Czechoslovak General Sejna-Russian long-term communnist plan
Anti-Communist Analyst ^ | 01-29-2006 | Honza Malina

Posted on 01/29/2006 10:10:51 PM MST by Jan Malina

1982 book "We will bury you" by Czechoslovak general Jan Sejna
I just got this book today.

He defected in February 1968. He was murdered [poisoned] in 1997, most likely by the Russians, because he testified in front of representative Bob Dornan's U.S. Congressional Committee on U.S. POWs.

http://www.anti-communistanalyst.com/Sejna1.html

Sejna was the highest level ever defector from communism. Sejna knew about the Soviet long range plan which was named Perestroika and fully implemented by Gorbachev at the end of 1980.

page 101

One of the basic problems of the West is its frequent failure to recognize the existence of any Soviet grand design at all. Those rejecting this concept unwittingly serve Soviet efforts to conceal their objectives and further complicate the process of determining such objectives.

While many Western political analysts scoff at the idea of a coherent Soviet strategy, Brezhnev has said that "the liquidation of colonial empires was effectively completed in the seventies. The sphere of Imperialist domination in the World has narrowed."
----
page 103

While the main target of the strategic plan is the United States, a direct attack against it would invite great damage to the Soviet Union.

Therefore to avoid direct conflict with the U.S. the Plan calls for the isolation of the 'main enemy' by the 'Finlandization' of Europe [Honza's note: .... means subversion and infiltration], reduction of western political and economic access to the Third World by establishing pro-Soviet regimes whenever and wherever possible; and insurgency in areas of importance to the U.S., such as Central America.

Continued, it is long and clear as to the danger, talk about dot connecting.........wow.

Al-Qaeda eyes options in Lebanon

By Alon Ben-David JDW Correspondent
Tel Aviv

Hizbullah's exclusive dominance of southern Lebanon has been interrupted in recent weeks by what appears to be an attempt by Al-Qaeda to establish a foothold in the country.

On 13 January, Lebanese security forces arrested 13 alleged Al-Qaeda members - Lebanese, Palestinian, Syrian, Jordanian and Saudi nationals - and charged them with plotting terrorist attacks. Although it is not yet clear whether the detainees had anything to do with Al-Qaeda, a senior Israeli intelligence officer told JDW that the arrests signal Hizbullah's growing discomfort with Al-Qaeda's "encroachment in their backyard".

Although Shiite Hizbullah has very good relations with Sunni organisations, such as the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, it perceives Al-Zarqawi's organisation, which so far has killed hundreds of Shiites in Iraq, as a threat. "We do not have any relationship with that group. They are working toward tearing the Islamic Nation apart, dividing Muslims into numerous sects and mutilating the face of Islam," Afif Naboulsi, Hizbullah's director of media relations, told the Lebanese Daily Star.

"I can confidently say that terrorism is closing on us from all sides," Israel Defence Force Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Dan Halutz said at the Herzliya National Security Conference on 22 January. "The attacks of the recent 18 months point to it." Gen Halutz said that Israel now faces "Global Jihad, which doesn't have an address, but is a virtual union with a common ideological denomination".

Israeli intelligence reports suggest that 'Global Jihad' organisations have already set foot in the Gaza Strip, following Israel's August 2005 withdrawal. "It is a matter of time until we see an Al-Qaeda attack inside Israel," intelligence sources told JDW.

Organised crime gangs pose threat to Cuban development

By Dr Mark Galeotti

Cuban leader Fidel Castro's death or incapacitation would almost certainly lead to a crisis for the revolutionary regime and perhaps its collapse, opening up the country to dramatically increased domestic organised crime and also integration with transnational networks.

Currently, the Cubans are prepared to co-operate on a limited and pragmatic basis with the US, as well as with authorities in Jamaica and their other neighbours. Were the regime in Havana to become even less supportive of counternarcotics operations, whether because of rising corruption or state policy, this would pose a serious challenge to regional interdiction efforts. It would also open up new opportunities for organised crime, for which Cuba could become a new fall-back location for drug warehousing and processing facilities, or simply as a safe haven.

