Recently,
I have been presenting evidence, from the work of the prodigious
researcher, Antony Sutton, that modern Russia was, to a significant
degree, established by Americans.
One---and
not the only---vector of Sutton’s work was: technology transfers from
the US to Russia. His proof was voluminous and specific.
The Russians needed lots of help. They were behind the curve.
Was
this help part of a conspiracy? I believe the answer is sometimes yes
and sometimes it was just business. Sales, money, profit, greed.
However,
during the Cold War, with Russia as America’s enemy, US companies
making money from supplying vital technology, which was used to build a
war machine in the USSR…we’re talking about deception, crime, traitorous
actions.
Today,
I just want to publish one of Sutton’s tables, naming the high points
of semi-conductor transfers. This vital tech enables the creation of a
modern military force.
Two
US companies are mentioned: Control Data Corporation (CDC---not the
public health agency) and Continental Trading Corp (CTC). CDC as such no
longer exists. I find several current companies with names that might
or might not be the CTC Sutton refers to.
Here is his devastating chart. It comes from his book, The Best Enemy Money Can Buy.
People
who are applauding the current wall to wall bashing of anything Russian
ought to know a little thing called history---especially hidden
history---counts, and tells its own story.
1951:
Semi-conductor developed in Santa Clara Valley, California. From this
point on Soviets import chips and then manufacture on a laboratory
scale.
1971: "Computer in a chip" development. Soviets still unable to mass produce even primitive semi-conductor devices.
1973:
Control Data Corporation (CDC) agrees to supply Soviets with a wide
range of scientific and engineering information including construction
and design of a large fast computer (75 to 100 million instructions per
second is fast even in 1985) and manufacturing techniques for
semi-conductors and associated technologies (See Chapter Five).
1977-80:
Soviets acquire technology for a semi-conductor plant through the
Bruchhausen network and Continental Trading Corp. (CTC). The CDC
agreement gives Soviets sufficient information to set up a purchasing
and espionage program. CDC told the Soviets what they needed to buy.
1981-82:
Commerce Department lax in enforcing export control regulations. U.S.
Customs Service makes determined efforts to stop export of
semi-conductor manufacturing equipment.
1985: Soviets establish plant for semi-conductor mass production. Soviet military equipment based on this new output.
1986:
U.S. taxpayer continues to support a defense budget of over $300
billion a year. Without these transfers Soviet military could not have
been computerised and U.S. defense budget reduced.
