A Hidden History of Evil
Why doesnt anyone care about the unread Soviet archives?
In the worlds collective consciousness, the word Nazi is synonymous with evil. It is widely understood that the Nazis ideologynationalism, anti-Semitism, the autarkic ethnic state, the Führer principleled directly to the furnaces of Auschwitz. It is not nearly as well understood that Communism led just as inexorably, everywhere on the globe where it was applied, to starvation, torture, and slave-labor camps. Nor is it widely acknowledged that Communism was responsible for the deaths of some 150 million human beings during the twentieth century. The world remains inexplicably indifferent and uncurious about the deadliest ideology in history.
For evidence of this indifference, consider the unread Soviet archives. Pavel Stroilov, a Russian exile in London, has on his computer 50,000 unpublished, untranslated, top-secret Kremlin documents, mostly dating from the close of the Cold War. He stole them in 2003 and fled Russia. Within living memory, they would have been worth millions to the CIA; they surely tell a story about Communism and its collapse that the world needs to know. Yet he cant get anyone to house them in a reputable library, publish them, or fund their translation. In fact, he cant get anyone to take much interest in them at all.
Then theres Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovsky, who once spent 12 years in the USSRs prisons, labor camps, and psikhushkaspolitical psychiatric hospitalsafter being convicted of copying anti-Soviet literature. He, too, possesses a massive collection of stolen and smuggled papers from the archives of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, which, as he writes, contain the beginnings and the ends of all the tragedies of our bloodstained century. These documents are available online at bukovsky-archives.net, but most are not translated. They are unorganized; there are no summaries; there is no search or index function. I offer them free of charge to the most influential newspapers and journals in the world, but nobody wants to print them, Bukovsky writes. Editors shrug indifferently: So what? Who cares?
The originals of most of Stroilovs documents remain in the Kremlin archives, where, like most of the Soviet Unions top-secret documents from the post-Stalin era, they remain classified. They include, Stroilov says, transcripts of nearly every conversation between Gorbachev and his foreign counterpartshundreds of them, a near-complete diplomatic record of the era, available nowhere else. There are notes from the Politburo taken by Georgy Shakhnazarov, an aide of Gorbachevs, and by Politburo member Vadim Medvedev. There is the diary of Anatoly ChernyaevGorbachevs principal aide and deputy chief of the body formerly known as the Cominternwhich dates from 1972 to the collapse of the regime. There are reports, dating from the 1960s, by Vadim Zagladin, deputy chief of the Central Committees International Department until 1987 and then Gorbachevs advisor until 1991. Zagladin was both envoy and spy, charged with gathering secrets, spreading disinformation, and advancing Soviet influence.
When Gorbachev and his aides were ousted from the Kremlin, they took unauthorized copies of these documents with them. The documents were scanned and stored in the archives of the Gorbachev Foundation, one of the first independent think tanks in modern Russia, where a handful of friendly and vetted researchers were given limited access to them. Then, in 1999, the foundation opened a small part of the archive to independent researchers, including Stroilov. The key parts of the collection remained restricted; documents could be copied only with the written permission of the author, and Gorbachev refused to authorize any copies whatsoever. But there was a flaw in the foundations security, Stroilov explained to me. When things went wrong with the computers, as often they did, he was able to watch the network administrator typing the password that gave access to the foundations network. Slowly and secretly, Stroilov copied the archive and sent it to secure locations around the world.
When I first heard about Stroilovs documents, I wondered if they were forgeries. But in 2006, having assessed the documents with the cooperation of prominent Soviet dissidents and Cold War spies, British judges concluded that Stroilov was credible and granted his asylum request. The Gorbachev Foundation itself has since acknowledged the documents authenticity.
Bukovskys story is similar. In 1992, President Boris Yeltsins government invited him to testify at the Constitutional Court of Russia in a case concerning the constitutionality of the Communist Party. The Russian State Archives granted Bukovsky access to its documents to prepare his testimony. Using a handheld scanner, he copied thousands of documents and smuggled them to the West.
The Russian state cannot sue Stroilov or Bukovsky for breach of copyright, since the material was created by the Communist Party and the Soviet Union, neither of which now exists. Had he remained in Russia, however, Stroilov believes that he could have been prosecuted for disclosure of state secrets or treason. The military historian Igor Sutyagin is now serving 15 years in a hard-labor camp for the crime of collecting newspaper clippings and other open-source materials and sending them to a British consulting firm. The danger that Stroilov and Bukovsky faced was real and grave; they both assumed, one imagines, that the world would take notice of what they had risked so much to acquire.
Stroilov claims that his documents tell a completely new story about the end of the Cold War. The commonly accepted version of history of that period consists of myths almost entirely. These documents are capable of ruining each of those myths. Is this so? I couldnt say. I dont read Russian. Of Stroilovs documents, I have seen only the few that have been translated into English. Certainly, they shouldnt be taken at face value; they were, after all, written by Communists. But the possibility that Stroilov is right should surely compel keen curiosity.
