		<description><![CDATA[Are the authors really unaware that the &quot;collapse&quot; of the USSR was a strategic ruse, therefore KGB notebooks/purloined KGB documents are tampered with.

Take a look at these pictures out of Russia…

Google: ‘Photos: Antonov An-12BK-PPS Aircraft Pictures &#124; Airliners net’

and

Google: ‘MiG-23UB Share this photo on forums’

Then for Russian Naval vessels (take a look at what&#039;s still appended to the bows)…

Google (enlarge picture): ‘Russia seeks sea power with decrepit fleet Base expansion likely an empty threat’

Those pictures were taken in 2009, 2011 and 2001, respectively, not before the &quot;collapse&quot; of the USSR. As you can see, the Soviet era nationality emblem of the Communist Party...the Red Star... is still present. That political symbol of the Soviet government would have been immediately removed in early 1992 if the &quot;collapse&quot; of the USSR were genuine. As the legal emblem of the USSR and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the Red Star emblem can only be present if Communists are still in power in Russia and the other 14 republics that made up the USSR.

Take a look at what&#039;s still on Aeroflot aircraft...

Google (open the first picture): &#039;airplane pictures Aeroflot Airbus A319 VP-BDN&#039;

Note the Soviet emblem of the hammer &amp; sickle stenciled on the aircraft&#039;s fuselage!

Now, for the main paper of the Russian Ministry of Defense…

Google: &#039;Krasnaya Zvezda&#039;

“Krasnaya Zvezda” is Russian (no kidding!) for &quot;Red Star&quot;, the official newspaper of Soviet and later Russian Ministry of Defense. The paper&#039;s official designation is, &quot;Central Organ of the Russian Ministry of Defense.&quot; Note the four Soviet emblems next to the still existing Soviet era masthead, one of which pictures Lenin&#039;s head!

The fraudulent &quot;collapse&quot; of the USSR (and East Bloc) couldn&#039;t have been pulled off until both political parties in the United States (and political parties elsewhere in the West) were co-opted by Moscow &amp; Allies, which explains why verification of the “collapse” was never undertaken by the West, such verification being (1) a natural administrative procedure (since the USSR wasn’t occupied by Western military forces); and (2) necessary for the survival of the West. Recall President Reagan&#039;s favorite phrase, &quot;Trust, but verify&quot;.

Now you know why the hated Communist Red Star is still placed on the bows of NEW Russian Naval vessels (and the wings of Russian military aircraft), and why the &quot;electorates&quot; of the 15 republics that made up the USSR continue to &quot;elect&quot; for President Soviet era Communist Party Quislings. There have been 52 such Presidential &quot;elections&quot; since the &quot;collapse&quot; of the USSR, resulting in 40 Soviet era Communist Party member Quislings being elected. That&#039;s 76.92%! If the &quot;collapse&quot; of the USSR were legitimate not one such Quisling would have been elected President. In fact, such persons would have been either arrested in the interests of national security or shunned by society. Remember, Communist Party members made up no more than 10% of the USSR, and it was they who for 74 years persecuted the remaining 90% of the population.

Imagine it&#039;s 1784 America. The Treaty of Paris (1783) was signed the previous year ending the revolutionary war with Britain. So who do the electorates of the newly independent 13 colonies elect for their respective governors? They elect persons who were Loyalists (American supporters of Great Britain) during the war for independence! Of course, in reality the persecution was so bad for Loyalists in post independence America that they had to flee the country en masse for Canada.

Or try this one out: After the collapse of the South African Apartheid Regime in 1994, the majority black population reelect for their Presidents only persons who were National Party members before the 1994 elections!

Now you also know why immediately after the “collapse” of the USSR the United States wasn’t given Russia&#039;s strategic nuclear weapons, including delivery vehicles, for safe keeping! Imagine that, the freed Russian people not ensuring their freedom against a Communist counter-coup with the assistance of Chinese PLA ground and air forces backing up Soviet Special Forces and Airborne Guards. If the “collapse” of the USSR had been real, then a freed Russia, for national security reasons, would have ensured that its nuclear weaponry was secured by United States military elements. That no such actions were taken proves that (1) both American political parties were co-opted by Moscow &amp; Allies; and (2) the United States Armed Forces were not co-opted, otherwise elements of America’s armed forces would have been deployed to Russia in order to pretend to safeguard Russia’s nuclear weapons.

In addition, the KGB agent Quislings that controlled the Russian Orthodox Church before the “collapse” of the USSR are to this day still in control. They were never identified and thrown out of that institution after the “collapse” of the USSR. The same is true for all other religious institutions in the other 14 republics of the USSR, including East Bloc nations, proving not only co-option of those religious institutions, but that the &quot;collapses&quot; of the East Bloc and USSR were disinformation operations.

