99. YEARS SINCE ST. NICHOLAS II AND THE IMPERIAL FAMILY HAD BEEN GUNNED DOWN

Ritual Murder of the Russian Imperial Family 

By Mike Walsh Source

AVERMENT: Before we get started, Liman Guerrilla is totally aware that the guilt for the crime is on individuals who committed it, and can not be broaden nor shared to nor by the whole population of the same nation, religion, or race as some of the criminals might belong. Consequently, for the murder of St. Russian Imperial Family are guilty only and solely those who were involved in this murder, originators, initiators and executors regardless of their nation, religion or race because they did that, not because who they are. The expressions, opinion, sentence terms are personally author's, and I am not necessarily in agreement with them.   Large numbers of people marched near the Russian city of Yekaterinburg before dawn on July 17 to mark the 99th anniversary of the killing by Bolsheviks of Tsar Nicholas II and his family. Marchers carried Russian Orthodox icons and crosses in the procession from the site where Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Aleksandra, and their five children were killed in 1918 — months after the Bolsheviks seized power — to the spot where their bodies were buried.  In 2000, the Russian Orthodox Church canonized Nicholas, Aleksandra, Crown Prince Aleksei, and Grand Princesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia.A procession honoring the royal family has been held in Yekaterinburg each July 17 since then. Russian news agencies said tens of thousands of people marched this year. They included Natalya Poklonskaya — a controversial lawmaker who has aired monarchist views — as well as Romanov relative Olga Kulikovskaya-Romanova and delegations from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and New Zealand. Special services and prayers commemorating the last tsar and his family were held in Orthodox Churches in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and other Russian cities. A substantial majority of Russians consider themselves Orthodox Christians, but surveys show that only a small fraction attend church regularly. [Source: World Tribune]

Colour-Coded Revolutions

by By Andrew Gavin Marshall

The serial of three articles was written and published in 2009. However, it is interesting to read now, after seven years and see if it had lost some of its topicality, bearing in mind all we have learnt during that time.

Introduction

Following US geo-strategy in what Brzezinski termed the “global Balkans,” the US government has worked closely with major NGOs to “promote democracy” and “freedom” in former Soviet republics, playing a role behind the scenes in fomenting what are termed “colour revolutions,” which install US and Western-friendly puppet leaders to advance the interests of the West, both economically and strategically. 

Part 2 of this essay on “The Origins of World War III” analyzes the colour revolutions as being a key stratagem in imposing the US-led New World Order. The “colour revolution” or “soft” revolution strategy is a covert political tactic of expanding NATO and US influence to the borders of Russia and even China; following in line with one of the primary aims of US strategy in the New World Order: to contain China and Russia and prevent the rise of any challenge to US power in the region.

The US’ History Of Regional Revolution Attempts

The most significant destabilizing scenario that could ever occur in Central Asia is an “Arab Spring”-like event that ravages the region and irreversibly upsets its existing political balance. The interesting aspect about this possibility is that it was actually attempted twice before, and furthermore, this was even before the “Arab Spring” ever happened. Before delving into the details and reexamining some overlooked aspects of history, it’s important to remind the reader that the US has always been endeavoring to initiate region-wide transformations of power.

Turkmenistan:

The threat facing Turkmenistan is less of a Color Revolution than an Unconventional War. The catalyst for this conflict would be a terrorist invasion coming from Afghanistan that unexpectedly sweeps northwards along the Murgab River. Such an offensive doesn’t even have to reach the national capital in order to be successful, since all that it really needs to do is capture the city of Mary, the capital of the resource-rich Mary Region. This part of the country contains the lion’s share of Turkmenistan’s gas reserve, which includes the massive and decades-long functioning Dauletabad Field and the newly discovered Galkynysh Field, the latter being the world’s second-largest find.

“The Eurasian Balkans”

As promising of a potential that the Greater Heartland has in fulfilling what seems to be the world’s inevitable multipolar destiny, it runs the risk of being held back by the adroit manipulation of its “Eurasian Balkan” socio-political vulnerabilities. To bring the reader up to speed real quick, this is the idea first espoused by Zbigniew Brzezinski that the mass of territory spanning from North Africa to Central Asia is riskily threatened by large-scale fragmentation along identity-based lines (ethnic, religious, historical, etc.), mirroring on a much larger scale the demographic “irregularities” that intensified the fratricidal Balkan Wars of the early 1990s.

