A FOREIGN AFFAIRS LETTER

A British a hority wrote in the London DAILY TELEGRAPH of December 1 1978 : "It would be wrong to lay all the blame for what is hap ing on the Shah or his immediate associates, serious tho h their failings may have been . Western countries, . Teheran in particul America, but also Britain, France, West Germany *Qum For years they have piled and Japan, ve a lot to answer for . ;-PERSIA erything the Shah asked for, regardless of the in to sell capacity of ersia to absorb the very latest weapons or modern They either did not bother to find out, or more technology . likely did t want to know what disruption to the social fabric the Shah's ash program was causing - disruption which, as we now see too ate, made the present crisis inevitable ." What the Britisher d not mention was President Carter's share of personal responsibility for what is happening, but we shall return to that later . Before his eyes was the example of King THE SHAH HAD NO CHOICE . He is no fool . from Amanullah of Afghanistan, driven his throne on January 14, 1929, just fifty years ago, for trying to bring his country into the twentieth century against the wishes of religious fanatics . There was no enemy at the door when Amanullah tried to modernize Afghanistan . Averell Harriman was barely keeping Soviet Russia on her feet and Britain was the uncontested protector of the Persian Gulf . But in 1967 Britain withdrew from Aden and the Persian gulf - was driven from there by a crusade against colonialism which American labor leaders were financing and agitating, to put it more correctly . With the British gone, the Shah had no choice but to pick up the burden they were laying down . No one else was going to . Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, who mounted the throne in 1941, searched the map for allies he could count on if Iran and the sea link between the oil states and the Indian Ocean were threatened . There were none . He determined to make Iran the fifth most powerful nation of the world, capable of blocking a Russian advance until the West should realize to what extent her own interests were threatened and come to his aid . This meant the encroachment of modern, It necessitated an army of 250,000 men supported centralized government and reform . policemen . It meant the spending of a fifth of his oil 500,000 gendarmes and by revenues - between 5 and 7 billion dollars - on sophisticated weapons, industrialization and all the technological advances a backward clergy, wanting to return to the old days of theocratic law when they were the bosses, would oppose . A head-on conflict was inevitable . Ninety-three percent of Iran's 33 million people belong to the Shi'ite sect, a sect so fanatical that each year during the four-week period of Moharrem, mourning the death of the Caliph Ali 1317 years ago, frenzied Iranians flagellate themselves and each other . Playing on this fanaticism the Shi'ite clergy has exercised a tyranny over the masses which no secular leader has ever known . In their short-sightedness the external Russian menace was non-existent . All that

mattered was the threat to their authority, the modernization, the land reforms which dispossessed the sect of its great estates, and the Shah's naming of a woman to be a government minister in charge of women's affairs . On the far left were the students who became allies of the backward clergy the moment the Shah's modernization and defense program became an obstacle to the Russians . These are Moscow's foot soldiers in every country in the West . They were powerful enough to make America accept defeat in Vietnam and ignorant enough to care not a whit for the consequences . In the hatred of the Shah which had been instilled in them, they preferred to be under communist rule than the government they had, and because they were students any measure to keep them in line brought their parents and a fatuous world to their defense . The bigoted clergy and communized students were ready and waiting when an American President began making windy speeches on "the new freedoms," which mullahs and students translated as marching orders . Then came President Carter's New Year's eve visit to Teheran at the end of 1977, when, without any idea of the problems his host was facing or the monster he was conjuring from the vase, the American President took it upon himself to force the Iranian government to loosen its grip, a move which opened the floodgates . A year after the American President told Iran's Shah how to run his house This is how the only barrier between the Arab oil states the whole edifice crumbled . and a Russian advance was destroyed . MR. PEREGRINE WORSTHORNE, OF THE LONDON SUNDAY TELEGRAPH , is one of the best political analysts of our day . On December 17, 1978, he explained how the Shah was thrust into "It was Britain's sudden assuming the burden which forced him to arm and modernize . and dramatic loss of nerve after the second world war" which resulted in "the eventual scuttle from Aden and the Persian Gulf," Mr . Worsthorne wrote . He was being charitable . Mr . Irving Brown, America's roving troublemaker on the labor front, had the weight of the monster International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) behind him and was determined to run the British out . $15 million of American unionized workman's dues were poured into the ICFTU between 1949 and 1965 (TIME, March 26, 1965) to form a borderless labor union empire within which any national union could challenge its government . Mr . Brown was determined to "liberate" Aden and place in power a man named Abdullah Alasnag's Alasnag, whom he and American labor leaders had selected and trained . (ATUC), which by being a labor union political party was the Aden Trade Union Congress to a halt with impunity . could bring the wheels of the country The ICFTU press and radio report of January 8, 1963, called on the world's labor unions to take action against Britain, for having attempted to protect the Persian Gulf, by arresting Alasnag on charges of sedition . By that time Irving Brown, the ubiquitous labor agitator, was AFL-CIO representative to the ICFTU and ICFTU representative to U .N . His power was immense . Again and again America's labor columnist, Victor Riesel, wrote approvingly of the "global labor union" which "Detroit's fiery redhead, Walter Ruether, was putting together from his headquarters in Frankfurt's new international hotel ." On November 26, 1964, Riesel went into raptures over Reuther's meeting with the leaders of automobile workers' unions from 27 nations "in a key step towards a new world-girdling unionism ." No one but a labor boss could have poked his nose into countries where he had no business and announced that he was forming a globe-spanning organization powerful enough that a push of a button in Detroit would touch off trouble around the world . Had it been anyone but a union leader Victor Riesel would have had the integrity to point out that the influence of the troublemaker in the red bloc was nil and that only the free world nations would he ever hold to ransom .

