Anti-Russian Russia. Andrei Fursov about the goals of the West in Ukraine
“The maximum program in Ukraine is the same as in the 1930s during the creation of the German Nazi Reich: the creation of a force that, if necessary, for the West will take on the decisive part of the war with Russia and exhaust it to the maximum, while self-destructing. In other words, the final decision of the Slavic / Russian question by the forces of the Slavs / Russians themselves, followed by the division of Russia / Northern Eurasia and the appropriation of its resources and space. ” So well-known historian and specialist in geopolitics, director of the Institute for System-Strategic Analysis Andrei Fursov explained the strategic task of the West in an interview with the deputy chief editor of the newspaper Vzglyad, Pyotr Akopov. Here is an interview.
- Andrei Ilyich, do you agree that the “February revolution” in Ukraine was caused not only by the refusal of Kiev from the agreement on European integration, but also by the fact that in the 2013 year the West suffered a serious geopolitical defeat in Syria?
- Last year, in both cases, the West failed to achieve the results that were set - to overthrow the Assad regime and bring the pro-Western forces to power in Ukraine, finally separating Ukraine from Russia. And if there were disagreements on the Syrian issue in the world capitalist elite - there was an influential group that did not want to escalate the conflict in Syria and turn it into a regional war, then on the Ukrainian issue the West was a single entity. At the same time, it is clear that, economically, the North Atlantic elites do not need Ukraine for a hundred years, they need to geopolitically tear Ukraine away from Russia, turning it into an anti-Russian bridgehead.
The policy of separating Ukraine from Russia is a long-standing geopolitical “project” of the West as a whole: Germans, British, Americans. We like to quote Brzezinski’s words that without Ukraine, Russia is not destined to become a great power (this is a mistake: Russia and without Ukraine can be a great power, only this will be more difficult to achieve than with Ukraine, but Ukraine without Russia is a ruin, This is an abandoned distant courtyard of Europe). But much earlier than Long Zbig, at the very beginning of the 20 of the 20th century, German General Paul Rohrbach wrote that it was in the interests of Europe, and above all Germany, to "tear Ukrainian Russia away from Moscow Russia." It is significant that for the general both Ukraine and Muscovy are Russia.
In the current situation with Ukraine, the United States and the European Union vividly and without embarrassment demonstrated both hypocrisy, double standards, and Russophobia. Only this last one can be explained by their more than “tolerant” attitude towards the Ukrainian Nazis, marching through the streets of Kiev, towards SS men marching in the city. The logic is simple: if the Nazis in Ukraine (as in the Baltic States) against Russia, then let them. However, Americans are not used to it: in 1945 – 1946, with the active assistance of the Russophobic Vatican, they did everything to remove them from the blow of the Nazis (including obvious war criminals) to the United States or Latin America and actively use them against the USSR . Ukrainian events are a visual experience with whom we are dealing.
- As a result, in February, the opposition managed to overthrow Yanukovych - and the West considered that it had achieved its goal ...
- Yes, the situation in Ukraine has radically changed: in Kiev 19 – 21 February there was a neo-Nazi-Bandera coup inspired by the collective West, and above all - the USA. It was the Americans who, using the dullness and greed of Yanukovych and his entourage, changed the situation, halting the anti-terrorist operation of the Ukrainian authorities. If it had begun, it would have been done with Maidan - he was already retreating. But it turned out the way it did. The long years of work of the US intelligence services with the Ukrainian top, which keeps money in American banks, the SBU, the Bandera underground, which was activated, and to a large extent recreated, have affected.
It is indicative that during two decisive days the US Ambassador “worked” for the Rada speaker, who dictated the conditions to the top of the “unseen”. Although what kind of "neutrality" can we talk about? The quasi-state of Ukraine, and so was largely under external control, but here it was demonstrated frankly, cynically and brazenly. Everyone was shown who is the boss, who rules the events - in the Rada and on the Maidan, whose evil will directs the neo-Nazi scumbags. The February American-Bandera coup could significantly change the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe, Eurasia and the world.
