EPILOGUE: December, 1992
-Introduction-
Some two years after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Saddam Hussein
continues to provoke the West. In the wake of his seeming defeat in the
Gulf war, Saddam has repeatedly violated United Nations' resolutions
against Iraq and has pursued campaigns of brutal internal repression which
have been internationally condemned. His provocations have brought the
world to the brink of renewed hostilities in the Persian Gulf several
times, but fortunately Iraq keeps backing down.
That Saddam continues to provoke the West is inconsistent with Iraq's
best interest but is favorable to Western interests. By continuing to
aggravate the United Nations and the Western powers, Saddam is reducing the
chances for the international sanctions against Iraq to be lifted. Also,
he is making it virtually impossible for Iraq to reenter the world
community such that Iraqi political, economic, and, eventually, military
power can be rebuilt. Lastly, Saddam's troublesome behavior has provided
the West reason and support for renewing hostilities and seeking to oust
the Iraqi dictator from power.
Saddam's seemingly irrational, self-destructive behavior can be made
sense of in the context of a grand strategy by the East to deceive and
defeat the West.
In waging a third world war, the East would seek to win popular control
of the world along side military control. To do this, the blame for war
must be shifted on to the West. This is because whoever is held
responsible for causing the immense holocaust of world war three will be
the focus of unprecedented popular hate. Thus, if it can be staged such
that global war appears to be the West's fault, then people will support,
rather than resist, an effort by the East to defeat the Western powers and,
in turn, dominate the world.
The exact set-up which could be used to frame the West likely involves
a future, unprecedented international crisis or series of crises that will
end in global war triggered from the Middle East. The stage for this may
currently be under development in the form of persistent Iraqi provocations
against the West, Arab/Israeli peace negotiations, a rising tide of
nationalism and ethnic warfare-particularly in Yugoslavia and the Caucuses,
and increasing political turmoil in Russia.
-Another Persian Gulf Crisis-
A logical explanation for Saddam's continuous and apparently irrational
provocations is that he wants the West to resume hostilities and/or seek an
overthrow of his dictatorship.
On several occasions now Saddam has violated United Nations resolutions
against Iraq and has brought forth serious confrontations with the Western
powers. After a "No-Fly Zone" was established over northern Iraq to
protect Iraqi Kurds, Iraq moved missiles and used radar to threaten allied
flights. After an ultimatum from the Western powers, Saddam backed down
and removed the missiles. Last July, Iraq refused to admit weapons
inspectors to its Ministry of Agriculture headquarters. After the Security
Council threatened to use force, Iraq allowed the inspectors in. On top of
these military confrontations, Saddam has irritated the United Nations and
the West by frustrating numerous weapons inspections, failing to fully
disclose information about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, apparently
hiding SCUD missiles, planting bombs on trucks carrying aid to the Kurds,
harassing United Nations officials working inside Iraq, rejecting terms of
U.N.-monitored oil sales intended to pay compensation to victims of the
Kuwaiti invasion, and boycotting meetings of the Iraq-Kuwait boundary
commision and rejecting some of its findings. All in all, Saddam has
persistently antagonized the United Nations and the Western powers in ways
which may eventually result in renewed hostilities.
On top of provoking confrontations with the United Nations, Saddam's
antagonism has led the West to seek an overthrow of the Iraqi dictator. By
creating militarily-enforced 'No-Fly Zones', the West has effectively
partitioned Iraq into three separate states, thereby cornering Saddam: the
Kurd's have the North, the Shiite's have the South, and Saddam is trapped
in the middle. Besides cornering Saddam, America and the Western allies
have helped organize, and have pledged support for, forces inside Iraq
seeking to oust Saddam Hussein from power. For instance, the West has
backed the development of the 'Iraqi National Congress', a conglomeration
of various groups inside Iraq that are opposed to Saddam. The Congress is
currently seeking to replace the government in Baghdad by instigating a
popular internal uprising and/or military coup against Saddam Hussein's
dictatorship.
