The Rothschild's Jewish puppets.

I'm not praying at the Jewish/Talmudic altar.
By Henry Makow.

"The goyim are a flock of sheep, and we are their wolves. And you know what happens when the wolves get hold of the flock?" (Protocols of Zion-11)

I had as much satisfaction as anyone from the humiliation Vlad Putin dealt the Zionists in Georgia recently. However I'm not joining in the general celebration evinced by articles like "The Zionist West Has Met Its Match" by Karl Schwartz (August 23,2008.)

(Yes the 'West' is Zionist managed to varying degrees, though not necessarily controlled. Why would Russia be portrayed as independent from Zionism? Its richest elite is Jewish, having good linkages with Russian security.....the traditional Jewish tool in Russia, which brought Putin and his secret service friends into power, at the behest of the Jew and their agenda's.)

To equate the New World Order with Zionism is incorrect. Zionism is just one pincer in the NWO. The other is Opposition-to-Zionism, represented by Russia's Putin and Iran's Ahmadinejad. The Rothschild's control them both through MI-6.

(The NWO is Jewish to be more exact---Jewish world government, where the Talmud tells the vile filthy Jew that the earth belongs to them.....for them to rule over all others.......And the other point, well maybe its correct in relation to SIS, though given the Jewish Bolshevik experiment in Russia by the Rothschild's it would be more logical for them to control Russia through the Jewish Oligarch's, through the 90 or so odd billionaires and multi-millionaires that Putin hasn't touched. I mean, why use an essentially WASP organization such as MI-6 with its foreign hostile connotations for Russia (accusations of spying and undermining the central government in Russia more recently), when you have perfect local recruits of your co-religionists such as the Oligarchs. Where do a good deal of the criminal Jewish Oligarchs go?

In the case of Iran it is certainly more plausible, given the historical relationship of the UK to Iran.......this is more acceptable, where London ahead of FATA, is the number 0ne hoarding ground for Islamic terrorists, and fugitive Jewish billionaires)

This dialectic succeeds the Nazi- Communist one of WW2. You can't have a Third World War unless you have two sides. This time round, Putin and Ahmadinejad have been cast as defenders of Nation and Religion. But don't be fooled. This is the Rothschild Modus Operandi. They routinely simulate the opposition or pretend to fight themselves. (Read Protocols 12 and 17 for examples.)This way they can initiate profitable conflicts and orchestrate the outcome. Meanwhile the idealistic plebes fight and die for a "good cause." How do I support this view of Putin? To begin with, his body language. Putin doesn't have the gravitas to be anything more than a front man. He lacks chest hair. Have you seen how comfortable he is with George W. ? They are both veterans from central casting. If Putin were for real, he wouldn't be able to stand W's presence.

( Don't tell me you are psychic Henry. I am seeing a Jewish numbers game here. And I thought you were an exception to your vile race..........having gravitas doesn't necessarily make you a great leader......Hitler had some gravitas (ever see him smile in public, he was constantly shadowed and coached by Hess, anybody can pull off gravitas with a bit of publicity/training)........as did Stalin, both puppets of the Rothschild's.)













For those who demand more substantial proof, I spent a half-hour on Google. I learned that Putin is on intimate terms with the head of the largest faction of Russian Jewry, the Chabad Lubavichers. The Rebbe relates how when young Vlad was hungry, they fed him and he has felt gratitude ever since. Maybe they're still feeding him? Remember this is an anti-Zionist!

(Putin has never stated publicly he is anti-Zionist, however as a credible nationalistic leader he has to follow the mood of the Russian people, and in superficial tactical concession to this he cryptically nodded in the direction of Antisemitism by referring to them as 'Jackals', and has reigned in one or two out of the 100 or more Jewish Oligarch's who stole and hoarded Russia's wealth under Yeltsin. His alleged anti-Zionism is thus quite superficial.................so you are correct Henry.

