Absolutely correct deduction of the times! The US supported masonic initiatives and neo-pagan forms of parapsychology which gave the Soviet Union an edge, since Stalin combined occultism with masonic visions of the Apocalypse. Why? Because once when he visited the opera The Magic Flute, he became so impressed with the hidden meaning of occultic symbolism, that he used masonic subconscience excercises to increase his personal power and weaken the Soviet people by subjecting their will to his mighty plan for a one world government led by FDR and Iosif Vissarionovich. Since this plan went so smoothly, the US followed it up with a scheme known as the Marshall plan, drawn up to promote masonic interests in the far east. Unfortunately the masons were slow on the uptake, and the japanese filled the void so successfully themselves that western consultatants were short shrifted out of Japan during the 1950's and Japanese managed to control and promote their own affairs. The same cannot be said of Russia, as Hammer was such a totally pervasive influence on Russian-American interests that Stalin Brezhnev could do nothing but promote Dobrynin to counteract Hammer's game over in the good ol' US of A.