The reason Saddam wants the West to resume fighting and/or try and
overthrow his regime would most likely have to do with preparing the way
for Iraq to trigger war in the Middle East. By provoking Western military
intervention and/or staging an overthrow attempt, Saddam creates the
perfect excuse for taking seemingly last-resort, kamikazee action against
Israel and the West. This would likely involve, at the least, a chemical
SCUD attack against Israel {which would 'make fire eat up half of Israel',
just as Saddam had threatened to do a few months prior to invading Kuwait
(1)}. Because such an attack on Israel would stem from apparently blatant
Western aggression against Saddam's Iraq, the 'imperialist' West will be
held responsible for the ultimate consequences.
-False Peace in the Middle East-
In the context of a grand strategy by the East to deceive and defeat
the West, the current Arab/Israeli peace talks should be considered a
strategic deception. The purpose of such a deception would likely be two-
fold: 1.) to set the stage for a 'surprise' Arab/Israeli war, and 2.) to
insure world war three is blamed on the West rather than the East.
There are numerous indications that the Arabs intend to make war rather
than peace. First off, the proposals for comprehensive peace recently put
forth by Syria and Jordan, two of Israel's most steadfast enemies, are
simply too unprecedented and historically inconsistent. They utterly
contradict the long-time stated intentions of Arab leaders, such as Hafez
Assad of Syria, to annihilate the Jewish state. They also contradict the
decades of extraordinary military investments made by the Arabs to make
good on their stated intentions. Recent evidence that the peace talks are
a lie comes from Syria's continuing support for terrorist attacks against
Israelis in Northern Israel and Southern Lebanon. Furthermore, Syria
continues to buy increasingly sophisticated long-range SCUD missiles which
can be used for chemical attacks on Israel, and, on top of that, Hafez
Assad recently signed a 'weapons cooperation accord' with Russia according
to which Syria will receive billions of dollars worth of sophisticated
Sukhoi and MiG fighter jets along with top-of-the-line Russian tanks and
anti-missile systems (2). If, indeed, Syria were committed to peace rather
than war, such activity would have ended long ago.
If the peace negotiations are deceptive, then the ultimate aim most
likely involves some form of future Arab surprise attack. The Arabs may
very well be planning to reach a comprehensive peace agreement with Israel,
but only to secure the element of surprise and to get Israel to drop its
guard. Specifically, one important military/strategic aim of an agreement
might be an Israeli pullout from the Golan Heights- a mountainous buffer
zone which currently blocks a Syrian breakthrough. Such a pullout, along
side an Israeli false sense of security, would make the Jewish state as
vulnerable as possible to an Arab attack.
To make sure that the East is not blamed for world war three, the Arabs
would want to launch an attack against Israel in a way that appears to be
provoked by the West and Israel itself.
To start with, current Arab peace efforts, along side increasing
violence in Southern Lebanon, may be paving the way for the East to shift
blame on to the West for a future Arab/Israeli war. As the Arabs pursue
peace, they increasingly appear to be peace-oriented rather than
belligerent. Meanwhile, Israel appears to be increasingly belligerent
rather than peaceful because stepped-up terrorist attacks have provoked
Israeli raids against terrorist factions in Southern Lebanon. By linking a
future war to Israeli action in Lebanon, the Arabs could significantly
reverse any blame.
As is mentioned above, besides Lebanon, war could be set-off in the
Middle East in a way that appears to be the West's fault by having Saddam
provoke a crisis with the West and then launch a kamikazee attack against
Israel. Following an Iraqi chemical attack against the Jewish state- an
action which would revive memories of Hitler's gassing of the Jews- Israeli
retaliation will be both assured and severe (3). Israel's military
response could, in turn, be used by the Arabs- particularly Syria- as a
pretense for war that, due to the current peace efforts, would effectively
be a surprise.
