-Caveat Lector- from: http://nw3.nai.net/~virtual/sot/unrep.htm The Balkan Trap, by J. Adams Below is an editorial I wrote for my school newspaper that was published in February of 1994 under the title: "Involvement With Serbia Will Trigger World War Three". I'm presenting here even though it is five-years-old because the main points and the arguments made are just as relevant, if not more relevant, today as they were five years ago. The only thing which might be different is my conviction is much less today that Vladimir Zhirinovsky will necessarily be the nationalist dictator brought to power in a Russian coup. It could be some other candidate like Russian Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov (which would be through a palace coup). ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Balkan Trap By J. Adams February, 1994 --------------------------------------------------------- "If we presume the coming transformation of the Communist Party into the Russian Orthodox Party of the Soviet Union, we would obtain truly the ideal state, one which would fulfill the historical destiny of the Russian people. It is a question of the Orthodoxization of the entire world." (Gennadii Shimanov) "The messianic significance of Russia in relation to the West is beyond doubt. Slavophilism alone can still save the West from parliamentarism, unbelief, and dynamite." (Aleksei Kireev) (Quotes taken from opening page of Alexander Yanov's 'The Russian Challenge and the Year 2000'.) --------------------------------------------------------- As the West prepares to take military action against the Serbs, the world holds its breath wondering what will happen next. For anyone who knows the truth, however, the future is clear. Western military intervention in the Balkans is being intentionally provoked by the Russian- backed Serbs in order to trigger world war three. The general strategy is to provoke the West into taking military action against Russia's slavic brethren in order to create a pretext for a Zhirinovsky coup and massive Russian military aggression against the West. Notably, Zhirinovsky visited Serbia the week prior to the current crisis and declared that he would consider any action by NATO against Serbia an act of war against Russia. More specifically, Zhirinovsky proclaimed: "If a single bomb falls on Serbia we will consider that an attack on Russia". Last year I wrote an editorial, entitled "A Time For War", in which I warned that Russia is setting a trap so that, when Western military action is taken against the Serbs, "a militant neofacist dictator can be brought to power in Russia... That dictator - and I'll even tell you his name: Vladimir Zhirinovsky - can then be used to launch a third world war against Israel, America, and the Western allies...". Unfortunately, everyone appears to be ignoring the meaning of my editorials as well as the implications of "The Zhirinovsky Connection". The reason I was able to anticipate the crisis the world is currently being drawn into a year ago is because I believe the world has been totally deceived. As I see it, ever since Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in the mid-1980's and introduced his "New Thinking", Russia has been living by its old thinking in a new and far more dangerous form. One way to explain the unbelievable reversal in Russia's behavior over the past decade most likely stems from the "Russian Idea". In his books, 'The Russian New Right' (1978), and 'The Russian Challenge and the Year 2000' (1987), Sovietologist Alexander Yanov describes an ideological transformation that was taking place at the top of the Soviet power structure during the 1970's and early 1980's. This transformation stemmed from Russia's historical messianic complex. According to the "New Right", Russia's mission is to save the world from the evils of liberalism and democracy by waging an apocalyptic war against the West so that a global orthodox dictatorship can be established. Before doing this, however, communism needed to be overthrown and the Soviet empire disbanded so that Russia could get back to its "spiritual roots". As I see it, when Gorbachev rose to power in 1985, the program of the Russian Right (Slavophiles), not the Left (Westernizers), began to be implemented. Gorbachev's "New Thinking", based upon the Russian Idea, was a long-term plan to bring about exactly what we see today: communism is overthrown, the Soviet empire disbanded, and, now that the West is most vulnerable, Russia is about to have Zhirinovsky launch world war three. After the dust settles and the West is defeated, Gorbachev will undoubtedly reemerge to power and claim he is saving the world from self-destruction. A global orthodox dictatorship will then be formed by a man who is a liar and murderer from the beginning. The crucial point here is that what we are witnessing is a total lie. Gorbachev extended Lenin's strategy to defeat the West from "tell them what they want to hear" to "show them what they want to see". History has been shaped over the past decade to fit what Westerners *want* to believe: instead of of communism and dictatorship, there's been freedom and democracy; instead of an arms race and Cold War, there's been arms reductions and world peace. Unfortunately, it has all been literally too good to be true. As KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn correctly anticipated, we have simply been told 'New Lies for Old' (1984), while "the fundamental nature and the objectives of the reformed adversary, i.e., the Soviet Union, have not changed (quote from a letter written to 20/20 in 1992)". Because the world has foolishly accepted the lies of "The Old Enemy", it is about to receive the opposite of what is expected: a third world war and global dictatorship. As it stands the West is being provoked into throwing the first punches of world war three. While Zhirinovsky's rise to power and the outbreak of global war will appear to stem from, at the least, Western military action against Russia's historical Serbian ally, let it be clear that this is deceptive. Countries like Serbia are Russian puppet states, and Zhirinovsky is KGB. Regardless of what people may *want* to believe, the West is being framed for triggering world war three, and Zhirinovsky is the scapegoat for what is truly *Gorbachev's* ultimate crime against humanity. ------------------------------------------------------------------- A provocative example that the Russian Right is behind the transformation taking place in Russia is the following articles : Medvedev, A. "Orthodox Church instead of the communist party". 'Moscow News': 1/24/94; p6. "Moscow Churches will be restored". 'Moscow News': 1/24/94; p14. The following recent articles are very noteworthy: Kaplan, Fred. "Russian church, shedding shady past, seeks new role". 'Boston Globe': 9/27/94; p1. Stanley, Alessandra. "From Repression to Respect, Russian Church in Comeback". 'New York Times': 10/3/94; pA1. -NOTE- One of the most suspicious features of the move to restore the Russian Orthodox Church in recent years is the renovation and rebuilding of churches. Even though the Russian government is supposedly broke (recently it was reported that electricity had been shut-off to the command & control center of Russia's strategic nuclear weapons because the military has failed to pay its utility bills), it has been able to come up with money for a massive campaign to restore and rebuild Russian Orthodox Churches. In the Moscow area alone the number of churches has surged from 130 to 600. Clearly this indicates that the transformation to an Orthodox state is well underway.
