-Caveat Lector-
My unit manager at work, an ex-Special Forces weapons expert
and now a martial arts instructor, was hired recently to be bodyguard
(until the FBI was due to arrive) to Russian defector Col. Stanislav
Lunev, promoter of the "suitcase nukes" scenario (see below).
He was chosen for this task by fascist grey eminence JOHN
SINGLAUB (World Anti-Communist League founder, MC of the 1981
Mountain Shadow Resort meeting that wedded the early "militias"
to Ollie North's Contra ideal and Central American deathsquads,
and a Christic Institute defendant along with Secord, Shackley
and other Bush/"Octopus" capos), because Singlaub, besides
being a friend, keen on ex-Special Forces anti-gun-control types,
is a director of the "Jamestown Foundation" (see after) and Lunev
was one of the Jamestown Foundation's in-house stable of speakers
on the subject of the "renewed Communist threat."
According to my unit manager, Singlaub is not alone among
old Cold Warriors on the board of Jamestown. Another is retired
Adm. Moorer. Other active members (listed on the roster which
is printed hereafter) are ALEXANDER HAIG, Dick Cheney, Henry Hyde,
Kissinger protege Zbigniew Brzezinski, John McCain, Tom Clancy,
and others whose motives and affiliations, more familiar to Conspiracy
Theorists, may suggest the REAL reason why "the Evil Empire" myth
is being raised from the dead to terrorize the popular mind again.
Ah, the "good old days" of the fascist-'50s Warfare State ...
Next, my unit manager is off to an "America in Peril" conference
in which (surprise!) Maj-Gen. Singlaub is lead speaker, alongside
Chris Ruddy, and the WorldNet crew ...

FORMER SOVIET AGENT, NOW DEFECTOR,
WARNS OF RUSSIAN PLANS
(AP [no date]) -- A former Soviet agent says Russia's military
intelligence is gathering information on President Clinton, key
congressional and military leaders and members of the Cabinet for
assassination squads.
Elite troops already are training in the United States and
in the event of war "would try to assassinate as many American
leaders as possible, as well as their families," Stanislav Lunev,
a former colonel in [the GRU], the Russian military intelligence
service, asserts in a book published Wednesday.
They would also blow up power stations, telephone switching
systems and dams and target secret landing sites for Air Force
One, wrote Lunev, who defected in 1992.
"The use of tactical nuclear weapons would be likely," he
said.
Declaring he wanted to use his experience "to warn America
of the dirty tricks that can be played against her," the defector
says Russian pilots are training for action against the United
States and NATO.
In the book, "Through the Eyes of the Enemy," and in an
Associated Press interview, Lunev said special agents were
entering the United States as foreign tourists on fake passports
and that elite troops were locating sites to deposit small
nuclear devices, known as "suitcase bombs," in the Shenandoah
Valley outside Washington and the Hudson Valley of New York.
"Russia remains terrified of the power of America, and
Russian military intelligence does everything it can to prepare
for a war that it considers inevitable," Lunev wrote.
CIA and FBI officials declined to discuss the former colonel
or his assertions. On one of his central points, that Russian
mobsters have considerable control over the Russian government,
including espionage operations, CIA spokesperson Anya Guilsher
said: "The Russian intelligence security services have expressed
public concern regarding Russian organized criminal ties to
government officials. There is a determined effort under way to
prosecute officials for criminal activity."
Gilsher also said "the Russian mafia is something we
continue to watch carefully."
Last September, a senior Russian Defense Ministry official
denied the existence of suitcase-size nuclear bombs, saying such
devices would be technically possible but too costly and
inefficient to produce.
The statements by Lt. Gen. Igor Volynkin disputed claims by
former Russian government officials that Moscow possessed te
miniature bombs and had lost track of some of them.
In the book, Lunev wrote that "America is facing a nation
led by gangsters -- gangsters who have nuclear weapons. And some
of these weapons are on American soil."
In a telephone interview, Lunev said the Russian government
cannot account for about 100 nuclear devices, and "it's possible"
nuclear weapons already have been dropped in the Shenandoah and
Hudson valleys or elsewhere in the United States.
On the influence of Russian mobsters, he spoke without
qualification. "The mafia controls the government and the
political establishment, and as a result of this they have a huge
influence over (President Boris) Yeltsin."
Lunev shied away from registering an opinion of Clinton's
decision to go to Moscow in September for talks with Yeltsin.
"It's not my business," he said.
However, Lunev said it was more important to talk to the
Russian president about the proliferation of missile technology
than to defer a summit until the Russian parliament approves the
START II missile reduction treaty.
Asked what his intentions were, Lunev said: "I wish America
to take much more care about this country's national security
because the Cold War is not finished."
Lunev went on: "There is no military confrontation between
the two blocs, but the Cold War is still in play and going on in
much more dangerous ways. There is no open confrontation, but a
lot of activity from special services and criminals."
Insisting that Russia was preparing for war with the United
States, the former intelligence officer said, "Russian pilots are
training for action against NATO and the U.S. military. Russia
still consider the United States and NATO the main potential
military adversaries."
Asked how U.S. officials responded to his allegations, Lunev
replied: "They are very interested, but they are professional and
they cannot provide emotions."

THE JAMESTOWN FOUNDATION
from http://www/jamestown.org
In 1983 the Jamestown Foundation was created for the purpose
of educating the United States and the West about the nature and
purposes of the Soviet Union.
The foundation was unique because it was the only
organization in the non-communist world which used for this
purpose a vital American national resource which was being wasted
and neglected: those unusual individuals who had fled high
positions in communist countries and sought asylum in the West.
It was believed, correctly as it turned out, that if such
people were given assistance, they would prove to be brilliantly
capable of providing the West with authoritative information and
insight which was not available from any other source.
In the 1980's, Jamestown assisted numerous asylees and
defectors from the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and elsewhere,
to resettle in the United States, to publish books and articles
analyzing international developments, to appear before
university, business, and other audiences, to express their views
on national and international radio and television, to testify
before Congress, and to brief governmental leaders.
It is now widely acknowledged that the insights of those
assisted by Jamestown were a priceless contribution to the
formulation of American policies which led eventually to the
downfall of the dictatorships of the Soviet bloc. In addition,
activities of Jamestown's analysts provided inspiration for the
democratic forces at work inside that bloc. Activists in Eastern
Europe and the Soviet Union later confirmed that the books and
articles produced by Jamestown were widely influential there.
In early 1992, the foundation's Board of Directors decided
that Jamestown should use its new position to continue to serve
during the long and uncertain period during which the countries
of the former Soviet Union attempt to overcome the legacy of
communism.
Jamestown shifted the center of gravity from the United
States to Russia by establishing an on-site presence there, by
undertaking a program of vigorously monitoring and chronicling
the progress of the putative reforms, and by actively assisting
indigenous groups which are struggling to establish political and
economic freedom in that part of the world.
In May, 1992 Jamestown opened an office in Moscow which was
directed by a veteran Russian-speaking journalist. Through this
office, Jamestown published the widely acclaimed Crossroads
magazine between 1992 and April 1995. The Moscow office also
administers grants to indigenous organizations which are working
to foster democracy and free enterprise in the former Soviet
Union.
In 1995 Jamestown vastly expanded its educational program by
commencing the publication of The Monitor and Prism.
