Friends, Thanks to Dan Nordin for sending in this very interesting report on the current global balance of power. In my in-progress chapter, "The Story of America", I present a picture of a more-or-less total US global hegemony. If Mr. Vialls' report is correct, my perspective will need to be adjusted. According to Vialls, Russia and China have together managed to block the further implementation of the the agenda of the New American Century. Both nations have large deployments of Sunburn missiles, a nuclear tipped cruise missile of very advanced design -- all but unstoppable by any existing defense system. The two nations seem to be coordinating their strategic activities, and have between them deployed sufficient Sunburn systems to stalemate US plans regarding Caspian oil and North Korea, and Israeli plans regarding Iran and Syria. What this amounts to, if true, is a scenario which is an order of magnitude more dangerous and foreboding than the often celebrated Cuban Missile Crisis. In that earlier crisis, although Armageddon was a possible outcome, there wasn't really any issue worth fighting about for either side. It was peacetime, so to speak, and both parties had every desire to keep the mutual-deterrence system intact. The crisis amounted to a game of chicken, where the two parties tested how far they could push the other toward the ropes, without anyone drawing blood. Afterwards, everyone shook hands and upgraded their fail-safe procedures. The current scenario is much more volatile. For one thing, it is not a peacetime scenario. The US is at war. It has invaded and occupied two nations, has deployed many more troops than it can afford to sustain for long, and the conflicts are escalating. In addition, Washington has made it clear that more invasions are planned. In this regard, the relevant historical precedent might be the time of the Munich Conference, when Britain & France chose appeasement rather than face engagement with the German military machine. Today it is Washington out to conquer the world rather than Berlin. And it is Russia & China, rather than Britain & France, who find themselves in the position where only they have the capability to do anything to stop the aggressor. It seems that this time a firm stand is being taken. It is not surprising that Russia and China have learned the lesson that appeasement doesn't work. It is those nations who suffered the greatest casualties in the earlier scenario. Twenty million dead in the Soviet Union alone in WW II. I return to the Cuban Crisis comparison because that, like today, was a confrontation between the US and the Eastern Block. Except the Eastern Block is very different today. My sense is that the Eastern Block -- absent its former ideological narrowness -- is today a more formidable opponent than it was in Cold War days. It's more flexible, more opportunistic, less dogmatic, less prone to fatal splits in its own ranks. It's also a lot more knowledgeable of the West, and has learned and practiced the ways of the West for some time in its efforts to participate in the global economy. Also, the evolution of modern weapons has leveled the playing field a bit. A cruise missile is a relatively cheap and simple device, compared to an ICBM, yet it packs a comparable wallop with greater reliability. And if deployed in the right places it has less need for lead-time warning and a quicker time-to-target. It's the strategic analog of one particular tactical weapon --the hand-held stinger missile, a great leveller, as was the pike in its day. I must warn you about Vialls' article. It wouldn't be fair to call him an anti-Semite, but he seems to be bordering on it. Let's just say he's a strong anti-Zionist, and a bit passionate about it. I don't endorse his attitude --although I strongly oppose the current Israeli regime -- and I find his language distasteful and offensive at times. But it's not so bad that I'll refuse to publish it, as I have refused many other pieces for exhibiting excessive hatred and racism. I publish the material in spite of the author's attitude because of the amazing content. It reveals to us, if true, a momentous historical confrontation -- a confrontation which shows up in the cave of the media matrix only as dim shadows on the wall. read at your own risk, rkm -------------------------------------------------------- Delivered-To: •••@••.••• From: "dnordin" <•••@••.•••> Subject: Fw: more news not on mainstream media Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 09:53:33 -0800 X-Priority: 3 ---------- From: Eva Lyman <•••@••.•••> To: dnordin <•••@••.•••> Subject: more news not on mainstream media Date: Monday, November 17, 2003 9:53 PM Russia Ready to Vaporize the Jewish State And then kick America out of the Eastern Hemisphere's oilfields Copyright Joe Vialls, 28 October 2003 •••@••.