The liberal press and all its columnists were just as silent when Irving Brown was sowing revolution in the colonies of our allies prior to Russia's taking them over . So we find the December 19, 1975 TIMES of London laying the troubles of the Peoples' Democratic Republic of Yemen, of which Aden is the capital, to "a large government deficit, aggravated by a British decision to raise salaries immediately before independence ." The truth is, the British were blackmailed into raising salaries because Irving Brown's unceasing strikes gave them no peace until the salaries were raised . Thus, in the end the Shah was not only forced to take on protection of the non-communist Arab world and its water ways, threatened by countries which Irving Brown's liberation movements had cleared for communist penetration . The Shah was loved by his people when Iran's march to greatness began and it was no coincidence that the alliance of communist students on the left and a narrow clergy on the right did not raise its head until he became an obstacle to Russia's plans . When he took on the responsibility Britain had been harassed into dropping, the Shah did not have the oil resources which were to come at a later date . This meant that to introduce his crash program of modernization and everything the fanatical mullahs and dedicated communists hated, he needed American aid . To get it he had to take on an American law firm with relations to a certain senator and give it a sizable cut . Then he had to hire Marian Javitz, the wife of Senator Jake Javits, as an agent at a tremendous salary . When President Kennedy sent one of his "peaceful revolution" boys on a fact-finding "Break up the big estates or no money ." This trip to Iran, the Shah was told : alienated powerful families as well as the wealthy Shi'ite sect and planted the seeds of trouble . President Carter's speeches, made for the sake of minority votes at home, came as a follow-up punch with the weight of an American ultimatum . Yet, the President neither considered the communist menace nor had any knowledge of the Moslem world in which he was meddling . AS IRAN'S OIL PROFITS INCREASED THE RUSSIAN SHADOW GREW . When the Shah built factories, refineries, roads and sea and air fleets to protect the oil lanes, Russia stepped up her boring from within and the formation of SAVAK, the secret police, became a necessity . If Saudi Arabia attempted to buy planes and weapons to protect herself against the hard-line Arab states which the Russians were arming, a cry went up from pro-Israel citizens in America and the press . Yet the Saudi rulers were America's friends . Iran supplied 80% of Israel's oil, yet the senators most favorable to Israel at election time fought to prevent the Shah from purchasing seven four-motor Boeing AWAC flying radar planes, the sophisticated and costly defense aircraft which would enable him to detect a military invasion at any altitude . On December 29 Iranian strikers offered to renew oil production for home consumption but none must be exported to Israel . At last the truth was out . President Carter's famous "Presidential memorandum No . 10" foresaw NATO's abandonment of a third of West Germany, including Hamburg and Munich, in the event of a Warsaw Pact attack . Chapter three of the same memorandum predicted that in the course of the The warnings were 1980s the Persian Gulf may become the trouble spot of the world . in a race with time. too clear to be ignored . The Shah was THERE WERE ALSO INTERNAL FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED . Over a million Afghans working in Iran's expanding industry and along the country's 1,600-mile common border with Russia represented a potential fifth column after the Afghan coup d'Etat of April 27, 1978 .

On the Russian side of the border Moscow massed a Persian-speaking division . Groups of Russian civilians capable of mixing with the Iranian community were installed at strategic entry points . In his desperate need of men capable of handling the sophisticated equipment he was bringing in, the Shah had sent over a hundred thousand students abroad . They were to form the backbone of the new Iran and assure her defenses against Russia in the north and east and Iraq in the west . He learned, like Norodom Sihanouk, that students sent to Moscow come home anti-communist, while those educated in France and America return indoctrinated by leftist professors and eager to serve as links between comrades abroad and the Communist Party at home . Western universities have become the meeting grounds of the world's future communist leaders . In the present strikes and riots in Iran one of the first things Prime Minister General Gholam Azhari noticed was that the student leaders came from poor families but had automobiles with which to distribute their leaflets and brochures . The strikers when asked, individually, why they were paralyzing the oil industry admitted that they had been threatened with reprisals when the Ayatollah Khomeini returns from France . Messengers of the Ayatollah boast that communications between them and Neauphle-leChateau are more rapid than those of the Shah with his embassy in Paris . THROUGH IT ALL THE NEWSPAPERS OF THE WEST REMAIN ANTI-SHAH . With the possible exceptions of Chile and South Africa, Iran has been subjected to the most vicious fusillade The professors and editors supporting the of invective and calumny in the world . communist rioters in Iran are concerned with the fate of Israel, yet they continued Surely they knew to attack the Moslem ruler supplying Israel with 80% of her oil . that Israel's oil would be lost, along with the Iranian buffer between the conservative states and the Russian-backed hard-liners, if the Shah's government should fall . It makes no sense . It should have come as a surprise to no one to learn that Mr . RalphSchoenman, the American leftist who helped Bertrand Russdll set up the "war crimes trial" against America, in Roskilde, Denmark, in December 1967, is in Iran, leading Iran's "American Committee for Artistic and Intellectual Freedom" in the fight to destroy the Shah . (Schoenman was barred from Britain in March 1968 when Judge David Pennant granted a divorce to the wife Schoenman had married in order to obtain a residence permit . (Judge Pennant discreetly described the grounds as "eccentricities such as refusing to wash and bathe and having replaced his wife by a dog and by a man in his most intimate activities .") As of this writing, the Shah is the man in the middle, between lavishly financed groups on the far left and an even more destabilizing movement on the theocratic right . Not all of the religious leaders are blind to the fact that if the throne falls there can be no winners . On December 11, at the height of the great mourning period, the Ayatollah of Meshed, in the northeast where he was closer to Russia, declared before thousands of worshippers that the Caliph Ali and Hossain, the founder of the Shia sect, had appeared to him in a vision and proclaimed that the principal enemy is not the Emperor but the communists and that Khomeini has made a pact with the devil . A local reaction appeared in Meshed for the Shah but it sputtered out without reaching the nation as a whole . For the West the danger is compounded by Turkey's slide towards Soviet Russia as a result of America's senseless arms embargo, levied to gain Greek votes for Congressmen as short-sighted as the Ayatollah Khomeini - politicians in Indiana, Maryland and Michigan .

