>USSR2 File: Belarusian media confirms Shenin, continuing CPSU chair and August 1991 coup plotter, running for Russia’s 2008 presidential election

>The present Russian [Putinist] regime is aware and frightened by the popularity of the leader Oleg Shenin, who is dedicated and strives for a complete change of the present regime and the resurrection of the former Soviet Union and Socialism. This present regime utilizes the CPRF in order to organize the disruption and dismemberment of the united communist parties and thus through the CPRF to gain greater influence.
— Statement by the Union of Communist Parties-CPSU, reported in Northstar Compass, February 2003

Western Media Blackout: The CPSU Is Back!

In previous posts we have portrayed Oleg Shenin, the chair of the continuing Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), as merely a supporter of the communist drama known as the August 1991 Coup against Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. This assertion is not entirely correct and is based on a 2002 Pravda interview of Shenin (pictured above, foreground), in which he falsely denies being a member of the State Emergency Committee (GKChP).

In the Belarusian media source linked below, Shenin–who is also concurrent chair of the Communist Party of the Union (of Russia and Belarus) and the Union of Communist Parties-CPSU, from which the “restored” CPSU emerged in 2004–is revealed as a key player in the GKChP. He was in fact jailed for his role in the plot, but later amnestied by the Military Judicial Board of the Russian Federation’s supposedly “post”-communist Supreme Court. The Centre for Russian Studies at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs confirms Shenin’s active participation in the anti-reformist “coup” that allegedly signalled the death of the hard-line faction in the CPSU. At the time Shenin was a member of the CPSU Central Committee.

The GKCHP member Shenin intends to become the President of Russia
17.08.06 08:46

The former GKCHP member and the leader of the Union of Communist Parties- COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION (UCP-CPSU) Oleg shenin intends to be a candidate for the presidency of Russia in the forthcoming in 2008 elections. Oleg Shenin stated his intention at a press conference on August 16, dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the August putsch of 1991.

“to me they entered and such proposals continue to enter, and I made the decision to be a candidate at the presidential elections in 2008”, it transfers the words of former “putchista” Of “interfaks”.

“if it will be, we will begin to operate not only information- elective version, but also information-elective- power”, promised Oleg shenin.

Oleg Shenin declares that his main purpose is the recreation of the USSR. “The restoration of the CPSU–Communist Party of the Soviet Union–is the first, but extremely important and necessary step for the revival of the Soviet regime, socialism and indivisible USSR. Of course the [Putinist] authorities become silent at this very unpleasant [prospect] for them and [so] they begin to ‘put sticks in our wheels.’ The situation in Russia, which is a key component for the solution of our program, is close to catastrophic,” declared Oleg Shenin earlier.

During August 1991 Oleg Shenin played a key part in planning the GKCHP’s coup d’etat and the attempt at its realization. On 22 August, 1991, he was arrested and incriminated under Article 64 of the Soviet constitution, namely, for “high treason in the form of [a] plot for the purpose of assumption of power.”

In March of 1994, on the basis of the decision of the State Duma of Russia, “Of the declaration of political and economic amnesty,” the Military Judicial Board of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation ended the criminal case against Oleg Shenin.

A chapter of the UCP-CPSU is registered in the territory of Belarus. The control elements of the Union of Communist Parties-Communist Party of the Soviet Union are located in Minsk and Moscow.

New Parties for Old: The CPSU Goes Underground and Hides Behind the CPRF

Shenin and his on-again, off-again comrade friend Gennady Zyuganov–chair of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, which pretends to the succession of the CPSU in order to obscure the fact that the latter has a continuing existence to this day–are without question two key members in the collective communist leadership ruling the Not-So-Former Soviet Union. The crypto-capitalist nationalist CPRF is despised by true internationalists in the 1,400,000-member-strong UCP-CPSU, which has now morphed into the “restored” CPSU. All three organizations, however, maintain separate websites.

The CPRF evolved from the Communist Party of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic, which was founded in June 1990 by anti-reformists at the 28th Congress of the CPSU, including Shenin and Zyuganov, as well as I.K. Polozkov and V.A. Kuptsov. Prior to that date, the CPSU did not maintain a distinct section in the RSFSR. After the humiliating defeat of the CPRF in the 2003 Russian Duma elections–to the “non”-communist United Russia with its “ex”-Komsomol leader Boris Gryzlov–the expendable nature of Zyuganov’s pet party became evident. The CPRSFSR/CPRF was created in advance of the self-implosion of the first Soviet Union and the CPSU’s public relinquishing of power, apparently as part of Moscow’s larger strategic deception. Since the CPSU has been openly reassembled, the CPRF may have served its “historic mission” of confusing the West and flushing out revisionists among Soviet Communists. Zyuganov can be expected to herd supporters into the fold of the “restored” CPSU.

Under the auspices of the Timiryazevskiy District Organization, Moscow Urban Committee, of the continuing CPSU, T.G. Avaliani made a number of comments in connection with his earlier appearance at the July 24, 2004 plenum of the Central Committee of the continuing CPSU. Avaliani was at one time First Secretary of the Kemerovsky District Committee of the CPRF and a deputy in the Russian Federation Duma. One comment, in particular, is most striking. Indeed, it lends support to our thesis that the CPRF’s viability in the eyes of the Leninist cabal guiding the perestroika deception has been tenuous since at least 2003 and certainly since 2004, when the CPSU reemerged from the UCP-CPSU:

On 3 July, 2004, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation as the Communist Party, ended its existence. This is the result of prolonged, for a period of 13 years of work, beginning from conference of the past in the club of the Moscow plant “compressor” of prosionistskikh forces in the Communist motion BY THE USSR and Russia. Analyzing encounters and conversations, which passed in these years with the foreign and local workers and the journalists, I arrived at the deep belief, that spontaneously nothing it occurred. Everything was prepared and consistently was achieved.

Comrade Czar Putin Completes His Historic Mission for the Party

In the months ahead, Kremlin watchers should expect both Zyuganov and the KGB/FSB creature Vladimir Putin, who represents the “sword” of the Party, to tamely step aside in the 2008 presidential election in favor of Comrade Shenin. Putin’s days as Russian Federation president are evidently numbered since the RF Central Election Commission recently rejected a referendum proposal extending the “former” KGB officer’s administration by another four-year term. Moreover, this September Putin himself has expressed no interest in running for a third term.

As noted above, Zyuganov can be expected to herd CPRF supporters into the fold of the “restored” CPSU. In like fashion, the ostensibly non-communist, pro-Putin United Russia, which dominates the Duma, maintains a cooperation protocol with the Communist Party of China, and utilizes communist terminology in its crypto-Komsomol youth organization, has no doubt served its historic mission. Gryzlov can be expected to herd Putin’s supporters into the fold of the “restored” CPSU.

The complicity between State and Party leaders in rebuilding the Soviet Union, through such projects as the Union of Russia and Belarus, is evident in other republics such as Belarus, where the ostensibly nonpartisan President Alexander Lukashenko personally hosted the third Congress of the Peoples of the USSR in March 1997. At this meeting in Minsk a number of Soviet Communists were present: Zyuganov and Shenin, as well as Nikolai Ryzhkov, Yegor Ligachev, Nina Andreeva, Valentin Varennikov, Albert Makashov, Stanislav Terekhov, and Viktor Anpilov.

Despite factional differences which erupted at times, the participants unanimously called for canceling the December 1991 agreements that established the CIS and for voluntary unification of the peoples in a “renewed USSR” on the basis of “socialism and people’s power.” Speakers and the final resolutions described Lukashenko’s policies as a model to follow in terms of uniting two Slavic states as a prelude to restoring the former Union. Lukashenko addressed the forum to repeated standing ovations.

A poll by Bashkirova & Partners indicated that nine percent of respondents would vote for Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in the next presidential election, while CPRF leader Gennady Zyuganov came in second with an endorsement of eight percent, followed by Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov with five percent. State Duma Speaker Boris Gryzlov and Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov are tied at three percent. More than 25 percent of all respondents indicated that they would not vote, while 19 percent remain undecided. Enter Oleg . . .

Old Coup Leaders Never Die, They Just Prepare for a Comeback

Shenin is a hard-core Stalinist who maintains a personal friendship with the communist regime in Pyongyang and who conferred with Kim Jong-Il in or around October 1997, when the North Korean leader assumed the mantle of leader of the Korean Workers’ Party. On March 15, 1998 Shenin participated in a delegation of communist parties from Russia, Vietnam, North Korea, Cuba and Greece that travelled to Minsk to observe the 100th anniversary of the first congress of the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party, from which the Bolsheviks evolved. Shenin referred to Belarus as “an isle for the revival of Communism.” In 2000 Shenin, representing the UCP-CPSU, visited Vietnam upon the invitation of the ruling Communist Party:

A Vietnamese delation led by Mr Pham The Duyet, permanent member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo, and the Russian delegation held talks on the same day. The two parties informed each other on the current situation in their respective countries, and exchanged notes on international issues of common concern. They discussed measures to further enhance friendship and co-operation between the two countries.

