Brzezinski/CFR War Plans in 1997 Book: The Grand Chessboard

"The interests behind the Bush Administration, such as the CFR,
The Trilateral Commission - founded by Brzezinski for David
Rockefeller - and the Bilderberger Group, have prepared for and
are now moving to implement open world dictatorship within the
next five years. They are not fighting against terrorists. They
are fighting against citizens." -- Dr. Johannes B. Koeppl, Ph.D.,
former German defense ministry official and advisor to former NATO
Secretary General Manfred Werner
"[Brzezinski notes], quite clearly (p.53) that any nation that might
become predominant in Central Asia would directly threaten the
current U.S. control of oil resources in the Persian Gulf. In
reading the book it becomes clear why the U.S. had a direct motive
for the looting of some $300 billion in Russian assets during the
1990s, destabilizing Russia's currency (1998) and ensuring that a
weakened Russia would have to look westward to Europe for economic
and political survival, rather than southward to Central Asia. A
dependent Russia would lack the military, economic and political
clout to exert influence in the region and this weakening of
Russia would explain why Russian President Vladimir Putin has been
such a willing ally of U.S. efforts to date."

Zbigniew Brzezinski and the CFR Put War Plans In a 1997 Book
It Is "A Blueprint for World Dictatorship," Says a Former German
Defense and NATO Official Who Warned of Global Domination in 1984,
in an Exclusive Interview With FTW

"THE GRAND CHESSBOARD - American Primacy And It's Geostrategic
Imperatives," Zbigniew Brzezinski, Basic Books, 1997.
These are the very first words in the book: "Ever since the
continents started interacting politically, some five hundred
years ago, Eurasia has been the center of world power." - p. xiii.
Eurasia is all of the territory east of Germany and Poland,
stretching all the way through Russia and China to the Pacific
Ocean. It includes the Middle East and most of the Indian
subcontinent. The key to controlling Eurasia, says Brzezinski, is
controlling the Central Asian Republics. And the key to
controlling the Central Asian republics is Uzbekistan. Thus, it
comes as no surprise that Uzbekistan was forcefully mentioned by
President George W. Bush in his address to a joint session of
Congress just days after the attacks of September 11 as the very
first place that the U.S. military would be deployed.
As FTW has documented in previous stories, major deployments of
U.S. and British forces had taken place before the attacks. And
the U.S. Army and the CIA had been active in Uzbekistan for
several years. There is now evidence that what the world is
witnessing is a cold and calculated war plan - at least four years
in the making - and that, from reading Brzezinski's own words
about Pearl Harbor, the World Trade Center attacks were just the
trigger needed to set the final conquest in motion.
----------
FTW, November 7, 2001, 1200 PST - There's a quote often attributed
to Allen Dulles after it was noted that the final 1964 report of
the Warren Commission on the assassination of JFK contained
dramatic inconsistencies. Those inconsistencies, in effect,
disproved the Commission's own final conclusion that Lee Harvey
Oswald acted alone on November 22, 1963. Dulles, a career spy,
Wall Street lawyer, the CIA director whom JFK had fired after the
1961 Bay of Pigs fiasco - and the Warren Commission member who
took charge of the investigation and final report - is reported to
have said, "The American people don't read."
Some Americans do read. So do Europeans and Asians and Africans
and Latin Americans.
World events since the attacks of September 11, 2001 have not only
been predicted, but also planned, orchestrated and - as their
architects would like to believe - controlled. The current Central
Asian war is not a response to terrorism, nor is it a reaction to
Islamic fundamentalism. It is in fact, in the words of one of the
most powerful men on the planet, the beginning of a final conflict
before total world domination by the United States leads to the
dissolution of all national governments. This, says Council on
Foreign Relations (CFR) member and former Carter National Security
Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, will lead to nation states being
incorporated into a new world order, controlled solely by economic
interests as dictated by banks, corporations and ruling elites
concerned with the maintenance (by manipulation and war) of their
power. As a means of intimidation for the unenlightened reader who
happens upon this frightening plan - the plan of the CFR -
Brzezinski offers the alternative of a world in chaos unless the
U.S. controls the planet by whatever means are necessary and
likely to succeed.
This position is corroborated by Dr. Johannes B. Koeppl, Ph.D. a
former German defense ministry official and advisor to former NATO
Secretary General Manfred Werner. On November 6, he told FTW, "The
interests behind the Bush Administration, such as the CFR, The
Trilateral Commission - founded by Brzezinski for David
Rockefeller - and the Bilderberger Group, have prepared for and
are now moving to implement open world dictatorship within the
next five years. They are not fighting against terrorists. They
are fighting against citizens."