••• Israeli Dolphin Class attack submarines, unwittingly provided free-of-charge by German taxpayers "When the end finally comes for Israel, it will all be over in microseconds. Flying faster than rifle bullets, the Sunburns will approach Tel Aviv and Haifa at twice the speed of sound, detonating in blinding white 200 Kiloton flashes designed to instantly transform animal vegetable and mineral into heat and light." During the Cold War of the sixties, the only thing stopping American or Russian psychopaths from taking over the entire world was the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction [MAD], where a multiple ICBM launch by America on Russia or vice versa, would automatically lead to a "doomsday" response by the nation under attack. Mutual destruction of both America and Russia was thereby guaranteed, resulting in nearly thirty years of unprecedented peace and quiet, caused solely by mutual nuclear fear. About one month ago, Russia discreetly invoked MAD again, but this time in the Middle East in direct response to hysterical Israeli threats to nuke Iran with submarine-launched American Harpoon missiles. Quietly and with the minimum of fuss, Russia deployed its most advanced tactical nuclear missiles and crews to both Syria and Iran, thereby sending an unmistakable diplomatic signal that if Israel attacked Tehran or Damascus with nuclear weapons, Russia would in return instantly and anonymously vaporize the Jewish State. This is not an idle or exaggerated threat. The Russian missile type deployed in Syria and Iran is the P270 Moskit [Mosquito], known in NATO circles as the SS-N-22 "Sunburn", once described by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher as "the most dangerous anti-ship missile in the Russian, and now the Chinese, fleet." The ship borne version of this missile is launched from deck mounted quad tubes, but since Rohrabacher made his comments, Russia has adapted the Sunburn for submerged launch from submarines, air launch from Sukhoi 27s, and single surface launch from modified 40' flatbed trucks. Nowadays, western defense experts unambiguously view all versions of Sunburn as the "most dangerous missiles in the world". Mach 2.2 Moskit [SS-N-22 Sunburn] Missile To see exactly how the Zionists drove us to this nuclear flash point, it is necessary to go back a few years to discover how the Jewish State managed to acquire sophisticated German submarine launch platforms, and American nuclear-tipped Harpoon missiles, thereby allowing a bunch of psychotic religious crazies in Tel Aviv to bring the Middle East, and perhaps the entire world, to the very brink of thermonuclear war. Around 1989 Israel was trying to replace its obsolescent Gal-class submarine fleet, while simultaneously whining that it didn't have the funds to do so. Predictably perhaps, the Jewish State was looking for a free hand out. Having failed to extract these big-ticket items as gifts from America, in 1991 Israel turned its sights on Germany, perpetually in moral debt to the Zionists because of the brilliantly managed and highly successful holocaust industry. After a pathetically short period of Zionist arm wrestling in Berlin, Germany caved-in and agreed to build and provide the first two Dolphin class submarines free of charge, and extend a loan to Israel for the third. Naturally this loan was never repaid, meaning that German taxpayers had unwittingly funded Israel's entire submarine fleet, custom-designed to launch nuclear-tipped missiles from specially designed torpedo tubes. Obtaining the deadly American Harpoon missiles was relatively easy. For decades American taxpayers have unwittingly provided the Jewish State with enough free "expendable" munitions to crush the Palestinian people in their own country, and the Harpoon missile is classed as an expendable munition. What this means is that Harpoon falls into the same generic category as rifle bullets and hand grenades, so Washington went ahead and gifted the Jewish State with more than fifty nuclear-capable Harpoons. The nuclear warheads for these missiles can be either American or homegrown Dimona products, but no matter which, Israel had to make it known that the nuclear capability was real, for there is no point making a nuclear threat if you cannot back it up with real nuclear muscle. This was achieved by leaking the information through high profile Israeli media assets, who initially plastered the information all over the Internet. This completed stage one of the exercise, which then had to be swiftly followed by a quasi-official statement of absolute deniability. Think about this one carefully people, think about it very carefully. If Damascus or Tehran should suddenly turn into heat and light any time soon, the