What he should have done as a proper Russian leader is hold a comprehensive state inquiry exposing the crimes of the Jewish Bolsheviks and the murder of 60 million Soviet citizens and a decent state memorial to the victims, but Putin still glorifies the Communist era as a great period of Russian history to be proud of, and Stalin the Jew competes with the Czar as the most favored Russian still.

Putin should have also held a Public enquiry into the crimes of the Yeltsin era...........Yeltsin is still portrayed in Russia as a cuddly drunk clown who was a little misguided, thats all!

Also, Putin should have dealt with ALL the Jewish Oligarchs, regardless of the overt/covert nature of their criminality................he should have confiscated all their assets and sent them off to Israel along with the rest of the Jews in Russia.

To do these things would be to put real perspective and understanding of Russian history, but failure to do so could risk repeating the mistakes of the past.....and that is what a real Russian patriot would have done........who is to say that in the near future the Jewish Oligarchs do not elect one of their own, change his name and he becomes leader of Russia as in the old times under the Bolsheviks, and the same round of problems ensue. )

Then I found the website of an MI-6 defector Richard Tomlinson who trained with young KGB agent Putin. They both learned to serve the Illuminati who were 'born to rule', the self-elected custodians of society.

(As I understand it Tomlinson is a Marxist still, of the type that came out of Cambridge, made up of misguided Englishmen, with no real understanding of the true nature of the Jewish Bolshevik Revolution funded from NY, and London ----I would not say that Tomlinson is a NWO tool, as he has been very critical of MI-6, writing articles about them in prominent papers in the UK, divulging their secrets in a book, and he has been seriously harassed around Europe. Now all this could be a show for a specific purpose of some kind..... but I doubt it.

As to what he says about Putin, obviously he was until 1995, and after in a better position to know about these things then most of us. From the Henry Makow perspective it would make sense..........Jews funding their puppets, and working through intelligence agencies, building up future adversaries to create perpetual war.........and thus boost their MIC profits.)

Putin was brainwashed and controlled by MI-6 and may still be. This may explain his muted reaction to the sinking of the Kursk by the US and the Beslan massacre aided and abetted by MI-6. Tomlinson says Putin was a Royal Arch Freemason but is no longer a Freemason and has broken free of his mind programming. I wonder.

( The idea that an organization like MI-6 with 2000 members somehow literally hand picked the future leaders of Russia in a banana republic roughshod way, from the ranks of the old KGB with its staff of 700,000 is a little bit unbelievable, given the fact that the KGB was quite an effective organization at one time and was infiltrating Western leaders. But then again with the Rothschild's connection, and the Third World like collapse of the old Soviet Union, when everything was extremely fluid inside Russia, this may be plausible.

But I always thought the Rothschild's and their family members served in MI-5 traditionally keeping an eye on their serfs and kingdom, and not MI-6, though I am sure there are a few Jew Bonds in the past and present serving in that organisation)








































Then there is the famous picture of Putin kissing the stomach of a young boy in public, suggesting he has the pederast foibles typical of his kind. I don't believe Putin's break with the Rothschild's and the West is more than stagecraft. Does Russia have a central bank controlled by the Rothschild's? 'Nuff said.(Is the Pope Catholic?)

(Yes these are better indicators of his international Jew links.....regular visits to the Crawford ranch like a very eager boy. Initially his total ignorance of the International Jews drive to isolate Russia, and ring it with missiles until it became grossly too obvious. This simply is not credible for an alleged formidable intelligence operative. His and his handpick Medvedev constant pathetic pining to be accepted into the Western club even into 2008. The War on terror narrative in Russia pursued with zeal, and the establishment of close collaboration of intelligence agencies between the West and Russia, juxtaposed with all the negativity against Russia building up and activities of Western intelligence against Russia.......Putin is a real Russian leader!


