		<description><![CDATA[Islam is communism with a god, the two operate so similarly.  It seems that Gaetan is an agent for the marxist/masonic muslim agenda to destroy true christianity.  Here he writes about Islam in Turkey and he appears to have a personal opinion and relish on the subject.

		<description><![CDATA[To Larry L. Watts thank you for your books. A Romanian would have a hard time exposing the truth as you can see only the KGB counter-information agents had any successes to be heard here.
I grow up in Romania in the 80ies and it was a very hard time Ceausescu was hated across the country. However I never understood why in our schools we were learning English and German but no Russian...It was probably because of the big love Ceausescu had for the USSR.

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#039;s assume for a moment that all Pacepa tells the truth and Ceausescu WAS working with the Russians as a Trojan Horse.

Cui bono?

What would be the goal of this disclosure? As a result Romania would be disqualified as a trusting partner for the West thus rendering the Trojan impossible to be effective. Why would a person (that worked FOR Romania as a spy thus a being a Patriot) concern FOR the Romania and wanting the country to succeed in any relevant way disclose this? It would serve no purpose but affect Romania&#039;s interests in the West thus leaving the country to the mercy of their BIG friend and ally USSR.

Which good spy of any country would do that for the altruistic purpose of JUST telling the truth?

Bogus
Romania and Russian empire had never been friends. Every time they &quot;helped&quot; us we ended up  with a part of the territory of the country missing.
Why would any Romanian at any political affiliation would want to ally with Russia? Ceausecu was not dumb.Pacepa worked for KGB he came to US do take from Romania the only power it had at the time as partnering with the West as a balance against the Russians thus leaving the country with no ally: USSR hated Romania the West did not trusted it we were again alone as many time in our history.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pacepa IS a counter-information agent. He worked for the KGB not for Romanian people he did not defected he went on a mission of propaganda against Romania and Western world FOR KGB. He did not risk a thing coming here as US protected him and KGB also did the same as he is working for them. He did more damage to Romania that USSR ever did in the communist era. To trust this guy is revealing the truth is like jumping of a building and hope some miracle happens on the way down.
Read &quot;With friends like this&quot; written by Larry Watts an American and you will find out what this Pacepa guy is, is hard to accuse an American that worked as a CIA consultant that is pro KGB as you do in your article with other people.

I grow up hating Ceausescu and I am still no fan of that guy but just because this guy Pacepa speak against him does not mean he is telling the truth.
Propaganda works when you sustain a lie with 1000 truths but the lie is what you try to achieve there.
Traitor, Counter-Information KGB Agent Not a Romanian but a worm!]]></description>

Further, it is completely plausible a friar in the Catholic Church could have been involved.  When has that church ever not been involved in politics?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s true that Ion Mihai Pacepa gave a great service to the West by defecting from the dreaded communist dictatorship in Rumania. But now that the Cold War is over and that the Eastern bloc has crumbled I wonder why does he has to continue to be secretive. Carlos the Jackal is in prison for the rest of his life for the crimes he committed, Yasser Arafat, Muammar Qaddafi and Nicolae Ceaucescu are all dead who could really do him harm ? True, Iulian Vlad is still in Rumania but is he in a position to assassinate him ? I don&#039;t think so. In fact the wikipedia page of Gen. Pacepa indicates that the Supreme Court in his country cancelled his death sentence in 1999 but as a former Securitate agent he&#039;s unwelcome in Rumania. 

The KGB did run a disinformation campaign against the Pope. The Mitrokhin Archive are here to prove it, but it is ludicrous that qualify post-communist Russia as a &quot;KGB empire&quot; ! FrontPage does a very good job to reinform the people about things that the liberal medias will never talk about like the jihad threat but it serve no purpose to parrot the &#039;editorial line&#039; of the Western mass media to constantly demonize Putin, this has been a constant accusation from the 1999 bombing attacks in Moscow, the assassination of Mrs. Politkovskaya, the poisoning of Litvinenko, the conviction of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the attack of the Georgian government in South Ossetia and finally the imprisonment of the hysterical Pussy Riots. All of these cases have been exploited to charge him in every possible way. I don&#039;t buy that rhetoric anymore.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear FrontPage Editors,




The following comment was deleted, without any explanation.  Is this the result of a mechanical error, or someone&#039;s intention to censor the conversation?  If the latter is the case, I wonder how much better we are than those we criticize.  






Mr. Mitsotakis, help us understand, please, as what your contribution to this debate is.

I could only see an ad libitum assembly of citations from Mr. Gaetan&#039;s 
article, one citation from Mrs. Livezeanu and a most generic reference 
to Mrs. Gheorghe thesis.

Firstly, you could do better to inform your readers about the ensuing 
conversation in the comments section following Gaetan&#039;s article.

Secondly, Livezeanu&#039;s statements read like those book reviews that blur 
the distinction between editorial signaling and advertising, that is, 
included without any proof or peer-review.

