Ion Mihai Pacepa: circa
1975 (Left) & In American Spectator 2010 (Right)
Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai
Pacepa (Wikipedia-Neutral
info and National
Catholic Register-Critical info) was a high-level Intelligence
Officer of the former Soviet Bloc Communist nation of Romania. At the time,
Romania was one of the worst Communist dictatorships in oppressing its own
people in the Soviet Communist days of Eastern Europe.
Pacepa defected from
Romania and Communism in 1978. His intel demolished Romanian Intel networks
which of course worked closely with the former Soviet Union. Pacepa has written
(often in corroboration) many exposes on Soviet Intelligence operations. Many of
Pacepa’s assertions have been difficult to swallow by Left-oriented people in
the West. Pacepa has stepped on the toes of the Left oriented side of the Roman
Catholic Church (Can you say Marxist Liberation
Theology? [According to Pacepa
and DTN]).
This an intro into
the guy who has written an article for WND exposing the Mainstream Media (MSM)
as a tool for Marxist propaganda to bring down President Donald Trump because
the President is an overt threat to the fundamental transformation of America
to the Deep State entrenched in the U.S. government.

THE REAL RUSSIAN
COLLUSION
Ex-Soviet-bloc
spy-chief tell how 'MSM' have become bona fide disinformation tool
December 20, 2017
EDITOR’S NOTE: Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa is the
highest-ranking Soviet bloc intelligence official ever to defect to the West,
who currently lives under deep cover in the U.S. as a proud American citizen.
In 1988, Gen. Pacepa published “Red Horizons,” which
exposed the crimes and corruption of his former boss, Romanian President
Nicolae Ceausescu, prompting the dictator to post multi-million-dollar bounties
on Pacepa’s head and send assassination squads to the U.S. to kill him –
unsuccessfully. “Red Horizons” was
translated into 27 languages and republished in a Mao-style pocket book that
circulated within the Soviet bloc. President Reagan called the book “my Bible
for dealing with dictators.”
In 2013, Pacepa teamed up with professor Ronald
Rychlak to write “Disinformation:
Former Spy Chief Reveals Secret Strategies for Undermining Freedom, Attacking
Religion, and Promoting Terrorism,” published by WND Books, which
also generated an award-winning film documentary, “Disinformation:
The Secret Strategy to Destroy the West.” A major Hollywood
film is now being produced based on “Disinformation.”
Over
the 66 years I have been connected with the intelligence business – 27 in the
Soviet bloc and 39 in the U.S. – I have learned that changing minds by
manipulating the media is what Russian Marxism has always been all about. Now I
see a unique form of Americanized dezinformatsyia –
disinformation – intent on convincing America that its traditional free-market
capitalist system, which made it the leader of the world, is somehow evil, and
that the only way of the future is the progressivist redistribution of
America’s wealth and its message of free everything for everybody, accomplished
by “soaking the rich.”
The
historic election of a capitalist entrepreneur, Donald Trump, as U.S. president
conclusively proved that the great American middle class wanted to free itself
from the claws of former president Barack Obama’s Marxism – now re-baptized
“progressivism” – and likewise from his ruinous flirtation with the alien god
of Kremlinist autocracy. Obama left us with a wide array of frightening
threats, from a raving, nuclear-armed North Korean tyrant to a catastrophic
Soviet-style national debt of almost $20 trillion.
Unfortunately,
our leftist media – ignoring America’s decades-long war against the ruinous
Marxist concept that governments, not the people, own their countries – seem
ready to ignite a new American civil war. A war over an alien system – Marxist
progressivism – that in a different time and place dispossessed a third of the
world’s population of its properties, killed tens of millions, made itself a
religion and its leader the only god allowed.
Out
of 1,331 daily newspapers in our still-capitalist nation, only two – the Las
Vegas Review-Journal and the Florida Times-Union – unconditionally endorsed the
capitalist candidate Donald Trump during the election campaign, and little
seems to have changed since then.
A
Pew Research Center analysis
of 3,000 news stories published in the first 100 days of
Trump’s presidency found that only
5 percent were positive, and that 62 percent of them portrayed the capitalist
President Trump as incompetent, his political views as
repugnant and his advisers as fools.
As
the New York Post noted in an editorial: “The
New York Times ran a front-page opinion piece declaring that with a ‘demagogue’
in the White House, ‘you have to throw out the textbook’ and ‘move closer’ than
ever ‘to being oppositional.’ Jack Shafer, Politico’s senior media writer,
called on reporters ‘to start thinking of covering Trump’s Washington like a
war zone. … It’s time to circle behind enemy lines.’ And the editor of the
Columbia Journalism Review, presuming to speak for the entire press corps,
penned an open letter basically telling Trump, We make the rules, and we’ll
call out your lies, repeatedly.”
Even
Pope Francis in his Vatican enclave has seen what is going on. “Media that … spread
fake news to smear politicians risk becoming like people who have a morbid
fascination with excrement,” he recently told the Belgian Catholic weekly
Tertio. The Pontiff excused himself for using earthy terms to get his point
across, but he described the media’s current disinformation as a cardinal sin,
and decided to make the war against disinformation – aka “fake news” –
the theme
of his message for World Communication Day 2018 next May.
So,
let’s tell it like it is – the media are disinforming America. It wasn’t always
like that. In January 1990, when U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf, R.-Va., succeeded in
extricating my daughter and her husband from Marxist Romania, 44 American radio
and television stations joyfully proclaimed their arrival in Washington. The
Washington Post was the first to interview them, and I still treasure its
powerful condemnation
of Marxist disinformation and terror by reporter Judith Weinraub.
