armand hammer

[sledovatel]

has anyone heard much about the story of the monopolistic capitalist armand hammer? if so, could you please explain the connection between him, lenin, and communist ussr? i find it rather strange that the two seemingly opposing forces worked so closely together. could it be that monopolists and communists are together in the grand scheme of things?

I know that the Gore family has very close ties with him. Al Gore Sr. was a senator who was acted as middleman for armand hammer who supplied the USSR with weapons and intel from the US. Al Gore Jr., the one we are all familiar with, did an internship with him, and I'm pretty sure got most of his campaign contributions from Mr. Hammer's estate. Either way, an extremely corrupt capitalist. He makes Dick Cheney look like Lech Walesa or Alexander Dubcek. He's one of the main reasons that Al Gore can't be trusted, gore is very deep inside this oilman's pocket.
