Zbigniew Brzezinski’s much feared “global political awakening” is in full swing. Revolts in Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia and other countries represent a truly monumental worldwide rallying cry for freedom that threatens to immeasurably damage the agenda for one world government, but only if the successful revolutionaries can prevent themselves from being co-opted by a paranoid and desperate global elite.

STRATFOR ON THE FOURTH PHASE OF AFGHANISTAN

The Fourth Phase of the Afghan War

The fourth phase of the war began in 2009, when U.S. President Barack Obama decided to pursue a more aggressive strategy in Afghanistan. Though the Bush administration had toyed with this idea, it was Obama who implemented it fully. During the 2008 election campaign, Obama asserted that he would pay greater attention to Afghanistan. The Obama administration began with the premise that while the Iraq War was a mistake, the Afghan War had to be prosecuted. It reasoned that unlike Iraq, which had a tenuous connection to al Qaeda at best, Afghanistan was the group’s original base. He argued that Afghanistan therefore should be the focus of U.S. military operations. In doing so, he shifted a strategy that had been in place for 30 years by making U.S. forces the main combatants in the war.

Though Obama’s goals were not altogether clear, they might be stated as follows:

1. Deny al Qaeda a base in Afghanistan.
2. Create an exit strategy from Afghanistan similar to the one in Iraq by creating the conditions for negotiating with the Taliban; make denying al Qaeda a base a condition for the resulting ruling coalition.
3. Begin withdrawal by 2011.

To do this, there would be three steps:

1. Increase the number and aggressiveness of U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
2. Create Afghan security forces under the current government to take over from the Americans.
3. Increase pressure on the Taliban by driving a wedge between them and the population and creating intra-insurgent rifts via effective counterinsurgency tactics.

U.S. strategy in Eurasia and drug production in Afghanistan

In an interview released to French weekly Le Nouvel Observateur [1], Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter’s national security adviser, revealed that the CIA had secretly operated in Afghanistan to undermine the regime in Kabul since July 1979, that is to say, five months before the Soviet invasion. Indeed, it was on July 3, 1979, that President Carter signed the first directive to provide secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. That very day the Polish-born U.S. strategist wrote a note to President Carter in which he explained that this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention. And this is precisely what happened the following month of December. In the same interview, Brzezinski recalls that, when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, he wrote another note to President Carter in which he expressed his opinion that at that point the USA had the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam War.

In Brezinski’s opinion, this intervention was unsustainable for Moscow and in time would have led to the collapse of the Soviet Empire. In fact, the drawn out Soviet war in support of the communist regime in Kabul further contributed to the weakening of the Soviet Union, already engaged in a severe internal crisis, encompassing both political- bureaucratic and socio-economic aspects. As we now well know, the Soviet withdrawal from the Afghan theatre left behind an exhausted country, whose political situation, economy and geo-strategic assets were extremely weak. Indeed, after less than 10 years from the Teheran revolution, the entire region had been completely destabilized exclusively to the advantage of the western system. The parallel and unrestrained decline of the Soviet Union, accelerated by the Afghan adventure, and, afterwards in the nineties, by the dismemberment of the Yugoslav Federation (a sort of buffer state between the Western and Soviet blocks) changed the balance of power to favour U.S. expansionism in the Eurasian region.

CARTER PROVOKES SOVIET INVASION

According to this 1998 interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski, the CIA's intervention in Afghanistan preceded the 1979 Soviet invasion. This decision of the Carter Administration in 1979 to intervene and destabilise Afghanistan is the root cause of Afghanistan's destruction as a nation.

M.C.
The CIA's Intervention in Afghanistan
Interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski,
President Jimmy Carter's National Security Adviser

Le Nouvel Observateur, Paris, 15-21 January 1998
Posted at globalresearch.ca 15 October 2001

Question: 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.

COUNTERINSURGENCY OUT THE WINDOW

"Who are we to seriously be preaching [such] a crusade?" he asked. "We have a financial sector that is voraciously greedy and exploitative, to put it mildly. We have a Congress which is not immune to special interests. And we have an electoral system that is based largely on private donations which precipitate expectations of rewards. The notion of us going to the Afghans and preaching purity is comical... I think we should just quit that stuff."