Israelis will instantly get the blame, in the first place because of their leaked high-profile threats, and secondly because of their known hatred of anything even remotely related to Islam or Arabs. We did not have very long to wait for this "on the record" deniability statement, which was issued less than 24-hours after the initial threats. Former Israeli deputy defence minister Efraim Sneh claimed on Army Radio that, "Anyone with even the slightest understanding of missiles knows that the Harpoon can never be used to carry nuclear warheads". This was swiftly reinforced by Ted Hooton, editor of Jane's Naval Weapon Systems in London, who agreed with Sneh's assessment, saying problems with payload weight would put the Harpoon out of balance, limiting its range and accuracy, "It seems to me that a nuclear weapon, which is extremely dense, would make the Harpoon nose heavy and significantly reduce its range - in any event well below the (150 kilometers) it is designed for," he said. While many might doubt the authenticity of Sneh's claim, who would dare question the measured opinion of Jane's, widely touted as the most authoritative military publication on earth? Unfortunately Jane's appears to have made a terrible error, because Hooton's claim is the exact opposite of reality. Harpoon normally carries a 215-pound conventional explosive charge in its warhead, which can easily be replaced by a 99.2-pound nuclear device, which then needs additional ballast to balance the missile in flight! Rest assured that the American-Israeli Harpoons are nuclear, and the Zionists have every intention of using them on Tehran and Damascus if they think they can get away with it. Dangerous people do dangerous things in dangerous times, and there is nothing more dangerous that a pack of religious fanatics with their backs to the Mediterranean, facing the imminent destruction of Zion. The Israeli economy is in tatters, Jewish migrants are fleeing Israel in droves, and the Zionist host [America] is fast running out of spare cash and free weapons. Russia has known all about Israel's nuclear forward planning for many months, and the only question the Kremlin faced was which deterrent to pull out of its vast nuclear arsenal and deploy in the Middle East. At the same time, Russia was equally determined to send very strong signals to America: signals also designed to make the Zionist crusaders think long and hard before they took any more aggressive action against the former Soviet republics and North Korea. Deterrent choice for the Middle East was easy, because the Russians already knew the Americans were frightened of the SS-N-22, which the U.S. Navy actually tried to purchase from the Russian Navy in September 1995. In a letter reproduced at the bottom of this page, Vice Admiral Bowes wrote to Russian Commander in Chief Admiral Gromov, "I appreciate the opportunity to convey to you the United States Navy's interest in acquiring all variants of the SS-N-22 'Sunburn' Anti-Ship Supersonic Ship-to-Ship missile for test and evaluation". America's naked fear of this unstoppable weapon was thus laid bare, but Russia predictably refused to sell. If the Israelis decide to nuke Tehran or Damascus there is little doubt that some of their Harpoon missiles will get through, though probably only because of the element of surprise. The American-Israeli Harpoon is still vulnerable to defensive systems because it is a relatively old subsonic missile, powered by a small Teledyne turbofan engine. Detectable by radar, cruising relatively high at around 300 feet altitude, and with a range of only 65 miles, the Harpoon can be terminated by one of many different point defense systems. But regardless of these notable shortcomings, and as previously stated, some will reach their targets in Damascus or Tehran. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is when the real fireworks will start. Within seconds the tarpaulins will be thrown back on a number of 40' flatbed trucks currently dispersed in classified locations, revealing the dull metal of the 37' Sunburn launch tubes within. While the hydraulic stabilizer jacks slam into the ground and the launch tubes elevate to the firing position, Russian artillery specialists will confirm the pre-programmed target coordinates, then defer to central command fire control, at the same time retaining unit "dead man" authority to fire on bypass if absolutely necessary. Each Sunburn will hurtle out of its launcher riding on the white-hot tail of a booster rocket, while its special ramjet lights and cycles up to full thrust. Then rapidly sinking back to an undetectable cruising altitude of approximately 60 feet, each missile will accelerate to Mach 2.2 [1,520 mph] in less than 30 seconds, with a total flight time from Damascus to Tel