So, Did the GRU and KGB Fund Anti-War Movements During the Vietnam War? Da!!

On page 78 of Stanislav Lunev's and Ira Winkler's book titled "Through the Eyes of the Enemy", is one of the most revealing bits of information concerning the duping of American peace activists. Should note that Stanislav Lunev was Russia's highest ranking Soviet Military defector. Since this book is rarely found in brick and mortar bookstores, and as far as I can see, its passages are nowhere on the Internet, I present page 78 in hopes it will reach a new, fresh set of eyes:

"Only in our second year did we learn about our operational target's military. In my case, it was the Chinese People's Liberation Army and Special Services. This was while the United States was pulling out of Vietnam. We spent a great deal of time studying the Vietnam War, which was considered a Vietnamese victory over American imperialism. While the GRU instructors would not state it directly, they strongly implied that the GRU was responsible for the Vietnamese success. The GRU had a massive presence in both North and South Vietnam; their operatives worked under cover of the North Vietnamese Special Services.
Our instructors also told us about how the GRU influenced the American public. The GRU and the KGB helped to fund just about every antiwar movement and organization in America and abroad. Funding was provided via undercover operatives or front organizations. These would fund another group that in turn would fund student organizations. The GRU also helped Vietnam fund its propaganda campaign as a whole.
What will be a great surprise to the American people is that the GRU and KGB had a larger budget for antiwar propaganda in the United States that it did for economic and military support of the Vietnamese. The antiwar propaganda cost the GRU more than $1 billion, but as history shows, it was a hugely successful campaign and well worth the cost. The antiwar sentiment created an incredible momentum that greatly weakened the U.S. military."



Now, call me crazy but in essence, the peace movement was in large part nothing but a ruse and indeed sounds conspiratorial. Be that as it may, this reminds me a great axiomatic statement: the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist. There is no doubt in my mind that new anti-war sentiments were in part funded by those, who do not have America's interests at heart. World Worker's Party, A.N.S.W.E.R, Scott Ritter? Sound familiar guys?