RUSSIA'S LEONID BREZHNEV DECLARED TO PRESIDENT SIAD BARRE, OF SOMALIA , before the break between the two countries : "Persia is proving a hard nut to crack, but we are working on it and may succeed sooner than anyone suspects ." Since then the coup in Afghanistan has brought Russian tanks within 300 miles of the eastern bank of the Straits of Hormuz which control the entrance to the Persian Gulf . Labor unrest fomented by Irving Brown and ICFTU, as we have previously mentioned, brought the Russians, East Germans and Cubans into South Yemen, 500 miles from the Western bank . Before the pincer closes we should contemplate the role hatred has played in motivating the actions of the Shia bishop (Ayatollah) serving Brezhnev's interests under the favorable conditions which the American President brought about through his pressure on the Shah . THE WORD AYATOLLAH MEANS "CHOSEN OF ALLAH ." Ruhallah Khomeini, the principal actor exploiting this religious rank in the Iranian drama was exiled in 1963 when the army put down a revolt he headed because of the land reform . He went to Najaf, in pro-communist Iraq, and continued to issue calls for insurrection, less out of loyalty to the old Khajar dynasty which had ruled since 1794 and was voted out by the Mejlis (Parliament) in November 1925, than out of hatred of the Pahlavis . In 1977 the Shah ordered an investigation of corruption within the extremely rich church, and Shi'ite Moslems were sent into streets again wherever they were . Khomeini's son was killed in a demonstration in Baghdad . Many believe it was a "dirty tricks" assassination carried out by the Iraqi secret service to incite the Iranian Shi'ites against Iraq's enemy, the Shah . If so, the plot was successful . In March of 1978 President Carter's "New Freedom" speeches came as a shot in the arm for the plotters in Iran and revolt broke into the open with impunity . Khomeini seized on the opportunity to settle personal scores - . SAUDI ARABIA KNOWS THAT THE FLAMES CAN SPREAD . They have also been forced to modernize and arm . Some 75,000 of their own students are receiving training abroad and with it indoctrination . Prince Faisal bin Musaid, they will never forget, returned from his political science course at University of California in Berkeley, under Professor Paul Seabury and the ex-CIA leftist, R . Harris Smith, and shot his uncle, the King . There are around seven million people in Saudi Arabia, of whom two million at least are non-Saudis . Some are from Yemen and about 800,000 are Palestinians representing a fifth column into which Libyans, Arab hard-liners and Soviet agents may slip . Saudi Arabian leaders and Emirs from the gulf states watch the effects of the constant flow of incendiary tape-recordings which the Ayatollah sends from France and the picture is not pleasant to contemplate . Pierre de Villemarest, one of the foremost political analysts in Europe, made the trek out to Neauphle-le-Chateau to talk to the powerful Khomeini and as long as he stuck to the banal written questions which the Ayatollah had had time to study, the conversation went smoothly . When Pierre asked : "How are you going to solve the economic crisis into which you have plunged the country through your agitation of these past few weeks? How do you expect the country to get back on its feet if you expel the foreign technicians, or if you return to your opposition to agrarian reform? And aren't you afraid that when the present regime is destroyed you will be outpaced by a party as tightly-knit and well organized as the Tudeh?" (The communists) There was no reply . The Ayatollah is tired ." interpreter, who was not Iranian, rose and said, "The

IRAQ IS NOT WHOLLY PLEASED WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING . Iraq's invisible government is the inner core of the Ba'ath Party, and in October it decided it was time for Khomeini to move elsewhere . His tape-recorded sermons of hate could backfire . What if General Mustapha Barzani, the leader of Iraq's rebellious 'urds should begin sending tape-recordings from Iran and the Shah should start parachuting arms? Iraq placed the Ayatollah under house arrest while the anti-Shah Iranian community in France set up the new headquarters in Neauphle-le-Chateau . One may ask why the French permitted Khomeini to continue sending messages from French soil calling on the Iranian Army to revolt and urging students to cry "Death to the Shah?" To this every shade of the French political spectrum has its own answer . French services quickly verified that Libya, Iraq and Russia were providing money . Young Iranians, members of the Tudeh Party, made up Khomeini's secretariat in France . Working in cooperation with the French Communist Party they provided couriers to pass his orders and tapes into Iran . Their sympathizers in Britain turned the BBC (British Broadcsting Corporation) into a propaganda organ, yet both governments remained apathetic . FOR THE MULLAHS WHAT IS GOING ON IS A LIFE AND DEATH STRUGGLE . Should Iran become a secular, western-type society the wealth and authority of the Shi'ite clergy will be lost forever . Russia sees Iran as the battlefield which will tip the scale in favor of world revolution, and a backward fanatic who has been out of his country for fifteen years seems likely to swing the balance in Russia's favor . When President Carter's speeches convinced Tudeh and the Shi'ites that he was with them no one told him he was fanning a dormant fire in a volatile country where only one Shah has died naturally, on his throne, in the past two hundred years . Perhaps the most stupid American move of all was when Secretary of the Treasury William E . Simon declined to visit Iran in July 1974 . "The Shah is a nut," the Associated Press quoted Simon as saying, in a report out of Washington dated July 15, 1974, and reprinted throughout the Moslem world . True, the Shah was committing the unpardonable . He was arming to protect his country and the West against Russian domination of the crossroads between the Occident and the East .

How will the U S fare in 1979?

AS JANUARY WENT ITS WAY Hanoi repeated in Cambodia the phoney "Vietcong" ruse it used against America in Vietnam . The most sensible observation on the plight of the Cambodians, as their fate was decided by powers beyond their control, came out of England . A Sunday Telegraph editor put it : "When peace is hell, war is no worse ." This was only one of the presages of ill omen as the world faced 1979 . AMERICA'S DECISION TO DROP TAIWAN AND TAKE UP PEKING , the London Daily Telegraph of December 20, 1978, stated, was caused by "the eagerness of big business interests to get in on the multi-billion dollar industrialization programs planned by Vice-Premier Teng Hsiao-ping for the so-called great leap forward ." In plain English, to sell China products to copy and machines with which to manufacture them, so that Asian cheap labor may crowd America and the West out of still more markets after the short-term profit is realized . "Carter administration spokesmen admit that the United States has received no written or even secret pledges from the Peking regime that it will not move militarily at some stage to reunite Taiwan with mainland China," the same journal declared . . Shakespeare put it well when he wrote : "When troubles come they come not single spies but in battalions ." EVENTS IN IRAN proved the validity of Edmund Burke's observation that when subjects are rebels by nature rulers will be tyrants from policy . The prerequisite for poisoning public opinion against a ruler is to be able to portray him as a tyrant . And to fit him in the role of tyrant one first incites his subjects to a point where he has to protect the state and himself . To prepare public opinion in the west for betrayal of an ally, it is next necessary to portray him as rich . This is the politics of envy . Mr . Eldon Griffiths, Chairman of the British-Iranian Parliamentary Group in the House of Commons, wrote on September 22, 1978 : "Iran under a leader who is conscious of the need to carry more and more of his people with him in the process of modernization is infinitely more attractive than an Iran in chaos - which at present is the only alternative . There is danger that Iran will fall ; that near-communism or near-chaos will replace the present embattled (and embarrassed) regime . But let no one imagine that such an outcome would help the Western world . It is in the interests of Britain, Europe and the United States that the Shah should remain - and gradually transform his country into a freer and more prosperous society . No one else at present is in any position to do this ." By January 1979 Iran was past the state of near chaos . Character assassination and envy played a large part . To those working for the Shah's destruction it should have been apparent that victory by the joint forces of the fanatical Ayatollah Khomeini and communist-incited students would push Iran back into the darkness of Koranic law and, from there to communism, leaving Israel as vulnerable as the Persian Gulf . Cyrus Vance did not want to provoke the Russians, to whom anything short of self-abasement is