Unlike some of the smaller CPSU factions, Shenin appears to wield some influence among communists abroad, including those holding the reins of power in other countries. This would lead one to believe that Shenin, the other surviving GKChP members, and Zyuganov, in collaboration with Gorbachev–who openly detailed the Soviet plan for global conquest in his first book Perestroika, much as Adolf Hitler revealed his plans to an unbelieving world in Mein Kampf— are the masterminds behind the deceptive politico-economic “restructuring” of Eurasia since 1991.

In a previous blog regarding the demise of GRU asset Shamil Basayev, we considered the possibility that in 2008 the CPRF/CPSU might endeavor to openly seize power in the wake of street battles between Russia’s politically influential youth organizations. It is worth noting that the street-fighting communist youth organization Red Youth Vanguard (AKM) has formally endorsed Shenin’s candidacy. AKM leader Sergei Udaltsov writes at the party site:

In order not to repeat the errors “another of Russia”, we simply should act in another sequence. First – to create left coalition. To work out general routine and to agree about that, whom we see by united candidate. For example, recently about his intention to participate in the presidential elections declared the chairman OF CPSU – COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION Oleg shenin. In my view, this of person, capable of becoming this united candidate. Its explicit trumps – enormous creative experience of builder- professional and state leader of higher level, solid ideological principles and sequence in their settling.

This endorsement is not surprising since the Red Youth Vanguard has comprised the youth wing of the continuing CPSU since AKM’s fifth congress in 2004, shortly after the reemergence of the CPSU from the UCP-CPSU. In 2005, Shenin appeared before AKM’s sixth congress and stated:

We are satisfied by record in the regulations about the fact that AKM works under the political leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and it prepares its members for the entrance in CPSU – COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION. The basis of our interrelations is complete ideological accord and the organizational independence of youth organization.

Russia’s citizen-slaves may not be adverse to voting for a previously jailed, neo-communist coup leader like Shenin. After all, Venezuelans were not adverse to voting for Shenin’s ideological comrade, Hugo Chavez, who was jailed for his 1992 coup.

Russia’s Vote: Communist Candidate A or . . . Communist Candidate A?

On August 28, 2006 the official neo-Soviet media made the following observation about the current popularity in Russia of the old CPSU: “According to a recent poll by the Public Opinion Foundation, 51% of Russians consider the CPSU’s role beneficial rather than harmful, and a mere 15% hold the opposite view. The same 51% think that it is advisable to learn from the CPSU’s experience.” The report then throws a curveball: “The Soviet Communist Party cannot be resurrected.” Oh no? Tell that to Shenin, chair of the continuing CPSU! Someone is either out of the loop or lying at Novosti.

At Once Upon a Time in the West we will be closely following the public activities of Shenin between now and what may be Russia’s last presidential election for some time. The extent to which the CPSU will openly participate in Russia’s 2007 parliamentary election will also be followed. Rest assured, the 2007-2008 political season in Russia will be characterized by strategically planted anti-American propaganda–such as that reported by Lebanon’s Al-Manar TV on September 21–to corral Russians into the CPSU fold:

The United States is working to provoke a “quiet” revolution in Russia before the 2008 presidential elections, the Russian parliament was warned Thursday. “The US will put its main hopes in 2007-2008 on an attempt to initiate… a quiet Russian version of the ‘orange revolution,'” said a report by a former Soviet ambassador and an ex-agent that was distributed in parliament. The “orange revolution” refers to a wave of popular protests in Ukraine that brought a pro-Western government to power in late 2004, which many Russian critics characterize as a US-sponsored plot.

Author Valentin Falin, once the Soviet ambassador to West Germany, and Gennady Yevstafanev, a former spy, said Washington will attempt “a hidden realignment of forces among the highest echelons of the Russian leadership, the business and political elite.” Russia will hold parliamentary elections in 2007 and presidential elections in 2008, when President Vladimir Putin’s second term will come to an end. The 36-page report was distributed to both houses of the Russian parliament at the request of Vitaly Margelov, a member of the security committee in the Duma, or lower house of parliament.

Hezbollah`s special operations unit (“Muntamat al-Jihad al-Islami” – MJI or “Islamic Jihad Organization”) emissaries have been active in Russia since the middle of the nineties. Residing in Moscow, Imad Hadj Hassan Salame heads this special operations unit. His men were an integral part of Hezbollah`s international network for smuggling weapons to Lebanon. Salame, coordinating these activities in Russia, was also responsible for assisting the emissaries of MJI in Ukraine, Belorussia, Moldova, Kazakhstan and Georgia. Sometimes he even provided the logistic support to his colleagues in Eastern European countries, such as Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic and Slovakia.

A photo from the website of the pro-Hezbollah Lebanese Communist Party shows what appears to be a party meeting with a portrait of Hezbollah leader Sheikh Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah prominently displayed at the podium. Yet more confirmation of the global Islamo-Marxist alliance against the West.

Russian Combat Engineers to Start Lebanon Mission in October – Defense Minister
Created: 20.09.2006
MosNews

A Russian combat engineer battalion will start work in Lebanon in early October, the defense minister said Wednesday.

“An advance group of combat engineers has successfully completed a preliminary assessment of the situation, and a Russian combat engineer battalion will start work in Lebanon at the beginning of October,” Sergei Ivanov is quoted by RIA Novosti as saying.

Before the August 14 ceasefire, Israeli military operations claimed the lives of about 1,000 Lebanese civilians, forced nearly a quarter of the country’s population to flee, and demolished large parts of the country’s infrastructure.

Ivanov, who is also deputy prime minister, said engineering equipment and construction materials will be delivered to Lebanon by a Russian cargo ship, and that personnel will be flown into the country by air force transport aircraft.

He said the battalion is ready to start a relief operation near the city of Sayda, 48 km (30 miles) south of Beirut, and outside the UN peacekeepers’ zone of control.

“We only have to finish one formality — to sign an agreement on the status of the combat engineer battalion with the Lebanese government,” Ivanov said.

>Breaking News: Muslim general leads Thai army in coup as Islamic insurgency rocks southern region of country

>The coup leader is General Sonthi Boonyaratglin, the highest-ranking Muslim ever to ascend the ranks of the Thai army. According to Sobaka News Wire, King Bhumibol Adulyadej promoted Boonyaratglin in September 2005, since “the government is hoping to bring order to the violent southern provinces of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat, where more than 800 (and possibly as many as 1,200) people have died in bombings and targeted attacks by Muslim insurgents.”

>USA File: NORAD security compromised by arrival of Chinese military delegation; US government ignores China’s war preparations

>The Moscow-Beijing Axis has not abandoned its plans for world revolution. Chinese generals have on several occasions since the 1990s threatened to strike the USA with nuclear warheads if it interferes with Red China’s designs on Taiwan. The People’s Republic of China continues to build and maintain massive bunkers, as in Shanghai, ostensibly to hide its population in the event of a terrorist attack, even though there has never been any credible terrorist threat against the communist Chinese. In June 2005 the pseudo-capitalist communist regime in Beijing opened its bunkers in central Chongqing with the rather incredible explanation of providing its citizen-slaves shelter from scorching summer temperatures. I think, rather, the Communist Party of China’s collective leadership is preparing its people for the day when it launches an attack against the USA or Taiwan.

If you really believe that the CPC no longer believes in communism, then just read their own publication The People’s Daily. China’s fake market economy is an important means by which the CPC leadership fortifies its hold on the Chinese people, steals Western technology, infiltrates Western corporations based in China and elsewhere, and establishes an economic stranglehold on the West with its cheap consumer products. The report from the Fourth Plenum of the 16th CPC Central Committee, excerpts of which follow, occurred in 2004.

The Communist Party of China (CPC) will adhere to the guiding status of Marxism in the ideological field and constantly improve its capabilities in building advanced socialist culture, says a decision on enhancing the Party’s governance capabilities adopted at the recent Fourth Plenum the 16th CPC Central Committee.

The document emphasizes that the Party should greatly develop socialist culture and ceaselessly consolidate the common ideological base on which the whole Party and the whole people unite and fight, in order to lead the people in pushing forward the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics . . .

It also calls for deepening the restructuring of cultural undertakings to liberate and develop productivity in the cultural field. “To meet the requirements of the socialist market economy, we must further eliminate structural blockages that have hampered cultural development.”

Finally, the CPC pledges itself to “resist the erosion of corruptive ideology and culture of capitalism.” Be assured, Chinese communist capitalism is no more substantial than Boris Yeltsin’s New Economic Policy Version 2.0, which Comrade Czar Vladimir Putin, following the dictates of his masters in the continuing CPSU, has rolled back by persecuting Russia’s business oligarchy. Both Moscow and Beijing are following the communist dialectic of two steps forward, one step back, in order to advance to the place of total supremacy over the “bourgeois” nations.

In spite of these disturbing facts, the US government has no qualms about pulling its permanent staff from the Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center, as we blogged some days ago, and welcoming a smiling Chinese military delegation to the nearby NORAD-USNORTHCOM headquarters. When Missile Day arrives, you and your family will be on your own with your supplies and your faith in God.