Brzezinski also expressed reservations about a counter-insurgency strategy that is too reliant on bolstering national institutions, noting that there is "a very complex" mix of different ethnic and tribal groups that have historically opposed foreign or even central authorities.
"I think building up local forces, relying on the loyalties that prevail on the local level... makes much more sense given the fact that Afghanistan is a multi-ethnic society,

TALE OF TWO UKRAINES

clipped from: strangemaps.wordpress.com


The 2004 ‘Orange Revolution’, in which pro-western candidate Viktor Yushchenko successfully contested the rigged results of the presidential election that was ‘won’ by his pro-Russian opponent Viktor Yanukovich, seemed to place the Ukraine firmly in the western camp.

Ukrainian politics has however seen several reversals of fortune since that time, proving that Ukraine is unique among the former Soviet republics: pro-western and pro-Russian sentiments are almost completely in balance.

This map shows which of both Viktors was the victor in each of Ukraine’s regions in the (contested) November 2004 presidential elections. Each candidate has won in a remarkably contiguous area - Yushchenko winning the northwestern half of the country, Yanukovich the southeastern part.

In the years immediately following the Soviet Union’s collapse, Russia was too weak to prevent what it qualifies as EU and NATO ‘encirclement’ (an old Russian geopolitical worry). But now, a resurgent Russia flush with oil money insists on checking what it sees as further encroachment by the EU and(especially) the US.

The Ukraine however, with 45 million inhabitants and about the size of France, is firmly within Russia’s Near Abroad. Its east is ethnically mainly Russian (Ukrainian nationalism tends to be a western thing), and Russia has strategic interests in the Crimea (Russian until 1954, when it was transferred to the Ukraine, but still home to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet). The country itself seems divided on whether it is an eastern outpost of the west, or a western outpost of the east.





Both Moscow and the West are eager to have the populous, and potentially prosperous Ukraine in their camp. Will the fault line running through the Ukraine become the front line of a Second Cold War?

DEMOCRAT IMPERIALISM

clipped from Voltaire
He may be a muslim. In the US they want to hide it, in the rest of the world they want to promote it.

Policy of Obama is more aggressive, more militaristic and more catastrophic

He is a puppet of the Trilateral Commission and of Zbigniew Brzezinski.

A clique of bankers. They ran the Carter administration. This same group has groomed another puppet

This time with more preparation, more preparation. A left wing demogue, who promises hope and change, but represents policies that are qualitatively worse and he can deliver Europe. As expendable assets.

Not wars in the middle east, but wars on a greater scale. The center of power is not Iran its Moscow and Beijing. Smash Russia and china, to let the Anglo American hegemony go on for another hundred years.

A puppet of finance capital of David Rockefeller, George Soros and this group. Extreme austerity, savage reductions in the standard of living, emmiseration and impoverishment of the US

Global showdown with Russia and China. They need left cover. Right wingers dont know how to attack this. Communist or Muslim. He may have been a Muslim. His fathers were more devoted to whiskey than Islam.

Is he bi sexual, did he smoke crack cocaine. It is imperative that our leaders have a unknown, blackmailable criminal history.

A puppet of the worse circles of imperialism. More effective, more clever, but more insane.

Bomb Iran. Youre too weak, too isoloated, too bankrupt, too hated. Iran at war with Russia. Example, Afghan vs Russia.

Bomb Syria. Make a deal with Syria. There is an important Russian naval base in Tartus. Get the Russians out of Tartus

Instead of having Muslims the targets, have them as cannon fodder. For the project against Russia.

Take Chinese Turkestan. There is a muslim minority there. The Uigyrs. Have them fight and die in some kind of insurrection. There is an insurrection in Tibet.



Forget the target list that you have known, the target list is getting bigger.