For instance, the documents cast Gorbachev in a far darker light than the one in which he is generally regarded. In one document, he laughs with the Politburo about the USSRs downing of Korean Airlines flight 007 in 1983a crime that was not only monstrous but brought the world very near to nuclear Armageddon. These minutes from a Politburo meeting on October 4, 1989, are similarly disturbing:
Lukyanov reports that the real number of casualties on Tiananmen Square was 3,000.
Gorbachev: We must be realists. They, like us, have to defend themselves. Three thousands . . . So what?
And a transcript of Gorbachevs conversation with Hans-Jochen Vogel, the leader of West Germanys Social Democratic Party, shows Gorbachev defending Soviet troops April 9, 1989, massacre of peaceful protesters in Tbilisi.
Stroilovs documents also contain transcripts of Gorbachevs discussions with many Middle Eastern leaders. These suggest interesting connections between Soviet policy and contemporary trends in Russian foreign policy.
Here is a fragment from a conversation reported to have taken place with Syrian president Hafez al-Assad on April 28, 1990:
H. ASSAD. To put pressure on Israel, Baghdad would need to get closer to Damascus, because Iraq has no common borders with Israel. . . .
M. S. GORBACHEV. I think so, too. . . .
H. ASSAD. Israels approach is different, because the Judaic religion itself states: the land of Israel spreads from Nile to Euphrates and its return is a divine predestination.
M. S. GORBACHEV. But this is racism, combined with Messianism!
H. ASSAD. This is the most dangerous form of racism.
One doesnt need to be a fantasist to wonder whether these discussions might be relevant to our understanding of contemporary Russian policy in a region of some enduring strategic significance.
There are other ways in which the story that Stroilovs and Bukovskys papers tell isnt over. They suggest, for example, that the architects of the European integration project, as well as many of todays senior leaders in the European Union, were far too close to the USSR for comfort. This raises important questions about the nature of contemporary Europequestions that might be asked when Americans consider Europe as a model for social policy, or when they seek European diplomatic cooperation on key issues of national security.
According to Zagladins reports, for example, Kenneth Coates, who from 1989 to 1998 was a British member of the European Parliament, approached Zagladin on January 9, 1990, to discuss what amounted to a gradual merger of the European Parliament and the Supreme Soviet. Coates, says Zagladin, explained that creating an infrastructure of cooperation between the two parliament[s] would help . . . to isolate the rightists in the European Parliament (and in Europe), those who are interested in the USSRs collapse. Coates served as chair of the European Parliaments Subcommittee on Human Rights from 1992 to 1994. How did it come to pass that Europe was taking advice about human rights from a man who had apparently wished to isolate those interested in the USSRs collapse and sought to extend Soviet influence in Europe?
Or consider a report on Francisco Fernández Ordóñez, who led Spains integration into the European Community as its foreign minister. On March 3, 1989, according to these documents, he explained to Gorbachev that the success of perestroika means only one thingthe success of the socialist revolution in contemporary conditions. And that is exactly what the reactionaries dont accept. Eighteen months later, Ordóñez told Gorbachev: I feel intellectual disgust when I have to read, for example, passages in the documents of G7 where the problems of democracy, freedom of human personality and ideology of market economy are set on the same level. As a socialist, I cannot accept such an equation. Perhaps most shockingly, the Eastern European press has reported that Stroilovs documents suggest that François Mitterrand was maneuvering with Gorbachev to ensure that Germany would unite as a neutral, socialist entity under a Franco-Soviet condominium.
Zagladins records also note that the former leader of the British Labour Party, Neil Kinnock, approached Gorbachevunauthorized, while Kinnock was leader of the oppositionthrough a secret envoy to discuss the possibility of halting the United Kingdoms Trident nuclear-missile program. The minutes of the meeting between Gorbachev and the envoy, MP Stuart Holland, read as follows:
In [Hollands] opinion, Soviet Union should be very interested in liquidation of Tridents because, apart from other things, the Westmeaning the US, Britain and Francewould have a serious advantage over the Soviet Union after the completion of START treaty. THAT ADVANTAGE WILL NEED TO BE ELIMINATED. . . . At the same time Holland noted that, of course, we can seriously think about realisation of that idea only if the Labour comes to power. He said Thatcher . . . would never agree to any reduction of nuclear armaments.
Kinnock was vice president of the European Commission from 1999 to 2004, and his wife, Glenys, is now Britains minister for Europe. Gerard Batten, a member of the UK Independence Party, has noted the significance of the episode. If the report given to Mr. Gorbachev is true, it means that Lord Kinnock approached one of Britains enemies in order to seek approval regarding his partys defense policy and, had he been elected, Britains defense policy, Batten said to the European Parliament in 2009. If this report is true, then Lord Kinnock would be guilty of treason.
