On D-Day and Reagan
Few of us might appreciate the fact that in the late 1980s
the old Soviet Empire did not delay its own apparent demise
with a nuclear first strike against the USA and a Blitzkrieg
overrunning Europe. If the Soviet Politburo had decided
to advance militarily, a second D-Day would have been necessary
to liberate Europe again. Off course this is premised on
the scenario that the USA would have survived the nuclear
exchange and garnered the will and industrial base to execute
such a huge military offensive as was operation Overlord
in WWII. Few in the West realized that the Soviet military
machine became increasingly ready to make the ultimate gamble
of achieving communism's aim of world dominion through military
means. Fortunately the Soviets didn't go to war. Those who
were prepared for that eventuality might have subsequently
doubted the reason for their preparations, though the adagio
'safe--not sorry' would have been more appropriate.
In stead of war the communists implemented
another plan.(1) This other agenda was
not of a military nature, but a flexible strategic retreat
in the face of President Reagan's intention to outspend,
face down and ultimately destroy the "Evil Empire."
Reagan intended to achieve these goals by means of a massive
military build-up, moving towards a defense against strategic
ballistic missiles (SDI or Star Wars) and capitalizing on
the achieved strategic advantages through diplomacy. Though
Reagan is now credited with having made some of the decisive
moves towards defeating communism by winning the Cold War,
this common perception has to be challenged in the light
of an alternative interpretation of events.
"Things aren't Clear in Eastern Europe"
Behind the facade of restructuring (perestroika),
opening up (glasnost) its system, and the 'letting
go' of its satellites, the inner core of the Soviet power
elite followed a different strategic plan, one that was
formulated and put in place in the late 50s.
"The genuine KGB defector Anatoly
Golitsyn has revealed that in 1958, Khrushchev summoned
the top leadership of the intelligence community to examine
alternative means of achieving the Soviet Party's aim of
dominating the world by methods other than nuclear war-an
encounter which gave rise to the momentous refurbishment
of revolutionary strategy referred to by Golitsyn as the
'long-range strategy' which has reached an advanced stage
of development under Gorbachev, Yeltsin and Putin (selected
by the strategic collective to front successive stages of
the strategy). The intelligence community reported that
they had so many agents and agents of influence in place
throughout the West that they could be deployed in a strategy
of global deception [Peter Wright, Spycatcher, Heinemann
Australia, 1987]. In Golitsyn's more precise terms, the
Party instructed the KGB to realise its full strategic revolutionary
potential, and mass two-way penetration of the Party and
the intelligence services then took place, to facilitate
this momentous development." (2)
It was already in the early 60s this plan
was revealed to the west by Anatoly Golitsyn.(3)
The plan was a classic instance of strategic deception,
of making one's adversary believe a plethora of false impressions
by which it would come to erroneous conclusions about the
intentions and capacity of its enemy and subsequently make
mistaken policy decisions favorable to its adversary.
Soviet expert John Lenczowski described the situation most
succinctly in a comment in the Los Angeles Times
in the late 80s under the title "Things aren't Clear
in Eastern Europe." It's worth presenting it in total:
"Could it be that we are seeing a replay of the Soviet
strategy of Brest-Litovsk? That 1918 gambit, in which the
soviets temporarily gave up territory to Germany to gain
time to consolidate power, has served ever since as a Leninist
model for tactical retreat before a renewed offensive.
It is argued that even if Moscow instigated the revolution
in Eastern Europe for whatever purposes, it has got out
of control. It is said that even if the Kremlin wanted a
gaggle of little Gorbachevs in the East, it could not have
wanted the crowds, the jeers, the anti-Communist placards.
Can the crowds be harnessed? The conventional wisdom in
the West is that they cannot. But how do we know this? What
do we know about the leaders of the various opposition groups?
In some countries, we know a lot; in others, very little.
We must remember that for 70 years the Kremlin has been
in the business of infiltrating opposition groups, even
creating them, so as to control the people who would be
attracted to them.
In 1984, the KGB defector Anatoli Golytsin
predicted a false liberalization in Eastern Europe and the
Soviet Union whose reforms would be so dazzling that the
West would be incapable of retaining a consensus in favor
of a strong defense. A deception of such magnitude is well
beyond the scope of the Western imagination. But so was
Moscow's "trust" operation in the 1920s, which
involved the creation of a false opposition and which succeeded
in deceiving 11 Western intelligence agencies for several
years.
We should wait and see how the chips fall. If all we are
seeing is a temporary, limited or false liberalization,
we may regret it if someday we awaken to an even greater
threat, and with no credible deterrent." (4)
The Communist Grand Strategy
The ultimate goal of the communist grand strategy is world
dominion, which can be achieved either through a) internal
revolutions, b) military conquest or c) a convergence, on
communist terms, of the capitalist and communist systems
into a world government. All three strategies are combined
in different ways dependent on the strategic need of the
hour. Within the context of the ultimate communist aim the
advantage of strategic deception is obvious. The more the
West is convinced of the communists' 'good' intentions and
its internal weaknesses and divisions, the more the West
might relax its strategic vigilance and even, unwittingly,
actively help it to achieve its aims.
The main components of the strategic deception are a) diverse
false internal splits within the communist bloc with the
false Sino-Soviet split being the most important one, b)