Take Sudan. Arab country, arab league. Why is Sudan being targeted? What is the story with Darfur. Why are they doing that. Are they really concerned about a humanitarian emergency. No. They are concerned because 7% of China's oil comes from sudan. They are looking for a pretext to go into Sudan, overthrow Bashir and cut off that oil going to Sudan. Gulf of Aden and pirates. Who is going after the pirates. China and India. Us with the best Navy in the world, we can do nothing. There is a double game here. Not only to control the Indian Ocean sea route and the oil going to China and India, but also to shut off the tanker trade out of the Persian Gulf and ship that oil by pipeline to the Mediterrranean Sea.

Will the US attack Iran. No. The US and Brittish will not. You cant exclude some Israeli crazy.

There is an attack that is going right now. Muslim with 160 million people with nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them.

During the campaign. Obama said that he wanted to have the unilateral bombing of Northwest Pakistan. All of the candidates said no. And now the US is doing what Obama demanded.

The US, NAto and the Afghans troops are planning to invade Pakistan across the Afghan border. why. They want to destroy the Pakistan government. The goal is to destroy Pakistan. Iraq in threee parts. Pakistan into at least four parts: Sindh, Punjab, Boluchistan, Pushunistan, even Waziristan.

Thats the goal. Why. It is a potential ally of China. It's a potential ally of China. It's traditionally friendly to China and under conditions of world crisis, Pakistan would gravitate back to China. It's Plus oil routes. Gwadar shipping LNG from Turkestan and the pipeline that goes through the pass.



New hit list: Sudan and Pakistan. Iran is now to be an ally to be used against Russia.

To the neocons. You are fools, you are bunglers, you are so obsessed with Israel and the Persian Gulf, Iraq and Iran that you have lost the big picture, Russia, China.

India is an asset in that regard. The Mumbai attacks is the roll out of this new policy. It has several goals, but one is to put the Hindu fundamentalists in power. As long as the Congress Party is in power, India will be non aligned at best and with Russia at worst. The Hindu fundamentalist are truly madmen, much like the Zionists. In fact, there is a good deal of collaboration between the two.

There has been a summit of China and Japan. Japan, would it become a staging area for the kinds of destabilization of China that Brezezinski is planning. Japan just said no. The defense minister said chaos in China would be the worst possible outcome for Japan.

Taiwan is saying no. They voted for the more reasonable party. The old KMT is back in power. They want good relations with the mainland. Everyone in the world is now choosing sides.

The point of having Obama is that you have the same old imperialism but with a facelift. Cosmetic surgery. A black face named Hussein. That's how you know how bad it is. They are willing to toss out 400 years of racism. Racism is very useful, but they have to give it up.

One goal is to have that face for Africa. The goal is to kick China out and to deprive it of the oil. DRC, Laurent Nkunda, Sudan. Deprive it of Oil, raw material, minerals. Ultimately, isolate and encircle China and then reach a point where China would have no where to turn for oil except the Russian oil wells in eastern Siberia.

The end product is to play China against Russia, get rid of both of them and then the US and Brittish can settle in for another hundred years of domination.

There is also an angle for Europe. With Bush, McCain, the policy is discredited, no one like the US. We cannot get any traction. We cant get any help in Iraq or even in Afghanistan.

With this new face you can get throngs and throngs of Europeans, young dupes. His big trip to Germany was no accident. It had a very definate purpose. Europe as a tool against Russia. Russia and Germany over oil

NATO expansion. Reagan had an agreement not to even go into East German. This is a bilateral policy. Clinton started it.

Headed for a polish missile crisis. Going to be worse. Elements in Poland, czech Republic, even elements in Lithuania. There is a forward technical of that right in Lithuania, right on Russia's border.

What is the purpose of that. The ability to have a first strike, surprise attack to destroy the Russia nuclear deterent, on the ground, and then the second strike launch by the Russians can somehow be supressed by these missiles these missiles in Poland. It is a step toward WWW III

Another angle that goes with it, the independance of Kosovo under what amounts to a criminal organization. Designed as an affront to Russia.

why the capture of Karadik, Why now. To inflame relations with Russia.

Why attack Russia through our proxy, Georgia? This is a full strategic envelopment. A world wide strategy. Already being implemented in the US.

