		<description><![CDATA[I think that there have always been incidents where ruthless dictators, with or without an ideology, have become a threat. The problem is that democratic societies do not have the will to respond. IN the 1930s it was obvious that the democracies had to confront Nazi Germany but nobody wanted to increase spending on defense so as to be able to do something about it.. Democratic states have always been like that going back to the ancient world. They always finish up suffering enormous casualties when war become  unavoidable simply because politicians and voters could not face reality when they should have. Frederick the Great said that diplomacy without armaments is like an orchestra without instruments. IN other words it is useless but unfortunately this simply truth is not faced in democratic societies until it is too late. It&#039;s likely that America will soon have a government that is prepared to act on this sort of information but the public won&#039; t like it.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Cultural DNA arguments are interesting rhetorically&quot; 
 
They must be discussed with caution. 
 
&quot;They always have to be weighed against actions because they are behavior-inferential, not behavior analytical.&quot; 
 
Exactly. They are still useful to begin an investigation or to add value to other data.  
 
&quot;A lot of people on this website, for example, make a cultural DNA argument against Obama because he is black and has Muslims in his family.&quot; 
 
 
But only to support other evidence. You can&#039;t use this argument totally isolated from objective facts about behavior. 
 
&quot;In contrast, I found a different cultural DNA argument about the same by Zekeh S. Gbotokuma.&quot; 
 
None of these theories are entirely comprehensive or mutually exclusive. There can be subjective evidence based on true facts in each of them without contradicting the others. 
 
My contentions with Obama are based mostly on the results of his actions. I don&#039;t have any problem with diversity per se. In fact you&#039;d probably be shocked to know what I&#039;ve done most of my life because I worked with cultures from all over the world, promoting &quot;diversity&quot; in education and culture, but not as it is some times defined today where the receiving culture must bend its rules in order to compromise with conflicting cultures. As a choice, one can choose to try new foods, and so forth but to have separate laws for immigrants, and separate standards of behavior and justice...my work in this field allowed me to see instantly when the lines were clearly crossed. 
 
It&#039;s almost the antithesis of what my family worked for for generations. Peaceful integration and celebration of true common values as opposed to submission to whiny lying self-declared class victims. 
 
 
&quot;One of these should be written for Putin as well.&quot; 
 
That would not be easy. On the other hand, his culture was far more homogenous, so maybe it wouldn&#039;t be hard after all. Remember, it&#039;s only the frame for pursuing motives and ideology, but not worth much without direct evidence to support whatever theory is being presented. 
 
Cultural DNA analysis (under whatever label you want to use) is more useful in analyzing people collectively. Individuals are just too...individual to make use of such analysis most of the time. And it&#039;s then really almost impossible to show cause on top of correlation for individuals. It&#039;s not that easy even for groups. You can only be confident when your theory leads to a way to test it.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Since that moment you&#039;ve been screaming, yelling and stamping your little feet to try and evade that very simple truth.&quot; 
 
You&#039;re drifting even further from the original discussion by projecting your emotional reaction on to my words. You appear more delusional each time you react here. 
 
&quot;You then went to the good FPMers play book and immediately started attacking me personally. Name calling, insults to my intelligence and psychological projection have become the basis of your response.&quot; 
 
Play book? I was sincerely trying to show you that it might be your fault. Your struggle with your own faults makes you hyper-sensitive to legitimate criticism. 
 
&quot;Why can&#039;t you simply admit he made a bit of a fool of himself and move on?&quot; 
 
Bingo. If you contemplate this question long enough, you might see where the tension comes from: its you. I already stated that it was a subjective opinion, and then offered my own. You present the case as an absolute one, and your wrong about that. You just don&#039;t see it. Your lack of insight led naturally to a discussion about you, because the rest has already been clearly articulated about subjectivity, explicit versus implicit, and so forth. 
 
You&#039;re a polemicist, and not a very effective one. Whether that is yet another blind tendency I don&#039;t know. Look, nobody expects you to be perfect. I&#039;m just trying to help you trace the origins of the conflict you presented: it&#039;s you.

