The Russkies Are Coming! The Russkies Are Coming!

DECADES OF COLD WAR HAVE MADE MANY AMERICANS REFLEXIVELY FEARFUL OF RUSSIA. THEY STILL THINK RUSSIA INTENDS TO DESTROY AMERICA EVEN TODAY. BUT WHERE’S THE EVIDENCE OF THIS?

I have written about Russia and its love of tradition here, its resistance to social Marxism here, and have shown here that in terms of economic policies and social policies, the US is much more socialist than today’s Russia.

The above-linked articles all contain links to evidentiary documentation, but the Russian bashers, who by now run a full-blown cottage industry, brush me off with keen observations like “that’s all nonsense!” In fact, yesterday, one asked “are you a communist?” I responded, “no I am not, but if you are looking for a communist, you might try the Berkley Yellow Pages.”

The more charitable say I am “a sincere patriot but tragically wrong” about Putin, who they declare is “insincere.” Yet, nota bene: I have never argued that Putin was sincere. Are Western politicians sincere?

When I ask how these Russophobes can be sure of Russia’s sinister plans, they say Soviet defector Anatoliy Golitsyn has provided air-tight evidence.

Golitsyn is practically their only link to their airy world of Cold War intrigue and is their most-cited author. Practically everything hinges on Anatoliy. What would they do without him? I bought his book for reference to make sure I wasn’t missing something. Indeed, it turns out that Golitsyn does thoroughly detail the strategies of the Soviet Union and it is hard to doubt his veracity. But there are 2 problems for my Russophobe friends:

1. The outlined “Soviet” strategies are precisely the same disinformation strategies used throughout the West against its own population, and

2. Golitsyn defected in 1962, i.e., 29 years before the fall of the Soviet Union or over 50 years ago today, and considering the vicissitudes of the Politburo from Stalin to Krushchev, for example, it is hard to imagine that the last 29 years would not have seen major changes that Golitsyn could not possibly have been privy to.

When I tell Russia bashers this and ask for further evidence of their theories, they say Golitsyn has made uncanny predictions that all came true, suggesting he is a Russian Edgar Cayce. None of them has yet detailed any of these predictions for me, but I just happened to dig up an old copy of “Origins of the Fourth World War,” written by J.R. Nyquist and first published in 1998. Despite a few brief mentions of the Chinese, it is obvious that the author is wagering on our being conquered by Russia, with little cooperation from China, which we are to believe would apparently sit back and let Russia have us.

But note this:

Page 46 of the paperback says that Anatoliy Golitsyn exposed the Soviet plan to conquer the world and “the target date for achieving this conquest is the year 2000.”

Obviously, Nyquist really believed Russia was about to “conquer” the world in just 2 short years, despite their recent collapse. It reminded me of the Y2K theory.

Now that was 14 years ago and Russia is struggling to hold together the remnants of its empire.

Obviously, something went terribly wrong in 2000. Both for the Soviets and for the Russia bashers.

Beyond these anomalies, there is a bigger issue, and that is the way the much greater Chinese threat is downplayed and ignored.