February, 1979

provocation . When George Ball advised the President to wash his hands of the Shah without considering the consequences he was not acting out of ignorance . When President Carter accepted that advice he was acting as one would expect of a man elected because he would be a new face in Washington . Nothing in his past enabled him to see the tempest he was creating . Many now ask : "Why did U . S . Ambassador William Sullivan urge the Shah to turn the country over to chaos?" The answer is : He was told to . The army begged the Shah to stay, knowing his departure would mean the army's dismantlement . Now who is going to protect the oil states, the little islands of the Persian Gulf, and the Ormuz Straits which in enemy hands can strangle the West? Saudi Arabia with her .75,000-man army and her labor force packed with Palestinians? The ultra-secret electronic devices which served as America's ears along the border with Russia are now in cases in the port of Bandar Shapour . Where can America install them next? Our meddling was clumsy . First we infuriated religious fanatics and communists by declaring, without conviction, that we were behind the Shah, then we encouraged them by telling him to go . Two years from now the student mobs shouting for their s,,-'ereign's death will wish they had him back . Nature hates a political vacuum, and what happens will be worse . SUCH WAS THE CLIMATE IN IRAN when President Carter dispatched Air Force General Robert Huyser, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of U . S . Forces in Europe, to urge Iranian military leaders to get behind the Shapour Bakhtiar and call for the Shah's departure . In December Mr . George Ball was, by assignment from President Carter, made a "special adviser on Iranian affairs" and sent to Teheran to urge the Shah to leave . Mr . Ball, member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a Bilderberger, a leader in the anti-victory movement in Vietnam, and one of the architects of our disastrous policy in Katanga, is foremost among the planners who have worked to internationalize American trade and commerce as a prelude to merging our economy with that of other nations, meaning Europe's Common Market . As an adviser on Iranian affairs he has all the qualifications of Billy Carter . The New York Times reported as far back as March 26, 1968, that "Mr . George Ball, former Under Secretary of State and now an International Banker, has proposed that the United States redirect its foreign policy towards the achievement of a new world balance . . . . . .A future power balance composed of the U . S ., the Soviet Union, a unified Europe and Japan ." What is this but the Trilateral Commission : America and Japan enjoying special relationship with a united Europe and the three working out trade relations with COMECON, the Soviet trading group? AUX ECOUTES, the French political and diplomatic weekly, of March 31, 1966, thirteen years ago, pointed out that during Mr . Ball's former residence in Paris as an international lawyer he had developed a close friendship and collaboration with Monsieur Jean Monnet, the father of the European Common Market, with whose economy and new currency the CFR and Trilateral Commission hope to merge our own, after devaluating the American dollar . On November 29, 1974, the TIMES of London carried Mr . Ball's call for the U . S . to include the Soviet Union in our Middle East negotiations and give detente its real test by permitting the Soviet Union to use its influence with the Arab governments on the side of moderation . When did the Soviet Union ever work for moderation? When he was sent to urge the Shah's departure, Mr . Ball must have known his mission was In sum, to insure domination of the to help Moscow destroy Iran as a military power . Middle East by the power he urged us to take into our Middle East negotiations . To diverge a bit, let us take a look at some of the known but never published (at least in America) facts about the "unification" Jean Monnet put over in Europe and which General William "Wild Bill" Donovan sold Americans through his AMERICAN COMMITTEE ON UNITED EUROPE office at 537 Fifth Avenue, New York City, from 1949 onward . MONNET'S COMMON MARKET MOVEMENT for which Averell Harriman, Robert Murphy and John McCloy provided American funds, was pre-dated by a society more secret than the Grand In 1922, two years after the founding of the French Communist Orient Masonry of France . Party and while Monnet was Assistant Secretary-General of the League of Nations, an exdeputy named Gaston Martin formed a conspiratorial group called the "martinists" comamong posed of select members of the French masonry who were sworn to secrecy, even

