Marcus King - The War Against Putin

The Cold War progressed throughout the 60’s with the U.S. fighting the unnecessary war in Vietnam; a tragic farce so divisive that it served to undermine the domestic peace of America. Believing that they were rebelling against “The Powers That Be” many idealist college kids and war protesters turned “radical left” — exactly where “The Powers That Be” wanted them to go!

The 1970’s witnessed a CIA-KGB chess match of proxy wars, disinformation campaigns, murders, and puppet states going at each other. The battle for global influence was played out across Africa, South America, and Asia. Even as The Cold War raged, the new Soviet boss, Leonid Brezhnev, continued to talk and do business with US Presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter.

Years before Ronald Reagan was to arrive on the “world stage”, it appeared as though the Cold War would be a permanent fixture of life that the world had learned to live with. After all, the new Soviets weren’t nearly as bad as Lenin and Stalin were. Furthermore, they certainly weren’t foolish enough to ever pick a fight with the mighty US of A; let alone launch a suicidal nuclear strike against it. And so, everyone slept a whole lot better than they did during the 50’s and early 60’s.

The two super powers had learned to co-exist. But few in the West, or in the USSR, could ever have imagined that George Kennan’s long term “containment policy” had actually, beneath everyone’s radar, quietly helped to set the stage for the coming catastrophic collapse and disintegration of the Soviet Union; exactly as the CFR luminary had forecasted in 1947.

Popular mythology holds that the anti-Communist President Ronald Reagan “won the Cold War” after the “soft-on-Communism” President Jimmy Carter had nearly lost it. In reality, the foreign policy which ultimately undermined the USSR operated independently of whatever front man sat in the White House. Presidents come and go every four or eight years. But operative such as Kennan, Kissinger, Rumsfeld, Brzezinski, Schultz, Baker et al linger around in “public service” for decades.

Standing above those big names, certain financial and media dynasties have influenced American politics for a whole century, or more! The House of Rockefeller, which donated the land upon which the United Nations was built, has been promoting Globalism since about the turn of the 19 thcentury; same goes for the House of Sulzberger-Ochs (New York Times owners since 1896) , the House of Meyer-Graham (Washington Post owners since 1933) , and the arch-Billionaire Globalists of them all, the anti-Russian House of Rothschild, which bankrolled Britain’s war against Napoleon 200 years ago, as well as the movement which eventually brought about the establishment of “the State of Israel”.

Add to the “club” newer activist billionaires such as George Soros, Mike Bloomberg, Ted Turner, Pierre Omidyar, Sheldon Adelson and some counterparts in Europe, and you have the makings of a vast international network of immensely powerful Global manipulators.

So, while small minds are left to passionately bicker about Democrats vs Republicans, or Obama vs Romney, or who will win in 2016; the big boys roll on with their historic utopian agenda of a centralized “Global Village”.

It was during the 1977-1981 Presidency of the piously phony Jimmy Carter (CFR) that one of these high powered operatives sprung one of the many traps aimed at the Soviet Union. The grand project of Carter’s National Security Advisor /handler, Zbigniew Brzezinski (CFR), involved the resurrection of the Afghanistan “Great Game” of the 19 thcentury. Russia’s southern neighbor enjoyed good relations with the USSR. By fomenting of an internal CIA coup within Afghanistan, it was hoped that the Soviets would be forced to take the bait and invade.

Awaiting the Soviets was an army of foreign Islamic mercenaries; recruited, trained financed and armed to the teeth by The US, UK and Saudi Arabia. The Soviets were set up to be slowly bled, both physically and financially. This is not a speculative accusation. It is indeed the true story of the Afghan War. Hear it as told by Brzezinski himself in a 1998 interview with the French publication Le Nouvel Observateur:

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.

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?

Zbig: 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 intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn’t believe them. However, there was a basis of truth. You don’t regret anything today?

Zbig: 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 fundamentalism, having given arms and advice to future terrorists?
