Is Russia blackmailing the West ? by John Laughland The Russian debt is a deliberate strategy to obtain both subsidies from, and a political leverage over, Western Europe. <URL: http://www.diploweb.com/english/russia/laughland1.htm >
From our Chris Brooke's website, Voice of the Turtle, On John Laughland's The Tainted Source: A Review and a Polemic' An article for The Voice of the Turtle by , August 1998. <URL: http://www.voiceoftheturtle.org/show_article.php?aid=134 > As loyal Turtle readers are well aware, there is something peculiarly satisfying about exposing the extent to which a political opponent's ideas have been foreshadowed in Nazi theory and practice. To tar another with the stain of fascism is both a low political tactic and also wide open to considerable abuse; yet it is also a temptation that can be quite hard to resist. A few years ago, maverick historian Anna Bramwell showed in a pair of books how strong the continuities were between the German Green Party and the policies of Nazi Minister of Agriculture Walther Darré. Now John Laughland has used the same strategy with respect to the contemporary debate on European union, as he simultaneously anatomises and anathematises the ideological pedigree of the EU's plans for the political and economic unification of the entire continent. <SNIP>
