A War in the Planning for Four Years
HOW STUPID DO THEY THINK WE ARE?
Zbigniew Brzezinski and the CFR Put War Plans In a 1997 Book -
It Is "A Blueprint for World Dictatorship," Says a Former
German Defense and NATO Official Who Warned of Global
Domination in 1984,
in an Exclusive Interview With FTW
by
Michael C. Ruppert
"THE GRAND CHESSBOARD - American Primacy And It's Geostrategic
Imperatives," Zbigniew Brzezinski, Basic Books, 1997.
These are the very first words in the book: "Ever since the
continents started interacting politically, some five hundred
years ago, Eurasia has been the center of world power."- p.
xiii. Eurasia is all of the territory east of Germany and
Poland, stretching all the way through Russia and China to the
Pacific Ocean. It includes the Middle East and most of the
Indian subcontinent. The key to controlling Eurasia, says
Brzezinski, is controlling the Central Asian Republics. And
the key to controlling the Central Asian republics is
Uzbekistan. Thus, it comes as no surprise that Uzbekistan was
forcefully mentioned by President George W. Bush in his
address to a joint session of Congress, just days after the
attacks of September 11, as the very first place that the U.S.
military would be deployed.
As FTW has documented in previous stories, major deployments
of U.S. and British forces had taken place before the attacks.
And the U.S. Army and the CIA had been active in Uzbekistan
for several years. There is now evidence that what the world
is witnessing is a cold and calculated war plan - at least
four years in the making - and that, from reading Brzezinski's
own words about Pearl Harbor, the World Trade Center attacks
were just the trigger needed to set the final conquest in
motion.
----------
FTW, November 7, 2001, 1200 PST (Revised Jan. 21,2002) -
There's a quote often attributed to Allen Dulles after it was
noted that the final 1964 report of the Warren Commission on
the assassination of JFK contained dramatic inconsistencies.
Those inconsistencies, in effect, disproved the Commission's
own final conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone on
November 22, 1963. Dulles, a career spy, Wall Street lawyer,
the CIA director whom JFK had fired after the 1961 Bay of Pigs
fiasco - and the Warren Commission member who took charge of
the investigation and final report - is reported to have said,
"The American people don't read."
Some Americans do read. So do Europeans and Asians and
Africans and Latin Americans.
World events since the attacks of September 11, 2001 have not
only been predicted, but also planned, orchestrated and - as
their architects would like to believe - controlled. The
current Central Asian war is not a response to terrorism, nor
is it a reaction to Islamic fundamentalism. It is in fact, in
the words of one of the most powerful men on the planet, the
beginning of a final conflict before total world domination by
the United States leads to the dissolution of all national
governments. This, says Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)
member and former Carter National Security Advisor, Zbigniew
Brzezinski, will lead to nation states being incorporated into
a new world order, controlled solely by economic interests as
dictated by banks, corporations and ruling elites concerned
with the maintenance (by manipulation and war) of their power.
As a means of intimidation for the unenlightened reader who
happens upon this frightening plan - the plan of the CFR -
Brzezinski offers the alternative of a world in chaos unless
the U.S. controls the planet by whatever means are necessary
and likely to succeed.
This position is corroborated by Dr. Johannes B. Koeppl, Ph.D.
a former German defense ministry official and advisor to
former NATO Secretary General Manfred Werner. On November 6,
he told FTW, "The interests behind the Bush Administration,
such as the CFR, The Trilateral Commission - founded by
Brzezinski for David Rockefeller - and the Bilderberger Group,
have prepared for and are now moving to implement open world
dictatorship within the next five years. They are not fighting
against terrorists. They are fighting against citizens."
Brzezinski's own words - laid against the current official
line that the United States is waging a war to end terrorism -
are self-incriminating. In an ongoing series of articles, FTW
has consistently established that the U.S. government had
foreknowledge of the World Trade Center attacks and chose not
to stop them because it needed to secure public approval for a
war that is now in progress. It is a war, as described by Vice
President Dick Cheney, "that may not end in our lifetimes."
What that means is that it will not end until all armed
groups, anywhere in the world, which possess the political,
economic or military ability to resist the imposition of this
dictatorship, have been destroyed.
These are the "terrorists" the U.S. now fights in Afghanistan
and plans to soon fight all over the globe.
Before exposing Brzezinski (and those he represents) with his
own words, or hearing more from Dr. Koeppl, it is worthwhile