Similarly, Baroness Catherine Ashton, who is now the European Unions foreign minister, was treasurer of Britains Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament from 1980 to 1982. The papers offer evidence that this organization received unidentified income from the Soviet Union in the 1980s. Stroilovs papers suggest as well that the government of the current Spanish EU commissioner for economic and monetary affairs, Joaquín Almunia, enthusiastically supported the Soviet project of gradually unifying Germany and Europe into a socialist common European home and strongly opposed the independence of the Baltic states and then of Ukraine.
Perhaps it doesnt surprise you to read that prominent European politicians held these views. But why doesnt it? It is impossible to imagine that figures who had enjoyed such close ties to the Nazi Partyor, for that matter, to the Ku Klux Klan or to South Africas apartheid regimewould enjoy top positions in Europe today. The rules are different, apparently, for Communist fellow travelers. We now have the EU unelected socialist party running Europe, Stroilov said to me. Bet the KGB cant believe it.
And what of Zagladins description of his dealings with our own current vice president in 1979?
Unofficially, [Senator Joseph] BIDEN and [Senator Richard] LUGAR said that, in the end of the day, they were not so much concerned with having a problem of this or that citizen solved as with showing to the American public that they do care for human rights. . . . In other words, the collocutors directly admitted that what is happening is a kind of a show, that they absolutely do not care for the fate of most so-called dissidents. Remarkably, the world has shown little interest in the unread Soviet archives.
That paragraph about Biden is a good example. Stroilov and Bukovsky coauthored a piece about it for the online magazine FrontPage on October 10, 2008; it passed without remark. Americans considered the episode so uninteresting that even Bidens political opponents didnt try to turn it into political capital. Imagine, if you can, what it must feel like to have spent the prime of your life in a Soviet psychiatric hospital, to know that Joe Biden is now vice president of the United States, and to know that no one gives a damn.
Bukovskys book about the story that these documents tell, Jugement à Moscou, has been published in French, Russian, and a few other Slavic languages, but not in English. Random House bought the manuscript and, in Bukovskys words, tried to force me to rewrite the whole book from the liberal left political perspective. Bukovsky replied that due to certain peculiarities of my biography I am allergic to political censorship. The contract was canceled, the book was never published in English, and no other publisher has shown interest in it. Neither has anyone wanted to publish EUSSR, a pamphlet by Stroilov and Bukovsky about the Soviet roots of European integration. In 2004, a very small British publisher did print an abbreviated version of the pamphlet; it, too, passed unnoticed.
Stroilov has a long list of complaints about journalists who have initially shown interest in the documents, only to tell him later that their editors have declared the story insignificant. In advance of Gorbachevs visit to Germany for the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Stroilov says, he offered the German press the documents depicting Gorbachev unflatteringly. There were no takers. In France, news about the documents showing Mitterrands and Gorbachevs plans to turn Germany into a dependent socialist state prompted a few murmurs of curiosity, nothing more. Bukovskys vast collection about Soviet sponsorship of terrorism, Palestinian and otherwise, remains largely unpublished.
Stroilov says that he and Bukovsky approached Jonathan Brent of Yale University Press, which is leading a publishing project on the history of the Cold War. He claims that initially Brent was enthusiastic and asked him to write a book, based on the documents, about the first Gulf War. Stroilov says that he wrote the first six chapters, sent them off, and never heard from Brent again, despite sending him e-mail after e-mail. I can only speculate what so much frightened him in that book, Stroilov wrote to me.
Ive also asked Brent and received no reply. This doesnt mean anything; people are busy. I am less inclined to believe in complex attempts to suppress the truth than I am in indifference and preoccupation with other things. Stroilov sees in these events a kind of a taboo, the vague common understanding in the Establishment that it is better to let sleeping dogs lie, not to throw stones in a house of glass, and not to mention a rope in the house of a hanged man. I suspect it is something even more disturbing: no one much cares.
I know the time will come, Stroilov says, when the world has to look at those documents very carefully. We just cannot escape this. We have no way forward until we face the truth about what happened to us in the twentieth century. Even now, no matter how hard we try to ignore history, all these questions come back to us time and again.
The questions come back time and again, it is true, but few remember that they have been asked before, and few remember what the answer looked like. No one talks much about the victims of Communism. No one erects memorials to the throngs of people murdered by the Soviet state. (In his widely ignored book, A Century of Violence in Soviet Russia, Alexander Yakovlev, the architect of perestroika under Gorbachev, puts the number at 30 to 35 million.)