For those unfamiliar with this subject, the &quot;collapse&quot; of the USSR in 1991 was a strategic ruse under the “Long-Range Policy&quot; (LRP). What is the LRP, you ask? The LRP is the &quot;new&quot; strategy all Communist nations signed onto in 1960 to defeat the West with. The last major disinformation operation under the LRP was the &quot;collapse&quot; of the USSR in 1991.

The next major disinformation operation under the LRP will be the fraudulent collapse of the Chinese Communist government. When that occurs, Taiwan will be stymied from not joining the mainland. This is why China is buying up gold all over the word. It is believed that China currently has 3,000 tons of gold. When it has 6,000 tons it will have the minimum gold reserves to replace the United States as the world&#039;s reserve currency, that is after the fraudulent collapse of the Chinese Communist government.

The &quot;War on Terror&quot; &amp; Iraq War I and II:

Regarding the “War on Terror”, Moscow and Beijing tasked America to conduct the operation to ensure that while the USSR was in a “liberalized” and therefore weakened state, such a war would (1) create enmity between Islam and the West; thereby (2) aborting any possibility for an alliance between Islam and the non-co-opted militaries of the West against their mutual and true enemy…World Communism; and (3) create the image that the United States is a rogue state, invading/attacking nations with impunity, thereby setting the stage for a future &quot;democratic&quot; China replacing United States preeminence on the world stage.

Before the fraudulent collapse of the USSR in December 1991 Moscow tasked Washington, DC to ready the 1990 Gulf War with Iraq. Why? Because Moscow, after the &quot;collapse&quot;, was going to intentionally implode its economy to ensure foreign investments went to China instead. Russia could live on the relatively higher price that its oil exports (Russia is #2 behind Saudi Arabia in oil exports) would obtain thanks to the United States placing an embargo on Iraqi oil, thereby raising the world price of oil relative to the lower price the commodity would have fetched if the Iraq embargo hadn’t been in place. China has no such export market for oil, therefore would have to rely on foreign investments to build her military.

Then by 2001 oil began getting too expensive due to India&#039;s emergence on the economic scene, threatening China&#039;s military buildup. To ensure China had the oil it needed, and at a lower relative price then what it would have been otherwise, and not exhaust Russian oil reserves, Moscow once again tasked Washington, DC to invade Iraq for the purpose of now opening up Iraq&#039;s oil reserves once again to the world oil market. Hence the March 2003 Iraqi War, and why China is the major player that has benefited from Iraqi oil contracts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Part II

All Western political parties were co-opted by Moscow &amp; allies decades ago, which is why after the &quot;collapse&quot; of the East Bloc and USSR the West inexplicably refused to send into those supposedly &quot;collapsed&quot; nations investigative teams to ferret out the truth, by going over each affected nation&#039;s intelligence files (in the case of East Germany, most Stasi files were destroyed, and those that survived are hidden from general public viewing). 

You see, unlike World War II where the Allies occupied Axis nations, no such Western occupation occurred in the East Bloc nor USSR, making it a critical measure for the survival of the West that the West be allowed to search all Soviet Bloc intelligence files. In fact, the &quot;freed&quot; populations of the East Bloc and USSR would have been demanding that the West send into their respective nations such investigative teams, because they too would have wanted to know for sure that the &quot;collapses&quot; were genuine. But no such requests came from Soviet Bloc nations, proving that (1) the &quot;collapse&quot; of the East Bloc and USSR were strategic ruses; and (2) that Western political parties were co-opted before the &quot;collapses&quot;, since Communist strategists needed to ensure that the West wouldn&#039;t demand that it be allowed to send investigative teams into the claimed &quot;collapsed&quot; nations.

Here are the behaviors that didn’t take place in early 1992 USSR, proving that Western political parties were co-opted: The &quot;freed&quot; Soviets would have been begging for Western troops on their territories to ensure (1) that the USSR was indeed free; and (2) prevent an uprising of any possible Communist apparatus hidden within Soviet governments/militaries/institutions when cornered by Western investigative teams backed up by NATO.

Western investigative teams, backed up by NATO contingents, would have acted as trip wires, proving that the collapses of East Bloc nations and the USSR were either frauds or legitimate.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The fact that people as dumb &amp; as incompetent as Hopkins could become a Rasputin-like influence in government...&quot;



They can&#039;t, of course, unless both political parties were co-opted. The defense of the &quot;realm&quot; means no nation takes a chance on its survival...this is an axiom.

