The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 247
The U.S. Provides Military Aid To The Soviets
During WWII the US gave priority to the Soviet front over all other American and Allied
fronts. Under a program called Lend-Lease, the Americans supplied the Soviets a vast amount of
arms to numerous to list but major components included: 14,018 aircraft; 98,220 submachine
guns; 466,968 individual vehicles including 4,700 tanks, 4,957 medium tanks, 1,239 light tanks
and various other self-propelled guns, half-tracks, armored cars, trucks, jeeps, and track laying
tractors. Munitions, explosives communications equipment were included along with
construction equipment valued at $10 million. 491 Naval ships were provided. Equipment was
provided to increase gasoline production by 1,400%. Under the Lend-Lease program one-third of
the industrial supplies were for post war construction in Russia. The supplies continued to flow
to Russia after the war up to the end of 1946 under twenty- year credit terms of 2 3/8 percent
interest a far better interest rate than returning GIs could obtain.

Under the Lend Lease Program only military goods could be shipped to the Soviets.
Sutton states that this law was violated and that Lend Lease records document it. He says that
industrial equipment in extraordinary amounts was also shipped.

In addition to this, the US
gave the Russians engraving plates, paper, and ink with which to print the occupational
currency. During the occupation of Berlin, Russian troops were paid with this paper money,
ultimately redeemed by the United States.

Essentially, this means that the U.S paid the
Russian troops who occupied Berlin and Eastern Europe.
The US donated to the Russians two food production facilities costing nearly $7 million,
a petroleum refinery costing over $29 million, a repair plant for precision instruments costing a
half million dollars and 20 electric plants costing $273 million. Seventeen of these electric plants
were steam driven and three were hydroelectric.

Skoda Works in Czechoslvakia was the largest outside military contractor to the Soviet
Union. Skoda produced everything from small arms to MiG-21s. Skoda also produced a joint
line of heavy-duty industrial machine tools with Simmons Machine Tool Corporation of Albany,
New York. Simmons was an old, well established company specializing in the design of large
automatic and numerically controlled special-purpose machine tools and thereby the Soviets via
Skoda had direct access to the most advanced US technology.

Accelerometers are small vital instruments used in missiles and aircraft to measure the
gravitational pull. When the Soviets were unable to obtain them from the US, they sent a Soviet
scientist to the US. This scientist entered through the State Departments Academic Exchange
Program in 1967. He came to study the manufacturing methods of equipment to measure small
accelerations and displacements. This is the study of the manufacturing methods for the
accelerometers that the Soviets were unable to obtain form the US. Accelerometers were vital to
their nuclear missiles program.

Trading With The Enemy
During the Vietnam War the US maintained trade with Russia. Trade was maintained
despite the fact Russia was supplying the North Vietnamese with 80% of their supplies including
Arms. Russia also claimed credit for the downing of 4,018 US planes during the Vietnam War.
During this same period, US firms built the Kama River Truck plant in Russia and the Volgograd
