forty one and stalin result in moscow would be defended and they would keep fighting. it was a church in some profound triclosan that the red army recovered from the initial crisis realized it was a battle for survival and what was at stake was not just a communist system but russia as a country and the soviet union was in the boardroom so it's not and it really did become a part true of it war it was an unusual time in the developed quite a lot during a time of conflict it's what do you think explains the marked difference in its effectiveness from say nine hundred forty one to for example the fact that stalin got in which is secured a stunning victory but of course the technical reasons that the red army in the midst of war is is retraining. and of course it's the worst possible time to do it but they are doing it and to give them credit this begins to make a difference they transferred their industry as they got them up and running and certainly by the end of stoning broad. and better equipped but the germans still fermentable and i believe their kids it was just th

postponed the invasion initially was i proved in my fifteen meanwhile stalin was desperately trying to delay it war until autumn with. breast fortress where the first assault was launched actually consisted of several forts situated on islands around the main fortification in the the eastern seaboard offered the most stubborn resistance. most of the fortress defenders still expected reinforcements down to the end they did know they were already well behind enemy lines germans has seized the town of brest within hours. abreast residents lived under occupation for nearly three years

and that was indeed what happened how unexpected was the invasion i mean hitler and stalin had signs the molotov ribbentrop pact making them allies on. easy allies of course but allies nonetheless they were allies and the soviet union was caught by surprise and this was stalin's great. stalin was not naive but he thought that germany would not attack in nineteen forty one he thought the attack would come late and he believed that he could use this product to develop the soviet union's and sphere of influence and at the same time. the right on me and trans industry is beyond your own mountains but in fact he got it very very badly wrong and of course the red army was course deeply unprepared in nine hundred forty one your book is about this is a human story behind the how did it develop militarily during the conflicts at the beginning of nine hundred forty one on the right i mean was how much. by the autumn of ninety four he wanted to last between two and three million tons of killed in this thing and captured it i think few of them is in the world could you sustain that level of puni

>> well, none of the files about the stalin disk are opened up at all. an anonymous... the only source i keep anonymous in my book is... >> jon: they don't admit that area 51 exists. our government does not admit there's an area 51. put up the picture of area 51. that's how big the damn thing is, and they say it doesn't exist. >> anyone... if you call up the air force, you can get them on the phone and ask them, and they'll tell you no comment or they won't say it exists. jon january let me just very quickly urge my audience tonight not to drunk dial the air force please. [laughter] you have no idea what that just unleashed on college campuses right now. there are going to be bombing raids at fraternity houses. nuke v.c.u. do you think we will ever quite understand the depth of our military research that has occurred at area 51? >> well, i write about programs that went on in the '50s and the '60 has the have been declassified, but the name "area 51" is always blacked out of the declassified documents. so who knows what is going on there '70s, '80s, '90s

brutal leadership tough leadership from stalin but it was nice. sorry to be tough and the autumn of nineteen forty one installed in result most would be de-funded and they would keep fighting but it was a. profound truth to see that the red army recovered from the initial crisis realized it was a battle for the survival and what was at stake was not just the communist system but russia as a country in the soviet union i was in the boardroom so it's not really did become a part of it will it was unusual time in the red army did develop quite so low during the time it comes to what do you think explains the marked difference in its effectiveness from say nine hundred forty one to for example the battle of stalingrad in which it secured a stunning victory one of course the technical reasons that the red army in the midst of war is retraining and. that's the worst possible time to do it but they are doing it and to give them credit this begins to make a difference they transfer their industry as they get them up and running and certainly by the end as

and certainly, i mean, roosevelt famously thought that his charm could, perhaps, manipulate stalin toome degree. i think he underestimated the degree to which stalin was psychopathic about things and impervious to the sort of charm that roosevelt could exert. um, but there's a lot of evidence if you look at roosevelt's correspondence, certainly, toward the end of the war that he was under no illusions about either stalin or soviet intentionings at the end of the war -- intentions at the end of the war. now, where that would have led, i mean, i tend to think the truman administration was the roosevelt administration as it would have proceeded. it certainly was many of the same people. um, so to answer your question, i think that roosevelt was, um, his thinking evolved a little bit in dealing with the soviet union. but i think on the whole he had no illusions about, about what the soviet, the nature of the soviet union, certainly stalin. >> thank you. >> sure. >> this is a country of immigrants. roosevelt family came early. they were in trade, china trade, international. it's a mindset,

stalin was already aware of the. february not a. problem was that the germans regularly postpone the. initially it was fifteen min while stalin was trying to delay war until autumn. where the first assault was launched actually consisted of several. islands around the main fortification in. the eastern seaboard offered the most stubborn resistance. most of the fortress defenders still expected reinforcements down to the end they did know they were already well behind enemy lines germans has seized the town of brest within hours. abreast residents lived under occupation for nearly three years when the germans came she was told that she was not. a second rate person. that. even public tell this in hospitals could not be used by everybody johns had decent food this were not so lucky. if they don't name every way you could see a sign saying. only oh i. know and. already during the first days of the war many people in breast and its environs started sneaking out of town. in the force of russia they form groups of guerrilla warfare. learn