All in all, by using Iraq, and possibly Lebanon, to spawn a primary
crisis, the Arabs could launch an attack against Israel and have it appear
to be the West's and Israel's fault.
In the context of a general strategy involving Russia, the goal of an
Arab attack against Israel would be its predictable consequence: to get the
West to use nuclear weapons first. It is widely recognized that Israel has
a substantial nuclear arsenal which includes nuclear missiles. Upon an
Arab breakthrough, it is believed that Israel would launch a nuclear attack
against its perceived enemies (4). This, in turn, would give Russia the
excuse it needs to launch a nuclear attack against the West and have it
appear to be 'retaliation'. Thus, because Israel would be quick to use
nuclear weapons, Russia may be planning to use a surprise Arab/Israeli war
as a catalyst for surprise nuclear attack against the West.
(It should be noted that a 'surprise' attack entails any attack
that is unexpected. In the context of today's apparent 'New World
Order' involving East/West and Arab/Israeli peace and cooperation,
both an Arab/Israeli war and/or a global East/West war would be
unexpected and effectively a surprise at present regardless of the
crisis or crises that may serve as a pretense for war.)
-The Balkans and the Caucasus-
Besides the Middle East, it appears that Moscow may use the Balkan
and/or Caucasian regions as flash-points for world war three.
On a general level, disintegrating the Soviet Union has opened the way
for a rising tide of nationalism and ethnic warfare. What's more, the
perception of a debilitated and militarily weak Russia opens the way for
strong Western military intervention the world over.
By fostering nationalist trends and ethnic conflicts in the Balkans-
principally Yugoslavia- and Caucasian countries- such as Armenia and
Azerbaijan, Russia may be seeking to provoke Western military intervention
that can be linked to the outbreak of world war three. In this way, blame
for global war can be shifted as much as possible on to West.
The focus on these regions would likely have to do with the ease of
pulling the local NATO members into large-scale war. Both the Yugoslavian
and Armenian/Azerbaijan conflicts currently underway can be escalated such
that regional war will breakout involving, at the least, Turkey- NATO's
critical East-West linchpin. This can easily be used as a pretense for
general war between the East and West.
That Moscow is planning to use the Balkan and Caucasian regions for
flashpoints is indicated by inconsistent policies and the statements of
Russian officials. With regard to Yugoslavia, even though Moscow signed an
agreement for an international embargo on arms shipments to Serbia, it is
still supplying large quantities of arms to its ex-ally (5) (Serbia is the
principal belligerent in the Yugoslavian war). Furthermore, Sergey
Yastrzhemskiy, director of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
recently warned that the situation in the Balkans could lead "to a global
explosion fraught with the danger of a third world war" (6). In the
Caucasus, Moscow's calls for a diplomatic solution to the
Armenian/Azerbaijan conflict has been contradicted by policies which have
armed the local populations. Also, last May, General Yevgeny Shaposhnikov,
commander of the CIS (ex-Soviet) army, warned that foreign intervention in
the region "could bring the world into the third world war" (7). More
specifically, the mutual security arrangements of the CIS are arranged such
that, should Turkey intervene in Armenia- something which Turkey has
threatened to do on several occasions, the CIS would be pulled into war
against Turkey and, in turn, NATO.
-The (Open) Rise to Power of the Russian Right-
Along side underhandedly creating war in and around the Middle East, it
would be strategic for Moscow to instigate political turmoil and possibly
civil war in Russia before launching an all-out attack. From such chaos,
Moscow could stage an open rise to power by Russian neo-facists, more
commonly referred to as the "Russian Right".
If, indeed, the East has been pursuing a grand deception over the past
several years, then it is likely that Gorbachev's rise to power in 1985
entailed a dramatic ideological shift to the political right rather than
the left. At first this may seem hard to believe, but, indeed, going into
the 1980's, it was well-recognized that a shift to the right was taking
place at the top in the Soviet Union {for instance, see: Alexander Yanov's,
'The Russian Challenge and the Year 2000' (8)}.
