The Destabilization of the USSR: Anti-Fascist Archive #36 W/ Dave Emory (1991) The Destabilization of the USSR: Anti-Fascist Archive #36 w/ Dave Emory (1991) ORIGINAL: https://spitfirelist.com/anti-fascist-archives/rfa-36-the-destabilization-of-the-ussr-and-eastern-europe/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpxlLaDA_c4 This program analyzes the Persian Gulf War, U.S. covert action in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe and Reagan-Bush defense and foreign policies as coordinated elements of a strategy to pressure and destabilize Russia. The broadcast focuses on American promotion of resurgent fascist elements in that part of the world and the possibility that the American strategy might result in a return of the Cold War or the start of a third world war.

https://spitfirelist.com/audio/afa-complete-audio/ i'm going to give you a brief rundown of the first part of tonight's one step beyond broadcast uh then i'm going to get into the main body later of the broadcast we are going to begin for most of the evening this evening uh an archive series called the destabilization of the ussr prelude to world war three question mark and uh that will occupy the bulk of the broadcast this evening i will be continuing that archive series in weeks to come [Applause] this is the first installment of the destabilization of the ussr we're going to begin by taking a look at an article that appeared on the front page of the san francisco examiner on today today being sunday march 3rd of 1991 uh this deals with the us as the only superpower in the persian gulf we will use that as a point of departure we're then going to take a look at an article from the los angeles times of february 20th of 1991 talking about gorbachev's peace initiative vis-a-vis the middle eastern war and i'm going to talk about what i believe that represents as a political what that represented as a political phenomenon we will also note right next to that on the same paper uh a call for gorbachev's resignation by boris yeltsin which uh occurred at right about the same time next week we're going to go into boris yeltsin some of his connections to the american right and we're going to speculate about just what lay behind the timing of this particular comment by boris yeltsin following that we're going to take a look at an article from the san francisco chronicle of wednesday february 27 of 1991 which discusses something that i had alluded to in uh broadcasts in recent weeks namely the connection between the soviet diplomatic initiative and the fears and operations of the soviet military and this will serve as a point of departure for the main theme of tonight's broadcast which will carry over into next week's broadcast namely my belief that among other things 00:02:02 namely my belief that among other things the us military adventure in the middle east and there are very firm indications which we will review next week that this was deliberately set up in advance that this represents uh part of a flanking maneuver against the soviet union which in my opinion is intended to not only destabilize the soviet union economically but perhaps produce a reaction a military reaction by the soviet union which would serve as a justification for the revival of the cold war in this country and following that we're going to take a look at uh the effect on soviet military perception of the striking military success by the us and its allies in the middle east from the los angeles times of friday march 1st of 1991 we're going to take a look at uh soviet defense minister dimitri yazoff's uh views concerning american military success and what he feels this portends for the soviet union basically although he does not feel that the iraqi defeat basically impugns the quality of soviet arms and tactics at the same time the success of u.s high-tech weaponry in his opinion and those of other soviet military analysts uh does indeed indicate that the soviets have some revisions to do but in particular vis-a-vis their air defense system and in particular it portends in their minds that the soviets should not significantly cut back military spending because they have got to stay up with the considerable high-tech developments achieved by the united states the soviets obviously are in very sorry shape economically unless they and also the united states can cut their defense budgets uh the current economic dominance of japan and germany would appear to continue and uh it is my feeling that uh the middle eastern war uh it may very well turn out to be the final spade full of earth on the economic graves of both the united 00:04:01 the economic graves of both the united states and the soviet union uh that it is my feeling that uh the u.s military venture there uh will have this effect on the soviets it will maintain the high levels of soviet military spending that is likely to have a devastating effect on the soviet union and my feeling is that uh events in the baltics also are going to harden the soviet attitude and i think produce a soviet reaction which will then be used here in the united states for uh a justification for not only the renewal of the cold war but for a continued high level of military spending which although our economy is stronger than the soviets is going to have a devastating effect on us uh as well and uh for those people who are listening live on this march 3rd 1991 uh take note of the fact that this information will also incorporate into an upcoming archive series which i'm going to pressage in a talk that i will be giving at foothill college on april 13th of 1991 a saturday evening from 7 to 11 p.m that talk is entitled how the united states lost the second world war that talk and the information in it is going to be evolved into a very important archive series which will uh intersect with the archive series i'm doing on the destabilization of the ussr uh in addition to promoting high levels of or higher levels of soviet military spending with uh resulting damage to the soviet economy uh it is the view of some observers and we will go into this in an article from the san francisco chronicle of monday february 25th of 1991 that uh the credibility of soviet arms sales abroad will suffer as a result and that this also will damage the soviet economy by the way in addition to the article from the la times of march 1st of 1991 an article from the new york times of that same day march 1st of 1991 will further develop soviet views concerning 00:06:00 further develop soviet views concerning the necessity for continued high levels of military spending in order to keep pace with the united states following that we're going to take a look at a very we're not going to take a look we're going to go into at considerable length and in considerable detail a very very important article concerning the meddling in the baltic states read destabilization of the baltic states in particular lithuania by not only the u.s national security establishment but specifically residual third reich elements which apparently came into this country under the auspices of the galen spy organization the nazi eastern front spy outfit which we have focused on for so many years on this broadcast and which the late may brussels focused on for so many years before yours truly this particular article comes from covert action information bulletins issue number 35. that quarterly uh is they do number 35 well it says 25 here on this page that's a misprint obviously it's number 35 and this is from covert action information bulletins issue for the fall of 1990 the article is entitled ned medals in lithuania its formal title nurturing baltic reaction by author philip abanovsky b-o-n-o-s-k-y we will go into this very important and very terrifying article at considerable length that will occupy the bulk of the discussion this evening after that we're going to take a look at two articles which appeared in the very same issue of the new york times that issue being february 26 of 1991 one of those articles deals with the dissolution of the warsaw pact the other article deals with the continuation and strengthening of nato possibly including the participation at some point in the future of some of the former warsaw pact countries in eastern europe which have left the soviet orbit uh if that happens and there are people who view that as happening i think the dissolution of the warsaw pact in combination with the perpetuation of nato uh may very well represent an eastward march 00:08:01 represent