the creation of controlled internal political oppositions,
c) the ability to institute false liberalizations and d),
most importantly, the ability to keep this long-term strategic
plan secret.
The Alleged Sino-Soviet Split
The false Sino-Soviet split was one of
the first successful strategic deceptions out of which the
communist bloc gained enormous advantages. In the short
run it opened up China to the West as a 'strategic' anti-Soviet
partner. This made the Soviets look less strong and imposing,
which set the conditions for 'détente,' out of which
the Soviets got, besides an increased entrée into
the West, a lot of food, technology, credits and other useful
commodities. In the long run the Sino-American strategic
partnership enabled China to become a silent military and
industrial behemoth, even to the point of housing an ever-increasing
part of the industrial base of the capitalist world itself,
sustaining the largest standing army ever and penetrating
the West through economic fronts. (5)
Golitsyn best formulated the situation
in that "Communist China is not a strategic partner
but a concealed strategic enemy of the United States."
And while "China is a tactical, not a strategic
partner of the United States" it is at the same time
"a tactical, but not strategic 'enemy'
of the Soviet Union." (6)
Controlled Oppositions and False Liberalizations
The creation of controlled political oppositions
and the ability to institute false liberalizations went
hand in hand during the so-called 'velvet' revolutions in
the late 80s in Eastern Europe. After the Soviets retreated
from Eastern Europe, those countries were mostly taken over
by ex-communists and/or persons otherwise very close to
the old communist regimes. The same happened in the republics
comprising the former USSR. An analysis, nation by nation,
has to be done to see with what measure of success the new
parties and rulers are still part of the hidden structure
of controlled oppositions, especially in those former communist
countries that have recently joined NATO. (7)
It could be argued that the West's expansion eastward--absorbing
Eastern European countries into the European Union and NATO--was
a severe setback to the Sino-Russian long-term strategy.
These countries would have been purged of these deep communist
networks by its new non-communist governments. But did that
really occur? The communist grand strategy, at an intermediary
stage, aimed at the de-coupling of the USA and Europe, both
militarily and politically, and the dissolution
of NATO was a high-priority objective. They might have counted
on the fact that once the original raison d'être of
NATO--military defense against the expanding Soviet Empire--would
be perceived as non-existent anymore, the internal political
dynamics in Europe might call for the dissolution of NATO.
This scenario didn't happen. Nevertheless, given the West's
relative ignorance and blindness of the long-term Sino-Russian
strategy, the communist strategists will have turned the
set-back around and used the opportunity to have their East
European assets further burrow into the West's security
services and NATO itself. (8)
Secrecy and the long-term Strategic Plan
The reorganization of the KGB in the late 1950s boiled
down to changing it from a conventional espionage agency
into a flexible tool for long-term geo-political deception.
Three essential elements had to be put in place to make
the KGB into an effective strategic tool for deceiving the
West: 1) the KGB would now allow more contact between 'Soviet
sources of secrets' and Western intelligence services and
thereby opening channels of communication for disinformation
to flow. 2) The KGB would be split in an outer and inner
part. The outer part was made up of those agents that had
contacts with Western services and could be compromised
and therefore used as channels--mostly unbeknownst to themselves--for
disinformation. The inner part, supervised by the Politburo,
planned, orchestrated and evaluated the deceptions. 3) For
a very effective evaluation of its deceptions the KGB would
receive feedback from its many moles. In this way the KGB
could monitor the West's acceptance or suspicion of the
many pieces of disinformation fed into its system. The result
was a sophisticated apparatus capable of managing and fine-tuning
the perceptions of the West of Sino-Russian realities and
intentions. (9)
Unfortunately Western intelligence agencies,
especially the CIA, had a hard time coping with this level
of sophistication once it was revealed by Golitsyn. It had
a tendency to settle for a "single mind-set" about
KGB operations and thought it had the iron proof capability
to assess deceptions. Instead of creating an A and B team
approach, in which each team takes an opposite view, the
CIA in the end dumped the Golytsin line of analysis and
went into denial, from which it has not yet awoken. (10)
Interestingly, it was the Nixon White House, in its desire
to play the Chinese against the Soviets, which pressed for
this purge. It took the Sino-Soviet split for real and wanted
to exploit it by opening up to China. The
architect of this policy was Nixon's National Security Advisor
Dr. Henry Kissinger, who was either the most willing dupe
of Sino-Soviet deceptions, or, more probable, the best and
most productive agent of influence the Communists ever recruited,
developed and helped into the highest policy circles in
Washington, as was revealed by another important communist
defector, Michael Goliniewski. (11) Kissinger's
regular meetings with his friend, the Soviet Ambassador
to the US Anatoli Dobrynin, was the perfect setting for
giving the Soviets feedback on the success of their strategic
deceptions. He even helped the Soviets with advice on how
to negotiate arms control agreements more effectively.
The Fifth Column
The communist threat to the West is not a monolithic one,
by which the West can posture as the good guy and the communists
can be easily portrayed as the evil ones. And it is not
the case that the communists are only helped in the West
by members of local communist parties, fellow travelers,
sympathizers, useful idiots and some of its lucky moles.
The threat is more internal and deep than most would like