The Russian Right is the ultimate form of facism. It is centered
around an ideology that paints Jews and Westerners as satanic elements
conspiring to overtake Russia and the world. Consequently, Russia has a
messianic calling to wage a merciless war against Israel and the West
before the world is completely controlled by evil "zionist"
(Israeli/Jewish) and "freemasonry" (Western/liberal-democratic) forces
(purportedly by the year 2000). Through this war Russia will fulfill its
destiny of saving (dominating) the world and establishing a global kingdom
of god (dictatorship of man). The pseudo-Christian underpinnings of the
Russian Right brought about a strong alliance between Rightist elements in
the government and leaders in the Russian Orthodox Church. In other words,
with the emergence of the Russian Right, the ideology surrounding Russia's
historical messianic complex shifted from Communism to Orthodoxy. (9)
There were numerous indications that Gorbachev led a rise to power by
the Russian Right. First off, Gorbachev's background in the Komsomols
(Young Communists) involved participation in anti-semitic activities under
Stalin (10). It was these anti-semitic programs which were the roots from
which the Russian Right emerged {especially in the context of Young
Guardism (11)}. Since Gorbachev eventually became a leading figure in the
Komsomols, there is reason to believe he was involved in the emergence of
the Russian Right (12). His remarkably fast rise into the Politburo under
Brezhnev (Gorbachev was only 50 when he entered the Politburo whereas the
average age of a member was over 70) indicates he was tied to an extremely
powerful movement which, at that time, would have most likely been the
Right. During the 1970's, the Russian Right was seeking to bring about a
top-down revolution. By achieving power at the top, the neo-facist
ideology of the Russian Right could be spread downward to the people (13).
This is exactly what happened under Gorbachev.
Soon after Gorbachev came to power and initiated his policy of
Glasnost, or openess, the neo-facist ideology of the Russian Right began to
be introduced to the Russian people through supposedly grassroot
organizations which were, in fact, created and financed by the KGB.
Probably the ultimate example of this is an organization called 'Pamyat'.
Pamyat was underhandedly created by the Soviet government and the KGB
supposedly as an independent organization devoted to renovating and
restoring Russian monuments, museums, historical sights, and Orthodox
Churches (14). Quickly, however, it transformed into a leading front for
the spread of Russian neo-facism. Pamyat and its activities under
Gorbachev could be tied to the KGB, high-level elements of the Soviet
military, and the Central Committee of the Central Party of the Soviet
Union (CPSU). In fact, there were indications that Yegor Ligachev,
Gorbachev's right-hand man, and Raisa Gorbachev, Mikhail's wife, were
directly involved with Pamyat (15). Furthermore, in 1987, Gorbachev's
closest Politburo ally, Boris Yeltsin (!), held an extraordinary meeting
with Pamyat leaders (16). Following this meeting Pamyat was permitted to
use government buildings for meetings and other activities- an
unprecedented privilege. Further indicating Pamyat's connection to the
government, at the 1990 Revolution Day parade in Moscow's Red Square the
military and police kept all groups of demonstrators at least a mile away
from the parade area except for Pamyat (17). Furthermore, that year
Gorbachev appointed two people to his 13-member presidential council who
were believed to be members of Pamyat (18). One of those individuals,
Valentin Rasputin, advocated that Russian Jews ought to be tried
collectively for the murder of Jesus (19).
The linkage between Pamyat and the Soviet power structure indicates
that the Russian Right came to power with the rise of Mikhail Gorbachev,
but an open rise to power by Russian neo-facism and an apocalyptic war
launched against the West will likely be carried out by a Vladimir
Zhirinovsky. Vladimir Zhirinovsky is the leader of a party misleadingly
called the Liberal Democratic Party. He was recently quoted as saying: "I
am the Almighty. I am the tyrant. I will follow in Hitler's footsteps."
