Kaarlo Tuomi

 

Kaarlo Tuomi on Wikipedia

Kaarlo Tuomi was a spy for the KGB, who got turned into a counter-spy who worked for the FBI. His story is in the book I blogged about recently. It turns out that his story is told in his own words in another book. There was somebody else who wanted to work with him, but had some negative things to say about him. One of those negative things was his lack of trust. Of course he lacked trust. That's what it is like to live in a place like the Soviet Union. Why is this hard to grasp?

It is things like this that is so discouraging. People just don't seem to appreciate what we've had here. Now you've got other people who want to make sure that story never gets told. All of this, I suspect (that word again!) is coming from the kind of people that once ruled the Soviet Union. They are here, in THIS country.

The price for that book is rather high, just like I saw for the book on the KGB. Is somebody trying to take that book out of circulation??? Kinda like knocking over statues. The truth is not appreciated by those folks because the truth doesn't favor them.

Seems like I saw something on Instapundit this morning about some objections being raised with regards to calling Marxists "authoritarians". Well, those who object should try reading some Marxist literature, these dopes. Ever heard of the "dicatorship of the proletariat"? The trouble is that the dicatorship never goes away. Also, the "equality" is never realized. It's all a big lie. Yet, they've got a lot of people in this country now who think Marxism isn't such a bad thing. You don't see them running off to Cuba or North Korea, now do you? These people are dumb-asses to beat all dumb-asses.

Kaarlo's time was in the late fifties. Those times in the USA were quite different from these times. He was chosen for spy work because he was born in the USA. His folks were naive Marxists, and emigrated to the USSR. He grew up on both sides of the Iron Curtain. He ended up here. Why would that be so? And why was he so easy for the FBI to catch? These days, the FBI couldn't catch a cold. We have slipped very badly, I'd say. Kaarlo had good reasons to be suspicious. He saw the dark side of what human nature could produce. We could all use a little distrust right now. Those in authority are violating our trust. Trust is hard to violate when you have so little left over.

Kaarlo Tuomi died in Florida in the mid nineties. While the Soviet Union was still in existence, he was marked for death for having helped the USA. But he lived, and the Soviet Union died. At least the commies are at bay for now. Or so many may think.