to take a look at Brzezinski's background.
According to his resume Brzezinski, holding a 1953 Ph.D. from
Harvard, lists the following achievements:
Counselor, Center for Strategic and International Studies
Professor of American Foreign Policy, Johns Hopkins University
National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter (1977-81)
Trustee and founder of the Trilateral Commission
International advisor of several major US/Global corporations
Associate of Henry Kissinger
Under Ronald Reagan - member of NSC-Defense 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 on Foreign
Relations
1988 - Co-chairman of the Bush National Security Advisory Task
Force.
Brzezinski is also a past attendee and presenter at several
conferences of the Bilderberger group - a non-partisan
affiliation of the wealthiest and most powerful families and
corporations on the planet.
The Grand Chessboard
Brzezinski sets the tone for his strategy by describing Russia
and China as the two most important countries - almost but not
quite superpowers - whose interests that might threaten the
U.S. in Central Asia. Of the two, Brzezinski considers Russia
to be the more serious threat. Both nations border Central
Asia. In a lesser context he describes the Ukraine,
Azerbaijan, Iran and Kazakhstan as essential "lesser" nations
that must be managed by the U.S. as buffers or counterweights
to Russian and Chinese moves to control the oil, gas and
minerals of the Central Asian Republics (Turkmenistan,
Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan).
He also notes, quite clearly (p. 53) that any nation that
might become predominant in Central Asia would directly
threaten the current U.S. control of oil resources in the
Persian Gulf. In reading the book it becomes clear why the
U.S. had a direct motive for the looting of some $300 billion
in Russian assets during the 1990s, destabilizing Russia's
currency (199
and ensuring that a weakened Russia would have
to look westward to Europe for economic and political
survival, rather than southward to Central Asia. A dependent
Russia would lack the military, economic and political clout
to exert influence in the region and this weakening of Russia
would explain why Russian President Vladimir Putin has been
such a willing ally of U.S. efforts to date. (See FTW Vol. IV,
No. 1 - March 31, 2001)
An examination of selected quotes from "The Grand Chessboard,"
in the context of current events reveals the darker agenda
behind military operations that were planned long before
September 11th, 2001.
"...The last decade of the twentieth century has witnessed a
tectonic shift in world affairs. For the first time ever, a
non-Eurasian power has emerged not only as a key arbiter of
Eurasian power relations but also as the world's paramount
power. The defeat and collapse of the Soviet Union was the
final step in the rapid ascendance of a Western Hemisphere
power, the United States, as the sole and, indeed, the first
truly global power... (p. xiii)
"... But in the meantime, it is imperative that no Eurasian
challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus of
also challenging America. The formulation of a comprehensive
and integrated Eurasian geostrategy is therefore the purpose
of this book. (p. xiv)
"The attitude of the American public toward the external
projection of American power has been much more ambivalent.
The public supported America's engagement in World War II
largely because of the shock effect of the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor. (pp 24-5)
"For America, the chief geopolitical prize is Eurasia... Now a
non-Eurasian power is preeminent in Eurasia - and America's
global primacy is directly dependent on how long and how
effectively its preponderance on the Eurasian continent is
sustained. (p.30)
"America's withdrawal from the world or because of the sudden
emergence of a successful rival - would produce massive
international instability. It would prompt global anarchy."
(p. 30)
"In that context, how America 'manages' Eurasia is critical.
Eurasia is the globe's largest continent and is geopolitically
axial. A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the
world's three most advanced and economically productive
regions. A mere glance at the map also suggests that control
over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa's
subordination, rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania
geopolitically peripheral to the world's central continent.
About 75 per cent of the world's people live in Eurasia, and
most of the world's physical wealth is there as well, both in
its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for
60 per cent of the world's GNP and about three-fourths of the
world's known energy resources." (p.31)
It is also a fact that America is too democratic at home to be
autocratic abroad. This limits the use of America's power,
especially its capacity for military intimidation. Never
before has a populist democracy attained international
supremacy. But the pursuit of power is not a goal that
commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden
threat or challenge to the public's sense of domestic
well-being. The economic self-denial (that is, defense
spending) and the human sacrifice (casualties, even among
professional soldiers) required in the effort are uncongenial
to democratic instincts. Democracy is inimical to imperial
mobilization." (p.35)
"Two basic steps are thus required: first, to identify the
geostrategically dynamic Eurasian states that have the power
to cause a potentially important shift in the international
distribution of power and to decipher the central external
goals of their respective political elites and the likely
consequences of their seeking to attain them;... second, to
formulate specific U.S. policies to offset, co-opt, and/or
control the above..." (p. 40)
"...To put it in a terminology that harkens back to the more
brutal age of ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of
imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain
security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries
pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming
together." (p.40)
"Henceforth, the United States may have to determine how to
cope with regional coalitions that seek to push America out of
Eurasia, thereby threatening America's status as a global
power." (p.55)
"Uzbekistan, nationally the most vital and the most populous
of the central Asian states, represents the major obstacle to
any renewed Russian control over the region. Its independence
is critical to the survival of the other Central Asian states,
and it is the least vulnerable to Russian pressures." (p. 121)
Referring to an area he calls the "Eurasian Balkans" and a
1997 map in which he has circled the exact location of the
current conflict - describing it as the central region of
pending conflict for world dominance - Brzezinski writes:
"Moreover, they [the Central Asian Republics] are of
importance from the standpoint of security and historical
ambitions to at least three of their most immediate and more
powerful neighbors, namely Russia, Turkey and Iran, with China
also signaling an increasing political interest in the region.
But the Eurasian Balkans are infinitely more important as a
potential economic prize: an enormous concentration of natural
gas and oil reserves is located in the region, in addition to
important minerals, including gold." (p.124) [Emphasis added]
"The world's energy consumption is bound to vastly increase
over the next two or three decades. Estimates by the U.S.
Department of energy anticipate that world demand will rise by
more than 50 percent between 1993 and 2015, with the most
significant increase in consumption occurring in the Far East.
The momentum of Asia's economic development is already
generating massive pressures for the exploration and
exploitation of new sources of energy and the Central Asian
region and the Caspian Sea basin are known to contain reserves
of natural gas and oil that dwarf those of Kuwait, the Gulf of
Mexico, or the North Sea." (p.125)
"Uzbekistan is, in fact, the prime candidate for regional
leadership in Central Asia." (p.130)
"Once pipelines to the area have been developed,
Turkmenistan's truly vast natural gas reserves augur a
prosperous future for the country's people. (p.132)
"In fact, an Islamic revival - already abetted from the
outside not only by Iran but also by Saudi Arabia - is likely
to become the mobilizing impulse for the increasingly
pervasive new nationalisms, determined to oppose any
reintegration under Russian - and hence infidel - control."
(p. 133).
"For Pakistan, the primary interest is to gain Geostrategic
depth through political influence in Afghanistan - and to deny
to Iran the exercise of such influence in Afghanistan and
Tajikistan - and to benefit eventually from any pipeline
construction linking Central Asia with the Arabian Sea."
(p.139)
"Turkmenistan... has been actively exploring the construction
of a new pipeline through Afghanistan and Pakistan to the
Arabian Sea..." (p.145)
"It follows that America's primary interest is to help ensure
that no single power comes to control this geopolitical space
and that the global community has unhindered financial and
economic access to it." (p14
"China's growing economic presence in the region and its
political stake in the area's independence are also congruent
with America's interests." (p.149)
"America is now the only global superpower, and Eurasia is the
globe's central arena. Hence, what happens to the distribution
of power on the Eurasian continent will be of decisive
importance to America's global primacy and to America's
historical legacy." (p.194)
"Without sustained and directed American involvement, before
long the forces of global disorder could come to dominate the
world scene. And the possibility of such a fragmentation is
inherent in the geopolitical tensions not only of today's
Eurasia but of the world more generally." (p.194)
"With warning signs on the horizon across Europe and Asia, any
