"a new Russian propaganda machine, aimed at leading nations and built like the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Long-term-wise, the Council for Business Cooperation is expected to lobby Russia’s major strategic interests in the United States. A special attention will be given to the creation and fostering strong informal relations with key figures of the American establishment, business elite and journalists."
Well, this is a good move on their part. As I have been posting on this site for over a year, Russia has a deep and powerful influence over the American Left. They started building it in the 20s and 30s and numerous instances of Russian penetration of our society were uncovered through the 40s and 50s.
By the 1960s, the Russians had reached the point where no more instances of Russian penetration of our society were reported publicly. Partly this was a result of refinement out their penetration techniques---but mainly it was just a question of the Russians having so much influence in our media, in academia, etc. that people became increasingly reluctant to talk about what was going on. After all, does any clearheaded person with common sense really believe that the New Left of the 1960s was not under Russian influence? I have been told that the CIA uncovered connections between the Weatherman and Russia, but this is just hearsay, I have seen no published evidence to this effect.
As the groups talking about Russian penetration of American society became small "splinter groups", it became easy for the Russians to penetrate those groups and turn them aside from any useful purpose.
These all are multiple advantages to the current system they are putting into place. No longer would it be possible for a researcher to discover a "smoking gun" to reveal the powerful influence the Russians are having on American society. By setting up a legitimate linkage between the Russian government and people in the American society they wish to influence, the Russians can de-emphasize former methods of control---particularly people traveling outside the United States to be indoctrinated, debriefed, etc.
These methods, while secure in their operation, left a trail. Consider Bill Clinton's travels through Eastern Europe and Russia in the 1970s.
In addition, covert Leftist penetration into American society is moving outside its traditional boundaries. The Republican Party is starting to be be infiltrated by covert leftists, to an extent. I would be very surprised if fundamentalist Christian sects are not also beginning to be penetrated. The leftist influence and big corporations does not have to be speculated about---numerous overt examples exist. All of this will be aided greatly by this new organization.
The question, as before, is a simple one. Will conservative Republicans acknowledge this covert Russian assault on the fabric of American society, or will they continue to attribute the Left to things such as "cultural Marxism", the "decline of society", etc?
America is under attack by a foreign power, just as Europe was before it, and it is the same power. We conservative Republicans have the capability of victory in this struggle---but we cannot win this struggle without identifying our enemy and speaking his name openly to each other. If conservative Republicans can not understand that the Russians are behind what is going on in the Left in America, our society will be destroyed.
To exit from my Ping list, just send me one request to that effect, public or private.

Putin has the cold-blooded look of a snake. Why in God's name are we outsourcing our work to these people? Isn't it enough that we are funding China's military?

These people are witless too - and no help on the war on terror.

They're up to no good..
Taking a page out of the Chi Com playbook. Of course, there was already dirty Mafiya money in the mix. This would just make the problem worse.