.......and the false flag ops in Chechnya, Beslan involving little children, Moscow theaters, hospitals and apartment blocks, all highly emotional targets carried out by Russian intelligence, AND VERIFIED SO by retired intelligence officers in Russia. And no I don't think Chechen men are super human fighters who travel hundreds of miles deep into Southern Russia and other parts and carry out such deeds with out state assistance and knowledge. Yes indeed these are the actions and orders from the International Jew, and their puppet did his work exactly. Besides this there are more basic indicators, where one does not have to ponder too deeply at the MO of the Chechens.)

I'd love for Putin et co. to be for real. But I'm not buying it.

AHMADINEJAD/YEHUDI/SABORJHIAN/FOREIGN AGENT.















Here is the Iranian President giving the Masonic "thumb and finger" sign of recognition. Two fingers pointed upward is a negative sign.

One of David Livingstone's Iranian readers claims that Ahmadinejad is a crypto-Jew. He pointed David to a Wikipedia article which notes that his family changed their name in the 50's from Saborjhian, which he claims is a typical Jewish name.
























( I am afraid Jews might be at the center of the Iranian Islamic Revolution, and we note again that the key tool of the totalitarian state, the intelligence agency, was defacto run by a Jew, Saeed Imami, until recently)

He continued: "I really hope this be a way to expose the real danger we all are facing globally, Iran, USA and Russia hand-in-hand bringing the third world war."

"Inside the political establishment of Iran everybody is concerned about crypto-Jews that have a strong grip on the most influential politicians just by having corrupted them all or they know about their dirty past, for example : Mohsen Rezaei ex-commander of Revolutionary Guard said last summer: " Ahmadinejad's mother is a Jew, and from the establishment of Islamic republic in 1979, the crypto-Jews were in the highest position in decision making in the State." but he is silence now!

(This would go a long way towards explaining his theatrics and rhetoric just at the right time. He has been picked by the mullahs to serve a second term as President given his great record, and forget democarcy and free choice in Iran, and do not apply for the 2009 Iranian Presidential elections, Khamenei the whore of the Jew has made his choice for the 70 million Persians.

And perhaps one could read some of the enlightened comments of Ayatollah Khomeini to see the true Jewish nature of the "Islamic Republic", a couple of blog posts below............The connections with pedophilia, child slave sex trafficking implicating key members of the mullahtocracy, and the Jewish international narcotics trade.

In doing so we should not rule out the possibility that Colonel Reza Shah who came to power in Iran in 1921 with British help, a man who could not read or write and an officer in the Persian Cossack Brigade, may have been Jewish also, and thus so too his son Shah Pahlavi who had more than excellent relations with Israel..............We see this game has been going for quite a while. One wonders which of the 60 odd leaders of Muslim nations are Jewish also)

This would be consistent with reports that Israel may have helped Iran develop nuclear weapons. Recently, an ex-Mossad chief said Ahmadinejad was "Israel's greatest gift" by posing as a threat to Israel.

(No Henry don't slip in such bullshit, and make an attack on Iran more plausible. Whilst Trita Parsi's book 'Treacherous Alliance" states that Mossad was present when Khomenei was anointed in Tehran in February 1979, and thus by implication played a major role in the overthrow of the Shah, I don't think the Mossad would go far as to arm and enable a nuclear weapons Iran run by mullahs, a few 100 miles from Israel, which thus fuels a huge nuclear arms race in the Greater Middle East.

There are many complex reasons why the British, USA, France and possibly Israel toppled the Shah, but one notes that once the mullahs came into power one of the very first things they did was shut down the Shah's ambitious civilian nuclear program of 24 reactors which envisaged spending $90 billion over 30 years, and the British mullahs really didn't reopen it until the early 1990's, and only then haphazardly, as with most things in British mullah Iran. So the point is if you instal the mullahs with the part objective of halting Iran's civilian nuclear program, then why would Mossad go out of its way to contradict such a significant policy, contrary to the wishes of the Americans and British. To be sure the Israelis trade American technology to get favors from nations that America doesn't approve of (Cybil Edmonds revelations amongst other sources), mullah Iran included, but such a suggestion would be quite out of the ordinary.