February, 1979

Page - 3-

fellow members of their lodge . The martinists saw themselves as an international elite which would dominate Europe behind the mask of a European federalism and in time form a world government, ruled by planners referred to as "synarchistes ." One of the most interesting aspects of the blueprint of this conspiratorial movement is its preparatory stage, known as the invisible revolution , for the formation of a new world order . The old turbulent methods were out-dated . "Our method of invisible revolution and the techniques, strategies and tactics of revolution through dispersed steps have been elaborated to reduce as much as possible the violence and rioting which is inevitable when the idea reaches the masses directly and is degraded by passion," went the martinist outline . It continued : "Revolution in the street is either a spontaneous manifestation of popular sentiment or the violence of factions . In either case it leads to anarchy . It is revolution from the bottom . We want nothing of revolution in the streets, for we intend to make revolution from the top ." The memory of Kennedy's "peaceful revolution" comes to mind, and the years when George Ball was a Kennedy adviser, as one studies the program for revolution through propaganda and the manipulating of public opinion through a secret phase which exponents of invisible government visualized fifty-seven years ago . If the European one-worlders wanted no confrontation with incited masses for themselves, they regarded chaos elsewhere as a must . For violence was needed elsewhere to show those reluctant to surrender sovereignty what they would be spared if they would accept the federalism of the planners . Well-meaning westerners should remember, two years from now, that Ambassador William Sullivan, General Robert Huyser and Carter emissary George Ball advised the Shah to leave Iran in the hands of the mob and urged the Iranian army not to lift a hand . If the army remains obedient to Bakhtiar, when Bakhtiar ceases to be Iran's leader it will cease to be an army . While the harm was being done it was inexcusable that no one in Washington recognized the power of the Shi'ite hierarchy to create discontent and channel it into the course desired by Russia . Whether the Shiites were infiltrated or in their blind fanaticism saw Russia as a helping friend is a moot question. The overall result is Iran's destruction as Iraq and Syria unite to form a single hardline power threatening Saudi Arabia and all of the moderate Arab states . RUSSIA HAS LONG HAD HER EYES ON TABRIZ , the capital of Azerbaijan, between Iran, Russia and the Caspian Sea . Russia occupied Tabriz from 1941 to 1945, and tried to hold it on the pretext that the Shah's father had been pro-German . Forgotten was the fact that it was through no wish of Stalin that Russia ceased to be Hitler's ally . Churchill's accord with Stalin called for Russian withdrawal from Iran, and the West and enough strength at the time to force Stalin to keep his word . But before pulling out the Russians set up a "Popular Republic of Azerbaijan," which Iran had to subdue by force . This pocket of northern Iranian communism will now be Moscow's foot in the door . Azerbaijan will call for comradely help and the Russian tanks will come . IRAN CAN BE WRITTEN OFF AND TURKEY IS AT THE CROSSROADS . Two ways are open to Turkey : The atheism of Ataturk, whose aim was to make Turkey a western nation, or the Pan Islamization of the old Ottoman Empire . Turkey also has her Shi'ite moslems, known as Alevites and forming about a quarter of the population . The other three-quarters belong to the Sunni branch of Islam . Both Shi'ites and Sunnis may unite in an Islamic renaissance and join the Russian-inspired crusade against the West . The first order issued by Iran's new council under Shapour Bakhtiar was that exports of oil to Israel as well as South Africa would cease . This should make the pro-Israel politicians and editors who harped on the Shah's wealth and repressive rule begin to have second thoughts . IN CAMBODIA : As the movement against the Pahlavi dynasty gained momentum in Iran, the revolutionaries who deposed Norodom Sihanouk and were turned into beasts of burden, if they were permitted to live, were wishing with all their hearts that Norodom (whose name means "the lion-hearted" in Sanskrit) were back on his throne . Now that Norodom has been released from his palace prison, a few words on this agile prince and his enemies are in order . Norodom once told a friend, "As long as I have cards I shall maneuver . I'll play a little bit on the left and then a little on the right . When I have no more cards

I'll stop ." He predicted that the U . S . was too far away, that a day would come when America would drop her friends in Asia . He confided to a French diplomat, "I know that in the end Cambodia will be swallowed by China . All I can do is play for time and pretend to be a friend of Mao ." The Khmer Rouge, who killed between two and three million people in Cambodia began as a group of seven students whom French communists had taken in hand . At night they met in a small apartment on the Rue du Commerce, in Paris . In 1952 they wrote a letter to Sihanouk, announcing that they would fight him to the death and destroy the monarchical system . Seven years later, in early 1959, backed by CIA and with 400 pounds of American-supplied gold bars for bribing the army, they almost succeeded . Sihanouk played America against France to gain independence . Then he played Hanoi against Saigon and the Khmer Rouge against Washington . In 1966 he told Chester Bowles he "would not object to the U . S . engaging in hot pursuit in unpopulated areas of Cambodia ." In his book "Promises to Keep" Mr . Bowles explained that the military were pressing for an invasion of Cambodia, with Norodom's approval and cooperation, but key people in the State Department did not want Cambodia saved, so Mr . Bowles' mission was to thwart the Pentagon and this he succeeded in doing for two years . Even when the invasion occurred the American people were never told of Norodom's original approval, while James Reston's torrent of invectives hit our soldiers and our government for trying to save the lives of American soldiers . When a coup d'etat deposed him on March 17, 1970, Norodom Sihanouk joined the Red Khmers who had been fighting him, thinking he could ride the wave and save his throne . He and the Khmer Rouge detested each other, but Peking supported Sihanouk, and though they cursed him between their teeth the red leaders had to pretend to accept him . Sihanouk's high point of courage came when the Lon Nol government began to fall . He was brave It was a desperate race . If enough to try to get to Phnom Penh before the Red Khmers . he could beat the men in black pajamas his prestige with the masses was still great enough that he could be in power when they arrived, able to demand recognition as the His partisans joined in the attempt to outpace the legitimate ruler of the country . The Khmer Rouge saw that men from the forest and install themselves in the lion's den . Five days ahead of schedule they Sihanouk was trying to rob them of their victory . entered Phnom Penh on April 17, 1975, and sent automobiles with loud speakers through the streets, calling on Sihanouk's supporters to put on their best clothes and go to the airport to welcome him. It was a trap set for the country's elite . Those who went to the airport were massacred . The inhabitants of Phnom Penh, suspected of loyalty to their former king, were killed on the spot or herded into the country to die,killed outright or worked to death in the fields . Pol Pot, the leader in hiding since the Cambodian invasion is believed to be a Chinese who assumed a Vietnamese name, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ieng Sary, whom the Thais helped flee to Peking, is Cambodians claim both are under the influence of thought to be a renegade Vietnamese .

Playing his last card, Norodom took up the challenge . If he can get the Vietnamese out after they have destroyed the men in black pajamas he thinks there is a sporting chance that he can return .

