Brainchild of the KGB
As Ion Mihai Pacepa, onetime director of the Romanian espionage service (DIE), later explained, the PLO was conceived at a time when the KGB was creating “liberation front” organizations throughout the Third world. Others included the National Liberation Army of Bolivia, created in 1964 with help from Ernesto “Che” Guevara, and the National Liberation Army of Colombia, created in 1965 with help from Fidel Castro. But the PLO was the KGB’s most enduring achievement.
In 1964, the first PLO Council, consisting of 422 Palestinian representatives handpicked by the KGB, approved the Soviet blueprint for a Palestinian National Charter—a document drafted in Moscow—and made Ahmad Shukairy, the KGB’s agent of influence, the first PLO chairman. The Romanian intelligence service was given responsibility for providing the PLO with logistical support. Except for the arms, which were supplied by the KGB and the East German Stasi, everything, according to Ion Pacepa, “came from Bucharest. Even the PLO uniforms and the PLO stationery were manufactured in Romania free of charge, as a ‘comradely help.’ During those years, two Romanian cargo planes filled with goodies for the PLO landed in Beirut every week.”
The PLO came on the scene at a critical moment in Middle East history. At the Khartoum conference held shortly after the Six-Day war, the defeated and humiliated Arab states confronted the “new reality” of an Israel that seemed unbeatable in conventional warfare. The participants of the conference decided, among other things, to continue the war against Israel as what today would be called a “low intensity conflict.” The PLO’s Fatah forces were perfect to carry out this mission.

So! Any that think since the early part of the 20th century that liberal/communist influence was not thee objective for America by the elites are in lullaland. This is what the Bushes & Klintoons puppetiers are after. Whoever becomes the president next yr is a total sellout to us. The elections are rigged before the votes just as juries are before a trial. The sheeple have more investment in their six-pack after work than their future or their childrens future. Judgement day is coming to a threatre near you.
Any wonder the “Progressives” always side with the Palestinians?
Any wonder the “Progressives” always side with the Palestinians?If the US started supporting the Palis against Israel tomorrow, leftists would start supporting Israel. Leftist opposition is reflexive.
I have observed that the left instinctively sides with evil. You could be right, but my guess is that if the US right-wing started supporting the Pali’s, the left would just say we were not doing enough.
I like your terminology, because it's so "fitting."
Ping!