(20) His purported goals are the same as Pamyat's, including the
restoration of the Byzantine empire of the East.
Zhirinovsky is evidently an agent of the KGB. A recent outside
investigation of the 1990 August coup in Moscow has uncovered documents and
evidence which establishes direct links between Zhirinovsky, the KGB, and
the CPSU under Gorbachev (21). Furthermore, the evidence indicates that
the Liberal Democratic Party effectively does not exist. Since Zhirinovsky
supposedly received six million votes and came in third in the Russian
presidential elections won by Yeltsin, the indication is that those
elections were, in fact, a fraud (22). Overall, the indication is that
Zhirinovsky is KGB and Gorbachev and Yeltsin are involved in an
unprecedented, global-scale deception.
It appears that Zhirinovsky was created to carry out the dirty work of
the Russian Right. He could prove to be the key player in launching an
all-out Russian attack against the West. To understand how and why this is
so one must first consider the 1991 August coup in Moscow.
There is good reason to believe that the August coup in the Soviet
Union was a staged deception. To understand why, simply consider that,
during a 'hardline' coup in the largest military dictatorship in world
history, it would be unlikely that the supposed main opposition- Boris
Yelstin and his counterparts- would go unarrested or unkilled. It is
outright absurd to believe that this opposition could get away with making
speeches and rallying popular support to undo the coup in the streets of
Moscow. Yet, this is supposedly what happened (23). Realistically,
however, the main opposition would be the first thing to go in a hardline
coup involving the strategically-minded KGB and Soviet military. All in
all, the August coup may have been nothing but a deception and Mikhail
Gorbachev, Boris Yelstin, and the rest of the 'ex-communist', 'ex-Soviet'
leadership, have always been and will likely always be 'hardliners' whose
intent is world domination.
The 1991 coup had a notable peculiarity which may portend a future,
bogus coup which Moscow may be planning to stage prior to launching an
attack against the West. Following the August coup, the Soviet press
emphasized how Gorbachev's 'briefcase' fell into the hands of the supposed
hardliners who threw the coup. This briefcase reportedly carried the codes
which are used to launch the Soviet Union's nuclear missiles. In other
words, it was made clear to the world how the coup could have led to a
nuclear war launched by radical hardliners. (24)
Prior to launching a third world war, it would be strategic for Moscow
to stage a rise to power by the Russian Right. First off, such a move
would be necessary to maintain the consistency of the overall deception.
Yeltsin's Russia, like Gorbachev's Soviet Union, has been painted as
progressive and peace-oriented. Thus, prior to launching a war, Russia
would want it to appear that radical hardliners are in power. This way the
world won't pick-up on the overall deception that's been underway or the
premeditated nature of Russia's attack.
By maintaining the overall deception, Russia's 'true' leaders will be
able to sidestep blame and, more importantly, they'll eventually be able to
achieve popular world control. Following an all-out offensive against the
West and military campaign to dominate the world, Russia would want to
stage a bogus 'return' to power by what have been made out to be
progressive, peace-oriented leaders- especially Mikhail Gorbachev. This
way military control of the world can be reinforced by popular control.
Instead of realizing how Gorbachev and his associates were responsible for
world destruction, people will believe these leaders saved the world from
ultimate destruction by Russian extremists.
It seems clear that Vladimir Zhirinovsky is the openly neo-facist,
hardline leader that Moscow is planning to bring to power for launching
world war three. The stage is being set so that his rise to power
parallels Hitler's rise to power in the Weimar Republic of Germany during
the 1930's. Over the past couple of years, Russia has been transformed
into a what's supposed to be a fledgling democratic nation with no
democratic heritage suffering from increasing political and economic
disintegration. This, of course, was what the Weimar Republic of Germany
was like. Now, a neo-facist dictator, Vladmir Zhirinovsky, can be carried
to power out of popular frustrations. This, of course, was how Hitler
found his way to the top. Once Zhirinovsky's is supposedly placed in
charge, possibly through some sort of bogus palace coup against Yeltsin
(keep in mind it is all staged and Gorbachev, Yeltsin, and the powers that
be are simply engaging in large-scale political deception), he then can be
used to launch a world war; again, 'following in Hitler's footsteps'.
