Will do, Little Hawk. Saw your posting after I entered the above. A bit tired now, but yeah, this really is fascinating stuff.

Basically though I think "communism" is a misnomer. A misdirective term. We're inundated with terms that change their meanings or mean the opposite of what they claim, and communism has a screwy history. You would think it's meant to mean collectivism, and I guess it does to a lot of people, but by communism I mean totalitarianism. Which both Lenin and Trotsky subscribed to. They just bickered about who should be in charge. Lenin won in the short term, but Trotskyism is insidious, like rising damp, and it has the brighter future of the two because the Bush neo-cons are practicing Trotskyites. Bush's neo-con advisors studied under America's leading Trotskyite professor and then set out to take over one of America's leading political parties. They now control the Republican White House.

Hold on...tired...let me look back. Yes, America backed the anti-Russians in Afghanistan to damage Russia... man I'm tired. Going to miss something, but yes, America has been and will ALWAYS be at war with Russia, until one or the other triumphs.

But the communism thing...the Bush neo-cons are supporters of Israel. Zionists. And some people call Trotskyites "Jewish communists." They were badly treated in Leninist Russia, so now it's time for payback. Use Bush and the American military to thump Russia. That's the simplest view. Occam's Razor.

But nothing's that simple. Neither country would survive the clash, so who wins ultimately? Who would benefit from the clash of the U.S. and Russia? Brings me back to David Rockefeller beginning the transfer of American wealth to China in 1973. Today America has been stripped of it's industrial production and is cleared to be used as a battlefield. All valuable industry has been moved overseas, mostly to China, thanks to Rockefeller and his friends.

This isn't addressing any of your questions. I'll have another go tomorrow. I guess you've heard though that communism was the creation of the monarchies. When the rising middle class began to expand, the royalty got worried that the power of money would threaten their positions. So they looked around for a financial steam valve and hit on Karl Marx' writings. They saw communism as the perfect "foe" of capitalism/mercantilism and initiated a period of "anarchy" and "communist agitation" to capture headlines and draw people to the communist cause. Then when the Czar of Russia wouldn't do business with the powerful banking families of Europe (his own COUSINS fer chrissake), they killed him and installed Lenin as the leading proponent of Marxism. And the deal clencher was the "gold train" that took the Czar's palace guard an estimated 100 million dollars in gold, as a bribe. Carried to Moscow on a Red Cross train. The Red Cross was a new "charitable" organization formed by the Rockefellers, and one of their first official acts was to act as a money conduit during a revolution. That's a whole other interesting history...the Red Cross with their predilection for blood. Vampire symbolism, bloody crosses...creepy. Not at all what they seem to be.

Anyway, let me know if I came anywhere near answering a question. Doubt if I did. Be glad to try again.
