Summary

"THE GRAND CHESSBOARD - American = Primacy And=20 It's Geostrategic Imperatives," Zbigniew Brzezinski, = Basic=20 Books, 1997.

These are the very first words in = the book:=20 "Ever since the continents started interacting = politically,=20 some five hundred years ago, = Eurasia=20 has been the center of world power."- p. xiii.=E6=20 Eurasia is all of the territory = east of=20 = Germany=20 and=20 = Poland,=20 stretching all the way through=20 = Russia=20 and=20 = China=20 to the Pacific Ocean. It = includes the=20 Middle East and most of the = Indian=20 subcontinent. The key to controlling=20 Eurasia, says Brzezinski, is=20 controlling the=20 Central=20 Asian=20 Republics. = And the=20 key to controlling the Central Asian republics is=20 = Uzbekistan.=20 Thus, it comes as no surprise that=20 = Uzbekistan=20 was forcefully mentioned by President George W. Bush = in his=20 address to a joint session of Congress, just days = after the=20 attacks of September 11, as the very first place that = the=20 = U.S.=20 military would be deployed.

As FTW = has=20 documented in previous stories, major deployments of=20 = U.S.=20 and British forces had taken place before the attacks. = And the=20 U.S. Army and the CIA had been active in=20 = Uzbekistan=20 for several years. There is now evidence that what the = world=20 is witnessing is a cold and calculated war plan - at = least=20 four years in the making - and that, from reading = Brzezinski's=20 own words about Pearl Harbor, = the=20 World=20 Trade=20 Center = attacks were=20 just the trigger needed to set the final conquest in=20 motion.

----------

FTW, November 7, 2001, 1200 PST = (Revised Jan.=20 21,2001) - There's a quote often attributed to Allen = Dulles=20 after it was noted that the final 1964 report of the = Warren=20 Commission on the assassination of JFK contained = dramatic=20 inconsistencies. Those inconsistencies, in effect, = disproved=20 the Commission's own final conclusion that Lee Harvey = Oswald=20 acted alone on November 22, 1963. Dulles, a = career=20 spy, Wall Street lawyer, the CIA director whom JFK had = fired=20 after the 1961 Bay of Pigs = fiasco - and=20 the Warren Commission member who took charge of the=20 investigation and final report - is reported to have = said,=20 "The American people don't read."

Some Americans do read. So do = Europeans and=20 Asians and Africans and Latin Americans.

World events since the attacks of = September 11, = 2001=20 have not only been predicted, but also planned, = orchestrated=20 and - as their architects would like to believe - = controlled.=20 The current Central Asian war is not a response to = terrorism,=20 nor is it a reaction to Islamic fundamentalism. It is = in fact,=20 in the words of one of the most powerful men on the = planet,=20 the beginning of a final conflict before total world=20 domination by the = United=20 States leads to the=20 dissolution of all national governments. This, says = Council on=20 Foreign Relations (CFR) member and former Carter = National=20 Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, will lead to = nation=20 states being incorporated into a new world order, = controlled=20 solely by economic interests as dictated by banks,=20 corporations and ruling elites concerned with the = maintenance=20 (by manipulation and war) of their power. As a means = of=20 intimidation for the unenlightened reader who happens = upon=20 this frightening plan - the plan of the CFR - = Brzezinski=20 offers the alternative of a world in chaos unless the=20 = U.S.=20 controls the planet by whatever means are necessary = and likely=20 to succeed.

This position is corroborated by = Dr. Johannes=20 B. Koeppl, Ph.D. a former German defense ministry = official and=20 advisor to former NATO Secretary General Manfred = Werner. On=20 November 6, he told FTW, "The interests behind the = Bush=20 Administration, such as the CFR, The Trilateral = Commission -=20 founded by Brzezinski for David Rockefeller - and the=20 Bilderberger Group, have prepared for and are now = moving to=20 implement open world dictatorship within the next five = years.=20 They are not fighting against terrorists. They are = fighting=20 against citizens."