Brzezinski's own words - laid against the current official line
that the United States is waging a war to end terrorism - are
self-incriminating. In an ongoing series of articles, FTW has
consistently established that the U.S. government had
foreknowledge of the World Trade Center attacks and chose not to
stop them because it needed to secure public approval for a war
that is now in progress. It is a war, as described by Vice
President Dick Cheney, "that may not end in our lifetimes." What
that means is that it will not end until all armed groups,
anywhere in the world, which possess the political, economic or
military ability to resist the imposition of this dictatorship,
have been destroyed.
These are the "terrorists" the U.S. now fights in Afghanistan and
plans to soon fight all over the globe.
Before exposing Brzezinski (and those he represents) with his own
words, or hearing more from Dr. Koeppl, it is worthwhile to take a
look at Brzezinski's background.
According to his resume Brzezinski, holding a 1953 Ph.D.
from Harvard, lists the following achievements:
-- Counselor, Center for Strategic and International Studies
-- Professor of American Foreign Policy, Johns Hopkins University
-- National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter (1977-81)
-- Trustee and founder of the Trilateral Commission
-- International advisor of several major US/Global corporations
-- Associate of Henry Kissinger
-- Under Ronald Reagan - member of NSC-Defense Department Commission on
Integrated Long-Term Strategy
-- Under Ronald Reagan - member of the President's Foreign Intelligence
Advisory Board
-- Past member, Board of Directors, The Council on Foreign Relations
-- 1988 - Co-chairman of the Bush National Security Advisory Task Force.
Brzezinski is also a past attendee and presenter at several
conferences of the Bliderberger group - a non-partisan affiliation
of the wealthiest and most powerful families and corporations on
the planet.
The Grand Chessboard
Brzezinski sets the tone for his strategy by describing Russia and
China as the two most important countries - almost but not quite
superpowers - whose interests that might threaten the U.S.in
Central Asia. Of the two, Brzezinski considers Russia to be the
more serious threat. Both nations border Central Asia. In a lesser
context he describes the Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Iran and Kazakhstan
as essential "lesser" nations that must be managed by the U.S. as
buffers or counterweights to Russian and Chinese moves to control
the oil, gas and minerals of the Central Asian Republics
(Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan).
He also notes, quite clearly (p.53) that any nation that might
become predominant in Central Asia would directly threaten the
current U.S. control of oil resources in the Persian Gulf. In
reading the book it becomes clear why the U.S. had a direct motive
for the looting of some $300 billion in Russian assets during the
1990s, destabilizing Russia's currency (1998) and ensuring that a
weakened Russia would have to look westward to Europe for economic
and political survival, rather than southward to Central Asia. A
dependent Russia would lack the military, economic and political
clout to exert influence in the region and this weakening of
Russia would explain why Russian President Vladimir Putin has been
such a willing ally of U.S. efforts to date. (See FTW Vol. IV, No.
1 - March 31, 2001)
An examination of selected quotes from "The Grand Chessboard," in
the context of current events reveals the darker agenda behind
military operations that were planned long before September 11th,
2001.
"The last decade of the twentieth century has witnessed a
tectonic shift in world affairs. For the first time ever, a
non-Eurasian power has emerged not only as a key arbiter of
Eurasian power relations but also as the world's paramount
power. The defeat and collapse of the Soviet Union was the
final step in the rapid ascendance of a Western Hemisphere
power, the United States, as the sole and, indeed, the first
truly global power. (p. xiii)
"But in the meantime, it is imperative that no Eurasian
challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus of
also challenging America. The formulation of a comprehensive
and integrated Eurasian geostrategy is therefore the purpose
of this book. (p. xiv)
"The attitude of the American public toward the external
projection of American power has been much more ambivalent.
The public supported America's engagement in World War II
largely because of the shock effect of the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor. (pp 24-5)
"For America, the chief geopolitical prize is Eurasia. Now a
non-Eurasian power is preeminent in Eurasia - and America's
global primacy is directly dependent on how long and how
effectively its preponderance on the Eurasian continent is
sustained. (p.30)
"America's withdrawal from the world or because of the sudden
emergence of a successful rival - would produce massive
international instability. It would prompt global anarchy."
(p.30)
"In that context, how America 'manages' Eurasia is critical.
Eurasia is the globe's largest continent and is geopolitically
axial. A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the
world's three most advanced and economically productive
regions. A mere glance at the map also suggests that control
over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa's
subordination, rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania
geopolitically peripheral to the world's central continent.
