A Cold War Timetable

the SCO is aligned with china and russia. pakistan is a puppet regime of the US/wall street powers. the hegelian dialectic is the process by which both sides are controlled from above, creating a false opposition. for instance, in america, you both the REPUBLICANS and DEMOCRATS. they seem to be opposites, but upon closer inspection, we see that they are both on the same side, that of the GLOBALISTS. or we can take the example of the COLD WAR. the US and USSR were both funded by wall street, as demonstrated in the works of professor anthony sutton.----- Original Message ----- From: Zaffarullah Rajpoot To: cia-drugs@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, May 20, 2006 1:02 AM Subject: Re: [cia-drugs] Iran: Russia, China drift toward USDo u really have some resons why Pakistan will not join SCO?
