In 1973, Antony C. Sutton published a popularized, condensed version of the three volumes called National Suicide: Military Aid to the Soviet Union after which he was forced out of the Hoover Institution. His conclusion from his research on the issue was that the conflicts of the Cold War were not fought to restrain communism, since the United States, through financing the Soviet Union directly or indirectly armed both sides in at least Korea and Vietnam; rather, these wars were organised in order to generate multibillion-dollar armaments contracts. The update to this text, The Best Enemy Money Can Buy, looked at the role of technology transfers up to the 1980s. Appendix B of that text contained the text of his 1972 testimony before Subcommittee VII of the Platform Committee of the Republican Party where he summarized the essential aspects of his overall research: “ In a few words: there is no such thing as Soviet technology. Almost all — perhaps 90-95 percent — came directly or indirectly from the United States and its allies. In effect the United States and the NATO countries have built the Soviet Union. Its industrial and its military capabilities. This massive construction job has taken 50 years. Since the Revolution in 1917. It has been carried out through trade and the sale of plants, equipment and technical assistance ” Suttons next three major published books — Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler and Wall Street and FDR — detailed Wall Streets involvement in the Bolshevik Revolution (in order to destroy Russia as an economic competitor and turn it into a captive market and a technical colony to be exploited by a few high-powered American financiers and the corporations under their control) as well as its decisive contributions to the rise of Adolf Hitler and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose policies he assessed as being essentially the same, namely corporate socialism planned by the big corporations. Sutton concluded that this was all part of the economic power elites long-range program of nurturing collectivism and fostering corporate socialism in order to ensure monopoly acquisition of wealth, because it would fade away if it were exposed to the activity of a free market https://youtube/watch?v=xSVWXmZB1wc#t=390