		<description><![CDATA[You&#039;ve totally lost focus at this point.  Sad very sad. 
&quot;The statement is absolute in the absence of context. Why did you feel the need to take it out of context? This is not an academic discussion about a single sentence but about your claim that we need to ignore the context in which it was published, the way you found it. Why do you think context is irrelevant?&quot; 
 
To start from the beginning I wasn&#039;t the one who posted the original comment on this thread. You need to start breathing again and do something about the foam coming out of your mouth. All I have done is simply take Buchar at what he said. He made an overly simplistic statement and got caught. That is what will happen when someone puts out such an outrageously false statement. You screw up you take your lumps and move on. Simple as that. 
As for the rest of your post they are just the typical string of FPMer insults and deserve no comment. ]]></description>

The problem is that you now have quoted it with no context. The statement is absolute in the absence of context. Why did you feel the need to take it out of context? This is not an academic discussion about a single sentence but about your claim that we need to ignore the context in which it was published, the way you found it. Why do you think context is irrelevant? 
 
Go back to school or get stop trying to cite people for trivial errors or judgment calls that you don&#039;t understand because of your own problems, whatever those problems might be. I don&#039;t know what your problems are because I have so little to work with in this dialog.  ]]></description>

You misunderstood. I meant that deception was fundamental to their tactics since the revolution, and remains so today in Russia. It&#039;s now part of their cultural DNA, but we have a better understanding now than before. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;I find it ironic that one just can&#039;t deny enough the belief in Communism in this milieu of former Communists turned Likudniks.&quot; 
 
Most people who believe in communism or its ideas have no clue where these ideas came from. That is why reading &quot;Dupes&quot; is so helpful in understanding the discourse. Soviet Communism has more adherents today in the USA than in Russia. They just don&#039;t know the original source of these ideals. 
 
It&#039;s like when Obama denies being Muslim. He doesn&#039;t understand the accusations. The accusation isn&#039;t that he sneaks off to Mosques without telling anyone. The accusations are that he was raised as a Muslim, and remains one according to Islam, and that his actions are pro-Muslim to the detriment of all others. He can continue to deny it all he wants, but his denials have not addressed the actual accusations. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The fact that the average citizen can get hold of these types of literature and read them, sideways through a translation software if necessary, speaks volumes to me about how the forces of free information, free thought, and free speech are generally winning out over the cause of totalitarianism. &quot; 
 
Indeed that is true, but only in the long run. That doesn&#039;t mean new totalitarian schemes are not bubbling up though. If anything, it verifies the capacity of man to commit evil.  Are we winning in the sense of eventually exposing it all? Yes. Is the fight over? No. 
 
&quot;I am not worried about Muslims and college students. I was a college student and didn&#039;t meet too many scary ones.&quot; 
 
I can appreciate what that says about you as a person, but the irony here is that you&#039;ve just indicated how in the West we have our ideas about deception that limit our ability to understand the lengths non-Westerners will go to to achieve their totalitarian ideals. Their mission is not to scare you. And most of them are acting human in most of their time here. However, that does not mean you were not deceived by people who will successfully work to undermine the US Constitution and the best interests of our nation. 
 
 &quot;I think there is definitely a threat or a danger, or a red flag going up over the following: ...&quot; 
 
When people take the time to patiently explain their position you will find there there is a middle ground where objective facts matter. 
 
&quot;But most importantly, the US is adopting Stasi-like tactics toward American citizens, embracing total surveillance, eliminating posse comitatus, habeas corpus, and miranda. We are moving toward Chinese style internet control wherever possible, and intelligence services and corporatist gangsters run our politics.&quot; 
 
Only if these attempts were unmitigated by the courts. The individual still reigns supreme in the USA because the court systems are intact. 
 
&quot;These things undermine the United States more than anything.&quot; 
 
Potentially yes, in fact, no. 
 
&quot;We even destroyed our own stock market and banking system, willingly.&quot; 
 
I can&#039;t discern what you attribute this to or what specifically you are referring to. The sub-prime loans and derivatives should have been regulated more closely and wisely, but both parties had motives for ignoring this. In theory it helped both rich and poor, until it collapsed and then the blame game started. 
 
It could have worked if not for Islam&#039;s indirect attacks on our economy. Or, the bubble could have simply got even bigger and blew up later. We can&#039;t know which...but I rarely here anyone critique these complex issues with comprehensive understanding. They usually look for a villain to blame. The US politicians gambled and lost, but we will recover. Socialism is not the answer though. 
 
&quot;A guy like Putin, wrong as he is might occasionally do the right thing, like storm up into Yukos with machine guns and throw Mikhail Khodorkofsky in prison.&quot; 
 
He understands that Islam wants to take over the world and defends his nation accordingly. He uses the same tactics whenever it suits him politically though. 
 