Brzezinski's own words - laid = against the=20 current official line that the=20 United=20 States is waging a = war to end=20 terrorism - are self-incriminating. In an ongoing = series of=20 articles, FTW has = consistently=20 established that the=20 = U.S.=20 government had foreknowledge of the=20 World=20 Trade=20 Center = attacks and=20 chose not to stop them because it needed to secure = public=20 approval for a war that is now in progress. It is a = war, as=20 described by Vice President Dick Cheney, "that may not = end in=20 our lifetimes." What that means is that it will not = end until=20 all armed groups, anywhere in the world, which possess = the=20 political, economic or military ability to resist the=20 imposition of this dictatorship, have been destroyed. =

These are the "terrorists" the=20 = U.S.=20 now fights in=20 = Afghanistan=20 and plans to soon fight all over the globe.

Before exposing Brzezinski (and = those he=20 represents) with his own words, or hearing more from = Dr.=20 Koeppl, it is worthwhile to take a look at = Brzezinski's=20 background.

According to his resume Brzezinski, = holding a=20 1953 Ph.D. from Harvard, lists the following = achievements:

Counselor, Center for Strategic and = International Studies

Professor of American Foreign = Policy,=20 Johns=20 Hopkins=20 = University

National Security Advisor to = President Jimmy=20 Carter (1977-81)

Trustee and founder of the = Trilateral=20 Commission

International advisor of several = major=20 US/Global corporations

Associate of Henry Kissinger

Under Ronald Reagan - member of = NSC-Defense=20 Department Commission on Integrated Long-Term = Strategy

Under Ronald Reagan - member of the = President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board

Past member, Board of Directors, = The Council=20 on Foreign Relations

1988 - Co-chairman of the Bush = National=20 Security Advisory Task Force.

Brzezinski is also a past attendee = and=20 presenter at several conferences of the Bilderberger = group - a=20 non-partisan affiliation of the wealthiest and most = powerful=20 families and corporations on the planet.

The Grand Chessboard

Brzezinski sets the tone for his = strategy by=20 describing=20 = Russia=20 and=20 = China=20 as the two most important countries - almost but not = quite=20 superpowers - whose interests that might threaten the=20 = U.S.=20 in Central Asia. Of the two, = Brzezinski=20 considers=20 = Russia=20 to be the more serious threat. Both nations border=20 Central Asia. In a lesser = context he=20 describes the Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Iran and Kazakhstan = as=20 essential "lesser" nations that must be managed by the = U.S. as=20 buffers or counterweights to Russian and Chinese moves = to=20 control the oil, gas and minerals of the Central Asian = Republics (Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and=20 Kyrgyzstan).

He also notes, quite clearly (p. = 53) that any=20 nation that might become predominant in = Central=20 Asia would directly threaten the current=20 = U.S.=20 control of oil resources in the Persian=20 Gulf. In reading the book it becomes clear = why the=20 U.S. had a direct motive for the looting of some $300 = billion=20 in Russian assets during the 1990s, destabilizing = Russia's=20 currency (1998) and ensuring that a weakened Russia = would have=20 to look westward=E6 to Europe for economic and = political=20 survival, rather than southward to Central Asia. A = dependent=20 = Russia=20 would lack the military, economic and political clout = to exert=20 influence in the region and this weakening of=20 = Russia=20 would explain why Russian President Vladimir Putin has = been=20 such a willing ally of=20 = U.S.=20 efforts to date. (See FTW Vol. IV, No. 1 - March 31, = 2001)

An examination of selected quotes = from "The=20 Grand Chessboard," in the context of current events = reveals=20 the darker agenda behind military operations that were = planned=20 long before September=20 11th, 2001.