Indeed, many still subscribe to the essential tenets of Communist ideology. Politicians, academics, students, even the occasional autodidact taxi driver still stand opposed to private property. Many remain enthralled by schemes for central economic planning. Stalin, according to polls, is one of Russias most popular historical figures. No small number of young people in Istanbul, where I live, proudly describe themselves as Communists; I have met such people around the world, from Seattle to Calcutta.
We rightly insisted upon total denazification; we rightly excoriate those who now attempt to revive the Nazis ideology. But the world exhibits a perilous failure to acknowledge the monstrous history of Communism. These documents should be translated. They should be housed in a reputable library, properly cataloged, and carefully assessed by scholars. Above all, they should be well-known to a public that seems to have forgotten what the Soviet Union was really about. If they contain what Stroilov and Bukovsky sayand all the evidence Ive seen suggests that they dothis is the obligation of anyone who gives a damn about history, foreign policy, and the scores of millions dead.
Claire Berlinski, a contributing editor of City Journal, is an American journalist who lives in Istanbul. She is the author of There Is No Alternative: Why Margaret Thatcher Matters.

Long article but she writes so well it's an easy read. Amazing stuff yet it's wiki-leaks which gets the attention.
Ask any kid. They think Gorbachev magnanimously decided to get rid of communism. Reagan, Thatcher, and the Pope's efforts are forgotten except for those of us who lived through it and future conservative historians.
"For evidence of this indifference, consider the unread Soviet archives. Pavel Stroilov, a Russian exile in London, has on his computer 50,000 unpublished, untranslated, top-secret Kremlin documents, mostly dating from the close of the Cold War. He stole them in 2003 and fled Russia. Within living memory, they would have been worth millions to the CIA; they surely tell a story about Communism and its collapse that the world needs to know. Yet he can't get anyone to house them in a reputable library, publish them, or fund their translation. In fact, he cant get anyone to take much interest in them at all."
Unfreaking believable......
Oh, those wacky communists. They were just playing around. How can I be interested in this when Britney Spears is showing her most important part again.
"The world remains inexplicably indifferent and uncurious about the deadliest ideology in history."
Not if you were raised in my family...Master Chief Duntno would have kicked your ass all over town if you said anything positive about a Democrat, a Democrat idea or even soccer ... "that communist sport that's taking kids away from football and making them pansies."
Yes, she had the college revisionist history professors after her on that and other non-specific points...link to her response...
memory hole bookmark.
And Democracy leads just as inexorably to Socialism and Communism. How about we go back to a Free Republic and step back from the edge of the Democratic cliff?
Just a thought we all here can relate to...
Nancy Pelosi: One of Mikhail Gorbachev's most useful idiots
By Judi McLeod
Wednesday, November 15, 2006
Investigative journalists doing their jobs should dig deep—really deep—into Nancy Pelosi's role in the controversial, $280-million, federal-funded Hunters Point Shipyard affair—in relation to her alleged role as an investor in a real estate investment entity called PRESIDIO PARTNERS....
...For Pelosi it's a well trodden trail that goes all the way to former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, the Presidio's most famous tenant.
Among the unpublicized facts about Nancy Pelosi was that she was an investor in a real estate investment entity called PRESIDIO PARTNERS, which set up shortly after the Nixon Administration's first closure of federal military bases around the US,.
Among the choicest real estate properties were (a) San Francisco's Presidio Fort then the headquarters for the Sixth US Army (b) Treasure Island and Yreba Buena Island, the US Navy's parcels in San Francisco Bay (c) The Hunter's Point Naval Base, then biggest US Navy base between Seattle Washington Long Beach and San Diego California.
Pelosi's involvement in the disposal of federal military surplus land is matched only by Gorbachev, who as founder of Green Cross International (GCI) devised a mechanism for converting American military bases to civilian uses converting the bases over to global centers for sustainability. Gorbachev's mission of converting American military bases to global centers for sustainability came just two years after he resigned as president of the Soviet Union on December 25, 1991.
CGI built on the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro and supported the implementation of the summit's Agenda 21.
Pelosi patiently shepherded Agenda 21 through Congress. On March 29, 1993 she introduced a joint resolution (H.J.RES166) to renew the call for the United States to assume a strong leadership role in implementing Agenda 21 and other Summit agreements, eventually gathering 67 co-sponsors for her bill, 32 of whom are still in Congress.
In a speech entitled From Swords to Plowshares, delivered in the House of Representatives on June 4, 1992, Pelosi cheered the arrival of Gorbachev to the Presidio as a tenant.
The National Park Service is actively seeking ideas for programs and tenants at this spectacular site. Last month, former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev visited the presidio to propose that the Gorbachev Foundation/use be located at the Presidio when the army leaves. In his words, it is wonderful and symbolic that a military base is being converted for use by the people'.
As the cold war ends, Pelosi continued, it is, indeed, fitting that this army garrison—one of the oldest in the United States—will be transformed to a monument to peace, environmental preservation and recreation as a global park.
