I've been following it for a few years now: the note is worth reading. (It doesn't mention things such as, the legal Professor who designed and set up the trial said that it was a sham (sic, yeah ... sic!) but then that may be in the links and all legal Professors are conspiracy theorists anyway. Another point - have you noticed that the term 'conspiracy theorist' has replaced 'leftwinger' which replaced 'communist': all 'thought stoppers').<BR/><BR/>One other point, the article finishes with ... "<I>As a result, this part of history will remain a boldfaced lie.</I>" No, no, no ... The state is being ignored, <I>disintermediated</I>; this (the internet, your blog, other blogs, my opinions, the differing opinions of others) is an example of such.

It was intersting to see that his speech was, well, a bit "misreported" in the German media and to see what he really said.<BR/><BR/>The thing is, I buy most of what he says about the west. Alas, the guided democracy in Russia and the war in Chechnya tell a different picture about Russia. Which makes his motives for this speech a bit dubious.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17656677562262684318noreply@blogger.com
