Joel Skousen writes in World Affairs Brief, December 9, 2022 (http://www.worldaffairsbrief.com):
Found: Video of Christopher Storey Interview on Phony Fall of the Soviet Union: Storey of Great Britain was the only other person to expose the phony fall besides myself. Here is the excellent interview by William McIlhaney (Pronounced, Mac-il-Haney). The interview concentrates on Anatoliy Golitsyn’s two books, “New Lies for Old” and his follow up work, “the Perestroika Deception” predicting the phony fall, rather than the evidence of planned deception as I have cataloged. The latter book was essentially his extensive briefing to the CIA which they did nothing about—helping the Soviets cover for their fake demise in order to get aid and trade.
The Fake Break up of The Soviet Union, Anatoliy Golitsyn New Lies for Old part 1
May 13, 2022
Anatoliy Golitsyn was an ex-KGB officer who spent 15 years in Soviet intelligence work, which put him in contact with high-ranking Soviet officials. He defected to the West in 1961. Golitsyn wrote two books that outline in painstaking detail the Soviet’s “grand strategy” against the West and the non-communist Third World: New Lies for Old (1984) and The Perestroika Deception (1995).
What makes Anatoliy Golitsyn stand out is the uncanny accuracy of his predictions. Mark Riebling wrote in his spy book Wedge: The Secret War between the FBI and the CIA, of Golitsyn’s falsifiable predictions, 139 out of 148 were fulfilled by the end of 1993—an accuracy rate of 94 percent.”
Further warnings Golitsyn tried to impart to the West in the 1960s included his predictions that the Berlin Wall would come down, East and West Germany would be reunited, and the Warsaw Pact would be dissolved. The goal of all these tactics was to create a “neutral, socialized Europe.” All of these predictions have come to pass. We now see a “neutral, socialized Europe” in the form of the European Union (EU). Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovsky once referred to the EU as the “pale version of the Soviet Union.”
One of the most important revelations by Golitsyn had to do with the Sino-Soviet split. For many years there has been a widely accepted belief in the West that there was a serious rift between Red China and the Soviet Union. Billions of dollars in massive U.S. aid programs were poured into the USSR in an effort to exasperate and prolong the so-called Sino-Soviet split.
According to information provided by another defector Jan Sejna, KGB General Mironov’s subcommittee recommended the following long-range deception operations, requiring the accomplishment of several tasks:
(1) Penetrate the intelligence services of the West with “moles”; Convince Western intelligence services of the authenticity of fake intelligence offered by “dangles” and thereby gain promotions for “purveyors of a false disarming narrative” by penetration agents who will inevitably become the leading figures in Western intelligence;
(2) while taking control of the intelligence game on the ground, promote the idea that “ideology is dead” in the communist bloc;
(3) promote the idea of an “ideological” split between Moscow and Beijing so that the West will “play the China card”; that is, blindly rush in and build China into an industrial and technological giant to counter the USSR;
(4) promote fake dissident groups and dissident celebrities in the Soviet Union and its satellites;
(5) establish controlled opposition movements in bloc countries;
(6) prepare to organize, through agents in the dissident movements, anti-communist revolutions throughout bloc
(7) promote the idea that a future Soviet leader is, in fact, a “liberal reformer”;
(8) break up the Warsaw Pact and collapse the Soviet Union in a “controlled” fashion;
(9) groom stealth communists as candidates for high office in America and Western Europe. These would present themselves as “moderates,” but would operate as “penetration” agents dedicated to facilitating critical aspects of the strategy; namely, economic sabotage and reduction or diversion of U.S. military resources.
(10) the communist bloc’s military, industrial and diplomatic efforts would meet with success only if the West could be persuaded that communism had “collapsed” in the Soviet sphere. This part of the “long-range strategy” required a reorganization of the KGB into an “outer” shell of personnel, having no knowledge of the strategy or its directing principles, and an highly secretive “inner” KGB responsible for organizing serial deceptions.

MIKHAIL GORBACHEV’s speech at the 70th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution (1987):
“… In October 1917, we parted with the old world, rejecting it once and for all. We are moving toward a new world, a world of Communism. We shall never turn off that road.”
And from his speech to the Soviet Politburo, November 1987:
“Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about Glasnost and Perestroika and democracy in the coming years. These are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal changes in the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep. We want to accomplish three things: One, we want the Americans to withdraw conventional forces from Europe. Two, we want them to withdraw nuclear forces from Europe. Three, we want the Americans to stop proceeding with Strategic Defense Initiative.”
