Jeff Nyquist talks to Dariusz Rohnka

DR: Myth of collapse of communism survived unscathed and unchallenged through the last 20 years. General perception is that not only was communism eradicated as a political force but also the concept of Soviet power as enemy disappeared. In its place we have instead the “axis of evil” or Islamic terrorism, and their ties with Moscow or Peking, both in the past and presently, are overlooked. What are the practical consequences of such persistent and effective disinformation?

Dariusz Rohnka is a Polish dissident researcher. In this conversation, which sorry to say no leftist source WOULD EVER make both Dariusz, and Jeff point out what is the biggest conspiracy behind the Russian official claims that Communism is "officially" dead.

At the beginnig of the interview Dariusz asks the most important question, and imo Jeff gives the right awnser.

Dariusz Rohnka: Jeff, you belong to a very small group of American writers trying to understand the events of 1989-1991. What in your opinion was the decisive factor in the universal acceptance of the official version of events? Why is it that other interpretations aroused so little interest?

Jeff Nyquist: The decisive factor in the universal acceptance of the official version of the “fall of Communism” was the success of Soviet active measures in Western countries, along with the steady advance of socialist ideas within those countries.

There have been, and still are MANY conspiracies regarding the U.S., but when it comes to Russia, and what was an empire which alongside some other Communist countries, and groups brought destruction and death with the spread of Communism, MOST Europeans, and even many if not most Americans and other people around the world have ACCEPTED the OFFICIAL story.

For some strange reason the fall of Communism, which gave power to all those people who are STILL in power in Russia, came without almost any bloodshed. It is not that I wanted any bloodshed, but the largest dictatorship which had the power which enslaved Russia, and it's former states just dissapear without a whimper?

Apart from this we have had the stories from former high ranking officers of the U.S.S.R. tells us that the Kremlin, and the highest powers within the Communist block had a plan to decieve the wst into making us believe that Communism is dead, when this, according to these former high ranking Communist officers, is just the biggest deception that would come from the Kremlin. Not to mention that Putin, who along all others in power, or most of them, were part of the KGB.

Putin is still, is a powerfull figure, and now in Russia the state, under orders of Putin, have once again made a hero of Stalin, and they claim that "he did what he had to do for the good of Russia....."

The state even raided the largest human right building/group in Russia, which had archives of the atrocities committed by Stalin.

Russia rewriting Josef Stalins legacy
Archives on dictator seized from human-rights group Memorial


By Alex Rodriguez
December 17, 2008

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — At first, the purpose behind the midday raid at a human-rights group’s office here was murky. Police, some clad in masks and camouflage, cut the electricity to Memorial’s offices and demanded to know if any drugs or guns were kept on the premises.

Five hours later, after police had opened every computer and walked out with 11 hard drives, the reason for their visit became clear to Memorial Director Irina Flige.

On the hard drives, a trove of scanned images and documents memorialized Josef Stalin’s murderous reign of terror. Diagrams scrawled out by survivors detailed layouts of labor camps. There were photos of Russians executed by Stalin’s secret police, wrenching accounts of survival from gulag inmates and maps showing the locations of mass graves.

“They knew what they were taking,” Flige said. “Today, the state tries to reconstruct history to make it appear like a long chain of victories. And they want these victories to be seen as justifying Stalin’s repressions.”

It is clear, or it should be, that Communism is not dead in Russia, or anywhere else.

Just like the Communist Chinese government has been using Capitalism so they could stay in power, and grow stronger through deception, so have those in power in Russia, and the warnings given by former high ranking Russian defectors are the truth.

They have come to call and label anyone who shows this information as "paranoid conspiracy theorists....." That is a label which is given by people who don't want to believe the truth regarding the Communist collapse in Russia.

Controversies
Golitsyn was a figure of significant controversy in the Western intelligence community. Military writer, the British General John Hackett, and the[3] former CIA counter-intelligence director James Angleton identified Golitsyn as "The most valuable defector ever to reach the West".[4] However, the official historian for Britain's MI5 Christopher Andrew[5] described him as an "unreliable conspiracy theorist".[6] Andrew believes that although intelligence data provided by Golitsyn were reliable, some of his global political assessments of the Soviet and KGB strategy are questionable.[1] In particular, he disputed the Golitsyn claim that the "Sino-Soviet split was a charade to deceive the West".[1] Golitsyn's claims of widespread KGB double agent infiltration in the CIA also contributed to Angleton's growing paranoia which ultimately led to Angleton's dismissal from the CIA.

Here is some information which Golitsyn published in a book in 1995.

The Perestroika Deception
In 1995 he published a book containing purported memoranda attributed to Golitsyn entitled The Perestroika Deception which claimed:

"The [Soviet] strategists are concealing the secret coordination that exists and will continue between Moscow and the 'nationalist' leaders of [the] 'independent' republics."
"The power of the KGB remains as great as ever... Talk of cosmetic changes in the KGB and its supervision is deliberately publicized to support the myth of 'democratization' of the Soviet political system."
"Scratch these new, instant Soviet 'democrats,' 'anti-Communists,' and 'nationalists' who have sprouted out of nowhere, and underneath will be found secret Party members or KGB agents."

en.wikipedia.org...