Soon
after that I had lunch with Katharine Weymouth, at that time publisher of the
Washington Post, and I was greatly impressed by her firmly anti-communist
stance. Later I became acquainted with William McPherson, editor of the Post’s
Book World (and awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Criticism). I was
likewise amazed by his powerful condemnation of what he called “Marxist
heresy.” McPherson even went to Romania to denounce the ghastly legacy of
Ceausescu’s “independent” Marxism.
In
January 2009, however, Barack Obama became the first undercover Marxist to
become president of the United States. For sentimental reasons – that history
will certainly condemn – most of our news media provided cover for Obama and,
in the process, shifted further leftward than ever.
Order
Lt. Gen. Pacepa’s eyeopening book, “Disinformation: Former Spy Chief Reveals
Secret Strategy for Undermining Freedom, Attacking Religion and Promoting
Terrorism.” or get
both the
book and DVD, “Disinformation: The Secret Strategy To Destroy The West”
together – and save!
Today,
America’s “mainstream media” seem to believe that bashing free-market
capitalism and our capitalist president is as American as apple pie. It is not.
Ridiculing the U.S. president is an anti-American dezinformtsyia tool
smuggled into the U.S. by the KGB community, and the communist Romanian foreign
intelligence service I headed, the DIE, was one of the smugglers. (For details,
see my “Propaganda
Redux,” published in the Wall Street Journal a decade ago.)
During
my years in the top circles of the Soviet bloc intelligence community, I heard
from the lips of Nikita Khrushchev: “Change the public image of the leader, and
you change history.” And that is exactly what we did back then. During the Cold
War, the KGB – and its Romanian equivalent – published countless disinformation
stories portraying President Truman as the “butcher of Hiroshima,” President
Eisenhower as a “shark of the war-mongering military-industrial complex,”
President Kennedy as an arrogant millionaire who thought he owned the world,
and President Johnson as a Mafioso who had bumped off his predecessor.
During
the age of Obama, the KGB-style vilification of American political leaders
became a standard journalistic tactic in the U.S. as well. For example, in 2012
a 5,000-word
piece Washington Post article portrayed Mitt Romney, the Republican
candidate for the White House, as an anti-Semitic, anti-gay bully who had
psychologically murdered one John Lauber, an allegedly gay classmate in their
prep school days, by forcefully chopping off a shock of his bleached hair.
According to the Post, Lauber was a fragile young man and his body collapsed
around a spirit broken, thanks to Mitt Romney. Wow! How dare that bullying
brute Romney even think about running for the White House?
A
few weeks later the Post story proved to be dezinformtsyia, but by
then the damage was done. Romney lost the 2012 election.
“We
Are All Socialists Now,” exulted the cover of
Newsweek on Feb. 6, 2009, a couple weeks after Obama’s first
presidential inauguration. That was just what Romania’s official newspaper
Scînteia proclaimed when Ceausescu began changing Romania into a Marxist
monument to himself. Scînteia later went bankrupt. And a year and a half after
its “We’re Socialists” issue, Newsweek
was sold for one dollar.
The
sudden collapse of the Soviet Union proved that Marxism can bankrupt even the
largest country on earth. Obama’s Marxism confirmed that rule; last January,
when he left the White House, 95 million Americans were out of the workforce,
food stamp beneficiaries exceeded 48 million, the GDP had fallen from 3.4
percent to 1.6 percent, and the national debt reached an unprecedented
$202,000 per citizen.
During
my young years, I never dreamed that by helping Marxism – now euphemized as
progressivism – to gain a foothold in Romania I was actually committing a crime
against my own country. But I grew older and wiser, and 39 years ago I turned
my back on that destructive heresy, which has left in its wake only countries
that ended up looking like trailer camps hit by a hurricane, and disgraced
leaders roasting in Dante’s Inferno. Just look at today’s Venezuela.
Now
I am joining the efforts of WND (whose founder and editor was also a Marxist
when he was young, and whose managing editor edited “Disinformation,” the
book I co-authored with professor Ronald Rychlak) to persuade our media to stop
colluding with Russia and with undercover Marxism, and to become American
again.
Make
no mistake about it: While the “mainstream media” play Nero and fiddle with
fake news and disinformation, America is burning. Beyond all the many obvious
threats facing our nation from terrorism, criminal gangs and so on, the threat
of nuclear terrorism against the U.S. is real and potentially cataclysmic.
According to the U.S. Congressional Electro Magnetic Pulse Commission [Blog
Editor: Heritage
Foundation], a single nuclear EMP bomb detonated high above the U.S. mainland by the
deranged tyrant of North Korea could collapse our country’s electric grid and
the infrastructure necessary to sustain the lives of 300 million Americans [Blog
Editor: Futurism.com]. Communications would
cease, electrical power would disappear, transportation would halt. All past
calamities of the modern era would pale in comparison to the catastrophe caused
by one high-altitude EMP bomb – which could be launched with an old SCUD rocket
from a fishing boat off our East or West Coast.
Competition
is indeed the engine that has always driven the American dream forward. Unity
in times of global warfare, however, is what has made this country of
immigrants the undisputed leader of the world. But national unity is difficult
if not impossible when the press, that near-sacred institution on which we rely
for digging up and communicating vital truth, instead becomes the chief
purveyors of lies and half-truths – in a word, of disinformation.