About 75 per cent of the world's people live in Eurasia, and
most of the world's physical wealth is there as well, both in
its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for
60 per cent of the world's GNP and about three-fourths of the
world's known energy resources." (p.31)
"Two basic steps are thus required: first, to identify the
geostrategically dynamic Eurasian states that have the power
to cause a potentially important shift in the international
distribution of power and to decipher the central external
goals of their respective political elites and the likely
consequences of their seeking to attain them;. second, to
formulate specific U.S. policies to offset, co-opt, and/or
control the above. (p.40)
"To put it in a terminology that harkens back to the more
brutal age of ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of
imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain
security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries
pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming
together." (p.40)
"Henceforth, the United States may have to determine how to
cope with regional coalitions that seek to push America out of
Eurasia, thereby threatening America's status as a global
power." (p.55)
"Uzbekistan - with its much more ethnically homogeneous
population of approximately 25 million and its leaders
emphasizing the country's historic glories - has become
increasingly assertive in affirming the region's new
postcolonial status." (p.95)
"Thus, even the ethnically vulnerable Kazakhstan joined the
other Central Asian states in abandoning the Cyrillic alphabet
and replacing it with Latin script as adapted earlier by
Turkey. In effect, by the mid-1990s a bloc, quietly led by
Ukraine and comprising Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan
and sometimes also Kazakhstan, Georgia and Moldova, had
informally emerged to obstruct Russian efforts to use the CIS
as the tool for political integration." (p.114)
"Hence, support for the new post-Soviet states - for
geopolitical pluralism in the space of the former Soviet
empire - has to be an integral part of a policy designed to
induce Russia to exercise unambiguously its European option.
Among these states. Three are geopolitically especially
important: Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Ukraine." (p. 121)
"Uzbekistan, nationally the most vital and the most populous
of the central Asian states, represents the major obstacle to
any renewed Russian control over the region. Its independence
is critical to the survival of the other Central Asian states,
and it is the least vulnerable to Russian pressures." (p.121)
Referring to an area he calls the "Eurasian Balkans" and a
1997 map in which he has circled the exact location of the
current conflict - describing it as the central region of
pending conflict for world dominance - Brzezinski writes:
"Moreover, they [the Central Asian Republics] are of
importance from the standpoint of security and historical
ambitions to at least three of their most immediate and more
powerful neighbors, namely Russia, Turkey and Iran, with China
also signaling an increasing political interest in the region.
But the Eurasian Balkans are infinitely more important as a
potential economic prize: an enormous concentration of natural
gas and oil reserves is located in the region, in addition to
important minerals, including gold." (p.124) [Emphasis added]
The world's energy consumption is bound to vastly increase
over the next two or three decades. Estimates by the U.S.
Department of energy anticipate that world demand will rise by
more than 50 percent between 1993 and 2015, with the most
significant increase in consumption occurring in the Far East.
The momentum of Asia's economic development is already
generating massive pressures for the exploration and
exploitation of new sources of energy and the Central Asian
region and the Caspian Sea basin are known to contain reserves
of natural gas and oil that dwarf those of Kuwait, the Gulf of
Mexico, or the North Sea." (p.125)
"Kazakhstan is the shield and Uzbekistan is the soul for the
region's diverse national awakenings." (p.130)
"Uzbekistan is, in fact, the prime candidate for regional
leadership in Central Asia." (p.130)
"Once pipelines to the area have been developed,
Turkmenistan's truly vast natural gas reserves augur a
prosperous future for the country's people. (p.132)
"In fact, an Islamic revival - already abetted from the
outside not only by Iran but also by Saudi Arabia - is likely
to become the mobilizing impulse for the increasingly
pervasive new nationalisms, determined to oppose any
reintegration under Russian - and hence infidel - control."
(p.133).
"For Pakistan, the primary interest is to gain Geostrategic
depth through political influence in Afghanistan - and to deny
to Iran the exercise of such influence in Afghanistan and
Tajikistan - and to benefit eventually from any pipeline
construction linking Central Asia with the Arabian Sea."
(p.139)
"Moreover, sensible Russian leaders realize that the
demographic explosion underway in the new states means that
their failure to sustain economic growth will eventually
create an explosive situation along Russia's entire southern
frontier."
(p.141) [This would explain why Putin would welcome U.S.
military presence to stabilize the region.]