>Feature: Red World Order: United Nations, European Union and CFR’s proposed North American Union stepping stones to communist dream

> World Government: Objective of the Communist International

One of the primary goals of the continuing world revolution is to establish a global superstate to implement the social, economic and political transformation of mankind according to the communist “gospel.” The proclamations of the progenitors of Bolshevism, Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky, stated as much at various congresses of the Communist International.

If our comrades in all lands help us now to organise a united army, no shortcomings will prevent us from accomplishing our task. That task is the world proletarian revolution, the creation of a world Soviet republic.
— Vladimir Lenin, Second Congress of the Communist International, July 19-August 7, 1920

There is no justifying the omission of the slogan of the Soviet United States of Europe from the new draft program, a slogan which was accepted by the Comintern back in 1923, after a rather protracted internal struggle.

The revolution in Europe, as has already been said, will in the final analysis be of decisive importance for America as well. But directly, in the immediate course of history, a revolution in Germany will have an immeasurably greater significance for France than for the United States of America. It is precisely from this historically developed relationship that there flows the political vitality of the slogan of the European Soviet Federation. We speak of its relative vitality because it stands to reason that this Federation will extend, across the great bridge of the Soviet Union, to Asia, and will then effect a union of the World Socialist Republics. But this will constitute a second epoch or a subsequent great chapter of the imperialist epoch, and when we approach it more closely, we will also find the corresponding formulas for it.

It can be proven without any difficulty by further quotations that our difference with Lenin in 1915 over the question of the United States of Europe was of a restricted, tactical, and, by its very essence, temporary character; but it is best proven by the subsequent course of events. In 1923 the Communist International adopted the controversial slogan.
— Leon Trotsky, The Draft Program of the Communist International: A Criticism of Fundamentals, “The Slogan of the Soviet United States of Europe,” 1928

Note that in the second paragraph in Trotsky’s quote, reference is made to a “second epoch” of the imperialist era in which the communists will devise new “formulas” to advance their revolution across Europe, the Soviet Union, and Asia. The advance of communism into Eastern Europe after the Second World War and into Western Europe with the construction of the European Union and the “collapse” of communism in the Soviet Bloc clearly heralded that new epoch

The prescient KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn exposes the communist plan for world government in New Lies for Old (New York: Dodd, Mead & Co, 1984) in the last part of his book: “The Final Phase and the Western Counter-Strategy.” Of course, the West has no counter-strategy to communism’s plan for global domination. Nevertheless, Golitsyn explains:

All the countries of the European and Asiatic communist zones [Shanghai Cooperation Organization, 2001], together with new communist states in Europe [Italy, 2006] and the Third World [South American Community of Nations, 2007], would join a supranational economic and political communist federation. Soviet-Albanian, Soviet-Yugoslav, and Soviet-Romanian disputes and differences would be resolved in the wake, or possibly in advance of, Sino-Soviet reconciliation. The political, economic, military, diplomatic, and ideological cooperation between all the communist states, at present partially concealed, would become clearly visible. There might even be public acknowledgment that the splits and disputes were long-term disinformation operations that had successfully deceived the “imperialist” powers. The effect on Western morale can be imagined (page 346).

The European Union: Stepping Stone Toward Red World Order

When Mike (“I’ll Always Be a Communist”) Gorbachev visited London on March 23, 2000 he referred to the European Union as the “new European Soviet.” Five years later, as reported by Radio Prague, Czech President Vaclav Klaus made the following remarks about the similarity between the EU and the (apparently) defunct Soviet Bloc Council for Mutual Economic Assistance:

President Vaclav Klaus has compared the European Union to the Communist-era international organization Comecon, the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance. Speaking in the US magazine Time, Mr Klaus said the EU was structurally similar to the old Eastern bloc organisation, although ideologically different. He also reiterated his call for the EU to be widened rather than more deeply integrated, saying it should accept countries like Kazakhstan and Morocco as members.

Klaus could very well be in a position to know. Czech dissident and Right Bloc founder Petr Cibulka contends that Klaus is of Russian descent and, like many other “post”-Velvet Revolution Czech politicians, a secret communist agent or controlled dissident, of which Golitsyn warned. “This rumor has been circulating in the Czech Republic,” explains Cibulka, “for several years now and Vaclav Klaus has never denied it; so I think this could be true.” He continues:

It is said that the Pruzhinskiys came to Prague in 1937 from the Stalinist Soviet Union. We all know that in 1937 there was no possibility to leave the Soviet Union. So it is important to verify this information. If it is true, it would mean that Vaclav Klaus’s family was sent to the West by Stalin’s regime.

The Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovsky has also identified the connection between the EU and communist structures by asserting that the “new European Soviet” is a joint collaboration between Eurocommunists and the continuing Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The Brussels Journal reprinted a transcript of Bukovsky’s speech at a Brussels restaurant in the Trier straat, opposite the European Parliament, where he spoke at the invitation of the United Kingdom Independence Party, in February 2006. Startling excerpts that should concern all Western Europeans and North Americans follow:

In 1992 I had unprecedented access to Politburo and Central Committee secret documents which have been classified, and still are even now, for 30 years. These documents show very clearly that the whole idea of turning the European common market into a federal state was agreed between the left-wing parties of Europe and Moscow as a joint project which [Soviet leader Mikhail] Gorbachev in 1988-89 called our “common European home” . . .

It is no accident that the European Parliament, for example, reminds me of the Supreme Soviet. It looks like the Supreme Soviet because it was designed like it. Similary, when you look at the European Commission it looks like the Politburo. I mean it does so exactly, except for the fact that the Commission now has 25 members and the Politburo usually had 13 or 15 members. Apart from that they are exactly the same, unaccountable to anyone, not directly elected by anyone at all. When you look into all this bizarre activity of the European Union with its 80,000 pages of regulations it looks like Gosplan. We used to have an organisation which was planning everything in the economy, to the last nut and bolt, five years in advance. Exactly the same thing is happening in the EU. When you look at the type of EU corruption, it is exactly the Soviet type of corruption, going from top to bottom rather than going from bottom to top . . .

Today’s ideology of the European Union is social-democratic, statist, and a big part of it is also political correctness. I watch very carefully how political correctness spreads and becomes an oppressive ideology, not to mention the fact that they forbid smoking almost everywhere now. Look as the persecution of the Swedish pastor who was persecuted for several months because he said that the Bible does not approve of homosexuality. France passed the same law of hate speech concerning gays. Britain is passing hate speech laws concerning race relations and now religious speech, and so on and so forth. What you observe, taken into perspective, is a systematic introduction of ideology which could later be enforced with oppressive measures. Apparently that is the whole purpose of Europol.

According to Bukovsky, David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger (who may very well be Soviet agent “Bor” according to geopolitical analyst Jeff Nyquist and others), former French President Giscard D’Estaing, and former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone formed a delegation of the Trilateral Commission that visited Soviet President Gorbachev in January 1989. At that time, the delegation demanded that the USSR integrate itself into the GATT, IMF, and World Bank. Apparently oblivious to Moscow’s still-unfolding, long-range strategic deception plan, instigated in or around 1960, Bukovsky mistakenly contends that the:

Soviet part of the conspiracy collapsed earlier and it did not reach the point where Moscow could influence the course of events. But the original idea was to have what they called ‘convergency,’ whereby the Soviet Union would mellow somewhat and become more social-democratic, while Western Europe would bcome more social-democratic and socialist.

The manner in which Bukovsky apparently obtained his knowledge of the Eurocommunist-CPSU collaboration is intriguing. First, the interviewer notes: “In 1976 the Soviets expelled him to the West.” During the years of overt communism, no one entered or exited the Soviet Union apart from the watchful gaze of the authorities. The interviewer then describes Bukovsky’s alleged access, after the Soviet Union “collapsed,” to clandestine communist files:

In 1992 he was invited by the Russian government to serve as an expert testifying at the trial conducted to determine whether the Soviet Communist Party had been a criminal institution. To prepare for his testimony Mr. Bukovsky was granted access to a large number of documents from Soviet secret archives. He is one of the few people ever to have seen these documents because they are still classified. Using a small handheld scanner and a laptop computer, however, he managed to copy many documents (some with high security clearance), including KGB reports to the Soviet government.

In view of Bukovsky’s unprecedented access to secret Soviet archives and, moreover, the “post”-communist Russian Federation’s failure to condemn the crimes of the preceding regime, by trying those many members of the CPSU who were guilty of perpetuating the Soviet gulag state, one can only wonder if Bukovsky falls into Golitsyn’s category of “controlled dissident.” In either case, the essence of his interview wonderfully confirms the Golitsynian thesis regarding the establishment of a “neutral” and “socialist” Europe via Moscow’s machinations.

The fact that the past president of the European Commission, the executive body of the EU, and current leader of the governing left-communist coalition in Italy, Prime Minister Romano Prodi is a reputed KGB/FSB agent, per the revelations of Alexander Litvinenko, should therefore come as no surprise. The EU is a stunning fulfilment of Lenin and Trotsky’s “prophecies” of a Soviet United States of Europe, while the Shanghai Cooperation Organization simply extends Gorbachev’s “common European home” across the Eurasian landmass to Beijing and Pyongyang.