He had his chance to put his case before Americans in November 1969, when I asked him to permit me to bring Governor George Wallace to Phnom Penh on our Asian tour . Norodom was wooing America at the time, and he replied that he would be happy to receive Governor Wallace if President Nixon would give his accord . There was no reply to the request for Nixon's approval, and the official in the American embassy in Bangkok was arrogant when asked for aid . Part of the tragedy of this latest act in Hanoi's plan of conquest is that one of the men who foresaw it, General Paul Vanuxem, never lived to see his predictions come true . On Sunday, January 7, at the very moment when Hanoi forces were entering Phnom Penh, General Paul Vanuxem, who fought to the last for non-communist Indo-China, was dying in the Val du Grace Hospital in Paris . GENERAL VANUXEM was a fighter who worked to the very last for American victory . He knew that America could win and refused to believe that she would let South Vietnam go under . Vanuxem was in Saigon when the city fell, and Hanoi officials promptly expelled him . They had never forgiven the men who, with a small handful of troops, 80% of them montagnards whom he had trained himself, defeated 20,000 crack soldiers of the Hanoi army supported by four battalions of mobile artillery, in the eight-day battle of Vinh Yen which commenced on January 13, 1951 . Vanuxem was born on July 22, 1904 and after graduating from the French Military Academy he became an officer in the reserve and a professor of philosophy . World War II called him back to the army and he charged at the head of his men to drive the Germans from the Italian town of Lenola . When not fighting, Vanuxem was a professor ; in battle he was merciless - a general who had no fear of Giap's human ants . His Muong assault forces fought like the Vietminh, breaking into small groups as mobile as the Viets themselves, then reforming two hours later at a predetermined point fifteen miles away to hit the elite 316th Division which he defeated twice, or the feared 308th which he drove back to Vinh Yen . The morale of Mobile Group No . 3 was at its lowest point when he took over on January 1, 1951 . Vanuxem saw that a net was closing around him and called for reinforcements . De Lattre de Tassigny, the new commander in Indo-China, said the attack was going to come elsewhere, and accused Vanuxem of being taken in . The Vietminh were everywhere, even penetrating Vanuxem's autopark without destroying a car, as though they expected to seize the lot and wanted it undamaged . Vanuxem recognized all the warning signs of an impending offensive but no one would Strong listen to him, and when it came it came with violence over a 70-mile front . The war surplus British artillery point after strong point fell, but Vanuxem held out . de Lattre grudgingly sent him had arrived, but not the shells, and with the front breaking around him Vanuxem fell back on Vinh Yen to take the brunt . Wave after wave of Vietminh wiped out two-thirds of his forces as the remnants of loyal Muongs made their way in small groups to the citadel northwest of Hanoi . There the Survivors described Vinh Yen debris of the third Mobile Group was surrounded, cut off . hospital than a fort . Still Vanuxem more of a morgue or a makeshift as a hollow shell, divisions and Hanoi were All stood between Giap's massed kept on fighting . that weary stragglers . Vanuxem's Not by so much as a change of expression did de Lattre give a hint that the brutal onslaught had caught him by surprise when it came in the one place where no preparations had been made in spite of all Vanuxem's pleas . A forty-eight hour airlift began . Men, arms, munitions and shells for the out-dated British artillery were parachuted . For the first time Vo nguyen Giap was risking his entire army in an open battle, and the story of Vanuxem's victory against overwhelming

odds is one of the most glorious episodes of the French war in Indo-China . An excellent account of it, and the conduct of the Muongs whom Vanuxem regarded as his children is found in Lucien Bodard's 813-page book L'AVENTURE - de Lattre et les Viets ." Pierre Darcourt tells the story of the same battle in "DE LATTRE AU VIETNAM, Une Annee des Victoires," which will come as a surprise to readers who for 20 years were told that everything the French did was wrong but that we were fighting to win . By the time the war in Algeria started Vanuxem was then a general of division, holder of 27 citations including Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor, the Croix de Guerre and the Cross of Military Valor . He was imprisoned by de Gaulle, and charged with being the commander of the Secret Army Organization in France, under the code name "Verdun ." Vanuxem offered as proof of his innocence the claim that if he had been "Verdun" the officers in revolt would have won . On September 8, 1963, after two years in prison, he walked out, a free man . Then began his career as a writer, fighting for American victory in Vietnam . One of his books was "L'Espoir i Saigon" - Hope in Saigon . To the very end he refused to believe that America would not win, for he knew America could win and that we were deliberately fighting a no-win war was unimaginable to the victor of Vinh Yen, who never read the writings of James Reston and C . L . Sulzberger . His wife, the red cross nurse who parachuted into the jungle in Indo-China, speaks excellent English, and would be an inspiration to American patriots, as a sad 1979 starts with a crumbling of the West on all its fringes, and only a promise of more disasters to come . It is not going too far to say that 1979 may decide the fate of America and the West, as leaders selected on the basis of whether or not they had ever been to Washington sign their names to vital decisions .

A CHANGING MIDDLE EAST

The London DAILY TELEGRAPH of February 13, 1979, put it simply and honestly : "President Carter, whose lukewarm support and sanctimonius preachings on human rights were largely responsible for the Shah's loss of control, has now been quick to offer to work with the Ayatollah for a 'stable and independent Iran .' He might have waited until the killing had stopped and full control established ." British appraisal of the Carter role was certainly correct and Carter's haste in offering to work with the man tearing Iran asunder was in contradiction to all the norms of common decency, but let us be realistic . How does one "work" with a man hostile to all western interests, a proven trouble-maker motivated by hate, an enemy of stability and moderation? And what sensible head of State waits for the killing to stop and full control to be established when any leader, unless he was ignorant or being programmed by conspirators, should have known that the religious fanatic fronting for hard-core revolutionaries was never going to establish full control? Control in Iran will eventually pass to the mobs Leonid Brezhnev armed after the Ayatollah sent an emissary to meet him in Sophia on January 16 to beg for Soviet aid in forming a people's militia . BREZHNEV'S ACCORD WITH THE AYATOLLAH was not for the purpose of putting a leader of one of the narrowest sects on earth in political power ; it was to help him destroy the power in place . Moscow was only too happy to provide a gun for every Iranian willing to cause disruption and to continue doing so until the leaders whom red agents had been training for years are in full control . By then the Ayatollah will have served his purpose . There was an air of jubilation in Moscow's Literatournaya Gazeta of January 31 as the Kremlin announced that negotiations with Saudi Arabia were in the works . A frightened Middle East watched with disbelief as Brezhnev warned President Carter against intervening in Iran and at the same time beamed Iranian-language broadcasts around the clock inciting Iranians more against America than the Shah . There were no complaints against American intervention when pressure from the White House forced the dismissal of General Nematollah Nassiri, the head of Iran's security service known as SAVAK . When the Shah tried to explain the character of the highlystructurized and merciless red conspiracy he was up against, Washington and the