Less overtly, a rapid and under-controlled shift to market economics could, as happened in the post-Soviet states, open up the country for a criminalisation of its financial system. It could again become an offshore playground and magnet for organised crime money, not least as a money-laundering centre. Already Russian gangs, drawing on historical connections with the island and connections with the Cuban elite, have used its financial system to launder funds.

In the longer term, there are reasons to fear that Cuba risks returning to its old role as a criminal haven and playground. The regime will not survive Castro's death or incapacitation in its present form. Almost any scenario for the future carries with it dangers. It may collapse and be replaced by a democratising regime: while a welcome development, this is likely to mean a rapid and uncontrolled marketisation, throwing open great opportunities for organised crime. Alternatively, a coup from within the military or security forces is possible; if unsuccessful, this could create anarchy of the kind which bedevils Haiti, while if successful it could create the kind of corrupt dictatorship which has plagued Latin America.

More Russian Spies In The US Than Cold War Days

Time Magazine | January 31 2005

At Los Angeles International Airport two weeks ago, FBI agents arrested an Irish businessman they had spent a week tailing all over California's Silicon Valley, from the offices of two electronics manufacturers in Sunnyvale to a hotel in Mountain View and down a quiet cul-de-sac to a suburban house in San Jose. The technology exporter, according to court papers, had purchased sophisticated computer components in the U.S. to send to Russia through Ireland. He now stands to be charged in mid-February with "unlawful export of 'defense articles.'" U.S. officials point to this little-noticed case as one manifestation of a troubling reality: although the cold war is long over, Russia is fielding an army of spooks in the U.S. that is at least equal in number to the one deployed by the old, much larger Soviet Union.

Russia runs more than 100 known spies under official cover in the U.S., senior U.S. intelligence and law-enforcement officials say. And those are just the more easily spotted spies working under the classic guise of diplomat. An unknown number of so-called nocs—who work under nonofficial cover as businessmen and -women, journalists or academics—undoubtedly expand the Russian spy force. "They're baaaaack," says a former senior U.S. intelligence official who worked against Moscow during the cold war. "They're busy as hell, but I don't think we've really got what it is that they're doing." The number of Russian spies in the U.S. is especially surprising, given that it was less than four years ago that the Bush Administration expelled 50 of them in retaliation for the humiliating discovery that FBI counterintelligence agent Robert Hanssen had been spying for Russia for 21 years.

In a high-level meeting late last year, officials tell TIME, the National Security Council instructed the FBI, CIA, State Department and other agencies to get a better handle on the Russian espionage threat. While the U.S. might like to eject suspect diplomats to force the Russians to send in their "rookies," as a U.S. official put it, Moscow would probably respond in kind, denting the CIA's corps in Russia.

As the FBI has remade itself in the wake of 9/11 into a counterterrorism agency, the bureau's long-standing counterintelligence mission has been bumped down a notch on the priority list. During this time, Russia has been among the U.S.'s rivals most aggressively exploiting the opening to build up its spying capabilities. Also, it has been using liberalized immigration rules for Russians, instituted after the cold war, to install nocs.

Officials say the Russians are after secrets about American military technology and hardware, dual-use technology such as the latest lasers, and the Administration's plans and intentions regarding the former Soviet states, China, the Middle East and U.S. energy policy, among other matters. Russia also wants to learn as much as possible about its biggest strategic worry: the U.S.'s ramped-up commitment to missile defense, which could eventually threaten Moscow's nuclear deterrent. Asked about the Russian spy surge, Russian embassy spokesman Yevgeniy Khorishko replied, "We do not comment on any of the issues concerning intelligence."

In addition to embassy-based spies, Russia—along with China, Pakistan, Iran and any number of other countries, including U.S. allies—relies on many hard-to-trace front companies, often run through third-party countries, to acquire secrets and dual-use technology. "We think there are thousands of these companies," a senior U.S. official said.

