At best, Russian politics are murky, but a pattern is
unfolding that reveals a nation that is increasingly desperate and
dangerous. It starts with overwhelming evidence that the entire collapse
of the Soviet Union was planned by the KGB.
Russian analyst Jeff Nyquist details in September’s Dispatches
magazine how the KGB knew that the Soviet system could not survive under
its existing economic and social structure. The West was rapidly
outstripping them in civilian and military high technology, and the KGB
understood they were destined to lose the Cold War.
In his 1984 book, New Lies for Old, KGB defector
Anatoliy Golitsyn not only warned of the fake collapse of the Soviet Union
years before it happened, but also warned that their would be a new
military alliance with China during the final phase of the plan around
1999! Along with Gen. Jan Sejna, a high ranking Czech defector who
provided similar warnings in his 1982 book, We Will Bury You,
Golitsyn warned that the entire KGB effort was to be a grand deception to
first disarm the West by faking the Soviet collapse, then to steal the
West’s technology and money, and finally, to use it to destroy the West.
The plan was designed by KGB Chairman Yuri Andropov. An
October, 1999 report by Stratfor Intelligence Service revealed that,
"During the early 1980s plans were laid [by the KGB] to
restructure economic relations with the West, through perestroika, and
politically, through glasnost." The KGB trained a cadre of new
reformers to be in positions of power, ready to take over when the KGB
precipitated the collapse of the Soviet Union to a supposedly more market
based economy. Mikhail Gorbachev, one of Andropov’s students, was tapped
to implement the plan in the late 1980s.
While the West has been elated over the collapse of the
Soviet Union, "the old regime’s politicians, bureaucracy and
attitudes remained intact," states the Stratfor Report. "In
this way Russia could capture foreign direct investment and the willing
transfer of technology — all while maintaining the Communist Party’s
grip on power.... By 1986, KGB officers and Komsomol officials were
building the new economic infrastructure—banks, trading companies, stock
and currency exchanges, and corporate shells—that were to attract and
exploit Western investment."
The KGB temporarily lost control of perestroika and
glasnost in the vacuum immediately following the collapse of the Soviet
Union. Led by Boris Yeltsin and supported by the emerging banking Mafia
that was originally created by the KGB, this rogue group of extreme
reformers caught the favor of the Russian people and were swept into
power.
The rogue bankers became known as the Family, who
successfully dazzled Western investors and the International Monetary Fund
(IMF) into investing and loaning Russia huge sums of money which was
immediately siphoned off into private Swiss accounts or secretly
redirected to Russia’s war machine. Russia was plunged into total
corruption, and the Russian economy pillaged until it became an empty
shell by 1996.
At the same time, according to the Stratfor Report, the
KGB maintained control of the Russian treasury. Although still unclear, it
seems likely that the KGB laundered Russia’s precious metals and cash,
and at least some of the foreign investments through KGB-infiltrated banks
in Europe and America. Vladimir Putin, now Prime Minister of Russia, was
at the center of this effort.
The Family began to crumble as the rampant corruption
was exposed. Russia appears looted and dispirited. Its visible physical
plant is aging, it has little heavy industry other than that which is
military oriented, and only a little investment. The IMF knows that Russia
is now an empty shell with no chance of repaying its loan. The IMF is now
playing a game of illusion, propping up the economy with additional loans
to keep Russia from defaulting again while they try to figure out what to
do. Boris Yeltsin’s primary purpose seems to be keeping this illusion
alive.
The KGB is now regaining control. But control of what?
In spite of its poverty, Russia has continued to build new
state-of-the-art submarines, airplanes, and nuclear missiles, using
technology either stolen from the U.S. or given to it by President
Clinton. How? In the October issue of Dispatches magazine, Nyquist
states, "what Western observers constantly miss is the fact that
there are two Russias—the broken-down exterior of Cold War fame, and the
clandestine apparatus that spits out Topol-M ICBMs, ultra-quiet attack
submarines, and state-of-the-art fighter aircraft."
Since the start of the bombing of Kosovo, Russia has
begun to seriously mobilize for war—far in excess of what is necessary
to put down Chechnya. It has created military alliances with China and
Korea, who are also experiencing severe political and economic problems,
and who are also mobilizing for war.
Russia’s complex plot of carefully planned deception
appears to be culminating. But to what end? Every evidence points to war
with the West. Pray that this does not happen, but prepare yourself
spiritually and emotionally to be used by God if it does. V
