Ted Kennedy, the KGB, and the Soviet’s Plot Against Ronald Reagan: The KGB’s Ted Kennedy Letter
Little is being said today about Ted Kennedy’s attempts to shape foreign policy with the USSR against the wishes of President Reagan and his administration. Kennedy went out of his way to contact Soviet officials and build Reagan into a nuclear cowboy ready to attack the Soviet Union at moment’s notice. Kennedy was proven wrong as Reagan’s peace through strength approach made the world a safer place and eventually led to the fall of the Berlin Wall. With egg on his face, he declared Reagan “the President who won the cold war” after Reagan’s death.
If Kennedy was elected president in 1980, we would have continued down the path of failed policies of giving in to the Soviet Union which always led to the spread of communism. The Berlin Wall would surely stand today had Kennedy been elected in 1980.
As KGB documents were released after the fall of the Soviet Union, a letter showed that Kennedy was a traitor of the United States during the Reagan administration. He wanted the help of the Soviet Union to defeat Reagan’s policies. He played a very dangerous game that more than likely increased tensions, all designed for political gain the following year as Reagan ran for reelection. Kennedy’s contacts with the KGB and other Soviet Officials should have been considered treason. They were obviously against the policies of the State Department. Here is the letter from 1983:
Special Importance Committee on State Security of the USSR 14.05.1983 No. 1029 Ch/OV Moscow
Regarding Senator Kennedy’s request to the General Secretary of the Communist Party Comrade Y.V. Andropov Comrade Y.V. Andropov
On 9-10 May of this year, Senator Edward Kennedy’s close friend and trusted confidant J. Tunney was in Moscow. The senator charged Tunney to convey the following message, through confidential contacts, to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Y. Andropov:
Senator Kennedy, like other rational people, is very troubled by the current state of Soviet-American relations. Events are developing such that this relationship coupled with the general state of global affairs will make the situation even more dangerous. The main reason for this is Reagan’s belligerence, and his firm commitment to deploy new American middle range nuclear weapons within Western Europe.
According to Kennedy, the current threat is due to the President’s refusal to engage any modification on his politics. He feels that his domestic standing has been strengthened because of the well publicized improvements of the economy: inflation has been greatly reduced, production levels are increasing as is overall business activity. For these reasons, interest rates will continue to decline. The White House has portrayed this in the media as the “success of Reaganomics.”

The history of Dem treason goes way back. As with Obama, politics trumps the interests of the American people every time with the Dems.