If the West and the pro-Western forces in Ukraine, who used in their goals, far from the interests of Ukraine, the natural discontent of the inhabitants of Ukraine, primarily Kiev, the mafia-oligarchic clan of Yanukovych, have their plans, then the goal they have been actively pursuing for more than two decades can be considered achieved. Already, war has come to earth historical Russia - for the first time after the Nazi invasion. In the future, we can talk not only about creating a self-reproducing situation of the Yugoslav type near the borders of the Russian Federation, but also about turning Ukraine into an anti-Russian Slavic state opposing (in alliance with Poland) Russia. The attempt to create such a state by the hands of the leaders of the "Orange Revolution", the American Sixes, Yushchenko and Tymoshenko failed. Most of the people resisted this course, and the election of Yanukovych did not accelerate the process of the final separation of Ukraine from Russia - this long-standing Western project developed by the Germans and inherited by the Americans.
We often quote the words of Zbigniew Brzezinski that without the accession of Ukraine, Russia was not destined to regain the status of a great power. “Long Zbig” is mistaken: Russia and without Ukraine can return this status, only it will be more difficult and take more time. But the main thing is that Brzezinski is not original, he repeats the words of the German General Paul Rohrbach, who predicted at the beginning of the 20 century: to eliminate the danger from Russia for Europe, and above all for Germany, it is necessary to completely tear Ukrainian Russia away from Russia Moscow. Let us pay attention to the fact that for the German general both Ukraine and Muscovy are all Russia, and he speaks of the need to cause an internal Russian intra-Russian split. In this regard, he develops the ideas of German politicians of the last third of the 19 century, in particular Bismarck, who not only insisted on the need for such a split, but also offered concrete means of solving this problem.
In particular, they stressed the need to oppose Ukraine to Russia, to poison their peoples, for which it is necessary to raise people among the Russian Ukrainians themselves with a consciousness that has been altered to such an extent that they will hate everything Russian. Thus, it was about a psycho-historical special operation, information-psychological sabotage, the purpose of which is the creation of Slav-Russophobes as a psycho-cultural type and political force. Such orcs in the service of the Western Saruman. They had to tear Ukraine from Russia and oppose it with the latter as “anti-Russian Russia”, as a “free and democratic” alternative to the empire. All this was designed, in particular, by the Galician project, on which the intelligence services of Austria-Hungary and Kaiser Germany, then the Third Reich, in the second half of the 20 century and to this day the CIA and BND actively worked.
After the Orange Revolution, it seemed to the West that the task would be solved - it did not work out. By the end of 2013, it also seemed that the task was about to be solved, that the EU clamp was already around Yanukovych’s and Ukraine’s neck. But the position played by the position of Russia (and possibly of China), and Yanukovych, having decided to play some of his own gesheft game, bucked. At this point, the West wrote off, firstly, Yanukovich, secondly, the peaceful, “orange” way of separating Ukraine from Russia, making a bet on Bandera, on Ukrainian neo-Nazi russophobes, a product of the very psycho-historical operation that the Germans began to prepare for a century and a half back, then during the Second World War, the Nazis picked up the baton, creating the SS division "Galicia", and from 1990-s the heirs of the Third Reich to create a new world order (what a coincidence of terminology!) joined the work. - Americans. # {ussr}
The result of the long-term "relay race" is the February neo-Nazi-Bandera coup in Kiev, conducted under the instruction of American specialists, and the beginning of the design of the anti-Russian Bandera state. For the first time, the West managed to lay the foundation of an absolutely anti-Russian (more Russophobic than Poland) Slavic (and not a Catholic, but Orthodox) state. In terms of its demographic potential, Bandera’s Ukraine, especially in alliance with Poland, may well resist Russia militarily, especially with the support of NATO.
The minimum program for the creation by the West of the Slavic neo-Nazi-Bandera Reich is constant pressure on Russia, provoking it in various ways, including sabotage, and in the case of an adequate response, replicating the image of “free democratic Ukraine” in the world media, which is allegedly under pressure from Russia aspiring to the restoration of the empire; in short, small Ukraine is a victim of big Russia (according to the scheme “poor Albanians - victims of evil Serbs” worked out in Yugoslavia).
The maximum program is the same as in the 1930s during the creation of the German Nazi Reich: the creation of a force that, if necessary, for the West will take on the decisive part of the war with Russia and exhaust it to the maximum, while self-destructing. In other words, the final decision of the Slavic / Russian question by the forces of the Slavs / Russians themselves, followed by the division of Russia / Northern Eurasia and the appropriation of its resources and space. But, as you know, it was smooth on paper.