Iran is not Libya, it has a huge nuclear science community, and technology to produce nuclear weapons with the assistance of Russia, unofficially, and Pakistan (AQ Khan's network) but the desire was never there. But the point is if Iran really wanted to, the country could have made her own nuke bombs a long time ago.

In light of what has been said by you it is interesting to see that it is Russia which is building the nuclear plant at Bushehr, and Iran plans..............19 more of these?...or was it 6 more of these with Russian assistance?

Henry you also need to observe the Israeli efforts against Pakistan's nuke program over 30 years to understand why Israel would be the last country which would help Iran build nuclear bombs as a Casus Belli for war with Iran.)

"Ahmadinejad is our greatest gift," Halevy told the Arab language television network Al-Hurra on Tuesday. "We couldn't carry out a better operation at the Mossad than to put a guy like Ahmadinejad in power in Iran."

Halevy added that the Iranian president's extremist statements "proved to everyone that Iran of today is an Iran that is impossible to live with. [Ahmadinejad] unites the entire world against Iran."

I hope average Israelis see how they are being used as pawns, as the Jews of Europe were with fatal consequences.

(Keep at it Henry, we may yet convert the vile filthy Jew yet, and his 3,000 year old habits...........thats why the protest of liberal Jews against the genocide of Afghanistan and Iraq is soooooo deafening)

ON THE HOME FRONT

Americans have been effectively disenfranchised. They get to vote for the Neo-Con of their choice. Obama's logo is the familiar Illuminati dot in circle & rising sun motif. His motto "Change" is great if you like Communism. Obama was financed in his 2004 Senate race by George Soros and this Rothschild cut-out is again financing him.






Meanwhile Randy Scheunemann is John McCain's chief foreign policy adviser. He has also worked for the Republic of Georgia and for George Soros' Open Society Policy Center. (See his Wikipedia entry.) In addition, McCain has been accused of taking improper donations from the Rothschilds.

So you see, both sides are beholden to the Rothschilds. Americans have been disenfranchised. But then, slaves always are.

A GUIDE FOR THE BEDEVILED

I won't bore you with details when all you really need is the paradigm. Our political life is a grotesque carnival designed to convince the rubes they live in a democracy. This is so they will pay taxes and lay down their lives for their betters.

Our rulers have determined that we shall have no real say in our collective future. Like livestock, we will chew our collective cud on sex, drugs, toys and trivia, which they will supply in abundance.

This explains why the mass media (incl. movies) and education long ago ceased to deal in reality, or teach civics or history. Instead they are purveyors of deception and conformity.




The US election is really a job competition where a shortlist of candidates vie for the privilege of deceiving the public and implementing the banker agenda. Even this process is fixed, as the bankers naturally prefer the most corrupt and dissolute and therefore most blackmail-able and obedient leader.

There hasn't been a President in the last 100 years who hasn't been controlled by the Rothschilds via the Rockefellers. The ones that resisted were poisoned (Harding); murdered (JFK) or framed (Nixon.)

(You might have mentioned Abraham Lincoln and President McKinley to the list of American Presidents assassinated by the Jew, with guidance from the Rothschilds)

The bankers use the US as the Zionist half of their dialectic leading to world government. At the same time, the US is weakened so it can be properly submerged.

Our world is a B-movie Horror where the town's leading citizens secretly join a satanic cult and betray everybody else. This is essentially the position of people who align themselves with the central bankers, which is a prerequisite for success in most fields today.

This is why so many of our "leaders" are drunks and perverts. They have sold their souls to the devil and know it.


CONCLUSION

Our leadership class belongs to an international satanic cult beholden to the Cabalist (i.e. Masonic) central bankers. The mass media and education systems function to legitimize the criminals, perverts and traitors, I mean "leaders."

