This is from NyQuist on the Final Phase. I don't belong there- but have read there for many years.
Sean Osbourne Lomax often posts there- here no longer it seems. His premise seems to be that the Russkies are definitely in cahoots with AQ- and I tend to agree.
Now this fellow Nyquist really seems to know his stuff. I am too intimidated intellectually to join their board- but here is what he has to say, and I think alot of us will find it interesting:
""Everyone missed Topol M's important point. It is worth considering. While the standard pre-cursor nuclear spetsnaz attack as described by Suvorov would involve decapitation and paralyzing blow to America's early warning and nuclear command and control, the actual plan may be different -- and less risky for Moscow.
If the CIA is blind, as we know it is, then a grey terror nuclear offensive might serve the purpose of destroying the dollar, crashing the U.S. financial system, which would defund the U.S. government and set the right and left in this country at one another's throats. Any offensive from China and Russia could come much later, exploiting the resulting social chaos in the U.S.
The result of a tactical nuclear terror attack on seven U.S. cities would be, first and foremost: The Republic would be over in all but name, but more importantly, Americans would no longer be held together by prosperity. The domestic basis for peace would be shattered. The post-Christian spirit of our country would then be unveiled in all its glory.
Carl Jung described the post-Christian spirit as "a false spirit of arrogance, hysteria, woolly-mindedness, criminal amorality, and doctrinaire fanaticism, a purveyor of shoddy spiritual goods, spurious art, philosophical stutterings, and Utopian humbug, fit only to be fed wholesale to the mass man of today. That is what the post-Christian spirit looks like."
Imagine the immediate political ramifications for a U.S. attempting to recover from a grey terror strike that turns the dollar into stuff for wallpapering bathroom stalls. Imagine the many ways this could be exploited.
This is one possible way of analyzing what this could be about. "
The second civil war, as forseen by many on this thread.
Reference 1407:
Whoever wrote that analysis is definitely a Cold War veteran with a grasp for Soviet strategic doctrine.
The Soviets had a policy of equipping anyone who would help them along towards their ultimate goal.
example: If a commie in Paraguay wanted a Surface to Air Missile and it helped along Soviet strategic goals in Paraguay, they would hand them out to the commie and let them use them. When the commie got results and achieved victories, the Soviets would move in en masse and consolidate their victory, even if it required killing the original commies who helped them.
Its nothing to dismiss..thats for sure
A devalued dollar hurts the Russians and kills the Chinese. Both are heavily invested in the dollar.
Excellent Jung quote!! I will be using it regularly. Of all the vulnerabilities that we have, the 'post-Christian spirit' is the most telling.
TFP is a GREAT site, with a lot of very well-written and insightful content.
A "must read" for all, IMHO!
