Mr. Brand, Thanks so much for your additional info and sites for further reading.

I reached the conclusion a while ago that everything bad has really come from the Soviets/Russians. They have created such havoc in the modern world including the Islamist upheaval with their 1979 invasion of Afghanistan, Iran, grooming Arafat and creating the PLO/Palestine 'people', and all in the name of their chess game with the USA. It is mind boggling to think of the cause and effects of their actions decades ago.

I would love to hear more about your experiences...