 
&quot;Those are all bigger problems than college students.&quot; 
 
Each problem as an ideal response. In most cases, the earlier we expose Islam, the less chance we have that more will be required. College students are generally harmless if they realize that they can&#039;t deceive us when called upon to do so. However, we&#039;ve allowed so much infiltration that we don&#039;t really know what today&#039;s college students have in mind when they belong to Muslim political organizations. Each threat has an ideal response. Don&#039;t judge your opponents until you know the whole set of ideas and plans. You might end up agreeing with them (at least in part) if you hear enough.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How very long winded of you. I can see why you would yammer on for so long since you have so little to work with. For those new to this mess here is the original post: 
&quot;FP: Why do you think Western intelligence and governments can&#8217;t grasp the concept of disinformation? 
 
Buchar: Deception is an alien concept for the Western culture. &quot; 
This is a very straight forward, and clear statement, the problem is it makes Buchar look rather foolish. Instead of simply admitting that objectivefactsmatter has been trying to weasel out of it on Buchar&#039;s behalf. The exact motivation is unknown since OFM hasn&#039;t been forthcoming on that point but Buchar wrote something that good FPMers would lap up with enthusiasm as it reinforces what FPMers would like to believe - this is often what constitutes &quot;proof&quot; amongst good FPMers. 
I&#039;ll have to address his &quot;thoughts&quot; at another time since I have far more important things to do right now. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t think winning the deception war is what kept them in the game. What kept them in the game was that in part, the dismantlement of the USSR was done voluntarily and planned out by Reagan and Gorbachev in an office in a high altitude airplane. They were kept in the game because the US oversaw the handing over of political power to Russian Mafias and Israeli natural resource gangsters. They were kept in the game also by being allowed to do joint anti-citizen military wargaming in the United States in Denver last May. They were kept in the game by Putin being allowed to hang out at the &quot;Western White House&quot; with the Bushes. They are kept in the game by being accepted members of Bilderberg. They are kept in the game because the CIA took over the Presidency and the KGB took over the Russian Presidency and both countries designated their own populations as the biggest threat to security and started cooperating with one another instead. The fact that our own government formed another whole separate shadow government with even a completely different capital city and uses that position to bleed money out of the United States into itself to buy endless repressive technology has kept Russia in the game too, because they are running the same swindle, and these guys all meet up to trade tricks. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#039;t read the second one yet, but I do own a copy of and have read the Mitrokhin Archive. I have also read The Broken Sword of the Empire by Maxim Kalashnikov, and listened to a few lectures and read some essays by Dmitri Orlov. The fact that the average citizen can get hold of these types of literature and read them, sideways through a translation software if necessary, speaks volumes to me about how the forces of free information, free thought, and free speech are generally winning out over the cause of totalitarianism.  
  
I am not worried about Muslims and college students. I was a college student and didn&#039;t meet too many scary ones. As an American citizen, I have probably only met about ten Muslims in my life, despite traveling to many states. I think there is definitely a threat or a danger, or a red flag going up over the following:  
  
-The GRU taking the place of the KGB.  
-Russian assassinations and attempts on people like Alexander Litvinenko and Viktor Yushchenko.   
-Russia turning off the runway lights and killing the whole top government of Poland who foolishly all took the same plane to Russia.  
-Russia laying claim to the North Pole and revamping their occupation of Sakhalin.  
-Jong Un, Chavez, Lukashenko and company putting on their best wide brimmed green hats and uniforms at a moment&#039;s notice, as if it&#039;s 1985 all over again.  
-Chavez, and for that matter Obama allowing Russia to violate the Monroe Doctrine by parking nukes and nuclear subs off the coast of Venezuela.  
-George W. Bush allowing China to fire a nuclear missile off the coast of California without repercussion.  
-Russia Today feeding and hijacking the American populist movement with nonsense churned out by Putin.  
-That the US accepts Kaspersky Labs as a legitimate source of antivirus systems. 
-US reticence to go full forward with anti-ballistic technology in Eastern Europe.  
-The US adopting a soft hand about Taiwan, and backing down against Chinese aircraft carrier presence in the South China Sea, slowly giving up the gains of WWII.  
  
But most importantly, the US is adopting Stasi-like tactics toward American citizens, embracing total surveillance, eliminating posse comitatus, habeas corpus, and miranda. We are moving toward Chinese style internet control wherever possible, and intelligence services and corporatist gangsters run our politics. These things undermine the United States more than anything. We even destroyed our own stock market and banking system, willingly.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The first glaring thing you said was that the USSR is beating us today. The USSR collapsed in 1991.&quot; 
 
I assumed that you read the article under discussion. The premise is that the same elites are running Russia. Putin is from the KGB. They have morphed in to something new, I acknowledged that. How much has changed, it is not clear. Russia is now the successor of the USSR. OK?  
 
