Proposing self for a leader of the Slavs based on the following consideration : anybody can do it, who has the right knowledge and is possessed of some more or less average intelligence.

The contents of this page are negative (on the order of cleaning up a mess somewhere). It being called 'counterattack', I am not proposing anything like revenge, 'guilt', or misplaced blame — but I am proposing de-bugging (so to say) the historic records.

Attacked should be any false statements, whether bunk science (e.g. Marx), cobweb 'philosophy' (e.g. Lenin), or, deliberate disinformation.

The last item is of course the worst, but it is usually connected with the preceding ones. This was the modus operandi of the 'world revolution' —: by men who would tear down the edifice without the slightest idea of how to erect another in its place — such one as would not keep collapsing.

The marxism-leninism had in the meanwhile become a sort of false religion, with its prophets assumed (without questioning) to have been "right" ; else, the marxist dignitary here or there has no reason for being, the crackpot fanatic has no mythical "cause", and the hidden "third party" (worst of them all) has no means to stir more trouble.

One is mainly up against collosal amounts of human error — which is still being nowadays perpetuated by some microscopic-size groups, who might be able to influence the all-too-often complacent public with any kind of concoction, usually to some puny gain (in relative terms).

This "Brezhnevian irresponsibility" sort of phenomena has been very aptly called so by an American author (Douglass, The Red Cocaine, which see). The problem has not yet altogether disappeared, and, I am afraid, we are very far from some conclusive solution as of this writing.

This might come very quickly ; so long as no interested person (and this can mean anyone who would prefer to live and not to die of some other people's wrongdoing) be distraught with issues of secondary or tertiary importance.

Comment   Text by two Russian soldiers. The Great Patriotic War was patriotic during the siege of Stalingrad, and there is hardly anything to question in such a notion. For example, Elizabeth Bentley in the USA at the times had witnessed some old tsarist officers or generals willingly contributing to the Soviet efforts (Out of Bondage by E. Bentley, New York : Devin-Adair, 1951 — which book every Slav person should read).

However, as the Red Armies went west, the war, or rather the politics of the Kremlin, was gradually becoming less and less patriotic. This the Russian authors have noted and acknowledged. What went wrong ? Without looking far of answers, the last chapters of self-same text by E. Bentley (Out of Bondage) can give some cues.

The Red plague had been present within Russia for a number of decades, and it seems anybody's guess what kind of mindset may presently predominate in that country.

This is in everybody's interest ; without interfering with somebody's internal affairs one can yet make sure that the historic facts be not lost under the barrage of false propaganda, whether old (which can be republished) or new. (These were usually propagated worldwide).

The authors have also questioned Mr. Gorbachev's 'perestroyka' — and one can be grateful to some Russian authors for having done so. Mr. Gorbachev would still cling to some kind of 'socialism' ; which term does contain a misconception.

There may be some new and better ways of governing invented, but, for any kind of Deity's sake, please leave that old bunk aside.

It seems to me that every Slav person (not just every Czech person) should know the story and the writings by V.L. Borin. And every Australian person, too ; and every person in the world who would prefer no more of the 20th century-style developments connected with 'ideology'.

Please keep in mind that the marxist-leninist conspiracy had an entirely international outlook (this the US governments, for example, had seldom quite seen). If the work by Mr. V.L. Borin be in any fashion sabotaged in Australia (as it seems to have happened in the US where it is not found in the libraries), then this would endanger the entire planet.

Comment   Mr. Roberts has been also proposing 'capitalism' at some place. In my perspective this 'capitalism' is not without its probleems ; the term stands for an ofte-n vague idea ; the term might have been used also by the marxist specialists of disinformation for the purpose of creating chaos by way of making misleading statements in favor of this 'capitalism'. Free market economics would be probably a better definition of what one might prefer. — (WPT).

On the German

By sending Lenin to Russia our Government had . . . assumed a great responsibility. From a military point of view his journey was justified, for Russia had to be laid low. But our Government should have seen to it that we also were not involved in her fall.
(Erich von Ludendorff, 'Ludendorff's Own Story August 1914 - November 1918', New York and London : Harper & Brothers 1919, vol. ii, p. 126.)

Comment This was written in 1918. In 1919, Germany almost did get fully involved in Russia's fall.

It did get involved in Russia's fall in 1945 and thereabouts. There were even some talks about 'unification' then ; which would portend the Soviet influence in the entire country.

Most of the planet got involved in Russia's fall.
