Well, once again Well, once again many replies. This is going to take me some considerable time to work through them all, so I will do as much as I can (just lucky that I have got all of Saturday afternoon to do it!).
Tovarish's argument is still by far the strongest, more so now that he and ahab have ganged up on me. However, I have gained another "ally" (I know I shouldn't use that word as a comrade, but is sounds pretty appropriate for the occasion), in the form of Comrade Zaltsev. And Demosthenes, who has yet to seriously issue me with a good challenging argument, has turned to childish insults to get across his/her attempt at discrediting me and Golitsyn.
Still no refutes for my claims about the staged August coup of 1991, by the way.

the tanks and aircraft that they are secretly housing there outnumber the US 9 to 1.
* Source? Evidence?
Defector testimony, Russian official figures (they use the cover of "civil defence" - which is believed now that they and the West are "friends"), internal Russian leaks, accidental boasts from Russian media outlets (PRAVDA.Ru and Russian Aviation News are the main culprits, Joel Skousen's
Analysis of Strategic Threats. Those figures I must confess are estimates, but the real figure is sure to be pretty close to that.
* Do you know how many DECADES it would take to produce 9 times the equipment the US has and how outdated much of it would be?
That is indeed correct. It would take at least
five decades, and if we assume that the military preparations started at the end of the Second World War...
Not to mention hiding all the funding, resources, and factories needed to produce that sort of army, that would be noticed. You can't hide and produce that much equipment.
Not unless it's
underground or operating under a benevolent, pro-Western view of "the Cold War is over... let's be friends". Re-read my quotes from
The Perestroika Deception; fatal fallacies
five and
six (they should be on page 2 of this thread).
What are they going to do with the tanks? I can understand them taking Asia and Europe, Africa would be hard for them, but to get to North and South America that would be the largest shipment ever, they'd better have a HUGE fleet of transport ships if they hope to use that.
Golitsyn, as you will most likely know, talks about what is called the "
scissors strategy". As you will know from reading my earlier posts, this is Russia as one arm to the scissors, China as the other, and the United States "comfortably" in the middle. There is also another aspect to this strategy - a division of communist conquest (that by the way is
my term -
not Golitsyn's). China have the slightly more easier job of taking out Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and (perhaps) Africa - although Africa should be really no problem as it would be little different under Leninist communism than it is Western capitalism. Russia will get Europe and North America. South America, like Africa, will keel over easily as it's already fairly
Red already I.e.; Chavez, Lula da Silva, Castro, etc.. Russia, in launching a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the US, destroying it in
two days (this is again Skousenian theory), will install fear into the rest of the world. Europe, most of the leaders being already members of the Socialist International (cast your minds back to Golitsyn's "neutral, socialist Europe"), will not want to meet a similar fate, will be forced to accept Russia, or face having their countries overrun by communist Russian and Slavic troops. This will create a new world superpower - "Europe from Atlantic to the Urals" - Russia merged with Europe. "Eurussia". A completely communist state. Britain have the option aswell of following Russia, which will guarantee their survival. Following the US, as they are now doing, could well result in Britain too being strategically attacked by the Russians. Blair is really unusual. He is originally from the Far Left of the political spectrum, Marxist factions, yet he is following the US with full heart. So I would unfortunately, as Demosthenes rightly points out, could be in the firing line if Blair goes with America again.
Other strategic threats, other nuclear powers, such as India and Pakistan, will be drawn into a nuclear war with each other over Kashmir (note: this is happening today), hence annihilating each other and resulting in millions of deaths. Israel will be overwhelmed by the Arab world. But I personally think that Israel could play a considerably bigger role here, as it also has nuclear weapons. As I rightly said earlier, during the Cold War, Nixon ordered that Israel put their nuclear weapons on standby as the Cold War entered one of its more "nail-biting" phases. If Israel see the US gone, they will be defenceless. If they suspect that Russia are, as they did during the Cold war and I believe will again, supporting the Arabs against Israel (in response to a traditional America support of Israel), and Israel know this, then
Israel will launch nuclear weapons against Russia, as well as the Arab and Muslim world. Bible believers will point out that this is the point when "Christ will return". Those, like me, who are secular will just expect to see nothing happen, Israel wiped off the map, America wiped off the map, countries like Armenia and Georgia wiped off the map (in an Israeli nuclear response against Russia - Armenia is, after all, "Putin's gateway to the Middle East"), India and Pakistan wiped off the map, Britain possibly wiped off the map (gulp!!), and Russia entering into piece agreements with any remaining nations and, to quote Mr. Skousen (sarcastically); "We'll all have a nice New World Order". To quote Golitsyn, a "New World Social Order" - the "
One World Communist Government".