History is an insidious lady, it’s enough to recall how and with what those who sought the final solution of the Russian question ended. This is not to mention that there is the East and Southeast of Ukraine. At the same time, however, it must be remembered: the current separation of Ukraine from Russia is planned as a separation-opposition for pressure on Russia or striking at it with the forces of the neo-Nazi-Bandera regime. This, among other things (and the “other” it takes place: the struggle in the American elite, the situation of Obama after the 2013 year for him, the US-German problems, the Chinese games in Eastern Europe, etc.), the US response to Russia's actions in the 2013 year .
It looks like they, at least, this administration and the clans behind it, which need to save face in front of their masters, are moving to action: after two years of elections, and the Democrats do not want to leave the White House, and Obama will have to work on the new, now white president. Who it will be - Madame Clinton, who back in December 2012, was mad at the Customs Union and, seeing in it the re-Sovietization of the post-Soviet space, stated that the United States would oppose this in every way, Biden or someone else - it does not matter. It is important that Russia should not expect anything good from this segment of the American top, but an attack is possible. But, as the characters of the film “Chapaev” said about the attack of the enemy: “Mental? Well, to hell with her, let's psychic.
- And you do not exaggerate the paint?
- I would really like to make a mistake so that it turns out - I’m exaggerating. However, I have been studying the world struggle for power, information and resources for a long time, analyzing the goal-setting and activities of the North Atlantic elites. I repeat that Russia, even in its present state, is still the only obstacle on their path to world domination. That is why L. Shebarshin, one of the last chiefs of Soviet intelligence, noted: the West needs one thing from Russia — that it should not be there. Strategically, geohistorically was not. And for the organization of non-existence, a ram is needed - like Hitler used to be.
Therefore, our armored train should always be on the siding: forewarned is forearmed. And it is better to thicken colors and make mistakes, than to allow the repetition of "22 June 1941 of the Year", the more North Atlantic elites - the enemy is much more serious than Hitler with his Third Reich, which turned out to be one-on-one with almost the whole world. Today, one-on-one with almost the whole world is we, especially since the Russian Federation is not the USSR either in terms of its economic potential or, most importantly, in the quality of human material.
- Can you imagine what will happen to Ukraine, its economy in the event of a consolidation of the Bandera regime?
- Ruins. Nothing else can be. Partially destroyed, partially suppressed, partially expelled Russian population. Destroyed industry, bought up by the West and partly by the Chinese land.
- But in this case there may be a mass popular outrage and the overthrow of the Bandera regime, isn't it?
- It is theoretically possible, but it is difficult to overthrow the regime, behind which stands the West. This was possible when the USSR existed in the world — the second superpower that could support the weak of this world in their struggle against the strong, against the bourgeois iron heel. A more likely other option: the regime and the West will try to direct the social rage of the lower classes to the eastern neighbor, identifying it as the source of all the evils, the causes of which are allegedly "oppression of the Russian empire", "Soviet totalitarianism", etc.
However, I repeat: the story - the lady treacherous, and everything can go differently. The future is not predetermined, it becomes in the struggle, the collision of wills and forces, and therefore depends on us, on our actions. Unfortunately, the game for Ukraine is stupidly lost. Our ambassadors worked with the Ukrainian oligarchs, turning their geshets, completely forgetting that there are people, people, including pro-Russian — the dollar was sickening with reason, while the West worked with the oligarchs, and with the most active anti-Russian forces, layers, in groups. These groups turned out to be the joker with whom the West interrupted the supposedly pro-Russian oligarchs and their protégé with a criminal past.
However, losing a game is not losing a match, the match is not over. But in order to win it, or at least not to lose, it is necessary to do ruthless work on the mistakes and restore order at home. The loss of the “Ukrainian party” is the result of our internal problems, internal disruption.
- If we go from Ukraine to a global scale, can we say that there are changes in the alignment of forces in the world arena, and in part have already occurred in the past year?
