    OK, this is what I don’t get....

    1. The Illuminati follow the Hegelian dialectic. This means that they control all of the possible outcomes of a situation. It means that they also control all the answers to a question.

    2. With that said. Why wouldn’t they control what is 'leaked' to people like Alex Jones?

    3. 1984 demonstrated this concept with the Book that defined the resistance. It turns out this revolutionary document was actually written by the Secret Police and used to trap opponents to the established regime.

    4. The Internet was built by military intelligence and the basic infrastructure is still maintained by Public Institutions.

    5. Alex could be good or bad. It doesn’t matter. What matters is where the information originates.

    I have definitely upset the PTB: see- http://www.farmersinsurancegroupsucks.com/forum/read.php?5,89 and they have made d*** sure that I don’t make a penny from any of my ventures....

    http://www.moneyteachers.org and http://moneywisdom.blogspot.com.

    They use trojans and mirror sites. I use Access Me and Numerous other programs so they are easily detected. I am what happens to true 'dissidents' in America. Yet, the media (internet and otherwise) continues to ignore the story.

    Why isn’t this happening to the voices of dissent elsewhere?

    You should change the tag of this presentation from 'urss' to commonly used 'ussr' to make it easier to find.

    The Rise of Joseph Stalin: “The Grey Blur”
  3. “ Socialism in One Country”
    • Stalin argued for a position that came to be called “socialism in one country”
    • Without abandoning the global revolutionary vision of Lenin, Stalin insisted that world revolution was out of the question for present
    • Their duty was to create a strong socialist state, capable of defending itself against counterrevolutionaries
  4. “ Socialism in One Country”
    • Stalin’s economic policies involved total state control
    • Political leaders identify the countries economic needs and determines how to fulfill them
    • To modernize the Soviet state, Stalin ushered in revolutions in industry and agriculture
  5. “ Socialism in One Country”
    • “ We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in ten years. Either we do it or we shall be crushed” – Stalin
  6. Industrial Revolution
    • In 1926 Stalin outlined the first of several Five-Year Plans for the development of the Soviet economy
    • Officials chose the workers, assigned them jobs, and determined their working hours and wages
    • The secret police would imprison or execute those who did not contribute to to the Soviet economy
    • Produced fantastic economic results – by late 1930s the USSR was the world’s 3rd leading industrial power, behind the US and Germany
  7. Agricultural Revolution
    • Stalin’s agricultural revolution was also successful–and far more brutal–than his industrial revolution
    • In 1928 government seized over 25 million privately owned farms in the USSR
    • Combined them into large, government-owned farms called collective farms
    • Stalin used terror and violence to force peasants to work on the collectives
    • Between 5 and 10 million peasants died as a result of Stalin’s agricultural policies
    • However, by 1938 more than 90% of all peasants lived on collective farms and the country had produced almost twice the wheat than it had in 1928

    The Terror
  8. A worker who bungled a job, such as allowing a faulty transmission to pass through an assembly line was considered to have wrecked “socialist property.” This was considered sabotage and punishable by death. 5 years forced labor was considered a light sentence: What is your sentence? 25 years For what? nothing You’re lying—in our country for nothing they only give you 5 years! Poetess Tanya Khodekevich was sentenced to 10 years for writing, “you can pray freely, but just so only God can hear” The Terror
  9. Indoctrination and Propaganda
    • Despite having millions of Russians killed, Stalin tried to create a myth that he was the country’s father and savior
    • Stalin relied on indoctrination = instruction in the government’s set or beliefs–to mold people’s minds and propaganda = biased or incomplete information used to sway people to accept certain beliefs or actions
    • Soviet newspapers, radio broadcasts, and art (socialist realism) used to praise Stalin, Soviet life, and Communist values
    • Stalin also falsified history itself through censorship and manipulation of photos and video to project a positive image of himself and the nation

  15. Reaction to “The Great Terror”
    • Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975)
    • Both as a composer and a human being felt very keenly the painful moral and artistic dilemmas of living and working in a totalitarian state
    • Used six of his symphonies–the sixth through the ninth to express his dissatisfaction with the regime, his sense of individual and aesthetic entrapment, and his sympathy for the millions of men and women repressed by the state
    • In Shostakovich’s own works, these symphonies are “tombstones for the victims of Stalin”
  16. Full Circle...