"Turkmenistan. has been actively exploring the construction of
a new pipeline through Afghanistan and Pakistan to the Arabian
Sea." (p.145)
"It follows that America's primary interest is to help ensure
that no single power comes to control this geopolitical space
and that the global community has unhindered financial and
economic access to it." (p148)
"China's growing economic presence in the region and its
political stake in the area's independence are also congruent
with America's interests." (p.149)
"America is now the only global superpower, and Eurasia is the
globe's central arena. Hence, what happens to the distribution
of power on the Eurasian continent will be of decisive
importance to America's global primacy and to America's
historical legacy." (p.194)
"the Eurasian Balkans - threatens to become a cauldron of
ethnic conflict and great-power rivalry." (p.195)
"Without sustained and directed American involvement, before
long the forces of global disorder could come to dominate the
world scene. And the possibility of such a fragmentation is
inherent in the geopolitical tensions not only of today's
Eurasia but of the world more generally." (p.194)
"With warning signs on the horizon across Europe and Asia, any
successful American policy must focus on Eurasia as a whole
and be guided by a Geostrategic design." (p.197)
"That puts a premium on maneuver and manipulation in order to
prevent the emergence of a hostile coalition that could
eventually seek to challenge America's primacy." (p.198)
"The most immediate task is to make certain that no state or
combination of states gains the capacity to expel the United
States from Eurasia or even to diminish significantly its
decisive arbitration role." (p.198)
"In the long run, global politics are bound to become
increasingly uncongenial to the concentration of hegemonic
power in the hands of a single state. Hence, America is not
only the first, as well as the only, truly global superpower,
but it is also likely to be the very last." (p.209)
"Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural
society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus
on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a
truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat."
(p.211) [Emphasis added] The Horror - And Comments
From Someone Who Worked With Brzezinski
Brzezinski's book is sublimely arrogant. While singing the praises
of the IMF and the World Bank, which have economically terrorized
nations on every continent, and while totally ignoring the
worldwide terrorist actions of the U.S. government that have led
to genocide; cluster bombings of civilian populations from Kosovo,
to Laos, to Iraq, to Afghanistan; the development and battlefield
use of both biological and chemical agents such as Sarin gas; and
the financial rape of entire cultures it would leave the reader
believing that such actions are for the good of mankind.
While seconded from the German defense ministry to NATO in the
late 1970s, Dr. Johannes Koeppl - mentioned at the top of this
article - traveled to Washington on more than one occasion. He
also met with Brzezinski in the White House on more than one
occasion. His other Washington contacts included Steve Larabee
from the CFR, John J. McCloy, former CIA Director, economist
Milton Friedman, and officials from Carter's Office of Management
and Budget. He is the first person I have ever interviewed who has
made a direct presentation at a Bliderberger conference and he has
also made numerous presentations to sub-groups of the Trilateral
Commission. That was before he spoke out against them.
His fall from grace was rapid after he realized that Brzezinski
was part of a group intending to impose a world dictatorship. "In
1983/4 I warned of a take-over of world governments being
orchestrated by these people. There was an obvious plan to subvert
true democracies and selected leaders were not being chosen based
upon character but upon their loyalty to an economic system run by
the elites and dedicated to preserving their power.
"All we have now are pseudo-democracies."
Koeppl recalls meeting U.S. Congressman Larry McDonald in
Nuremburg in the early 80s. McDonald, who was then contemplating a
run for the Presidency, was a severe critic of these elites. He
was killed in the Russian shootdown of Korean Air flight 007 in
1985. Koeppl believes that it might have been an assassination.
Over the years many writers have made these allegations about 007
and the fact that someone with Koeppl's credentials believes that
an entire plane full of passengers would be destroyed to eliminate
one man offers a chilling opinion of the value placed on human
life by the powers that be.
In 1983, Koeppl warned, through Op-Ed pieces published in NEWSWEEK
and elsewhere, that Brzezinski and the CFR were part of an effort
to impose a global dictatorship. His fall from grace was swift.
"It was a criminal society that I was dealing with. It was not
possible to publish anymore in the so-called respected
publications. My 30 year career in politics ended.
"The people of the western world have been trained to be good
consumers; to focus on money, sports cars, beauty, consumer goods.
They have not been trained to look for character in people.
Therefore what we need is education for politicians, a form of
training that instills in them a higher sense of ethics than
service to money. There is no training now for world leaders. This
is a shame because of the responsibility that leaders hold to
benefit all mankind rather than to blindly pursue destructive
paths.
"We also need education for citizens to be more efficient in their
democracies, in addition to education for politicians that will
create a new network of elites based upon character and social
intelligence."
Koeppl, who wrote his 1989 doctoral thesis on NATO management,
also authored a 1989 book - largely ignored because of its
controversial revelations - entitled "The Most Important Secrets
in the World." He maintains a German language web site
atwww.antaris.com and he can be reached by email
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
As to the present conflict Koeppl expressed the gravest concerns,
"This is more than a war against terrorism. This is a war against
the citizens of all countries. The current elites are creating so
much fear that people don't know how to respond. But they must
remember. This is a move to implement a world dictatorship within
the next five years. There may not be another chance."