Or maybe they'll cross over the polar icecap.
The plan is to attack from down the Atlantic Ocean with submarines launching nuclear missiles at the mainland, perhaps also from Alaska and Arctic Europe.

Response to Demosphenes,
There are so many flaws in this argument,
It would help if you
named them and not just made daft statements and innuendos which add little to the debate in hand and only create dissension, confusion, and make you look stupid.
it's obvious it comes from the mind of an idealistic 19 year old boy.
Boy? Adult in Great Britain - and it's not from "my mind". If you had been reading the thread correctly, then you would know that I am optimistically citing the work of a major Russian defector - arguably the most important one ever, not to mention a couple of others, one a very high-ranking KGB man who defected
after the phoney "fall" of the Soviet Union to confirm that Russia was still preparing for a major war with the Western world.
Forget the fact that according to your own reasoning, you'll be dead because England will be dead. Of course I guess you could immigrate by 2007...
As you will know from reading my above reply post to ahab, going to European mainland will not really make you that much safer. Where I live it is quite isolated. The major brunt of the attack will be on the US, possibly on London also, but I am far from the capital. Although I am not completely safe, I am better-off than most. Just
stay away from any major US or European cities in the summers of 2006 and 2007 (I've just got a strange hunch that the attack will be in one of those summers).
OK here's a fundamental flaw that Ahab and Tovarish touched on. How will Russia deploy conventional forces to pacify what's left of America after your Armageddon dreams are realized? You can't hide the surface ships necessary to transport such a large force. Even if you had a transport force large enough, which is such a stretch it's not even funny, how are you going to hide the massive number of surface warships necessary to protect them from the S's massive Navy as well as Britons?
Do you seriously think that I am implying that the Russians and the Chinese are going to transport over to the US mainland large numbers of tanks and nuclear weapons in large ships, and that the Yanks are going to just "let them in"? I know the Americans are stupid, but not
that stupid. Surely not.
I don't even recall saying that they would need to deploy tanks and surface ships to the US once it is destroyed. Maybe I am wrong and some will get over - certainly Russian, and possibly also some Chinese, troops will be present on the North American mainland in the aftermath of the great first strike, but don't expect a mass deployment of tanks and whatnot on American soil - certainly not for the major nuclear offensive. As for the Russians being unable to hide the surface ships, you know the score by now - I've already explained it on numerous occasions now. Hell, I didn't even say ships! I said highly-advanced submarines. These will descend on the US from down the Atlantic,
not the Pacific as some Cold War films dictated that an attack would take place. I wouldn't rule out a North Pacific offensive on parts of the western US and Canada either.
One other comment- You stated somewhere up there something like "...in case Americas resistance is stronger than expected..." It will be.
Expect a strong American resistance -
after the first strike. The US will still have nuclear weapons even after the Russian first strike - and they will use them on the Russians. That's what those large Ural bunkers are for, by the way.
One other thing, you are a young man, who's read a couple books from a defector that nobody lends any real support to, except you.
Let me quote now from
The Perestroika Deception once again.
Part Two: Communist Grand Strategies and Western Illusions,
Chapter 13: The Need for Counteraction by the United States (page 62). Golitsyn wrote this on January 4, 1988;
"To prevent these disastrous consequences, the United States must see through Soviet strategy and disinformation. President Reagan's scheduled visit to Moscow should be cancelled and Soviet plans should be exposed to the American people and their allies as part of an American political counter-strategy. An American President who fails to see through Soviet strategy and who fails to warn the American people of the dangers that it entails will go down in history, not as a great peace-maker, but as a bankrupt politician - an American Kerensky, who was tricked by Communist strategies and unwittingly paved the way for their success. The legacy he should leave to his successors should be one of countering "perestroika", not embracing it. The miscalculations of Kerensky sealed the fate of Russia. The miscalculations of President Roosevelt sealed the fate of China and of Eastern Europe. The present actions of President Reagan will decide the fate of the United States".
Presidents J. F. Kennedy, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush Snr., presidential advisors such as Robert Kennedy and Henry Kissinger, Prime Ministers such as Margaret Thatcher and John Major, and French leaders like de Gaulle and Mitterand all met with Golitsyn. They all ignored him and his advice. Margaret Thatcher only had this to say, in fact, when Golitsyn told her about a possible Soviet long-range strategy; "I hope it's not true". Even other, more recent defectors with similar testimonies were written-off as "nutcases". Bonkers!