This man predicted the fall of the Berlin wall, and the so called "Communist collapse," among some other things he stated was part of the deception plan, or master plan.

Some have claimed that Golitsyn is the only one claiming this, but the truth is that this man is not the only high ranking Russian defector who has talked about this deception against the west about the Communist collapse.

How is all of this relevant today? Well, for one thing, the discovery of Russian explosives and arms caches on NATO territory appears to confirm or make more credible the claims of Stanislav Lunev, a former colonel in Russian military intelligence, who testified before this committee on August 4, 1998 and who published the book Through the Eyes of the Enemy. You remember we had Lunev testify behind a barrier and undercover during that hearing. Lunev defected to the United States in 1992 after working for more than a decade in the U.S. as a GRU operative. Lunev participated in a GRU program collecting information on the President and senior U.S. political and military leaders so they could be targeted for assassination in the event of war.

According to Lunev, small man-portable nuclear weapons that could be disguised to look like a suitcase would be employed in a decapitating Russian attack against U.S. leaders and key communications and military facilities. Colonel Lunev claimed that the Russian military and intelligence services still regard the United States as the enemy and consider war with the U.S. as inevitable. Colonel Lunev stated that man-portable nuclear weapons may already be located in the United States.

Lunev's claim is based on his understanding of GRU doctrine for employing these weapons or call for prepositioning nuclear weapons in the United States during peace time before crisis or war makes penetration of the U.S. more difficult.

Another Russian defector who spoke and was present on the above meeting to detail the threat of Russia is Vasili Nikitich Mitrokhin.

In early 1992, a Russian man walked into the British embassy in a newly independent Baltic republic and asked to "speak to someone in authority." As he sipped his first cup of proper English tea, he handed over a small file of notes. Eight months later, the man, his family, and his enormous archive had been safely exfiltrated to Britain. When news that a KGB officer had defected with the names of hundreds of undercover agents leaked out in 1996, a spokesperson for the SVR (Russia's foreign intelligence service, heir of the KGB) said, "Hundreds of people! That just doesn't happen! Any defector could get the name of one, two, perhaps three agents--but not hundreds!"

Vasili Nikitich Mitrokhin worked as chief archivist for the FCD, the foreign-intelligence arm of the KGB. Mitrokhin was responsible for checking and sealing approximately 300,000 files, allowing him unrestricted access to one of the world's most closely guarded archives. He had lost faith in the Soviet system over the years, and was especially disturbed by the KGB's systematic silencing of dissidents at home and abroad. Faced with tough choices--stay silent, resign, or undermine the system from within--Mitrokhin decided to compile a record of the foreign operations of the KGB. Every day for 12 years, he smuggled notes out of the archive. He started by hiding scraps of paper covered with miniscule handwriting in his shoes, but later wrote notes on ordinary office paper, which he took home in his pockets. He hid the notes under his mattress, and on weekends took them to his dacha, where he typed them and hid them in containers buried under the floor. When he escaped to Britain, his archive contained tens of thousands of pages of notes.

In 1995, Mitrokhin, by then a British citizen, contacted Christopher Andrew (For the President's Eyes Only), head of the faculty of history at Cambridge University and one of the world's foremost historians of international intelligence. Andrew was allowed to examine the archive Mitrokhin created "to ensure that the truth was not forgotten, that posterity might some day come to know of it." The Sword and the Shield is the earthshaking result. The book details the KGB's foreign-intelligence operations, most notably those aimed at Great Britain and the "Main Adversary"--the United States. In the 700-page book, Andrew reveals operations aimed at discrediting high-profile Americans, from Martin Luther King to Ronald Reagan; secret arms caches still hidden--and boobytrapped--throughout the West; disinformation efforts, including forging a letter from Lee Harvey Oswald in an attempt to implicate the CIA in the assassination of JFK; attempts to stir up racial tensions in the U.S. by sending hate mail and even bombs; and the existence of deep-cover agents in North America and Europe--some of whom were effectively "outed" when the book was published.

The story of these, and MANY other Russian defectors is all the same.

Perhaps some oler members would remember the threads i posted here that showed that the Russians had been passing information to Saddam's regime about U.S. troop movements before, and during "Operation Freedom"

Russian Intelligence
When it comes to his friend Vlad, President Bush always seems ready to forgive and forget
Tuesday, March 28, 2006

YOU'D THINK that evidence that a supposedly friendly country had delivered detailed military intelligence to an American enemy at a time of war would quickly provoke a reaction from the U.S. government: at the least, a demand for a full explanation, followed by a reassessment of relations with that country. But that's not how the Bush administration handles Vladimir Putin's Russia.