"...The last decade of the = twentieth century=20 has witnessed a tectonic shift in world affairs. For = the first=20 time ever, a non-Eurasian power has emerged not only = as a key=20 arbiter of Eurasian power relations but also as the = world's=20 paramount power. The defeat and collapse of the=20 Soviet Union was the final step = in the=20 rapid ascendance of a Western=20 Hemisphere power, the=20 United=20 States, as the sole = and,=20 indeed, the first truly global power... (p. xiii)

"... But in the meantime, it is = imperative=20 that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable of = dominating=20 Eurasia and thus of also = challenging=20 = America. = The formulation of a comprehensive and integrated = Eurasian=20 geostrategy is therefore the purpose of this book. (p. = xiv)

"The attitude of the American = public toward=20 the external projection of American power has been = much more=20 ambivalent. The public supported=20 = America's= =20 engagement in World War II largely because of the = shock effect=20 of the Japanese attack on Pearl = Harbor.=20 (pp 24-5)

"For=20 = America, = the chief geopolitical prize is=20 Eurasia... Now a non-Eurasian = power is=20 preeminent in Eurasia - and=20 = America's= =20 global primacy is directly dependent on how long and = how=20 effectively its preponderance on the Eurasian = continent is=20 sustained. (p.30)

"America's=20 withdrawal from the world or because of the sudden = emergence=20 of a successful rival - would produce massive = international=20 instability. It would prompt global anarchy." (p. = 30)

"In that context, how=20 = America=20 'manages' Eurasia is critical.=20 Eurasia is the globe's largest=20 continent and is geopolitically axial. A power that = dominates=20 Eurasia would control two of = the=20 world's three most advanced and economically = productive=20 regions. A mere glance at the map also suggests that = control=20 over Eurasia would almost = automatically=20 entail Africa's subordination,=20 rendering the Western = Hemisphere and=20 Oceania geopolitically = peripheral to=20 the world's central continent. About 75 per cent of = the=20 world's people live in Eurasia, = and=20 most of the world's physical wealth is there as well, = both in=20 its enterprises and underneath its soil.=20 Eurasia accounts for 60 per = cent of the=20 world's GNP and about three-fourths of the world's = known=20 energy resources." (p.31)

It is also a fact that=20 = America=20 is too democratic at home to be autocratic abroad. = This limits=20 the use of=20 = America's= =20 power, especially its capacity for military = intimidation.=20 Never before has a populist democracy attained = international=20 supremacy. But the pursuit of power is not a goal that = commands popular passion, except in conditions of a = sudden=20 threat or challenge to the public's sense of domestic=20 well-being. The economic self-denial (that is, defense = spending) and the human sacrifice (casualties, even = among=20 professional soldiers) required in the effort are = uncongenial=20 to democratic instincts. Democracy is inimical to = imperial=20 mobilization." (p.35)

"Two basic steps are thus required: = first, to=20 identify the geostrategically dynamic Eurasian states = that=20 have the power to cause a potentially important shift = in the=20 international distribution of power and to decipher = the=20 central external goals of their respective political = elites=20 and the likely consequences of their seeking to attain = them;... second, to formulate specific U.S. policies = to=20 offset, co-opt, and/or control the above..."=E6 (p. = 40)

"...To put it in a terminology that = harkens=20 back to the more brutal age of ancient empires, the = three=20 grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to = prevent=20 collusion and maintain security dependence among the = vassals,=20 to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep = the=20 barbarians from coming together." (p.40)

"Henceforth, the=20 United=20 States may have to = determine=20 how to cope with regional coalitions that seek to push = = America=20 out of Eurasia, thereby = threatening=20 = America's= =20 status as a global power." (p.55)

=E6"Uzbekistan= ,=20 nationally the most vital and the most populous of the = central=20 Asian states, represents the major obstacle to any = renewed=20 Russian control over the region. Its independence is = critical=20 to the survival of the other Central Asian states, and = it is=20 the least vulnerable to Russian pressures." (p. = 121)

Referring to an area he calls the = "Eurasian=20 Balkans" and a 1997 map in which he has circled the = exact=20 location of the current conflict - describing it as = the=20 central region of pending conflict for world dominance = -=20 Brzezinski writes: "Moreover, they [the Central Asian=20 Republics] are of importance from the standpoint of = security=20 and historical ambitions to at least three of their = most=20 immediate and more powerful neighbors, namely Russia, = Turkey=20 and Iran, with China also signaling an increasing = political=20 interest in the region. But the Eurasian Balkans are=20 infinitely more important as a potential economic = prize: an=20 enormous concentration of natural gas and oil reserves = is=20 located in the region, in addition to important = minerals,=20 including gold." (p.124) [Emphasis added]

