When the USSR existed, western leftists complained that their stances on long hair, rock music, etc was evidence of their totailtarian, authoritarian nature, now that China has loosened up those restrictions and allowed for more individual expression, western leftists are calling China “state capitalism” What gives?

    God that document always blows my mind even now. The fact that even the CIA figured out that for the most part the Soviet people were united against the common threat is INSANE.

      I don’t think it’s insane.

      An intelligence agency has to know the truth in order to successfully carry out its propaganda missions.

      If you think that’s insane you should watch this video. The entire Hollywood film history of the United States is all propoganda. The CIA has its hand in all media past and present. Books, film, print, TV news, journalism.