successful American policy must focus on Eurasia as a whole
and be guided by a Geostrategic design." (p.197)
"That puts a premium on maneuver and manipulation in order to
prevent the emergence of a hostile coalition that could
eventually seek to challenge America's primacy..." (p. 19
"The most immediate task is to make certain that no state or
combination of states gains the capacity to expel the United
States from Eurasia or even to diminish significantly its
decisive arbitration role." (p. 19
"In the long run, global politics are bound to become
increasingly uncongenial to the concentration of hegemonic
power in the hands of a single state. Hence, America is not
only the first, as well as the only, truly global superpower,
but it is also likely to be the very last." (p.209)
"Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural
society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus
on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a
truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat."
(p. 211)
The Horror - And Comments From Someone Who Worked With
Brzezinski
Brzezinski's book is sublimely arrogant. While singing the
praises of the IMF and the World Bank, which have economically
terrorized nations on every continent, and while totally
ignoring the worldwide terrorist actions of the U.S.
government that have led to genocide; cluster bombings of
civilian populations from Kosovo, to Laos, to Iraq, to
Afghanistan; the development and battlefield use of both
biological and chemical agents such as Sarin gas; and the
financial rape of entire cultures, it would leave the reader
believing that such actions are for the good of mankind.
While seconded from the German defense ministry to NATO in the
late 1970s, Dr. Johannes Koeppl traveled to Washington on more
than one occasion. He also met with Brzezinski in the White
House on more than one occasion. His other Washington contacts
included Steve Larabee from the CFR, John J. McCloy, former
CIA Director, economist Milton Friedman, and officials from
Carter's Office of Management and Budget. He is the first
person I have ever interviewed who has made a direct
presentation at a Bilderberger conference and he has also made
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 Brzezinski was part
of a group intending to impose a world dictatorship. "In
1983/4 I warned of a take-over of world governments being
orchestrated by these people. There was an obvious plan to
subvert true democracies and selected leaders were not being
chosen based upon character but upon their loyalty to an
economic system run by the elites and dedicated to preserving
their power.
"All we have now are pseudo-democracies."
Koeppl recalls meeting U.S. Congressman Larry McDonald in
Nuremburg in the early 80s. McDonald, who was then
contemplating a run for the Presidency, was a severe critic of
these elites. He was killed in the Russian shootdown of Korean
Air flight 007 in 1985. Koeppl believes that it might have
been an assassination. Over the years many writers have made
these allegations about 007 and the fact that someone with
Koeppl's credentials believes that an entire plane full of
passengers would be destroyed to eliminate one man offers a
chilling opinion of the value placed on human life by the
powers that be.
In 1983, Koeppl warned, through Op-Ed pieces published in
NEWSWEEK and elsewhere, that Brzezinski and the CFR were part
of an effort to impose a global dictatorship. His fall from
grace was swift. "It was a criminal society that I was dealing
with. It was not possible to publish anymore in the so-called
respected publications. My 30 year career in politics ended.
"The people of the western world have been trained to be good
consumers; to focus on money, sports cars, beauty, consumer
goods. They have not been trained to look for character in
people. Therefore what we need is education for politicians, a
form of training that instills in them a higher sense of
ethics than service to money. There is no training now for
world leaders. This is a shame because of the responsibility
that leaders hold to benefit all mankind rather than to
blindly pursue destructive paths.
"We also need education for citizens to be more efficient in
their democracies, in addition to education for politicians
that will create a new network of elites based upon character
and social intelligence."
Koeppl, who wrote his 1989 doctoral thesis on NATO management,
also authored a 1989 book - largely ignored because of its
controversial revelations - entitled "The Most Important
Secrets in the World." He maintains a German language web site
at www.antaris.com and he can be reached by email at
jbk@antaris.com.
As to the present conflict Koeppl expressed the gravest
concerns, "This is more than a war against terrorism. This is
a war against the citizens of all countries. The current
elites are creating so much fear that people don't know how to
respond. But they must remember. This is a move to implement a
world dictatorship within the next five years. There may not
be another chance."

