Western planemakers look set to reap billions of dollars in deals with Iran, if a deal is done on its nuclear program to allow one of the worlds most promising aviation markets to come out of quarantine.

Number 37 in the list of communist goals for the USA from the Congressional Record back in 1963 is “Infiltrate and gain control of big business.” It would be folly to think that the communists actually were not hard at work at this even before 1963.
And as for the GOP (establishment mainly), goal number 15 is “Capture oneor bothof the political parties in the United States” (emphasis mine).
