Dear cj & rn, Today I'd like to share some unusually candid interviews with our illustrious imperial leaders. These quotes and interviews illustrate, in their own words, the depth of their Machievellian depravity, and make it perfectly clear that a cynical destabilization agenda for Yugoslavia is quite within the scope of their standard operating procedures. Some of the material below is excerpted due to length. As usual with forwards - if you like one of the pieces, and would like to "be in the loop", consider subscribing to the original list on which it appeared. (Then you can share the best gems with us!) The first piece is an interview with Brzezinski regarding US/CIA programs in Afghanistan "6 months before the Soviet intervention". Brzezinski, in case anyone doesn't know, is a _very senior US policy official - what he says, taking into account that he's saying it for publication, is about as close to the "voice of the NWO" as one could imagine. regards, rkm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: •••@••.••• Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 00:28:44 EDT Subject: More on Afghanistan To: •••@••.••• For those who are interested in the Afghanistan "trap," as described by Brzezinski, Bill Blum has provided a translation of the original interview in which this startling admission appeared. Le Nouvel Observateur (France), Jan 15-21, 1998, p. 76 Q: The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated in his memoirs, From the Shadows, that American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan 6 months before the Soviet intervention. In this period you were the national security adviser to President Carter. You therefore played a role in this affair. Is that correct? Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention. Q: Despite this risk, you were an advocate of this covert action. But perhaps you yourself desired this Soviet entry into war and looked to provoke it? B: It isn't quite that. We didn't push the Russians to intervene, but we knowingly increased the probability that they would. Q: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they [entendaient] to fight against a secret [ingérence] of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn't believe them. However, there was a basis of truth. You don't regret anything today? B: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire. Q: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic [intégrisme], having given arms and advice to future terrorists? B: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war? Q: Some stirred-up Moslems? But it has been said and repeated: Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today. B: Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn't a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries. ======================= rkm: In this short interview, there is much we could usefully examine. Brzezinski's regional angle on Islam, for example, could be contrasted with the kultur-kampf paradigm of his colleague Sam Huntington... providing a stereo perspective of what the NWO has in mind for global management. Huntington's rheotoric about natural civilization boundaries is revealed by Brzezinski to be only rhetoric, while both agree that a regional approach to management is favored. In general, Huntington spins the rhetoric, and sources like Brzezinski reveal some of the underlying, and more honest, geopolitical thinking. Of the many directions we could go with this interview, I suggest that the following points are especially relevant to our current discussion topics: 1) The intentional setting of traps to achieve desired outcomes. 2) The explicit lack of concern regarding the pawns in the game, in particular, the lack of regret about the Taliban outcome. 3) The admission that actual plans and goals, involving top levels of government, are routinely kept secret for years - covered over by PR lies. 1) B: "Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it?" If the "Afghan trap" was seen by our esteemed policy-makers as an excellent and successful strategy - as indeed it was from their perspective - then isn't it reasonable to assume that same strategy might be deployed elsewhere? The US at first encouraged Serbia to use force... is this evidence that the US was hoping Milosovec would bring order, or evidence that a trap was being set? Given the history of the Balkans, the use of force by Serbia could only lead to polarization, reprisals, counter-reprisals, and the whole scenario which has in fact unfolded. There's no way top US planners could have been so stupid as to think a rampaging Serbia was going to lead to stability. When you consider as well the anti-Serb media slant throughout all of this, the early recognition of Croatia, the military advisors sent to Croatia, and the introduction of KLA terrorists into Kosovo - the circumstantial evidence for a destabilization plan, enabled by one of Brzezinski's traps, makes a rather strong case. Also, in the category of circumstantial evidence, we have the IMF's destruction of the Serbian econommy, and we have the choice of targets in the current bombing - hitting at the basic economic infrastructures of the nation. *=> With all of this evidence, together with Brzezinski's explicit admissions about US covert tactics, it seems to me that a Regional Destabilization Plan deserves to be tagged "the most likely scenario, based on all available evidence" for what's going on in Yugoslavia. 