Oddly similar to today...

[Nightshade]

It's a bit scary that an old docudrama 'Countdown to Looking Glass' is very similar to the situation the world is in today.




Watch it and then compare it to the headlines you've seen recently.

In 1984, Golitsyn published the book New Lies For Old,[13] wherein he predicted the collapse of the communist bloc orchestrated from above. He warned about a long-term deception strategy designed to lull the West into a false sense of security, and finally economically cripple and diplomatically isolate the United States. Among other things, Golitsyn stated:
"The 'liberalization' [in the Soviet Union] would be spectacular and impressive. Formal pronouncements might be made about a reduction in the communist party's role; its monopoly would be apparently curtailed."
"If [liberalization] should be extended to East Germany, demolition of the Berlin Wall might even be contemplated."
"The European Parliament might become an all-European socialist parliament with representation from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. 'Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals' would turn out to be a neutral, socialist Europe."

The Berlin Wall fell in 1989.
The Soviet Union 'collapsed' in 1991
The European Union was invented in 1993
Nafta was enacted in 1994.

We are at present economically crippled and diplomatically isolated. God Bless Golitsyn!