  • This Post As Tangentially Related to Leveymg's Most Excellent Recent Diary
    This post as tangentially related to leveymg's most excellent recent diary "Larger CIA and DoD Privatization Scandal Emerging from Walter Reed Story, US Attorneys Firing" which centers around hedge fund giant Cerberus. If you haven't had a chance to check that diary out, be sure to do so because it is a very worthwhile read. In this diary, we're going to delve into the intertwined, and quite convoluted scandals involving, among st other things: - Alleged bribes to Ariel Sharon by Martin Schlaff, an Austrian industrialist, that were used to pay back illegal campaign contributions Sharon used in 1999. - The scandalous collapse of Refco, the commodity futures giant, and the related collapse of BAWAG, one of Austria's largest banks (Cerberus recently bought BAWAG, BTW). - Martin Schlaff's investment in Yasser Arafat's "Oasis Casino", and that casino was tied into by the BAWAG/Refco scandals AND Ariel Sharon's right-hand-man Dov Weissman. - Martin Schlaff's and George "Macaca" Allen's involvement with the "Xybernaut" pump-and-dump stock fraud. - Martin Schlaff's apparent financier of far-Right Israeli politician Avigdor Lieberman - and finally, the potential for a crisis in Israel's democracy due to endemic corruption, and the chilling figures that could take advantage of such a crisis. Get to know your BAWAG So, let's get started with a look at the BAWAG scandal that rocked Austria's politics: Austrian Bank Scandal: When Socialists Play With Money From the desk of Chris Gillibrand on Tue, 2006-04-04 22:53 A major banking scandal is rocking the Austrian political elites – left and right.

