RETURN OF THE COLD WAR

As we enter the eighties, the international power brokers have managed once again to propel the world into a violent encounter which threatens to grow beyond the bounds of Iran and Afghanistan and possibly involve the whole world, as occurred in 1914-18 and again in 1939-45. "It's Cold War Again," blared the front page of the London Daily Mirror, a tabloid that is bought by nearly 4 million people every day. The paper claimed that a cold war between the West and the Soviet Union had begun because of the the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and President Carter's threat that the West's response was going to involve more than notes of protest.

There is, of course, the greater danger, that this cold war could evolve into a hot war between superpowers, because of the generally unsettled condition, not just in that part of the world, but in all parts of the world, due to economic upheavals and financial and energy crises brought on by the international power brokers. In the troubled Middle East there is the constant confrontation between immigrating Israelis and indigenous Arabs. Also, Iran is under mob rule with no responsible government; Turkey is in turmoil with terrorism and Shiite rebellion ever present; Pakistan is trembling between Moslem theocracy and authoritarian autocracy. Devoid of propaganda, there is one hard fact which must be understood: The Soviet Union has always demanded that all of its neighboring nations have what it considers to be "stable governments." It used this argument in taking over Latvia, Estonia, Poland, East Germany and the nations of Eastern Europe. It once invaded Iran on this same pretext, but our government under President Eisenhower was not as patient as our government under President Carter, and the Soviets retired from Azerbaijan, not a shot having been fired. Now, however, two of Russia's neighbors do not have "stable" governments: Iran and Afghanistan. Regarding Iran, there is a deal in the works, a deal concerning Iranian oil for Russia, and Iranian millions for the International Bankers. So Iran can wait. But, to create a greater atmosphere of crisis (which is expedient for the international power brokers), an invasion of Afghanistan seemed appropriate. Under the excuse of creating a "stable" government in Afghanistan, Moscow had put one of its own puppets in as dictator. But he wasn't able to quell the disturbances made by the minority dissidents. So the Soviets send some 45,000 troops in to occupy the land and to install another Communist puppet who would "maintain stability," even if it took half a million Soviet troops to do it.

But now comes the next step in crisis creation: When Afghanistan is a part of the Soviet bloc, then the next neighbor with an "unstable government" will be Pakistan. Now, ever since the time of the Czar Peter the Great, Russia has had a dream -- a dream of having a land corridor from Russia proper all the way to the Arabian Sea, and thus a gateway into the Indian Ocean. So, Russia wants not just Afghanistan, but Pakistan as well. And the West has promised to protect Pakistan, just as Western Europe promised to protect Poland in 1939 and thus causing World War II. In fact, AP reported on Dec. 31, 1979: "National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski said Sunday that the United States has assured Pakistan of U.S. aid -- including the use of armed force -- should the Soviet action in Afghanistan widen to include that neighboring nation."

But why such an about face on the part of Carter and the Trilateralists? From friendly collaboration with the Communists to threats of possible military confrontation within just a few days? Ben Barker, editor of Survival Manual, has this answer: with the international power brokers "wars are the trump card in their stacked deck and it is the one that is played when the populace is getting out of hand. The chaos precipitated by war of necessity brings about the repressive controlled environment that power brokers thrive upon." (Quoted from "The Middle Class Survival Manual," 500 Esplanada Drive, Suite 1520, Oxnard, California 93030). In other words, because of general unrest and chaos and the fear that the populace is getting out of hand, it was planned this way!

"In governing the populace, unrest cannot be averted. Therefore, it must be channeled and cultivated." This is the creed of Big Brother, fictional character is George Orwell's book, 1984, originally published in 1948. To channel this unrest that cannot be averted, the world is divided into three Regional Governments, three Superpowers that exist in a state of permanent war with each other in varying combinations. To "channel the unrest," Oceania (the Western World) sometimes is allied with Eastasia (the Eastern World) against Eurasia (The Third World, including Red China). Sometimes Oceania is allied with Eurasia against Eastasia. Sometimes Eurasia and Eastasia find a common enemy in Oceania. And so on. Thus, by maintaining permanent war, the unrest of the populace is channeled (loyalty, patriotism, united effort, moral equivalent to war, etc). To cultivate unrest, each superpower is governed by four ministries: a Ministry of Peace which conducts war; a Ministry of Plenty which regulates the manufacture and distribution of goods; a Ministry of Love which directs espionage, terror and hate; and a Ministry of Truth which keeps "truth" up to date. Over all stands Big Brother who sees all, knows all, who must be loved by all while everybody must hate everybody else.

This is 1980, not yet 1984, at least not by calendar reckoning. But now there is great unrest among the peoples of the world; economic, political, religious, ethnic, social unrest. There are revolutions, rebellions, attacks upon embassies and holy places, kidnappings and sometimes murder of hostages, invasion of whole countries. Terror is epidemic, law is laughed at. In short, there is great unrest and since "unrest cannot be averted," it must be channeled, and cultivated!

War is the way unrest has always been channeled, from the time of Cain to the time of Big Brother. And it would seem that the International Power Brokers have utilized this strategy from the very beginning. Therefore, as States and Empires began to develop in Europe and the New World, they began the task of building their three Regional Superpowers which they might play one against the other. Triple Entente, Triple Alliance, such were beginnings. But, geopolitics required global governments. First, the international power brokers set about developing a Western Alliance, which must include the United States as its leader. But there was Washington's advice concerning intercourse with other nations, backed up by the Monroe Doctrine. These had to be discarded, and the United States built into a global power. This was our "Manifest Destiny", and there came an arranged war with Spain, Teddy Roosevelt's negotiation of peace between warring Russia and Japan, his "Big Stick" display of the United States Navy on its world tour. Then, through international agent, Colonel House, President Wilson was induced to involve us in a world war, at the same time promoting a League of Nations. The work of constructing a first World Superpower was completed with the creation of the Atlantic Alliance in which the United States would be the leader.

