    THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION (1945-2001) Volume 8 of “AN ESSAY IN UNIVERSAL HISTORY” From an Orthodox Christian Point of View Vladimir Moss © Copyright Vladimir Moss, 2018: All Rights Reserved 1 The communists have been hurled at the Church like a crazy dog. Their Soviet emblem - the hammer and sickle - corresponds to their mission. With the hammer they beat people over the head, and with the sickle they mow down the churches. But then the Masons will remove the communists and take control of Russia… St. Theodore (Rafanovsky) of Belorussia (+1975). Capitalism has lifted the poor out of poverty. In 1918, 1.9 billion people lived in extreme poverty according to the World Bank’s statistics, or 52 per cent of the world’s population. This has fallen to 767 million people, or 10.7 per cent of the population in 2013. This dramatic improvement coincides with China and India moving to market economies. Hence it is the capitalists who love the poor, not the socialists who condemn them to poverty. Jacob Rees-Mogg, M.P. In order to have a democracy in society there must be a dictatorship in power. Anatoly Chubais. The best way to shake people out of their inertia is to put them in debt. Then you give them the power to realize their dreams overnight, while ensuring that they’ll spend years paying for their dreams. This is the principle upon which the stability of the Western world rests. A Serb. Twenty years ago, we said farewell to the Red Empire with damnations and tears.

  • I. F. Stone Encounters with Soviet Intelligence
    HoI. F.ll Stone:and Encounters with Soviet Intelligence I. F.Stone Encounters with Soviet Intelligence ✣ Max Holland Of all the disclosures contained in the notebooks of Alexander Vassiliev, few are likely to be more contentious than those involving the jour- nalist I. F. Stone. From April 1936 until at least the fall of 1938, according to the note- books, Stone acted as a “talent spotter,” helping to identify or recruit other Americans who might be receptive to assisting Soviet intelligence.1 Under the assigned codename of “Blin,” Stone also acted as a courier, conveying mes- sages between a Soviet intelligence ofªcer and his American agent. These were intelligence functions, having nothing to do with being an editorial writer for the New York Post, Stone’s main occupation at the time. Vassiliev’s notes also reveal that Stone passed along privileged information that might be deemed useful for intelligence purposes. Altogether, these activities either contravene or, as this essay will argue, greatly complicate widely held views about Stone and his status as an icon of journalism. When Stone died in June 1989 at the age of 81, all three major television networks announced his death on their news shows as if he were a household name rather than a print journalist whose work had appeared primarily in elite publications normally associated with the country’s intelligentsia. Stone was hailed as the living embodiment of the ªrst amendment, a ªercely inde- pendent journalist opposed to the “Washington Insiderism” that often blights reporting from the nation’s capital.2 Both The Washington Post, Stone’s local paper, and The New York Times ran full obituaries, editorials of praise, and ap- preciations in several op-ed pieces.

  • How Did You Get the Idea, What Were Your Aim Or Aims in Beginning The
    AS-Historical MARCIA: How did you get the idea, what were your aim or aims in beginning the column? AL: In 1967, there was a strike in New York City dealing with economic issues which lasted 13 school days. Then, in 1968, there were three strikes which went from the first day of school in September to November 19th with two returns to work. Until this pertod of time when we had the four strikes in a little over a year, my view as a leader of the union was a fairly traditional view, I guess, and that is that I was elected by the teachers, the members of the union, and my responsibility was to keep them happy, and it did not make any difference if the " newspapers l~ked me or parents liked me or if the public liked me or agreed with me or.. disagreed with me; that I represented one particular group and that's where my responsibilities were. During these st,rikes, I was presented for the most part very, very negatively in the press. There was universal opposition. Of course, strikes were illegal so there was the whole question of legality. And , there was just opposition to the strikes by the press in general, even though there was, in most editorials, some acknowledgment that we had some points or some justice or some merit on our side. But it wasn't just the stories or the editorials; it was even photographs. I remember a photograph that appeared on the front page of the "Week in Review" section of the Sunday New York Times, and I guess it was a picture of me, and I must have been standing on top of a van and making a speech to a large rally.

  • Russian Intelligence and State Security Services
    Russian Intelligence and State Security Services From Wikipedia related-articles and www.tridentmilitary.com GRU GRU Generalnovo Shtaba Glavnoje Razvedyvatel'noje Upravlenije Главное Разведывательное Управление From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia GRU or Glavnoje Razvedyvatel'noje Upravlenije is the acronym for the foreign military intelligence directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, (formerly the Red Army General Staff of the Soviet Union). GRU is the English transliteration of the Russian acronym ГРУ , which stands for "Главное Разведывательное Управление", meaning Main Intelligence Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces General Staff. The full name is GRU GSh (GRU Generalnovo Shtaba (or "GenShtaba"), i.e. "GRU of the General Staff"). The GRU is Russia's largest intelligence agency. It deploys six times as many agents in foreign countries as the SVR which is the KGB intelligence successor. It also commanded 25,000 spetsnaz troops in 1997. [1] The current GRU Director is General of the Army Valentin Vladimirovich Korabelnikov. History The GRU was created in 1918 by the Bolshevik Communist Party under Lenin, and given the task of handling all military intelligence, particularly the collection of intelligence of military or political significance from sources outside the Soviet Union. The GRU operated residencies all over the world, along with the SIGINT (signals intelligence) station in Lourdes, Cuba, and throughout the former Soviet bloc countries, especially in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The first head of the GRU was Janis Karlovich Berzin, a Latvian Communist and former member of the Cheka, who remained in the post until 28 November 1937, when he was arrested and subsequently liquidated during Stalin's purges.