As recently as September 18, 2006 Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, a career Soviet apparatchik, revealed the Kremlin leadership’s still-current plan for a Moscow-led “collective leadership” over the world, as reported by ITAR-TASS: “Russia does not see a reasonable alternative to the creation of a new collective leader comprising key, highly industrialized countries in the world, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an article published in the Portuguese newspaper Diario de Noticias over his two-day visit in Lisbon that will begin on Monday.” Diario de Noticias quoted Lavrov, who employed standard communist terminology by referencing “collective leadership,” as saying: “The Group of Eight (G8) [of which Russia currently holds the presidency] may become an important aspect of an informal mechanism of a new collective leader.”

The Council on Foreign Relations’ North American Union: Another Stepping Stone Toward Red World Order

In addition to Soviet communists and Eurocommunists, capitalists also view world and regional government as a vehicle to promote their ideology and consolidate their power. This applies especially to the Western capitalist elite, or globalists. For this reason we have witnessed for 60 years a tug of war between internationalists of both ideologies in institutions such as the United Nations, which is not only a creature of the pro-communist Council on Foreign Relations, but also the Red International.

The CFR and the Trilateral Commission in the USA, the Canadian Institute of International Affairs (CIIA) and the Canadian Council of Chief Executives in Canada, and the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations are important loci of influence for North America’s powerbrokers and globalization in general. The CFR and CIIA, in particular, trace their origins to a “sister” institution in the United Kingdom, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the first honorary secretary of which was Lionel Curtis, an advocate of British Empire Federalism who co-founded The Round Table: The Commonwealth Journal of International Affairs.

Robert Pastor, the “Father” of the proposed North American Union (NAU) who co-chaired the 2005 CFR report Building a North American Community, previously consorted with the KGB-controlled think tank, the Institute of Policy Studies, on whose Board of Directors Harry (“Bananas for Chavez”) Belafonte sits; penned a work on US-Mexican relations with the Mexican Communist Party member and Che-worshipping Sao Paulo Forum attendee Jorge G. Castañeda; and endorsed pro-communist John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign. Castañeda was outgoing Mexican President Vicente Fox’s Foreign Minister and supported the US-Mexican Partnership for Prosperity, signed five days before September 11, 2001. This arrangement later evolved into the tripartite US-Mexican-Canadian Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). That Fox represented Mexico’s conservative National Action Party did not stop him from inviting a communist into his cabinet. Excerpts about Pastor, in particular, from an article by Jerome Corsi follow:

Dr. Pastor . . . argued that the Security and Prosperity Partnership signed by President Bush with Mexico and Canada on March 23, 2005 should become by 2010 a “North American economic and security community, the boundaries of which would be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter.” According to his published c.v., Dr. Pastor was the “principal editor” of this CFR report as well as the vice chair of the task force that produced it.

The May 2005 CFR task force report made clear that the borders between the U.S. and Mexico and between the U.S. and Canada would be erased, with the only border to be protected to be around North America. As the report stated on page 3, the boundaries of the North American Union “will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within which the movement of people, products, and capital will be legal, orderly, and safe.” The “outer security perimeter” referred specifically to the border around Canada, the U.S., and Mexico — such that the borders between these countries would be virtually erased. Dr. Pastor left no doubt about his view of U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada in his June 2005 testimony to the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee . . .

Dr. Pastor himself proclaims that the May 2005 CFR task force report on which he was vice chair and principal editor was a “blueprint” for the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP). In his June 2005 testimony to the U.S. Senate, Dr. Pastor informed the Foreign Relations Committee of this link:

Entitled “Building a North American Community,” the report offered a blueprint of the goals that the three countries of North America should pursue and the steps needed to achieve these goals.

The CFR report, under Robert Pastor’s direction, recommended expanding the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) into a North American military command, creating a North American Development Fund to help pay for Mexico’s economic development, establishing a North American Union Court to resolve disputes, establishing a North American Advisory Council to serve as the NAU executive branch, and creating a North American Inter-Parliamentary Group to act as NAU lawmaker. These recommendations derive directly from Robert Pastor’s many published books and papers, as well as his extensive professional testimony to Congress and groups such as the Tri-Lateral Commission. His most comprehensive statement of his views on creating the NAU by transforming NAFTA into a political entity were expressed in his 2001 book, “Toward a North American Community”, where he also advocated the creation of a common NAU currency, the Amero, as first proposed by Canadian economist Herbert Grubel.

Critics who argue that the NAU is a “conspiracy theory” are well advised to take a hard look at Robert Pastor. With U.S. policy toward Latin America, Dr. Pastor first approached the issue in writing (for the radical IPS, as we have noted), next as a university professor, and finally as a government official. Had John Kerry won the 2004 presidential election, Robert Pastor most likely would have emerged with a government position from which he could have pursued his NAU agenda. Given the re-election of George Bush, Dr. Pastor has surfaced within the CFR, an influential “think-tank” NGO whose history of impacting U.S. policy would suggest the CFR impact on SPP.gov could easily be more than academic.

Pastor himself admits that the CFR report served as a template for the SPP, although the US site of the SPP flatly denies that the partnership is a prelude to continental union: “The SPP in no way, shape or form considers the creation of a European Union-like structure or a common currency. The SPP does not attempt to modify our sovereignty or currency or change the American system of government designed by our Founding Fathers.” ‘Nuff said, at least for dot.gov types.

Neo-Communism, Anti-Globalism, and the Nationalist Left in Canada

The nationalist Left in Canada, which includes the Socialist International-affiliated New Democratic Party and the newer Canadian Action Party (CAP), however, following the neo-communist line, opposes globalization, which represents the ongoing internationalization of capital as articulated by elite groups such as the World Economic Forum. The nationalist left is correct in realizing that globalization, under the guidance of seemingly omnipotent multinational corporations, threatens the sovereignty of Canada and other small and middle powers. Sometimes the nationalist left’s position on world and regional government is ambiguous, like the communists, since socialists in general only oppose regional and world government inasmuch as it fails to advance some form of socialism rather than capitalism.

In another article on the NAU, Corsi quotes Connie Fogal, leader of the CAP: “We are opposed to the plan to develop the Security and Prosperity Partnership into a EU-style North American Union government [which] amounts to treason and is a total violation of the constitutional rights of Canadian citizens.” In protest the CAP recently decided to fly the Canadian flag upside down at its September 8-10, 2006 convention “as a signal of our distress and resistance against the integration of Canada with the United States and Mexico.” According to Fogal, “The plan is to create the NAU incrementally because if any of the three governments were up front about their true intentions, the SPP plan would never fly.” Fogal was also quoted as stating: “The rapid integration of North America into one entity ruled by an unaccountable, unrepresented and unelected group cabal of administrative executive branch officials is treason pure and simple,” she said. Corsi observes that: “The Canadian Action Party is recognized by Canadian federal elections officials as an official Canadian political party. In the 2006 federal election, the party fielded some 36 candidates but received only some .04% of the vote.”

The CAP was founded by the UFO-tracking, Lyndon LaRouche-esque political nomad Paul Hellyer, Deputy Prime Minister under crypto-communist Pierre Trudeau. Hellyer ran unsuccessfully for the leadership of the Liberal Party in 1968 and the defunct, pseudo-conservative Progressive Conservative Party in 1976. The CAP supports the abrogation of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the new SPP (with corresponding Canadian and Mexican websites), and opposes the implementation of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) and Pastor’s CFR project, the proposed NAU. On this issue, at least, the CAP differs little from the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist), which demands that the country withdraw from NAFTA, NORAD, and NATO, arguing that these are capitalist entities and inimical to communism.

Hellyer has published a number of books, including The Evil Empire: Globalization’s Darker Side (Toronto: Chimo Media, 1997) and Goodbye Canada (Toronto: Chimo Media, 2001), the latter of which has a back-cover endorsement from Michel Chossudovsky, Professor of Economics at the very-left-wing University of Ottawa, Canada’s “national university.” Chossudovsky is the founder of the anti-globalist Centre for Research on Globalization, which promotes the lie, advanced by Western leftists and faux rightists, as well as communists worldwide, that the Bush administration, fronting for the conservative think tank, Project for the New American Century, orchestrated the 911 terror attacks. Among other alleged plots, the CIA, the Left’s favorite bugbear, was responsible for bringing down the World Trade Center Twin Towers and WTC 7 with explosives. Sane correctives debunking anti-American 911 conspiracy theories are found at the bottom of this blogsite’s right column.

Anti-globalism, of course, is a post-Soviet euphemism for anti-capitalism and neo-communism, as embodied by the anti-FTAA Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas, concocted by Comrades Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, with the later addition of Bolivia, under the leadership of Evo Morales, and the possible addition of Nicaragua, if long-time Sandinista comandante Daniel Ortega wins that country’s presidential election in November 2006. The World Social Forum, which was last held in “Bolivarian” Venezuela earlier this year, is an important component in the Red International’s opposition to globalization. The spat between the FTAA and the socialist Bolivarian bloc is simply another example of communists and capitalists struggling to control the reins of regional and world government.