to acknowledge. The analysis of treasonous
elements in the West, helping the long-term designs of the
socialist/communist agenda, would not be complete without
an overview of the interlocking network of American think-thanks
and semi-secret societies with extensive ties with, and
sympathies for, the socialist agenda and its institutions.
(12) Without this part of the equation
the idea of a grand Sino-Russian strategic deception would
defy all imagination and probability. Only by assessing
the power and influence of this network can one get an idea
of the why and how of the success of the strategic Sino-Russian
deceptions. It is not without significance
that Kissinger rose to prominence through his work in the
Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a New York based bi-partisan
foreign policy think-tank. This organization is setting
the agenda for most of the long-term policies of the USA
and, through its control of the yearly Trilateral Commission
meetings and Bilderberg conferences, of Western Europe and
Japan as well. (13) It
is a front for the British Round Table network with its
Fabian Socialist agenda for domestic affairs and an imperial
interventionist agenda in foreign policy. (14)
The network was established by the imperialist Cecil Rhodes,
whose motto was, paraphrased, "socialism for the masses,
imperialism abroad." The CFR inherited
the management of the British/French/Dutch Empire when it
fell in American hands after WWII and is today the dominant
architect of the American Welfare/warfare State. (15)
Since its inception the CFR has been interlocked
with the very powerful Yale senior fraternity Skull &
Bones, of which Bush Sr., Bush Jr. and John Kerry are all
members. (16) It is
a chapter of a German secret society, which has not yet
been exposed, but educated guesses go toward Weishaupt's
Order of Illuminati, fountainhead of most of socialism's
ideas and conspiratorial modus operandi. (17)
A small influential sub-set of this network,
the Trotskyite Likudnik neo-conservative cabal, has taken
over the conservative movement and, within Bush II, many
of the levers of American state power. It tricked the USA
into this disastrous military adventure in Iraq thereby
creating more terrorists, alienating its allies, almost
bankrupting the US Treasury, subverting and demoralizing
the intelligence community and neglecting counter-intelligence
against Russian and Chinese penetrations. In short, creating
a far more dangerous security environment for the USA than
existed before Gulf War II. So far the only ones profiting
from this policy seem to be Iran, Israel and some politically
well connected corporations. While republicans can foam
at the mouth about anything liberal, they have a curious
blind spot for the presence of half-reformed ex-communists
amongst themselves. (18)
Where are we Now?
The big question now is about Russia itself and in what
way the old communist power elite is still in command. The
popular perception is that the Soviet Empire is gone, the
communists out of office, the internal security apparatus
dissolved, its army in tatters and the country reformed
along modern western lines with a free press, free markets,
freedom of religion etc. Apparently enough to refute the
Golitsyn line of analysis and relegate that to the status
of outdated Cold War paranoia. The reality is quite different.
The press, religious freedom and the Duma
do exist, but are effectively muzzled; the KGB, on its own
and also allied with the Russian Mafiya, is still very active
internally and worldwide (19); its
military-industrial complex producing ever more state of
the art ICBMs like the SS-27 and its military in a far less
sorry state than is believed (20); commercial
and military ties with China are expanding; and
its current president is a former KGB chief, Vladimir Putin,
nicknamed 'Little Andropov.' (21) In
short, there are plenty of signs that
the old communist forces of oppression and militarism made
an effective comeback after a temporary tactical retreat,
thereby making Golytsin something of a prophet rather than
a crackpot. (22)
Meanwhile China, a regional power with
global ambitions, looms on the horizon as the next big hostile
opponent to the USA in the coming Cold War II. Its steady,
even rapid, expansion in the fields of economic and military
power, intelligence gathering, alliances with organized
crime, friendship with Russia, are for many of great concern.
(23) Unfortunately, neither Reagan, nor
his successors, did sufficiently encompass the defeat of
the communists in China within their strategy. Despite all
trade and other 'engagements' with China since Nixon and
Kissinger cozied up to the proletarian dictators in Beijing,
the Chinese communists are not liberalizing politically.
On the contrary, the Tiananmen Square tragedy made that
quite clear. Beijing will not allow belatedly democratic
Hong Kong to infect the rest of China with 'bourgeois' Western
notions of human rights, rule of law and democracy. There
is no end to the outrageous human rights violations in Tibet.
But the trade goes on, now made easier by China's permanent
most-favored-nation (MFN) trading status and membership
in the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Closing Remarks
For lack of space and time this article has to leave out
issues like the communist involvement in international terrorism
and its implications for the West's war on terrorism; the
prospect of war between the West and a Sino-Russian combo;
the looming economic crisis and the ways that crisis could
be triggered and exploited by all the networks and forces
identified in this article; questions of epistemology, of
evidence and the hermeneutics of suspicion versus trust,
and many other philosophical issues; and the very important
esoteric angle of the equation, including the metaphysics
of evil. Hopefully at least the internal logic of a framework
of analysis has been presented in this article with which
recent world history and the daily news can be (re-)interpreted
along alternative lines. Suffice to say that the need of
the hour is preparation at the personal level and the emergence
of a robust constitutionalist anti-Marxist third party,
which could institute a sound domestic and foreign policy.

