A KGB operation

The plot to foment Revolution in Mexico

Comment: Here's a final post with respect to the book "KGB".

The link points to a KGB operation told about in the book. History revisionism , per Wikipedia, has appeared to dispute that history. Whatever the ultimate truth of the matter, certain facts remain as inconvenient truth about communist sympathizers today---

The truth is that Mexico came within a hair of severing diplomatic relations with the USSR over a plot to turn Mexico into another Vietnam. Mexico expelled those who it considered responsible, and if the USSR responded by doing the same, the final step would have been to sever relations entirely. Mexico only had a handful of diplomats in Moscow at the time. Soviet retaliation for Mexico's actions would likely have result in the recall of the remaining Mexican diplomats, and that would have been tantamount to severing diplomatic relations.

Why would Mexico take such an action if it weren't true? As for the USSR itself, there were no regrets, as one of its leaders at the time said that they would continue to do the same kinds of things in the future. The time? This was in the late sixties. This was during a time in the USA of great civil disturbances-- and a War in Vietnam.

What is the point of this "ancient history"? If you are going to understand the present, it may help to understand the past. The communists know this full well, and it might explain the toppling of statues and rewriting of history itself. Instead of Mexico, they are targeting the Good 'ol USA. Our history is being rewritten. Our news is being slanted. Our elections are being stolen. That is a lot easier if our people are ignorant. That's the whole point.