Communism’s Red World Order versus Capitalism’s New World Order

In a classic case of “projection,” Soviet communists have attributed to the Western capitalist elite the same goal of world dictatorship that the Red International is assiduously pursuing through the United Nations, EU and now, apparently, the NAU. For example, in 1995 Aleksandr Rutskoi attested: “[Russia’s main enemy is] the creation of a global dicatorship by the West under the crafty label ‘New World Order'” (quoted in The Sunday Times, London, April 9, 1995; reprinted in Anatoliy Golitsyn, The Perestroika Deception [London: Edward Harle, 1995, 1998], page 247). Among other posts, Rutskoi served as vice president of Russia between July 10, 1991, when that state was still known as the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic, and September 21, 1993, when the Soviet behemoth putatively abandoned communism.

Similarly, in 1996 Gennady Zyuganov, chair of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF), which pretends to the succession of the CPSU in order to obscure the fact that the latter maintains a separate, continuing existence, affirmed: “We [Russians] are the last power on this planet that is capable of mounting a challenge to the New World Order–the global cosmopolitan dictatorship” (quoted in Martin A. Lee, The Beast Reawakens [Boston: Little, Brown and Co., 1997], page 320; reported in The Spotlight, May 20, 1996).

Lastly, one need only listen to the rantings of CPRF Duma deputy General Albert Makashov who, like the czars and their minions, in 1999 attributed Russia’s woes to the country’s nouveau riche oligarchs, some of whom are admittedly Jewish: “Life in our country is getting worse and worse. Never has it been this bad in Russia, even under the Mongol yoke. Who is to blame? The executive branch, the bankers, and the mass media are to blame. Usury, deceit, corruption, and thievery are flourishing in the country. That is why I call the reformers yids. Who are these Jews? In English they are called Jews, in French — Juif, and in Yiddish — Yid.”

Incidentally, the Nazis adopted the same deceptive strategy with respect to international Jewry’s alleged plot for global domination. Since Russia, not Germany, has been the world epicenter for anti-Semitism for at least one hundred years, communist rantings frequently feature tales of a “Zionist-Masonic-capitalist conspiracy” to dominate the globe. The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, after all, were a concoction of the czarist secret police that migrated to Western Europe and into Adolf Hitler’s eager hands with the post-Bolshevik Revolution flight of Russia’s aristocracy. Anti-Zionism/anti-semitism, like anticapitalism, forms the heart and soul of Soviet communism. At this point the far left and faux right converge.

Whither the West?

In advancing the cause of regional and world government, the Western capitalist elite who sign onto such dangerous, self-aggrandizing schemes are only providing the communists with the rope that will be used to hang us all. Officialdom in all three North American countries deny that NAFTA and SPP truly lead in the direction of regional government. Still, there is no question that the capitalist nations committed a lethal error 60 years ago in joining the United Nations which is, without question, an embryonic, albeit inefficient, world government dominated by communist, “post”-communist, and anti-American states that are now demanding the power to levy taxes worldwide to regenerate their corrupt regimes at the West’s expense.

Herein, therefore, lies a dilemma for the true rightist. On the one hand, the true rightist supports private property and capital accumulation. On the other hand, unlike the globalists, the true rightist is a patriot and refuses to do business with communist regimes or sell the sovereignty of his country to the United Nations, regional trading blocs or governments, or some other international entity. The true rightist despises the Nepmen and is a “patriotic capitalist” who respects profit, but nevertheless places morality above worldly wealth.

In a previous blog we offered the following scenario: First imagine the implementation of the North American Union per the CFR recommendation. Next imagine communist revolution in Mexico with some agitation from Obrador and a few nudges from Chavez and Castro. Finally, imagine a victorious Hillary Clinton in the USA’s 2008 presidential election. Take if from there . . .

>Feature: New world religion: Soviet communists guide interfaith movement at Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions in Kazakhstan

>The Communist Infiltration of Religion

Karl Marx referred to religion as “the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people.” He was an ethnic Jew, apostate Lutheran and–according to Richard Wurmbrand, likewise an ethnic Jew and a Lutheran pastor (died 2001) who suffered valiantly under Romania’s communist regime–a Satanist. In The Communist Manifesto (1848) Marx spelled out the fate of religion under the dictatorship of the proletariat: “The communist revolution is the most radical rupture with traditional relations; no wonder that its development involved the most radical rupture with traditional ideas” (Chapter 2).

Since then communists have successfully used liberation theology to infiltrate numerous religious organizations, such as the World Council of Churches, the Society of Jesus, and the Latin American Episcopal Conference, for the purpose of making religious teachings subservient to the disciples of Lenin. The interfaith movement, which requires practitioners of all faiths to reduce their religions to a mere essence in order to facilitate harmony, is an important component in the communist agenda to destroy religion altogether. Despite reassurances from movement leaders, interfaithism is an incipient “new world religion.”

For example, during the Second Vatican Council the Roman Curia established two new pontifical commissions for the purpose of promoting interdenominational and interfaith concord: Promoting Christian Unity and Inter-Religious Dialogue. The globetrotting Pope John Paul II was diligent in carrying out this mandate. His successor Pope Benedict XVI’s first Christmas message, in 2005, broadcast on Vatican Radio, indicates the new pope’s continuing commitment to the establishment of both a new world religion and a new international economic order:

Men and women of today, humanity come of age yet often still so frail in mind and will, let the Child of Bethlehem take you by the hand! Do not fear; put your trust in him! The life-giving power of his light is an incentive for building a new world order based on just ethical and economic relationships. May his love guide every people on earth and strengthen their common consciousness of being a “family” called to foster relationships of trust and mutual support. A united humanity will be able to confront the many troubling problems of the present time: from the menace of terrorism to the humiliating poverty in which millions of human beings live, from the proliferation of weapons to the pandemics and the environmental destruction which threatens the future of our planet.

Pope Benedict’s call for a “new world order” is really a call for a red world order that finds support in the “social teachings” of the Catholic Church and would probably offend many Catholics in wealthy countries such as the USA and Canada:

The Church’s social doctrine requires that ownership of goods be equally accessible to all . . .

Christian tradition has never recognized the right to private property as absolute and untouchable . . .

Private property, in fact, regardless of the concrete forms of the regulations and juridical norms relative to it, is in its essence only an instrument for respecting the principle of the universal destination of goods; in the final analysis, therefore, it is not an end but a means

An equitable distribution of land remains ever critical, especially in developing countries and in countries that have recently changed from systems based on collectivities or colonization . . .

One is hard pressed to see how Marx and his disciples today would disagree with the Vatican’s economic theories.

The pope’s 2005 Christmas message not only panders to communist dogma by advocating a “new world order based on just ethical and economic relationships” and emphasizing the “humiliating poverty in which millions of human beings live,” but erects a fictitious construct called “united humanity.” The last is conceivable only on the basis of interfaith compromise and theological relativism which, as noted above, are key components in the communist agenda for the destruction of religion. I sincerely doubt that the former head of the renamed Inquisition is a communist, but if that is not the case, then someone is skillfully guiding Joseph Ratzinger and official Catholic teaching in a direction that unwittingly bolsters communism.

While Herr Ratzinger would in all likelihood openly oppose communism, the retinue of Polish priests that followed the previous pope, John Paul II, to the Vatican contained informers for the Polish communist secret police. “In the Vatican, there were spies,” Cardinal Jozef Glemp, the primate of Poland, was quoted by Italian news agency ANSA as saying earlier this month. “Moscow had every interest in knowing what was going on in Rome with a Polish pope.”

Soviet Communists Hijack the “Post”-Communist Interfaith Movement

The Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, which is currently holding its second congress under the auspices of the “former” communist dictator of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, brought together leaders from the three main branches of Christianity–Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism–as well as Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoism, and Taoism. Apparently satisfied with the results of the interfaith dialogue, the “ex”-CPSU member Nazarbayev is now calling for a permanent international center of religions, presumably in the Kazakh capital of Astana, where the continuing CPSU can guide the course of interfaith self-destruction. Meanwhile, with characteristic Leninist hypocrisy, the “post”-communist government of the Republic of Kazakhstan persecutes Baptists, Hare Krishnas and other religious groups . . .

The Palace of Peace and Accord in Astana, the architecture of which will no doubt raise red flags (pun intended) in the minds of the most devout Illuminati-hunters, is pictured above and below.

Kazakh president calls for setting up intl center of religions
13.09.2006, 12.50

ASTANA, September 13 (Itar-Tass) – Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev believes it is necessary to set up, under the aegis of the congress of leaders of world and traditional religions, an international center of cultures and religions.

Nazarbayev brought forward the initiative at the religious forum that ended its work in Astana on Wednesday.

Aside from religious and cultural problems the center could implement educational, science and research and humanitarian projects and engage in the study of potential conflicting aspects of the religious situation in the world.

“The important tasks of such a center would be to hold international events and contribute to contacts and mutual understanding between clerics and political elites of different countries, and publish books,” the president said.

Summing up the results of the forum, Nazarbayev noted that “the congress of leaders of world and traditional religions is becoming a permanently operating influential international forum,” which means that “the idea of a dialogue between the confessions is needed to the highest extent.”

Participants in the forum arrived at uniform understanding “of the universal principles of inter-religious dialogue and approved them,” the president went on to say.

