International Terrorism: The Communist Connection Revisited

The Institute of World Politics ^ | 6/1/'02 | J. Michael Waller

Twenty-five years ago, Stefan Possony posited the then-radical thesis that the Soviet Union was behind much of the world’s growing terrorist problem, and that otherwise independent terrorist organizations operated in international networks. Possony’s book, International Terrorism: The Communist Connection, published in 1978,[1] blazed a trail that other scholars, journalists, investigators, and intelligence officers would follow.

Polite company would seldom entertain such an idea of global, Soviet-sponsored terrorist networks, at least in the days of détente and Jimmy Carter and America’s post-Vietnam malaise. The CIA called Possony’s notion nonsense. Nobody in the prestige press of foreign policy establishment, it seemed, was willing or able to take the idea seriously.

Okay, it's almost five years old, but I just ran into this very long and interesting document on the radical moslem/Communist connection a little earlier. It may be a little naive in places (saying that Khomeini was personally anti-Soviet when the entire Iranian Revolution was backed by Moscow and the entire World Left), but at least it does discuss these often-forgotten connections.

The communist connection has been clearly documented in many places, but most Americans don't realize that. We're too PC.

It was pretty clever of them to both fight against bin Laden in Afghanistan, and support him, too.

Is that the jist?

That must be how they fool us.
