Catherine Austin Fitts on C2C with Richard Syrett,

January 25, 2020.

Thanks to John Frink: "Catherine Austin Fitts says the Lee Wanta story is a fairy tale."

First half: Lee Wanta was President Reagan's secret agent who masterminded a creative way to financially take down the economy of the Soviet Union and put together and negotiated an agreement with Secretary General Mikhail Gorbachev. Lee Wanta will discuss, along with Lon Gibby (filmmaker and director of a documentary about Wanta) how President Reagan brought about the fall of the Soviet Union and ended the Cold War without firing a shot, along with new information presented in the now released new documentary about Wanta's life.

ELANA: I agree with Catherine, though I wouldn't besmirch the fairy tale: It was the usual American disinformation. The book that convinced me of a more credible story regarding the end of the Soviet Union was Swedish (originally Estonian) writer Juri Lena's Under the Sign of the Scorpion: The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Empire (Stockholm, 1998). When the Soviet Union fell, Yuri traveled immediately to Russia because the official archives were opened. This is THE book. Bolsheviks = Zionists