Aviv of around three minutes. When the end finally comes for Israel, it will all be over in microseconds. Flying faster than rifle bullets, the Sunburns will approach Tel Aviv and Haifa at twice the speed of sound, detonating in blinding white 200 Kiloton flashes designed to instantly transform animal vegetable and mineral into heat and light. If I was an Israeli general facing this doomsday response on my wife, my family and my synagogue, I would not launch any Harpoons at all, but then I am not a religious fanatic obsessed with killing Muslims and stealing their land. Unfortunately, reading the minds of certifiable lunatics is all but impossible, so the best I can suggest is that perhaps the Israelis will launch, and perhaps they will not. Worst of all for the Zionists left alive in Washington and New York, is that if the Russians are obliged to launch their counter-strike against Israel, it will be one-hundred-percent deniable. Unlike Israel and its public threats to nuke Iran, Russia has not threatened anyone at all. Because Sunburn flies below the horizon it cannot be detected or logged by radar, and a 200-kiloton hole in the middle of Tel Aviv will yield no clues. Very likely the Russians will copy the Americans, and blame a fictional "rogue state" like Iran, Pakistan or North Korea. The Sunburns deployed in Syria and Iran are not the only ones currently giving the Zionists recurring nightmares. Although the Russians refused to sell any SS-N-22s to Vice Admiral Bowes in 1995, they later made a very public sale of more than 100 Sunburns to the Chinese, who mounted them on frigates and corvettes, which they stationed near Taiwan. Thus by 2001, both the Russian and Chinese Pacific Fleets were fully equipped with 200+ Sunburns, each and every one of them easily capable of sinking an American aircraft carrier. Ever since the illegal invasion of Iraq by America earlier this year , Russia has deliberately sent a number of unmistakably harsh diplomatic signals that the days of the Zionist crusaders are numbered, especially in the mid and far east, but predictably all of these signals have been deliberately suppressed by the western media. Russia's bottom line is completely neutralizing America and Israeli in the Eastern Hemisphere, thereby preventing the U.S. from stealing Eurasia's strategic oil reserves. In late May while the illegal invasion of Iraq was in full swing, a small Russian fleet deployed to the Indian Ocean, uncomfortably close to American carrier battle groups transiting in an out of the Persian Gulf. This exercise, the first held by Russia in the Indian Ocean for more than ten years, was extremely uncomfortable for the American commanders, who knew that five of the Russian vessels, including three submarines, were fully equipped with nuclear-capable Sunburn missiles. The diplomatic signal in the Indian Ocean was blatantly obvious. Though numerically inferior to the American fleet, the Russians had more than enough unstoppable firepower to win any sea battle outright. Billion-dollar American aircraft carriers became obsolete monoliths that day, as did America's arrogant ability to roam the oceans of the world attacking smaller sovereign nations on Zionist orders. If America pushed too hard in Russian or Chinese spheres of influence, a 93,000-ton American aircraft carrier might "spontaneously" fireball in mid-ocean; in reality removed from the face of the earth by an unheard and unseen Sunburn missile, launched by a submerged Russian submarine more than fifty miles away. In August and September 2003, the Russian and Chinese navies held large independent exercises in the Pacific, both coincidentally designed to, "Simulate sinking aggressive American carrier battle groups". No prizes for guessing the name of the principal weapon system selected for this challenging task. During September, the Chinese missile destroyer "Fuzhou" fired a Sunburn with a practice warhead, which high-speed cameras then recorded striking the center of the white cross on the hull of the target vessel, located more than 60 nautical miles away from the firing point. Terminal attack profile was Mach 2.05 at an altitude of 22 feet. These exercises took place while the Zionist media was hyping up public opinion against that nasty "Rogue State" North Korea, allegedly brimming with fictional "Weapons of Mass Destruction" being manufactured specifically for sale to Iran, or so you were led to believe by CNN, NBC, Fox News and many others. In turn, Iran was allegedly itching to mount the fictional weapons on multiple launchers, then fire the lot at poor little Israel, all alone and unarmed at the eastern end of the Mediterranean. Plans were made to intercept Korean ships on the high seas for inspection, and Australia obsequiously offered to send a