...crafty trick," and in Paris both Hanoi and N.L.F. negotiators heaped scorn on Thieu's offer. For all the obloquy, however, no spokesman for either group flatly refused the offer of private talks, and Western sources privately described the statements as a matter of routine propaganda, entered for the record before the real talks begin in secret-if they have not already...
...kidnaping. Otto John, head of Germany's BFV-a counterespionage organization devoted to maintaining political order in West Germany-was either kidnaped or "defected" to East Germany in 1954. Walter Linse, head of Germany's League of Free Jurists (UFJ)-one of the "main instruments of Western propaganda policy, guiding and directing anti-Soviet forces in East Germany"-was abducted in front of a witness in 1952.

And while the end of Hour left us with nothing but cold fear...
Perfect Pretext. Against the backdrop of military preparedness, the Soviets began an ominous propaganda campaign that seemed aimed at crippling West Berlin's economy. The Soviet government announced that it had requested the East Germans to use whatever measures were necessary to halt what it claimed was the flow of military products from West Berlin to West Germany. That announcement was followed up by a Pravda article that listed a large number of Berlin-made products, chiefly optical and electrical equipment, that the Soviets claimed were used by the West German armed forces...
