Washington, D.C., capital of
the United States, stands at the
00:00:24.45\00:00:28.89
epicenter of world espionage. In
fact, it has more spy's than any
00:00:28.92\00:00:34.93
other city in the world. Spying
has a long history here. From
00:00:34.96\00:00:40.24
the halls of government to
tranquil suburban neighborhoods
00:00:40.27\00:00:43.84
there are scores of dead drops,
covert meeting places and secret
00:00:43.87\00:00:48.78
facilities. Literally a
constellation of clandestine
00:00:48.81\00:00:54.02
sites unknown to even the most
avid history buffs until now.
00:00:54.05\00:00:59.79
Recently new books have been
published that trace more than
00:00:59.82\00:01:04.76
two centuries of secret
espionage history herein
00:01:04.79\00:01:08.70
Washington starting right
back with spymaster and first
00:01:08.73\00:01:12.77
president George Washington.
These books with accompanying
00:01:12.80\00:01:17.34
maps list dozens of spy
sites across the city and now
00:01:17.37\00:01:21.48
thousands of tourists visit
Washington each year to follow
00:01:21.51\00:01:25.81
the footsteps of moles and
sleuths and trace the covert
00:01:25.85\00:01:29.65
operations that influenced the
outcome of wars and changed the
00:01:29.68\00:01:34.19
course of history. In fact,
there's so much interest in
00:01:34.22\00:01:39.03
espionage here that there's even
an International Spy Museum that
00:01:39.06\00:01:43.50
allows spy enthusiasts to
examine hundreds of gadgets,
00:01:43.53\00:01:49.17
weapons, bugs, cameras and
secret technologies. The museum
00:01:49.20\00:01:53.91
houses the largest collection
of international espionage
00:01:53.94\00:01:57.88
artifacts ever placed on public
display. All this is a reminder
00:01:57.91\00:02:03.72
of our fascination with spies
and espionage. Some are even
00:02:03.75\00:02:09.12
obsessed by it. Just look at the
cinema figures. Spy movies have
00:02:09.16\00:02:14.56
always been popular. People
just seem to love the cloak and
00:02:14.60\00:02:19.17
dagger escapades of these
characters whether James Bond in
00:02:19.20\00:02:23.27
the Bond movies or Ethan Hunt in
the Mission Impossible series.
00:02:23.30\00:02:27.94
Spy thrillers are always popular
and often fun to watch. And
00:02:27.98\00:02:34.15
though these are made up stories
the fact is that real life
00:02:34.18\00:02:38.49
spying goes on all the time. And
though I doubt these real life
00:02:38.52\00:02:43.43
spies had the kind of action
that say James Bond might see in
00:02:43.46\00:02:47.40
a single day there's no question
that spying can be a dangerous
00:02:47.43\00:02:52.50
business. It could cost the
spy his or her life. Today we're
00:02:52.53\00:02:58.54
going to look at the story of
a real spy, someone who worked
00:02:58.57\00:03:02.68
during the very tense years of
the cold war. This spy, though
00:03:02.71\00:03:07.58
not as glamorous as James Bond,
took a great risk to do what he
00:03:07.62\00:03:11.79
thought was right. And some
believe that his actions and
00:03:11.82\00:03:16.69
bravery saved the world from
a nuclear catastrophe. Who was
00:03:16.73\00:03:21.63
this spy? What did he do? And
what lessons can we learn from
00:03:21.66\00:03:27.10
this story? We'll find out
in today's program The Spy Who
00:03:27.14\00:03:32.81
Saved the World. His story will
surprise and inspire you and it
00:03:32.84\00:03:38.15
carries a special
message for us today.
00:03:38.18\00:03:42.05

00:03:42.08\00:04:06.44
Bombs exploding. Though World
War II ended more than 70 years
00:04:06.47\00:04:12.21
ago we certainly still live with
the legacy of that war today.
00:04:12.25\00:04:16.18
One of the legacies of the
second world war was the cold
00:04:16.22\00:04:20.96
war. Cold as in contrast to hot
in the sense that though the two
00:04:20.99\00:04:25.73
sides were at war it wasn't
an overt shooting war. The
00:04:25.76\00:04:31.37
antagonists weren't dropping
bombs on each other's cities.
