The New Axis -- More on the China Connection

U.S. & World Early Warning Report ^ | May 1996 (1999 reprint) | Richard J. Maybury

"I have long warned you that the New Axis might start wars in Kosovo and other areas as diversions to pull US forces away from the Persian Gulf. Kosovo's Moslem guerrillas have been receiving weapons smuggled from Moslem Albania, and rumor says some guerrillas were trained in Iran. If Kosovo becomes the next big war, watch the Persian Gulf, and consider buying more oil."

From time to time I give you secrets Washington does not want you to know. Here's another big one.

From 1945 to 1990, the USG (US government) had a "2-war" military strategy, sometimes called a win-win strategy. This meant the USG held the manpower and weapons to fight and win two regional wars at a time. If war broke out in one region, a distant enemy could not use this as an opportunity to start his own war unopposed.

Now, after the cutbacks, the Pentagon's strategy is "1-1/2 war" or win-hold-win. The idea is to defeat one enemy while holding the other in check until enough forces can be released to defeat them.

This win-hold-win strategy has a flaw no one wants to face: the USG has bought itself more than two enemies. Highly diligent in sticking its nose into other people's business, the USG has backed the regimes of Bosnia, Croatia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Israel, South Korea and Taiwan. It has thereby become the enemy of their enemies - Iraq, Iran, Serbia, Syria, North Korea, Libya, China, Sudan.

None by themselves would be a match for US forces, but all of them together would be formidable, and if you and I know this, they do, too.

The USG's backing of the Kremlin probably means we can add Chechnya to this list, for a total of nine enemies [now eleven; see additional excerpts at end of article] scattered across Chaostan. None by themselves would be a match for US forces, but all of them together would be formidable, and if you and I know this, they do, too.

Unless the nine [now eleven] are a lot more obtuse than I think they are, they must be secretly planning something. Some of them hate each other, but they hate the USG more.

If I'm right that this secret alliance has been formed, we need a name for it. In World War II, the USG's enemies were the Axis, so I'll call this group the New Axis.

Mind you, I'm not saying I'm sure the New Axis has been formed, only that it seems logical - if I were them, this is what I'd be doing.

Few realize their main duty since World War II has been to aid the spread of socialism.

Another secret. One of the first things I learned in the Air Force is that the troops are rarely told the truth about their missions. Few realize their main duty since World War II has been to aid the spread of socialism.

Since 1945, the focus of US foreign policy has been to provide military protection for the USG's allies, and this has enabled these allies to spend less on their own defense and more on welfare handouts. We complain about America's welfare boondoggle, but it is a model of frugality compared to those of most other nations that are protected by the USG. Especially the rich Persian Gulf oil states.

The primary instrument of this socialist policy has been the aircraft carrier. No other nation has anything like a US super-carrier. The most terrifying weapon ever invented, a carrier is a versatile, self-contained mobile air base that can rain devastation almost anywhere on earth. For decades, White House aides have said that each time the USG runs into a foreign policy problem, the first words out of the president's mouth are, "tell me where the carriers are."

Fifty years ago, this socialist strategy was easy. The USG had 105 carriers. It began scrapping them until today it is down to 12, and several of these are always unavailable due to maintenance, training and crew rest.

Present US military strength is far more than adequate to defend our homeland, but I doubt it is 30% of what's needed to prop up all the tyrants US diplomats have pledged to protect.

Each carrier is awesome, but it can only be in one place at a time, and the USG's allies have not strengthened their forces to take up the slack. In fact, many of these socialist regimes have been cutting back their forces, too. The 1990 coalition George Bush assembled in the Mideast is impossible now.

Present US military strength is far more than adequate to defend our homeland, but I doubt it is 30% of what's needed to prop up all the tyrants US diplomats have pledged to protect.

The March [1996] Taiwan crisis looked to me like a test, a New Axis experiment to see how easily Clinton could be suckered into moving the carrier Nimitz away from the Persian Gulf oil fields. If this is what it was, it worked. The Chinese fired their missiles, and like a guard dog abandoning his post to chase a rabbit, the Nimitz headed for Taiwan. At the same time, Iranian-backed rebels were threatening trouble in Bahrain, so the carrier George Washington, which was in the Mediterranean protecting US troops in Bosnia, had to leave its post to make a mad dash to the Persian Gulf.

Apparently the USG does not know its enemies have acquired an amazing device that enables them to coordinate their actions, and this device is faster than a carrier. It's called a telephone.

If I am right that the New Axis exists and that it was testing the USG, we can expect more rabbits until these regimes are confident they can scatter US forces at will.

I first read this in 1996, and after the war actually DID break out, I hunted the article back up again. It was a thesis of Richard J. Maybury all during the 1990's, and from the current perspective, it looks like his ideas are turning out to be correct.

All I can say is thank you Bill Clinton, for keeping busy banging the interns, and lining the pockets of the DNC, your wife, and yourself, while dismantling our military virtually committing treason by selling national security to the Chinese and stealing everything that wasn't nailed down. When the 20th Century came to a close, you left us where Great Britain was in 1939. We at FR will NEVER forget YOU for THAT, and we'll NEVER forgive you for the little gift you left behind.