Bush and Cheney are gone. They are gone, They are not even lame ducks they are gone. They are the grounds keepers, the janitors. Power has passed to the principals committee, the leading government ministers. Rice, Gates, Paulsen, Admiral Mullen. These people are bureacrats. They dont have policies. They are now carrying out policies of Brzinsky.

No attack on Iran, make a deal with North Korea. Cheney almost had a heart attack. This was a Rice project.

Attack Pakistan, get ready to attack Sudan, zimbabwe, Burma. It's done under Humanitarian considerations. It's not bin Laden, Al-Qaeda. Pakistan is the exception. In most of these places its human rights, go back to Carter and Clinton. Imperialism with left wing slogans.

The neocons picked on weak states. Russia and China can and will defend themselves. The neocon game is over but they had limits to their insanity, but under Obama the insanity is unlimited.

ENCIRCLEMENT OF RUSSIA IS A BIPARTISAN POLICY

The Georgian upstart overplayed his hand, reflecting divisions among Western states on strategy in the Caucasus.

The US has always pursued a 'Grand Area' strategy. In this design, whole areas of the planet are presumed to be under its command. American planners had an unprecedented opportunity when the USSR broke down

Contrary to some opinion, the placing of 'lily-pads' in the Caucasus and Central Asia did not begin under Bush or after 9/11, but under Clinton in 1997. Encirclement of Russia is a bipartisan policy.

The US political class is less divided. McCain is staking out the most belligerent territory, but Obama is catching up rapidly. His foreign policy advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski has compared Putin to Hitler and complained that Western access to crucial oil pipelines will be cut off by Russia's action - which suggests that any administration that takes his advice would be far more aggressive toward Russia than the Bush administration has been.

Obama wants to pour troops into Afghanistan and shore up the Central Asian frontier. Brzezinski has already supplied the rationale for this in The Grand Chessboard: "Eurasia is the world's axial super continent. 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

Eurasia accounts for 75% of the world's population, 60% of its GNP, and 75% of its energy resources. Collectively, Eurasia's potential power overshadows even America's."

In this account, control of the Middle East is a secondary aim.

You may recall Obama's sabre-rattling toward Pakistan

It would seem that US control of its Pakistani ally is tenuous, and that the US has to threaten it with a bit of ultra-violence to keep it in line.
So Obama was being perfectly realistic about what he might be expected to do.

In his most recent book, Second Chance, Brzezinski offers a future president the purported means to reverse America's declining power. One of his recommendations is to pay more attention to Russia, disrupt its increasingly close relationship with China and make a concerted effort to contain Putin's efforts to restore Russian power. Brzezinski, I suspect, is speaking for a lot of people in the American establishment. So, don't buy the line that Obama is just tail-coating McCain when he talks tough about Russian aggression. It is an integral component of the global 'Grand Area' strategy of a significant component of US power.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

One of the most strident anti-Russian voices was that of former US national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, a supporter of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. In comments to the British Guardian and the German Die Welt, he compared Putin to Hitler and Stalin, and the Russian intervention in Georgia to the Soviet invasion of Finland in 1939. “Georgia is to an extent the Finland of today, both morally and strategically,”

Brzezinski pointed to the central role of oil, particularly the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline built over the last decade with US support to bring oil from the region to the world market, bypassing Russian territory. “If Georgia no longer has its sovereignty, it means... that the West is cut off from the Caspian Sea and Central Asia,”

The strategists of US imperialism have broader interests than oil, however. Brzezinski himself has long sought the breakup, not only of the old Soviet Union, but of the Russian republic which comprises the bulk of the land mass of the former USSR. As the Guardian observed Monday, “The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline is only a minor element in a much larger strategic equation: an attempt, sponsored largely by the United States but eagerly subscribed to by several of its new ex-Soviet allies, to reduce every aspect of Russian influence throughout the region, whether it be economic, political, diplomatic or military.”

SENDING MORE TROOPS TO AFGHANISTAN?

---

Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski is not on board

---

Brzezinski admitted his own role in funding Afghanistan's Mujahadeen in 1979, thereby "increasing the probability" that the Soviets would invade a tough, demoralizing, mountainous theater for combat.

---

"I think we're literally running the risk of unintentionally doing what the Russians did.

