THE SOVIET-ISLAM AXIS: NOTHING "JUST HAPPENS"
Ether Zone ^ | July 19, 2002 | Alan Stang

Posted on 07/22/2002 4:33:40 PM PDT by Ivan the Terrible

For weeks, we have been considering the question of whom we are fighting in the present "war on terror." Now we are ready to put the pieces together. Suppose you are the Soviet Politburo in Moscow, and your unwavering goal has always been the defeat and subjugation of the United States. You are perfectly aware that you can’t just attack the United States directly. The risk would be too great.

So, if you are the world's supreme chess masters, what would you do? Both Sun Tsu, thousands of years ago, and Mao Tse-tung recently, taught that, when your enemy is strong, you should feign weakness. So, the first thing you would do is arrange the latest of many Soviet "collapses." As we saw last week, the present Soviet "collapse" is as phony as a one-dollar bill. The Soviet "collapse" will deflect attention from what you are really doing, and inspire your American enemy to disarm. The "collapse" will bring you sympathy, enormous financial aid and investment, along with diplomatic advances.

Next, you would use front men to implement your policy, so you could not be blamed for it. Over many years, investigators have nailed many individuals and groups who were doing exactly that for the Soviets. Some even pretended to be "fighting Communism." For instance, top State Department official Alger Hiss was secretly working for Soviet dictator Stalin when he founded the UN along with other Reds. The UN they created has always been run by Communists for Communist purposes.

By now, the Communist technique devised by Italian Red leader Antonio Gramsci (see my piece on the subject in the EtherZone archives) has so corrupted and debased American institutions that you are ready to launch a military assault on the United States. We have seen that the Soviets invented the Red Terror to enslave Russia. Now, they have made an alliance with belligerent Islam for the purpose.

But aren't the Soviets atheists? Yes, they are, or, rather, they are devotees of the religion of man, known in the West as Humanism. Why would militant Islam collaborate with them? It would collaborate because the unwavering goal of both is the defeat of the Great Satan, the United States. Islam would be the perfect tool for the Soviets because Islam has been a warrior system for almost 14 centuries, since Mohammed founded it in 632.

Today, many Americans don't know whom we fought in the War for Independence, or even whom we fought in World War II. Who has heard of Charles Martel, the "Hammer," who was the grandfather of Charlemagne? Yet, no one in history has done anything more decisive. Had Charles Martel failed at the battle of Tours in 732, militant Islam could have swept Western Europe. All of civilization would have changed. Today, there would be no United States. Notice that Islam was threatening to do all that a mere hundred years after Mohammed. Almost a millennium later, in 1683, Islam was still trying. The same speculations apply to don John Sobieski, of Austria, and his Polish hussars. Had they not repelled the Turks at the gates of Vienna, militant Islam possibly could have conquered all of Europe to the English Channel and beyond. Why should we believe that belligerent Islam has given up the goal of world conquest it has been fighting for since the day it was founded? Yes, jihad has ebbed and flowed over centuries, but it is always there. Read the Koran.

By using a religion as a cover, the Soviets gain sympathy. Look at Bush's fulsome campaign to absolve Islam of guilt, to the point at which the present pinhead in charge of the FBI (Federal Bureau of Incineration) actually met with and addressed the Islamic "charity" that has been nailed for financing the terrorists.

Indeed, the Soviets from the beginning have used front men who discreetly, and sometimes not so discreetly, work for Moscow rather than for the cause they pretend to represent. For instance, Nelson Mandela and most of the present black leaders of the Republic of South Africa, have always been Communists. So were Castro and his gang during all the years he was pretending to oppose them. So was Mao Tse-tung. As a deep cover member of the world government underground, you are no longer a Muslim, or a Christian, for that matter; you worship other gods.

In 1954, the Soviets began the siege of Algeria, a province of France, hoping to cripple that country. The leader of the rebellion was Ahmed Ben Bella, allegedly a Muslim, a Communist who ran a terror gang called the FLN (Federation of National Liberation). With the help of Moscow's man in Paris, Charles de Gaulle, Ben Bella succeeded in detaching Algeria from France, after a campaign of terror that endured for years, and included some of the most horrific bestialities ever committed. If you have the stomach for it, photographs are available in the Green Book, published by the French government.