00:04:31.40\00:04:34.14
But the hostilities
and animosities between the
00:04:34.17\00:04:38.17
Americans and the Russians ran
deep. And in any one of a number
00:04:38.21\00:04:43.58
of instances, the cold war could
have turned hot, real hot. And
00:04:43.61\00:04:50.02
that could have easily led
to World War III. There was,
00:04:50.05\00:04:54.96
however, one time in the early
1960s where the tension became
00:04:54.99\00:04:59.79
so great that it brought the
world itself to the very brink.
00:04:59.83\00:05:04.57
This was the Cuban missile
crisis. Now if you want to talk
00:05:04.60\00:05:10.57
about a manifestation of the
cold war then there's nothing
00:05:10.61\00:05:14.54
better than Cuba itself. The
island of Cuba is less than 150
00:05:14.58\00:05:21.65
kilometers off the coast of Key
West, Florida. So in 1959 when
00:05:21.68\00:05:28.06
revolutionary Fidel Castro took
over the country and declared it
00:05:28.09\00:05:32.83
a socialist republic, another
name for communism, well you can
00:05:32.86\00:05:37.83
imagine how well that went over
with the American capitalists
00:05:37.87\00:05:41.74
just to their north. Cuba? Now
communist? The Russians now had
00:05:41.77\00:05:49.04
an ally close enough to the
United States that people have
00:05:49.08\00:05:52.71
actually swum from Cuba to
Florida. Well the Americans
00:05:52.75\00:05:57.92
weren't going to stand for that.
In fact, then kept top secret at
00:05:57.95\00:06:02.56
the time, it's now known
that the United States Central
00:06:02.59\00:06:06.03
Intelligence Agency, the CIA,
had tried numerous times to have
00:06:06.06\00:06:11.67
Fidel Castro assassinated. Some
of the stories sound right out
00:06:11.70\00:06:17.07
of a James Bond movie.
Apparently the CIA tried
00:06:17.11\00:06:21.48
everything from poisoning
Fidel's cigars to planting a
00:06:21.51\00:06:25.78
bomb in a conch shell in the
water where he liked to scuba
00:06:25.81\00:06:29.72
dive. The Americans even tried
to get the Mafia, generally
00:06:29.75\00:06:33.42
efficient killers, to do the
dirty job for them. After all
00:06:33.46\00:06:37.79
Castro had kicked the mob out of
the country. So they had plenty
00:06:37.83\00:06:42.10
of reasons to want to see him
dead. However, the mobsters, it
00:06:42.13\00:06:47.07
seems didn't have any more
success than did the CIA at
00:06:47.10\00:06:51.41
getting rid of Castro. Then
there was the Bay of Pigs fiasco
00:06:51.44\00:06:55.94
when CIA-backed Cuban exiles
invaded the country in 1961 in
00:06:55.98\00:07:02.58
an attempt to overthrow the
communist regime. Within in a
00:07:02.62\00:07:06.86
day the whole thing collapsed.
Many of the invaders were killed
00:07:06.89\00:07:10.59
or captured and the Americans,
especially John F. Kennedy, came
00:07:10.63\00:07:16.67
out looking pretty bad. The
Bay of Pigs fiasco, however, was
00:07:16.70\00:07:22.20
small potatoes in contrast to
what came the next year, known
00:07:22.24\00:07:26.78
in history as the Cuban Missile
Crisis. An American U2 spy plane
00:07:26.81\00:07:33.21
had helped confirm what a
Russian spy had already told the
00:07:33.25\00:07:37.49
Americans. That the Soviets were
constructing nuclear missile
00:07:37.52\00:07:42.42
sites in Cuba. Nuclear-armed
missiles just 150 kilometers
00:07:42.46\00:07:48.63
off the coast of
00:07:48.66\00:07:50.23
the United States. The
Americans had to do something.
00:07:50.27\00:07:54.84
Because from Cuba no city in the
United States was safe. First
00:07:54.87\00:08:03.31
the United States set up naval
blockade of Cuba. They would not
00:08:03.35\00:08:07.88
allow Russian ships with arms to
enter Cuban waters. Second they
00:08:07.92\00:08:13.42
demanded that the missiles be
removed. This too was a gamble.
