Lots of experimentation and practice, for sure. I have no doubt they thought it would work. But, it looks like an Icarus situation to me... ran a little to close to the sun. <BR/><BR/>The China part may be doing as planned, but I don't think Russia intended itself to become a rusty economic and demographic disaster. <BR/><BR/>You can see elements of Anatoly Golitsyn predictions in Putin, as you'd expect from his background, but it seems more like trying to use some of the better ideas to salvage something from the screw up. <BR/><BR/>The plan clearly never would've had a Boris Yeltsin, or a re-restricting Putin. It should've had a smoothly "liberalizing" Gorby just as China has been doing. <BR/><BR/>Just because he was correct about many things (e.g. the wall coming down) doesn't mean they happened exactly how or why he said and the Soviets probably planned.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606686198036798108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-69199105344109761782007-07-20T09:56:00.000+12:002007-07-20T09:56:00.000+12:00That's my point ReidGolitsyn predicted all of thos...That's my point Reid<BR/><BR/>Golitsyn predicted all of those events in his 1984 book " New lies for Old"<BR/><BR/>As a former KGB insider himself, Golitsyn claimed to be privy to long range planningthat took place between 1958 and '61 under then KGB chief Shelepin.<BR/><BR/>CIA counter intelligence chief James Angleton championed Golitsyn's views, until he was sacked by Nixon.<BR/><BR/>Far from winning the "cold war" Reid, the West was sucked in -big time.<BR/><BR/>Russia and China are now allies-just as Golitsyn predicted, most of Latin America is red, South Africa and most of the continent are under Socialist or Muslim rule. India is aligning with Russia and China. Pakistan is in grave trouble. Most of Europe is pink or neutral, the communists are supporting the Muslims and Iran.<BR/><BR/>The US is on the verge of "conquest" by a socialist and CPUSA infiltrated Democratic Party.<BR/><BR/>That is the harsh reality of the world today Reid.<BR/><BR/>It ain't that pretty, unfortunately.<BR/><BR/>Thank God, I'm an optimist.Trevor Loudonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040453691836232676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-2149909573285766432007-07-20T06:07:00.000+12:002007-07-20T06:07:00.000+12:00If someone said at the start of 1989 that communis...If someone said at the start of 1989 that communism would collapse that year in the Warsaw Pact nations they would have been laughed at. If someone said at the start of 1991 that the Soviet Union would collapse that year they would also have been laughed at. When unpopular totalitarian regimes fall it is often on very short notice.<BR/><BR/>We can never really know how strong a totalitarian regimes grip on power is since objective journalism is outlawed. <BR/>I view the Chinese Communist regime as a giant contradiction. It is only communist in it's rhetoric. Some of the wealthiest capitalists in China are communist party members. Chinese communism is about power, control and wealth. It is not about the proleteriat of the masses. The Chinese are smart enough to know the communist rhetoric is a farce.<BR/><BR/>Some financial analysts have stated that anywhere from 30 to 50 percent of China's indigenous loans are non-performing. Has there ever been an industrial boom that wasn't followed by a bad loan bust? No there hasn't. The mother of all banking crisis is soon to hit China. It will make the Japanese crisis of the 90's look small in comparison. And 1 trillion in foreign currency reserves will be way too small to bail out the banking system. Stay tuned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-10825590715449351332007-07-19T18:55:00.000+12:002007-07-19T18:55:00.000+12:00I don't share your optimism Reid.The CPC is well e...I don't share your optimism Reid.<BR/><BR/>The CPC is well entrenched and can survive any major recession.<BR/><BR/>Elites may be overthrown in "democracies", but police states like China are another matter.<BR/><BR/>The main point though is that I follow the theories of KGB defector Anatoly Golitsyn.<BR/><BR/>The Chinese experiment is simply one phase of a broad programme to swing the balance of power towards Russia and China.<BR/><BR/>Right now, the East is winning.Trevor Loudonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040453691836232676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-12629817219529213282007-07-19T07:33:00.000+12:002007-07-19T07:33:00.000+12:00The Communist Dynasty will not last much longer. ...The Communist Dynasty will not last much longer. Political pluralism is an unstoppable force that will overwhelm the communists. Either the communists will end their political monopoly voluntarily or it will be taken by force from them.<BR/><BR/>The Chinese communists have a capitalist tiger by the tail. As long as the economy booms it appears the communists are firmly in charge. But when the deflationary economic bust hits the communists won't survive. The upper echelon of communists and their families are getting wealthy and the people know it.<BR/><BR/>Change will be swift.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
