The Collapse Of The Soviet Union Was Staged

In 1984 a book was published with the title New Lies For Old. It was written by Soviet KGB defector Anatoly Golitsyn. The book claimed that the Soviet Union had a secret long-term strategy to disarm and defeat the United States through a controlled collapse of the Soviet empire that would take place in the last decade of the twentieth century. In the book's most remarkable chapter, titled "The Final Phase," Golitsyn accurately described the future of the Soviet bloc. Communism would give up its monopoly of power in Russia, he explained, as apparent freedom and democracy would be introduced. The communist Warsaw Pact alliance would be dissolved. The Berlin Wall might be taken down and Germany united as "the key to progress toward a neutral, socialist Europe"...

Actually, it was the aliens from Wolf 359 that planned it for the Russians.

This sounds like a plan put together by Pinky and the Brain with Pinky doing the brainwork and the Brain doing the legwork.

What a crock, I suppose they thought Yeltsin would come into power?

Did they have a time machine or crystal ball?

Did they know he would rally the army to prevent a takeover by the hardliners?

Who wrote this, another conspiracy theorist or just someone trying to make a buck?

What a load of garbage.

Ah, but he failed to take into account our counter plan to import ten gazillion Mexicans and vote the Dems into power to defeat the double secret Soviet Union.

(Well, it makes as much sense as Golitsyn's theory)

Maybe, maybe not. I think they were financially screwed, but I don't think they really had much to lose. Gorbachev became an environmentalist- a convenient platform to influence international policy.

Interesting quote from the article: Golitsyn's book has been dismissed as nonsense by CIA experts, pundits and journalists. "Yet of Golitsyn's falsifiable predictions, 139 out of 148 were fulfilled by the end of 1993 -- an accuracy rate of nearly 94 percent," according to Mark Riebling's history of the FBI and CIA titled Wedge.

I’m reminded of the scene in “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure” where he’s trying to do tricks on his bicycle, then wipes out in front of a bunch of little kids. He jumps up, brushes his clothes off and dismissively says to the laughing kids, “I meant to do that!”

No, Ron Paul works for us. It's all part of the plan...

Post any link you would like, this is a delusion of someone smoking crack as far as I'm concerned.

You figure they were behind 9-11 so we could "waste" our resources on terrorists?

All done.
