carter dropped by Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin's residence for a private meeting.

Carter expressed his concern about and opposition to Reagan's defense buildup. He boldly told Dobrynin that Moscow would be better off with someone else in the White House. If Reagan won, he warned, "There would not be a single agreement on arms control, especially on nuclear arms, as long as Reagan remained in power."

Using the Russians to influence the presidential election was nothing new for Carter.

Schweizer reveals Russian documents that show that in the waning days of the 1980 campaign, the Carter White House dispatched businessman Armand Hammer to the Soviet Embassy.

Hammer was a longtime Soviet-phile, and he explained to the Soviet ambassador that Carter was "clearly alarmed" at the prospect of losing to Reagan.

Hammer pleaded with the Russians for help. He asked if the Kremlin could expand Jewish emigration to bolster Carter's standing in the polls.

'Carter Won't Forget That Service'

"Carter won't forget that service if he is elected," Hammer told Dobrynin.

Carter was not the only Democrat to make clear to the Russians where their loyalty lay. As the election neared in 1984, Dobrynin recalls meetings with Speaker of the House Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill.

O'Neill told Dobrynin that no effort should be spared to prevent "that demagogue Reagan" from being re-elected.
