Thanks for posting this. During that time I don't recall any reporting about the CIA role in Solidarity or its color revolution.

It makes me wonder about today: are there any influencers in America who are not doing the CIA's work?

"Trotskyites have a long history of allying with imperialism and Western capitalist governments against actually existing socialist governments in the Eastern Hemisphere and Global South, which they invariably demonize as “Stalinist” and not truly socialist, because their academic theoretical purity always trumps material reality, and because Marxism for them is a perpetual game of No True Scotsman."

Some examples please of the socialist governments in the Eastern Hemisphere and Global South that Trotskyites helped Western capitalist to undermine.

We live in an era characterized by a kind of madness. We are subjected to grand visions no one wants. It is a time of hypersensitivity, where even mild discomfort triggers inappropriate levels of anger from entire sections of society.

Complementing this anger is a manufactured outrage about distant issues that do not affect us, including events from the past no one can change.

Modern life increasingly makes no sense to ordinary people.

Driving this are out-of-touch leaders who care little about the real problems that affect us. In every major area of society from politics and media to the corporate world and the great institutions we witness a parade of clowns marching in unison, a constellation of broken people presiding over declining fiefdoms.

Most seem indifferent to normal life and pontificate over the same array of bizarre talking points, often making identical announcements on everything from climate to gay rights even when these topics lie far outside their remit.

The organizations they control are often dysfunctional, unable to perform their duties well and visibly failing.

There is much talk of conspiracies. The leaders are handpicked minions of some distant elite, there to further the ambitions of the powerful. A grand conspiracy to enslave us all. Global organizations like the World Economic Forum or the United Nations have nefarious plans and use our own country’s institutions to enact them.

However true this may be there is another observation we can make. The individuals often chosen are of a type, one that naturally creates strife and confusion.

There is a certain sort of character who revels in incompetence and manages to not only survive but also appears calm, confident and even impressive despite their inability to get things done.

That type of person is a narcissist.

Thanks for reporting this. I still wonder why anyone praises that trash the Reagans. Filthy nutters. Sorry not sorry-religion is the worst superstition ever created. Instead of helping humanity it oppresses controls and kills.

They de-industrialized the country... Several millions of Poles were forced out of the country and thousands committed suicides...

A hero that puts to shame the psychotic whites in U$A, Klanada, InBred UnUnited Queen-Torah-Dumb, EuroTrashLandia, NZ and AU.

Alessandra Korap Munduruku, 38, is a member of the Munduruku Indigenous group of Sawré Muybu. She is the president of the Pariri Indigenous Association, which supports communities in the Tapajós River region. Alessandra previously worked as a teacher and, over the past decade, became involved in the fight against deforestation, hydroelectric development, and contamination of the Tapajós River. Initially, she encountered stiff resistance to a woman becoming involved in the movement to protect the territory, but she persisted and, gradually, changed the paradigm; she eventually became the first woman coordinator of the Pariri Indigenous Association. In 2018, Alessandra decided to study law to better represent and protect Munduruku communities and the Amazon rainforest from further illegal extraction by mining, logging, and drilling interests, and other threats to their territories.
