Far right loony tunes.
Michael Pugliese (who Doug worries about since he surfs the right wing sites, hell I'll ask this "Michael Pugliese" if he worries about Michael Pugliese's "psychotic" break with consensus "reality"). Oh, and is this Nyquist alluding to Kondatrieff waves? And where is my Moscow Gold? ...........................................................................

> In Sept. 1967, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union
sent one of its top strategists, Konstantin Katushev, to Prague. His mission
was to provide an oral briefing to Czech
Communist Party bosses on Moscow's long-term strategy. Besides organizing
for the fake collapse of the Warsaw Pact to weaken NATO, Moscow's plan
called for exploiting a future economic depression in the United States.
>
> Soviet economists have long held to a theory of economic cycles that
predicts a depression every fifty to sixty years. According to Marxist
theory, an economic depression in the capitalist countries signifies an
opportunity for revolutionary action.
>
> "Soviet and other communist economists keep a careful watch on the
American economic
situation," wrote KGB defector Anatoliy
Golitsyn in 1984. "The communist bloc will
not repeat its error in failing to exploit a slump
as it did in 1929-32."
>
> A severe economic depression, in Marxist
> terms, would bring about a "pre-revolutionary" situation in many
capitalist countries. Given our current social problems, an economic
depression in America might lead to a social explosion. The U.S.
Constitution could then be overthrown by Moscow's clandestine network,
provided Russia's agents are properly positioned. But what if a social
explosion in this country resulted in a patriotic revival? -- a shift to the
right rather than to the left?
> According to defector Jan Sejna, who was
> present during Katushev's 1967 visit to Prague, Katushev noted that
America could "move to either extreme." But Katushev noted that if the
American economy were seriously

> will turn on the society that has failed them.
> They will be ready for revolution."

> There are two faint but discernible revolutionary impulses in
present-day America. One impulse is from the Marxist
left, which has been mistakenly presumed
dead, and the other is from the populist right.
Both of these revolutionary impulses hate the
present U.S. establishment, which is regarded
as illegitimate and tyrannical.

the anti-war movement in the 1960s -- is a history that involves massive
infusions of cash from foreign communist sources. It is well known, for
example, that the Communist
Party USA received millions of dollars directly
from Moscow. Many leaders of the communist
movement in America also received
specialized training in Russia. More recently,
the Revolutionary Communist Party, whose
spokesmen openly boast of their role in the

communists. The Czechs thought America was a country with strong powers of
resistance. If America
suffered a social explosion, they cautioned,

The psychological point here should not be
missed. Whenever a capitalist economy suffers

freedom -- and the end
of American prosperity. Once you put an end
to economic freedom you destroy the
economy's recuperative power. Once you
destroy the economy's ability to recover, your
dictatorship must institute more and more
crushing controls.
> An interesting tidbit related to this has emerged from the strategic
writings of two
colonels of the Chinese People's Liberation
Army. In a book entitled "Unrestricted
Warfare," published in 1999 by Col. Qiao
Liang and Col. Wang Xiangsui, it says: "If the attacking side (i.e., China)
secretly musters
> large amounts of capital without the enemy
> nation being aware of this ... and launches a
> sneak attack against its financial markets,
> then after causing a financial crisis, buries a
> computer virus and hacker detachment in the opponent's computer system
in advance, while at the same time carrying out a network
attack against the enemy ... financial-transaction network,
telephone-communications network and mass-media network ... this will cause
the enemy nation to fall into social panic, street riots and a political
crisis."
> From defector sources we know that Russian
> strategists have also developed contingencies for economic sabotage
against the West.
> According to Joseph D. Douglass Jr., author of "Red Cocaine," Moscow's
strategy against America includes the penetration of U.S. banks through
illegal money-laundering
> operations. Such infiltration might lead to the
> creation of a powerful economic time bomb
> within the U.S.
>
> At present there is an emerging financial crisis in America. The dollar
has been weakening. If it gives way, the stock market might fall. Perhaps
adding a little push of its own, Russia has been withholding precious metals
from the world market, driving the prices of platinum, palladium and rhodium
skyward. Some auto manufacturers are said to be panicking because of the
metals shortages. The Defense Logistics Agency, which loaned the U.S. Mint
200,000 ounces of platinum in 1997, wants its metal returned because the
agency cannot otherwise meet its commitments for fiscal 2000. Even more
curious, there is talk that the Clinton administration has misused the
Exchange Stabilization Fund to artificially
depress the price of gold.
> Whatever the future holds, recent events point in a sinister direction.
The Russians, Chinese and North Koreans have been mobilizing their military
forces in recent months. Russian economic measures suggest that Moscow is
anticipating some kind of military crisis. A few days ago, President Putin
of Russia called up an additional 20,000 reservists, even though the war in
Chechnya is winding down. Many Russian pre-war indicators remain high, and
U.S. defense computers have continued to suffer mysterious lapses. On Jan.
24 a significant part of the U.S. intelligence
computer network -- at the NSA -- blinked
off for three days. This was the third major
failure of U.S. intelligence computers in four
weeks.

> Do the strategists in Moscow and Beijing
expect a severe economic crisis in the near
future? Or have they given us a little push, on
purpose, hoping to exploit an impending social
explosion in America?
> It is hard to know what is going to happen.
America is a volatile society and this is a
presidential election year. Come to think of it,
of all the candidates now running, there is only
one who might profit by a severe economic
downturn. He is a candidate that otherwise
would not stand a chance. Don't miss this
column on Thursday when I discuss the
unusual ideas of presidential candidate Patrick
Buchanan.