David Szady, the FBI's assistant director for counterintelligence, who is in charge of keeping tabs on foreign spies on U.S. soil, told TIME that in the next five years he wants to double the number of agents chasing spooks. Already, the FBI has placed counterespionage squads of at least seven agents in all 56 of its field division offices over the past year. What about the chance that damaging U.S. moles are helping Russia today? Says one U.S. senior intelligence official: "There's always evidence of another mole because there are always unexplained events. There are always unexplained losses. There are always enough dots that look strange."

[The following is based on an FBI strategy report sent to the 14,000-member National Association of Chiefs of Police.]

The foreign intelligence threat within the United States is far more complex than it has ever been historically. The threat is increasingly asymmetrical insofar as it comes not only from traditional foreign intelligence services but also from nontraditional, non-state actors who operate from decentralized organizations.

Intelligence collection is no longer limited to classified national defense information but now includes targeting of the elements of national power, including our national economic interests. Moreover, foreign intelligence tradecraft is increasingly sophisticated and takes full advantage of advances in communications security and the general openness of US society.

In short, the foreign intelligence threat is more challenging than ever. In the fall of 2003, the Foreign Counterintelligence Program had investigations involving dozens of countries that focused on hundreds of known or suspected intelligence officers who were assigned to enter or travel within the United States. These investigations spanned all 56 field offices.

In order to meet these challenges, the Foreign Counterintelligence Program is being redesigned to become more nationally focused and directed. Through a more centralized program, the FBI will ensure its ability to establish priorities, be more proactive, and better engage other intelligence community agencies so that cooperation in important cases is immediate and seamless.

A centralized program will also ensure that infrastructure issues will be consistently addressed and coordinated in order to ensure workforce expertise, that staffing matches the articulated foreign intelligence threat, and that a sufficiently broad and reliable intelligence base is developed. From this foundation, the Foreign Counterintelligence Program will be positioned to achieve its strategic objectives and ultimately reach its goal to prevent harm to the United States through foreign intelligence activity inimical to US interests.

During the past year, the Foreign Counterintelligence Program has been invigorated by the introduction of a new and innovative National Strategy for Counterintelligence and a program plan, both of which are proactive in emphasis. At the same time, additional resources were introduced to the program. To enhance counterintelligence workforce expertise, a new four-week Counterintelligence Operations course was developed.

All special agents assigned to the Counterintelligence Program are required to successfully complete this course. Computer-based distance learning courses are also available to all personnel on a variety of counterintelligence topics. A counterintelligence training course for midlevel and executive managers was also initiated, covering topics in both the tactical and strategic areas of counterintelligence management.

The FBI plays an essential role in the US government's counterintelligence efforts and has the responsibility to produce domestic foreign intelligence in support of other members of the intelligence community.

The FBI also has the responsibility to oversee the integration of domestic law enforcement and intelligence efforts to address intelligence threats in support of Director of Central Intelligence imperatives. The counterintelligence strategy involves centrally managed, proactive, and nationally directed initiatives, with prioritized and strategic objectives that support DCI imperatives, overseen by experienced headquarters managers.

Success for the Foreign Counterintelligence Program will be reflected in the extent to which the FBI agents are able to: identify the objectives, the assets, and the operations of foreign intelligence services operating in the United States; disrupt the operations of those foreign intelligence services; and change the behavior of targeted institutions and individuals to minimize opportunities for their exploitation.

Government support of critical national research and development initiatives in a large number of agencies and involving thousands of government contractors must be protected. Compromise of these initiatives by those hostile to the United States would do irreparable harm. The FBI must effectively meet its responsibility to assess the threat against those projects and, with other Intelligence Community agencies, initiate operations to counter the threat.

Critical National Assets are any information, policies, plans, technologies, or industries that, if stolen, modified, or manipulated by an adversary would seriously threaten US national or economic security. The FBI has a major role in identifying threats to Critical National Assets and assessing their overall vulnerability, especially in the areas of economic espionage, academic research, and private sector research and development.