Less than a year after Pelosi's fawning words, Gorbachev and his American pre-funded $3.5-million Gorbachev Foundation moved into new a white, shingled bayfront house at the historic Presidio overlooking the Golden Bridge...
I was thinking of doing a new "flashback" thread on this...
This is awful. I once participated in a letter-writing campaign to get Vladimir Bukovsky out of a Soviet psychiatric internment; brilliant man, brilliant and brave beyond all telling; and now nobody gives a $#!+
The Nazis killed @ 7 million.
Stalin killed 25 million and Mao killed over 80 million people.
Schicklgruber was a piker compared to those two.
I hope this gets some traction especially in light of world attention on wikileaks and I think I'll post the vile Pelosi...Gorbachev deal story above because of the recent "eminent domain" story in the news. These people consider our property as their property...it has to stop.
nobody in his right mind would ask a kid about anything historic. Unless that kid is home schooled.
Double that.
He's still a piker, relatively, though.
Very interesting posts here for you to disseminate, should you wish to do so. LS, you may find this very interesting indeed. And Cindy, well you are the best archiver I know. Starwise and PGALT, long time no talk, but I thought you would like to see these posts. Finally, Neverdem just something for you to file where ever you like. TY,bronxville for posting this. It is quite astonishing.
Yet they're the two who gets a pass by the progressives.
I would think Hillsdale would be a logical candidate for such a library....but perhaps they want a better known/Ivy league university?
These things only confirm for me that history can only be understood if viewed through a spiritual or religious lens.
"Be sure to read the whole thing, then look around ask yourself: does anybody give a damn? Or did the bad guys win after all?"
Crap, we can't even get our Dear Leader to show his long form BC, much less give a damn about 150 million people killed off buy the Soviet Empire. Very distressful.
Read about Steve Emerson's discovery in 1992 of Jihadis among us in 'American Jihad', and what happened when he brought this information to the attention of the authorities.
Islam, the religion of piece (spelling intentional).
Two blocks from where I live, they have a welfare distribution center for Muslims entering this country. My (our) tax dollars at work. Grrrr.....do not get me started.
I've always been disgusted by the game our media liberals play, where they recognize that national socialists were pure evil but pretend that soviet socialists were any different at all. The problem is not Germany or the nationalist brand of socialism; the problem is socialism itself. The idea that the government should have the power to distribute wealth according to any ideology is the problem. I think those in the media know that, which is why they work so hard to hide the truth about their beloved Stalin. How could the voters trust Obama, Pelosi, or Hillary with the same power if they fully understood that power and a socialist ideology lead inevitably to the terrible outcome we saw under both brands of socialism in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s?
I agree with the author. The world missed a golden opportunity when it declined to have Nuremburg-style trials for the communist leaders of eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.
There's a good reason for that. The communists had, and still have, many collaborators in the West, and any trials would connect them together. There was a lot of collusion going on across the Iron Curtain.
And here we are.
the main attitude is the belief that someone else will deal with it, that they themselves don't have to anymore.
Almost all historians are revisionist but Ron Radosh is a typical neo-liberal/con, he blows both ways. He has defended McCarthy and others but when anything new about the useful idiots come along he starts to get nervous like all the rest of the lefty apparatchiks. Pajama Media and many other right sites tend to have a number of these types like that LaRaza jerk Ruben Navarrette. More info about this dustup here: http://lonelyconservative.com/2010/05/bukovsky-and-stroilov-weigh-in-on-dispute-between-berlinski-and-radosh/
There is no way they would they have Nuremburg-like trials of the Commies. They were our allies in WW2 remember? Between Roosevelt and Churchill, it was the former who enjoyed being an ally with Uncle Joe the most...sad to say, me being an American. Churchill, at least, had great reservations about it.

Presidio Partners
Nancy Pelosi: One of Mikhail Gorbachev's most useful idiots

What about this? Buried in plain sight in the article:
Unofficially, [Senator Joseph] BIDEN and [Senator Richard] LUGAR said that, in the end of the day, they were not so much concerned with having a problem of this or that citizen solved as with showing to the American public that they do care for human rights. . . .
Thanks for the info. Interesting - will read later.
Sad but true, brother.
Thanks for posting this. I picked up a book in a junk store titled "Stalin History of a Dictator" published in 1971. Lots of interesting stuff in there, especially about WW2.
And when you read on x it gets worse...
"Bukovskys book about the story that these documents tell, Jugement à Moscou, has been published in French, Russian, and a few other Slavic languages, but not in English. Random House bought the manuscript and, in Bukovskys words, tried to force me to rewrite the whole book from the liberal left political perspective. Bukovsky replied that due to certain peculiarities of my biography I am allergic to political censorship. The contract was canceled, the book was never published in English, and no other publisher has shown interest in it. Neither has anyone wanted to publish EUSSR, a pamphlet by Stroilov and Bukovsky about the Soviet roots of European integration. In 2004, a very small British publisher did print an abbreviated version of the pamphlet; it, too, passed unnoticed."
