Using basic numerological ciphering techniques, Captian May and his associates, Ghost Troop (you can find them under the search phrase, Ghost Troop) alerted the FBI, Homeland Security Agency and many Houston-area police departments that there would be a terror event against a Houston-area petrochemical target on 3/31/2004. After four conversations with three FBI agents, Ghost Troop was threatened with prosecution if it did not desist from its predictions. In response, Capt. May called several Houston-area media outlets, most importantly news radio station KTRH, which in turn called the National FBI. At this point the FBI issued a warning, carried in national media, on 3/25/2004. They changed the Ghost Troop prediction by saying that there were "unspecified, uncorroborated, foreign reports" that Al-Qaeda was intending a refinery strike to interrupt the US elections, just as they had done in Madrid on 311.
The strike, contrived by the Bush White House, occurred in Texas City (30 miles from Houston) on 3/30/2004; the Capt. May/Ghost Troop prediction had been accurate to within one day. Although the FBI assured worried Americans that the event was not intentional, the world oil markets believed Capt. May and Ghost Troop, and gasoline futures reached their highest level in history the next day. The news of a terror strike (and its prediction) became a major point of anxiety in the annual OPEC conference, according to Forbes Magazine. The international markets clearly thought the FBI story was a lie - and it was.
In an August 16 email Capt. May explains to Ghost Troop why they were off-date by twenty-four hours in the email extract below, and makes a frightening prediction that the next 911 will occur on 9/27/2004 - the 1111th day after 911, and completely in keeping with the methodology of the time-schedule of the makers of 911 itself, and 311 in Madrid.
Who's Noticing the NATO danger?
by General Leonid Ivashov
8 April 2004
On April 2nd NATO welcomed seven new members: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. As North Atlantic Alliance General Secretary Jan de Hoop Scheffer announced, "Russia's security will not suffer but be enhanced after NATO's expansion". True, Mr. General Secretary didn't elaborate on just what he meant by "Russia".
Scheffer's motivations for calling NATO a "symbol of cooperation, democracy and peaceful relations" are clear. What isn't clear is why certain Russian politicians are so eager to share his opinion, as if they've already forgotten this "symbol of peace's" aggression against Yugoslavia and fail to notice how our country is falling ever more into the crushing embrace of NATO bases, from Norway to Kazakhstan.
According to M. Margelov, Chairman of the Committee for International Affairs of the Federation Council, "Russia has acquired an ally in NATO".
Sergei Ivanov, Foreign Minister of the RF, is likewise optimistic: "The transfer of North Atlantic Alliance aviation into the Baltic governments presents no danger to Russia".
It's impossible not to notice the curious contempt with which the North Atlantic alliance fails to take into account Russia's defense interests. Ignoring the UN Security Council and International Law, NATO stubbornly carries out its policy of geographical expansion, and is in no hurry to make any commitments to Russia. At the same time the bloc's political and military structures continually monitor Russia's activities in the defense area and apply systematic pressure, forcing her to refrain from all activities aimed at rebuilding her defenses. Unbridled troop reductions, de-armament and so-called "reform of the military", on the other hand, are encouraged in every way.
I know from personal experience that all of our steps to strengthen defense relations with our brotherly neighbor, Belarus, and our defense-related activities in the Baltic region aroused not only interest, but storms of protest on the part of NATO officials, accompanied by coordinated arm-twisting using all available means. Westernizers inside of Russia were immediately brought into play. And, as a rule, our military and political leadership beat a retreat, or at a minimum engaged in humiliating self-justification.
One gets the impression that our military-political establishment is pursuing some kind of mystical goal - to please the West at all costs, to deserve its praise even at the expense of humiliation and betrayal of our national interests, and our security interests above all. At the same time, the contours of NATO's true geopolitical strategy, which is going forward step by step, accompanied by smiles, handshakes and constant reassurances that the alliance is no threat to Russia, become ever more clearly visible.
So what's going on with Russia-NATO relations? To answer this question, let's try to get to the bottom of NATO's essence, its position and role in today's world.
