Devin Nunes is proof that former president Barack Obama and Democratic Party leaders wanted to transform the U.S. into a Russian-style intelligence dictatorship — and the FBI into a KGB-style instrument for rewriting American history by smearing its capitalist politicians.]]>Fri, 09 Feb 2018 10:24:24 -0500<![CDATA[Ion Mihai Pacepa]]>https://pjmedia.com/ion-mihai-pacepa/2018/02/09/know-dems-intel-abuse-reminiscent-work-ceausescu-n123740An Immigrant's Salute to Our Heroes<![CDATA[]]>Mon, 26 May 2014 04:00:35 -0400<![CDATA[Ion Mihai Pacepa]]>https://pjmedia.com/ion-mihai-pacepa/2014/05/26/an-immigrants-salute-to-our-heroes-n12236711 Reasons To Reject JFK Assassination Conspiracy Theories<![CDATA[Editor’s Note: This article was first published in in November of 2013 as “The New Proof of the KGB’s Hand in JFK’s Assassination” and “11 Facts That Destroy JFK Conspiracy Theories” parts 1, 2, and 3.

It is no wonder that last September, when terrorists assassinated our ambassador to Libya and three of his subordinates, the White House scurried for cover behind Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice. Both initially went out of their way to persuade the country that we were not dealing with terrorism, and when that didn’t fly, blamed the intelligence community. The farce was a deliberate diversion designed to throw dust in the country’s eyes, and it should be treated as such.]]>Mon, 22 Oct 2012 09:50:30 -0400<![CDATA[Ion Mihai Pacepa]]><![CDATA[Abortion]]><![CDATA[activism]]><![CDATA[Adoption]]>https://pjmedia.com/ion-mihai-pacepa/2012/10/22/prevention-the-primary-goal-neglected-by-obamas-foreign-policy-2-n122244How the Soviet Union Seeded Antisemitism into The Nation<![CDATA[On September 28, 2012, The Nation, America’s “flagship of the left,” exploded in an un-American burst of antisemitism.

That is nothing more than a fairytale lullaby designed to put American outrage to sleep. The only reaction to this fantasy seems to have been among the Muslim terrorist leaders, who understand it as a go-ahead to attack our embassies all around the world with impunity. Our embassy in Pakistan is now under siege. Thousands of other “angry” Muslims are now screaming “Death to America” and burning American flags in front of our embassies in Egypt, Indonesia, Sudan, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Tunisia, Yemen, Germany, and Great Britain, to mention just a few.]]>Sat, 22 Sep 2012 23:29:30 -0400<![CDATA[Ion Mihai Pacepa]]>https://pjmedia.com/ion-mihai-pacepa/2012/09/22/when-you-appease-tyrants-they-just-hate-you-even-more-n122234Why This Year's GOP Convention Will Be Historic<![CDATA[This year’s Republican National Convention will be as historically significant as the one that nominated Abraham Lincoln for the White House. The 1860 Republican Convention was a prelude to our country’s rejection of slavery. The 2012 Republican Convention will liberate our country from the Obama administration’s creeping Marxism. We are glad that our Roger L. Simon is there, in Tampa, to keep us updated, minute by minute.]]>Sun, 26 Aug 2012 00:00:36 -0400<![CDATA[Ion Mihai Pacepa]]>https://pjmedia.com/ion-mihai-pacepa/2012/08/26/why-this-years-gop-convention-will-be-historic-n122230Romney, ‘Capitalist Pigs,’ and Khrushchev<![CDATA[President Barack Obama’s is currently maligning extremely successful businesman Mitt Romney as a man heartlessly engaged in the exploitation of American labor and the outsourcing of their jobs to foreign countries. I am reminded of Nikita Khrushchev’s portrayal of his competitor, President John F. Kennedy, as a “capitalist pig.”]]>Mon, 23 Jul 2012 07:12:24 -0400<![CDATA[Ion Mihai Pacepa]]>https://pjmedia.com/ion-mihai-pacepa/2012/07/23/romney-capitalist-pigs-and-khrushchev-n122221Romania's 20-Year Nightmare: Unraveling Socialized Health Care<![CDATA[In my other life in Communist Romania, I managed a large intelligence organization that, among other tasks, was charged with keeping alive a nationalized health care system which in the end bankrupted the country and generated popular contempt. That system, very similar to the Affordable Health Care for America Act, was a bureaucratic nightmare. And it still is a nightmare in the former Soviet empire.]]>Fri, 06 Jul 2012 07:27:01 -0400<![CDATA[Ion Mihai Pacepa]]>https://pjmedia.com/ion-mihai-pacepa/2012/07/06/romanias-20-year-nightmare-unraveling-socialized-health-care-n122217The Gods of Socialism<![CDATA[In my former life, I walked in all kinds of Marxist moccasins over many miles and for many years, and I know for a fact that Marxism, no matter how disguised, always begins its way to power by preaching the need to change — a society, a country, a group of countries, the whole world. Of course, people everywhere want their leaders to do a better job than their predecessors did. But “change” is also the very quintessence of Marxism, which is built upon the dialectical materialist tenet that “quantitative changes generate qualitative transformations.” (Translation for the media savvy: If you say it often enough, it becomes the truth.)]]>Wed, 20 Jun 2012 07:11:11 -0400<![CDATA[Ion Mihai Pacepa]]>https://pjmedia.com/ion-mihai-pacepa/2012/06/20/the-gods-of-socialism-n122212Marx's Ghost<![CDATA[I grew up with the picture of the U.S. president hanging on the wall of our house in Bucharest. My father, who spent most of his life working for the General Motors dealership in Romania, loved America, but he never set foot in this country. For him, America was just the place of his dreams, thousands of miles away. For him, the American president was its tangible symbol. At the end of WWII, we had President Truman on the wall. For us and for many millions around the world, he had saved civilization from the barbarism of Nazism, and he had restored our freedom — for a while. From the Voice of America and the BBC we learned that America loved Truman, and we loved America. It was as simple as that.]]>Sat, 09 Jun 2012 00:00:49 -0400<![CDATA[Ion Mihai Pacepa]]>https://pjmedia.com/ion-mihai-pacepa/2012/06/09/marxs-ghost-n122208The Socialist Mask of Marxism<![CDATA[History usually repeats itself, and if you have lived two lives, as I have done, you have a good chance of seeing that re-enactment with your own eyes. In 1978, I paid with two death sentences from my native Romania for helping her people rid themselves of their Marxist dictatorship, carefully disguised as socialism. Thirty years later I witnessed how the same Marxism, camouflaged as socialism, began infecting the shores of my adoptive country, the United States, which had just won a 44-year Cold War against Marxism and against its earthly incarnation, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.]]>Mon, 04 Jun 2012 00:00:49 -0400<![CDATA[Ion Mihai Pacepa]]>https://pjmedia.com/ion-mihai-pacepa/2012/06/04/the-socialist-mask-of-marxism-n122202