Zbigniew Brzezinski and the CFR Put War Plans In a 1997 Book -
It Is "A Blueprint for World Dictatorship," Says a Former

Domination in 1984,

FTW, November 7, 2001, 1200 PST (Revised Jan. 21,2002) -
There's a quote often attributed to Allen Dulles after it was
noted that the final 1964 report of the Warren Commission on
the assassination of JFK contained dramatic inconsistencies.
Those inconsistencies, in effect, disproved the Commission's
own final conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone on

the CIA director whom JFK had fired after the 1961 Bay of Pigs

"The American people don't read."
Some Americans do read. So do Europeans and Asians and
Africans and Latin Americans.
World events since the attacks of September 11, 2001 have not
only been predicted, but also planned, orchestrated and - as
their architects would like to believe - controlled. The
current Central Asian war is not a response to terrorism, nor
is it a reaction to Islamic fundamentalism. It is in fact, in
the words of one of the most powerful men on the planet, the
beginning of a final conflict before total world domination by
the United States leads to the dissolution of all national
governments. This, says Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)
member and former Carter National Security Advisor, Zbigniew
Brzezinski, will lead to nation states being incorporated into
a new world order, controlled solely by economic interests as
dictated by banks, corporations and ruling elites concerned
with the maintenance (by manipulation and war) of their power.
As a means of intimidation for the unenlightened reader who
happens upon this frightening plan - the plan of the CFR -
Brzezinski offers the alternative of a world in chaos unless
the U.S. controls the planet by whatever means are necessary
and likely to succeed.
This position is corroborated by Dr. Johannes B. Koeppl, Ph.D.
a former German defense ministry official and advisor to
former NATO Secretary General Manfred Werner. On November 6,
he told FTW, "The interests behind the Bush Administration,
such as the CFR, The Trilateral Commission - founded by
Brzezinski for David Rockefeller - and the Bilderberger Group,

Brzezinski's own words - laid against the current official
line that the United States is waging a war to end terrorism -
are self-incriminating. In an ongoing series of articles, FTW
has consistently established that the U.S. government had
foreknowledge of the World Trade Center attacks and chose not
to stop them because it needed to secure public approval for a
war that is now in progress. It is a war, as described by Vice
President Dick Cheney, "that may not end in our lifetimes."
What that means is that it will not end until all armed
groups, anywhere in the world, which possess the political,
economic or military ability to resist the imposition of this
dictatorship, have been destroyed.
These are the "terrorists" the U.S. now fights in Afghanistan
and plans to soon fight all over the globe.
Before exposing Brzezinski (and those he represents) with his
own words, or hearing more from Dr. Koeppl, it is worthwhile
to take a look at Brzezinski's background.
According to his resume Brzezinski, holding a 1953 Ph.D. from
Harvard, lists the following achievements:
Counselor, Center for Strategic and International Studies
Professor of American Foreign Policy, Johns Hopkins University
National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter (1977-81)
Trustee and founder of the Trilateral Commission
International advisor of several major US/Global corporations
Associate of Henry Kissinger
Under Ronald Reagan - member of NSC-Defense 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 on Foreign
Relations
1988 - Co-chairman of the Bush National Security Advisory Task
Force.
Brzezinski is also a past attendee and presenter at several
conferences of the Bilderberger group - a non-partisan
affiliation of the wealthiest and most powerful families and
corporations on the planet.
The Grand Chessboard
Brzezinski sets the tone for his strategy by describing Russia
and China as the two most important countries - almost but not
quite superpowers - whose interests that might threaten the
U.S. in Central Asia. Of the two, Brzezinski considers Russia
to be the more serious threat. Both nations border Central
Asia. In a lesser context he describes the Ukraine,
Azerbaijan, Iran and Kazakhstan as essential "lesser" nations
that must be managed by the U.S. as buffers or counterweights
to Russian and Chinese moves to control the oil, gas and
minerals of the Central Asian Republics (Turkmenistan,
Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan).
He also notes, quite clearly (p. 53) that any nation that
might become predominant in Central Asia would directly
threaten the current U.S. control of oil resources in the
Persian Gulf. In reading the book it becomes clear why the
U.S. had a direct motive for the looting of some $300 billion
in Russian assets during the 1990s, destabilizing Russia's
currency (199
and ensuring that a weakened Russia would have to look westward to Europe for economic and political
survival, rather than southward to Central Asia. A dependent
Russia would lack the military, economic and political clout
to exert influence in the region and this weakening of Russia
would explain why Russian President Vladimir Putin has been
such a willing ally of U.S. efforts to date. (See FTW Vol. IV,
No. 1 - March 31, 2001)
An examination of selected quotes from "The Grand Chessboard,"
in the context of current events reveals the darker agenda
behind military operations that were planned long before
September 11th, 2001.
"...The last decade of the twentieth century has witnessed a
tectonic shift in world affairs. For the first time ever, a
non-Eurasian power has emerged not only as a key arbiter of
Eurasian power relations but also as the world's paramount
power. The defeat and collapse of the Soviet Union was the
final step in the rapid ascendance of a Western Hemisphere