The Crossroads Of The Multipolar World

Halford Mackinder

Redefining The Heartland:

The “Greater Heartland” acquires its premier strategic and economic importance due to being the supercontinental fulcrum of multipolar integration. As was mentioned at the end of Part III, there’s a direct overlap between Russia’s Eurasian Union and China’s New Silk Road, and the countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan presently fall under both connective umbrellas. To those attuned with geopolitical theory, these three states noticeably correlate with the broad territory that early 20^th-century British strategist Halford Mackinder termed the “Heartland”, which he defined as the geopolitical pivot of Eurasia. More contemporary strategists narrowed the region down to the former Soviet Republics of Central Asia, but the author feels that this is presently insufficient to accommodate for the changing dynamics of the evolving world order, and thus proposes a modification of the concept to include Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan as well. This redefined version of Mackinder’s original thesis moves the center of geopolitical gravity in a more southwards direction (by contrast, Mackinder’s broad contours included all of Siberia and most of the Russian Far East) in order to reflect more relevant areas of geopolitical competition between the unipolar and multipolar worlds in the context of the New Cold War.

HYBRID WARS 3. PREDICTING NEXT HYBRID WARS

(Please read Part I and Part II prior to this article)

Theoretical Review

Identifying The Targets:

The first two parts of the series introduced new concepts to the Hybrid War theory and successfully tested them on the Syrian and Ukrainian cases. This proved that a certain methodology does in fact exist for explaining and analyzing Hybrid Wars, and excitingly, this rubric can proactively be applied in attempting to predict the places where this form of post-modern warfare could be directed next. To refer to Part I, one must first recall the Law of Hybrid Warfare:

“The grand objective behind every Hybrid War is to disrupt multipolar transnational connective projects through externally provoked identity conflicts (ethnic, religious, regional, political, etc.) within a targeted transit state.”

HYBRID WARS 2. TESTING THE THEORY – SYRIA & UKRAINE

(Please read ‘Hybrid Wars 1. The Law Of Hybrid Warfare‘ prior to this article)

The author’s book, “Hybrid Wars: The Indirect Adaptive Approach To Regime Change” (available for free PDF download here), thoroughly makes the case that Syria and Ukraine are the US’ first victims of Hybrid War, but the scope of the article is to express how the abovementioned innovations not included in the original publication have been importantly at play all along. The purpose is to prove that the newly discovered facets can seamlessly be interwoven into the overall theory and used to enhance one’s comprehension of it as a result, thus positioning studied observers to more accurately project the future battlegrounds in which Hybrid Wars are most likely to be fought.

This part of the research thus follows the theoretical model that was just set out before it, in that it elaborates on the geostrategic-economic determinants that were behind the Wars on Syria and Ukraine, before touching on the socio-political structural vulnerabilities that the US attempted to exploit to various degrees of success. The last part incorporates the idea of social and structural preconditioning and briefly discusses how it was present in each case.

HYBRID WARS 1. THE LAW OF HYBRID WARFARE

After the Fall of Berlin Wall, the events on global geopolitical scene, have been speeding up, dramatically.  We have witnessed the changes in international relations, that were unimaginable not only to general public, but also to a number of political analysts. The stage that was set up after the WWII, exploded right in our faces at the end of the past and at the beginning of the New Millennium, changing life of millions. The "New World Order", "post-modern states", the "jungle of the countries still living in XIX century" (cit. Sir Robert Cooper "The post-modern state and the world order"), all the geopolitical strategic points of view promoting the international relations based on double standards, force, preemptive attack, deception, and most of all limits on states sovereignty imposed by "post-modern" states to "jungle" countries are our everyday life, now. The "new" view appears to be an old one. Second millennium, at its very start, reintroduced the relations known at the start of previous one. There is The Rome, and the barbaric world outside of its limes. In that uni-polar World, the Rome had all the power to impose its will on barbarians using the methods listed above, in the name of "civilization", but in real, grabbing resources, and melting or destroying other societies.