The reason that Moscow would stage a shift to the right in a manner
which parallels the rise of facism in Germany during the 1930's is that it
makes the overall deception more believable. Nevertheless, the connections
between Gorbachev, Yeltsin, and the Russian Right, as well as the
connections between Zhirinovsky, the KGB, and the CPSU as it were, make it
clear that neo-facism found its way into the Russian power structure long
ago. What's taking place at present and what occurs in the future has been
preplanned and is bogus.
That an open rise to power by the extreme right and Vladimir
Zhirinovsky will be used to make way for an all-out war against the West is
made clear by the super-belligerent threats Zhirinovsky has been making.
First off, Zhirinovsky is calling for the forceful reestablishment of the
pre-1917 borders of the Czarist Russian empire. Furthermore, he has vowed
to wage a third world war against the West in Yugoslavia, the Caucuses, and
the Middle East. Lastly, and most importantly, Zhirinovsky recently made
his first international diplomatic trip. He went to Baghdad, Iraq.
Zhirinovsky has pledged to support Saddam Hussein in waging war against
Russia's and Iraq's common enemies of the West, Israel, and Turkey. What
is more, Zhirinovsky has stated that he will not hesitate to use weapons of
mass destruction in that effort. (25)
-Conclusion-
All in all, by underhandedly provoking war in and around the Middle
East along side staging a radical power shift to the extreme right in
Russia, Moscow creates the ideal scenario for fighting and winning a third
world war against the West. By instigating the collapse of Soviet
Communism and pursuing world peace over the past several years, Moscow has
secured surprise and duped the West into dropping its guard. This has also
made it possible to frame the Western powers such that world war three
appears to be their fault. Lastly, the way has been opened for Russian
Orthodoxy to replace Communism. Now with the West vulnerable but
aggressive, Moscow can underhandedly provoke Western military intervention
at various flashpoints of a third world war. Principally, the West can be
pulled into conflict in the Persian Gulf (Iraq), the Balkans (Yugoslavia),
the Caucuses (Armenia/Azerbaijan), and the Middle East (Arab/Israeli).
Meanwhile, an open rise to power by Russian neo-facists can be staged such
that Moscow can launch its attack without exposing the overall deception.
Suddenly faced by the militant dictator Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Western
military action in and around the Middle East can be used as an excuse for
all-out war, including a massive nuclear strike against the West- likely in
response to a last-ditch Israeli nuclear attack during an Arab overrun.
After the dust settles, the West will have been utterly defeated by the
East from an attack which came as a complete surprise. What is worse, the
horrific war will be blamed on the imperialistic efforts of the West rather
than the guilty East. The stage will be set for Mikhail Gorbachev to
'reemerge' to power in Russia. Orthodoxy can be established in the place
of Communism and Gorbachev can declare himself world savior. Thus, Russia
will have achieved both military and popular dominance of the world.
As for Saddam Hussein, the reason for his seemingly irrational, self-
sacrificial actions thus far would finally become clear. Through his
cooperation with Moscow, Saddam may eventually achieve both military and
popular dominance in the Moslem world. If events generally proceed as is
spelled out above, then, after the dust settles, Saddam would emerge as an
ultimate hero of the Arab and Moslem people. Just as it appeared to be all
over for him, Saddam managed to completely turn circumstances around such
that utter defeat was brought to his 'imperialist' enemies of the West:
Israel, America, and the Western allies. Thus, Saddam will be able to
establish popular dominion over Persia and possibly the entire Moslem
world. Saddam's power will likely be reinforced by his central role in a
Russian/Moslem military alliance to be 'openly' forged later on.