"The world's energy consumption is = bound to=20 vastly increase over the next two or three decades. = Estimates=20 by the U.S. Department of energy anticipate that world = demand=20 will rise by more than 50 percent between 1993 and = 2015, with=20 the most significant increase in consumption occurring = in the=20 Far East. The momentum of=20 Asia's economic development is = already=20 generating massive pressures for the exploration and=20 exploitation of new sources of energy and the Central = Asian=20 region and the Caspian Sea = basin are=20 known to contain reserves of natural gas and oil that = dwarf=20 those of=20 = Kuwait,=20 the Gulf of Mexico, or the=20 North Sea." (p.125)

"Uzbekistan=20 is, in fact, the prime candidate for regional = leadership in=20 Central Asia." (p.130)

"Once pipelines to the area have = been=20 developed,=20 = Turkmenistan's=20 truly vast natural gas reserves augur a prosperous = future for=20 the country's people. (p.132)

"In fact, an Islamic revival - = already=20 abetted from the outside not only by Iran but also by = Saudi=20 Arabia - is likely to become the mobilizing impulse = for the=20 increasingly pervasive new nationalisms, determined to = oppose=20 any reintegration under Russian - and hence infidel -=20 control." (p. 133).

"For=20 = Pakistan,= =20 the primary interest is to gain Geostrategic depth = through=20 political influence in=20 = Afghanistan=20 - and to deny to=20 = Iran=20 the exercise of such influence in=20 = Afghanistan=20 and=20 = Tajikistan=20 - and to benefit eventually from any pipeline = construction=20 linking Central Asia with the=20 Arabian Sea."=E6 (p.139)

"Turkmenistan<= /ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>...=20 has been actively exploring the construction of a new = pipeline=20 through=20 = Afghanistan=20 and=20 = Pakistan = to the Arabian Sea..." = (p.145)

"It follows that=20 = America's= =20 primary interest is to help ensure that no single = power comes=20 to control this geopolitical space and that the global = community has unhindered financial and economic access = to it."=20 (p148)

"China's=20 growing economic presence in the region and its = political=20 stake in the area's independence are also congruent = with=20 = America's= =20 interests." (p.149)

"America=20 is now the only global superpower, and=20 Eurasia is the globe's central = arena.=20 Hence, what happens to the distribution of power on = the=20 Eurasian continent will be of decisive importance to=20 = America's= =20 global primacy and to=20 = America's= =20 historical legacy."=E6 (p.194)

"Without sustained and directed = American=20 involvement, before long the forces of global disorder = could=20 come to dominate the world scene. And the possibility = of such=20 a fragmentation is inherent in the geopolitical = tensions not=20 only of today's Eurasia but of = the=20 world more generally." (p.194)

"With warning signs on the horizon = across=20 Europe and = Asia,=20 any successful American policy must focus on=20 Eurasia as a whole and be = guided by a=20 Geostrategic design." (p.197)

"That puts a premium on maneuver = and=20 manipulation in order to prevent the emergence of a = hostile=20 coalition that could eventually seek to challenge=20 = America's= =20 primacy..." (p. 198)

"The most immediate task is to make = certain=20 that no state or combination of states gains the = capacity to=20 expel the United=20 States from=20 Eurasia or even to diminish=20 significantly its decisive arbitration role." (p. = 198)

"In the long run, global politics = are bound=20 to become increasingly uncongenial to the = concentration of=20 hegemonic power in the hands of a single state. Hence, = = America=20 is not only the first, as well as the only, truly = global=20 superpower, but it is also likely to be the very = last."=20 (p.209)

"Moreover, as=20 = America=20 becomes an increasingly multi-cultural society, it may = find it=20 more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign = policy=20 issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive = and=20 widely perceived direct external threat."=E6 (p. 211) = [Emphasis=20 added]

