ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI:
THE MEPHISTO OF AMERICA
In the largest American newspaper printed outside of America, The International Herald Tribune of October 14, 2005, Zbigniew Brzezinski published a very critical article on President George W. Bush, showing him to have by his policy, especially his war against Iraq, raised a universal hatred of the Islamic world in particular against themselves. As a conceited person, Bush did nothing but apply the ideas, preached during decades by Brzezinski himself, for the American domination of the world.
ISTINA reproduces from Balkans-info review, www.b-I-infos.com , this article by Komnen Becirovic written shortly after the events in Ukraine at the end of 2004 inspired precisely by Zbigniew Brzezinski simply by the fact that it is the outcome of his strategy for the downfall of Russia. It is to be reminded that this American Pole was the lecturer of such human monsters as Madeleine Albright and Richard Holbrooke, as far as we the Serbs are concerned, and it was he who praised the United States for testing successfully new weapons at the time of the war of NATO against Serbia.

KOMNEN BECIROVIC
What could not be seen or heard on television, radio or in the press about the thirst for freedom and justice of the Ukrainian people, its burning desire to free itself from the Russian slave supervision and join the European Union and NATO, the spontaneous and democratic character of the demonstrations in Kiev, the Russian interference in the Ukrainian concerns, the complete innocence and honesty of the Westerners, the fraudulent poll and the victory stolen to the opposition at the time of the presidential elections that took place in the country in November-December 2004. It was said that the fate of the world depended on the arrival at the head of Ukraine of Victor Iouchtchenko whose face was mysteriously devastated by acne and who was suddenly promoted knight if not martyr of democracy.
However the gigantic orange Kiev joke, relayed by the media throughout the world, had been conceived, staged and financed by the United Sates of America which continues without slackening to weave its vast conspiracy against Russia while launching libellous media campaigns against it, by encircling it with military bases by means of widening NATO, by moving the ex Soviet people against it while insidiously organizing economic or any other type of subversion from within. The obvious goal is to destabilize and weaken Russia before being in a position to seize its riches, dismember it and erase it from the map of the world.
Let it suffice, for those who still doubt of it, to reopen the book written eight years ago by the geopolitical expert, the apostle of the New American world order, Zbigniew Brzezinski, The great Chessboard where he develops the ideas of the geostrategic collapse of Russia in the Soviet ex-republics and throughout Eurasia. It is this Polish citizen now naturalized American, who, as an adviser to the President Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981, designed the Afghan Islamic trap for the Russians without suspecting that the Islamic trap which was to hasten the collapse of the Soviet Union would not be long before boomeranging back against America. So it was worthwhile and Brzezinski did not fail to boast of it particularly in a famous interview with Le Nouvel Observateur on January 15, 1998.
He thus became the main inspirer of the hegemonic policy of the United States with the spectacular result of the war against the Serbs waged by his enthusiastic disciple Madeleine Korbel Albright and the contribution she made in favour of the expansion of NATO to the East in view of the conquest of Eurasia. However the influence of the Talibans over Afghanistan which had to be reversed at the price of a terrible war, the emergence of the Al-Qaida hydra from within the Islamic world with its apocalyptic attack on Manhattan, on September 11, 2001, as well as other terrorist attacks, the American power stuck in Iraq, the spectre of future wars looming on the horizon against Iran, Syria, North Korea and even Russia, finally the universal anti-Americanism are as many grapes of wrath of the guilty Brzezinski doctrines to the point that this great guru of the American domination of the world may end up by being the author of its downfall, its evil spirit, its Méphisto.