A.I. Neklessa, Doctor of Economic Sciences, member of the Academy of Geopolitical Issues, affirms that today we're seeing the emergence of a new world civilization. And he's not alone in his assertion.
I've also spoken many times of the emergence of a new geopolitical subject of supra-national character onto the world arena. This is the world financial elite and transnational corporations, consolidated in the name of world dominion, control over all countries and all coalitions of countries.
This new geopolitical phenomenon is interesting in that it unites the richest people on the planet and a developed network of financial institutions -- more than 500 of the mightiest TNCs, possessing capital in excess of 16 trillion dollars and accounting for more than 25% of the world's industrial production.
Without question the leading role is played here by the 358 richest people on Earth, possessing as much wealth as 2,5 billion inhabitants of the "third world". Their ranks are being swelled by the Russian "elite" and the wealthiest people of "second world" countries. The peculiar civilizational feature of these "elites" is the abandonment of their respective countries' interests and the acceptance of the single world oligarchy's system of values. For them the state is merely a means of further enrichment, an instrument to crush any resistance and maintain control over the world.
The tool chest of world dominion and control includes financial instruments (especially the virtual financial pyramid), the network of international financial institutions, commissions, committees and clubs, and governments of many countries. The ideology of this geopolitical subject consists of a combination of double standards in international relations, radical liberalism, borders open for expansion, and standardized "democratic" regimes obedient to the will of the oligarchs. The mass-media, that arch-important tool, cardinally alters the world-view and psychology of the public, imposing on society, the state and the individual an "all-permissive" behavior pattern.
After the end of the "Cold War" and the breakup of the USSR the last remaining arguments in the battle for control over territory and resources have become military force, intelligence agencies and the network of international terrorism.
The world financial empire spares no expense to create a mighty military battering-ram in the form of the American armed forces and NATO to expand its system of global surveillance and control over every square meter of land and sea, annihilation of planes at take-off and missiles at launch, and strikes at any spot on the planet at any moment. These were the goals outlined by American Defense Minister Donald Rumsfeld in his report to the US President and Congress regarding the development of the [US] armed forces in 2004 and beyond. Intimidating the whole world and breaking its will to resist will guarantee full dominion for the world oligarchy and mega-profits for the financial elite.
Here's a text placed on his site by well-known analyst and publicist, US Navy veteran John Kaminski: "Our military is fighting (in Iraq -- L.I.) not for freedom, but for corporate profits... The Army exists to invade and loot other countries and peoples because our billionaire oil barons have a need for additional territories for themselves". And he continues: "Have you noticed how there are no children from rich families among those who're dying in Iraq?" The root of the evil, in Kaminski's opinion, lies in the fact that "our nation's leaders and those in charge of the Army never tell the truth".
And how can you tell the truth (be you the president of the USA or any other country) if you serve a cruel and all-powerful master: the international financial mafia, which will accept you into the world elite only in exchange for unquestioning submission. And if you refuse? Then you'll share the fate of John F. Kennedy, Olaf Palme, Slobodan Milosevic, Saddam Hussein and the leaders of many other countries. For loyal service, on the other hand, you'll be well off for life, like Shevardnadze, or maybe even get a Nobel prize, like Gorbachev.
As for NATO, though one gets the impression that the US reigns supreme there, this is not exactly the case. American military men, diplomats and politicians simply continue to earn their daily bread, often in ignorance of the true hierarchy of power.
From my former position I know of certain things which happened during work on the Russia-NATO Founding Act, prevention of the anti-Yugoslav aggression, the new NATO Strategic Conception, etc., when leading NATO country heads of state understood the danger of the decisions they were making, but were powerless to do anything about them. Some invisible force pushed them to commit actions destructive of international peace. Clinton's wavering over the question of going to war against Yugoslavia cost him the Monica Levinsky scandal. This was cruel vengeance on the part of the world elite. The threat of impeachment was lifted only after his decision to commit to war.