Both political parties were co-opted decades ago by Moscow &amp; allies. In fact, all Western political parties were co-opted, which is why after the &quot;collapse&quot; of the East Bloc and USSR the West inexplicably refused to send into those supposedly &quot;collapsed&quot; nations investigative teams to ferret out the truth, by going over each affected nation&#039;s intelligence files (in the case of East Germany, most Stasi files were destroyed, and those that survived are hidden from general public viewing).

<p>The next major disinformation operation under the LRP will be the fraudulent collapse of the Chinese Communist government. When that occurs, Taiwan will be stymied from not joining the mainland. This is why China is buying up gold all over the word. It is believed that China currently has 3,000 tons of gold. When it has 6,000 tons it will have the minimum gold reserves to replace the United States as the world&#8217;s reserve currency, that is after the fraudulent collapse of the Chinese Communist government.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Does it makes any difference whether Harry Hopkins was a 
sucker for Soviet propaganda or actually working for Soviet intelligence 
agencies, as some seem to think?

Does Hopkins come off better in history 
by saying the poor man just couldn&#039;t see the forest for the trees?

For 
purposes of Stalin &amp; the achievement of his goals, it made absolutely no 
difference. Whether Stalin had to pay secret agents or whether he found useful 
idiots high up in our government (persons too dumb to be aware of the disastrous 
consequences they were helping to bring about) to do the same things for free, 
the results were the same for America, Eastern Europe, &amp; parts of central 
Europe.

Please read, &quot;The Crushing of Eastern Europe,&quot; by Anne 
Applebaum.

Stalin used the U.S. government like a puppet on a string for 
achievement of his goals. The Soviets intended to subvert &amp; convert the 
world to communism, either through covert internal subversion (as in America, 
Cuba, Egypt, Syria, etc.) or bloody bayonet military force (as in Eastern &amp; 
parts of Central Europe, China, Korea, Vietnam, etc.).

Plus, Stalin&#039;s 
worst fear was that he would become encircled by his fiercest enemies, Japan, 
Poland, &amp; Germany. Therefore, he developed a Machiavellian plan to 
destabilize &amp; weaken them for decades to come.

First, people denied 
that Stalin had secret agents of influence in our government. Now, they admit 
that Soviet Trojan Horse secret agents penetrated deep into our government, but 
now say that Stalin&#039;s agents of influence in our government were ineffective, 
accomplishing next to nothing.

Yet, Stalin&#039;s three most virulent enemies 
(Germany, Japan, &amp; Poland) were crushed in the process (rendered militarily 
impotent for nearly 70 years), while the Soviets imposed their will on Eastern 
&amp; parts of central Europe, &amp; extended their tentacles into other parts 
of the world. What more could a Machiavellian strategist have hoped 
for?

General Albert Wedemeyer, who commanded our troops in China, 
repeatedly warned the State Department, his superiors, and both Roosevelt and 
Truman that failure to support Chiang Kai-shek would ultimately lead to a 
Communist takeover of China. He reiterated these recommendations in his famous 
1947 report to President Truman but the report was suppressed, and the result 
was a Communist takeover in 1949. All Wedemeyer&#039;s recommendations, like the 
mythical Cassandra, were accurate. But his prescient &amp; sage advice was never 
heeded because Stalin&#039;s agents of influence working in high levels of government 
were able to deflect, dissemble, &amp; counter the counsel of realists like 
Wedemeyer.

Maybe Hopkins&#039; family will gain slightly more solace from the 
fact ol&#039; Harry the Hop was an idiot, rather than a spy. But for the rest of us, 
it makes absolutely no difference.

For me, I would have preferred Hopkins 
to be a spy, rather than an idiot. We can defend against spies through 
vigilance. But there is no defense against smooth-talking idiots. The fact that 
people as dumb &amp; as incompetent as Hopkins could become a Rasputin-like 
influence in government &amp; have profound influence over a majority of 
Americans&#039; lives frightens the daylights out me.

Here&#039;s how Robert E. 
Sherwood, Hopkin&#039;s friendly biographer described him in 1948:

&quot;During the 
years when Harry Hopkins lived as a guest in the White House he was generally 
regarded as a sinister figure, a backstairs intriguer, an Iowan combination of 
Machiavelli, Svengali and Rasputin.&quot;...