His cold, rational and atavistic hatred of Russia, only equal to that of the Nazi ideologists, has appeared in particular about Ukraine which according to him should be detached and estranged from Russia in order to put a final stop to Moscow imperial ambitions: "The independence of Ukraine modifies the very nature of the Russian State. For that reason, this new important slot on the Eurasian chessboard becomes a geopolitical mainspring. Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be an empire in Eurasia. And even if it tried to regain such a status, the centre of gravity would then be moved and that mainly Asian empire would then be doomed to weakness and be involved in permanent conflicts with its agitated vassals of central Asia." He also writes: "Without Ukraine and its fifty two million Slav brothers, any attempt made by Moscow to restore the empire is doomed to run against the prolonged resistance of populations who have become finicky about their national and religious identity." Almost like a man obsessed, he continues in that vein throughout many pages when he denounces the divine right of Russia to Ukraine, he almost denies the organic tie binding the two countries, supports the artificial creation of Ukraine within its present boundaries by Bolsheviks determined to fight the famous Russian hegemony, he pleads for Ukraine sovereignty over Crimea given as a gift to the Republic by Khrushchev in 1954, he rejoices of the systematic refusal by the Ukrainian leaders of a natural union between Russia end Byelorussia. On the other hand, he insists on the creation of the Washington sponsored alliance between Georgia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Moldavia in answer to the agreements reached between Russia and Byelorussia. He never ceases to repeat that Ukraine represents the vital stake in the rollback of Russia, the new strategy to replace that of containment developed by George Kennan in 1947 and applied for almost half a century of cold war.
Having for main goal to weaken Russia, to cut it from its southern part and the Black Sea, ultimately to draw it back to the limits existing before Pierre the Great and Catherine II, Brzezinski's doctrine does not rest on any geographical, historical or ethnic basis. He deliberately ignores the Kiev Russian epic during the X and XI centuries with the Rurikide sovereigns such as Vladimir the Great who made Russia to be baptized in 988, Iaroslav the Wise who after Charlemagne promulgated the first code of laws in Europe, the famous Rousskaïa Pravda, Vladimir II Monomach, an untiring warrior who victoriously carried out eighty five expeditions and led the Kiev empire to its climax before its destruction by the Mongols. According to this expert of Russia's downfall working for the United States, the battle of Koulikovo in 1380 when Dimitri Donskoï defeated the Tartars and started the liberation process from the Mongolian yoke has never taken place. Neither has the Cossack insurrection led by Bogdan Khmelnitski in 1646 in order to release Ukraine from Polish oppression which led to the creation in 1654 of the Pereslav's parliament called Rada that obtained from the Tsar Alexis Mikhaïlovitch the protection for the part of the country east of the Dniepr river. No mention either in Brzezinski's list of arguments of the Poltava battle in 1709 when Pierre le Grand crushed the armies of Charles XII and his ally, the traitor Hetman Mazeppa in the very heart of Ukraine, thus putting an end after thirty years to the war in the North and to Swedish imperialism! The two liberation wars waged by Catherine II from 1769 to 1774 and from 1787 to 1791 which freed all Southern Russia as well as Bessarabia and Moldavia from Turkish slavery and made it possible to create Odessa and Sebastopol in Crimea has never taken place either! The Ukrainians would have been so oppressed by the Russians that the famous statesmen like Grégory Potemkine and Alexander Bezdorodko, Ukrainian citizens, would never have run the Russian empire! Finally Gogol, one of the giants of Russian and universal literature, born in Poltava, would just simply be a Ukrainian author! Actually, by being deprived of Ukraine, Russia is not only to be deprived of its territories and riches, but also of its history and civilisation!
The only thing about Ukraine that matters in Brzezinski's mind and which overrides all other geographical, historical, ethnographic or etymological considerations is the Polish wild dream of a Ukrainian nation that was mainly invented by Pantéleïmon Koulich, a writer, and Mikaïl Grouchevski, an historian, then taken up by the Bolsheviks who made use of the latter. They gave reality to the fiction in the form of a Ukrainian republic by usurping vast territories of central Old Russia whereas the Russian word oukraïna or the Serb word kraïna only means borders and refers to the southern Russian lands which Poland long shared with the Tartars. For Brzezinski, this fierce anticommunist, the Bolsheviks and their followers miserably failed in every possible way except for the creation of many republics and that of Ukraine in particular from the ruins of imperial Russia in which they have been marvellously successful. In fact Brzezinski only sees Ukraine through his Polish anti-Russian phantasms putting up a logical appearance at the service of America's penetration into the heart of Russia.