3) Anatoly Golitsyn's allegations were
taken seriously by many in the West's intelligence services,
especially by the CIA head of counterintelligence, the controversial
James Jesus Angleton. Many books, both sympathetic and hostile,
have been written analyzing his case. One of the best would
be Edward Jay Epstein's Deception: The Invisible War
between the KGB and the CIA (New York: Simon and Schuster,
1989) and Elizabeth Clare Prophet's Actions Speak Louder
than Words (Livingston, MT: S.U. Press, 1989). Golitsyn's
own two books are New Lies for Old: The Communist Strategy
for Deception and Disinformation (New York: Dodd, Mead
& Co., 1984) and The Perestroika Deception: Memoranda
to the Central Intelligence Agency (London & New
York: Edward Hale, 1995). An early rendering of the story
can be found in Wilderness of Mirrors (New York:
Ballantine Books, 1981 [1980]) by David C. Martin. A fictionalized
account of Golitsyn's defection and its effects on the Cuban
missile crisis and French intelligence came from Leon Uris
in the novel Topaz (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1967),
later made into a movie with the same title by Alfred Hitchcock.
Two books very critical of the Angleton-Golitsyn period
are Cold Warrior: James Jesus Angleton: The CIA's Master
Spy Hunter by Tom Mangold (New York: Touchstone, 1991)
and Molehunt: The Secret Search for Traitors that Shattered
the CIA by David Wise (New York: Random House, 1992).
Also worth mentioning is the clever interpretation of the
Golitsyn case and "mole hunt mess" by reporter
Ron Rosenbaum in his article "The Shadow of the Mole."
Originally published in Harper's in October 1983,
it can be found in Travels with Dr. Death (New York:
Penguin, 1991). His thesis is that Golitsyn's message itself
was one very sophisticated piece of misinformation that
subsequently wrecked the CIA in a phantom molehunt. [back

