THE KGB AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITHE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY

The KGB generally aimed to influence U.S. elections to weaken anti-Communist, hardline Republican candidates.

Historical records, including declassified KGB documents and archives, indicate that the Soviet Union's KGB frequently targeted, opposed, or attempted to manipulate United States political parties, including the Democratic Party, during the Cold War.

The KGB generally aimed to influence U.S. elections to weaken anti-Communist, hardline candidates REPUBLICAN and, in some cases, sought to influence or exploit certain figures in the Democratic Party to serve Soviet interests.

• 1964 Election Interference: Declassified KGB archives reveal that in 1964, the Soviet leadership and the KGB aimed to meddle in the US election to harm Republican Barry Goldwater and favor Democrat Lyndon Johnson, employing "active measures" to create negative, anti-conservative content.

• (Before the election on Democrat Lyndon Johnson IMHO the KGB was deeply involved with the Kennedy assissination to open the door for Lyndon Johnson becoming president of the United States)

  
  

• 1968 Campaign Offer: During the 1968 presidential election, Soviet leadership was strongly against Richard Nixon and directed the KGB to propose secret financial support to the campaign of Democratic nominee Hubert Humphrey.

• (IMHO -I would suspect KGB fingerprints were all over the WATERGATE INCIDENT and the mainstream media ran KGB generated stories to undermine and destroy President Nixon!)

  
  

• Targeting Anti-Soviet Democrats: Despite the 1968 incident, the KGB did not maintain a consistently friendly relationship with all Democrats. In 1976, the KGB's "Service A" actively sought to discredit Democratic Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson—an anti-Soviet hawk—during the primary by fabricating documents to depict him as gay.

  
  

• **1983-1984 "Quid Pro Quo"

• Ted Kennedy made secret overtures to the Soviet Union’s spy agency during the Cold War to thwart then-President Ronald Reagan’s re-election.

  

  Democrat Ted Kennedy and a close friend and former Democratic Senator John Tunney visited Moscow. According to a memo from KGB chief Victor Chebrikov to Soviet leader Yuri Andropov, Kennedy suggested a deal: he would assist Andropov in undermining Ronald Reagan in the 1984 election, and in return, the Soviet leader would support the Democratic Party in that election.

  
  

• "Active Measures" for Misinformation: The KGB’s "Active Measures" (disinformation campaigns) were intended to " undermine political order," frequently by inserting stories in American media to sway public opinion.

• (going back to 1980's this illustrates just how involved the MAINSTREAM MEDIA at the time we joined at the political hip of the Communist Democrat party and Communist Russia. The only real change today is the MAINSTREAM MEDIA now works for the Communist Chinese party!)

  
  

• Espionage Context: While there were instances of KGB efforts to influence or gather information from, or about, individuals associated with both major parties, this was part of a broader, systemic effort to destabilize the American political system.

*The overarching goal of the KGB was never to align with a specific party, but to further Soviet interests and weaken the United States, often by exploiting divisions in American politics.

Have things changed? The Soviet Union (Communist Russia) is gone but is it really?

I believe that the KGB is still intact, oh the name has been changed

to

THE SVR (SERVICE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION) their mission is still the same (spying)

There are also other Russian spy agencies, namely

THE Federal Security Service (FSB) for internal security/counterintelligence

THE Main Directorate (GRU) for military intelligence.