That's why the hopes of Russian generals, diplomats and politicians to appease NATO's appetites are in vain, inasmuch as those appetites are limitless: the goals of the alliance's true masters is lordship over Planet Earth. Our appeasers would do well to read more carefully the works of such mouthpieces of the new world elite as Z. Brzezinski, and specialists from the RAND Corporation and other research institutes. Their works are regarded as plans of action by the Pentagon and NATO. Brzezinski, for example, in his 1993 book, "Out of Control", openly declared that "if America (the world elite, that is, not some farmer in Florida -- L.I.) wishes to control the world, and it does", then it must establish supremacy over Eurasia, especially its "'Western periphery' (the European Union) and its heart (Russia), the Mideast, Central Asia and the oil reserves located there".
Bill Clinton's national security adviser A. Lake responded immediately to Brzezinski's "signal" by announcing officially that "the doctrine of containment which existed in the Cold War period must give way to a doctrine of full freedom of action" (for the USA, that is -- L.I.).
The RAND Corporation didn't stay on the sidelines either, and further defined NATO's task. In its report commissioned by the US Department of Defense entitled "NATO Expansion -- the Russian Factor" the document's author set forth a strategy of "destruction of any and all preconditions for the existence of an independent, autonomous Eurasian geopolitical zone, and the establishment of American control over it". This geopolitical strategy was seconded by the Pentagon's "Manual of Defense Planning", elaborated further in the yearly "National Security Strategy" report to Congress, and in military doctrines like NATO's new strategic conception, ratified at its Jubilee Summit of 1999.
Thus we see how the USA-NATO geopolitical strategy is being strictly carried out and controlled by forces which stand above presidents. If this is still poorly understood in Russia, there are those in Australia, interestingly enough, who've seen the light. Well-known journalist and publisher of the "Free Australia" information bulletin Susanne Bryce in one of her latest issues this year writes: "Gradually the USA's goal of isolating Russia by creating a buffer zone obedient to NATO on the periphery of the former Soviet Union has begun to take shape. States whose territories are used for transit of oil and gas have become NATO members. Others, whose importance should increase with development of Caspian oil reserves, have been guaranteed the status of NATO observers." Here we're reminded of the "billionaire oil barons" mentioned by John Kaminski. And of the statements of our blundering politicians and General Staff chief who assure us of the total absence of any threat to Russia from the West.
What's really is absent is a conscious Russian geopolitical doctrine and security strategy. In those structures responsible for the defense and security of our country there are simply no responsible professional analysts left. They've ceded the field (and not of their own free will) to mediocrities ready to occupy any post and act according to the principle: "What do you desire?". They desired that the US-NATO war machine not be considered a threat - "As you please!". They desired that Russia's armed forces lose their combat effectiveness - and were satisfied - by 15 years of chaotic "army reforms". SPS and the oligarchic mass-media cried for the abolishment of the draft - and they stood at attention and answered "Yes, sir!", failing to notice the growing campaign in the US, Great Britain, Germany, France and other countries favoring those countries' return to the conscription system.
A word or two about the mass-media. Susanne Bryce openly calls our TV networks ideological havens for NATO, which "day and night, systematically and insistently beat into the heads of their audience an inferiority complex of the Russian nation". Maybe this is why the Russian regime grovels so before the "superior" West, rushing to plant the NATO flag on Russian soil in a frenzy of ape-like imitation, refusing to believe in our people, our geniuses, prophets and professionals?
Russia's attitude to NATO has changed even since the December 2003 meeting of the NATO ministers with S. Ivanov. Back then, in the beginning of December, the ministers toasted the establishment of a direct communications channel between the alliance's headquarters and the Russian Defense Ministry. Deafened by the clinking of champagne glasses, apparently, they failed to hear a few key phrases. The first one was uttered by former NATO General Secretary George Robertson: "Today NATO in its new capacity is guaranteeing true security from Kosovo to Kabul." In other words, of coveted Eurasia.
The second phrase was contained in the communique summing up that meeting: "The defense ministers ... studied the North Atlantic Alliance's transformation to counter modern security threats, especially the question of strengthening NATO's strike potential and the ability of member states' armed forces to apply it." The Russian General Staff didn't notice any threat to Russia in this information, and they rushed to announce so publicly. But Susanne Bryce in Australia noticed.
