Excerpt from the book of KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn The Perestroika Deception:
Golitsyn writes
[March 1990 Memoranda to the CIA]:
Section: The Main Priorities for re-thinking
[book page 116]
The Vatican should reverse its mistaken support for the renewal of the communist regimes in the USSR and Eastern Europe. The Vatican ignores the anti-western design of Soviet strategy. It fails to understand that greater apparent official tolerance of religion in the Soviet Union is accompanied by a secret drive to increase Party and KGB penetration of the Catholic and other churches and to use agents therein for political and strategic purposes inside and outside the Soviet Union.
As part of the program to destroy religion from within, the KGB, in the late 1950s, started sending dedicated young Communists to ecclesiastical academies and seminaries to train them as future church leaders.
These young Communists joined the church, not at the call of their conscience to serve God, but at the call of the Communist Party in order to serve that Party and to implement its general line in the struggle against religion.
In the present phase secret agents in the Catholic and
other churches are being used to implement Communist strategy.
When they achieve their Communist world victory, they will use mass withdrawal of their agents to disrupt and destroy the churches.
Never in its history since Nero has Christianity faced such a threat of possible destruction.
The dictum of the late Pope Pius XII about the incompatibility of communism and religion is
as correct as ever.
The Vatican should reaffirm this dictum and should use its influence and its 'divisions' to defend Western values from the new Communist assault.
The Vatican should also re-examine the possible assassination of the predecessor of the present Pope.
[present Pope JP2 at the time - website editor's note].
Recent books have disposed of some conspiracy theories but have not explored the possibility of KGB involvement.
The question should still be asked and answered:
was the late Pope [JP1] assassinated ?
If so, who was behind the assassination ?
Was it the KGB ?
If so, what were the KGB's motives ?
Book Editor's note:
"[The attack on religions is at the core of the revolution.]
There must be no letup in the war against religion because as long as religion exists Communism cannot prevail. We must intensify the obliteration of all religions wherever they are being practiced or taught." - statement by Mikhail Gorbachev on 15 December 1987 to a group of communist party officials, cadres and Soviet military personnel in Uzbekistan.
With his wife Risa, Gorbachev is a disciple of the late Sardinian Communists Antonio Gramsci - the Marxist proponent of a policy of active social demoralization [attack against morality] and the Marxization of religion.
Editor's note:
As Dr. Malachi Martin, a close associate of Pope John Paul II, has explained, in "The keys of this blood: The Struggle for World Domination between Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev and the Capitalist West" [ Simon and Schuster, New York 1990]:
"Mikhail Gorbachev burst upon the World scene as the first Soviet leader big-minded enough
to appraise, appreciate and fully embrace the Gramscian formula. The only Soviet leader realistic and courageous enough to commit
even his own satellite territories to the dead Sardinian's plan for victory in Marxism's constant struggle for total geopolitical pre-dominance among the nations, and for its total acceptance
in the newly de-Christianized hearts and minds
of the men and women who people those nations....
In Gorbachev's hands ..... Gramsci has entered into the globalist competition. [The Pope] is certain that Mikhail Gorbachev will move confidently into the deep waters of the new globalism with the ghost of Antonio Gramsci as companion and guide...."
[Ed. note - let us, in the sake of truth, substitute the word "globalism" with the more correct one Communism, and we have the 3rd Secret of Fatima right in front of our eye....]
Book editor continues:
Gramsci thought that Stalinist repression is an inefficient means of achieving 'irreversible' political control.
A more effective method would be to pervert the approach of the Roman Catholic Church, with which Gramsci was familiar - namely, to seek control through the possession of the minds of the people.
Thus religion must be destroyed, and worship of God [above Man] replaced by the worship of Man - to 'help Man establish his home on Earth'.
Malachi Martin elaborates:
The professional counter-intelligence experts in the Party-State of the Soviet Union [were] the first officially to recognize the truth of Gramsci's prediction that in following the Leninist and Stalinist policy of fomenting violent revolution abroad they could not create a proletarian revolution in the minds and lives of capitalist populations.....
And they were the first to understand that, in Gramsci's blueprint, they had stumbled onto the counter-intelligence formula par-excellence.
They knew that he [Gramsci] had provided the Soviets [with] .... the most far reaching exercise of deception ever executed by the Party-State, and exercise already perfectly fitted to the international structure Lenin had created ....."
It is important to underscore the fact that Gorbachev, as Golitsyn explains, was the executor, not the originator of the strategy and this key dimension of it.
Website editor's note:
Regarding the attempt on the life of the Pope John Paul II,
as even today there are "reports" which are "suggesting"
that Alli Agca was recruited by the KGB to kill the Pope, Golitsyn has stated before that the KGB would not use anybody as Agca, who had previous criminal record, nor would the KGB use such a method as was used by Agca

April 30, 1993 - Memoranda to the CIA
Concerning the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II, the author [Golitsyn] pointed out that, given the arguments addressing Polish developments in New Lies for Old [Golitsyn's first book published in 1984 - 94% accuracy in predictions - website editor's note], especially those revealing Solidarity to be a product of 'mature socialism', it was clear that there was no motive for such an assassination by the KGB and their Communist intelligence partners. The accuracy of this assessment has recently been confirmed by general Volkogonov, who has written that:
"Perestroika would not have been possible without a secret understanding between Gorbachev, Jaruzelski and the Pope...."
In any case, the KGB was not a primitive and inefficient service which would resort to the use of the Bulgarian service to recruit a killer for hire, especially since the killer in question [Alli Agca - website editor's note] had previously murdered a "progressive" editor in Turkey.....