Now, Golitsyn has a 94% track record of predictive accuracy attributed to his name. So for your information I am not the only one giving him great credit. Look at Christopher Story and his many followers, all whom will be signed up to his
Soviet Analyst magazine. I got a subscription with my copy of The Perestroika Deception from the publishers aswell. So they must all give him credit. So must the latter-day defectors. Then there's all the folks at the
Final Phase forum. So you might just want to retract that
ridiculous statement of yours.
For your arguments to be considered anything more than the rantings of the young, you would have had to study this for more than just a few months to be able to positively conclude "its all true".
I have indeed been studying it for months in my spare time, checking out the accuracy records of people like Golitsyn for myself, and reading up on the role of Communists in Russia today. My conclusion; it's likely that Golitsyn's final predictions will be fulfilled. And if you've read my previous response to ahab, you'll know what I mean.
If a young man like yourself could uncover the "secret truth" so easily in such a short time, it stands to reason that these men are not so good after all. And if their not so good after all then your whole argument falls apart. Further many others (I'm not talking about the ones on that website) would also have picked up on this. You don't seem to realize the scope of what you're trying to say. Something this massive cannot be hidden by the 10% of KGB, that are in this "inner circle" without tipping off someone. somewhere that is not involved. Secret duplicity is very difficult to maintain for such a long time, Claiming "they're just that good" is a little lacking.
To predict the "fall" of communism, the demolishing of the Berlin Wall, and the rise to power of three Russian presidents almost exactly
years before they actual happened, when presidential advisors of the time were telling US and other world leaders that the Soviet Union was "going
nowhere", and to them be awarded with a 94% percent accuracy rating for being "not so good after all", it proves that you are crazily misinformed and that you go away and read his book(s), and other books on the subject too. The same goes for people like Tovarish Spetsnaz and Kolzene too - but at least they are putting up something resembling a good argument! May I recommend, apart from:
and
these:
and one other, We Will Bury You - Jan Sejna's 1984 book, which confirms that, by the mid-1980s, an unexpected Soviet long-range strategy was to be launched and executed.
Lastly, your later comment;
Keep an open mind?
IE: If they can't see it or touch it, then it doesn't exist.
You mean like most of the people here do about god and religion? This very same argument has been used about god here many times. Anyway, this isn't about an open mind. It's about realism. Plain and simple. This is not realistic.
Is it really that hard to believe? If you had read Golitsyn's book
New Lies For Old in the early 1980s, and had then witness events happen almost exactly as predicted, would you be so quick to rubbish it then? My initial reaction when I first stumbled across the Final Phase (I was searching at the time for on information of Vladimir Putin on
Yahoo!, coincidentally already intrigued and interested in him bearing in mind his credentials as a former KGB careerist, and all this stuff about Golitsyn came up - instantly wowing me!) was, like your own, "yeah, right!". But then I read on... and on... and on... and now I find myself here, today! I witnessed the restoration of the Soviet-era Stalinist national anthem (so what if it has new lyrics that mention the word "God" - only one set of lyrics come up when that tune is heard!), the restoration of the KGB statue in red Square, the oddness of the Kursk disaster, the Soviet
Red Star being reinstalled as the country's military symbol, and more since! Golitsyn was literally coming true before my very eyes!
To prove my point again, and this is good going back to my earlier comments on Gorbachev and Yeltsin, let me now quote you from
The Perestroika Deception,
Part One: The Perestroika Deception (The World Slide Towards the "Second October Revolution" - "Weltoktober"),
Chapter 40: The Possible Replacement of Gorbachev (page 40). I think that this is actually a reproduced quote from his earlier book
New Lies For Old that's probably been reproduced for
The Perestroika Deception.
"The Soviet strategy of "restructuring" the world is not reversible but Gorbachev is replaceable. Because Gorbachev was chosen for the execution of the final phase of the strategy, one should not exclude the possibility of his being replaced by another leader. His replacement might take place if the requirements of the strategy were to demand a shift towards a "harder line" or confrontation with the United States, or if he were to fail in his job. He might be replaced by a "conservative" of Ligachev's type or by a "liberal" of Yeltsin's type. Another purpose of the display of alleged difference between Gorbachev and the "conservative" Ligachev on the one hand and the "liberal" Yeltsin on the other hand is to prepare the world public for such a change if it should come about. Gorbachev's replacement or "fall" could well be a calculated move. If circumstances changed, he might be returned to power again".