Don't doubt for a moment -- mankind has the smarts to solve all its problems but we are being actively sabotaged by the money-masters. Our collective life is a fraud because our national credit is controlled by private banking families. They are inaugurating a new Dark Age that may last for eternity.

The tragic wars that have marred modern history and inflicted unspeakable suffering were caused by a relatively few sick minds who hate God and humanity. Their demented centuries-old plot is entering its final stage.

(Why use the same old cliched sentence to end your writing? Why not offer a clear strategy of combating these Satans? Why keep reminding us of their great power, and how unfortunate we are.......and really by implication 'we' should all take a hanky, go to the corner and cry and cower)

















(HITLER, STALIN) Putin, Ahmadinejad, Obama and McCain are all stage actors. Rather than getting sucked into this pseudo drama by siding with one side or another, we need to make our own plans. Essentially we are on a bus driven by a psycho. We need to find a way to get off.

(And the solution is specifically? You have basically written the same line over many years.......so whats the pragmatic practical solution to all this?)

The New Zionist Madness against Russia.

You know, looking a history the Russian people and government have always got along with the American people and government. Post 1918, after the Communist revolution all that changed at least officially; we find that NY/London financed and directed the Jewish Communists revolution, against Romanov Russia. 60 million people perished in the Jewish run Soviet Union. You would think there would be second thoughts about inflicting more harm and danger against the Russian people by the very same-----but no.

The Rothschild's of London, through their tool the CFR and their agents in America are once again attacking the Russian people (this explains the aggressive UK ops against Russia from within and her periphery), though the writer below, Mike Whitney, wisely skirts this issue, otherwise he would have difficulty getting publication for what is otherwise another excellent piece of real journalism.

Brzezinski is thus not really original with something to say, but simply peddling Rothschild Zionist international agenda's disguised as an imperative of American national interests.

Well Mr. Brzezinski how is spending a couple trillion American $'s pursuing endless conflict in the best interests of America? Expending the lives of young American men and women in the process; bankrupting the American economy along the process; diplomatically isolating America along the process; Turning America into a Jew run police state; endangering the safety of the planet. How is that a smart clever policy for America?

The true smart move for America is live and let live----We are and never will be GOD, controlling the whole world, and the greedy money worshipping, materialistic, ego worshipping Jew is the last people GOD would choose to rule this earth, otherwise it would have happened a lot earlier. So let us stand against a mad Jew driven uni-polar world, 'using' America, pursuing impossible dreams.

Putin Agonistes: Missile Defense will not be Deployed
By Mike Whitney
12/19/07 "ICH " -- --

It's been a lot of hard work, but Russian President Vladimir Putin has finally achieved his goal. He's cleaned up the mess left behind by Yeltsin, put together a strong and thriving economy, and restored Russia to a place of honor among the community of nations. His legacy has already been written. He's the man who rebuilt Russia. The last thing he wants now, is a pointless confrontation with the United States. But how can it be avoided? He understands Washington's long-range plans for Russia and he is taking necessary steps to preempt them. He is familiar with the heavyweights of US foreign policy, like Zbigniew Brzezinski, and has undoubtedly read his master-plan for Central Asia, “The Grand Chessboard”. Brzezinski's recent article in Foreign Affairs, (A publication of the Council on Foreign Relations) “A Geostrategy for Eurasia” summarizes his views on America's future involvement in the region:


“America's emergence as the sole global superpower now makes an integrated and comprehensive strategy for Eurasia imperative."

Eurasia is home to most of the world's politically assertive and dynamic states. All the historical pretenders to global power originated in Eurasia. The world's most populous aspirants to regional hegemony, China and India, are in Eurasia, as are all the potential political or economic challengers to American primacy. ... Eurasia accounts for 75 percent of the world's population, 60 percent of its GNP, and 75 percent of its energy resources. Collectively, Eurasia's potential power overshadows even America's.