Ok, so the article is total, unadulterated bullcrap. Wish I had read it fully before wasting time posting. Yeah, Reagan was intent on aiding and spreading socialism.

Socialists are in fact the root cause of most of the Evil in the world.

The piece WAS written in 1996. The last three only became fully apparent by their response to 911. Surprise! Any more waiting in the wings?

Unless the nine [now eleven] (now fourteen!) are a lot more obtuse than I think they are, they must be secretly planning something. Some of them hate each other, but they hate the USG more. They WERE.

Maybe this is whay Rusmfield looks so sober when he keeps reminding us that this is going to be VERY hard and take a VERY long time. Interesting how it's all playing out under the pretext of "terrorism". You're either with us or you're with the terrorists. And if you're with the terrorists, we'll have to go in and take you out one country at a time.

[nunya bidness]

Thanks. As much as I want the "new" format to work I'm pretty sure you flagged me. In any event put me in the "I don't want the NWO or whatever the touchy feelgood version is."

[livis_dad]

Right on. What happened to the good old days of the 1940's? Democrat, liberal, socialist, pacifist, communist, or phoo-phoo sheltered emotionally sensitive naive politically correct peacenik fanatic... what's the difference? The left needs to grow up and get a serious shot of testosterone, or leave the protection of the free world to the brave. If they don't agree with protection, they need to shut-up and hide under their beds with a nice frothy mocha latte while they pray for world peace. -livisdad

There are too many things to take apart in this article....sorry if you are a conspiracy follower. For one we have formed the "impossible" coalition again. Secondly, we have a force called Nato.....pretty powerful stuff.

[Coyote]

I realize that this guy's views are pretty radical. That's why I only took the core thesis seriously when I read it in 1996. He admits the could be wrong about the "secret" alliance he calls the New Axis. Still, I suspect that in regard to this central thesis, especially in retrospect, he may have been more right than wrong.

At any rate, the new coalition looks pretty shaky to me. And if this thing were to really break loose, we'd probably NEED the help of NATO. Come to think of it, NATO awacs are flying Homeland Security right now, aren't they? And probably only thanks to GWB's balls and the threat to use everything we have on anyone who broke out of line here with WMD's, there's not yet a second front. Not that it isn't trying to break out all over the ME, if not elsewhere, from my point of view.

[woollyone]

bump for a good find

[piasa]

NATO is flying AWACs here for one reason only: it is good feel-good PR for the other NATO nations. It makes their leadership look like they are needed and useful to the cause. Bush threw them a bone to gnaw on, so that they would quit buzzing around wanting to be in on picking targets and such. Since we don't want a bunch of nations telling us how to run a guerilla war, that leaves NATO with its mutual defense clause looking next to useless, and it isn't in our interest to make them look weak and invite more conflict. The intelligence reports and financial investigations the other NATO nations have offered don't make for good copy on the news since for the most part they must keep them discrete while the investigation continues. That makes their politicians look impotent and that is bad for NATO unity, which might come in handy as this operation continues and broadens.

What to do? What to do? well, we let them fly some AWACs over territory we already have covered through other means. They can't screw anything up that way since they won't be part of the choreography of the offensive strikes. It gives them a defensive role, so they look like they are doing something for their fellow NATO member under article 5. And best of all, it keeps them out of our hair while making them feel like they are an active and ongoing part of the coalition. If it wasn't AWACs flights we'd have to find something else for them to do.

[morque2001]

Ain't buying any of it. Too much self interest among the nations cited above. Look what hapened when the Soviet Union broke up, petty wars between nations that were at each other throats before the Soviets brought them under one flag. If they were going to bind together for any sort of pact, the first would have been self defense, and done ages ago. Even in Afghanistan the divisions among the ethnic groups prohibited any real unity of purpose.

This "New Axis" is a whim. The only real stab at binding them together has been done in the recent past, By Osama Bin Laden. He may have been successful at recruiting lots of terrorists, but let's face it, Afghanistan is the only place that would have him.

I am not going to say that the Chinese are with us 100%, but to think that they would join hands with people that are their enemies is absurd. Right now, nothing means more to them than admittance to the WTO. They are not going to jeopardize that for any reason. They have too many people to feed.

Good old find, good old friend. I've been thinking of this business as a Military Operation (my # 19), substituting Kamikazies for Battleships, Aircraft Carriers, Massed-Troops, and other instruments of war! (my # 6)

It is not logical, by our U.S. standards of life itself, for a group of 20 or more men, whose ages are up to 30+, to intentionally commit suicide while killing thousands of the 'enemy', except as a LAST resort, as in the case of the Japanese at the end of WW-II.

We're now facing an enemy that uses 'Kamikazie' as a 'FIRST' resort, and has been breeding, indoctrinating, and training-them-for-purpose, for well over 30 years.

It's called 'brain-washing' by some people, but the reality is much deeper. I studied this in the early '60s at U-of-M, taught by Dr. James McConnell, called: 'The Psychology of Influence-401 and 402'. The 'Manchurian Candidate' is exactly true, but only only about 40% of the time. It's easy to cull-out the failures, and the remainder will do whatever they're told to do! All they have to do is breed enough of them.

I think they've bred a bunch of them, and the game is afoot. Of course, that's just my opinion! I could be right! Stay well and vigilant....FRegards
