CANTON, Ohio, Jan. 4 -- The highest-ranking Soviet and Eastern Bloc Intelligence Official ever to defect to America (in 1978) -- who went on to help Ronald Reagan win the Cold War -- has endorsed Paul Schiffer, Republican candidate for Congress in Ohio's 16th Congressional District. Pacepa escaped Romania to become an American citizen.
Lt. General Ion Mihai Pacepa's statement follows:
"Thirty-one years ago I paid with two-death sentences--from Communist Romania--for my desire to break with Marxism and become a citizen of the greatest country on earth. All former Soviet satellites have now 'defected' from Marx's socialism, which had transformed a third of the world into an abysmal 20th century feudalism. Great Britain, Italy, Germany, France and Greece have also abandoned their ruinous experiments with Marx's socialism.
"Alas, now the virus of Marxism with its fatal governmental takeovers has started infecting our shores. If the Democratic Party has its way, it will transform the United States into a socialist country in all but name. The 2010 elections could prevent that catastrophe from happening.
"I am grateful that Paul Schiffer has decided to run for the U.S. Congress, and I appeal to the people of the 16th Congressional District in Ohio, to vote for him. I know Paul well. I am sure that, once in the U.S. Congress, he will do everything in his power to keep the United States the best and most powerful country on earth.
"Thirty-nine more Paul Shiffers in the 2010 Congress will put an end to the Democratic Party's dictatorship, and that will restore our country's place as the beacon of freedom and free market economics that was conceived by her founders--and which it has always been."
Gen. Pacepa's book Red Horizons (Regnery 1987) has been published in 27 countries. Pacepa was a top advisor to Nikita Kruschev, Leonid Brezhnev, and Romanian Dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu. In 2007, Pacepa defended Pope Pius XII, exposing how the KGB planted smears against the anti-communist Catholic leader. Pacepa also revealed the KGB's invention of "liberation theology" to co-opt Christian Churches to espouse communism throughout Latin America.
Congressional Candidate Paul Schiffer has been an expert in foreign affairs, working for a strong America and a safer world for twenty years. That includes his 15 years as a radio talk show host centered in Ohio, where he is now running for Congress. Schiffer, a former Marine, also ran in 2008. In April 2004, Schiffer played a key role in bringing together the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Schiffer reported the Iraqi invasion from inside Israel, interviewed freedom fighters from deep inside Iran on the air, and worked with key Iraqi leaders before America's liberation of Iraq.

If only that abandonment were more thorough for Great Britain, etc..
Is this the guy how has all those videos from the 80’s on youtube?
This guy needs to get around the USA so more!
“If only that abandonment were more thorough for Great Britain, etc..”
I was thinking that I must have missed where the UK ceased incrementally becoming the nanny state that records, watches, and controls all aspect of subjects’ lives. There must be central planners in the UK government using Brave New World and 1984 as guidebooks, not warnings.
They have? Oh... he must mean they've abandoned Marxism for Islamofascism.
Things were certainly a lot worse in terms of government ownership from the 60s into the 70s, but the post-Thatcher backsliding has been corrosive.
You're probably thinking of Yuri Bezmenov. The guy in the article is was a Romanian Lt. General.
No, that was Yuri Bezmenov.
No he isn't. You're thinking of Yuri Bezmenov.
In the 1980’s, an ex-KGB officer and Russian defector, Yuri Bezmenov, did his absolute best to warn Americans about 60’s radicals who were slowly converting America to a Marxist country using an overt process called “Ideological Subversion”.
It has nothing to do with a conspiracy theory or grand new world order. It is overt, out in the open, in your face (a la Bill Ayers, Acorn, SEIU, Barack Obama).
There are 4 stages to Ideological Subversion:
1. Demoralization
2. Destabilization
3. Crisis (we are at the beginning of this stage)
4. Normalization (which is anything but normal).
This video features Yuri Bezmenov describing exactly how Ideological Subversion works (sounds eerily familiar). As you mentioned, there are many more Bezmenov videos, but this is a good “starter” if you want to introduce someone to him.

The video has over 127,000 views, but it needs to have 100 million.
There was also an excellent recent 2009 American Thinker article about Mr. Bezmenov and Ideological Subversion:

This progressive cancer has been growing over the last 40+ years and is close to destroying our country.
People need to realize that we got to this sorry point in our country’s history by design, not by accident.
Now you know why the liberal elites don’t send their kids to the government schools....