Eurasia is the world's axial supercontinent. A power that dominated Eurasia would exercise decisive influence over two of the world's three most economically productive regions, Western Europe and East Asia. A glance at the map also suggests that a country dominant in Eurasia would almost automatically control the Middle East and Africa. With Eurasia now serving as the decisive geopolitical chessboard, it no longer suffices to fashion one policy for Europe and another for Asia. What happens with the distribution of power on the Eurasian landmass will be of decisive importance to America's global primacy and historical legacy.”

So, there it is. The US is moving into the neighborhood and has no intention of leaving. The war on terror is a fraud; it merely conceals the fact that Bush is sprinkling military bases throughout Central Asia and surrounding Russia in the process. Brzezinski sees this as a “strategic imperative”. It doesn't matter what Putin thinks. According to Brzezinski “NATO enlargement should move forward in deliberate stages” . The US must make sure “that no state or combination of states gains the ability to expel the United States or even diminish its decisive role”.


This isn't new. Putin has known for some time what Bush is up to and he's been as accommodating as possible. After all, his real passion is putting Russia back on its feet and improving the lives of its citizens. That will have to change now that Bush has decided to install a “Missile Defense” system in Eastern Europe. Putin will have to devote more time to blocking America's plans. The new system will upset the basic balance of power between the nuclear rivals and force Putin to raise the stakes. A confrontation is brewing whether Putin wants it or not. The system cannot be deployed. Period. Putin must now do whatever he is necessary to remove a direct threat to Russia's national security. That is the primary obligation of every leader and he will not shirk his responsibility.

Putin is an elusive character; neither boastful nor arrogant. It's clear now that western pundits mistook his reserved, quiet manner as a sign of superficiality or lack of resolve. They were wrong. They underestimated the former-KGB Colonel. Putin is bright and tenacious and he has a vision for his country. He sees Russia as a key player in the new century; an energy powerhouse that can control its own destiny. He doesn't plan to get bogged down in avoidable conflicts if possible. He's focused on development not war; plowshares not swords. He's also fiercely nationalistic; a Russian who puts Russia first.


But Putin is a realist and he knows that the US will not leave Eurasia without a fight. He's read the US National Security Strategy and he understands the ideological foundation for America's “unipolar” world model. The NSS is an unambiguous declaration of war against any nation that claims the right to to control its own resources or defend its own sovereignty against US interests. The NSS implies that nations' are required to open their markets to western multinationals and follow directives from Washington or accept a place on Bush's “enemies list”. There's no middle ground. You are with us or with the terrorists. The NSS also entitles the United States to unilaterally wage aggressive warfare against any state or group that is perceived to be a potential threat to Washington's imperial ambitions. These so-called “preemptive” wars are carried out under the rubric of the “war on terror” which provides the justification for torture, abduction, ethnic cleansing and massive civilian casualties.

US National Security Strategy articulates in black and white what many critics had been saying for years; the United States owns the world and everyone else is just a guest.


Putin knows that there's no way to reconcile this doctrine with his own aspirations for an independent Russia but, so far, a clash has been averted.

He also knows that Bush is flanked by a band of fanatics and militarists who plan to weaken Russia, install an American stooge (like Georgia and Afghanistan) and divide the country into four regions. This strategy is clearly presented in forward-planning documents that have been drawn up in Washington think tanks that chart the course for US world domination.

