Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security Adviser to Jimmy Carter, Dies at 89
NY Times ^ | 5/26/2017 | DANIEL LEWIS

Posted on 05/26/2017 7:50:23 PM PDT by Carriage Hill

Zbigniew Brzezinski, the hawkish strategic theorist who was national security adviser to President Jimmy Carter in the tumultuous years of the Iran hostage crisis and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the late 1970s, died on Friday at a hospital in Virginia. He was 89.

His death, at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, was announced on Friday by his daughter, Mika Brzezinski, a co-host of the MSNBC program “Morning Joe.”

Like his predecessor Henry A. Kissinger, Mr. Brzezinski was a foreign-born scholar (he in Poland, Mr. Kissinger in Germany) with considerable influence in global affairs, both before and long after his official tour of duty in the White House. In essays, interviews and television appearances over the decades, he cast a sharp eye on six successive administrations, including that of Donald J. Trump, whose election he did not support and whose foreign policy, he found, lacked coherence.

Yep, that’s Begin alright. At Camp David. Hopefully he beat Zbig in that chess game.

Begin was a master Chess player, a nationalist, a statesman, a true leader and a good Jew. Zbig could probably relate to Menachem yet, Zbig hated Israel I think. As long as the Israelis were conceding and giving up tangible assets the Carter administration was happy. The moment Begin dug in his heels, they began to dislike him and the Jewish state.

“This regionalization is in keeping with the Tri-Lateral Plan which calls for a gradual convergence of East and West, ultimately leading toward the goal of one world government. National sovereignty is no longer a viable concept.”
— Zbigniew Brzezinski

“We cannot leap into world government through one quick step.... The precondition for eventual and genuine globalization is progressive regionalization because by that we move toward larger, more stable, more cooperative units.”

“Today we are again witnessing the emergence of transnational elites ... [Whose] ties cut across national boundaries ...It is likely that before long the social elites of most of the more advanced countries will be highly internationalist or globalist in spirit and outlook ... The nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty... Further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken, with some consequent risk to the present relatively favorable American position.”

One of my professors was a student of his. Zbig hated the Russians.

Well, then, I've got his theme song right here.

He may not have been a part of it. But I think he was a major player behind the creation of it.

He wanted to control the unwashed masses(us), for the benefit of the elites.

We are all subconsciously brainwashed to some extent by media, advertisements, news, internet, etc.

That’s their plan and it seems to be working. Dumbing down of society for an easier to control populace. That’s why they want to let Islam into the west, they are easier to control because they do not think for themselves.

Worked under him indirectly. A harsh, severe and strict man. Far to the right of the president he served, which wasn’t hard to be. A globalist’s globalist. Amazing that Kissinger is outliving all these people.

Brzezinski was rightwing by Cold War standards, in that there was no denying his strong, sincere anti-Communism and anti-Sovietism (most people seem to forget that talk of arming the Afghan Mujahadeen started under the Carter administration thanks to a large part to Brzezinski rather than being initiated by Reagan).

On the other hand, B's anti-Communism wasn't motivated by any nationalist or real conservative instincts. He simply believed that globalism should work under a capitalist economy rather than a socialist economy, and that the world without borders that he dreamed of should be initiated from the US rather than the Soviet Union. That's why the pro-Soviet Left hated Brzezinsky 30-40 years ago while today's Globalist Left thinks of him as one of the club.

He was widely credited with being one of the Founders of the elitist Trilateral Commission, an economically oriented counterpart to the Council on Foreign Relations whose mission is to help craft the New World Order with the U.N. as the seat of government for the world.