All Alger Hiss, Laughlin Curry, 
Laurence Duggan, Harry Dexter White, or one of the multitudes of other 
high-level Soviet secret agents had to do was sit down with Hopkins &amp; say, 
&quot;Now, Harry, this is what Franklin needs to do next. And tell Franklin that 
we&#039;ve met with Eleanor, Rex Tugwell, Hugh Johnson, &amp; Henry Wallace; &amp; 
they&#039;re all wildly enthusiastic about the idea, as well.&quot;

And then Harry, 
with the enthusiasm of a schoolboy &amp; charm of a Svengali, would rush off to 
sell an ailing &amp; feeble-minded President on it. Over time, it became so easy 
&amp; so routine, it was like a rubber stamp.

Authors Stan Evans &amp; 
Herbert Romerstein suggest that it may have become so easy &amp; so routine to 
get approvals that perhaps Stalin&#039;s secret agents reached the point where they 
regarded prior approvals as unnecessary formalities &amp; did many things 
without them. See &quot;Stalin&#039;s Secret Agents,&quot; describing how some questionable, 
against the Geneva Convention policies (like slavery as reparations) were 
approved at Yalta.

If persons today conspired to take advantage of an old 
man in FDR&#039;s condition (using extreme undue influence &amp; taking advantage of 
his illnesses), legal authorities would charge them with the added crime of 
&quot;elder abuse&quot;.

See &quot;FDR&#039;s Deadly Secret,&quot; by Eric Fettmann.]]></description>

You and Radosh and Haynes are simply lying about Mark changing his mind. Radosh wrote on June 13 this year an email to Diana West that Mark would have agreed that 19 was Duggan if he were alive today. Two months later he come up with a contradictory story: that Mark actually did change his mind. Haynes published a paper in 2013 criticizing Mark without mentioning this &#039;conversion&#039;. Stanton Evans in most categorical terms denied that the exchange Radosh invented has ever taken place. And your third buddy Kramer in the meantime retracted the lie. it;s time for you to apologize.

Churchill was totally dependent on &amp; beholden to the U.S. during that war.  So, his voice carried little weight with FDR.  FDR even mocked &amp; made fun of him at Yalta.

		<description><![CDATA[Harry Hopkins was FDR&#039;s right hand man. And Oleg Gordievsky was a top KGB agent. Does one suppose that Gordievsky might misremember something as shocking &amp; astonishing as the revelation that Hopkins was secretly working with the NKVD &amp; KGB? Really? The authors should be ashamed of themselves for suggesting as much. 

Secondly, when such an allegation is made, one should line it up with everything else that is known about Hopkins to determine if it is consistent of inconsistent with that information.

The authors should read &quot;Stalin&#039;s Secret Agents,&quot; by Stan Evans &amp; Herbert Romerstein, because Hopkins was either s Soviet agent or one of the most naive &amp; least sophisticated buffoons to have ever worked or acted as an adviser at high
levels in our government.  If not a Soviet agent, then the man was an utter disgrace to both common sense &amp; good judgment.  And FDR must have been an utter fool to have relied on Hopkin&#039;s counsel.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The FBI received inquiries during the 1960&#039;s about Harry Hopkins as a result of allegations made by former FBI Special Agent, W. Cleon Skousen, in his 1958 book, The Naked Communist. 


I copy below one section from my Skousen report (posted online) which addresses the matter:


----------------

In October 1961 Skousen participated as a speaker in an “anti-communism school” in New Orleans under the auspices of Fred Schwarz&#039;s Christian Anti-Communism Crusade.  Ed Palmer, a local television station (WDSU-TV) commentator contacted the Bureau concerning “a number of startling and unbelievable charges” made by Skousen during his speech.  One of Skousen’s assertions was that “Harry Hopkins in 1943 had turned over to the Russians 50 suitcases of information concerning the Manhattan Project.” 

Palmer asked for Bureau confirmation that Skousen actually had been an FBI Special Agent.  A Bureau memo discussing this controversy states:

 “Apparently Skousen, Schwarz, et al are becoming more and more irresponsible and have apparently succumbed to the philosophy that the ends justify the means.”  [HQ file 94-47468, no serial #; 10/26/61 memo from C.D. DeLoach to Mr. Mohr regarding W. Cleon Skousen Statements on Communism, New Orleans Louisiana 10-24-61.]

The Bureau received another inquiry concerning Skousen’s assertions regarding Harry Hopkins. An official of the Jefferson Parish (LA) Chamber of Commerce asked Hoover:


“Is The Naked Communist based entirely on fact?  Is the information concerning Harry Hopkins true, especially the part that he obtained and gave to the Russian Communists Top Secret information on the Atomic Bomb and almost half of our supply of refined uranium?” 