2) B: "What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?" This statement is reminescent of another by Kissinger, when asked why the US had sold out the Kurds (I forget which such occassion it was). He replied "You can't make omelettes without breaking eggs". What both of these gentlemen are telling us is that there are no observable limits to their callous Machiavellian schemes. Despite all the rhetoric about saving the noble Aghans from the evil Ruskies - rhetoric which mobilized American moral outrage at the time - all the while the Aghans were just pawns in the game, and their eventual fate was of no concern to our leaders. Use them, abuse them, and then discard them... this is how the NWO "makes omelletes". The role of the Taliban could hardly be more parallel with that of the KLA in Kosovo: The KLA serves a US objective; they're an extremist armed group; their reign in Kosovo is likely to be a military dictatorship. Not only that, but a KLA regime, just like that of the Taliban, will be regionally destabilizing, making imperial management easier under the kultur-kampf paradigm. 3) B: " According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise..." For nearly 20 years, he tells us, a major conspiracy was successfully kept secret from the American people and the world. There were changes of administration, and changes of personnel in the various agencies invovled, and yet nothing leaked out of the mainstream media. People at the highest level of government were in the know, along with who-knows-how-many field agents, support personnel, administrative staff, media insiders, etc. etc. There is an "official version of history" and then there is reality - the discrepency is called "conspiracy" - and by some means or the other, such conspiracies can be kept secret successfully for decades. The Afghan Trap is only one of many that have come to light and been well documented, if not admitted outright as in this case. And yet, most of my liberal friends continue to dismiss any anslysis - and even direct evidence - which indicates conspiracies are going on... are they blind or do they not _want to see? -rkm --- In the next piece, we have another interview with an elite policy-maker - in economics rather than geopolitics. Again we see a clever mind attached to a depraved morality... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 16 May 1999 01:20:53 -0400 To: <•••@••.•••>, <•••@••.•••> From: David Lewit <•••@••.•••> Behold the brand new Treasury Secretary-designate, Lawrence "Larry" Summers, tagged this week to replace Bob Rubin, as he describes (in an internal memo) central tenets of his global economic vision. [The Liberators of the following Outrage were the intrepid researchers over at International Trade Information Service (E-mail: •••@••.••• and •••@••.•••) and they should be Commended - ed] "DATE: December 12, 1991 "TO: Distribution "FR: Lawrence H. Summers "Subject: GEP "'Dirty' Industries: Just between you and me, shouldn't the World Bank be encouraging MORE migration of the dirty industries to the LDCs [Less Developed Countries]? I can think of three reasons: "1) The measurements of the costs of health impairing pollution depends on the foregone earnings from increased morbidity and mortality. From this point of view a given amount of health impairing pollution should be done in the country with the lowest cost, which will be the country with the lowest wages. I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to that. "2) The costs of pollution are likely to be non-linear as the initial increments of pollution probably have very low cost. I've always though that under-populated countries in Africa are vastly UNDER-polluted, their air quality is probably vastly inefficiently low compared to Los Angeles or Mexico City. Only the lamentable facts that so much pollution is generated by non-tradable industries (transport, electrical generation) and that the unit transport costs of solid waste are so high prevent world welfare enhancing trade in air pollution and waste. "3) The demand for a clean environment for aesthetic and health reasons is likely to have very high income elasticity. The concern over an agent that causes a one in a million change in the odds of prostrate cancer is obviously going to be much higher in a country where people survive to get prostrate cancer than in a country where under 5 mortality is is 200 per thousand. Also, much of the concern over industrial atmosphere discharge is about visibility impairing particulates. These discharges may have very little direct health impact. Clearly trade in goods that embody aesthetic pollution concerns could be welfare enhancing. While production is mobile the consumption of pretty air is a non-tradable. "The problem with the arguments against all of these proposals for more pollution in LDCs (intrinsic rights to certain goods, moral reasons, social concerns, lack of adequate markets, etc.) could be turned around and used more or less effectively against every Bank proposal for liberalization." </end of interview> In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.

