    This man opened my eyes a few years ago, he really opened my eyes to the fact that the world is a theatre, and we the audience, looking at every play and believing it, Anthony was like the dog in the wizard of oz, who pulled the curtain and revealed the wizard to me.

    Don't know if this has come up before, but anyway Dr Anthony C Sutton wrote a book, National Suicide: Military Aid to the Soviet Union (1973), he states the CFR funded the USSR during the coldwar with american taxpayers money.
    This man is not a nut, Antony Cyril Sutton (February 14, 1925 - June 17, 2002) was a British-born economist, historian, and writer. He studied at the universities of London, Goettingen and California and received his D.Sc. degree from University of Southampton, England. He was an economics professor at California State University Los Angeles and a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution from 1968 to 1973.
    During his time at the Hoover Institute he wrote the major study Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development (in three volumes), detailing how the West played a major role in developing Soviet Union from its very beginnings up until the present time (1970). He was forced out of the Hoover Institute after publishing National Suicide: Military Aid to the Soviet Union in 1973.

    Here's a lecture from him in 1976, very interesting, life changing maybe,

    This is the height of the cold war remember, when the world was wondering "will they drop the bomb".


    The Communist - Capitalist Alliance - 1

    Professor Antony Sutton delivered to the Republican Platform Committee in 1972 (during the Vietnam War) which revealed the U.S. was funding the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union was sending weapons to North Vietnam, North Vietnam was sending weapons to the Viet Cong, and the Viet Cong were killing American soldiers in the rice paddies and villages of South Vietnam.[5] Why did that happen? Because the CFR-Globalists who controlled the U.S. State Department wanted to prolong the Vietnam War so they could continue the social revolution that was under way in the U.S. at that time.
    Some members of Congress recognized what was happening, and tried to warn the America people. Congressman John Ashbrook stated (March 6, 1974):

    “...U.S. technical trade with the Soviet Union and other East European countries has ‘gained significant momentum’ since the May, 1972 Moscow summit conference and will undoubtedly continue to increase at a gradual rate. The American share of Soviet imports of plants and equipment from the West is now running about 20 percent of the total. It is ironic that while American businessmen are trading hundreds of millions of dollars for plants and equipment to the Soviet Union, the Administration is asking for an increased defense budget to meet the Soviet military threat - a threat which, in part, is being built with American technology.” [18]

    Congressman Steve Symms was concerned about U.S. aid to the Soviet Union, and wrote a March 1974 article that stated:

    “Few Americans fully appreciate the extent to which their tax dollars are being used to finance their own destruction. The dealings of the Export-Import Bank are a good example. U.S. ‘loans’ to the Soviet Union through the bank now total over 760 million dollars to finance projects like constructing the world’s largest truck plant on the Kama River. Only two weeks ago an additional $67.5 million of your money was provided for this project, along with a 20 million dollar loan for a Russian acetic acid plant.

    "Another $180 million is now being earmarked for a chemical complex in the USSR and $49.5 million for a gas exploration project in Eastern Siberia. .

    "U.S. tax dollars are not only propping up a ruthless dictatorship but they are helping to arm our enemy to the teeth. While America is... building factories and other valuable strategic facilities on Russian soil, the Kremlin is diverting proportionally more of its own resources toward sophisticated offensive weaponry. It makes one wonder whose side the Export-Import Bank officials are really on. Modern-day liberals often refer to these kinds of suicidal give-aways as ‘meaningful cooperation in the spirit of detente.’ It used to be called treason.” [19]

    When U.S. Senator William Armstrong addressed the Senate in 1982, he stated:

    “America’s budgetary woes would not be nearly so severe if our economy were not groaning under the strain of financing two military budgets: Our own, and a significant portion of the Soviet Union’s.... This great irony for Americans who will be asked to tighten their belts in order to pay for our defense needs.... It is difficult to overstate the extent to which the West had contributed to the military threat that now endangers our very existence.” [20]

    The following year (1983), John Lehman, the Secretary of the Navy, told the graduating class of midshipmen at Annapolis:

    “Within weeks, many of you will be looking across just hundreds of feet of water at some of the most modern technology ever invented in America. Unfortunately, it is on Soviet ships.”[21]

    ...How did Russia become the largest oil and natural gas producer in the world? The CFR-Globalists blocked efforts to develop the massive oil and natural gas resources in the U.S., and financed oil and natural gas exploration in the Soviet Union. Congressman Richard H. Ichord wrote (1974):

    “We are especially alarmed by the report that the Bank (Export-Import Bank) is on the verge of granting $49 million in credit to the Soviet Union for exploration of Eastern Siberian gas fields. We believe that American financing of Soviet gas exploration at this particular time in history, especially at an interest rate of 6% (which is in effect to be subsidized by the American taxpayer), smacks not only of poor business judgment, but suggests a disregard for our national security. Every nation’s defense capacity is directly related to its energy resources. The real question is why do we spend some $80 billion a year to maintain such a large military establishment....”

    Well it should be, after all the whole world were "frightened" that there would be a nuclear war, and in fact it was "problem, reaction, solution" situation designed to confuse and manipulate people.