For some time the administration has been in possession of captured Iraqi documents describing how the Russian ambassador in Baghdad supplied Saddam Hussein with information about U.S. troop movements before and during the invasion of Iraq, including the critical intelligence that U.S. forces planned to bypass Iraqi cities and press through the "Karbala Gap" to Baghdad.

Yet it was not until they were questioned about the documents on national television over the weekend that senior national security officials offered that they would ask the Russian government about them. And even that was qualified.

www.washingtonpost.com...

There is also the fact that a high ranking U.S. official went public about the fact that the Russians had moved Saddam's wmd, and this fact has been corroborated by Iraqi defectors such as Georges Sada, who happened to be the second in comand of Saddam's air force.

The following is a review of sada's book where he tells many of Saddam's secrets.

Without exaggeration, I must say that this may be the most important book of the year. Why would I make such a strong claim? Read on....

Author Georges Sada was that rare honest Iraqi government insider during Saddam Hussein's reign who was tolerated despite his candor ... in fact, he even gained Saddam's trust, even though he frequently bucked the will of the iron-fisted dictator. In General Sada's unique position, he was able to observe some of the worst of Saddams behavior and trickery and confirms in this book not only the existence of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but also the extraordinary lengths that Saddam went to hide these weapons. He blows the cover off of the United Nations officials and their craven and corrupt complicity in Hussein's schemes to hide his own murderous intents while lining their own pockets.

As one reads, one has the sense that General Sada is a loyal Iraqi who loves his nation and his countrymen, who writes out of a sense of grief, anger, and alarm over what Saddam perpetrated. Sada's book is a timely warning against complacency towards the terrorist insurgents who would do all they could to neuter America, enslave the Middle East, and cannibalize Iraq. For all of those who have naively and ignorantly bleated about the "lack of WMDs" or America's "phony" reasons for going to war, this book is a real shocker ... a much-needed wake-up call ...

BTW, I didn't post above the name of the U.S. official who said he had proof the Russians helped Saddam move WMD, he is former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense John A. Shaw.

Perhaps some will remember that he was odered to resign because he gave out this information when noone in the higher levels of the U.S. government would listen to what he had to say, and the information he could provide.

Ex-Official: Russia Moved Saddam's WMD

Kenneth R. Timmerman
Sunday, Feb. 19, 2006

A top Pentagon official who was responsible for tracking Saddam Hussein's weapons programs before and after the 2003 liberation of Iraq, has provided the first-ever account of how Saddam Hussein "cleaned up" his weapons of mass destruction stockpiles to prevent the United States from discovering them.

"The short answer to the question of where the WMD Saddam bought from the Russians went was that they went to Syria and Lebanon," former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense John A. Shaw told an audience Saturday at a privately sponsored "Intelligence Summit" in Alexandria, Va. (www.intelligencesummit.org).
"They were moved by Russian Spetsnaz (special forces) units out of uniform, that were specifically sent to Iraq to move the weaponry and eradicate any evidence of its existence," he said.

Shaw has dealt with weapons-related issues and export controls as a U.S. government official for 30 years, and was serving as deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security when the events he described today occurred.

He called the evacuation of Saddam's WMD stockpiles "a well-orchestrated campaign using two neighboring client states with which the Russian leadership had a long time security relationship."

Here is some more information about how, and why this man had to resign from his post.

Russia and Iraq
Main articles: Al Qa'qaa high explosives controversy and WMD theories in the aftermath of the 2003 Iraq War
Mr. Shaw was responsible for tracking Saddam Hussein's weapons programs before and after the 2003 liberation of Iraq. He stated in October 2004, March 2005, and again in February 2006 that it was the Russians who helped Saddam Hussein to "clean up" his weapons of mass destruction stockpiles "to prevent the United States from discovering them." [2]

In particular, on February 18, 2006, Shaw told a conference at The Intelligence Summit in Alexandria, Virginia, that "The short answer to the question of where the WMD Saddam bought from the Russians went was that they went" to Syria and the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon, Kenneth R. Timmerman reported February 19, 2006, in NewsMax. "They were moved by Russian Spetsnaz (special forces) units out of uniform, that were specifically sent to Iraq to move the weaponry and eradicate any evidence of its existence," Shaw said.

After accusing Russian GRU of helping Saddam to remove his WMD, Shaw was asked to resign for "exceeding his authority" in disclosing the information, a charge he called "specious." Shaw was forced out of office when his position was eliminated on December 10, 2004.[1], [2].

Shaw stated that he went public with his comments regarding Russia moving Iraq's WMD when he did to help George W. Bush who he felt was being "crucified" by the revelations that over 350 tons of explosives had gone missing in Iraq as a result of the U.S. invasion [3]. He said "If I had not had the openly hostile environment in [Pentagon public affairs], I would have moved the story differently. Getting the truth out instantly was more important than process."

So is Russia our friend, and ally and they are not Communist anymore?....

What do you think?