contrary to what you may have heard, China is not in the

using trade as a strategic steppingstone. Notion's of China's
self interest being tied to China-U.S. trade are deceptive.
China's political leaders want their country to become the
world's leading power. They resent American military dominance
and seek to undermine America's global position, using economic,
diplomatic as well as military means. China's trade with
America is a tool in a larger strategy that aims at America's
downfall. Failing to realize this, American policy toward
China has never been realistic."

there are people in the General Staff of the armed forces
and in the security structures who I had great disputes
with. Also among the counter-intelligence personnel there
are many who in the past held various important communist
posts, and are therefore absolutely untrustworthy. It has
to be said that this service is also infiltrated by former
agents of the Slovak intelligence service who are just waiting
for a favorable situation. Personally, I do not want to
"paint a devil on the wall," but those security
clearances that I know of and I am able to provide the evidence

and those who got such clearances by no means offer any

In 1973 he again brought the matter to the attention of
the British Security Service and American Intelligence since
Kissinger was no longer "unimportant," having

to find that Henry A. Kissinger was years ago identified
as a K.G.B. undercover agent, code-named Bor, assigned to
a Soviet spy ring called ODRA. Our intelligence agencies
were briefed on this as long ago as 1961 by an important
anti-Communist who had for years operated behind the Iron
Curtain at a high level of Communist intelligence and personally
saw Kissinger's K.G.B. dossier. The source of this information
supplied data resulting in the exposure and arrest of scores
of other K.G.B. agents planted high in the Governments of
Britain, Sweden, France, Germany, and Israel. He was formally
voted the thanks of the American people in a special Congressional
Resolution. Yet his detailed revelations about Kissinger
have been buried. And Henry A. Kissinger, who worked with
the Reds in Germany after World War II, now runs the U.S.
intelligence network from above." [back

12) In this context it is more accurate
to speak of an International Capitalist-Communist Conspiracy
(I.C.C.C.) as Elizabeth Clare Prophet has done in her many
lectures on the subject. See for example Mother's Manifesto
on SALT II: The Deliverers and the Destroyers of the People
in Peace and in War (Malibu, CA: Summit University Press,
1979); The Coming Revolution: The Alchemical Key: 1666
(Tape A7969); On the Manipulators of Capitalism and Communism,
(Tape A7938); The Psychology of Socialism/The KGB: Organized
Terror (Tape A7892); The Religious Philosophy of
Karl Marx/The Economic Philosophy of Jesus Christ (Tape
A7896). All are cassettes or cassette albums published by
Summit University Press. Jesus and Gautama commissioned
these manifestos on July 4, 1976 in Washington, D.C. "to
counter the lies put forth in Marx's Communist Manifesto."
(Pearls of Wisdom, Vol. 24, No. 12, March 22, 1981,
ftn. 32).
Though New Age spirituality can be quite nebulous, naïve
or outright deceptive in its thinking about Marxism and
communism, it has to be noted that Blavatsky, Krishnamurti
and Prophet are here on the same sane anti-Communist line.
Blavatsky stated about the Theosophical Society, that it
is "Unconcerned about politics; hostile to the insane
dreams of Socialism and of Communism, which it abhors-as
both are but disguised conspiracies of brutal force and
sluggishness against honest labour; the Society cares but
little about the outward human management of the material
world." ("What are the Theosophists?" in
The Theosophist, Vol. I, No. 1, October, 1879, pp.
5-7). Ingram Smith recounts a most interesting story about
a public discussion between Krishnamurti and Dr. N. M. Perera,
a communist, barrister and member of the Sri Lanka parliament.
The discussion was about communism, its take on human conditioning
and its authoritarian solutions. Krishnamurti made it clear
he would never submit to any totalitarian regime however
noble its idealistic aims might be. He would rather be a
martyr. [Ingram Smith The Transparent Mind: A Journey

