Global Chariot? Look around, modern techno-industrial civilization is collapsing, on multiple fronts. While folks love to quibble and speculate about who will rule, win, loose they totally ignore the very conditions of their habitat, ecosystem and what all of the near term future. Ecologically Insane Species shall we call ourselves? Hence, big deal if it’s a bunch of Russians or Chinese or X. It is GAME OVER or better known as COLLAPSE. What a global gutted chariot of vicious power, ah…..

Well said. It's merely imploding unevenly, all parts (being based on the same basic narratives, the underlying reason for their apparent synchronicity) will be reached in due course.

Russia knows it’s imploding on itself, so that’s why it invaded Ukraine.

In 1984 a KGB defector published a book under the title "New Lies for Old." It was a book that predicted, in amazing detail, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the "death of Communism." But this book warned that the whole thing would be an elaborate deception effected by secret Communist structures. False dissidents and false democratic fronts were decades in the making. Managed from behind the scenes by the KGB and other Communist organizations, none of these democratic fronts would be trustworthy. Democracy would appear to triumph in the Communist east, yet totalitarianism would remain.

"The dialectic of this offensive," wrote KGB Major Anatoliy Golitsyn, "consists of a calculated shift from the old, discredited Soviet practice to a new, 'liberalized' model, with a social democratic facade, to realize the communist planners' strategy for establishing a United Europe." Golitsyn predicted that the Communists would launch "a variation of the 1968 Czechoslovakian 'democratization.' At a later phase," added Golitsyn, "they will shift to a variation of the Czechoslovakian takeover of 1948."

But instead of one country falling, all of Europe would be taken. It would be the ultimate reversal, accomplished by strategic deception and disinformation. Today, in 2002, nearly everyone accepts the changes the Communist Bloc as genuine. In fact, Golitsyn's predictions were ridiculed even as they were coming to pass. And now we look to the East and see the Czech Republic, a member of Nato, a member of the "democratic club." But something is wrong. We discover testimony that confirms Golitsyn's predictions. There are voices in the East -- voices that have been systematically ignored in the West -- that tell us of false democracy and hidden totalitarian structures. https://archive.org/details/golitsyn-anatoliy-perestroika-deception-1998.

Petr Cibulka -JRN: Mr. Cibulka, here in America people are unaware of conditions in Central Europe. Perhaps you could explain what has happened since the so-called "collapse of communism." Is the Czech Republic a free country, and are the communists out of power?

Cibulka: Changes in Eastern Europe in 1988-89 were not anticommunist revolutions. In fact they were privatization coups organized by the reform wing of KGB-GRU. Everything of value in these Eastern Bloc countries ended up in communist KGB hands. Banks, companies and factories, mass media, land etc. Visible communist criminals used privatization to transfer all the previously state owned wealth into the hands of non-visible communist criminals working for the communist secret services, especially from the (still secret) military and civil espionage sections -- fighting to this day against the West and the United States of America. Structures and profiles of these sections have not been published to this day.

JRN: Why was Czechoslovakia broken up into two states? Was there some kind of tactical advantage in this for the communists?

Cibulka: Slovakia is closer to Russia than the Czech Republic. Anticommunism and anti-Sovietism are much weaker in Slovakia. Moreover, the voters voted for Prime Minister Meciar to stay in power and he is openly pro-Russian. But most of all he is known -- and proved to be -- a former communist STB spy, codenamed "Doctor."

JRN: Do you think that secret communist structures, in control of the Czech state from behind the scenes, are working with Moscow? If so, what evidence do you have to make a case?

Cibulka: Absolutely! The people in power in the Czech Republic over the course of the last 12 years are connected to the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, the communist secret services -- military and civil as well. Privatizations of the formerly state owned property and assets were organized solely by these people. That includes communists, secret service STB members, members of the communist army and communist SS "people's militia." In the 12 years since the so-called "Velvet Revolution" not one KGB-GRU spy has been apprehended, discovered or arrested. No communist criminals were sentenced to jail by the courts for crimes against the people of this country; to point up one example, the former communist prime minister, Lubomir Strougal, was acquitted of murder despite two victims attributable to him. This is a fresh example of the political disarray that exists in the Czech Republic under the "blind eye" of president Havel. He was the one that proposed judicial continuity with the previous communist regime and therefore the prosecution of Strougal as a criminal was therefore impossible -- legally! Hundreds of thousands of crimes committed by the communists over the years have not been punished to this day in the Czech Republic!

JRN: Do you think there is any danger of an open return to totalitarianism in your country?

Cibulka: Communists and their cronies can rule in Europe without a brutal totalitarian regime. Their new "humanist" totalitarianism is working in a satisfactory manner. It signifies a political system where people in power can never be defeated, it signifies a system founded on parliamentary democracy and crafty discriminatory election laws helping only the ones in power to stay in it as long as possible. This election system disqualifies the political competition -- with the help of financial and administrative obstacles. In other words, it effectively blocks all the political parties that would enter this closed circle from the outside and take power from those in government positions.

The mass media and all political power are in the hands of communist mafia structures. These structures have the same monopoly in banking as they do in the economy as a whole. Most energy, communications and transportation companies are in the hands of the same old communists. Their power is therefore absolute, but a return to more traditional communist dictatorship is not imminent in my opinion as long as these people's hold on power is not endangered.

“The mass media and all political power are in the hands of the communist mafia structures”.

Change the word “communist” into “global”, and you have the situation in the West. And, as Douglas Reed wrote long ago: “And similar man, with common aims, rule in both camps”.

Substantiates what I have thought all along! The illusion is a savior and the reality is there's one predator control freak you call Glafia.