The file copy of Hoover’s reply contains the following notation:

“It is noted that on page 167 of his book…Skousen states that Harry Hopkins, former aide to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, supplied Russia with a large quantity of uranium during the early 1940’s. Bufiles contain no information to support this charge or to indicate that Hopkins was engaged in subversive activity.” [HQ 94-47468, #37; 11/1/61 Hoover reply to David A. Moynan Jr., Chairman, Operation Americanism of Jefferson Parish Junior Chamber of Commerce, Metairie LA.]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Messrs Haynes and Klehr,


There seems to be a typographical error in your essay: the last word is &quot;traitor&quot;, whereas I&#039;m sure you meant to write &quot;Soviet agent&quot;.

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Mr Horowitz,

This is the second time I have read the following question - the one in, unconcluded, parentheses - put by you: 

&quot;It is a mish-mash of incoherent theories refuted by obvious facts (if Stalin had the kind of influence to shape Lend Lease (1941) why couldn&#039;t he get Roosevelt to open the second front in 1942 as he so desperately desired? The brunt of the war was borne by the Russians. Was this a Soviet plot as West maintains every other war decision was?&quot;

Obvious facts? Even if Stalin had George Marshall, the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff and Henry Stimson on his payroll it still would not have been possible logistically to have mounted a major cross-Channel invasion of Western Europe in 1942 or 1943. The vast numbers of men and quantities of materiel needed for such had to be first transported across the then perilous Atlantic to England - the Battle of the Atlantic was not won until April-May 1943. 

The Dieppe raid of August 1942 - a kind of trial run - was an utter disaster and caused an extreme fearfulness that endured until mid-June 1944. The amphibious landings in North Africa, Sicily and mainland Italy, especially the latter and the airborne element thereof, were marked by huge and costly errors of gross ineptitude. These were not publicly acknowledged during or after the war. To give one example: hundreds of paratroopers were dropped into the sea kilometres off shore and drowned because of rigid drop orders that took no account of the prevailing winds. 1943 was a year when the Allies learned some painful lessons in inter-service coordination regarding amphibious landings. Those lessons helped make Normandy a success - it may not have been if Rundstedt and Rommel had agreed on the disposition of German armoured units. And if Hitler had not believed it was a feint. Normandy, despite the ex post facto backslapping, was a close-run thing. There was terror in the hearts of its planners that it may fail and the predicted casualty estimates were daunting. When a storm destroyed one of the two artificial harbours there was widespread official concern that Overlord would simply wither from lack of supply.  

You accuse Ms West of &quot;gross ignorance of military history&quot; without, as far as I can ascertain, identifying with specificity the particulars of that ignorance . 

It is fatuous and does you no credit whatsoever to snidely and facetiously ask whether the Russians [sic] bearing the brunt of the war was also a &quot;Soviet plot&quot; in Ms West&#039;s mind. This manner of criticism is best left to ... the Left. 

I have long admired your work and that of Jamie Glazov. Front Page has for many years been a rich source of pleasure and intellectual stimulation. I cannot comprehend the evident personal animus and, dare I say it, juvenile glee you have employed to &quot;Take down&quot; Ms West. Just using that term alone is unbecoming and indecorous.

Perhaps you might consider recalibrating your criticism of American Betrayal and, without resiling from your substantive criticisms of Ms West&#039;s book, acknowledge that the ad hominem element you engaged in was unwarrantedly intemperate, inappropriate and not conducive to civil discourse.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You offer a few items as though a decisive proof of FDR not being a stooge of Sovetskich, yet you do not even see the inappropriateness of your items. 


1) How can you even consider a possibility of sharing the Manhattan Project with ANY other nation (never mind a monster like Stalin)? 


2) The list of monstrosities of Stalin&#039;s USSR and the scale of them is so huge, that FDR, whispering a few objections now and then, did it merely pro forma (appropriate to his position). FDR had cooperated WITH STALIN in ALL GROSS BETRAYALS OF AMERICAN INTERESTS, AMERICAN SOLDIERS, AND THE HUMANITY IN GENERAL (I listed above just a short list of such betrayals).   


I can agree with your word &quot;stooge&quot; (put in my mouth) as a characteristic of FDR with the following clarification. Indeed, FDR was not on pay roll of KGB, nor perhaps engages in other kind of material stimuli - but he did not need any. He - and thousands of others - were stooges of Sovetskih because of the &quot;belief system&quot; of those thousands (including FDR); Because they ACKNOWLEDGED USSR, agreed with the existence of this monster, sympathized with the &quot;ideas&quot; promoted by Marxists, and dared to wish to change the world by CONVERGING WITH CANNIBALS.]]></description>