Consider the following tongue twister: "...measurements of the costs of health impairing pollution depends on the foregone earnings from increased morbidity and mortality..." What he's saying is that if someone dies from mercury poisoning, for example, then the "cost" is equal to their lost earnings - human suffering is of no consequence. If it's a low-wage third-world person, then the cost is small, whereas if it's a first-world person the cost is greater. For this reason, he's heartbroken that LA's air pollution can't be exported to Borneo. In Brzezinski's logic, the minor evil of the Taliban could be ignored in the face of the greater good of Soviet destabilization - in Summers' logic, human suffering not only can be ignored, but it has _zero cost. Even Machiavelli was not this callous... to find this kind of ice-cold mentality in history one must look back to Nazi Germany, where the "cost" of liquidated Jews was equal to the tranport fuel and poison gas expended, or to the worst days of Stalinism, where "uneeded" Georgian farmers were left to starve so Stalin could get on with his modernization plans. These are the kind of people who are in charge of globalization's agenda, who set policy for the IMF and for NATO. Do I exaggerate when I refer to the globalization regime as global fascism? I'm not trying to be alarmist, I'm simply trying to accurately classify the brand of demons we're dealing with. -rkm --- Continuing our "elite mentality" theme, the next piece includes comments from Madeline Albright - I still think of her as our UN representative, is she really Secretary of State?? Prior to that however, are some excerpts from an interview with NATO commander Gen. Wesley Kanne Clark. Can you imagine it?... someone more hawkish than the Pentagon!... where did they dig him up?? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 16 May 1999 19:54:54 -0700 To: TiM GW Bulletins <•••@••.•••> From: Bob Djurdjevic <•••@••.•••> Subject: S99-81, Day 55, Update 1 (May 17; 0:15AM EDT) - A Special TiM GW Bulletin on NATO's FROM PHOENIX, ARIZONA The Special Truth in Media Global Watch Bulletins on NATO's war on Serbia, such as the one enclosed below, can also be accessed at our Web site: www.truthinmedia.org which is being updated throughout the day.

Issue S99-81, Day 55, Update 1 --------------------------------------- May 17, 1999; 0:15AM EDT HEADLINES Washington 1. Flying Coffins? Apache Helicopters on Hold; Gen. Clark Impatient to Kill More Troops New York 2. "Albright at War: Madeleine's War" (Time Magazine); Regime Change at Home Also Needed (Her Mentor) Douglas 3. "Mexico's Kosovo:" Illegal Immigrants Flood Arizona Phoenix 4. Popova's Historical Essay Criticized by Some Russian-Americans -------------------- 1. Flying Coffins? Apache Helicopters on Hold; Gen. Clark Impatient to Kill More Troops BRUSSELS, May 16 - NATO leaflets dropped into Kosovo warn Serbian troops [rkm: and Kosovo civilians], "Don't Wait For Me," showing a picture of an Apache helicopter swooping down on a tank. As it turns out, it could be a long wait. For, the Pentagon brass, fearing the Apaches may end up as flying coffins, are getting cold feet about using them against the tough Serb air defenses. In a behind-the-scenes struggle over military strategy and tactics, the Pentagon is blocking a plan by the NATO commander, Gen. Wesley Kanne Clark, to send Apache helicopters into combat against Serbian troops, the New York Times reported today (May 16). So Clark's impatience to waste American lives, not just those of Serb civilians, is yet another proof that he deserves a front row seat at an upcoming war crimes trial. Seeking to increase NATO's firepower, Clark has pressed the Pentagon to authorize "live fire" tests by shooting at targets in Kosovo. But he still has not received permission to do so, as Pentagon has balked, fearing that the mission is too risky. Two of the helicopters have already crashed during training missions, killing two pilots. ---<snip>--- The Apache squadron is commanded by Brig. Gen. Richard A. Cody, one of the Army's most respected helicopter officers, whose Apaches blasted two clusters of Iraqi early-warning radars during the Gulf War, firing Hellfire missiles and 30-millimeter guns. But the mission in Kosovo is far more complex and dangerous, the New York Times warns. Serbian troops are armed with SA-7 shoulder-fired missiles, antiaircraft artillery, and SAM surface-to-air missiles - all of which pose a major threat to helicopters. ---<snip>--- 3. "Albright at War: Madeleine's War" (Time Magazine); Regime Change at Home Also Needed (Her Mentor) NEW YORK, May 17 - Madeleine Albright is the cover girl in today's issue of the Time magazine. "Albright at War," reads the headline of a feature story titled "Madeleine's War" on the inside pages. Anyone still recall what the "MacNamara's war" and how it ended? ---<snip>--- "It was early in Clinton's first term, back when she was U.N. ambassador during the first showdown with Serbia over Bosnia, that Albright showed her stripes on foreign policy. At a 1993 meeting with Joint Chiefs Chairman Colin Powell--who gave his name to the doctrine that the military should be used only after a clear political goal has been set, and then only with decisive force--she challenged the general: 'What's the point of having this superb military that you're always talking about if we can't use it'?" --- TiM Ed.: Which was the line which had earned Albright the "Halfbright" epithet from TiM. For, her answer was about as bright as that of a criminal saying, "what's the point of having this superb gun if you don't use it to kill people?" --- "Thus arose the Albright Doctrine that has held sway since her ascension to