And suddenly -- a sensation: NATO "AWACS" begin patrolling the skies of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, gathering intelligence information about Russia and Belarus. And the Estonian defense minister H. Tiido recently declared that "There's nothing new or strange in the fact of NATO aircraft landing or being located on the territory of alliance member countries. I consider that each country has the right to independently decide how to guarantee the security of its own airspace."
This is a serious thump on the nose of Russia's diplomats and General Staff. Especially the bit about "independently deciding how to guarantee security". We're afraid of merely thinking things which countries like Estonia or Georgia are now openly declaring. Russia has become so dependent in its decision-making when it comes to such questions that at the least sign of displeasure on the part of any NATO (or what's more, American) official we begin begging forgiveness, promising not to let it happen again, and punishing our anti-NATO critics by sending them into retirement. Oh, how our leadership wants to please the West! And what if they let us into their elite club after all? Not Russia herself of course -- her place is in the servants' quarters -- it's our bureaucrats, political experts and parliamentarians who're clamoring for the elite's recognition.
What's happening in the Baltics is "merely" the strengthening of NATO's strike potential and the preparation of the member states for its application. Which the defense ministers of bloc member countries smilingly informed us about on December 2nd of last year. They're pressed for time, and modernization of military infrastructure and its preparation for wartime use is going ahead full tilt.
Construction of a network of three-dimensional American radio locator stations capable of spying 2 000 km. into Russian territory is under way in Latvia and Estonia. That's in addition to the already operational radio location station in Varde (Norway), set up at the time in violation the anti-missile defense treaty, and a network of radio-electronic installations in Spitzenbergen. The Americans are conducting negotiations with the leadership of Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic for locating anti-missile systems on their their territories as part of the US's national missile defense. American officers are studying one location a few kilometers from Brest for the construction of a US Air Force base on Polish territory. NATO has already declared the Black Sea its inheritance, and preparations to conduct operations for the detainment and inspection of any ship flying any flag are under way there. The Mediterranean and all its strategic straits are already under the control of the US Navy. Turkey has toughened its regulations regarding passage of Russian ships through the Bosphorous and Dardanelles.
NATO military bases are digging in for good in Central Asia, and Russian ones are being forced out of Tadjikistan and Georgia. Our contingents are leaving Transdniester, as they've already left Kosovo, and a murderer of Transdniester citizens, currently a senator in NATO and PACE-member Romania, Ilia Ilascou, announces the beginning of a terrorist war against Transdniester to liquidate the last outpost of pro-Russian sympathies in the region. Then NATO "peacekeepers" will enter Tiraspol, unleashing hundreds of tons of bombs on the heads of the local population.
It's impossible not to notice the powerful and generously-funded campaign to overthrow the regime in Belarus. [The US State Department recently earmarked millions for a Yugoslav-style "velvet revolution" there to unseat the "dictator" Lukashenko. Lukashenko has successfully resisted the attempts of the IMF, the Soros Fund and other globalizing organizations to have their way with his country. As a result, the Belarus economy is the healthiest of the former Soviet states. -- Editor] We can state with a high degree of probability that along with the arrival of "democracy", that republic will immediately enter NATO's orbit. The Russian military will be forced out and we'll find ourselves face-to-face with NATO on the outskirts of Smolensk.
The speaker of the RF Senate Sergei Mironov recently assured us that the Russian and Belarussian people won't allow that to happen. I'd like to believe it, but I have doubts on that score. Firstly, the worldwide oligarchy doesn't ask for the people's opinion. Secondly, recent history causes us to doubt. Our brother Serbs were also confident that NATO would never set foot on their territory, and we all know how things turned out there. NATO, and the "backstage manipulators" [mirovaya zakulisa] controlling it, love making sequels of their most successful scenarios.
[ * * * ]
In the Ukraine, another new strategic blow against Russia's interests and security was recently struck by NATO together with Galician nationalists. On March 17th, 2004 the Ukrainian parliament granted NATO forces the right of "rapid deployment on Ukrainian territory, if necessary to realize the general policies of the alliance". So now the territory of our southern neighbor is at NATO's disposal. For actions against whom? Against 'Al-Qaeda', they explain once again. And the Kremlin and General Staff will believe it: they're great lovers of fairy-tales.
