Kennedy & Dems Outed by KGB Doc: Anti-Reagan Plot in '84

The news is not surprising that Sens. Kennedy and his fellow Senator/skirt-chaser Tunney were in communication with the Andropov regime to mount a PR campaign countering Reagan's aggressive foreign policy. Dr. Sanity in Ann Arbor, a town with thousands of America-haters, has the best summary I have come across. Nut-quote on the old-timey MSM participation:

...if the proposal is recognized as worthy, then Kennedy and his friends will bring about suitable steps to have representatives of the largest television companies in the USA contact Y. V. Andropov for an invitation to Moscow for the interview. Specifically, the board of directors of ABC, Elton Raul and the television columnists Walter Cronkite or Barbara Walters could visit Moscow. The senator underlined the importance that this initiative should be seen as coming from the American side. (emphasis mine)

Yep, Baba Wawa had already earned her Comintern badge with Castro, Uncle Walter was a known Comsymp, and ABC had a whole raft of ultra-lefties when I worked on 20/20 for a while in 1981-2. Dr. Sanity also has good spew from paranoid whacko Gore Vidal towards the end; guess insanity runs with the family "Gore."

Of course, the major media will not touch this inflammatory information with a stick, just as they wouldn't out a homosexual because of their leftist values: Oops!
Tom Maguire has a good take on the Kennedy treason evidence and of the Dems getting busted trying to leak the NIE document, which involves Cong. Jane Harmon in two separate scandals, as she is implicated in the Larry-Franklin FBI treason case with leaking documents to AIPAC.

My guess is that the MSM is now going to call all these revelations "October Surprises" and write them off. Already, a WaPo article is trivializing the concept, in an effort to inoculate the Dems concerning any new revelations.

As one reader noted in a comment: At least in the Kennedy failure to get the Sovs involved in US elections, no one drowned.
