Dave, Sterling was quite well informed, but the left did not want to believe facts, they were an OJ Simpson jury. The Stazi and the rest were KGB controlled and the Greek, Italian German gangs were well set up long before the “convenient” photo-ops that the left accepted as justification for violence. If the media and left did not really know that Sterling was connected, truthful and well informed, why was she attacked as a loon as she was?

We should also not forget Claire Sterling’s 1983 book, The Time Of The Assassins. The blurb on the front of the book exclaims that she is “The journalist who first brought the (Soviet) plot to kill the pope into the open now brings us the inside story she alone is qualified to tell!” Many thought that Sterling may have a few screws looses when she first broached her theory. The evidence acquired over the years seems to vindicate her charges.

“Stasi files” – I’d think these operations’ records were purged.

Regarding Pacepa, yes – I personally am pretty convinced. The fact that Oswald spent 2 unaccounted-for years inside the USSR is enough for me. The story of de Mohrenschild as a KGB Illegal makes perfect sense as well. And then of course there’s the Nosenko/Golitsyn case…

Soon, but probably too late, the USSR and its methods will become a public interest, and the entire history of the 20th century will be completely rewritten. But, probably too late, probably not until the Boomers are torn and frayed and gone. This is a great project for conservatives to engage in, probably the greatest, since without Leninism “liberalism” would probably still just be Liberalism.

Ion Mihai Pacepa has written Programmed To Kill: Lee Harvey Oswald, The Soviet KGB, And The Kennedy Assassination. This work has not convinced me to abandon Gerald Posner’s seemingly far better argument that the former Marine alone murdered our American president. Still, Michael Ledeen provided it with favorable advanced praise. The new developments in Germany have encouraged me to give Pacepa’s book another look.

The odds are that James Earl Ray, who probably received support from some wealthy white racists, murdered Martin Luther King. But could a committed Communist have assassinated him? MLK was no longer among the top ten most admired Americans. His popularity was most assuredly on the decline. Too many people thought that King was getting a bit too goofy regarding his economic thinking and the alleged racist war in Vietnam. There is little doubt but that the famous civil rights leader was worth more to the radical leftists as a dead martyr than an alive has-been. I concede the theory is weak—but that’s also what most would have said only a short time ago concerning the now revealed Stasi agent.