And that's not all. New North Atlantic alliance members are freed from the limitations of the Conventional Arms in Europe Agreement, which prevents the creation of conventional-weapons strike groups on the territory of one or several countries. So the Baltic States, Ukraine, Georgia and Azerbaijan could easily be used as bases for mighty troop concentrations, all in the name of the above-mentioned "right to guarantee security", which the Estonian minister spoke of with such pathos. What's more there aren't even any limitations on basing nuclear weapons there. Add to this the blurring of the distinction between nuclear and so-called "halfway" bombs.
Russia, on the other hand, isn't allowed to add even a single tank, artillery piece, armored vehicle, plane or helicopter -- their numbers are frozen by the flanking limitations of the Agreement. By the way, we scrupulously adhere to these limitations, while NATO routinely violates them. For our slightest misstep the RF Defense Minister is called onto the carpet in Brussels or Washington, where he's given a public whipping. And when he mentions the NATO military preparations discussed above, they courteously explain that "terrorism" is to blame. And in a joint communique new calls are heard for closer collaboration against this evil.
There's still a lot we could say about NATO's active preparations and building-up of its potential, but the facts are already clear: Russia is being surrounded ever more tightly by a powerful military vise around her whole perimeter. Military force is being projected deep into her territory. AWACS planes scrutinize the situation in Leningrad, Novgorod, Pskov and Smolensk Oblasts, Karelia, and the Northern Caucasus. CIS member states continue to be drawn away from Russia into NATO's orbit. Common Market Commissar F. Volkenstein expresses himself quite candidly: Moldova, Belarus and the Ukraine must isolate Russia from Europe. Meanwhile, NATO's Deputy General Secretary reassures us: Russia has no cause to worry about the future entry of CIS countries into the alliance, inasmuch as this is merely the process of "expansion of democracy".
A terrorist network whose purpose is to undermine Russia is organized and coordinated from London. There, under the wing of British intelligence, thrive the world's most radical Islamic terrorist organizations, such as the "Islamic Liberation Party", the "Worldwide Islamic Front", the "Defenders of Shariat", the "Mukhadjiri" movement, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan and others. I've named only those organizations which are forbidden in the majority of Islamic countries. In London also are located the nerve centers of Chechen terrorism along with the bank accounts of the terrorists.
Especially alarming is the possibility of nuclear terrorism. Let's analyze a curious chain of events which occurred recently: First, the Pentagon orders a study on the possible consequences of a portable nuclear device exploding in a Moscow-type subway system. Then information appears in the press that 'Al-Qaeda' possesses such a weapon, along with rumors that such weapons were sold by the Ukraine. And finally, the final link in the chain: on February 9th [2004] an explosion (conventional, for the time being) occurs in the Moscow underground. Was this the finale, or merely a dress rehearsal for a more serious nuclear attack yet to take place?
Thus an ever-more threatening situation for the safety of our citizens and our country as a whole and its independent course of development is taking shape. For us not to resist is a crime, for the world oligarchy has already bound the Russian leadership hand and foot, it would seem, and deprived it of all possibility of acting in the national interest.
How else can we explain the statement of Russian Defense Minister Ivanov regarding readiness to accommodate a NATO contingent, complete with armaments and machinery, on Russian territory? He's under orders from the world oligarchs (along with our home-grown ones), whose aim is to establish a legal precedent for the creeping occupation of Russia. NATO soldiers will be there to defend the present Kremlin regime, to ensure succession and continuity in its policy of disarming the Russian state, the destruction of its native peoples and reduction of the remaining population into a condition of slavery.
What must patriotic forces do in our threatening times?
Above all, stop placing our hopes on Russia's present rulers, who are nothing more than local prison guards for the world government.
Secondly, unite all healthy forces in society to resist the occupation of the Russian land.
Third, develop and begin carrying out a strategy of coordinated activities for the defense of the national interests, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Russia.
The slogan of patriots should be: 'Join the ranks! Our Fatherland is in danger!'