“Taking into account their considerable significance, I suggest they should be submitted to the United Nations for consideration,” Nazarbayev said.

The Kazakh leader reminded that the world was shaken by the September 11 tragedy five years ago, when the terrorist attacks on the United States, horrendous in their cruelty, showed the danger of destructive forces that profess violence and terror.

“We again became convinced that the world is fragile and interconnected, so the destructive ideology of terrorism should be confronted with an ideology of tolerance, accord and dialogue,” he said.

Winding up its work, the second congress of leaders of world and traditional religions in Astana adopted a declaration.

The Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions follows on the heels of the World Summit of Religious Leaders, which convened in Moscow in early July, several days before the G-8 Summit. Both Russian Federation President Vladimir (“There’s No Such Thing as a Former KGB Man”) Putin and KGB agent Patriarch Alexius II of the Russian Orthodox Church, pictured here, addressed the summit. “There are attempts to divide our planet along religious or ethnic lines and, first and foremost, to drive a wedge between Christian and Muslim communities,” Comrade Czar Putin affirmed, failing to mention the fact that the Kremlin’s subversive propaganda is largely to blame for the current “wedge” between Christianity and Islamo-Marxism. Following the CPSU line, Comrade Patriarch Alex intoned: “We believe that the time has come for a more systemic partnership of religious leaders with the United Nations.” This is the same guy, by the way, who congratulated Comrade Fidel on the occasion of the communist dictator’s 80th birthday:

I greet you with your 80th birthday and wholeheartedly congratulate you on this remarkable date. Your life has been inseparably linked with the destiny of your Motherland. You have become its leader many years ago and took responsibility before God for ordering Cuban society and the life of people. Your work in this noble field is well known in Russia. Christian spiritual experience testifies that service to God is performed through sincere ministry to the neighbours. St Paul writes about that, ‘Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ’ (Gal 6:2). I wish you the strength granted by God so that you could inspire people for solidarity in work and in life by your personal example.

Still don’t think the Moscow Patriarch is an FSB/KGB agent? Sorry, can’t help you . . . Take note fundamentalists of all faiths: You’re not welcome in the sodomy-friendly New World Religion ala Mike (“I’ll Always Be a Communist”) Gorbachev’s Earth Charter Initiative.

>USSR2 File: Chairman Shenin of continuing CPSU to run in Russia’s 2008 presidential election, present revitalized party to world

>All structures OF CPSU – COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION and international public union “for the union and the Communist Party of union” must in the remained time to form the millionth on the number, well controlled front of the support Of shenina O.S. of the CC CPSU necessary to develop and to propose to the people of Russia the clear program of first priority measures if it will become the ruling party.
— Kaliningrad Provincial Committee, Continuing CPSU; August 21, 2006 [Babelfish translation]

All structures of the CPSU – Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the international public union, meaning [probably] the Communist Party of the Union of Russia and Belarus, must in the remaining time [before the 2008 election] secure at least one million members, establish a well-controlled front to support Oleg Shenin of the Central Committee (CC) of the CPSU, and develop a clear program of proposals to the people of Russia. [These are] first priority measures if it [the CPSU] is to become the ruling party [at least openly].
— Perilous Times’ translation

Since the continuing Communist Party of the Soviet Union inserted its FSB minion Vladimir Putin into the presidency of the Russian Federation in 1999, there has been endless wrangling among the CPSU factions as to which is the faithful torchbearer of Marxism-Leninism. Gennady Zyuganov, chair of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, has stated that he will again seek the RF presidency in the 2008 election, although he declined to do so in 2004 in order to perpetuate the ruse that the communists no longer rule Russia.

The love-hate relationships among Soviet Communists are now very evident with the entrance of Oleg Shenin, chair of the continuing Communist Party of the Soviet Union, into the 2008 presidential election. Shenin, pictured above, supported the State Emergency Committee (GKChP) in the 1991 “Vodka Putsch” against Gorby and was jailed following the coup. The stated objective of the continuing CPSU is, as we have demonstrated before in this blogsite, the restoration of the Soviet Union in all of its “dysfunctional glory.”

For the record, the eight members of the GKChP, along with Shenin, were arrested:

  • Gennady Yanayev, Soviet Vice President; now a pension fund consultant
  • Vladimir Kryuchkov, Director, KGB; has since published his memoirs
  • Dmitriy Yazov, Soviet Defense Minister; now an arms exporter advisor
  • Valentin Pavlov, Soviet Prime Minister; now a banker
  • Oleg Baklanov, Soviet Defense Council
  • Vasily Starodubtsev, Member, Soviet Parliament
  • Alexander Tizyakov, president of state enterprises, industrial construction, transport, and communications
  • Boris Pugo, Interior Minister, shot himself to avoid arrest

The Public Opinion Foundation (POF) polled Russians in August 2006 and concluded that 74% of respondents who demonstrated a favorable attitude toward the coup leaders now believe that their victory would have “done Russia good.” Until 1992 the POF was part of the All-Russia Center for the Study of Public Opinion and in 1996 the POF served as the election headquarters of Boris Yeltsin’s public opinion center.

The leadership of the continuing CPSU stresses the fact that Gorbachev and the “reform” communists dissolved the Soviet Union contrary to the wishes of the country’s citizens, which were expressed in the March 17, 1991 referendum in which 78% of voters supported the retention of the USSR, albeit in a revised format.

Most benighted inhabitants of the West struggle with the concept that communists still believe in communism. You and I know communism does not work. However, you will NEVER convince a communist that that is so. He will even go so far as to employ capitalism to advance communism, to wit Vladimir Lenin’s New Economic Policy in the 1920s, Boris Yeltsin’s New Economic Policy Version 2.0, and the Communist Party of China’s strategic utilization of capitalism to establish the economic dependency of the West on the Communist Bloc. Chairman Shenin’s commitment to communism and intent to whitewash the crimes of past communist regimes, including his own, the old Soviet Union, is obvious in his endorsement at No2Anticommunism of a counter-resolution against the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe’s recent anti-communist resolution:

We the undersigned, independently of our views on the ex-socialist countries, appeal to the members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) to firmly reject – at a following session of the PACE – the resolution “Need for international condemnation of crimes of totalitarian communist regimes”, voted on 25 January 2006.

PACE Resolution 1481 called “on all communist or post-communist parties in its member states which have not yet done so to reassess the history of communism and their own past, clearly distance themselves from the crimes committed by totalitarian communist regimes and condemn them without any ambiguity.” Both Shenin and Zyuganov objected to this and the other articles in the resolution. Food for thought as both men contemplate running for office in the Not-So-Former Soviet Union . . .

Note that in the quote below the Kaliningrad Provincial Committee of the continuing CPSU insists that the last 15 years of Russian history have NOT been a retreat from communism: “We do not consider this retreat from our strategic course on the Socialist Revolution.”

Second, the committee presents Shenin as the Soviet Union’s savior and attributes the downfall of the first USSR to the machinations of Western intelligence agencies, working in collaboration with Gorbachev: “You only from the composition GKCHP during August 1991 insisted on the immediate arrest of the state criminals of Gorbachev and Yeltsin, who carry out the task of his masters, western services with respect to the destruction of the Soviet Union.”

Third, the committee suggests that the “Prerequisites for the information breakthrough OF CPSU – COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION will be created.” In other words, the continuing CPSU will shortly step out of the shadows and present itself to the citizen/slaves of Russia and the duped denizens of the communized West. The Final Phase of the perestroika deception is about to reach its denouement. Viva Golitsyn!

To chairman OF CPSU – COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION
To o.S.Sheninu
August 21, 2006

Respected Oleg semenovich!

The Kaliningrad provincial committee OF CPSU – COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION with the great satisfaction perceived your readiness to participate in the forthcoming Presidential elections of the Russian Federation.

We do not consider this retreat from our strategic course on the Socialist Revolution. Moreover, participation in the Presidential elections of the Russian Federation at the given historical moment is the component part of the revolutionary fight OF CPSU – COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION. Participation itself in the Presidential elections RF will to a considerable extent contribute to the rallying of the forces of the revolution of /sub”ektivnogo factor /, objective conditions of the Socialist Revolution lagging behind the ripening.

Prerequisites for the information breakthrough OF CPSU – COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION will be created.

It is at the same time necessary to design for bitter resistance of regime. What in our view it is necessary to make pressingly? First of all for our practical work is necessary turning the chairman OF CPSU – COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION O.S. Of shenina to the citizens of Russia about the threatening catastrophe of our country and the real ways of its averting and revival as the Great Power. All structures OF CPSU – COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION and international public union “for the union and the Communist Party of union” must in the remained time to form the millionth on the number, well controlled front of the support Of shenina O.S. of the CC CPSU necessary to develop and to propose to the people of Russia the clear program of first priority measures if it will become the ruling party.

Among them:

– complete nationalization in the interests of entire people of banks, natural resources and means of production. Retention under the control of the state of small particular structures in the trade and the communal services of the public together with the state unitary enteprises is allowed for the transition period;

– the planned restoration of national economy, heavy and light industry on the basis of the latest achievements of scientific and technical revolution;

– the revival of agricultural production on the basis of state farms and kolkhozes. If necessary, in connection with the disintegration of the country occured in the years, by the destruction of productive forces in the village to draw labor resources due to the call of young people, which is subject to service in the armed forces, by way of alternative service without the prolongation of the period of service.

