And if not for that same faction organizing all this there would have been no peace marches in the South and we would still have segregated schools, neighborhoods, restaurants, drinking fountains, etc.

The first large scale desegregation of schools in the U.S. as well as the first affirmative action program was initiated by Richard Nixon, not by peace-protesters.

Then all we had to do was be patient? Those marches and protests served no other purpose than to disrupt our nation, I suppose. Much ado about nothing.

IMO MLK was genuine but the forces surrounding the expanded situation were nefarious in nature. Many had suspicions and theories that the Soviets were behind such activities. This doesn't surprise me. However, I feel that the era in question would have taken place irregardless of the Soviets participation and that the Soviets were along for the ride not the cause. This period in US history and consciousness was coming to pass in any case.

I dont know the answers to those questions. I am just laying out the facts as they stand. I have no problem with the peace movement as such. I do have a problem with the peace-movement cynically being used as a tool.
Also, the U.S. was not quite as backward and horrible was claimed.

I would take at least that second source with a planet-sized chunk of salt. It's a David Duke/Stormfront production.

Oops, replied to you by mistake. The post above yours with the martinlutherkingdotorg link was the one I meant.

In case you weren't around for it let me assure you that up through the mid-60's we were still quite backwards in many ways. It may, then, be hard to appreciate how much we have changed.

So if I believe in that possibility would that make me delusional, a realist, paranoid, overzealous patriot or a conspiracist?

One theory I was kicking around for a while was the idea that martyrs were created for the peace movement as a way of securing it as the 'one true way' to effect change.

Flash forward to today... What do you think of the possibility that China, and Chinese covert cyber-intelligence are actually behind the "Anonymous" group, and affiliates, and other forms of "resistance", anti-corporate and anti-government/establishment movements? And they have likely been at this in one form or another over the last 25+ years?

See i do not buy into this whole commie-usa backed secret kgb-cia conflict.
Truth be told the Rothschild families took out Nicholas II and his whole family in Russia, then installed Stalin. Then in 1913 with the Federal Reserve Act by Wilson they moved to appoint their own men into government. Yes there was indeed a winding up of war, because war is money, but to say one side would annihalate the other is insanity.