Does that 1984 "bloc" of text sound familiar?
Gorbachev was returned to power in 2001 by the way - as an advisor to Putin! "Oh, don't worry - a man who helped to lead the Soviet Union during the late Cold War-era advising a "former" KGB agent in the new, reformed, capitalist Russia, is fine - because he helped to "bring it down", the West think. You see now how it's all cleverly covered-up and made to seem "healthy" and "capitalist" to the West? Remember "Gorby's" February 2003 speech, in which he stated that the US "needs perestroika"?
Mikhail Gorbachev is a genius.

Feedback to ahab,
Note: I'm taking out the mass quotation boxes for this as it just gets us nowhere, wastes time, and creates confusion. You'll know which post I'm referring to - hopefully, if you scroll up and check.
The same ones that there is no proof of.
The Urals thing again... you like to fall back on that so much I'd like to have more proof for that. I think there is no unknown military hardware in the Urals. None. Just someone insisting that it exists, with no proof.
A bit like Area 51, eh? The difference is that the US Government are now open about it and other similar installations situated in the cast desserts of Nevada and other such places. The Russian Government aren't open about the continuing nuclear development deep beneath the Ural Mountain range because, if they were, the US would immediately demand an official explanation (perhaps even from Putin himself - for example, when the coalition forces found that the Russians had been secretly arming the Iraqis (in revenge for Afghanistan - it was an old grudge)), and the UN would want to send Hans Blix in as soon as possible. Do you remember that convoy of US/Western military attaché who were coerced into turning back by the Russians when they tried to get close of the Urals? I wonder why that was. Don't you?
Clearly. Yes. Or not... And those are some mighty powerful countries too. *shakes in boots*
Any political, military, or economic alliance is strong. Unless it's maybe a few small countries that nobody has heard of in deepest, darkest Africa, or some small islands out in the Pacific like the Federated States of Micronesia, an alliance should be watched. The fact that this particular alliance consists of China (nuclear weapons) and Iran (developing nuclear weapons - with Russian help!), just goes to show that you should think twice before making such silly statements.
URALS AGAIN?!?! Jeez... don't get me started on speculation on the stuff that is in the Appalachians AND Rockies. Maybe even the Loess hills near Omaha. Dude, the US has two mountain ranges to hide stuff in, if they had stuff hidden in all those mountains they certainly could win this war. The Appalachian mountains are bigger than the Urals, but smaller than the Rockies. If this were a war between stuff hidden in mountains, the US could hide a lot more stuff in mountains.
True - the US also has such things, except that the Russians know where the US's are and the US don't know where Russia's are. Partly because they "don't exist". Expect the Russians to attack those places in their first strike, severely crippling the military might of their arch enemy.
Small bunker, only meant for the Govt officials... they've been around for a long time... ever hear of the Green Briar? Norad? Camp David? They are American bunkers that have been around for decades.
Correct. In fact, it's been there
since the Second World War. But what you don't and won't know is that, in the seven years beginning in the year 1994, the British Government have been modernizing it. I wonder why? (Golitsyn - *hint*, *hint*). You might just know if you listen to the James Whale Show though - he's seen the plans are has been exposing it since 2001.
____________________________________________________
Last but not least, "the King of Criticism"; Tovarish Spetsnaz,
Ehh..no. Actually Russia can produce these weapons ONLY because of foreign sales...and ONLY FOR foreign sales. Russia is selling plenty of Su-30MKI fighters to India...but itself does not have a SINLGE Su-30M in its own inventory...because it can't afford it.
And you believe that? DOCTOR!!!
See...weapons are produced by private companies...and the Russian military has to pay money to Sukhoi for example to get new planes. Russia doesn't have that kind of money...but Indonesia does.
The billions of Western aid that are flowing into Russia and Ukraine are going into unseen
military preparations,
not anything else. I've been through this already! Question (this is directed at Tovarish):
if the FOREIGN (that's how you spell "
foreign" by the way -
not "foreing"!)
aid that flowed into Russia from the early-mid-1990s, and has in fact continued to do so up to the present date, is being used correctly to improve hospitals, school buildings, health care, etc. etc., just as the West think, then why are the Russian medical, health, education, industrial, etc., services in the state they are in today?I can't believe that you seriously think that Indonesia is wealthier than Russia and yet expect to triumph in this debate. Looking back since this thread was born exactly last Saturday, I have successfully discredited almost everything you've said! You even know that it's going strongly in my favour - that's why you've got ahab and Demosthenes to do your "dirty work" for you. *Rant over*.