Bright and strong personality in the Head of The State is necessary for the country.

Similar You Are, Oleg semenovich. You only from the composition GKCHP during August 1991 insisted on the immediate arrest of the state criminals of Gorbachev and Yeltsin, who carry out the task of his masters, western services with respect to the destruction of the Soviet Union.

You only from the leaders OF CPSU – COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION and Soviet State did not tremble and remained the USSR accurate to constitution. The nonfulfillment of its constitutional debt of remaining members GKCHP and leaders, who occupied the highest state posts, led to the tragedy for our country and Soviet people.

We request you to head people- patriotic front on the revival of our native land and to participate in the forthcoming Presidential elections of the Russian Federation. Specifically, you, leader of restored CPSU – COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION, after becoming in the Head of The State, are capable to stop destructive course, to restrain the inevitable mutiny of the criminal bourgeoisie of Russia and, relying on the best traditions and the experience of Soviet time, of reviving Russia as the Great Power, and also, answering the expectations of Soviet people, to return to it its native land – the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Chairman Of the meeting P.I. Of pinchuk

We’re not making up any of this stuff, folks. It’s the real deal. Enter the next President of the restored Soviet Union . . . Mr. O. Shenin.

>Communist Bloc Military Updates: Russia "commemorates" fifth anniversary of 911 attacks with Arctic ICBM test launch

>Navy Launches ICBM in Arctic
Monday, September 11, 2006. Issue 3494. Page 3.
The Associated Press

The navy successfully test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile from a nuclear-powered submarine near the North Pole, Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said Sunday.

The nuclear submarine K-84 launched the missile Saturday, and all three test warheads hit their target, a testing range in the Archangelsk region on the Barents Sea, Ivanov reported to President Vladimir Putin in televised comments.

“The launch was successful,” he said, adding that it had been challenging: “Aiming from the North Pole, where the concepts of latitude and longitude are relative, makes this launch difficult.”

Ivanov suggested it was the first time a test-launch from the area had been conducted by the military in 11 years.

He spoke days after an unsuccessful test of a new sea-based ICBM.

An experimental Bulava missile launched from a submerged nuclear submarine in the White Sea on Thursday veered off its designated flight path and fell into the sea, the Defense Ministry said.

And, what, pray tell, was the neo-Soviet state doing on September 11, 2001 . . . while Mohammad Atta, who trained at a terrorist camp in Czechoslovakia before the Velvet Revolution, was guiding his deadly cargoes toward the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and possibly the White House or Capitol Building? Why, conducting preannounced military “exercises” in the Arctic. We can only speculate that on that day of infamy Moscow’s Leninist cabal was either preparing to launch a preemptive attack on North America, following a terrorist-led decapitation strike against the US government, or merely intending to push the US economy over the edge, per economist Dr. Tatyana Koryagina’s warning in the July 12, 2001 issue of Pravda. The latter, of course, is the organ of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the largest constituent party of the continuing Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which “banned” itself after the August 1991 “coup” against Mike (“I’ll Always Be a Communist”) Gorbachev.

Maneuvers to simulate defense against a large-scale airspace attack began on 10 September 2001. According to Air Force chief Anatoliy Kornukov, they were intended to cover the whole Arctic, as well as northern parts of the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans, including the vicinity of Norway, Iceland, the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. The main task was reportedly to penetrate the air defense of NATO and North America (NORAD). As part of the exercise, long-range bombers were moved to auxiliary bases in Anadyr, Tiksi, and Vorkuta. A new element of these maneuvers was, according to newspaper reports, training for the use of long-range ALCMs outside the reach of NORAD (since Russia has had long-range nuclear ALCMs since the 1980s, apparently these reports meant conventional ALCMs, which began to appear in the Russian Armed Forces only in the late 1990s). The only real launches planned in these regions involved short-range missiles launched from Tu-22M3 over the Kamchatka Peninsula in a simulated attack against an aircraft carrier group.

The plan was abruptly changed immediately after news of terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, DC on 11 September 2001 reached Moscow. To avoid possible complications and misperceptions, the Air Force terminated all “practical activities” planned for the ongoing maneuvers following a request from the United States. This included a termination of flights not only toward U.S. territory, but also “around the corner” toward Norway and Iceland. Launches of short-range ALCMs from five Tu-22M3 bombers (three belonging to the Naval Air Command and two from the Air Force) over Kamchatka against seaborne targets were still conducted, but only within Russian territorial waters. Also, both heavy and medium bombers practiced missile launches at an internal Russian test range near the Caspian sea.

>Red Terror File: Blaming Basayev: Mystery surrounds Chechen warlord’s death prior to G-8 Summit; direction of Kremlin-led "Chechen terror" unclear

>By his very existence he [Basayev] teased and provoked Moscow, demonstrating its inability to establish an effective control over the region and the impotence of its special services.
— Vladimir Voronov, New Times, August 2006

And that, dear reader, is one of the principle reasons for the existence of “Chechen terrorism.” Soviet propaganda has mastered the art of feigning weakness when strong.

Some weeks ago we noted that deceased Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev, a known GRU asset, had apparently served his “historic mission” in the Kremlin’s red terror operations against its citizens and in its strategic deception against the West. There have been no major terrorist operations in Russia, however, since the Beslan school massacre, which bears all the hallmarks of a Kremlin provocation. Perhaps the Russian Federation Federal Security Service (FSB/KGB) finally got around to reading the 4,400 copies of the book Blowing Up Russia that the agency confiscated in December 2003 and decided to keep a low profile . . . until the collective leadership of the continuing Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Oleg Shenin, Mike (“I’ll Always Be a Communist”) Gorbachev & Co., issues the order to FSB Director Nikolai Patrushev to again terrorize Russians, this time into voting for Gennady Zyuganov in the 2008 presidential election.

Who will be the new Islamic terrorist whipping boy for the Kremlin? Without a prominent figurehead like Basayev or ex-Russian Army colonel Aslan Maskhadov, who was rubbed out by the FSB in 2005, the potential for spectacular terrorist acts in Russia appears, but probably is not, diminished.

Moscow’s Leninist masterminds will no doubt produce a new drama to rebuild the Soviet Union. The politically organized youth of Russia might serve the communist cause well. In that scenario Chairman Zyuganov will ride into the Kremlin in the wake of martial law and armed confrontations, already in progress, between Nashi, the crypto-fascist, pro-Kremlin “Putin Youth,” which features a website with an “.su” (Soviet Union) country code, and the new “anti”-Kremlin United Youth League, which consists of Za Rodina, Rodina’s youth organization, and the CPRF Komsomol.

Inquiring minds want to know.

THE KILLING OF THE WARLORD. WHO ORDERED IT?
By Vladimir Voronov
August 2006

Shamil Basayev has taken many secrets to his grave Shamil Basayev is dead. His death has been reported more than once, but this time it looks like his life has indeed ended. For the first time in the history of the Chechen wars, Basayev’s death was confirmed at the highest level. What’s more, the Federal Security Service (FSB) chief reported this to the head of state before TV cameras. That was done to convey the message to the public that Basayev’s killing was not an accident, but the result of a sting operation carried out by special services. By the evening of July 10, a rebel website also confirmed his death and proclaimed Shamil Basayev a “shahid,” that is, the martyr of faith.

Distinctive features

As is always the case, the details and circumstances of the event look rather mysterious. It is only known that Basayev was blown to bits when a KamAZ truck exploded in the Ingush village of Ekazhevo on the night of July 10. It is said that Basayev might have been riding in a car near the truck to supervise preparations for a terrorist attack. At least three other rebels died in the powerful blast.

The initial morning report of the FSB department in Ingushetia didn’t mention Basayev’s name. It said the blast was due to the rebels’ mishandling of arms and ammunition, and the bodies of four of rebels were found at the site of the blast. Later in the day, FSB chief Nikolai Patrushev announced that a special operation had been carried out in Ingushetia during which Basayev was killed. Without offering any details, the FSB director said security forces had been able to do it due to the existence of operative positions abroad, primarily in countries where arms were collected and then transported to Russia for use in terrorist acts.

Certain details started to emerge only after the official announcement. As is often the case, there is a great variety of versions. Some say the FSB claims credit for what actually was the rebels’ mishandling of explosives. Others vaguely hint on some device planted into these explosives. Russia’s TV Channel One even spoke about a “precision missile hit,” like the one which killed Dzhokhar Dudayev in April 1996. It was not clear how Basayev’s body was identified. In any case, Ingush special services reported the blast was so powerful that the truck was reduced to sheer fragments, and people were virtually pulverized. They said at first nothing was left of Basayev’s body. However, according to Ingush Deputy Prime Minister Bashir Aushev, who controls law enforcement agencies, Basayev was identified by the head. Later it was said the body was beheaded and the warlord was identified by body fragments. Experts knew his distinctive features: a big beard and a prosthetic leg. All characteristic features were there, and that helped positively identify him. Although the FSB is one hundred percent sure that Basayev was killed, his remains would be sent to a laboratory for a DNA analysis.