Ben Bella is long gone. Unfortunately, Yassir Arafat is not. Arafat has always been a Soviet asset, trained, paid, supplied and directed. For half a century or thereabouts, he has taken orders from Moscow. What we face under his direction in the Middle East today is a typical Soviet war of "national liberation," as such operations used to be known.

Observe how the Soviet terror works. It kills not only the enemy but its own. The Islamic promise of a platoon of virgins to those who blow themselves up is the perfect tool for Soviet terror. Brainwashed Chinese committed suicide with American firepower in Korea, as did drugged North Vietnamese in the Nam. Indeed, a telltale tactic of all Soviet terror is the maiming and murder of the very people the terror claims to be advancing. Most of the victims by far of the Communist terror in South Africa were the blacks the Communists claimed to be liberating. There, the Communists used "necklacing," a burning tire around the neck. In Algeria, the victims of Ben Bella’s mutilations were Muslims. As we have seen, Arafat's thugs are doing the same thing in the Middle East. The purpose of such Communist terror is to persuade the target population to shut up; to create the spurious impression that everyone supports the Communists.

Bombing buses and dismembering children has emerged as a principal terror tactic in Israel. Yes, it's gruesome, but it certainly isn't new. For instance, Castro and his Communist thugs routinely bombed buses in Havana, killing and dismembering women and children as in Israel today. Always, everywhere, it is the same. For an encyclopedic look at Red terror tactics in Algeria, Cuba, China, etc., see your Intrepid Correspondent’s book, It's Very Simple. All I ask you to do is what the detective does. Look at the m.o., the modus operandi. Whose footprints do you see?

In a recent piece you will find in the EZ archives, your obedient servant reminded you that the thugs who recently invaded the Church of the Nativity guzzled all the alcohol they found. But these are supposed to be Islamic fundamentalists, presumably more Muslim than Mohammed, and one Islamic fundamental prohibits drinking alcohol. Were the terrorists who invaded the Church of the Nativity not so much Muslims as they were something else?

They also trashed the church, which tradition says was the birthplace of Jesus. (Imagine the outcry were the Israelis to trash a mosque. George Bush would join the jihad.) But Jesus is a revered prophet in Islam. Again the question arises: What kind of Islamic "fundamentalists” were these thugs?

Let’s speculate on the basis of what we already know. The Soviets and the imams are working together. The Soviets are relatively new to the racket, but they have co-opted it and the jihad has acquiesced, because of the supplies, equipment, money and training it receives. Either partner alone would be a scourge; together they are a conflagration. At some point, the partners could fall out; right now, they are as tight as ticks in an armpit.

It is important to add that while expert Soviet propaganda has largely radicalized the Islamic population, especially the Palestinians, most people in the Muslim world even now would mind their own business if they were left alone. But, of course, that will not happen. The terrorists will continue to propel them toward Armageddon.

This brings us to American policy, which typically denies and ignores what is happening. Oklahoma City was the work of Tim McVeigh and his pal alone, we are told. Flight 800 "just blew up." The Soviet Union just "collapsed." And the man who killed those people at LAX "just happened" to be named Mohammed. The people he killed "just happened" to be Israelis. And he "just happened" to shoot up El-Al.

Needless to say, not a word of all this is mentioned by the government or its lapdog so-called “news” media, the rip-and-read experts at the networks, according to whom the Soviets are our staunch allies in the "war." Be with me next week in this space for some thoughts on what we must do.

If you believe this, you are on Crack. I have been to Russia recently and it is no myth that the Soviet Union fell apart. You can't fake that sort of thing.

You need to get your head out of the conspiracies, take a walk outside and get some air and maybe travel outside of the US.

Posts like this are always good for a laugh.

I'm sure the Soviets and Chicoms were just joshing about that radical arc of Islam thing as well as their terrorist Internationale.

File it among the other fairy tales of communist objective that'll never happen ... alongside the Euro economic and security collective and the abolishing of national sovereignty or the right to take unilateral action on one's own or another nation's behalf without an internatinoal coalition and a "Mother May I? Yes you may" from the UN's Security Council.

Really silly! The author is still using the term Soviet, as if the USSR were still around. Nobody in Russia really believes in the old Soviet system anymore. Nobody had really believed in it for decades before it fell.

Notice the remarkable absence of people willing to die for Communism as it came apart. The minute it became obvious that it was going down, the stampede to join the other side was overwhelming. Only the careerists hung on to the end, and they quit as soon as they saw it would no longer advance their career

It's tough being a militant atheist but someone's gotta do it.