00:08:13.46\00:08:19.56
If the Russians who
declared the blockade an illegal
00:08:19.59\00:08:23.26
provocation tried to enter Cuban
waters a military confrontation
00:08:23.30\00:08:28.17
could have quickly escalated
into a nuclear Armageddon. One
00:08:28.20\00:08:33.14
later account
expressed it like this:
00:08:33.17\00:08:36.51
Eventually realizing just
how dangerous the situation had
00:09:09.54\00:09:12.51
become the Russians sent a
letter to Kennedy agreeing to
00:09:12.55\00:09:16.85
remove the missiles if the
Americans promised not to invade
00:09:16.89\00:09:22.09
Cuba and would eventually
remove American nuclear missiles
00:09:22.12\00:09:25.76
stationed in Turkey. The crisis
ended but nerves were so frayed
00:09:25.79\00:09:31.83
on both sides that they
soon created a direct hot line
00:09:31.87\00:09:36.24
communication link between
Moscow and Washington. The idea
00:09:36.27\00:09:41.21
was that in the event of another
crisis they could at least talk
00:09:41.24\00:09:45.38
to each other quicker than they
had before and not come so close
00:09:45.41\00:09:50.15
to wiping out the world. Though
the cold war went on until the
00:09:50.19\00:09:55.62
early 1990s many historians
agree that at no time before or
00:09:55.66\00:10:01.10
after this crisis had we come
so close to what could have been
00:10:01.13\00:10:06.90
nuclear annihilation. Some have
argued too that were it not for
00:10:06.94\00:10:11.77
one man, a man most of us
have never heard of, the dreaded
00:10:11.81\00:10:16.41
nuclear war would have come.
The man's name is Oleg Penkovsky
00:10:16.44\00:10:23.35
and some have dubbed him the
spy who saved the world. Who was
00:10:23.39\00:10:28.62
he? What did he do? And
what message does he have for us
00:10:28.66\00:10:34.33
today? Well Oleg Penkovsky was
a senior intelligence officer, a
00:10:34.36\00:10:39.87
Colonel, in the Soviet Military
Intelligence the GIU. Among his
00:10:39.90\00:10:45.77
jobs he was to collect
scientific and technical
00:10:45.81\00:10:48.58
intelligence from the
United States, Britain and other
00:10:48.61\00:10:52.31
western allies. Starting in
the early 1960s Penkovsky began
00:10:52.35\00:10:57.95
passing secrets to the British
and the Americans. He tried
00:10:57.99\00:11:02.02
contacting the CIA first,
but they dragged their feet.
00:11:02.06\00:11:06.76
Eventually in Moscow he met with
a British businessman who was
00:11:06.80\00:11:11.67
really a spy for MI6, the
British intelligence agency.
00:11:11.70\00:11:15.77
They went to a hotel room where
Penkovsky revealed a hidden
00:11:15.80\00:11:20.68
pocket in his trousers. He took
a razor and cut open the pocket
00:11:20.71\00:11:26.08
and handed the agent the
documents. Among these documents
00:11:26.11\00:11:30.32
was a letter that Penkovsky
had hand written to the Queen of
00:11:30.35\00:11:34.62
England and to President John
Kennedy. In it, he said this:
00:11:34.66\00:11:39.49
Before long both the Americans
and the British were working
00:11:50.94\00:11:55.04
as closely as possible with
Penkovsky who working under the
00:11:55.08\00:11:59.35
cover of being the head of
the Soviet trade delegation in
00:11:59.38\00:12:03.12
London would meet with the
Americans and British and pass
00:12:03.15\00:12:06.89
on documents. At the same time,
when in Moscow, he would meet
00:12:06.92\00:12:12.03
with Janet Chisholm, the wife of
a British diplomat in Moscow and
00:12:12.06\00:12:16.87
an agent of MI6 and would pass
on secrets to her there. One
00:12:16.90\00:12:22.20
account described the
meeting like this: Janet
00:12:22.24\00:12:26.88
Chisholm and Penkovsky
made their way separately to the
00:12:26.91\00:12:30.28
small narrow city park on
the 2nd of July. It was busy and
00:12:30.31\00:12:36.15
Penkovsky waited for the rain
to come and the crowd to thin
00:12:36.18\00:12:39.72
before approaching. Janet was
wearing a brown suede jacket as
00:12:39.75\00:12:44.39
agreed. He gave the children
a box of sweets. Inside were two
00:12:44.43\00:12:50.47
sheets of paper and seven rolls
of film. The material was so
00:12:50.50\00:12:55.80
important that parts of it would
be communicated personally to
00:12:55.84\00:12:59.94
the president of the United
States nine days later. It would
00:12:59.97\00:13:04.55
be the first of a dozen such
brush contacts between the two
00:13:04.58\00:13:08.52
in the coming months.