is Rose L. Martin's Fabian Freeway: High Road to Socialism

Socialism is a non-revolutionary gradual form of socialism.
It works 'by stealth, secrecy and suaveness' in its 'penetration'
and 'permeation' of the political body of its host country
in order to promote its socialist agenda. The Fabian Society
was founded in 1884 in Great Britain and its American out-post,
the American Fabian League, in 1895. This organization was
"not planned as a mass organization. Its avowed purpose
was to unite all existing reform movements in America under
the leadership of individual Socialists, who in turn received
their instructions from a single Executive Committee."
(Martin, 139)

of Prof. Antony C. Sutton, who obtained its membership list
and had sources inside the fraternity: America's Secret
Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull &
Bones (Billings, Montana: Liberty House Press, 1986);
The Two Faces of George Bush (Dresden, NY: Wiswell
Ruffin, 1988). See also the more recent book by Alexandra
Robbins Secrets of the Tomb: Skull and Bones, the Ivy
League, and the Hidden Paths to Power (New York: Little,
Brown, 2002). Robbins book seems more apologetic than critical
and it doesn't mention the break-through investigations
by Sutton. See also an early article by Ron Rosenbaum "Last
Secrets of Skull and Bones" originally published in
Esquire (September, 1977), reprinted in Travels
with Dr. Death (New York: Penguin, 1991) and The
Secret Parts of Fortune: Three Decades of Intensive Investigations
and Edgy Enthusiasms (New York: Random House, 2000).

19) About the longevity of the KGB see:
I.The State Within a State: The KGB and Its Hold on
Russia--Past, Present, and Future by Yevgenia Albats
and Catherine Fitzpatrick (New York: Farrar Straus &
Giroux, 1994)
Quote from Publishers Weekly: "Albats, a Russian journalist
in Newsweek's Moscow bureau, argues that despite the breakup
of the Soviet Union, the KGB remains powerful. Drawing on
documents from state security files, interviews with former
secret police and her own journal, she maintains that the
KGB engineered the perestroika policy of the late 1980s
to reposition itself at the top of the infrastructure, then
choreographed the coup attempt of August 1991, which served
to entrench itself even more solidly. She holds out little
hope for democracy in Russia as long as the KGB-now known
as the Federal Counterintelligence Service-continues to
flourish. In this engrossing mix of first-person reportage
and lucid analysis, Albats shows the KGB as a political
institution operating in a legal vacuum with no checks or
balances."
II."Symposium: KGB Resurrection" by Jamie Glazov
FrontPageMagazine.com, April 30, 2004
http://www.frontpagemag.com/
Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=13210
Quote: "Despite the fall of communism in Russia more
than a decade ago, thousands of former KGB officers and
other members of the Soviet nomenklatura hold significant
positions of power in Russia today. The nation also appears
to be experiencing a process of re-Brezhnevization, which
is marked by the resurrection of the former secret police.
What is the significance of this phenomenon?" [back

