Could you please shed some light on the alleged involvement of the Stalinist poet Pablo Neruda in the first assassination attempt on Leon Trotsky? Thanks!

Neruda was chief Chilean diplomat in Mexico City in the summer of 1940. After the failed assassination attempt by Stalinist David Sisqueiros on Trotsky, Neruda provided Sisqueiros with a visa to Chile where the would-be assassin took up residence in Neruda;s house.

I don't know much about David North but a number of writers speak with praise for North's scathing review of a rather recent biography of Trotsky by a professional LIAR named Service. One article was titled: " The Re-Assassination of Leon Trotsky ". I want to re-read all these articles as soon as possible. Any videos available of North's most informative lectures ?
I recall browsing this Service biography of Trotsky in a public library a few years ago. I am too old now to be very partisan except for the TRUTH. That book SMELLED of the class enemy. Leon Trotsky was a revolutionary titan . That much is true.

Ron, welcome to the international website of the movement which has fought to keep Trotskyism (revolutionary Marxism) principled, theoretically growing, and relevant. This movement is now, in the midst of unsolvable capitalist crisis and decay, working towards being poised to facilitate the necessary political and social struggle leading to a return to humanity's survival and progress. But it's going to take monumental struggle, financial support, and growth to bring this about.
The lecture last evening in Berkeley was riveting. D. North gave a clear and concise history of the reasons Stalin loathed and feared Leon Trotsky and sent his agents out to murder not only Trotsly, but all of the leaders of the Left Opposition (after he had slaughtered all the Bolshevik revolutionaries in his great purges of the 1930s). North displayed the evidence to back up the unrelenting conspiracy to remove Trotsky from the planet. And the coverup continued even after Trotsky's death. It continues to this day. A most enlightening presentation that gives John LeCarre a run for his money -- except that, in the case of the murder of Trotsky, it is all true.