Brzezinski is quite candid about this in his article in Foreign Affairs:

“Given (Russia's) size and diversity, a decentralized political system and free-market economics would be most likely to unleash the creative potential of the Russian people and Russia's vast natural resources. A loosely confederated Russia -- composed of a European Russia, a Siberian Republic, and a Far Eastern Republic -- would also find it easier to cultivate closer economic relations with its neighbors. Each of the confederated entitles would be able to tap its local creative potential, stifled for centuries by Moscow's heavy bureaucratic hand. In turn, a decentralized Russia would be less susceptible to imperial mobilization.” (Zbigniew Brzezinski,“A Geostrategy for Eurasia”)


Partition is a common theme in imperial planning whether its called apartheid in Israel, federalizing in Iraq, “limited independence” in Kosovo, or “loose confederation” in Russia. It's all the same. Divide and rule; undermine nationalism by destroying the underlying culture and balkanizing the territory. This isn't new. What is amazing, is that Bush's plan is going forward despite 7 years of uninterrupted foreign policy failures. Hubris and self-delusion have a longer shelf-life than anyone could have imagined.

Putin is surrounded by ex-KGB hardliners who have warned him that America cannot be trusted. They have watched while the US has steadily moved into the former-Soviet satellites, pushed NATO to Russia's borders, and precipitated regime change via “color coded” revolutions. They point to Chechen war where US intelligence services trained Chechen insurgents through their ISI surrogates in Pakistan—teaching them how to conduct guerrilla operations in a critical region that provides Russia with access to the western shores of the resource-rich Caspian Basin.


Michel Chossudovsky has done some excellent research on this little-known period of Russian history. In his article “The Anglo-American Military Axis”, he says:

“U.S. covert support to the two main Chechen rebel groups (through Pakistan’s ISI) was known to the Russian government and military. However, it had previously never been made public or raised at the diplomatic level. In November 1999, the Russian Defense Minister, Igor Sergueyev, formally accused Washington of supporting the Chechen rebels. Following a meeting held behind closed doors with Russia’s military high command, Sergueyev declared that:


'The national interests of the United States require that the military conflict in the Caucasus [Chechnya] be a fire, provoked as a result of outside forces", while adding that "the West’s policy constitutes a challenge launched to Russia with the ultimate aim of weakening her international position and of excluding her from geo-strategic areas.'”
In the wake of the 1999 Chechen war, a new "National Security Doctrine" was formulated and signed into law by Acting President Vladimir Putin, in early 2000. Barely acknowledged by the international media, a critical shift in East-West relations had occurred. The document reasserted the building of a strong Russian State, the concurrent growth of the Military, as well as the reintroduction of State controls over foreign capital....The document carefully spelled out what it described as " fundamental threats" to Russia’s national security and sovereignty. More specifically, it referred to "the strengthening of military-political blocs and alliances" [namely GUUAM], as well as to "NATO’s eastward expansion" while underscoring "the possible emergence of foreign military bases and major military presences in the immediate proximity of Russian borders." (Michel Chossudovsky, “The Anglo-American Military Axis”, Global Research)

That's right; there's been a low-grade secret war going on between Russia and the US for over a decade although it is rarely discussed in diplomatic circles. The war in Chechnya is probably less about “succession” and independence, than it is about foreign intervention and imperial overreach.


The same rule applies to the controversy surrounding Kosovo. The Bush administration and its EU clients are trying to fragment Serbia by supporting an initiative for Kosovo “limited independence”.

But why “limited”?

It's because Bush knows that the resolution has no chance of passing the UN Security Council, so the only way to circumvent international law is by issuing a unilateral edict that is promoted in the media as “independence”. By this same standard, Abraham Lincoln should have granted Jefferson Davis “limited independence” and avoided the Civil War altogether.


Author Irina Lebedeva reveals the real motives behind the administration's actions on Kosovo in her article “USA-Russia: Hitting the same Gate, or playing the same game?”

“The North Atlantic alliance (The US and its EU allies) documents indicate that the bloc aims at the “Balkanization” of the post-Soviet space by way of overtaking influence in the territories of the currently frozen conflicts and their follow-up internalization along the Yugoslavian lines are set down in black and white. For example, a special report titled “The New North Atlantic Strategy for the Black Sea Region”, prepared by the German Marshall Fund of the United States on the occasion of the NATO summit, already refers to Black Sea and South Caucasus (Transcaucasia) as a “new Euro-Atlantic borderland plagued by Soviet-legacy conflicts.” And the “region of frozen conflicts is evolving into a functional aggregate on the new border of an enlarging West.” Azerbaijan and Georgia in tandem, the report notes, provide a unique transit corridor for Caspian energy to Europe, as well as an irreplaceable corridor for American-led and NATO to bases and operation theatres in Central Asia and the Greater Middle East.”