You're welcome Rusty. I have little trust in books after the 50s' but jewels are to be found after that period.
I've spent years debating my friends and relatives in Europe that we had a free press here, freedom of speech, liberty...but I was blind.
The Germans* killed 7 million? I'd add another 43 million to that and you get the amount of people killed in WW2, which Hitler and the German people were directly responsible for. >>(* I refer to the ''Nazis'' as ''Germans'', which they were. The revisionists like to say "Nazis'' as if the "Nazis'' were something that fell out of the clouds into Germany one day.)
"This is what Gorbachev told the Politburo in 1989: Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about glasnost and perestroika and democracy in the coming years. These are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant change in the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our aim is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep. (Italics CFPs).
And disarming America is precisely what Gorbachev went on to successfully do.
Its not as if if Gorbachev faded into the woodwork after his well celebrated arrival in America. To this day, hes an active member of the Maurice Strong, George Soros triumvirate pulling the puppet strings of President Barack Obama.
No one eased the path for Gorbachevs agenda to close federal military bases around the U.S. more than Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosis involvement in the disposal of federal military surplus land is matched only by Gorbachev, who as founder of Green Cross International (GCI) devised a mechanism for converting American military bases to civilian uses converting the bases over to global centers for sustainability. (Canada Free Press, Nov. 15, 2006).
During her Presidio stint, it is alleged that she was an investor in a real estate investment called Presidio Partners."
I'm no fan of Pat Buchanan, but I think he was right about this. He said we should not have allied with Stalin in WW2, we should have let the two Socialist tyrants, Hitler and Stalin, bleed each other white fighting each other.
Both Churchill and Roosevelt, of course, thought they could not win without Stalin.
Thanks very much for the ping; post/links; link; link; thread.
I'll give you one guess.
Well, that's a lot of retrospect there for Pat. Maybe he should write an alternate history. Too bad we can't see history forward.
Thank you for the link. Quite interesting.

The Cleveland Town Council will hold a public hearing on Feb. 12, at 7 p.m. The council members encourage area residents to attend this hearing and give their input on the proposed new public safety building. Floor plans that are being considered may be viewed at the Cleveland Town Office.
The Council is working diligently to get help with funding for the new building. They also have been approached about and are considering the possibility of selling the old town office building to help with funding the new building. However, residents should know that if the new fire station building is approved city taxes will be increased.
Other items of business discussed at this meeting included the following:
The council voted on and approved opening of the new section eight of the cemetery.
They agreed only whole plots which is eight graves will be sold in this section as there are still plenty of single lots available in the older section of the cemetery.
Also approved was the scraping and painting of the cemetery fence as a scout project, the purchase of a snow plow blade and the city agreed to trade fill dirt for future projects for the time of city worker Steve Taylor on the back-hoe to dig a trench for a resident.
Last but not least, a big thank you was given to all the Cleveland residents who helped with snow removal on the sidewalks and streets during the recent storms.

I feel really sorry for S/H. missing one lift and then 16 points lower than their PB when everything else was just as good. is this still a sport? it's a myth.
I feel really sorry for S/H. missing one lift and then 16 points lower than their PB when everything else was just as good. is this still a sport? it's a myth.
I think they put the wrong pair up front for China's best team at this worlds, S/H should've been the top ranked team yesterday
Today I was finally able to watch (most of) the routines thru completely.
What I still don't get (a common problem btw) is why everybody thinks the program components for V&T vs. S&S are completely right. Skating skills and execution - ok on this night. Transitions one could discuss. But concerning choreography / composition / interpretation I have questions for V&T. What was this routine choreographed about? In general I'd say it is the usual ballet program to classical music as we know it for decades. Except the costumes and Maxim's fierce look at the end I can find no connection to the movie Black swan (if that was intended at all). Don't get me wrong, their ballet routine was skated very well and with lot of energy - and special kudos to their comeback after the sp. But in those parts of the components S&S should have way more points than V&T imho.
My only interpretation is that the judges do not judge according to their guidelines and still prefer the old style. But heck - I loved that style in the 80s with Gordeeva & Grinkov (still do) and I have to say I am glad that there are skaters and choreographers who notice that 30 years have passed. And V&T's sp is to modern music, but the choreography does not match it either for me.
This innovative approach in choreography is what I like about S&S's routines. And it seems to me that the judges have other intentions. One question: how old are they?
k/S skated so beautifully that I could hardly think that were them. this is the first time I really enjoy their skating. wish the m luck for next season. Just wow for that carry lift! the whole program cast a spell. now I consider them as first class skaters.