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

"The attitude of the American public toward the external

"For America, the chief geopolitical prize is Eurasia... Now a

international instability. It would prompt global anarchy."
(p. 30)
"In that context, how America 'manages' Eurasia is critical.

world's three most advanced and economically productive

About 75 per cent of the world's people live in Eurasia, and
most of the world's physical wealth is there as well, both in

60 per cent of the world's GNP and about three-fourths of the
world's known energy resources." (p.31)

of the central Asian states, represents the major obstacle to
any renewed Russian control over the region. Its independence
is critical to the survival of the other Central Asian states,
and it is the least vulnerable to Russian pressures." (p. 121)
Referring to an area he calls the "Eurasian Balkans" and a
1997 map in which he has circled the exact location of the
current conflict - describing it as the central region of
pending conflict for world dominance - Brzezinski writes:
"Moreover, they [the Central Asian Republics] are of
importance from the standpoint of security and historical
ambitions to at least three of their most immediate and more
powerful neighbors, namely Russia, Turkey and Iran, with China
also signaling an increasing political interest in the region.
But the Eurasian Balkans are infinitely more important as a
potential economic prize: an enormous concentration of natural
gas and oil reserves is located in the region, in addition to
important minerals, including gold." (p.124) [Emphasis added]
"The world's energy consumption is bound to vastly increase
over the next two or three decades. Estimates by the U.S.
Department of energy anticipate that world demand will rise by
more than 50 percent between 1993 and 2015, with the most
significant increase in consumption occurring in the Far East.
The momentum of Asia's economic development is already
generating massive pressures for the exploration and
exploitation of new sources of energy and the Central Asian
region and the Caspian Sea basin are known to contain reserves
of natural gas and oil that dwarf those of Kuwait, the Gulf of
Mexico, or the North Sea." (p.125)
"Uzbekistan is, in fact, the prime candidate for regional
leadership in Central Asia." (p.130)
"Once pipelines to the area have been developed,
Turkmenistan's truly vast natural gas reserves augur a
prosperous future for the country's people. (p.132)
"In fact, an Islamic revival - already abetted from the
outside not only by Iran but also by Saudi Arabia - is likely
to become the mobilizing impulse for the increasingly
pervasive new nationalisms, determined to oppose any
reintegration under Russian - and hence infidel - control."
(p. 133).
"For Pakistan, the primary interest is to gain Geostrategic
depth through political influence in Afghanistan - and to deny
to Iran the exercise of such influence in Afghanistan and
Tajikistan - and to benefit eventually from any pipeline
construction linking Central Asia with the Arabian Sea."
(p.139)
"Turkmenistan... has been actively exploring the construction
of a new pipeline through Afghanistan and Pakistan to the
Arabian Sea..." (p.145)
"It follows that America's primary interest is to help ensure
that no single power comes to control this geopolitical space
and that the global community has unhindered financial and
economic access to it." (p14
"China's growing economic presence in the region and its
political stake in the area's independence are also congruent
with America's interests." (p.149)
"America is now the only global superpower, and Eurasia is the
globe's central arena. Hence, what happens to the distribution
of power on the Eurasian continent will be of decisive
importance to America's global primacy and to America's
historical legacy." (p.194)
"Without sustained and directed American involvement, before
long the forces of global disorder could come to dominate the
world scene. And the possibility of such a fragmentation is
inherent in the geopolitical tensions not only of today's
Eurasia but of the world more generally." (p.194)
"With warning signs on the horizon across Europe and Asia, any
successful American policy must focus on Eurasia as a whole
and be guided by a Geostrategic design." (p.197)
"That puts a premium on maneuver and manipulation in order to
prevent the emergence of a hostile coalition that could
eventually seek to challenge America's primacy..." (p. 19
"The most immediate task is to make certain that no state or
combination of states gains the capacity to expel the United
States from Eurasia or even to diminish significantly its
decisive arbitration role." (p. 19
"In the long run, global politics are bound to become
increasingly uncongenial to the concentration of hegemonic
power in the hands of a single state. Hence, America is not
only the first, as well as the only, truly global superpower,
but it is also likely to be the very last." (p.209)
"Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural
society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus
on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a
truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat."