It turns out the British government may have been over- T reporting deaths from Covid19. Who knew, right? is follows the “news” that Public Health England (PHE) have been recording Covid19 as the cause of death for anyone who has ever tested positive for the virus. PHE released a statement admitting as much: is potentially includes people who were asymptomatic, people who had the disease and then recovered and people who never had the disease https://off-guardian.org/2020/07/17/uk-govt-finally-admits-covid-statistics-are-inaccurate/ 2/111 11/30/2020 UK gov’t (finally) admits Covid statistics are inaccurate – OffGuardian at all but received a false positive from the incredibly unreliable PCR tests. In short, as one government insider is quoted in the Evening Standard: It turns out you could have been tested positive in “ February, recovered, then hit by a bus in July and you’d be recorded as a covid death.” Of course, none of this is news for people who have been paying attention – OfG and many others have been reporting this could be happening for months.

  • The CIA Used Feminism to Destabilize Society
    Feminism AKA Mind Control The CIA Used Feminism To Destabilize Society In the 1960´s, the elite media invented second-wave feminism as part of the elite agenda to dismantle civilization and create a New World Order." Since writing these words last week, I have discovered that before she became a feminist leader, Gloria Steinem worked for the CIA spying on Marxist students in Europe and disrupting their meetings. She became a media darling due to her CIA connections. MS Magazine, which she edited for many years was indirectly funded by the CIA. Steinem has tried to suppress this information, unearthed in the 1970´s by a radical feminist group called "Red Stockings." In 1979, Steinem and her powerful CIA- connected friends, Katharine Graham of the Washington Post and Ford Foundation President Franklin Thomas prevented Random House from publishing it in "Feminist Revolution." Nevertheless the story appeared in the "Village Voice" on May 21, 1979. Steinem has always pretended that she had been a student radical. "When I was in college, it was the McCarthy era," she told Susan Mitchell in 1997, "and that made me a Marxist." (Icons, Saints and Divas: Intimate Conversations with Women who Changed the World 1997. p 130) Her bio-blurb in June 1973 MS. Magazine states: "Gloria Steinem has been a freelance writer all her professional life. Ms magazine is her first full-time salaried job." Not true. Raised in an impoverished, dysfunctional family in Toledo Ohio, Steinem somehow managed to attend elite Smith College, Betty Friedan´s alma mater. After graduating in 1955, Steinem received a "Chester Bowles Student Fellowship" to study in India.

  • Noam Chomsky and the Compatible Left, Part I Posted on March 4, 2019
    Noam Chomsky and the Compatible Left, Part I Posted on March 4, 2019 https://lorenzoae.wordpress.com/ Noam Chomsky recently took to the pages of The Intercept to give his blessing to the US military’s occupation of Syria, solidifying his support for the Pentagon after years of having done so in slightly more anguished terms. As far as the occupation, the only concession to what might once have been considered “Leftist” values is the MIT professor’s acknowledgement that the US is motivated by “power considerations” rather than “humanitarian objectives.” Today, the brief nod to realpolitik is what’s supposed to pass for a progressive anti-war stance. The Intercept is really a natural fit for Chomsky to deliver this message. The nonagenarian professor has limited years left on earth, and when he passes, Glenn Greenwald and Pierre Omidyar’s website will probably become the new face of the permissible Left. That Chomsky lends his radical imprimatur to a US military occupation in its pages is a testament to what kind of a “Left” Chomsky has helped to create and is bequeathing to Greenwald and Omidyar. To get an idea of the before-and-after picture, consider two recent pieces from Alfred McCoy, a historian who, like Chomsky, has produced radical scholarship for almost half a century. McCoy has done some of the best work on the CIA’s role in the global heroin trade, the relationship between foreign counterinsurgency and domestic policing, and the United States’ peerless role in developing and exporting new forms of torture. McCoy claims that while researching his landmark book The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia, he came under attack by CIA mercenaries; after its publication, McCoy was monitored by the CIA and audited by the IRS, and ultimately had to move to Australia for 11 years in order to keep working.