- It is hardly possible to speak of fundamental, i.e., qualitative changes in the alignment of forces in the world arena. There is a routine daily struggle. The situations in Syria and in Ukraine are far from being resolved, and it is clear that the interested forces in the West will continue to exert pressure — the struggle will continue. In the meantime, the parties, like the players in the wonderful game of Weiqi (Go), “set stones”.
- What are the geopolitical successes of Vladimir Putin and Russia last year?
- The successes of Vladimir Putin and Russia in the international arena, at least with regard to Syria and Snowden, are due, firstly, to favorable circumstances - the lack of unity in the world top, the presence of two opposing sides, on whose contradictions can be played.
Secondly, a certain part of the world top in 2011 – 2012 exerted a powerful pressure on Putin, and then tried to ostracize him - just look at the anti-Putin campaign in the media - and overdo it: the Russian Federation and its leader, in fact, had no place to retreat. I'm sure Putin never had any illusions about those with whom he deals in the West, those whom he calls "partners," but the Libyan and Syrian events with the extrajudicial killing of one leader and the failed attempt to kill another (in the literal sense of the word) the danger of compromises with the western elite, which is increasingly behaving like an organized criminal group.
Finally, the last but not the least: the economic cluster in which Putin and his team - gas-oil (which is currently “state-forming”) are most interested — requires not only the preservation of the sovereignty of the Russian Federation, but also expansion, not to mention the protection of business boundaries. By the way, Syria and Ukraine are closely connected with the development of the gas industry and international competition in this field.
And yet, with regard to Syria, it must be admitted: if the deployment of a regional war in the Middle East did not contradict the interests of a certain part of the top of the world capitalist class, the “masters of the world game,” it would be very difficult for the Russian Federation and China to stop the aggression.
- And who was not interested?
- Let's start with the one who was interested. There were three such sides: the Anglo-American “oil industry”, the Israeli lobby in the USA, Israel and Saudi Arabia — each had its own interest. Saudi Arabia and Israel (and, consequently, the Israeli lobby in the US) are very concerned about Obama’s attempts (more precisely, those clans that are behind this “cardboard president”) to improve relations with Iran and — maximum program — to turn him into an ally. This would be a great success for the United States in their Middle Eastern and - more broadly - Eurasian policy. A large, extremely important geopolitical and geo-economic position of oil-bearing Iran as an ally is preferable to, for example, small Israel. Alliance with the United States will bring Iran out of actual union with China, and the tension in the Middle East, so much needed by the United States, will continue: Shiite Iran versus Sunni Arab monarchies.
The warming of US-Iranian relations, which Obama and part of the Iranian establishment are striving for, is what terribly frightens Saudi Arabia and Israel, that they are trying to thwart at any cost, including the war with Syria, of which Iran is an ally.
Now imagine: the arsonists managed to light the fire of a regional war. What should Iran do sooner or later? Shut off the Strait of Hormuz. As a result, oil prices skyrocket. Cui bono? Who benefits? Anglo-American "oil industry". Who is the loser? The European Union, China, and that (very powerful) part of the Anglo-American financial and economic elite, which invested in the European Union and China, first of all the Rothschilds (not to mention the Chinese, and a certain part of the Western European elite, in particular the German, which, unlike from the French, did not want to participate in the adventure of the Tlas clan, who intended to take the place of the Assad clan in Syria). These layouts, or, as they would say in the 18 century, "conjuncture", plus the active actions of the leadership of the Russian Federation and determined the result. But the result of this preliminary. In Syria and around it, nothing ended, as in Ukraine.
By the way, speaking of the coup d'état in Ukraine, one cannot fail to mention the failed coup attempt in 2013 in another former republic of the USSR - Kirghizia. The next surrogate revolution was supposed to start at the Naryn gold mines under environmental and anti-corruption slogans and develop into a large-scale movement. The latter was supposed to disrupt the SCO summit in Bishkek and prevent China from gaining control over Manas airport. But at the last moment, as Stirlitz would say, something did not work out. Analyst Konstantin Cheremnykh noted an interesting similarity between the Ukrainian and Kyrgyz events: in both cases the resource of the Hizb ut-Tahrir network was involved, which feels at ease not only in Central Asia, but also in Ukraine, where, like in Syria, the main political battles most likely to come.
