I got to know Soviet KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov in the early ‘80’s and he actually broke down in tears when describing what was happening to America.

Iowamark, thanks for the terrific Claire Berlinski post. I have been looking for her followup on the untranslated Soviet/KGB files. This post lead me to Berlinski’s post from these USSR files about Gorbachev, the Fraud. http://ricochet.com/main-feed/The-Gorbachev-Files

“It records the Politburo’s decision to provide the PFLP with “special equipment to the sum of 15 million rubles in exchange for a collection of art objects of the Ancient World.” The Soviet Ministry of Culture was charged with appraising the collection and determining a suitable place to house the “golden store.” Given the PFLP’s supposedly principled anti-imperialism, it is odd that nowhere in this document do we see plans for returning these art objects to the “ancient world.” “

Ha! Muslims don’t care about archaelogical items from pre-Islamic cultures. If they couldn’t sell them to Westerners, they would just smash them for being idols.

Wow, I’ve seen his video testimony, and everything he says rings true. It’s so sad that he cared more for the fate of the West than most modern Westerners seem to. But, I guess that is the result of the demoralization he tried to warn us of.

That there was scarcely a miserable group of miscreants on the planet that the Soviets did not, in some fashion, fund, train, and encourage...

Like the democrat party for example. Just ask the bloated worm eaten carcass of one Ted "Fat Turd" Kennedy.

I’m thinking of getting a ping list together for these types of articles relating to Soviet/International Communists and current events. Both for the theories that the Soviets just went under the radar, and stories about how their past activities are still affecting us today.

If you want in, let me know.

Communism is evil. Once a communist always a communist.

An article like this is worth at least fifty of any other articles!

“I got to know Soviet KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov in the early ‘80’s”

Did he have any ideas on how to get rid of the commies in America?

My only idea is in my tagline: Declare the democrat party a seditious, communist organization and ban it.

They will simply retreat back underground and people will forget about them, again. They are masters of the strategic retreat and eventual reincarnation as victims of the oppressive capitalists.

As painful as living through this period is and as horrific as it may become, it is perhaps wiser to let them remain public and give a real face to our misery and to the deaths many of us may encounter. Too many Americans simply will never believe the evils of totalitarianism until they it spits in their individual faces, snarling at them while inflicting death.

I hate the fact that I really believe what I wrote above.

For nearly forty years the Soviet union provided the operating funds for the ACLU. Their original charter clearly shows their intention of destroying the Constitution and promoting a violent overthrow of our government.

The ACLU is a subversive organization and should be abolished with its lawyers disbarred.

It was a pleasure getting to know him over a 2 month period when I worked for a conservative Think Tank. He certainly hated our media and other “Useful Idiots”. He had known communism first hand and loved the United States. I don’t think Yuri is still alive.