The second glaring thing you said was that we could have beaten the USSR, (even though we did beat the USSR) 
 
We are discussing the intelligence deception war, not the cold war in terms of overt hegemony. Clearly the USA won in that sense. If anyone had asked about that, I would never deny such a thing. In the context of the discussion (intelligence deception) the Russians, who inherited the role of the &quot;Soviet Union&quot; are still winning. 
 
What do we get for this win? We get hegemony, but a divided population, that is easy to manipulate. This manipulation (through deception) leads us to make mistakes that favor our enemies. Guess who they might be? 
 
If you look at the overall investments and returns on those investments, the Russians gain quite a bit for their investments while we pay out to keep our &quot;soft power&quot; as the main diplomatic tool. The Russians care very little about soft power and that alone allows them to win quite a lot through deception because they don&#039;t have to pay much for their gains. The  USA pays for them. 
 
&quot;you said was that we could have beaten the USSR, (even though we did beat the USSR), if we put Hoover in charge of education&quot; 
 
It&#039;s the only plausible way I can think of. It doesn&#039;t have to be him personally, but someone with his awareness and drive to warn those who needed to know, and didn&#039;t. 
 
&quot;This is the same Hoover who slept on the Mafia, denied its existence and had the FBI look the other way while it grew out of control. This is the same Hoover who thought that black people (13% of the population) were dangerous subversives just because of their skin tone, and recorded Martin Luther King having s.ex. This is the same Hoover that was worried that Jack Valenti, movie fascist, might have been gay&quot; 
 
How does that make him wrong about communism? Obviously the guy had too much on his plate and too much power. I didn&#039;t say &quot;if we added to his mission.&quot;  Had he been in charge of communist threats alone, excluding all other duties, and if the FBI had implemented more checks and balances, or any number of possibilities that are merely theoretical. You&#039;re drifting from the point. The point is that the USA was blindsided and few people seem to be really trying to sound the alarm about communism. He is the most prominent character that I know of who got it right very early. 
 
&quot;Pushing Hoover as an ideal head of the Department of Education brings this out even more. It&#039;s like I am reading a version of The Man in the High Castle, where the USSR won the Cold War and the only hope was to go back in a time machine and kill Rexford Tugwell and replace him with Mark Felt. It&#039;s political science fiction. &quot; 
 
 It was just a trivial comment to make a point for those that can understand. Otherwise, don&#039;t sweat it. There are no such devices as time machines and Hoover died decades ago. 
 
If you want to look for specific evidence or examples of Soviet deception, start with this: 
 
 
&quot;The Sword And The Shield: The Mitrokhin Archive And The Secret History Of The Kgb&quot;  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0465003109/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0465003109/ref=o...&lt;/a&gt; 
 
 
And you might read &quot;Dupes: How America&#039;s Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century&quot; 
  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Dupes-Americas-Adversaries-Manipulated-Progressives/dp/1935191756/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1349937635&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=dupes&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.amazon.com/Dupes-Americas-Adversaries-...&lt;/a&gt;

<p>&quot;This is the same Hoover who slept on the Mafia, denied its existence and had the FBI look the other way while it grew out of control. This is the same Hoover who thought that black people (13% of the population) were dangerous subversives just because of their skin tone, and recorded Martin Luther King having s.ex. This is the same Hoover that was worried that Jack Valenti, movie fascist, might have been gay&quot; </p>
<p>How does that make him wrong about communism? Obviously the guy had too much on his plate and too much power. I didn&#039;t say &quot;if we added to his mission.&quot;  Had he been in charge of communist threats alone, excluding all other duties, and if the FBI had implemented more checks and balances, or any number of possibilities that are merely theoretical. You&#039;re drifting from the point. The point is that the USA was blindsided and few people seem to be really trying to sound the alarm about communism. He is the most prominent character that I know of who got it right very early. </p>
<p>&quot;Pushing Hoover as an ideal head of the Department of Education brings this out even more. It&#039;s like I am reading a version of The Man in the High Castle, where the USSR won the Cold War and the only hope was to go back in a time machine and kill Rexford Tugwell and replace him with Mark Felt. It&#039;s political science fiction. &quot; </p>
<p> It was just a trivial comment to make a point for those that can understand. Otherwise, don&#039;t sweat it. There are no such devices as time machines and Hoover died decades ago. </p>