The confrontation, and successful one, of Putin of a certain part of the “masters of the world game” manifested itself not only in foreign but also in domestic politics. I mean his Valdai speech and answers to questions from Russian and foreign journalists. In the first case, the president essentially recognized the need for a state ideology (and indeed, without ideology, that is, proclaiming meanings and goals, development is impossible, only gesheft, cutting dough and dancing to someone else’s tune, often hostile ideology) and unequivocally spoke about traditional values, including family, which the West is rapidly losing.
At a meeting with journalists, Putin stunned them, especially Westerners, by comparing Stalin and Cromwell. The president put the question as follows: why is Stalin worse than Cromwell? Cromwell, like Stalin, is to blame for the death of a large number of people, but he is given monuments in England, therefore ...
Perhaps a better example for comparison would not be Cromwell, but King Henry VIII, on whose orders about 10% of the population of England were sent to that light just because they were deprived of their livelihood and, being driven from the land by landlords, turned in the tramp Almost did not lag behind dads and Elizabeth I. However, the example of Cromwell is also eloquent.
And during the meeting, the president, answering a question about the defeat of education by the relevant ministry, jokingly (there is a joke in every joke) noted that, apparently, representatives of the “creative class” had snuck into this ministry.
Comprador media called the whole amalgam “creative class” - from office plankton to intellectual and emotional (“show business”) comprador elite servants. From the point of view of real economy, real production and - more broadly - real life, this is a poorly educated, useless in social function, trotting layer, a layer absolutely unpatriotic, if not to say - anti-Russian in its spirit, a layer of individuals professing consumption, individualism, social Darwinism, group egoism , snobbery in relation to the people, which for them are “anchovies”, “footcloths”, etc.
“Kreakly” is the announced result of social and educational degeneration. “Creative class” are those 10 – 12% of the population that fit into the lower-middle part of the comprador market and, being a product of social decay, decay, are not capable of producing anything other than decay and destruction. In this regard, those who carried out education reform are true creacles, and Putin’s phrase, whatever he had in mind, hit the target.
- What factors led to the discovery of Snowden?
- This is a very tricky and not completely understandable situation, although now we can say who lost (and see behind this, if not the scheduler, then the performer), and evaluate the overall result, which, in my opinion, is very positive. I will be brief, as analyst Elena Larina drew a rather complete picture in her publications in Komsomolskaya Pravda.
I think that the incident of Snowden, which has more than one bottom, is caused primarily by the confrontation between two US political clusters expressing the interests of two economic blocs - the latest IT technologies on the one hand and the traditional industrial sector on the other. As a result of Snowden’s flight and revelations, the most powerful intelligence service, the NSA, connected with the IT sector, received a blow. And the blow was apparently inflicted by the CIA forces, which were closely connected with the industrial sector, primarily the oil sector, with the Bush family, that is, with the Yale illuminators who were at the origins of the CIA.
It is clear that the CIA had to somehow agree with the special services of some other countries, and it is not such a rarity in the global struggle for power, information and resources, when corporate-departmental and clan interests take on tactical precedence over national ones.
The loser from the scandal was Obama, who was publicly and humiliatingly "bent." Therefore, those who believe that this whole story is inspired by the clans behind Obama in order to compromise the American special services, who took too much power in the first decade of the 21st century, are mistaken. The scandal did not affect the US intelligence community as a whole, but a specific service, and also occurred at a very inconvenient time for Obama. For several years, Obama has been cleaning his “stables” from those who are somehow connected with Bush, neocons, Yale University, and as a result, he ran into a retaliatory strike.
Another line of scandal is the aggravation of relations with Europeans at the very moment when talk of transatlantic integration intensified. So Snowden was not a joker in one game, and perhaps not all games we are destined to find out.
And in another respect, Snowden's case was very important. He ripped off the masks from the American IT community as a supposedly distant from the politics of the world of intelligence and business, and from the owners and allegedly creators of the main social networks - as ingenious singles, made their way through talent and luck. Thanks to Snowden's revelations, it turned out that the IT structures - if not the functional organs of the NSA and the military-industrial complex, then junior partners created by the American military sector for their own purposes - are actively working and funded by this sector, in particular by the Defense Agency for advanced research projects - the famous DARPA . And Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Steve Jobs and others are not at all self-made men, successful geniuses confirming the “American dream”, but a product of the activities of the military-industrial complex, special services and the propaganda machine of the USA.