It didn't go into production in 2001...it came into service in 2001...after building for nearly a decade!! And no other Akula submarines are being build or will be build.
Well that's what they tell you...
Building a submarine is NOT something that can be hidden!!!
It's done under a benevolent cover. Either that or they just don't tell any people about it. Remember that Russia, which is now a
friend of the West, covers
1/6 of the surface of the Earth! Hiding them isn't that hard. Trust me, it never has been. I think that they are being built right at the very top - in the Arctic Circle. Certainly recent PRAVDA articles do hint at that rather strongly.
Suppose that the West do know, for a moment. They
know about the
30,000 North Koreans currently labouring in the restored Soviet-era gulags in Siberia! (And if that's how they treat their "comrades", then just imagine what they're going to do to the Yanks, the other Asian capitalist countries - i.e.: Japan, the Islamic world, etc.!). Yet nothing is done. They also
know about the various Putin Administration restorations - such as the Dzerzhinsky statue and the Soviet-era national anthem. Yet nothing is done. So if they
do know about the advanced war military preparations that Russia is currently going through, then why do they do nothing? Simple: they just assume that it's for "helping the West in the War on Terrorism" or for helping the pathetically struggling Russian army in Chechnya, or something so daft that it defies belief!
And how does a new submarine exactly mean a secret Soviet plan for taking over the world?? Its just one sub for God's sake!!
Talk about desperation!
One submarine of many. Put nukes and other nasty things on board, send them all deep into the Atlantic Ocean, have them all simultaneously fire at vulnerable American cities and military bases (and don't start going on about how vulnerable the US are - we saw the 9/11 hijackers do it with knives!), and they bring the world's "last remaining superpower" to its knees. Then it's Patrick Swayze -
Red Dawn - time.
So you see how "one new submarine" can help greatly the Soviet plan for "taking over the world". (I like to think of it as "ousting America" or "Lenin's world revolution".).
Ehh...did you get that off the Red Alert player's manual?? Care to NAME this weapon...and some photos if you don't mind
Certainly. The "Havoc Mi-28A".
I don't see the point of it?? Mi-28 was first build in the early-80s...and since then in fact has NOT entered service with the Soviet or the Russian Army. In total some 6 prototypes were build...and the project is still at 6 prototypes. It is equivalent to the US Apache...so how exactly is it part of a "take over the world conspiracy"?
Does anyone else spot a bit of "double standards" going on here?
It might now have yet entered officially - but I would expect it to be in full, working, word use for the Russian attack on America. They might even give the models to the Chinese aswell!
By the way you said that the project was "still at 6 prototypes". Could you please find me a source for that so that I can take a peak at it. Thank you.
Huh??? Escalating dramatically?? In the past decade...Russia has build about 25 Topol-M ICBMs...and at the same time has scrapped about 500 ICBMs of other types!! 25 build in 10 years...500 destroyed in 10 years. I don't think this qualifies as escalation!!
No it qualifies as (necessary) Russian
lies to help their Leninist cause which will lead to the end of world capitalism.
Dr.Alibek...BTW....defected before USSR collapsed...and doctor Alibek is a HUGE liar!! And he says nothing of Russia TODAY...he speaks of USSR back then. He speaks of massive biological and chemical weapons programs...which have all turned out to be just a bunch of BS propaganda...CIA paid him a lot of money apparently...
I much confess that I don't know that much about Dr. Ken Alibek, but I am pretty certain that his testimony is recent. Note that the doctor used to work as a chief deputy in Biopreparat, Russia's military biological weapons division. In March 1998, the New York Times carried one of his articles, in which he stated his theory Russia was in fact continuing to develop new biological weapons, from anthrax to various plague strains.
Alibek went on to criticize US aid to Russia which does not allow full-scale inspection of the sites where these weapons are being developed. In September of 1998, Alibek's claims were substantiated when the Defence Intelligence Agency reported to Congress that "key components of the former Soviet biological warfare program remain largely intact and may support a possible future mobilization capability for the production of biological agents and delivery systems".
LOL...ehhh...watched Superman cartoons a bit too much I see...
Oh, and I'd like to know where you stand on the above statement.
Huh??? 30.000 missiles???
Don't grill me on this one because I'm kind of hanging out here. That's from Joel Skousen, not me. I have yet to see real proof, although such a figure would not surprise me one bit.