March,

American press sneered at him as a dictator trying to excuse himself . After it was too late it should have been apparent that SAVAK had not been efficient enough . The London Daily Telegraph of February 17 still referred to it as "the brutal secret police" when describing the February 15 executions of General Nassiri and three other generals under conditions which SAVAK treatment never equaled . An important Iranian reaching France brought another damning indictment, more important than even the DAILY TELEGRAPH's listing of President Carter's "sanctimonious preachings on human rights" as a cause of Iran's collapse . IN EARLY 1976 A SOCIAL UPHEAVAL WAS TAKING PLACE . To please westerners spouting about democracy the big estates which made Iran self-supporting in agricultural products had been broken up . Ignorant workers unable to work the land on their own drifted to the city, looking for prosperity in the modernization program then in full swing . With the fall in food production prices soared and a new impoverished population found itself in the shantytowns of cities inhabited by the rich . At that time a scandal called Lockheed broke in America and a group of politicians headed by Senator Frank Church seized the opportunity to make themselves look honest by playing the word corruption for all its political worth . An aide to Senator Church sneered that his boss's investigation "would bring down more governments in a few hours than Lenin had in a lifetime," according to Katherine Graham's NEWSWEEK of February 23, 1976 . He was right . American firms had paid commissions to government officials in nations and against rivals where business is done in no other way . The first result of the hypocritical Church campaign was to cost America millions of dollars in orders which in turn affected the trade balance and the dollar . American firms were pushed to the wall and foreign officials favorable to America were replaced by men who would still regard percentages on contracts as perquisites instead of graft but would take them from America's competitors . The scramble for favorable publicity may have helped Senator Church in Idaho but in Iran Northrop Aircraft was picit started the trickle of incitement that became a flood . tured as the evil firm behind a consortium of Italians, Germans and Japanese pouring money into the pockets of the haves and turning the have-nots against both America and the throne . To the Shah's enemies and Russia's friends it was a propaganda gold mine . THEN CAME PRESIDENT CARTER .

to throw a patrol leader to the wolves for saving his unit in sniper-infected My Lai . Under a New York Times dateline of January 7, 1979, Hersh attacked the Shah over SAVAK and got in a punch against the CIA by charging that CIA knew SAVAK was using torture methods . Out for all the mileage he could get, Hersh worked in his other enemies by charging that the methods were German . While Hersh was giving the reds more ammunition in Teheran with his story on CIA's holding torture seminars in Iran, Iranian mobs were shouting : "Your American cannons and tanks do not frighten us! The Shah is a dog on an American leash! Death to Jimmy Carter!" The Pakistan ambassador observed at a Washington dinner : "I fear that 1978 will be seen as the crucial year when the balance of power swayed against the West ." He had reason to be worried . Pakistan, with its superb Chinese-built highway snaking its way over mountain passes from the Chinese and Russian borders to Pakistan ports on the Arabian Sea, is Russia's next objective . UNCONTROLLED GROUPS IN IRAN STARTED EXECUTING THEIR ENEMIES . It was time to start thinking about the some 35,000 Americans still in the country . President Carter ordered the U . S . aircraft carrier, "Constellation," to leave its base in Subic Bay, in the Philippines and head for the Persian Gulf, escorted by three destroyers, two of them armed with nuclear missiles . PRAVDA replied with an editorial stating : "Those who still believe in gunboat diplomacy have turned to provocative methods against the Soviet Union ." Out of the Oval Room in Washington went a counter-order halting the Constellation in waters linking the China Sea to the Indian Ocean . An order signed by a former navy man, at the frown of the greatest practicer of gunboat diplomacy on earth! This is the story of America as the free world's defender . A few days after the Constellation was halted, Mr . Cyrus Vance, who in 1964 saved Hanoi's supply line by stopping U . S . gunboat patrols in the Gulf of Tonkin, announced : "The Shah has decided to leave Iran and we believe this is a wise decision ." Vance's statement led the Iranian ambassador to Washington to resign in disgust with the words : "I am indignant over the absurd attitude of Carter ." Events followed their immutable course and on January 16, 1979, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi left Teheran after 37 years on the throne . An army helicopter carried him to the airport where he passed the Imperial Guard in review for the last time . Two officers fell to their knees, imploring him not to go . No member of the clergy was there to bless the sovereign before his departure, so a layman went through the traditional gesture of holding the Koran above the head of the Shah and the Shahbanou as they walked to their plane . A wild cry went up from the mob as word passed through Teheran that the man religious leaders and their communist allies had vowed to destroy was gone : "The enemy of the people has fled! He has gone to join his infidel friend, Carter! Now Khomeini can return! Allah 0 Akbar!" (Allah is great) There must have been greater loyalty to Moscow than to Tel Aviv, much less Washington, in the hearts of Seymour Hersh and the editors who published his ungrateful drivel against the Shah, for one of the first statements the returning Ayatollah made was : "Arabs must realize the danger represented by Zionism and support the Palestine revolution which has opted for an armed struggle . As of now Iran considers herself at war with Israel ." Forgetting who had cleared the way for him, the Ayatollah added: "It is not for President Carter to say whether a government is legal or not ." THE REAL VICTOR WAS SOVIET RUSSIA . Under the innocuous title of "Head of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party" Mr . Boris Ponomarev was the man who brought it about, the master of subversion through communist From him come the marching orders wherever communist plots parties around the world . are in preparation.