Hmm, I would have had the overall standings at this competition as:
01. Savchenko/Szolkowy (gutsy 3Axel attempt in the SP, completed decently enough, and a very strong LP even if not their best)
02. Volosozhar/Trankov (thought their LP was overscored but it was indeed the best and deserved to pull them up this far)
03. Takahashi/Tran (how nice to see them skate so well)
04. Duhamel/Radford (strong and pleasant all-around except for 1 mistake in each program, just not truly special in any regard)
05. Kavaguti/Smirnov (such a wonderful LP, they are a bit underscored on the PCS for this program as usual and judged a little too harshly in the SP)
06. Sui/Han (surprised to see them in 9th, the lift mistake obviously hurt a lot but I think their PCS were too low as a result of backlash against their overscoring at other competitions)
07. Pang/Tong (very overscored on reputation; they gave lackluster performances and made so many mistakes)
08. Bazarova/Larionov (a solid but unremarkable pair; made plenty of mistakes and got a Russian bonus)
09. Denney/Coughlin (ICK, ICK...but they do have good technical consistency)
10. Marley/Brubaker (there's talent here but they definitely need more consistency and a better suited LP)
I love S/H as well as D/R, as well as S/S more recently because they're trying something different. Quads, difficult single jumps, throw 3A and innovative choreography. Besides China already has another pair team more focused on skating skills in Yu/Jin, it'll provide some nice contrast.

Each spring before school lets out for the summer the two team up for training. The training is important for the responders to learn the layout of the school in the event of an emergency. Neal Peacock is the drama teacher at Emery High and the students are glad to help out as they play the parts of injured students and the role of the criminals in the event.
Peacock said, "This is an eye opening experience for the kids to see how good our SWAT teams are in the county. It amazes the kids how good these officers are at their job. It is a fun challenge to stump the officers and they look forward to it. In this scenario Devin Hales was a shooter and Colton Leavitt a hostage. There were several hostages on the stage. Shooters Ben Cox and Brittany Lofthouse were under the stage. There were four shooters in all. Dallin Lemon was in the storage loft and was found right away. The kids do a good job, we try to think up hard things and the Emergency Response Team handles it really well. All the students roles are drawn at random."
In this scenario it played out in the school auditorium where a shooter had taken hostages. The shooters hid in the auditorium until the rescuers and officers searched methodically until they were found. A staging area was set-up outside the school where the local Emergency Medical Technicians were on hand to evaluate the fake injuries. They set-up three areas for the varying degrees of injuries. EMTS were allowed into a secured area of the auditorium where they transported the victims out into the parking lot.
Sheriff LaMar Guymon said, "Training is so important for our sheriff's office and the other emergency management services. In a crisis it's so important to learn to work together to learn our roles and how we fit together. Training shows us how we can more fully meet the needs of each organization and clearly define the roles of each organization in an emergency. Our agencies work well together, but there is always room for improvement. These training exercises offer insight into where we can make improvements, adjustments, and they also let us know what is working. Overall we do very well together. I am thankful for the caliber of people we have in our emergency organizations. We have learned places where we have deficiencies and will work on those.
"These training exercises give everyone a new perspective on their roles in an emergency and the importance of each role. Everyone plays a vital part in these exercises. Working together is vital to our success," concluded Sheriff Guymon.

Occupational therapy - Definition
Occupational therapy is the art and science of enabling engagement in everyday living, through occupation; of enabling people to perform the occupations that foster health and well-being; and of enabling a just and inclusive society so that all people may participate to their potential in the daily occupations of life (Townsend& Polatajko, 2013, p. 380).
Occupational therapists are highly trained health-care professionals. Effective 2008, entry level education requirements in Canada include a professional Master's degree in occupational therapy.
Occupational therapists define an occupation as much more than a chosen career. Occupation refers to everything that people do during the course of everyday life. Each of us have many occupations that are essential to our health and well-being. Occupational therapists believe that occupations describe who you are and how you feel about yourself. A child, for example, might have occupations as a student, a playmate, a dancer and a table-setter.
Occupational therapists use a systematic approach based on evidence and professional reasoning to enable individuals, families, groups, communities, organizations, or populations to develop the means and opportunities to identify and engage in the occupations of life. This collaborative process involves assessing, planning, implementing, monitoring, modifying and evaluating the client in relation to occupational engagement in self-care, work, study, volunteerism and leisure. Occupational therapists use key enablement skills such as adaptation, advocacy, coaching, collaboration, consultation, coordination, designing/building, educating, engaging and specializing to enable occupation. Occupational therapists may assume different roles such as advising on; health risks in the workplace, safe driving for older adults, or programs to promote mental health for youth. Occupational therapists also perform functions as managers, researchers, program developers, educators, and practice scholars in addition to the direct delivery of professional services.
