‘Russian-born Disinformation’ Breeds Terror, Slanders US - New Book

WASHINGTON, June 26 (by Karin Zeitvogel for RIA Novosti) – The Kremlin has practiced a homegrown technique called disinformation for centuries, including using it to slander the United States, fan the flames of anti-Semitism and convince “much of the world” that US government was behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy 50 years ago, a new book by former Romanian spy chief Ion Mihai Pacepa says.

“Disinformation: Former Spy Chief Reveals Secret Strategies for Undermining Freedom, Attacking Religion, and Promoting Terrorism,” also alleges that seeds of “Russian-born disinformation” were sown in the United States during the 2008 presidential campaign of then senator Barack Obama, although they haven’t reached the same level of sophistication as in the Kremlin, which has been practicing disinformation since tsarist days.

Disinformation is defined in the book as spreading an idea in a foreign nation, while making it appear as if the idea originated in that nation.

“You’re disguising your fingerprints,” and the Kremlin is a master at it, Pacepa’s co-author, University of Mississippi law professor Ron Rychlak told RIA Novosti, explaining that the ex-Romanian spy chief can’t give interviews because he has been living under an assumed identity in the United States and under US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) protection since he fled Romania in 1978.

Pacepa is reported to be the highest-ranking Soviet bloc intelligence official to ever defect to the West and in 1990 wrote “Red Horizons,” which exposed the corruption and brutality of the regime of former Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu.

The Russian-State-owned media is now touting a book that claims Obama's 2008 White House bid was a Kremlin operation. LOL

Old joke:

When the American space program needed to allow astronauts to write in space (e.g. to keep logs), it spent millions of dollars to develop a pressurized pen that could write despite a low pressure environment and zero gravity. The Russians took a pencil.

I'm watching an obscure little movie called Primer on Netflix that made a reference to that, just 15 minutes ago!

What a coincidence.

“The Russian-State-owned media is now touting a book that claims Obama’s 2008 White House bid was a Kremlin operation.”

Perfectly credible to me.

I’m glad we don’t have any misinformation here in the US; when we air programs where all the white men are bad, and they’re only foiled by a melting pot of black family-oriented patriots, strong and wise women who are quite content to be men, and other assorted “others”, it looks just like the country I wake up to every day.../s

How’d it work on the Moon?

But they forgot the pencil sharpener!!!!

Russia has been doing this for decades....disinformation had it has it’s own command, for them it is serious....it is war, (the silent war)

[TArcher]

Russia has been doing this for decades....

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.

 

It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.

 

The first stage being "demoralization".

 

It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.

 

Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion.  Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science.  Members of parliament, representatives of business circles. 

 

Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups:  those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation;  [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.  "

Why would a pencil not work while on the moon?

[oblomov]

Primer is an excellent movie.

[TArcher]

DID the Russians write anything with their pencil on the Moon?

Nope.

[TArcher]

Tell us, Comrade, was the MYSTERY hand writing on
Nebuchadnez-zar-’s wall holding a Rossian pencil?

Why would FALLIBLE and UNINSPIRED Oprichniki secret police assume dominion over the faith of others?

 

 

"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;

 

...

 

 that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.

Why Is a Bear Used to Represent Medo-Persia?

[snip]

But still, there is the question.  Why use a bear?  A bear is a very intelligent predatory animal, generally keeps to itself, but if you get in his way or he thinks you are a threat to him, look out - he can be really dangerous.  A bear tends to claw and bite, particularly on the head but may do this anywhere on the body, when it attacks and may strike with its paws.  Hence, it tends to use brute force when it attacks to maim or kill.

The attack method of the bear is clearly reliant upon brute strength.  The Persians frequently did in fact use this method.  There are a number of battles known from history in which the Persians brought huge armies to fight against their enemies.  It seems that they figured sheer manpower would do the job, and it usually did.  In one battle they had against the Greeks, they claimed that they brought a million men with them for the attack.  Historians think this number was exaggerated, but the claim probably was made to suggest that they came in huge numbers prepared for battle.  So, there may be an element of truth to the claim.  This particular attack failed and they lost the battle.  But, attacking like this is similar to the way a bear will do, which simply applies brute strength to get the job done, and usually is successful.

The Characteristics Principle applies to the bear because the species itself is telling you something about its behavior, how it will do something, or what it will do.  In this case, it is telling you how it will do battle - with brute force - its method of attack.

Interpretation:

How do I know that the bear represents Medo-Persia?  First, in history, it is clear that the Medes and Persians conquered Babylon in 539 or 538 BC, the date depending on the source you read.  The most accurate date seems to be the 539 BC date.  Second, the context of the vision is that one kingdom follows another.  Since Daniel was living under the Babylonian kingdom at the time of the vision (Dan 7:1  In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.  Belshazzar was the last king of Babylon...

There’s another movie on Netflix - “Assassin of the Tsar”

It’s very clever in its illustration - don’t you agree Comrade Oblomov?