Let's see, something like 180,000,000 Middle Eastern Moslems and 145,000,000 Russians are keeping a conspiracy secret.

.... and as part of the evil plan they let their military strength dwindle. All the aircraft and ships laid up. They even removed their forces from the western front and decommissioned them. And when will they rebuild their strength? Before of after the Chicoms seize Siberia?

This story line would never pass even the Tom Clancy test of plausibility.

International flights between Moscow and Baghdad resumed just weeks before the Cole was bombed... Saved lots of time not having to ship the explosives over land.

Good point. It's rather comical that this article suggests the Russians, who are probably more Christian per capita than most other Europeans, if not Americans, would ally with Islam against their own civilization (which is the same as ours, Western).

I was wondering how Bircher conspiracy types were adapting to the fall of the Soviet Union. Apparently not very well. The center of their lives is gone. The demonically brilliant, ultra disciplined, always efficient colossus of Redness is shown to have been a chaotically inefficient state supporting a bloated war machine on a Third World economy.

I suppose part of the commie 'pretense' is their willingness to prostitute their women abroad. Gives all new meaning to the expressions "sleepers" or "deep penetration agents".

New Lies for Old, by Anatoliy Golitsyn, was first published circa 1984 give or take a year. I read it around 1989. I wish I still had it. I lived in Europe at the time, and mail ordered it through Barnes and Noble's clearance catalog. They were practically giving it away. At that time, things were starting to 'just happen', except that there was no element of surprise... I had the how-to manual in front of me. Only somebody who hasn't read the book would claim that the author 'just happened' to make a lucky guess.

Well, I think this article nails it pretty well. Puts me in the tinfoil league pretty well I guess. I am no bircher, just a watcher. The Sino-Russian pact, the preponderance of Russian weapons in Pali hands and the massive buildup of new russian small arms in Africa all point to this article being true.

I remember in the 80's how russia was playing Jihad games against westerners. Guess you gotta be greyhaired to remember that...

"Really silly! The author is still using the term Soviet, as if the USSR were still around. Nobody in Russia really believes in the old Soviet system anymore. Nobody had really believed in it for decades before it fell."

"In the course of his Nobel Peace Prize Lecture, delivered in Oslo in June 1992, Gorbachev said: 'Our [sic] vision of the European space from the Atlantic to the Urals in not that of a closed system. Since it includes the Soviet Union [sic], which reaches to the shores of the Pacific, it goes beyond nominal geographical boundaries'. Note that Gorbachev, who had been out of office for six months, referred to the Soviet Union, not Russia."

From what I read, about 1/3 of Russia would support the return of the Soviet Union. But demographical divide is different. The older generations are kind-of nostalgic to the Soviet times with their stability and predictability. Younger generations are more dynamic, easier adapting to the post-Soviet economic realities, and now, a dozen years since the collapse, many never worked in the socialist economy at all. I don't believe that Communist political chess players did envision this path. Whatever the idea was, it went out of control and the Union collapsed. It's like sacrificing the most valuable figures on the board. Too much even for likes of Karpov and Kasparov.

 Another thing, that the cause of the Great Russia, neither East - nor West, Global Superpower, The Biggest Country in the World, Imperial Greatness, whatever name can be attached to such aspirations: they are well alive. Ambitions are definitely there. The old Communist and new Russian political chess players are most likely looking for the ways to the former, or better - new Greatness. They do see their interests as very different in many aspects then USA's. They continue to support Iran and Iraq, I don't believe the Russian spy agencies dissolved their connections with terrorists of different shades. Restructured - definitely, but dissolved - no way. With Chinese, astute political chess players too, they must be very careful as well. Overpopulated China would want nothing more than vast expanses of the sparsely populated Russia territories to the North of them. So, the Russia and China must dance very carefully with each other.

The Russian policy in the Middle East can't be described simply. You have to use "on one hand"/"on another hand" all the time. Russia would be a natural ally against Islam expansion. Even in the Soviet times, ethnic Russians looked down on the Muslim republics as on the younger and not too bright brother. But looks like despite the Chechen threat, they do officially support Arabs in the middle east. On another hand, the Moscow media and intelligentsia (that part which is not Anti-Semitic) are quite supportive of Israel ("all our people there"), versus Foreign Ministry, that traditionally is not.

I'd better have Russia as a friend.