Her husband was under heavy
00:13:08.55\00:13:13.19
surveillance but she believed
hers was minimal. Can you
00:13:13.22\00:13:19.46
imagine the risks that this man
was taking? Can you imagine what
00:13:19.49\00:13:24.50
would have happened to him
if he was caught? Yet Colonel
00:13:24.53\00:13:28.24
Penkovsky truly believed that
he was doing the right thing.
00:13:28.27\00:13:32.37
Penkovsky soon turned into
an invaluable asset to the West.
00:13:44.12\00:13:52.89
For 18 months he had supplied
the Americans and the British
00:13:52.93\00:13:56.97
with a treasure trove of
valuable information It was this
00:13:57.00\00:14:01.70
information that first
alerted the Americans about the
00:14:01.74\00:14:06.14
existence of the missiles there
and so when they sent their
00:14:06.17\00:14:09.14
planes up they knew where to
look. And second he showed the
00:14:09.18\00:14:14.02
Americans that the Russians
had nowhere near the nuclear
00:14:14.05\00:14:18.75
capability that the West thought
and that a lot of the Russian
00:14:18.79\00:14:22.79
talk was mere bluster. This gave
the Americans some breathing
00:14:22.82\00:14:27.23
room. That is, instead of being
so afraid of the Russians and
00:14:27.26\00:14:31.73
perhaps striking first out of
that fear, thanks to Penkovsky
00:14:31.77\00:14:35.87
Kennedy knew that he had
time and that the Russians were
00:14:35.90\00:14:40.34
really bluffing. And so
many believed that we have Oleg
00:14:40.38\00:14:44.95
Penkovsky to thank for the
crisis not turning into World
00:14:44.98\00:14:48.72
War III which, had it turned
nuclear, could have wiped us all
00:14:48.75\00:14:53.62
out. Now what did the spy
who saved the world get for his
00:14:53.66\00:14:59.53
great work? After all, not every
one gets a chance to save the
00:14:59.56\00:15:05.87
world. Well he was betrayed by
a double agent working for the
00:15:05.90\00:15:09.90
Americans. He was arrested,
tried publicly and shot by the
00:15:09.94\00:15:16.21
Soviets. Some argue that he
committed suicide in his cell.
00:15:16.24\00:15:19.95
Either way what an unjust ending
for a man who had saved the
00:15:19.98\00:15:25.72
world and done so much good.
What is the saying? No good deed
00:15:25.75\00:15:31.46
goes unpunished. But you know
maybe you've noticed something
00:15:31.49\00:15:36.10
along with me and that is we
don't see a lot of justice in
00:15:36.13\00:15:40.37
this world do we? All around
us every day our senses are
00:15:40.40\00:15:45.91
bombarded by the injustice,
the unfairness of life. Evil so
00:15:45.94\00:15:51.01
often it seems goes unpunished
while over and over the innocent
00:15:51.05\00:15:57.32
suffer. Look at the innocents,
the children suffering in wars
00:15:57.35\00:16:01.66
around the world. Children. And
I haven't even touched on issues
00:16:01.69\00:16:07.40
like human trafficking, poverty,
exploitation and on and on we
00:16:07.43\00:16:12.77
could go. And then, yes, there's
the issue of the gap between the
00:16:12.80\00:16:18.01
rich and the poor. We've
heard about the one percent club
00:16:18.04\00:16:22.64
comprising the top one percent
of the world's richest people.
