"Rather, all these organizations have been created, supported, and directed by the Communists, operating on orders emanating from Moscow. "
This is total IDIOCY! How can anyone be so delusional and stupid??
The author is mentally ill, period. Please don't post garbage like this here, it is really embarassing.
You are allowed to have your opinion. But the sources check out, so what's the problem (I own all of the books cited). Do you have something against anti-Communists?
Please use facts rather than empty rhetoric to back up your claims. The article merely states historical facts. The Soviet Union/Russia did in fact support the PLO as stated. The Soviets, along with France, did in fact help Khomenei come to power - with Jimma Carter's blessing after he subverted the Shah. It could easily be argued that Carter was acting quid pro quo with the Soviets. Ever since, Jimma has been a tool of the Communist Party. (As has the Democratic Party. e.g. Clinton and Chinagate.)

Special Importance
(Special File)To Comrade L.I. Brezhnev:
Since 1968, the KGB has maintained secret working contact with Wadia Haddad, Politburo member of the Peoples’ Liberation Front of Palestine (PLFP), head of the PLFP’s external operations section.
In a confidential conversation at a meeting with the KGB resident in Lebanon in April of this year, Wadia Haddad outlined a prospective program of sabotage and terrorism by the PLFP, which can be defined as follows:
The main aim of special activity by PLFP is to increase the effectiveness of the struggle of the Palestinian movement against Israel, Zionism, and American imperialism. Arising from this, the main thrusts of the planned sabotage and terrorist operations are:
- employing special means to prolong the "oil war" of Arab countries against the imperialist forces supporting Israel;
- carrying out operations against American and Israeli personnel in third countries with the aim of securing reliable information about the plans and intentions of the USA and Israel;
- carrying out acts of sabotage and terrorism on the territory of Israel;
- organizing acts of sabotage against the Diamond Center [in Tel Aviv], whose basic capital derives from Israeli, British, Belgian, and West German companies.
In order to implement the above measures, the PLFP is currently preparing a number of special operations, including strikes against large oil-storage installations in various countries (Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf, Hong Kong, et al.), the destruction of oil tankers and supertankers, actions against American and Israeli representatives in Iran, Greece, Ethiopia, Kenya, an attack on the Diamond Center in Tel Aviv, etc.
W. Haddad asks that we help his organization with the procurement of several kinds of special technology necessary for carrying out certain sabotage operations.
Cooperating with us and appealing for our help, W. Haddad is fully aware of our opposition to terrorism in principle, and does not pose any questions to us connected with this sphere of the PLFP’s activity.
The nature of our relations with W. Haddad allows us a degree of control over the activities of the PLFP’s external operations section, to exercise an influence favorable to the USSR, and also to reach some of our own aims through the activities of the PLFP while observing the necessary secrecy.
In view of the above, we feel it would be feasible, at the next meeting, to give a generally favorable response to Wadia Haddad’s request for special assistance to the PLFP. As for concrete questions of supplying aid, it is envisaged that every in-stance will be decided on an individual basis, bearing in mind the interests of the Soviet Union and preventing any detriment to the security of our country.
We request authorization.