20) See for example the two following
reports on Russian military hardware and strategic thinking,
and a very recent article on the superior state of Russian
fighters:
I. "2002-2006: The West's Growing Window of Vulnerability"
by Joel M. Skousen, editor World Affairs Brief
http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi/
noframes/read/15921
Quote: "One of the most egregious deceptions perpetrated
upon the public today is that Russian military might has
collapsed. Actually, Russia still presents a very real threat,
with a military that is continually being updated and strengthened.
However, to perpetrate the theory of their own military
weakness, Russia has removed from public view the major
portions of ongoing weapons modernization programs and allowed
Western arms control inspectors to see only old, outdated
weapons systems that Russia needs to replace anyway. Then,
feigning poverty, they have induced the West to pay for
the modernization. Never mind that Russia always seems to
have the funds to develop new and expensive high tech weapons
for sale to client rogue nations."
II. "The Bush-Putin Summit" by J. R. Nyquist
in Financial Sense Online, 11/12/2001
http://www.financialsense.com/stormwatch/geo/
pastanalysis/2001/1112.html
Quote: "Russian military and scientific experts have
long held that nuclear war does not signify the end of the
world, or the end of civilization. If the weapons are used
responsibly, damage can be limited to key military objectives.
"Random violence is anathema to the Soviet military
mind," noted Mark Miller, another leading U.S. researcher
and author of "Soviet Strategic Power and Doctrine."
… Yet American strategic policy is now influenced by
the view that nuclear war is a practical impossibility,
that nuclear war is a self-defeating proposition. Here is
an idea that leads to a double error. In the first place,
U.S. policy-makers dismiss the utility of nuclear arms;
in the second place they trust the Russians to honor arms
control agreements when the Russians have rarely done so
in the past, even in the post-Soviet era."
III. "Results of air exercise with India a 'wake-up
call' for US air force" in war.wire, reporting a story
from Agence France-Presse (June 23, 2004)
http://www.spacewar.com/2004/
040623210447.wil34maf.html
Quote: "A study of the 'Cope India' air exercise,
conducted by the US and Indian air forces in Gwalior, India
last February, is secret, said General Hal Hornburg, head
of the air force's Air Combat Command. … The Russian-made
SU-30s are reported to have bested the F-15s in a majority
of their engagements, much to the surprise of the organizers.
It was the first time the two top-of-the-line US and Russian-made
fighters have flown against each other in an exercise, an
air force spokeswoman said." [back to

21) "Putin: Ally or Terrorist?"
by William F. Jasper in The New American, Vol. 18,
No. 4, 2002.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1223098/posts
Quote: "Christopher Story has pointed out that Putin
was able to solve the terrorist bombings 'because they were
very simply provocations perpetrated by covert Soviet intelligence
operatives to provide Moscow with a pretext for an official
re-entry into Chechnya. I say 'official' because Russia
never really relinquished control when it supposedly left
in 1996.' Other analysts, investigators, and reporters around
the world have reached some of the same conclusions. Many
major mainstream media organs have acknowledged that the
Putin regime has produced no evidence substantiating that
Chechens were behind the Moscow bombings. Moreover, it has
been fairly widely reported that strong evidence indicates
that the FSB actually perpetrated the bombings. Many news
groups have reported that after the fourth major bombing
in September 1999, local police foiled a fifth bombing when
they arrested terrorists planting explosives in another
apartment complex. The terrorists turned out to be FSB agents."

22) "In his book Wedge: The
Secret War Between the FBI and CIA [Alfred Knopf, New
York, 1994], author Mark Riebling, who carried out a methodical
analysis of Golitsyn's predictions in New Lies for Old,
credited the Author with an 'accuracy of nearly 94%'. This
singular achievement put all other analysts, including some
official services, to shame; and it is precisely because
of this record of pin-point accuracy that Western Governments,
policymakers and even some intelligence services, whose
records bears little comparison with Golitsyn's, have competed
with one another over the years to find reasons why Golitsyn's
perceptive explanations of Soviet strategy should be ignored.
But events as they unfolded are relentlessly proving this
remarkable analyst of Soviet strategy to be right."
From the back cover of The Perestroika Deception
by Anatoliy Golitsyn.
For more recent analyses of the Sino-Soviet long-term strategy
see the work of Christopher Story. He is the current editor
of the London-based Soviet Analyst, which is described
as "the only publication that specialises in exposing
Moscow's continuing strategy, in close collaboration with
China, to consummate Lenin's World Communist Revolution.
In analysing Soviet deception strategy, Soviet Analyst
also necessarily exposes the stupidity and duplicity of
many collaborating Western Governments which have blindly
accepted Soviet lies about the collapse of Communism in
1989-91, as though it were genuine."
http://www.sovietanalyst.com/
He also was editor of The Perestroika Deception
by Anatoliy Golitsyn.
William F. Jasper, Senior Editor of The New American
interviewed him in 1995. This interview was reprinted in
Studies in Reformed Theology:
Part I. "Dispelling Disinformation" (Vol. 9,
No. 1, 1998)
http://reformed-theology.org/html/issue07/perestroika_01.htm
Part II. "Leninists Still Leading" (Vol. 9, No.
2, 1999)