As time goes by, the reported number of rebels who accompanied the truck and were killed also grows. First, it was reported that four bodies were found, then ten, and now, apart from Basayev, twelve, including several notorious rebels from Doku Umarov’s group (Tarkhan Ganizhev, Isa Kushtov) and Ingush Wahhabi leader Magomed Yevloyev, aka Magas.

According to an official version, Basayev had planned a major terrorist act on the eve of the G8 summit in St. Petersburg. Unofficially, it was stated that he had prepared a big explosion in Nazran, in front of Ingushetia’s Interior Ministry. But the character of the truck load showed that something bigger was planned. It is not yet known whether the truck contained explosives, but it was established that it was full of unguided aircraft missiles (NURS), because more than one hundred unexploded missiles were found scattered in the vicinity. Apart from them, three tommy-guns, two grenade-launchers and 15,500 cartridges were found on the site of the explosion. The latter detail undermines the theory that an ordinary explosion of a government building was planned, for nobody would load a truck meant for detonation with cartridges. Besides, such quantity of ammunition was definitely too big for the three tommy-guns. Perhaps an operation similar to the attack on Ingushetia on June 22, 2004 was being prepared…

Special secrets

The main discrepancies can be seen in examining the versions of what really happened. If this was a special operation then how it was technically carried out. Was the terrorists’ truck mine-infested or was a special explosive device supplied with a microchip planted in the ammunition. Or, perhaps, the vehicle column of the rebels was hit by a missile? How did they know that Basayev was in the column? Was there an agent who helped track down Basayev or not we would never be told. After all, it could be a spontaneous explosion, an accident. Representatives of Ingushetia’s Interior Ministry said that they didn’t believe in the “precision missile strike” on the vehicle column. Anyone who knows anything about missiles would hardly disagree with this view. The footage from the site could be proof the explosion originated in the truck. According to Ingush special services, the truck exploded when the operation to catch the rebels began. The truck didn’t move at the time. It doesn’t agree with the natural course of events, because in this case security forces should have suffered big casualties and the entire group would have been blasted.

But if this was indeed a successful special operation, shall we ever learn anything about it? Say, after ten years since the elimination of General Dudayev, do we know much about it? Only hearsay…

According to Ingush versions, it was a mishap. The point is that if the federal services did really carry out an operation against Basayev, they would have informed their local Ingush counterparts at the very last moment, because it is no secret that information from Ingush, Chechen and other North Caucasian sources seeps through just like water from old rusty pipes. For one shouldn’t explain the successes and elusiveness of the key figures of the Chechen resistance only by their luck, cunning or the impotence and incompetence of the federal special services. Basayev’s successes would have been impossible without a well-organized and reliable information support.

This is why the version about an explosive device having been planted in the truckload meant for Basayev seems quite tangible. Of course, there are cases of terrorists being killed by sudden explosions, especially when they deal with self-made devices and while doing this violate the accepted safety regulations. Basayev had for many years dealt with all these “toys” and he could well have made a mistake. But in this particular case, I don’t believe the explosion was an accident, although it’s impossible to find out what kind of explosives the terrorists’ truck had been carrying at the time. However, NURS missiles loaded on this KamAZ truck are quite reliable and do not explode by themselves as a result of bumps and jolts, otherwise they wouldn’t be used for equipping helicopters and planes. Thus, this was indeed a special operation dedicated to the G8 summit. Apparently, they had little hope for success until they got the proof — Basayev’s head, beard and a prosthetic leg.

Shamil’s legends

Basayev’s death is an important event, even if there has been no special operation at all. This is undoubtedly the success of Putin personally and his special services. They promised to ‘destroy’ him and they fulfilled their promise, although it took many years of hunting and cost many lives. One may argue that he died by accident. But had he not been hunted for so many years, there wouldn’t have been such an outcome. A man pursued is prone to making fatal errors.

Anyway, the importance of Basayev’s death should not be belittled. He was a banner, a symbol of an entire era. By his very existence he teased and provoked Moscow, demonstrating its inability to establish an effective control over the region and the impotence of its special services. By his activity he demonstrated not only his own viability, but also the impunity of terrorism as such and the inability of the Russian authorities to conquer it. Even having lost his previous authority and influence he had in the late 1990s, he remained a key figure in the Caucasus. He held many threads leading to various people and organizations, quite a few men flocked to and rallied around him, and he also channeled finances from abroad to rebel units. Finally, he was an able, talented guerilla fighter and terrorist. And the fact that his fame has reached almost worldwide dimensions should largely be ascribed to the inability and incompetence of our generals, as well as those experts in subversive activity who had discovered and trained this “good guy” for their own misfortune.

Basayev’s death definitely turns the page in the life not only of Chechnya, but the entire country. The elusive Shamil and, in general, elusiveness as such were a factor of Russian domestic and foreign policy during the past eleven years, from the time of the raid on Budyonnovsk. The history of Chechnya during the past fifteen years was indissolubly linked with Basayev. Whether we like it or not, he has gone down in history and has now become a myth, giving rise to various legends.

The avalanche of monotonous stories about his life presented by TV channels proves the myth has been created and is being successfully circulated. It would be useful to compare what is told and shown with what is withheld. The path of this terrorist was quite simple: from hijacking the plane in Mineralniye Vody to Budyonnovsk, the invasion of Dagestan, the explosion of apartment blocks in Volgodonsk and Moscow, the Nord-Ost hostage-taking, and the raids on Ingushetia and Beslan. All this will be shown and described in detail.

However, some important aspects will, most probably, be hushed down: for example, the fact that Shamil was trained in waging war and carrying out subversive operations by experts from the Russian special services and military intelligence. Or that he started his work as a subversive agent and guerilla fighter in Abkhazia where he acted under command of Russian officers in the interests of Moscow. It is not known in detail what happened after that, perhaps, he was dismissed and abandoned as an agent by his “tutors” and left to his own devices. Anyway, he couldn’t do anything, except what he had been taught to do, and his subsequent terrorist activity showed that the lessons of his Russian instructors had not been wasted.

It is not said either that Basayev who claimed responsibility for all terrorist acts, including the most heinous ones, flatly denied his involvement in the explosions of apartment buildings in Moscow in the autumn of 1999. In his note addressed to President Putin during the Beslan tragedy, he repeated that they had nothing to do with the explosions of houses in Moscow and Volgodonsk. Basayev’s complicity in the killing of Akhmad Kadyrov also looks rather doubtful, although he unwillingly took the responsibility for it on himself.

Anyway, Basayev will take many mysteries to his grave. We do not know to this day how he prepared his raid on Budyonnovsk (was it he, indeed?), why he invaded Dagestan, what was the purpose of the Nord-Ost operation and the real reason for the Beslan school siege, although he claimed responsibility for the Beslan attack. We should admit that we didn’t count on honest evidence from him, inasmuch as it was absolutely clear that nobody intended or hoped to capture Basayev alive. However, it was now possible to present “his scalp” to the G8 summit and ascribe to the villain almost everything. The era of Shamil Basayev has ended. Time will show the consequences of his personal finale.

>USA File: Venezuela’s neo-communist regime joins Mexican-American irredentists, lefties, greenies and sodomites in support of National Latino Congreso

>Venezuela’s neo-communist regime, Mexican-American irredentists, self-loathing whities, assorted maniac leftists, bazillionaire watermelon Marxists like Ted Turner and Teresa Heinz, environmentalists, and sodomites are united in their opposition to the supposedly “oppressive” political and cultural structures that formed the American Republic under the leadership of the, gasp! nefarious White Christian Heterosexual Man. Notwithstanding the conspicuous US flags on the National Latino Congreso (NLC) website, be assured that the NLC, underway this week in Los Angeles, is one of many forums to bash and trash the USA, its founding principles, and “patriarchy,” as well as undermine national security in collusion with foreign governments. The NLC is coordinated by the following entities:

MALDEF, David Montgomery notes, is one of the leading organizations in the Mexican-American Reconquista movement. The NLC organizers use communist jargon such as “social justice” to advance their cultural revolution and transform America.

Foreign dignitaries/troublemakers who will be appearing as panelists at the NLC include:

  • Bernado Alvarez, Venezuelan Ambassador to the United States
  • Hon. Victor Suarez Carrera, Federal Deputy, Mexican House of Representatives
  • Hon. Werner Marroquin, Deputy, Central American Parliament

Heinz, Bill Clinton, who has yet to account for his mysterious KGB-guided tour of the Soviet Union nearly 35 years ago, and Antonio Villaraigosa, the irredentist Mayor of Los Angeles, have been invited to deliver messages to the NLC on September 8.

Among other topics, the NLC panelists will be dissecting the relationship between the spread of neo-communism throughout Latin America and its influence on US Latino politics: “Social Movements and Progressive Governments in South America: Implications for U.S. Policy and U.S. Latino Politics.”

Meanwhile, where is the venue for patriotic Spanish-speaking US citizens? Don’t expect the MSM to cover that angle. Excerpts from NLC website:
