                                 By J. Adams


                                January, 1995

                    I will follow in Hitler's footsteps."

                                 -The Crash-


    As I have  been  recently  warning,  based  upon  a  form  of  long-wave


analysis,  an historically unprecedented "crash" is looming (contact Elliott


Wave International at 1-800-336-1618 for more information).  In  seeking  to


discern what could be the source of this crash and,  in turn, dramatic upset


of popular expectations,  I experienced some supernatural hints that led  me


to  conclude  Russia  is  planning  a  surprise attack against the West.  As


spelled out in my November article, 'A Global War?',  I believe this war may


begin  with a bogus Zhirinovsky coup in Moscow.  Recent developments suggest


that such a coup might now be imminent.








                        -The Zhirinovsky Connection-





    I  have  been tracking Vladimir Zhirinovsky for well over two years now.


In a paper I wrote in early December  of  1993,  entitled  'The  Zhirinovsky


Connection',   I   specifically  predicted  his  party  would  win  Russia's


parliamentary elections since I expected the elections to  be  rigged  ('The


Zhirinovsky  Connection'  and two related articles are being sent along with


this paper).  According to the Zhirinovsky connection, Moscow is planning to


throw a bogus Zhirinovsky coup in order to open  the  way  for  launching  a


third world war against the West.








                -Chechnya & The Coming Russian Military Coup-





                 "There is great danger of a military coup."





                               (Yegor Gaidar)


                       (former Russian prime minister)





    Russian military intevention in  the  breakaway  republic  of  Chechnya,


which  began on December 11th of last year,  is likely opening the way for a


Zhirinovsky coup in the near future.  As I wrote in a December 23rd article,


entitled 'Chechnya and Russia's Last Dash to the South':  "The seeming chaos


in  Chechnya  is  being  matched  with  chaos  in the political and military


leadership in Moscow in order to open the way  for  an  eventual  Zhrinovsky


coup."


    All the classic signs have emerged to indicate  the  current  crisis  in


Chechnya  is  part  of  Russia's  deceptive  pursuits.  By  orchestrating  a


significant military and geopolitical bungle on the part of president  Boris


Yeltsin,  a  pretext  is  being  created for Russian hardliners to overthrow


Yeltsin's government  and  establish  a  military  dictatorship.  Given  the


Zhirinovsky connection, it is clear that Yeltsin will eventually be replaced


by Vladimir Zhirinovsky,  thus opening the way for the global war Moscow has


been planning probably for decades.








                  -Parallels with the August Coup in 1991-





                         "A dictatorship is coming."





                            (Eduard Shevardnadze)


                  (Soviet Foreign Minister under Gorbachev)


               (comment from a high-profile retirement speech)


              (several months prior to the August coup in 1991)








    Moscow has  been  setting  the  stage  for  the  collapse  of  Yeltsin's


government over the past several months in a manner similar to what preceded


the August 1991 coup in the Soviet Union and, in turn, the demise of Mikhail


Gorbachev's  government.   In  early  1991,  Gorbachev  ordered  a  military


crackdown in response  to  a  declaration  of  independence  by  the  Baltic


Republics,   thereby   upsetting   his   reformist   allies.   His  apparent


unwillingness to use sufficient  force  to  crush  the  Baltic  independence


movements  and  prevent  a  breakup  of  the  Soviet Union then led to anger


amongst his allies on the right.  Finally,  just as Gorbachev was  about  to


sign  a  new union agreement that would reduce the Kremlin's central control


over the Soviet republics,  the hardline circle that had become  Gorbachev's


center of support turned against him and threw the August '91 failed coup.


    Likewise,  in recent months Yeltsin's support on the left and right  has


been  rapidly  dissolving.  During the autumn,  seemingly reckless policy on


the part of Russia's Central Bank triggered a collapse in the value  of  the


Russian  ruble.  This,  in  turn,  was  used  as  a pretext for a shakeup of


Yeltsin's government that eventually led to the dismissal or resignation  of


the  main  liberal  reformers in his Cabinet.  Following this break with his


liberal allies, Yeltsin surrounded himself with a small circle of hardliners


in the context of his secretive Security  Council.  Thus  came  his  fateful


decision  to  take  military  action  to  regain  the  breakaway republic of


Chechnya.  Since this operation has gone awry in a  manner  similar  to  the


failed  crackdown Gorbachev ordered in the Baltics in 1991,  Yeltsin has now


seemingly lost the support of his remaining conservative allies.  The  stage


has been set for but another coup attempt by hardliners in Russia's military


and intelligence establishment.








              -Chechen Intervention & Moscow's True Intention-





               "There is something very suspicious going on.


                 Why have they thrown  away the rule book?..."





    "Either the Russian army really does have a catastrophic morale problem


              or this operation was somehow designed to fail."





                       (a Western military specialist)





    What is important to keep in mind is that Russia's military blunders  in


Chechnya   and   the   associated  political  turmoil  in  Moscow  is  being


intentionally engineered.  This becomes readily apparent when  one  realizes


the  seeming  mistakes  of Boris Yeltsin and the Russian army are,  in fact,


perfectly suited for an ulterior motive, i.e., staging a Zhirinovsky coup.





    So that you understand how current events in  Chechnya  are  effectively


staged  and part of Moscow's ongoing deceptive pursuits,  read the following


excerpt from a recent Reuter's article.

              "Experts Baffled by Russian Blunders in Chechnya"


                             By David Ljunggren





   Neither Russian nor Western  defence  experts  can  find  any  reasonable


explanation  for  military  blunders  in Chechnya which they say suggest the


high command has forgotten everything it ever learned about modern warfare.


   And as Moscow's troops bog down ever deeper into the ruins of the Chechen


capital Grozny,  some commentators are starting to speculate  whether  there


might  be  a  more  sinister  side  to  the  Kremlin's  ill-starred Chechnya


campaign.


   "There  is something very suspicious going on.  Why have they thrown away


the rule book?"


   "Either  the  Russian army really does have a catastrophic morale problem


or this  operation  was  somehow  designed  to  fail,"  a  Western  military


specialist said.


   Vyacheslav Kostikov,  spokesman for President  Boris  Yeltsin,  dismisses


talk  of military incompetence.  But conspiracy theorists' speaking of plots


and  subterfuge  find  a  receptive  audience  among  naturally   suspicious


Russians.


   Otto Latsis,  a commentator for Izvestia newspaper,  said the once mighty


military-industrial  complex  --  resentful  about the reduction of its role


since the start of democratic reforms -- would  welcome  either  victory  or


defeat in Chechnya.


   Victory  would  mean  the start of complicated manouevring to boost anti-


democratic forces and mount  what  wo
