Carter, Democrats Asked Soviets to Stop Reagan
FrontPage ^ | October 17, 2002 | Newsmax

Remember the old conservative charge that many of the Democrats here in America were playing footsie with the Soviets? Some Republicans even said the Russians viewed the Democrats as their favorite party.

Now bombshell revelations prove these accusations beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Peter Schweizer, a Hoover Institution research fellow, has just written a new book, "Reagan's War: The Epic Story of His Forty-Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism."

This book may well force historians to revise the history of the Cold War.

Schweizer, after scouring once-classified KGB, East German Stasi and Soviet Communist Party files, discovered incontrovertible evidence that the Soviets not only played footsie with high-ranking Democrats, they also worked behind the scenes to influence American elections.

In "Reagan's War," Schweizer shows how the Democrats worked with Moscow to try to undermine Reagan before and after he became president.

Jimmy Carter's Dirty Tricks

Soviet diplomatic accounts and material from the archives show that in January 1984 former President Jimmy Carter dropped by Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin's residence for a private meeting.

Carter expressed his concern about and opposition to Reagan's defense buildup. He boldly told Dobrynin that Moscow would be better off with someone else in the White House. If Reagan won, he warned, "There would not be a single agreement on arms control, especially on nuclear arms, as long as Reagan remained in power. . .

Wasn't it Ted Kennedy that went to Russia to help them finds ways to counter the effects that Ronald Reagan was having on them... It was outright TREASON...

Ted Kennedy did the same. After Leonid Brezhnev died, Kennedy secretly reached out to Yuri Andropov in 1983 and conspired with them to hamstring Reagan’s foreign policy.

I am reading “Dunces of Doomsday”. I had no idea that Carter threw the Shah under the bus and gave legitimacy to Khomeni. He played a duplicitous role in the Iran affair.

How skewed our history is...Lincoln was a tyrant, he had free people locked up IF they didn't agree with him, even had some shot; the North was responsible for slavery in America as New England built slave ships...most of the nation was against any form of slavery, indentured or otherwise...the south had laws about the abuse of 'servants' no matter the race. The American Negro as well as most Americans have been so brainwashed as to the real story of slavery here and elsewhere. Lincoln used slavery after two or more years into his war as the "reason"...few bought that....he didn't free one slave during his lifetime.

Fake News or propaganda is as old as the hills...professors teach their views from books written by the victors....it is hard to find the historian who writes factually or as honestly as he/she can.

Socialists abound in our teachers....Make you college bound take math...it is very hard to corrupt that....ferret out good historians or authors on any subject...many will be surprised at lack of fact and more opinion they have been taught.

Lovely... I posted a reply in the other thread...basically Kennedy mailed the request and it got lost until it was delivered to Putin last year, so he helped Trump...

Anything, anything, the democrat fascists accuse others of or of doing or of trying to have done is something they’ve already tried themselves successfully or not. You can bet your bottom dollar on it.