---

the Soviets were able to delude themselves that they had a loyal army of communist-sympathizers who would transform the country

---

the conduct of military operations "with little regard for civilian casualties" may accelerate the negative trend in local public opinion

---

He believes Europe should bribe Afghan farmers not to produce poppies used for heroin

---

the tribal warlords can be bought off with bribes, with the endgame being the isolation of Al-Qaeda from a Taliban that is "not a united force, not a world-oriented terrorist movement, but a real Afghan phenomenon."

---

"Well, if McCain is president and if his Secretary of State is Joe Lieberman and his Secretary of Defense is [Rudolph] Giuliani, we will be moving towards the World War IV

---

Asked who he would like to see in a potential Obama cabinet

---

I would say Hagel and [Sen. Dick] Lugar would be very good Republicans [for Obama]."

---

Sen. Joe Biden as a potential Secretary of State

---

"keep [Secretary of Defense Bob] Gates in the job for a few months."

---

because of the very complexity of the issues, for solutions to become polarized and more extreme

---

Republicans move toward neocon-ish formulas, and Democrats [follow] idealistically escapist formulas. In either case you don't end up with the necessary mix of idealism and realism."

BLATANT FACT FROM VOLTAIRENET

Brzezinski confirms that the United States can organise attacks in their own territory

Auditioned on February 1st, 2007 by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, the former National Security Adviser read a statement the terms of which had been carefully chosen.

He indicated that : " a plausible scenario for a military collision with Iran involves

1. Iraqi failure to meet the benchmarks,
2. followed by accusations of Iranian responsibility for the failure,
3. then by some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the US blamed on Iran,
4. culminating in a ‘defensive’ US military action against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan".
   

Two Interpretations

• the former National Security Adviser tried to beat the neoconservatives to it and to cast doubt in advance on any circumstance which would lead to the war.

in addition,

• to suggest that in case of collision with the war partisans, he could reopen the September 11th file.

In any case, Thierry Meyssan’s hypothesis - According to which the September 11th attacks would have been perpetrated by a Military-Industrial Complex faction to provoke the Afghanistan and Iraq wars - Leaves suddenly the taboo domain to be discussed publicly by Washington elites.

MORE BLATANT FACTS

APPARENTLY IT HASN'T WORKED OUT THE WAY ZBIG ENVISIONED

And now let's hear from the man who started it all by arming mujaheddin in Afghanistan (1977) to prompt, and then to counter, a Soviet invasion.

Who wrote two books promoting the global empire - one repeatedly calling for a "pearl harbor" to soften up public opinion (The Grand Chessboard, 1996)

Former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski's issued a damning indictment of the Bush Regime in his testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 1, 2007, which you probably did not see as the United States no longer has a media--only a government propaganda ministry.

Brzezinski damned the Bush Regime's war in Iraq as

• "a historic, strategic, and moral calamity."

Brzezinski damned the war as

• "driven by Manichean impulses and imperial hubris."

He damned the war for

• "intensifying regional instability" and for "undermining America's global legitimacy."

Brzezinski told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that

• "the final destination on this downhill track is likely to be a head-on conflict with Iran and with much of the world of Islam."

Brzezinski predicts

• "some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the U.S. blamed on Iran; culminating in a 'defensive' U.S. military action against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan."

Brzezinski concludes his testimony with the statement that it is

• "time for the Congress to assert itself."

Of course, Zbig is a realist and what he could have never figured on was that the idiot George W. Bush would let the neocons came through the back door of the Republican party, captured the flag, take over the government (and of particular importance, the Pentagon) and implement their destructive “clash of civilizations” agenda and its attendant Straussian domestic social project.

Jacobin neocons are who are “rigid” with the tension they create “that shatter” the system. Out of control neocons, who are Straussian radicals embracing a reformulated version of Leon Trotsky’s “permanent revolution” with an unhealthy dose of Zionism, who (at least in the rarified air of their leadership) are reactionary Jews espousing the “clash of civilizations” dogma targeting Muslim society and culture

* Brzezinski and Tim Osman (Osama bin Laden) discuss the string of Jihads that Zbigniew never regrets