Part III. "Red March to Global Tyranny" (Vol.
10, No. 1, 1999)

Another analyst who understood Golitsyn well is J.R. Nyquist.

23) A steady stream of books of differing
quality has hit the market since Clinton's Chinagate: Edward
Timperlake and William C. Triplett Year of the Rat: How
Bill Clinton Compromised U.S. Security for Chinese Cash
(Washington, D.C.: Regnery Publishing, 1998) and Red
Dragon Rising: Communist China's Military Threat to America
(Washington, D.C. Regnery Publishing 1999); Richard Bernstein
and Ross H. Munro The Coming Conflict With China
(New York: Knopf 1997); Bill Gertz The China Threat:
How The People's Republic Targets America (Washington,
D.C.: Regnery Publishing 2000); Steven W. Mosher Hegemon:
China's Plan to Dominate Asia and the World (San Francisco:
Encounter Books, 2000). A dissenting voice is from Gordon
Chang, who argues in his Coming Collapse of China
(New York: Random House, 2001), that the Chinese system
is so corrupt, inefficient and insolvent that it will collapse
in a matter of years.
"Update on the Threat from Russia and China"
by J.R. Nyquist for WorldNetDaily.com (March 2, 2000).
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=6424
Quote: "Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan, speaking
from Moscow last Tuesday, said that China might easily use
force to take over Taiwan. Russian Foreign Minister Igor
Ivanov verbally backed this statement, underlining the fact
that China is Russia's strategic partner. Chinese and Russian
leaders often talk of countering the supposed global domination
of the United States. It is noteworthy that Russian and
Chinese officials do not refer to America as the world's
only superpower. They only admit that America is "allegedly"
dominant. The truth might be that Russia and China are approaching
a position of global dominance."
"Beholden to Beijing" in The New American
(Vol. 20, No. 10, May 17, 2004) http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Beholden+to+Beijing.-a0117774246
Quote: "Foreign central banks, led by China and Japan,
now hold roughly $1 trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds and
bills - about a quarter of publicly held U.S. debt. China
is about to displace the U.S. as Japan's largest trading
partner. As Washington heedlessly piles up public debt,
and pursues a trade policy that results in an ever-growing
trade deficit, China's financial influence over our future
grows. It's not unreasonable to fear that someday, rather
than merely praying for China, our government will put us
in a position in which we will be forced to kneel to China."
For a good report on the use of organized crime by the
Chinese communists see "China Invasion" by William
Norman Grigg in The New American (Vol. 13, No. 18,
September 1, 1997)
Quote : "Beijing government is putting the finishing
touches on what crime reporter Frederic Dannen refers to
as "a cooperation pact between the triad societies
and the Communist Party ... a dreadful alliance between
the world's largest criminal underground and the world's
last great totalitarian power...." … In fact,
sub rosa collaboration with the Chinese underworld has been
a strategic tool of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since
the 1920s. "Chinese organized crime groups have always
been an integral part of the Red Chinese strategic apparatus,"
observes national security affairs consultant Joseph Douglass.
Dr. Douglass explained to THE NEW AMERICAN that "before
the revolution, the CCP used organized crime to subvert
Chinese society through drug trafficking and violence, and
it has continued to use the underground -- particularly
the triads -- to carry out similar activities on a global
scale, including within the U.S." [back
