| − | ::::::::2005 is well into the CIA's rebirth during the War on Terror, after Moynihan's death, before the Patriot Amendments of 2006 which Comey/McCabe/Strzok used to spy on Donald Trump and [[Merrick Garland]] now is using in the [[War on Parents]], and before CIA torture was exposed. So the commie front, Carnegie Endowment (which [[Alger Hiss]] headed, made a strong case for its abolition just a few short years ago. My guess is, those racists didn't imagine a Black man could be elected president a few years later, and communists could finally flip the tables on their enemies.

| | ::::::Every year the CIA made assessments of the Soviet economy (cause the communists never published official figures). They said year after year for decades that the USSR GDP was roughly half of US GDP, and spent twice as much on defense, which was called "parity" in arms negotiations. Today, as it turns out. the Russian Federation total annual budget equals about what the U.S. federal government spends in 3 days (figure Russian defense spending is probably less than 25% of its total government budget. That would equal about what our federal government spends on everything in 18 hours.) Let's look at propaganda: NBC News alone (not counting CNN, CBS, Reuters, AP, etc) spends more on global operations than the Russian Foreign Ministry for its entire operations worldwide. | | ::::::Every year the CIA made assessments of the Soviet economy (cause the communists never published official figures).