gunboat. But then Australia always offers to send a gunboat when a lowly clerk in the White House snaps his or her fingers. Those readers with long memories will recall that the Korean War of the fifties was all about spheres of influence. In other words the Korean War was a surrogate war, with America and Britain backing the south while Russia and China backed the north. Though sixty years have passed since the end of the Korean War, this proxy position has not changed, and North Korea is still viewed by Russia and China as firmly within their spheres of influence. Thus the diplomatic signal generated by the large Russian and Chinese naval exercises was clear and unambiguous: "Hands off North Korea, or else!" Within days of the Chinese Sunburn launch, which was observed and logged by two American spy planes, Washington went uncharacteristically quiet about the Korean peninsula, and remains so today. Perhaps for the first time in contemporary American history, Washington was being forced to come to grips with a new and very harsh reality. Though the United States was allowed [in fact discreetly encouraged] to become horribly bogged down in Afghanistan and Iraq, it was no longer allowed to interfere anywhere else in the world. Massive American aircraft carriers were no longer free to roam around looking for helpless prey, and Russia or China, sometimes both in tandem, started riding shotgun on all American adventures in the Eastern Hemisphere. Effectively denied sea [and most land] access to the Eastern Hemisphere, it was not long before the Zionists decided to play what they thought was their trump card, declaring that their absolute right of self-defence allowed them to launch Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles [ICBMs] of sixties vintage, against "terrorist targets" on the other side of the world. Though such weapons might appear to have the advantage of not needing direct sea or land access in the Eastern Hemisphere, this twisted Zionist thinking was quickly proved to be panicky and entirely delusional. On 17 October 2003, Russian President Vladimir Putin responded to this crude threat, pointing out that although Russia had scrapped hundreds of its ICBMs under various disarmament treaties, it still has a "significant amount" of SS-19 intercontinental ballistic missiles that had never been previously deployed, and thus were not part of disarmament negotiations, which remain mothballed for emergency use. "These are the most powerful rockets in the world", Putin said, adding they would be the perfect weapons for breaking through any potential American missile defense shield. Unconfirmed rumor suggests that Russia has a minimum of two hundred unused SS-19s in storage. Within 48-hours of this stern Russian warning, frantic Zionist talk of firing ICBMs at "terrorist targets" in the Eastern Hemisphere became muted, then stopped completely. Just one week later on 24 October, President Putin redefined the limits of American access in the Eastern Hemisphere when he opened a new Russian air base at Kant in Kyrgyzstan, just twenty miles to the east of a rented American base at Manas, used for supporting "counter terrorist" operations in Afghanistan. And while a squadron of cutting-edge Russian Sukhoi 27 multi-role aircraft screamed overhead performing complex aerobatics at the opening ceremony, the Chinese quietly moved a squadron of their own Sukhoi 27s up to Kashi air base, which is the closest airfield to their own border with Kyrgyzstan. Completely coincidental timing of course, and anyone who suggests otherwise will be labeled a "conspiracy theorist" by CNN, NBC, Fox News and many others. Appreciating that his opposite number in America is intellectually challenged, Vladimir Putin said a few words at the opening ceremony designed to be catchy enough to reach the frontal lobes of President Bush's brain: "By building up an aviation shield in Kyrgyzstan", he said, "we aim to strengthen the security of this region, whose stability is an increasingly significant factor." Vladimir Putin went on to emphasize that Kant air base was now, "a deterrent for terrorists and extremists of ALL kinds". A master of understatement, Putin failed to mention that the Sukhoi 27s assigned to Kant, and landing on the runway in front of him as he spoke, were all equipped with distinctive Sunburn centerline mounts. Presumably the Chinese jets at Kashi are similarly equipped. The gloves were off, and with America and Israel still unable to steal any oil from Iraq because someone keeps blowing the pipelines, this Russian and Chinese firepower buildup suddenly slammed the door firmly shut on Caspian oil reserves in the old Soviet republics. For more than a decade American oil multinationals have been conducting "joint ventures" in the former Soviet republics bordering the Caspian Sea, with the stated intent of pumping this stolen crude oil out through Turkey, then on to western markets. Now this route has been blocked permanently, and America is in no position to do anything about it, because a large part of the U.S. conventional army is currently bogged down in Iraq, being shot at and killed on a daily basis. In terms of protecting Eastern Hemisphere oil reserves from the Zionist crusaders, Russia still had one more hurdle to clear, in the form of Moscow-based Zionist Jew Mikhail Khodorkovsky. