There had to be as many or more killed in the sweeps of military forces organized specifically to slaughter entire communities of Cathars, Waldensians, and Muslims. And Templar and Hospitalier knights gained much of their land through local Christian feudal lords giving them free rein to slaughter non-Christian populations and sharing with them the spoils. † Burman, Inquisition, pp. 95-99. Some scholars have concluded that the Templars evolved into the Masonic lodge when they went underground (John J. Robinson, Born in Blood [New York: M. Evans & Company, 1989]). *Besides those with ethnic ties to the West who betrayed their new country by joining forces with the Nazi invaders (such as Vlasov's army and Byelorussian, Ukrainian, and Polish volunteers for the mobile death squads [Einsatzgruppen], twenty thousand were volunteers; the rest were conscripts who were granted amnesty], many of those executed had been contacted by trained saboteurs who were parachuted into the Eastern European countries (or infiltrated across the border) all the way to Byelorussia (Prados, The Presidents' Secret Wars, chapters 2-3; Loftus, Belarus Secret, chapters 1-3, pp. 51-53, 49, 102-03, especially p. 43; Ranelagh, The Agency, p. 156). In comparison, the French Revolution gained quasi-political freedom for the French for only ten years and was far bloodier than the Russian Revolution. But due to the First and Second Estates-both internally and externally-being determined to regain control, there was no real political freedom. As members of the First and Second Estates were the only ones with education or wealth, internal intrigues in cooperation with external powers gave the new government no peace (Petr Kropotkin's The Great French Revolution (New York: Black Rose Books, trans. 1989). In contrast, the American Revolution was only a few skirmishes. The largest battle involved only about 7,500 American soldiers and-because the balance of power between France, Spain, and England did not permit either internal or external subversion-America's political freedom was real. With this obvious break to freedom, there was still a large population loyal to Britain; 100,000 fled or were killed and some of those who remained were dispossessed of their property. The Soviets faced far more serious problems of internal disloyalty and external subversion than did America.
† In 1990, on, we watched a Soviet defector say, with a straight face, that estimates vary between thirty million and seventy million killed. Many such people were spirited over here by the CIA, given financial support by them, assigned a writer, coached on what to write, and then paraded around the country to lecture. As of the 1975-76 Church Committee hearings which exposed it, over nine hundred such fraudulent books (many in foreign languages) had been published, and today there must be over twelve hundred; that is twenty-five to thirty such books printed per year (Stockwell, Praetorian, pp. 34, 101; Peter Coleman, Liberal Conspiracy [London: Collier Macmillan, 1989], especially Appendix D, lists almost two hundred of these books). The CIA secretly owned its own wire service and, among others around the world, financed the largest news conglomerate in Germany. Canned editorials were also prepared and sent to newspapers all over the world. They were available for any editor to use as his or her own and virtually tens of thousands of CIA articles based on, and which in turn supported, these fraudulent books were planted in the media around the world. These gross fabrications and crafted propaganda are now a part of Western literature and history and provide a firm foundation of its enemy belief system. This, and much more, is the creation of enemies/social control paradigm in action. It is to the credit of academics that they tried to stand up and tell the American people the truth, but they were quickly silenced by McCarthyism and the House Un-American Activities Committee. British MI6 was teaching the forerunner of the CIA (OSS) how to direct the writing and publication of those fraudulent books as early as 1946 (Blum, CIA, pp. 127-28, 131, 185; Victor Marchetti and John D. Marks, The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence [New York: Dell Publishing Co., 1980], chapter 6, especially pp. 152-56; Philip Agee, Inside the Company [New York: Bantam Books, 1975], especially pp. 53-54, 62-63, 541-42; Stockwell, Praetorian, pp. 100-01; Ralph W. McGehee, Deadly Deceits [New York: Sheridan Square Press, 1983], especially pp. 30, 58, 62, 189; Philip Agee and Louis Wolf, Dirty Work [London: Zed Press, 1978], especially p. 262; David Wise and Thomas B. Ross, The Espionage Establishment [New York: Bantam Books, 1978], pp. 256, 257; Ellen Schrecker, No Ivory Tower; and especially Frank J. Donner, The Age of Surveillance: The Aims and Methods of America's Political Intelligence System [New York: Random House, 1981]). When it was learned that the CIA had supported the printing of these thousands of book, sincere academics sued for the titles to be revealed. But the Supreme Court ruled that this would expose CIA methods and endanger the national security. A few such books that have become known are The Penkovsky Papers, The Dynamics of Soviet Society by Walt Rostow; The New Class by Milovan Djilas; Concise History of the Communist Party by Robert A. Burton, The Foreign Aid Programs of the Soviet Bloc and Communist China by Kurt Muller; In Pursuit of World Order by Richard N. Gardner; Peking and the People's Wars by Major General Sam Griffith; a parody of the quotations of Mao, entitled Quotations from Chairman Liu, The Politics of Struggle: The Communist Front and Political Warfare by James D. Atkinson; From Colonialism to Communism by Hoang Van Chi; Why Vietnam by Frank Trager, Terror in Vietnam by Jay Mallin; and Indonesia-1965: The Coup that Backfired (Peter Coleman, Liberal Conspiracy [London: Collier Macmillan, 1989], especially Appendix D, lists almost 200 more).
* Don't count on this becoming well known in the West, and be prepared for further misinformation. A successful social control paradigm protecting a power structure requires the writing of history. Expect books and studies that will totally destroy the reputations of the primary intellectuals and leaders of the defeated ideology To leave the reputation of these foundation philosophers and leaders intact is to leave their work open for inspection and acceptance by future philosophers. But with a destroyed reputation, their concepts will seldom be looked at and the few who do study them with an open mind will find no followers. Destroying a reputation is not hard to do. Like the twenty five to thirty fraudulent books written, published and distributed per year during the Cold War, it is only necessary to put a little money behind already ideologically committed historians, pick and choose statements among millions of files, and if necessary place a few counterfeits among those files. Such control of history is absolutely crucial to creating social control paradigms so corrupt power structures can maintain their power. slonet.org The Rise and Fall of Economic Liberalism, Frederic Clairmont, 1996 |