their homeland four thousand mess he exiled by the stalin regime are scattered around the globe and even today are not made welcome in their ancestral land are dismissing a question of what takes up their story. as it turns out the scholar for land which carried across the world was an inviting everyone and entire people can make their way back to georgia the lines of their ancestors we heard him say we want to come back to our lands in this heart to georgia that's what we've been fighting for and dreaming of for many years there are some four hundred thousand people with a stream spread across the globe there have been left with no homelands mishaps interred so open this quarter past the twice deported people they were forcibly displaced first from georgia and then from was work is done and after almost seventy years of there are no magic existence their only hope now is that one day they will be able to return to their native words it was the stalin regime which deported over ninety thousand miss houghton turks to central asia in nine hundred forty four but they had to flee again after

anyway, but the interesting thing is that this lot is identical to what stalin used when he collected the soviet agriculture. what he argued that time was by extension of a classical argument by 19th century free market economists like david ricardo hard to look there are three groups in the society, there are the workers, the capitalists. landlords are the ones who accumulate capital to the capitol and economic growth and workers basically if you keep them in terms of wages they contribute so they don't invest. landlords despite having a lot of money they do not have the drive to blow this money on consumption so we have to concentrate in the investor on the capitalist plot. now, stalin has the argument for the collectivization was actually the logic entel and argued that at that moment all that could be invested in the soviet economy was and agriculture sector in the timing and therefore you have to mobilize that surplus in the sector. unfortunately, the landlords were not investing see you have to get the resources away from them by collectivizing and extracting the resource from t

stalin's murderous purges of senior colleagues in the communist party. in fact, just that past march one of the largest of the moscow show trials had taken place and ended with the executions of all 21 defendants. so newspapers in america piled on. the conservative chicago daily tribune wrote that if fdr succeeded in his own purge, the only people remaining in the democratic party would be hitler yemen or stalin communist. and another famous columnist announced that roosevelt resembled hitler because he was demanding absolute personal power and a purely nominal legislature. fdr's purge expedition started in early july, just two weeks after his fireside chat. he traveled comfortably in his own ten-car air-cooled train. eighty other passengers joined him onboard; secretaries, assistants, cooks, military aides, a few friends as well as radio engineers and announcers, newsreel cameramen, photographers and 30 reporters. more reporters traveled with him that summer than covered his 1936 re-election campaign. so during the summer of 1938 roosevelt's train zigza

according to my source, stalin wanted to achieve that.nside of the disk or humans who had been altered to resemble what the public perceives to be martians. according to my source, that terrific program, rather than being made public by truman, a decision came down from above that if the russians were doing this, this wicked science, the americans needed to do it, too. we could not fall behind the russians. that is upsetting. it was upsetting to learn about. it is upsetting to read about. i have interviewed this source. it has been over two years. i have spoken to him several times face to face. he stands by everything i wrote. i believe the reason he told me was because, of all his service to the country, this one program stands out as a travesty. he wanted to put that on the record before he died. tavis: despite the work you have done to bring area 51 to the best light we have seen in thus far, there can be a fine line between credible work and conspiracy theory. what say you? >> if you're asking whether i think my source of gave me inf

that in the last meeting that you have, there was a brief mention of a big possibility of de- stalinization, and now all of a sudden, we have got an action item that we will move forward, and the fact that not very many environmental groups are here is representative of the fact that this is coming as a surprise to us that this is moving today, and a lot of environmental groups, you have heard from clean water action and others, and other groups would want to weigh in on this. it is my view that desalinization is exactly the wrong strategy to deal with climate change and water problems. it is very similar with dealing with sea level rise and other problems with building levees instead of by doing what is being encouraged, which is a very extensive program of creating wetlands mitigation for water so that we are not battling with the addition, we are working with the ocean, and we are working with the bay, and i would just come back to what commissioner caen were in the pointed out very early in this meeting today in that where we need to be targeting our waters strategies is on storage. but

they were bitter rivals, and so stalin made a move, fired a shot over the bowels of to speak to say you may have the atomic bomb but i have psychological warfare and all over the world he wanted to send this disk to land in new mexico and have people come out that look like mexicans and the engineer told me that the results of gasoline human experience in the soviet union, and that is what he told me and i repeated in my book because i wrote to the uncensored history of area 51, and many people take umbrage with that. a couple guys in my book aren't happy about it and i understand why. we were saving the free lubold and no one likes to hear about this kind of ghastly going on in the desert that this is what my source told me. i found by his veracity and it's what i wrote in the book people are skeptical of it and at the same time want to know more about. >> let me ask one follow-up before you go to the next one. so, the reason than if it would panic the population for keeping it such a deep dark secret would have been what? >> the reason for keeping the program secret? >> keeping this p