More than a decade after the elaboration of the program, it has never ceased to be applied and reached its climax last autumn in Kiev thanks to the commitment of such promoters of democracy as George Soros with his Open Society Institute, James Woolsey, the former chief executive of the CIA, with his Freedom House, the above mentioned Madeleine Albright, the ex Secretary of State, with her National Democratic Institute, along with the National Endowment for democracy, one of CIA numerous offspring. Without being exhaustive, the USAID agency directly connected with the American government must be added to those organisations which proved to be efficient at the time of the so called velvet revolutions which took place in Serbia in 2000 and in Georgia in 2003.
Obviously Brzezinski is far from limiting his strategy only to Ukraine since he goes as far as preaching the dislocation of the Russian federation itself by means of decentralisation to give the United States a clear field on the great Eurasian chessboard. He writes: " A more decentralized Russia would have less imperialist aims. A more open confederation which would include a European Russia, a Siberian and a far eastern republic would have more facilities." At the same time he praises the democratic merits of Turkey in spite of its repressive policy towards the Kurds and greets the return of its influence in the Caucasus. He continues to play the part of the protector of the Islamic fanatical Chechens and to gesticulate as a man of peace between them and the Russians. He winks at communist China about Siberia. He invites the European Union to join the United States in their campaign to let Russia decline. He admits that the famous responsible strategic partnership offered by Washington to Moscow to run the world together was a red herring meant to deceive the Russian leaders, nationalists and westerners alike starting with Elstine. "Never had the United States the least intention to share their worldwide pre-eminence and even if it had been the case their ego would never have been capable of putting up with it." He writes while rejoicing of the many Russian handicaps among which the inability of former leaders to adopt the policy required by the new situation. And the fearful strategist for the downfall of Russia adds not without cynicism: " As soon as the first disagreements appeared between "the responsible strategic partners", the disparities at every level - political power, financial weight, capacity for technological innovation, power of cultural attraction - proved the inanity of such a notion. It was enough for many Russians to draw the conclusion that the slogan devised by the Americans was only meant to deceive them."
While this tactic worked wonder with Eltsine, the United States in collusion with the European Union betting on two major assets to ensure Russia's descent into Hell, namely democracy and the dipsomania and ignorance of the character, things began to change with the arrival of Poutine. His attempts to stop the disaster and his measures aimed at putting the State on its feet again, restraining the power of the oligarchs, recovering the national riches usurped by them, limiting the power of the regional governors in favour of the central power to avoid Russia's balkanisation were qualified by the western Establishment of so many instances of Poutine's authoritarian tendency to drift.
The open letter sent to the Heads of State and Governments of the European Union and NATO written by 115 unconditional United States sympathisers shortly after the Beslan tragedy that took place in September 2004 urging the western leaders to stop "embracing" Poutine is only too revealing of the present Russophobia prevailing in the West, and more particularly of the dread to see the Russian giant being able to stand up again after having knelt too long. The exhaustive list of those who signed the letter including such coryphaeus of humanism and democracy as Vaclac Havel, Richard Holbooke, James Woolsey, José Maria Aznar, André Glucksman, Bernard Kouchner can be found on the Voltaire web site which rightly deserves its name on account of its intelligence, truthful spirit and non-conformist attitude.
However the most extraordinary thing is that Brzezinski, the cold monster, the oracle of the new slavish domination of the world lost his nerve and became so angry as to call the President Poutine Mussolini and compare present Russia with fascist Italy in the Wall Street Journal edition of September 20, 2004 where he writes: "M. Poutine's regime looks in many ways like Mussolini's fascism. The Duce made the trains run on time. He centralized political power in the name of chauvinism. He imposed political control over the economy without nationalizing it.the fascist regime has evoked national greatness, discipline and has exalted the myth of an allegedly glorious past." And so on and so forth, the whole article is infused with the perverse logic according to which an Americanised Pole, with so unpronounceable a name that most of his fellow citizens shorten it in Zbig, can be a great United States patriot and set himself up as a master of patriotism whereas the Russian President could not be so in his own country. At the same time, in his last book The True Choice, he continues, as Faust the tempter, to flatter the imperial demons of America and dangerously set it up against Russia and the rest of the world.
Obviously Russia must be conscious of it and disregarding the grotesque recriminations and slanders must continue to take the appropriate measures, whether political, economic, military or others, so as to be able, as at the time of Nevsky or Donskoï, to face the new crusaders and Tartars - those of democracy which beseige the country and threaten its very existence.