Meanwhile, the creation of the second Regional Superpower was underway. A Bolshevik conquest of Imperial and Christian Russia was financed by the International Power Brokers. M.M. Warburg of Germany made millions available to Lenin and his band of revolutionaries, arranged for their safe passage into Russia. In New York City Jacob Schiff, partner and brother-in-law of Warburg, contributed a known $20 million. Leon Trotsky, living in luxury with an excellent apartment, rent paid three months in advance, traveling in a chauffered limousine, suddenly was given $10,000 pocket money, and an American passport supplied by the intervention of Woodrow Wilson. He traveled to Canada, then to Russia to join Lenin, openly declaring his determination of "carry forward" the revolution.

The international power brokers then proceeded to develop Communist Russia into a Superpower. From 1919 onward, each time the Communist dictatorship was about to fail, aid was rushed to Lenin, Stalin, Krushchev or Brzhnev, from the West, especially from the United States. It might be said that World War I was fought to create a Communist State, and World War II was fought to expand that Communist State into a Superpower and a Regional World Government (Eastasia?).

As an example of how Monopoly Capitalism promoted International Communism -- an example which is pertinent because it concerns oil as does today's crisis in Iran -- the following article appeared in The Washington Observer of Sept. 15, 1974: "During the Korean War and the recent Vietnam War, Soviet Russia, whose oilfields, except for a few very minor ones on Sakhalin Island, are too remote, was unable to supply the Communist satellite countries in the Far East across more than 20,000 miles of ocean. So the Soviets went shopping on the international oil markets and made a deal with the world oil cartel to provide most of the liquid fuels for the Communist war machines in Korea and Vietnam. To supply the oil, the Rockefeller interests used mainly the Arabian-American Oil Company (ARAMCO), which is jointly owned by Standard Oil of California (30%), Texaco (30%), Standard Oil of New Jersey (30%), and Socony Vacuum (10%)." This occured while the United States and Communist countries were at war against each other!

But, back to our original theme regarding the creation of three Regional World Governments. Having "Regionalized" and made "Interdependent" the Western World and the Eastern World, now came time for the development of the Third World, the principal part of which would be Communist China. When World War Two was ended, Mao Tse-tung was maneuvered into dictatorial control and the same strategy that was used to buld the USSR after World War One, was now used to build the PRC after World War Two. The Rockefeller funded Institute of Pacific Relations laid the groundwork, the CFR-controlled State Department followed through, Kissinger and Nixon completed the framework, and the Orwellian strategy of playing Superpowers one against the others, could begin in earnest. In the initial stage, Russia and Red China were allied against the United States. Later, PRC spread the report that the US and the USSR were allied against her. Now comes another change in the alternating alliance: It's time for the PRC and the US to be allied against the USSR. Consequently, Russia invades Afghanistan to set the stage for the shift in strategy. The US follows through via Rand Corp. Think-tank advising our government to make deals with China against Russia. Comes the New York Times of Jan. 3, 1980 with the news that "The Carter Administration is seeking China's cooperation in measures to shore up Pakistan's defenses against Soviet military pressure possibly including a proposal for an increase of arms sent from both governments to the South Asian country, American officials said today ..."

In this article from the New York Times of January 3, note the ways in which the United States government is to aid in the development of Red China as a Regional Superpower, and how we are to be allied with China against Russia, exactly as Orwell predicted over thirty years ago. We quote:

When President Carter took to the TV to announce the return of the cold war against the USSR (we delayed our deadline in case he might say something of great import), there was nary a mention of the budding alliance with Red China against Red Russia. Carter spoke with bitterness but with little authority. His response to the Communist invasion of Islamic Afghanistan was qualified. 17 million tons of grain would not be delivered, but it was cow-feed, not Communist-feed. Russians mustn't go fishing in our waters anymore (the Caribbean excluded, we presume). Cultural and economic exchanges might be delayed but the Olympic games would not be boycotted. The shipment of highly technological equipment might be delayed. But, we repeat, no mention was made of the fact that the US is entering into a security alliance with one Communist Regional World Government against another Communist Regional World Government. And George Orwell isn't around to say, "I told you so."

In Conclusion, let us also repeat: In governing the populace, unrest cannot be averted: therefore it must be channeled and cultivated. And threat of war -- be it cold war, limited war, controlled war, even world war -- is the time-proven way to channel a people's unreset. And this is the strategy chosen by enemies of competitive capitalism, free enterprise and freedom of choice. We believe that this alliance between Monopoly Capitalism and International Communism is three-pronged. First, there is an economic alliance between the two. This is proved by the fact that Monopoly Capitalists of the West rescue the Communists from total oblivion every time their system threatens to collapse. Secondly, there is an ideological compatibility in that both seek to destroy competition and control the total market, including manpower. Thirdly, both share the mutual conviction that the human race must be molded into a single, monolithic system of world-wide economic, political and social control.

Against such an enemy, who has been called Big Brother, there is but one sure defense: we must reinstate the Bible and the Constitution as the guiding principles of our Nation. Unless we do this, national collapse seems inevitable.
