"The KGB files Mitrokhin retrieved indicate that Kennedy fixed the blame for heightened international tensions on the Carter White House, not on the Kremlin. Kennedy at the time was challenging incumbent Carter for the Democratic nomination for president."

YES, it went right down the Orwellian memory-hole, but Teddy the Swimmer was more squishy-pink than Jimmy Carter and was challenging Carter from the left wing of the 'Rat party for the 1980 presidential nomination. That was unheard of, a leading party figure trying to take down their own sitting president who was running for re-election.

Kinda like his lap dawg Johnny trying to cut the dems off at the knees with the radical brownshirt truthers!

History has a way of repeating. God help us all!

Well no, ever hear of Eugene McCarthy? However "Clean Gene" was not, AFAIK, collaborating with the enemies of the US when he ran against LBJ in the primaries. His strong showing in New Hampshire brought Fat Red Ted's brother Robert into the race. That set Bobbie up for Sirhan Sirhan (A Palestinian, BTW) leading to the nomination of LBJ's VP, Humphrey, who then lost to "Tricky Dick" (Ike's VP). RMN had previously been beaten by JFK (Kennedy, not Kerri)
