“Russia expert John Schindler explains that while the Soviet Union backed communist-leaning parties to influence politics, Russia is now financing far-right parties in an attempt to steer European politics.”
The embedded link in this sentence takes you to a Business Insider column by Mr. Schindler, who says he's with the “XX Committee.” When you go to that site (http://20committee.com/), you arrive at the home page for the XX Committee, which actually reads like an “About Us” page. Do you see anything questionable about this:
“On My Politics
Some readers have noticed my recent criticism of Democrats and President Barack Obama, particularly relating to national security matters. Some seem quite upset by this, hurling invectives...”
He IS the committee! He is the one quoted as the Russian expert who knows about this secret funding of the UKIP and other small-government, anti-illegal immigration, pro-lower energy price, parties. You are posting unsubstantiated tripe about political parties that our own local liberals say about Tea Party supporters.
People like you are easily misled, it appears. You didn't even read through my original post properly, and I only had two sentences. You missed this, by the way:
“It's obvious that only sane persons believe in unlimited illegal immigration, higher energy prices, and unsustainable government spending.”
Are you missing that now, a second time?

John R. Schindler is professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College, where he’s been since 2005, and where he teaches courses on security, strategy, intelligence, terrorism, and occasionally military history. Before joining the NWC faculty, he spent nearly a decade with the National Security Agency as an intelligence analyst and counterintelligence officer. There’s not much he can say about that, except that he worked problems in Eastern Europe and the Middle East with a counterespionage flavor, and he collaborated closely with other government agencies who would probably prefer he didn’t mention them. He’s also served as an officer specializing in cryptology (now called information warfare for no particular reason) in the U.S. Navy Reserve.
