“Disinformation” is an eye-opening documentary. It chronicles the defection of Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa from communist Romania after being assigned a political assassination. Pacepa decided he had had enough and traveled to America for asylum. He cooperated with American officials in sharing secret information regarding the communist party. He also lived with death threats from Russia and Romania. His book “Red Horizons” exposed the corrupt governments and made him a target.
This insightful, two-disc set features Ronald J. Rychlak, professor at the University of Mississippi School of Law, and James Woolsey, former director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, as well as others. It features archived video clips of Presidents Truman, Kennedy, Carter, Reagan, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. It looks at the disinformation that has been purposely leaked to our country, and propaganda from other countries, in order to bring Marxist thinking across our borders. Clips of various Soviet leaders are shown including Lenin, Stalin, and Marx. The documentary shows decisions made by recent U.S. leadership that supports the idea that things have changed radically in our country. As Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld, director of the American Center for Democracy, puts it (she came to this country when President Reagan was in office), “This is not the same country, absolutely not.”
Although there is a faith message in this video, with comments shared by Pacepa himself about praying to God for forgiveness for past deeds and for strength, the documentary features archived footage of people being assassinated, bodies seen hanging, bodies in gas ovens in Germany, corpses strewn on the ground, and scenes of terrorist acts and bloody people. Therefore we are awarding it our “Faith-Based” Seal. This documentary may shock some viewers, but will also educate regarding in what direction this country is currently moving. As Winston Churchill said and is quoted in the film, there are challenges to the Christian civilization and this documentary does a good job making that point.
