The other night at home I watched a bit of a TV show, and the USA fighting for
"freedom" in the Berlin airlift of 1948-49 against those "terrible" Communists
in Moscow, carrying out that "awful blockade" of those "wonderful" people in
the Western zones of military government and occupation of Germany as
provided for at the end of the Second World War. Moscow was acting "unprovoked"
except for the Western power having economically merged their sectors of occupation
of Germany and providing them with he same currency in 1947, with France being
the last holdout, and these same Western powers locking Moscow out and thus
putting the economic squeeze on Moscow's zone in Germany. The US and British
zones had adopted the same currency in 1946, and the French zone followed in
1947.

But the nice fairy tale version of the Western powers, especially the USA fighting for
"freedom" in the Cold War is the one the US TV and the rest of the mainstream US
media have fallen in love with no mater how absolutely false it is.

This is more than solidly documented in Blowback, a book by Christopher Simpson, at
one time with he Institute for Policy Studies. It was back in March 1945 with one account
of March 8th and going through March 19th when Allen Dulles, the big time traitor and
Nazi lover he had been before and during the Second World War and his fellow traitors
to his country made a sweetheart deal with with two Nazi generals to put them on the
US intelligence payroll, not taking them as prisoners, but instead having them advise
the US Government what a "great threat" Moscow, the then US ally "really" was to Western
and especially US "freedom." "Operation Sunrise," as it was called but better called
Operation Quisling didn't shorten the fighting in Italian campaign against the Nazi regime,
the worst tyranny in history, and actually combat continued until May 2nd that same year.
Thus did Dulles and his fellow traitors gave absolute "aid and comfort" to "enemies of the
United States" and commit their outrageous act of treason.

Dulles was then a top level US operative with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), then
the principal US intelligence apparatus operating in US Army intelligence and directly
a part of the US Army. Dulles would go on to become the director of the Central Intelligence
Agency continuing to bring those who had been fanatical enemies of the USA into the
US intelligence apparatus. Dulles and his gang were parties to bring hard core Nazis
onto the US intelligence payroll, penetrating it, and ultimately dominating it. At this
point the hard core Nazis were as happy as a bunch of S & Mers at a whips and chains
convention.

That Dulles and his allies would purge records of such hard core Nazis including those
in the SS, SA (storm troopers), SD, and the Gestapo of anything showing their hard core
Nazi connections, provide them with fake identiteis, fake passports, et al insured Dulles
Dulles and these Nazi thugs would escape detection of any kind by those US authorities
so inclined to perform their patriotic duties.

Very early Klaus Barbie, one of the worst Nazi war criminals came under the protection
and got on the payroll of US intelligence. By 1953 the CIA was bankrolling and protecting
the top level of Adoph Eichmann's gang.

Some opposition to the Dulles/hard core Nazi line on the "terrible" threat from Moscow
quickly emerged at the then Research and Analysis (R & A) branch of the OSS, where
analysts were simply engaged in gathering information to independently and objectively
provide it to the top of the US military and government providing with information needed
to better formulate foreign policy, as they saw no threat at all from Moscow after looking
at same information. But one individual in R & A who had been a Communist in the 1930s
but long ago quit the party was enough to give the advantage to Dulles and his gang once
they could find out about this, as R & A hadn't hidden or purged the records of any its members.
Dulles and his crowd used this big time to win their fight with R & A for influence with the top
of the US military and the US Government. The Dulles gang and R & A had both made charges
against each other, with the Dulles side attacking R & A for pro communist bias and R & A rightly
charging the Dulles gang with pro fascist and pro Nazi bias, but the Dulles gang's charges of
pro communist bias against R & A carried more weight with the top of the US military and at
the White House when it came out that one R & A member had been a Communist. The Dulles
gang successful purging of the Nazi past of their hard core Nazis this gang had recruited made
the crucial difference. After this the US Government moved to get rid of R & A, thus ending the
independent analysis it had provided and the opposition it could provide in the US intelligence
community to the Dulles gang, some of whom naively believed that the Nazis they were dealing
were simply people some US military officers "hated" because them because of their "nominal"
membership in the German military alone. This purging of R & A came about before the Cold
War officially started.

Later when Joseph McCarthy came along, the hard core Nazis would align themselves with
him, and McCarthy would use them to dig up dirt on those opposed to him and his fanatical
"grand crusade" against the "communists" in the State Department and elsewhere.

Other opponents with significant influence or authority of this Cold War "grand crusade" ended
up in this time being likewise purged.

Add to this the fact that the US intelligence community would later recruit fanatical anti Casto
Cuban exiles in the early 1960s, hard core security types for the corrupt, oppressive right
wing regime in Saigon in the late 1960s, and of Somocista dominated contras fighting their
criminal war against the Sandinista government in Nicaragua in the 1980s, and it's clear
how US foreign policy can be so distorted and not all in US national interests or reflecting
democratic values in the least.

Moreover, with the pervasive influence in the US national security apparatus of the hard core
Nazis along with those just cited, the current neo cons, and the threat is even greater. With
Moscow now having a first strike policy regarding nuclear weapons, that's especially true. Now
with Johnny "Straight BS" McCain and the neo cons seeking to renew a Cold War with Moscow,
it's crucial to look at why the other one wasn't worth a damn.