The Horror - And Comments From Someone Who Worked With
Brzezinski
Brzezinski's book is sublimely arrogant. While singing the
praises of the IMF and the World Bank, which have economically
terrorized nations on every continent, and while totally
ignoring the worldwide terrorist actions of the U.S.
government that have led to genocide; cluster bombings of
civilian populations from Kosovo, to Laos, to Iraq, to
Afghanistan; the development and battlefield use of both
biological and chemical agents such as Sarin gas; and the
financial rape of entire cultures, it would leave the reader
believing that such actions are for the good of mankind.
While seconded from the German defense ministry to NATO in the
late 1970s, Dr. Johannes Koeppl traveled to Washington on more
than one occasion. He also met with Brzezinski in the White
House on more than one occasion. His other Washington contacts
included Steve Larabee from the CFR, John J. McCloy, former
CIA Director, economist Milton Friedman, and officials from
Carter's Office of Management and Budget. He is the first
person I have ever interviewed who has made a direct
presentation at a Bilderberger conference and he has also made
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 Brzezinski was part
of a group intending to impose a world dictatorship. "In
1983/4 I warned of a take-over of world governments being
orchestrated by these people. There was an obvious plan to
subvert true democracies and selected leaders were not being
chosen based upon character but upon their loyalty to an
economic system run by the elites and dedicated to preserving
their power.
"All we have now are pseudo-democracies."
Koeppl recalls meeting U.S. Congressman Larry McDonald in
Nuremburg in the early 80s. McDonald, who was then
contemplating a run for the Presidency, was a severe critic of
these elites. He was killed in the Russian shootdown of Korean
Air flight 007 in 1985. Koeppl believes that it might have
been an assassination. Over the years many writers have made
these allegations about 007 and the fact that someone with
Koeppl's credentials believes that an entire plane full of
passengers would be destroyed to eliminate one man offers a
chilling opinion of the value placed on human life by the
powers that be.
In 1983, Koeppl warned, through Op-Ed pieces published in
NEWSWEEK and elsewhere, that Brzezinski and the CFR were part
of an effort to impose a global dictatorship. His fall from
grace was swift. "It was a criminal society that I was dealing
with. It was not possible to publish anymore in the so-called
respected publications. My 30 year career in politics ended.
"The people of the western world have been trained to be good
consumers; to focus on money, sports cars, beauty, consumer
goods. They have not been trained to look for character in
people. Therefore what we need is education for politicians, a
form of training that instills in them a higher sense of
ethics than service to money. There is no training now for
world leaders. This is a shame because of the responsibility
that leaders hold to benefit all mankind rather than to
blindly pursue destructive paths.
"We also need education for citizens to be more efficient in
their democracies, in addition to education for politicians
that will create a new network of elites based upon character
and social intelligence."
Koeppl, who wrote his 1989 doctoral thesis on NATO management,
also authored a 1989 book - largely ignored because of its
controversial revelations - entitled "The Most Important
Secrets in the World." He maintains a German language web site
at www.antaris.com and he can be reached by email at
jbk@antaris.com.
As to the present conflict Koeppl expressed the gravest
concerns, "This is more than a war against terrorism. This is
a war against the citizens of all countries. The current
elites are creating so much fear that people don't know how to
respond. But they must remember. This is a move to implement a
world dictatorship within the next five years. There may not
be another chance."
