I Am a Tiny Commoner: Chen Boda and the 'Cultural Revolution' (IV)

Chen Boda launched a counter-revolutionary coup for Lin Biao, implemented two anti-Party programs, privately drafted constitutional provisions for 'establishing a State Chairman,' concocted materials on 'claiming genius,' revised Lin Biao's anti-Party speech of August 23rd, and created and spread five major lies. A large number of facts prove that Chen Boda was one of the main culprits of this counter-revolutionary coup. Chen Boda is a counter-revolutionary double-dealing political swindler. For a long time, he tried his best to disguise himself, using rumors and sophistry to deceive the Party and the masses."