Practice Settings
Occupational therapists are generally employed in community agencies, health care organizations such as hospitals, chronic care facilities, rehabilitation centres and clinics, schools, social agencies, industry, or are self-employed. Some occupational therapists specialize in working with clients within a specific age group or disability such as those with arthritis, developmental coordination disorder, mental illness, or spinal cord injury.
Scope of Practice
Scope of practice for occupational therapy is determined by provincial acts. Please contact provincial regulatory body(ies) for more information. A full listing of provincial occupational therapy regulatory bodies can be found by clicking here.
CAOT has two important documents that may help therapists define your practice. The first document is the Profile of Occupational Therapy Practice in Canada (2012). The Profile of Occupational Therapy Practice in Canada reflects current evidence in the areas of competency and occupational therapy practice and integrates new information and models within a continuum of skills and knowledge needed by the occupational therapy workforce to meet health needs. The Profile identifies the seven main roles of occupational therapists as a/n:
- Expert in enabling occupation
- Communicator
- Collaborator
- Practice manager
- Change agent
- Scholarly practitioner and
- Professional
The second document to consult to define your practice is the latest set of guidelines for occupational therapy in Canada entitled, Enabling Occupation II: Advancing a Vision of Health, Well-being and Justice through Occupation, 2nd Ed. (Townsend & Polatajko, 2013). This text states that occupational therapy is necessary when engagement in the occupations of everyday living becomes a challenge and that there are five essential elements to occupational therapy (as an expert in enabling occupation). All five essential elements should be present in all occupational enablement practices in the direct delivery of professional services to qualify as occupational therapy. The essential elements of occupational therapy practice are:
- Presence of an occupational challenge
- Possibility of solutions that enable occupation
- Client–specific goals/challenges/solutions and client-centred enablement
- Multidisciplinary knowledge base
- A reasoning process that can deal with complexity

Mr. Frick's former office was demolished to make way for the Oval Room during the mansion's conversion to a museum between 1931 and 1935. An oval shape was chosen because, according to the architect John Russell Pope, "It could be creatively treated as a thing in itself, contrasting with the court's rectangle...."

Demolition of the elderly auction barn will not hamper the 2008 Utah State Junior Livestock Show. The stock show committee, under the direction of manager Clay Nielsen, moved events to other large buildings on the fair grounds. There is plenty of room for animals, and the planned show rings will be larger than before. Exhibitors will find the same high quality show experience they always have at Spanish Fork.
Judging and auction rings have been moved to a large indoor arena on the south east part of the grounds. Stalls and pens are in the vicinity of the arena.

Good Arch Support
"Tried this shoe on in the store and immediately noticed that it had good arch support. As a person with foot pain almost constantly, I decided to give the shoe a try. When wearing the sneakers, I don't have any pain in my arches or heels. It's a nice solid sneaker and the colors are fun. Fits true to size."

Fun colors!
"I bought these shoes because of the fun color combination and how comfortable they were. I don't wear Asics too often so I was surprised when I tried this shoe on in the store. I haven't had a chance to try these out on a wet pavement but all other trail experiences have been great. Wonderful shoe!"

First pair of Asics I didn't love
"I have always worn and loved Asics, but these are just not comfortable. The gray synthetic material comes up to far onto the top of the shoe, so when I bend my foot in the shoe (as I would when I would be running), the material kind of cuts into your foot and it's not comfortable. Also, the pink mesh material seems cheaper than that of my older Asics. I love the color, but I have to send these back :("

By MICHAEL SHANELogan
Dear Editor,
President Bush is pushing to pass the Free Trade Area of the Americas agreement. The President insists that the North American Free Trade Agreement was a grand success and should be expanded to include nearly all the nations of the Western Hemisphere. The FTAA could be voted on by Congress in April.
The FTAA is not about free trade, in spite of its deceptive name. It is really about a power grab for internationalists. It will erode our sovereignty and independence even further than NAFTA has. It will be a European Union stepchild.
If Congress passes the FTAA they will have given governmental authority to un-elected foreigners who will tell us what to do without any representation or control by U.S. citizens. They will issue orders to overrule our court judgments and laws of our nation. The FTAA is really about setting up a one-world government piece by piece. If the FTAA is passed we will lose our borders and about 500 million people living south of the U.S. will find it a lot easier to take up residence in the U.S. and take American jobs or even get on welfare, homes, loans, things we have given our lives for.
Moreover, more jobs will be lost. If they want to come let them come as contributing members of our society and become citizens as we all have. Pay taxes, vote, speak our language along with they own, etc. They are our brothers and sisters and we want them to come and be citizens along with us to continue to build this great land.
It doesn't matter what our politics are, President Bush is wrong here as well as our Congressmen. Americans should write and call their congressmen and urge them to reject the FTAA to keep the U.S. independent, free and sovereign. Get informed, study what the FTAA really is. Don't close our minds to our freedom.