00:16:22.68\00:16:25.81
Well according to one agency
that works for the poor, this
00:16:25.85\00:16:31.02
one percent club has as much
wealth as the rest of the world
00:16:31.05\00:16:35.82
combined. And though some
dispute the numbers there's no
00:16:35.86\00:16:40.66
question that the gap between
the rich and the poor is vast
00:16:40.70\00:16:47.10
and deep and seems so utterly
unfair doesn't it? And you know
in this context the
00:16:47.14\00:16:52.41
question arises: Doesn't all
this injustice prove that God
00:16:52.44\00:16:57.05
doesn't exist. Isn't injustice
like this one of the excuses
00:16:57.08\00:17:01.55
that people use to deny the
existence of God? They argue
00:17:01.58\00:17:05.95
that with all this injustice,
pain and suffering in the world
00:17:05.99\00:17:09.42
it's not possible for a good and
all powerful God to exist. And
00:17:09.46\00:17:14.40
while on one level that may seem
to make sense, on another it
00:17:14.43\00:17:18.83
makes no sense at all. Why? Well
because the same Bible writers
00:17:18.87\00:17:24.81
that reveal the existence of
God spend a great deal of time
00:17:24.84\00:17:28.81
recounting stories of terrible
injustice as well. For the Bible
00:17:28.84\00:17:34.88
writers the existence of
injustice didn't negate the
00:17:34.92\00:17:39.09
existence of a loving and all
powerful God. In a Bible that
00:17:39.12\00:17:44.63
has 900 pages by page four,
four we have the story of Cain
00:17:44.66\00:17:51.43
murdering his brother who was
later called righteous Abel. Now
00:17:51.47\00:17:57.61
righteous Abel, the good son,
so to speak, is murdered by the
00:17:57.64\00:18:01.88
bad one. Talk about injustice.
Again the Bible is barely
00:18:01.91\00:18:07.45
getting started and here already
we have a case of injustice. And
00:18:07.48\00:18:13.72
then there's the story of Joseph
a young lad sold into slavery by
00:18:13.76\00:18:18.53
his brothers and then he
spends years as a slave and as a
00:18:18.56\00:18:22.93
prisoner. Now if you know
the story, it does have a happy
00:18:22.96\00:18:27.70
ending. But think about Joseph's
grieving father who for years,
00:18:27.74\00:18:32.17
decades even, believe that
his son had been killed by wild
00:18:32.21\00:18:37.01
animals while all that time his
brothers knew the truth. Listen
00:18:37.05\00:18:41.48
to that father's grief recorded
in Genesis chapter 37 and
00:18:41.52\00:18:46.45
verse 35:
00:18:46.49\00:18:48.69
All through the pages of
the Bible the injustices of our
00:18:56.97\00:19:01.30
world are not sugar coated
at all. Many of the stories in
00:19:01.34\00:19:05.61
scripture don't end like fairy
tales, and they lived happily
00:19:05.64\00:19:08.64
ever after. No. The Bible
stories don't all end that way.
00:19:08.68\00:19:14.65
Because many of the stories
of real lives don't end that way
00:19:14.68\00:19:19.65
now, do they? Have you ever read
the story of David and Bathsheba
00:19:19.69\00:19:24.23
King David gets a soldier's wife
pregnant while the soldier's
00:19:24.26\00:19:28.53
away in battle. In the end, the
only way to solve the problem
00:19:28.56\00:19:33.90
is to make sure the soldier gets
killed. And that's exactly what
00:19:33.94\00:19:38.87
happens. David gets the soldier
killed and then gets the slain
00:19:38.91\00:19:43.75
man's wife for himself. Talk
about injustice. Oh yes there's
00:19:43.78\00:19:49.85
also the story about a man who
owned a vineyard that King Ahab
00:19:49.88\00:19:53.89
wanted. Well the man refused to
sell it to the king. So before
00:19:53.92\00:19:58.33
the story is over the queen has
the man falsely accused. Here's
00:19:58.36\00:20:03.70
what the Bible says:
00:20:03.73\00:20:05.10
And by the way, with
the vineyard owner Naboth
00:20:29.22\00:20:32.06
now dead the king
00:20:32.09\00:20:34.30
gets his vineyard. Injustice.
So here's the reality. All the
00:20:34.33\00:20:41.77
injustices, the evil that we see
in life around us and that can
00:20:41.80\00:20:46.27
make people doubt the existence
of God all of them and more are
00:20:46.31\00:20:51.71
portrayed in one way or another
in the Bible, in the word of God
00:20:51.75\00:20:55.85
Yes in the word of God, war,
famine, crime, pain, suffering
00:20:55.88\00:21:03.22
everything that we hate about
life here is depicted in this
00:21:03.26\00:21:08.43
book because that's reality.