Thirdly, regardless of how short and readable Gheorghe&#039;s thesis is, a 
serious historian would most probably pick one statement from it and 
contrast it to another one coming from Watts and then proceed with some 
level of analysis of the respective sources and such. Yes, this is also 
to be expected from a 2013 graduate in History from NY College.

Looking through this site for other readers&#039; reactions to your articles, I am including here an excerpt from Vince&#039;s comment to another article of yours, from 3 months ago:

&quot;This is seriously, and I&#039;m not saying this just to be mean, the 

dumbest, most simian line of drivel I have ever had the discomfort to 
read. The author of this article clearly has no education concerning the
feminist movement, or of politics in general. Frankly, I would be 

astounded to learn that he carries any burden of education whatsoever. 
To the author, you have, in this article managed to attach a sack to the
desiccated bowels of the American public opinion, and filled it to the 

breaking point, and posted it on the internet for all to see, when it 
should have been flushed long ago.

And please, don&#039;t misinterpret what I&#039;m saying to mean that I&#039;m angry
at you. I&#039;m not. I&#039;m not even angry about your article. What I am angry
about however is that our education system has failed you so thoroughly

and completely. It&#039;s not too late to educate yourself, there is hope 
for you. Please, for the sake of the future of our nation, read a damn 
book.&quot;

Mr. Mitsotakis, please do understand, you are doing a disservice to your 
cause, whatever that may be, in addition to the larger shadow cast over 
the American conservatism/libertarianism, or the understanding of 
communism, here and elsewhere.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Red Horizons” is full of claims, beginning with its central premise that Romanian independence from Moscow was false and that it acted as a Soviet Trojan horse against the West, that have been debunked through verification. Mr. Pacepa’s specific allegations regarding anti- Americanism, technology theft from the U.S., and anti- Israeli operations are analyzed in “The Pacepa Defection,” at my website (“Other Publications” and then the “Excerpts” for “Extorting Peace”).  Not one proved true. Ceausescu was a repressive dictator. And communism proved a blight upon the Romanian people, who still suffer from its consequences. That should not blind us to the fact that internationally, even before Ceausescu, Romania pursued a policy of mediation and of containing Soviet military power for which Romanians can be proud, and which often benefited U.S. interests. Consider, for example, the U.S.-North Vietnamese, U.S.-Chinese and Egyptian-Israeli mediations.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;the article is an attempted rebuttal,&quot; yup, a failed attempt at that.  When the whole thing starts targeting Mr. Watts, it becomes a hatchet job.  Quite unbecoming for the aspiring historian. 


No, this is not about likes and dislikes, but the rigor required by such reviews.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I always welcome someone issuing a defense on behalf of Ion Mihai Pacepa.  Thank you, Mr. Mitsotakis for taking the initiative to defend General Pacepa.  It is stimulating to see an author engage in the debate of its readers, but not necessary.  I have read people bloviate about General Pacepa&#039;s lack of credibility for over 25 years.  I have never read General Pacepa attack someone with honest credentials or who was truly innocent of grave misdeeds.  General Pacepa could have remained silent all these years and lived a life somewhat free of visceral hatred by those harmed by his revelations.  But he did not remain silent and he has not remained silent.  I, for one, am grateful that General Pacepa has revealed the truth as he knows it, as it has benefited us all.  Under Ceausescu, average Romanians were conditioned to believe they were powerless against their oppressors until General Pacepa&#039;s expose&#039; &quot;Red Horizons&quot; convinced them otherwise.  I bear witness to the remarkable effects of &quot;Red Horizons&quot; on ordinary Romanians, as I was on Romanian ground during those years.  They began their rise of empowerment. The truth does that.  I loathe all the incredible hateful things that are spoken about General Pacepa, but nothing said on this planet will change my mind on the positive, powerful and beneficial effects he has wrought by his sacrifice in deeds and his words of truth.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whether or not I am the author, the article is an attempted rebuttal to a book review the author disagrees with by pointing out that much of the reviewer&#039;s criticisms can be addressed directly by doing a closer reading of the book (which really is a great book, by the way).


As such, other then the article not being done the way you would like it to have been done, I&#039;m curious as to what you are trying to say]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have ordered this book and I still have to read it so I cannot say anything related to its content. But, if what Pacepa says now about the Romanian foreign policy is the same with what he said in his first book &quot;Red Horizons&quot; then you rest assure that it is true. It is easily verifiable. The Romanian regime was in a way different from some of its &quot;peer&quot; regimes in Europe, it took cues from Moscow only when it was forced to do so.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I believe that the main themes of “Disinformation” – that the Kremlin ran operations against the Vatican, spread anti - Semitism and anti-Americanism, especially in the Middle East, and sponsored terrorism – are both credible and supported by the evidence. The problem lies with Mr. Pacepa&#039;s insistence that Romanian foreign policy and behavior were almost the opposite of what virtually all of the evidence indicates. That doesn’t make any sense. However, I am less concerned with his motivations than with the impact of his allegations on U.S. policy and interests.]]></description>