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Khodorkovsky acted as the principal Zionist front man, grabbing cheap oil assets in rigged auctions. In 1995 he pulled the same trick again, rigging an auction at which he paid a mere $200 million for Yukos, a Russian oil major worth at least $14 billon. Control of Yukos made Khodorkovsky very dangerous to Russian national security, because the company controls nearly two thirds of Russia's strategic oil pipelines, including most of those feeding Eastern Europe. Russia is now the second-largest oil producer in the world, and Khodorkovsky's actions prove he intended to exploit this, by selling 51% of Yukos to ExxonMobil, America's largest oil multinational. In turn, this would have placed Russian crude oil reserves under direct Zionist control, a situation the Kremlin was not prepared to tolerate. Mikhail Khodorkovsky was arrested while en-route to the Russian Far East, though rumor suggests he knew about the plan to arrest him, and actually intended to flee the country via Vladivostok. A spokesman for Yukos said that government security agents rushed Khodorkovsky's private jet at 5am on Saturday during a refuelling stop in Siberia, shouting, "Weapons on the floor or we'll shoot." Khodorkovsky initially faces seven charges including fraud and tax evasion, with possible [consecutive] jail sentences of up to forty years. It could get far worse if prosecutors add the charge of treason, for undermining Russian national security. Within hours of Khodorkovsky's arrest, the Zionist media went berserk, stating that the arrest would "damage investor confidence" in Russia, and further claiming that, "without new investors, Russia will be in big economic trouble". This is garbage, because Russia is now the second largest producer of oil in the world, and has eager buyers for all of its oil products. About the last thing Russia needs or wants today, is a pack of Zionist "investors" trying to skim their traditional 10% off Russia's oil profits. In slightly more than a single decade, Russia 's fortunes have come full circle. Back in 1989, General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev sold Russia and its peoples to the Zionists in return for two gold American Express cards and unlimited free shopping for his wife on Fifth Avenue. During the years that followed, Russians underwent almost unbelievable hardships, with old age pensions vanishing into thin air [or into a New York Zionist bank], and starvation became quite common in the provinces. Russians fared no better under "democratic" Boris Yeltsin, but Vladimir Putin is an entirely different matter. In just a few short years as President of Russia, Putin has turned everything upside down, and probably set in train the final destruction of Zionist influence worldwide. Put simply, America is now completely broke. The U.S. dollar is falling like a stone and unemployment is climbing through the roof. Most of America's manufacturing capacity was shifted years ago to "cheap labor" countries overseas, and there is no practical way of getting it back. For nearly twelve months the Dow Jones Index has been rigged by computers, desperately trying to create an illusion of relative wealth. At the beginning of this year the only chance America and Israel had of staying afloat, was to steal and sell oil from the Caspian, Iraq and Russia, but this entire strategy has now either collapsed or been blocked by Russia and China. Where America and Americans go after this is a very good question, but, as you might expect, the Zionists have a fall back plan, at least for them. When things eventually get completely untenable, the Zionists will fall back on "Fortress Americas", a top-secret initiative designed to change the face of the earth as we now know it. So sensitive is this information, that when a small group of British Marconi defence scientists stumbled on some of the data during the eighties, they very swiftly died in murders dressed up as suicides. -- ============================================================ "...the Patriot Act followed 9-11 as smoothly as the suspension of the Weimar constitution followed the Reichstag fire." - Srdja Trifkovic There is not a problem with the system.