The Horror - And Comments From = Someone Who=20 Worked With Brzezinski

Brzezinski's book is sublimely = arrogant.=20 While singing the praises of the IMF and the World = Bank, which=20 have economically terrorized nations on every = continent, and=20 while totally ignoring the worldwide terrorist actions = of the=20 U.S. government that have led to genocide; cluster = bombings of=20 civilian populations from Kosovo, to Laos, to Iraq, to = Afghanistan; the development and battlefield use of = both=20 biological and chemical agents such as Sarin gas; and = the=20 financial rape of entire cultures, it would leave the = reader=20 believing that such actions are for the good of = mankind.

While seconded from the German = defense=20 ministry to NATO in the late 1970s, Dr. Johannes = Koeppl=20 traveled to=20 = Washington on=20 more than one occasion. He also met with Brzezinski in = the=20 White House on more than one occasion. His other=20 = Washington=20 contacts included Steve Larabee from the CFR, John J. = McCloy,=20 former CIA Director, economist Milton Friedman, and = officials=20 from Carter's Office of Management and Budget. He is = the first=20 person I have ever interviewed who has made a direct=20 presentation at a Bilderberger conference and he has = also made=20 numerous presentations to sub-groups of the Trilateral = Commission. That was before he spoke out against = them.

His fall was rapid after he = realized that=20 Brzezinski was part of a group intending to impose a = world=20 dictatorship. "In 1983/4 I warned of a take-over of = world=20 governments being orchestrated by these people. There = was an=20 obvious plan to subvert true democracies and selected = leaders=20 were not being chosen based upon character but upon = their=20 loyalty to an economic system run by the elites and = dedicated=20 to preserving their power.

"All we have now are = pseudo-democracies."

Koeppl recalls meeting U.S. = Congressman Larry=20 McDonald in Nuremburg in the early 80s. McDonald, who = was then=20 contemplating a run for the Presidency, was a severe = critic of=20 these elites. He was killed in the Russian shootdown = of Korean=20 Air flight 007 in 1985. Koeppl believes that it might = have=20 been an assassination. Over the years many writers = have made=20 these allegations about 007 and the fact that someone = with=20 Koeppl's credentials believes that an entire plane = full of=20 passengers would be destroyed to eliminate one man = offers a=20 chilling opinion of the value placed on human life by = the=20 powers that be.

In 1983, Koeppl warned, through = Op-Ed pieces=20 published in NEWSWEEK and elsewhere, that Brzezinski = and the=20 CFR were part of an effort to impose a global = dictatorship.=20 His fall from grace was swift. "It was a criminal = society that=20 I was dealing with. It was not possible to publish = anymore in=20 the so-called respected publications. My 30 year = career in=20 politics ended.

"The people of the western world = have been=20 trained to be good consumers; to focus on money, = sports cars,=20 beauty, consumer goods. They have not been trained to = look for=20 character in people. Therefore what we need is = education for=20 politicians, a form of training that instills in them = a higher=20 sense of ethics than service to money. There is no = training=20 now for world leaders. This is a shame because of the=20 responsibility that leaders hold to benefit all = mankind rather=20 than to blindly pursue destructive paths.

"We also need education for = citizens to be=20 more efficient in their democracies, in addition to = education=20 for politicians that will create a new network of = elites based=20 upon character and social intelligence."

Koeppl, who wrote his 1989 doctoral = thesis on=20 NATO management, also authored a 1989 book - largely = ignored=20 because of its controversial revelations - entitled = "The Most=20 Important Secrets in the World." He maintains a German = language web site at http://www.antaris.com/ and he can be = reached=20 by email at jbk@antaris.com. =

As to the present conflict Koeppl = expressed=20 the gravest concerns, "This is more than a war against = terrorism. This is a war against the citizens of all=20 countries. The current elites are creating so much = fear that=20 people don't know how to respond. But they must = remember. This=20 is a move to implement a world dictatorship within the = next=20 five years. There may not be another chance."
