Has someone ever compiled a comprehensive, complete and compressed list of the predictions - e.g. something that would be amendable to loading into a spreadsheet format? If so, where can I find it, or, as an alternative, could someone please post the list to this thread. Thanks!
Update, I found a partial list, with 130 items. But it needs work to be something I'd post here. In a few days, I'll do so.
I'll thank you for another flag when you do, GOP_1900AD.
Regards.
No problem, will do!
How the heck are these old threads showing up in Front Page News? Interesting, at least.
Thanks for all this information. I’m sure that the Communists have all sorts of plans out there for their eventual control of the world - in the same way that the U.S. military has plans for invasion of every country of the world, including allies, and the CIA publishes a factbook so that we can target leaders, media, and politicians in other countries when we need to.
The problem that the Communists have always had is the problem of unintended consequences. When your decision-making is top-down, it’s easy to miss the small things that become important things. I would doubt that the Communists in the early 1960s would have imagined that they’d be facing anti-communist Reagan twenty years later as president. Stalin’s answer to the Catholics about the number of divisions that the Pope has was answered well in Poland. The Communists, like the Islamofascists and the National Socialists, believe in their ideology so strongly that they have the arrogance to posit world-shaping strategies, but none of the humility to deal effectively with sudden change.
So the Communists have a longterm goal of world domination. Interestingly, as a teacher, I have a longterm goal of introducing Communism to my students as a depraved political system which has killed millions and destroyed cultures and countries. We’ll see whose students grow up to be more effective adults.
Errors of Russia ping.
This should have been evident during the Korean War, and in retrospect, when (iirc) soviet pilots were 'advising' in MIG alley, and Chinese troops were massing across the Yalu.
It should have been evident again in Vietnam, where soviet shipping unloaded in Haiphong Harbor, yet rumor abounded of Chinese infantry officers encountered in the field.
Yet, anyone who broaches the subject of the Soviets' playing 'possum will be branded a nutter or tinfoil hat type unless surrounded by other 'cold warriors'. I have even heard that song and dance from a US Senator (D, of course).
Which leads me to the next question. How many of 'our' people in government have been (knowingly) compromised, how many of our MSM, and how many in the higher levels of banking and finance?
After all, McCarthy was right.
For later.