As the remaining world superpower, the United States is targeted from nearly every corner of the globe. The FBI will focus its counterintelligence resources on those countries and non-state actors having the greatest potential to harm US interests, and will work to gain a greater understanding of the threats they pose. Specifically, the FBI will examine threats related to terrorism, espionage, weapons proliferation, national infrastructure, US government perception management, and foreign intelligence activities.

Colonel Stanislav Lunev is the highest-ranking military officer ever to defect from Russia to the United States...and we took him in and trusted him.

While the U.S. Fights a War, Foreign Spies Work Against Us
Col. Stanislav Lunev
Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2002
Last week, a retired Air Force master sergeant was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of attempting to spy for Iraq, Libya and China against the U.S. in exchange for $13 million.
The government said Brian P. Regan had access to top secret and classified information in his work at the super-secret National Reconnaissance Office, including space satellites, early-warning systems, means of defense against large-scale attack, and major elements of military strategy.

In other words, Mr. Regan had access to the heart of America's national security, whose secrets he tried to sell to rogue nations and to anybody willing to pay cash.

His case is a good reminder for us that while the U.S. remains busy with the war on international terrorism, America is still facing other threats as serious as international terrorism.

Some of our new so-called partners in the war such as Russia and Communist China are taking advantage of our preoccupation with the war by increasing their spying activities against the U.S., which they consider as their "main potential military adversary."

The level of Chinese intelligence penetration of the American establishment became known to the public over the last few years thanks to press reports about the handing of U.S. nuclear secrets to Beijing's communist leadership and the use of Chinese intelligence funds to assist the election campaigns of America's liberal-left politicians.

The level of Russia's intelligence penetration of American secrets is not well known, but the case of Mr. Hanssen, arrested in the beginning of last year, very clearly demonstrates the capabilities of Moscow spies.

According to intelligence estimates, Russian spies currently continue their penetration through the U.S. national security apparatus, where they are recruiting agents and so-called trusted persons with access to the most sensitive, important and vital of our country secrets.

Additionally, hundreds of Russian spies during the last several years have been deeply involved in industrial espionage against America, where they are penetrating U.S. industrial, financial, commercial and other infrastructures.

Following requests from Russia's organized crime syndicates, which have infiltrated practically all levels of Russian government institutions, Moscow spies are working very hard to find breaks and holes in the security of American private businesses.

The spies' penetration is followed by Russian criminals' attacks against the most profitable American companies and corporations, especially in an effort to establish control over businesses compromised by the intelligence agencies.

In New York, California and Florida, as well as some other American states, the situation with Russian crime syndicate activity became so obvious that local authorities have declared a state of emergency in their areas.

After Sept. 11, Russian leaders promised to provide us intelligence information for the war on terror, but until now their data has been extremely limited and hardly useful for the anti-terrorist operation.

Currently, however, the leaders of the Russian spy agencies frequently visit Washington, where they seek classified intelligence and secret information from the U.S., including data from the Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters in American custody.

There is no doubt that real cooperation between the special services of the two countries could be helpful to the war on terror, but we need to be very careful not to provide American secrets to spies operating against the U.S.

We must also keep in mind the present Russian leaders' point of view that in our world there can be friendly countries but never friendly intelligence.

This article still is the most frightening one out there. It also answers many questions regarding how they got them, where they could be and how they hide them.

PW: The nuclear weapons were not contained solely in Afghanistan. Al-Qaida laboratories were established in the Balkans, Sudan, Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and even places like Myanmar. A number of these weapons have been forward deployed to Mexico and the U.S.

My educated guess would be that arsenals have been established in several of the following countries: Pakistan, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Myanmar, Algeria, Indonesia, Malaysia, Abu Dubai, Iran, Syria and Lebanon . The last three in light of the al-Qaida truce and bonding with Hezbollah. Myanmar looms large since very sinister events are taking place there. These events, including the construction of large reactors, have been made possible by fugitive scientists and technicians from the Khan Research Facility .But don't lose sight of the fact that nukes have been forward deployed to al-Qaida cells in Canada, Mexico and the U.S.