- What is happening with European integration - will Germany be able to continue uniting Europe around itself?
- I think the problems of the European Union will become more and more serious. This ugly and, in my opinion, initially non-viable construction in the form in which it arose, was created as one of the elements of the neoliberal counterrevolution. This project has been completed, and the European Union is torn by sharp contradictions, I’m not even talking about the fact that this is an economic colossus on clay military and political legs. The European Union is unlikely to collapse de jure, but de facto it will have a “Carolingian core” with Germany in the center and an exploited periphery. However, the “core” will also have serious problems associated with an increase in the demographic mass of the African and Arab-Muslim population.
Externally, the main beneficiary of the scam called "European Union" - Germany. Economically, the Germans achieved what Hitler, the creator of the first version of the European Union (in the form of the Third Reich), sought by military-political means. However, if we take into account the degree of control of the United States and American transnational corporations over Germany, which initially arose as an American protectorate on three conditions dictated to Adenauer in the 1949 Chancellor Act of the year (sharply limited German sovereignty), control over German economic, political, and intellectual life about German success getting smaller.
In 1940, Churchill said that Great Britain was at war not with Hitler, and not even with National Socialism, but with the German spirit, the spirit of Schiller, so that it would never be revived. After 1945, the collective West (which includes Israel) managed to drive the Germans, as a nation, a sense of collective guilt for Nazism, spiritually castrate them in many ways and drive them into such a sociocultural position, for the slightest resistance of which the charge was “Nazi”. Compared to this psychohistorical lobotomy, Stalin’s approach looks much more humane: "The Hitlers come and go, but the German people remain." By the way, among the Russians, who suffered the brunt of the Hitler machine and whose victims during the war are not comparable to the victims, I repeat: not a single people, no historical hatred for the Germans, the blame lies on the national socialist regime and those forces in Britain and the US, which brought him to power, preparing aggression with German hands against the USSR.
Today, according to opinion polls, 40% of German men want to be housewives. With such human material it is hardly possible to build the Fourth Reich. History evil laughed at Borman, Muller and Kammler, who created the Fifth Reich network structure in the post-war decades and achieved a lot. Today, German finance and industry are hardly under less US control than in the 1920 – 1930s, when Americans pumped German economy and corporations with money. History repeats itself, but of course it’s different. Today, the situation in Europe can be described according to Gibbon - “Decline and Fall”, “Decline and Fall”, not only of the Roman Empire, but of Europe as a civilization embraced by the will to death.
Compared to Europeans losing religious, cultural and racial-ethnic identity, loss of work ethic, love and taste for work, with the collapse of the family and the legalization of distortions and pathologies (they left to legalize pedophilia and cannibalism), financial and economic problems are flowers, but completely poisonous. I would like to believe that in Europe there will be forces capable of shaking off all this European-bureaucratic undead, necrocracy, profiting from the announced death of an entire civilization.
- How do you assess the immediate prospects of the United States - will their geopolitical and financial problems deepen?
- There is no indication that America’s situation in 2014 will improve. Rotten something in the "kingdom" of the American. Previously, the system worked with any, even weak and not quite adequate presidents, for example, under Ford and Carter, whom other American observers do not call "jerk" other than "jerk". Today, the American system is so weakened that the presence of a weak, one of the weakest presidents in US history, affects the system as a whole. It seems that the American ruling elite, as well as the West European one (just look at all these Blair-Sarkozy-Holland and others), is experiencing an acute crisis and is degrading. This is a very serious problem at the top of the world capitalist class, of its closed supranational structures of world coordination and management.
Well, if the crisis affects the backbone element, then the system is breathing its last. The external military-political expansion of the North Atlantic elites of the last decade is, on the one hand, convulsions, attempts to solve internal problems in this way, and on the other, a desire to correct the crisis situation by establishing control over drug production zones and their transportation routes. Hence, the invasion of Afghanistan, the creation of a Kosovo drug-addict state, and partly the “Arab spring”, it also displays the motives and interests of drug trafficking.