Once again, divide and rule; this time writ large for an entire region that is being arbitrarily redrawn to meet the needs of mega-corporations that want to secure “transit corridors for Caspian energy to Europe”. The new Great Game. Brzezinski has called this area a critical “land-bridge” to Eurasia. Others refer to it as a “new Euro-Atlantic borderland”. Whatever one calls it; it is a good illustration of how bloodthirsty Washington mandarins carve up the world to suit their own geopolitical objectives.

Putin has seen enough and he's now moving swiftly to counter US incursions in the region. He's not going to wait until the neocon fantasists affix a bullseye to his back and take aim. In the last few weeks he has withdrawn Russia from the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe Treaty (CFE) and is threatening to redeploy his troops and heavy weaponry to Russia's western-most borders. The move does nothing to enhance Russian security, but it will arouse public concern in Europe and perhaps ignite a backlash against Bush's Missile Defense system.


Russian Navy Admiral Vladimir Masorin also announced this week that Russia will move part of its fleet to Syrian ports where “it will maintain a permanent presence in the Mediterranean. Israeli leaders are in a panic over the announcement claiming that the move will disrupt their “electronic surveillance and air defense centers” thus threatening their national security. Putin intends to go ahead with the plan regardless. Dredging has already begun in the port of Tartus and a dock is being built in the Syrian port of Latakia.

Also, Russian officials are investigating the possibility of building military bases in Serbia and have been invited to discuss the issue with leaders in the Serbian Nationalist Radical Party (SRS) The prospective dialogue is clearly designed to dissuade the US from pursuing its present policy towards Kosovo.


Russia also delivered its first shipment of nuclear fuel to Iran this week which means that the controversial 1,000 watt nuclear plant at Bushehr could be fully operational within three months. Adding insult to injury, Iranian officials announced on Monday their plans to build a second plant in defiance of US orders to halt its nuclear activities.

Also, on Monday, “Russia test-launched a new intercontinental ballistic missile part of a system that can outperform any anti-missile system likely to be deployed” according to Reuters. “The missile was launched from the Tula nuclear-powered submarine in the Barents Sea in the Arctic.”


“The military hardware now on our weapons, and those that will appear in the next few years, will enable our missiles to outperform any anti-missile system, including future systems," Col.-Gen Nikolai Solovtsov was quoted as telling journalists.” (Reuters)

Bush's Missile Defense system has restarted the nuclear arms race. Welcome to the new Cold War.


Finally, Russia Chief of Staff, General Yuri Balyevsky warned:

“A possible launch of a US interceptor missile from Central Europe may provoke a counterattack from intercontinental ballistic missiles....If we suppose that Iran wants to strike the United States , then interceptor missiles which would be launched from Poland will fly towards Russia and the shape and flight trajectory are very similar to ICBMs” (Novosti Russian News Agency)


Balyevsky's scenario of an “accidental” World War 3 is more likely than ever now that Bush is pressing ahead with his plans for Missile Defense. Russia's automated missile warning systems can be triggered automatically when foreign missiles enter Russian air space. Its a dangerous game and potentially fatal every living thing on the planet.

To great extent, the American people have no idea of the reckless policy that is being carried out in their name. The gravity of the proposed Missile Defense system has been virtually ignored by the media and Russia's protests have been dismissed as trivial. But hostilities are steadily growing, military forces and weaponry are being put into place, and the stage is set for a major conflagration. This is every bit as serious as the Cuban Missile Crisis, only this time Russia cannot afford to stand down.