And the Bible is about reality.
00:21:08.46\00:21:13.77
I mean, who'd believe the Bible
if it did nothing but depict
00:21:13.80\00:21:18.54
this world as a wonderful
and happy place filled with
00:21:18.57\00:21:22.84
wonderful people living
wonderful lives that always end
00:21:22.88\00:21:28.82
nicely. But that's not how it
is is it? No of course not. And
00:21:28.85\00:21:34.29
that's why scripture doesn't
portray it that way either. And
00:21:34.32\00:21:38.43
yet at the same time the Bible
over and over again talks about
00:21:38.46\00:21:44.27
the reality of God, of God's
love, of God's goodness and of
00:21:44.30\00:21:49.00
God's promise to one day bring
the justice that is so lacking
00:21:49.04\00:21:54.51
now. So amid stories of
war, of violence, of famine, of
00:21:54.54\00:21:59.95
oppression, of all the things
we see wrong with this world the
00:21:59.98\00:22:04.49
Bible also says this:
00:22:04.52\00:22:06.49
You don't think these writers
knew of the pain and injustice
00:22:20.20\00:22:24.47
of this world. Of course
they did. They suffered from it
00:22:24.51\00:22:29.64
themselves. And yet amid it all
they had known and experienced
00:22:29.68\00:22:34.48
the reality not only of God's
existence, but of his love.
00:22:34.52\00:22:38.49
That's why they could write
about it as they did. And then
00:22:38.52\00:22:43.09
there's Jesus
himself saying this:
00:22:43.12\00:22:47.46
You want to talk about injustice
God himself in the person of
00:22:58.11\00:23:05.15
Jesus comes to this world and he
does only good. Does nothing but
00:23:05.18\00:23:10.45
heal the sick, comfort the
sorrowing, help the poor, the
00:23:10.49\00:23:15.86
needy, the outcasts. And what
does he get for it? Well read
00:23:15.89\00:23:20.73
the story of Jesus on the cross.
He is the loving, caring God of
00:23:20.76\00:23:26.03
justice experiencing for himself
the reality of all the injustice
00:23:26.07\00:23:31.31
this world itself has to offer.
And he does it because he loves
00:23:31.34\00:23:36.68
the world, even despite the evil
and injustice in it. The story
00:23:36.71\00:23:43.39
of Oleg Penkovsky is just one of
billions of stories of injustice
00:23:43.42\00:23:48.32
in this world. Yet this is
the same world that God loves.
00:23:48.36\00:23:53.29
A world that through Jesus he
promises to completely fix and
00:23:53.33\00:23:58.97
make over. He promises to bring
the justice that we will never
00:23:59.00\00:24:04.27
see now. God knows all about
the injustice here. He knows it
00:24:04.31\00:24:09.81
firsthand. He's experienced
it himself in ways that we never
00:24:09.84\00:24:15.68
will. And he asks you to trust
in him, to give yourself to him
00:24:15.72\00:24:20.86
in order that you can have
hope, true hope that this world
00:24:20.89\00:24:25.19
can never,
00:24:25.23\00:24:26.56
never offer you. That's why he
came and died for you, paid the
00:24:26.59\00:24:32.37
penalty for your mistakes. Don't
turn away from all that he has
00:24:32.40\00:24:37.67
done for you. Rather reach
out and accept the gift of hope,
00:24:37.71\00:24:43.51
happiness and peace that he
offers you right now as we pray.
00:24:43.55\00:24:49.18
Dear heavenly Father, today
we wish to thank you for the
00:24:49.22\00:24:55.42
reality of your love. What
a hope it offers us in a world
00:24:55.46\00:24:59.86
that is so full of injustice.
We look forward to the day when
00:24:59.89\00:25:04.27
Jesus will return and make all
things new. We all want to be
00:25:04.30\00:25:09.10
ready to meet Jesus when
he comes so that we can spend
00:25:09.14\00:25:12.84
eternity with you. We ask
this in Jesus' name, Amen.
00:25:12.87\00:25:19.41

former things have passed away.
