The KGB - whatever its current name – says that the remains of Adolf Hitler, his wife Eva Braun, his propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and Goebbels’s family were secretly buried in 1946 at a Soviet military base in East Germany, and that in 1970 they were dug up, burnt on a bonfire, ground into ashes and thrown into a river. The Russians also claim they kept some fragments of Hitler’s body, which they still have.
If Obama realy believes the Russians will help him to talk Iran out of nukes if he only throws them the U.S.’s staunchest European allies, Poland and the Czech Republic, he is more naive than Jimmy Carter. It’s even worse if it is just a cover to give him a reason to ditch the missile shield plans that took Bush so much effort to work out with the Czechs and Poles.
This article in The Wall Street Journal by an Eastern Block defector is not as old as this message to useful idiots - it is from 2003. Arafat is now dead, not saved by Jacques Chirac’s best doctors, but his cause is alive and doing nicely – not least because there is no shortage of useful idiots throughout the free world.
The author, “the highest ranking intelligence officer ever to have defected from the former Soviet bloc”, tells how the KGB created Yasser Arafat as “a career terrorist, trained, armed and bankrolled by the Soviet Union and its satellites for decades”.
But hey, none of what he says is mentioned on Arafat’s Wikipedia page, so it all must be lies, right?
A KGB officer who appreciates America and the West more than American and Western elites do. Can’t say I’m surprised.
He says members of these elites made work easy for his comrades – they didn’t even have to be recruited because they were already working for the Kremlin, whether they realized it or not. Saved the KGB a lot of money and effort, too.
