Did Communism Fake Its Own Death in 1991?
American Thinker ^ | January 16, 2010 | Jason McNew
In a [] 1984 book [New Lies for Old], ex-KGB Major Anatoliy Golitsyn predicted the liberalization of the Soviet Bloc and claimed that it would be a strategic deception. ..."
"Golitsyn's argument was that beginning in about 1960, the Soviet Union embarked on a strategy of massive long-range strategic deception which would span several decades and result in the destruction of Western capitalism and the erection of a communist world government."
"Golitsyn published his second book, The Perestroika Deception, after the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991. This book contained further analysis of the liberalization, in addition to previously classified memoranda submitted by Golitsyn to the CIA. The two books must be read together to get a complete picture of Golitsyn's thesis."

This is the man who was at the heart of the battle. Trying to act on his information led to the Angleton meltdown and the intelligence breakdown in the CIA. Golitsyn's (and Angleton's) enemies won.
The "History Channel" is always pushing these bullshiite specials on Nostradamus' predictions. Well folks, here are 99% accurate predictions written in plain enough English. Wonder why we never see them on TV?