Secretary of State: a tough-talking, semimuscular interventionism that believes in using force--including limited force such as calibrated air power, if nothing heartier is possible--to back up a mix of strategic and moral objectives." The Times also noted that the most scathing recent criticism came from Peter Krogh, Albright's "close friend and mentor when he was dean of Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service during her tenure there." Krogh wrote two weeks ago in a Wall Street Journal OpEd piece, "I cannot recall a time when our foreign policy was in less competent hands. The bombing of Iraq has only entrenched Saddam Hussein's power. The bombing of Serbia has likewise entrenched Milosevic and contributed to a refugee debacle. To make matters worse, these involvements have come at the expense of America's primary strategic interests: integrating Russia and China into the international system." ---<snip>--- [TiM ed:] What is happening in Serbia today is not just a "Slavic" event. It is a criminal assault by NATO on HUMANITY and SOVEREIGNTY. Which is why volunteers from New York, to Texas, to California, to China, to Russia, to Sweden, to Germany... are willing to do their part in standing up to global tyranny. ---<snip>--- ---------------------- rkm: Albright completes our little triage of elite depravity. Once again, we see ice-cold logic, where human suffering is too unimportant to even mention - people and nations and public opinion are pieces to be moved around a chess board in pursuit of elite objectives. These people are not themselves the elite, they are hirelings of the elite, and Clinton is in that same category. They are hired _because of their lack of human values, _because of their ice-cold logic, and _because of their ability to lie as necessary, depending on the audience they're addressing. These are the qualities that get high marks on the NWO interview form. How can anyone believe such people when they say they're pursuing human rights in Kosovo? I bet, in private, they get quite a chuckle from the phrase "humanitarian bombing". Big Lie, Bigger Lie, Biggest Lie. Goebbels lives on. Innocents like Peter Krogh don't have a clue as to what's going on: "I cannot recall a time when our foreign policy was in less competent hands. The bombing of Iraq has only entrenched Saddam Hussein's power. The bombing of Serbia has likewise entrenched Milosevic and contributed to a refugee debacle. To make matters worse, these involvements have come at the expense of America's primary strategic interests: integrating Russia and China into the international system." By calling Albright "incompetent", he shows a complete misunderstanding of elite objectives. By saying the "only" result of Desert Storm was entrenching Saddam, he shows blindness to the obvious: the primary and intended result of Desert Storm (and ensuing sanctions) has been the destruction of Iraq and genocide against its people. Saddam is central to that strategy - if he didn't exist we'd need to hire him. In fact - we did hire him - in the sense that we supported him during the decade-long Iran-Iraq war, providing him with intelligence data and military technology, while selling him all the goodies that we now call "weapons of mass destruction". Ditto Milosevic. Krogh talks of a "refugee debacle", as if that were some kind of failure of policy. He'd never allow himself to see the obvious: in the short term the refugees provide good TV footage, and are blamed not on Albright's policy but on the Serbs; in the long term, the clearing of Kosovo gives NATO a chance to fashion the new regime to their own liking, and assure the security of the various mining and pipeline ventures on the agenda. Far from causing an "incompetent debacle", Albright gets top marks from her elite bosses. Krogh's assumptions about America's "strategic interests" are equally naive. "Integration" of Russia and China into the "international system" is actually a correct prase, but he has no idea how that phrase is interpreted by NWO planners. One does not just integrate, willy nilly - each nation and each region must first accept its proper role in the New World _Order. (See: Huntington, "Master Plan for the NWO", also known as "The Clash of Civilizations".) China would like to integrate as a sovereign regional power - but that is not to be. It is specifically contrary to US strategic interests, as is made explicit in Foreign Affairs, March/April 1997. China must first accept, voluntarily or by force, a subservient role in the Order. Its protestations over NATO bombing - which Krogh attributes to an Albright blunder - is actually a necessary step in grinding them down. Again, Albright gets high marks, and Krogh isn't even aware of the grading system. In the case of Russia, the evidence is so overwhelming that I am truly amazed anyone still believes the rhetoric. The rhetoric would have you believe the West wishes to modernize Russia and integrate it peacefully into the global economy. Meanwhile, everything the IMF and the West do has the effect of destabilizing, impoverishing, and desroying. Perhaps the first round or two of IMF actions could be interpreted as misjudgements, but the pattern goes on and on. How can a former "dean of Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service", in what appears to be a sincere interview, show such utter lack of comprehension of the most basic features of US and policy and the globalization agenda? Why do so many people have trouble seeing the Emperor's New Clothes for what they obviously are? rkm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================== •••@••.••• a political discussion forum. crafted in Ireland by rkm (Richard K.