The fact that drug trafficking plays an increasing role in the global economy as a whole, and not only in its criminal segment (about 50% of banks in the world exist at the expense of lending drug trafficking) indicates a serious crisis of this economy and civilization, which created it, if the term “Civilization” is used in this case, rather, it should be about anti-civilization, anti-system. And this anti-system works for the drug economy to the same extent that the drug economy (and the global criminal economy as a whole) works for it.
So, in 2013, in California marijuana was legalized; I think, ahead of the legalization of this, and behind it - and other drugs in other states. Anesthesia of society is one of the indicators of the crisis and at the same time an indicator that the world elite is slowly but surely moving towards the creation of a new, posthuman being, having no gender, nationality, race, historical memory and easily manipulated. Those who try to resist are eliminated.
In 2013, an unprecedented phenomenon occurred in the history of Western civilization: for the first time, the Pope abdicated as a result of the pressure of secular forces. During the year, pressure on the father increased: American high-ranking officials began talking about the need for a “Vatican spring”, and a press campaign was unfolding. In fact, a large part of the world top group jointly opposed the pope. The result is a new dad. The most interesting is his name: Francis. The fact is that the new dad is a Jesuit, and with the Franciscans the Jesuits have long, to put it mildly, complicated relationships. Does the name Francis symbolize reconciliation of opponents in the face of the increasing pressure of the Anglo-Saxons on the Vatican in the struggle for the future? Quite possible. The representatives of the Order of Malta will control the finances under the new pope. This order, hidden in the Harry Potter films, serves as a structure linking the Vatican with the leading Anglo-Saxon special services - MI-6 and the CIA. So an interesting picture is obtained.
- What will be the pace of reconfiguration of the Middle East this year?
- The fact that such plans exist, undoubtedly. But there are several unknowns here: how exactly will the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan take place? Will the US succeed in improving relations with Iran? Will the interested forces succeed in disuniting Syria, and if so, how? But what became clear in 2013 year was the failure of Erdogan’s attempts to turn Turkey into a regional power pole. Erdogan made a gross miscalculation in his Syrian politics. Considering the inevitable overthrow of Assad, Erdogan actively hurried into the camp of his opponents - and miscalculated: Akela missed. To this were added serious internal problems - popular unrest in Istanbul about two sawed trees in the city park - ecology, you understand.
Well, the main external "nail" was hammered overthrow of the Mursi regime in Egypt. Erdogan bet on an alliance with the movement of the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhvanov), on the Istanbul-Cairo axis, which was supposed to reinforce the claims of the Erdogan regime for polarity and which was hardly liked by many, including the Russian Federation and Israel. By the way, information about the participation of the Israeli special services in the preparation of the overthrow of the Egyptian military, led by al-Sisi government ikhvanov led by Mursi is on the Internet. In any case, in the near future, the “polar dreams” of Turkey are not destined to come true.
- Is a sharp aggravation possible already this year of the confrontation between the USA and China in the Pacific region?
- It is difficult to predict such things in a rapidly changing world. Neither the United States nor China is currently interested in confrontation - and this despite the fact that the confrontation persists. Rather, tensions are possible in Sino-Japanese relations.
- Well, the last question: what are the main threats you see for Russia in 2014?
- The main threats to Russia in 2014 were the same as in 2013 — corruption, slower economic growth, increased social polarization, and therefore, popular discontent, especially those who actually voted for Putin. The combination of a “slowdown in economic growth — corruption — an increase in social polarization and tension” creates a vicious circle. Against the background of a decrease in economic growth, the dominant groups are increasingly compensating for their losses by increasing the corruption component, which increases social tensions and further worsens the economic situation. All this is fraught with an aggravation of the social situation, which can be used or even warmed up by external players, especially since there are enough points of vulnerability: the Caucasus, the Volga region, some regions in Siberia, where from time to time there is talk of "Siberian self-sufficiency." Well, of course, much will depend on the situation in the global economy.
In the new year and in the foreseeable future, the struggle in the world top will intensify. The neoliberal counterrevolution is over - forget it. The anti-liberal course and the forces associated with it are gaining momentum. They will try to clean up the beneficiaries of a bygone era, especially the so-called "young money." The confrontation on the world level of supporters of the neoliberal and anti-liberal schemes will undoubtedly be broadcast on the Russian platform, adding intrigue. It will not be boring.