As soon as the Shah reached Assouan the Iranian Communist Party (Tudeh) began sending directives from its headquarters in East Germany . Soldiers were instructed to set up clandestine cells in the armed forces, preparatory to arresting their officers, and workers were told to take over the oil installations . The first big clash between the Shias and their communist allies came on January 21 when some ten thousand students went on a rampage shouting : "We did not throw off the dictatorship of the Shah to fall under a dictatorship called Islamic!" A few days later President Carter showed his ignorance of what had happened by expressing the hope that "Iran will remain a friend of the United States and free from domination by the Soviet Union or any other foreign power ." As news of succeeding events reached him in his palace in Ryadh, Prince Fahd, the heir to the throne of Saudi Arabia, murmured : "If Iran falls, Allah help us ." Iran had already fallen . Now what the Arab nations have to face is the fact that Russia has an Arab policy in which every possible alternative is foreseen in advance . RUSSIA'S ARAB POLICY HAS TO DATE MET TEMPORARY SETBACKS , as when Sadat threw them out of Egypt, but the trend has been ahead, slowly, relentlessly and with no challenge from the West . Each move by Libya's Qaddafi has been part of a master plan, even to Qaddafi's recent acquisition of an Atom bomb through the aid of Pakistan's physicists . One after another the Arab leaders have seen their non-communist ramparts fall Ethiopia, Afghanistan and Iran, without a reaction from the West . Now the time for a reconsideration of alliances has come . IRAQ IS RULED BY 64-YEAR-OLD GENERAL HASSAN AL-BAKR , who dropped his Shiite faith for accommodation with the majority of his citizens . The revolution in Iran has put him against the wall . In the north he has a majority of Sunnite Kurds, in the south a Shia community among which the Ayatollah Khomeini lived for fourteen years in exile . The Kurds were fighting for independence until 1975 when the Shah ceased to support them for the sake of peace with Iraq . Now the revolution in Iran has proved contagious and Iraq's Shiites, Bahai followers and Free Masons are remembering the harsh treatment they received at the time of al-Bakr's coup d'etat in 1968 . Bakr was not easy on Iraq's communists either . He forcibly moved the Kurds from the areas where Iraq's 110 million tons of crude oil are produced annually and all but some 300 of Iraq's 130,000 Jews left the country as Iraq moved into the camp of the hard-liners against Israel . The Palestinians became his proteges . In 1972 Bakr stripped the foreign oil companies of their holdings and signed a treaty of cooperation and friendship with Russia . In early 1978 the honeymoon ended when Bakr discovered that the Soviet embassy had bugged his own palace and was underwriting a conspiracy in the army, to take Iraq the way of Afghanistan . There was not a peep out of Moscow when he executed thirty high officers and began weeding out the pro-Russians . Both he and Moscow were in a spot : Moscow is due to suffer an oil shortage during the 80s and the men in the Kremlin dare not alarm the leaders of the oil states they are going to have to court or take over . Bakr, on the other hand, realizes that the war materiel Russia has sold him is not comparable to what he can buy in the West, but a a break with Moscow will cut him off from spare parts for the armament he already has and time is too short to permit him to change suppliers . In the jolt that came as Iran began to fall, Bakr turned to his mortal enemy, Syria, and held out the olive branch . SYRIA IS RULED BY GENERAL HAFEZ EL-ASSAD, AN ALOUITE SHIA . The common meeting ground between Iraq and Syria is hatred of Israel and the fact that both countries are under a single party, the Ba'ath . Ba'ath in Arabic means renaissance, resurrection, or even mission. It is a mixture of pan-Arabism and Islamic socialism, dedicated to the formation of a single Arab nation from Morocco to the Euphrates, Islam welded into an Empire . Bakr dreams of making Bagdad the capital, as in the days of Haroun el-Raschid . For

March, 1979

Page -5-

ten years he and Syria's el-Assad, the Lion, have hated each other, but on January 20, as fighting grew worse in the streets of Teheran, the two men met in Damascus to discuss a merger . Iraq's secret service will no longer send Palestinians to murder Syrians and Syria has promised to quit stirring up trouble in Mesopotamia . The time has come to unite against the common danger : the revolution epidemic raging in Iran . Syria and Iraq have the same internal danger : Sunnites hate the Shias, Druzes and Kurds . In Syria tough labor leaders trained by Nasser fight the Ba'ath for control of Syria's unions . The present attempt to form a solid front is the seventh the Arabs have tried since 1958, but this one is born of desperation as they watch Soviet Russia encircle Saudi Arabia through South Yemen, Iraq, Syria, red Ethiopia and Afghanistan on the wave of Ayatollah Khomeini's Islamic leftism . In the new union military forces will be pooled . Iraq and Syria together can line up twenty well-equipped divisions fitted with modern arms and backed by 4,500 tanks and some 900 planes . The catch is, the materiel is Russian and they dare not risk the long delay a change-over to western equipment would incur . Consequently, Mr . Saddam Hussein, number two of the Iraqi government, flew to Moscow to Brezhnev told him : "If you will form a common front see Brezhnev in December 1978 . with Syria I'll give you all the arms you need ." In January 1979 Brezhnev made the same promise to General Chehabi, the Syrian chief-of-staff, adding : "Coordinate your purchases with Iraq and you can have Mig 25s and Scud missiles ." Thus Iraq and Syria, united or alone, are at Moscow's mercy and Iraq's attempt to expand in the Persian Gulf by reviving the revolt against the Sultan of Oman, which the Shah helped suppress, may in the end give Moscow control of Arabia's sea lane to Europe and Japan . Beyond Saudi Arabia, at the southwestern tip of the peninsula which Arabs call Djezirat-el-Arab,the island of the Arabs, are the mountainous countries of North and South Yemen. NORTH YEMEN IS KNOWN AS THE YEMEN ARAB REPUBLIC, OR YAR . Ruled by Ali Abdallah Saleh it is anti-communist but weak . This is the only buffer between the oil wells of Saudi Arabia and communist South Yemen, known as the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (PDRY) . North Yemen is an oil state without oil . It has no natural resources and exists on money poured into it by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the other gulf states and the remittances sent home by its million and a half citizens who work in Saudi Arabia . He came into Ali Abdallah Saleh is one of the worst insurance risks in the world . power when a bomb in a brief case from South Yemen killed his predecessor in June 1978 . Libya's Qaddafi, who is expected to test his first A-bomb in April, financed an attempt to kill Saleh in October 1978 . In January 1969 Saleh defeated a South Yemen invasion in which Cuban and East Germantrained forces poisoned wells, mined roads and destroyed homes between Taiz and the South Yemen border . One of the reasons he is popular with the army and his people is Though he is next in line in Moscow's relentless because he inspires confidence . The South Yemen march towards oil-rich Saudi Arabia, he did not hesitate a minute . executed by firing squads, soldiers he captured in uniform last October were summarily their tongues cut out according those out of uniform were hanged, after first having to local custom .

The weak link in North Yemen's government as it faces the Russians, Cubans and East Germans who have made Aden, the capital of South Yemen, their base for a drive from Ethiopia to Pakistan, is Foreign Minister Abdullah el-Asnag . Asnag is the former labor union boss through whom America's roving trouble-maker, Irving Brown, organized the strikes which made Britain throw up her hands and pull out of the bases from which she protected the Arab world . Asnag is a neutralist, trying to be friendly with Russia, China, Saudi Arabia and the West until it becomes apparent who is going to win . Asnag may be the man to open the gates of North Yemen to the Russians . Such power as he has American labor's "roving ambassador" gave him . SOUTH YEMEN IS RULED BY ABD AL-FATTAH ISMAIL , a Russian puppet who bears the titles of power while Russians run his army . Two thousand Cubans train and command his People's militia and East Germans operate his intelligence and security services . Compared to Ismail's East German-trained secret police, SAVAK was made up of choir boys . Aden, the capital of South Yemen, has been equipped with Russian floating docks, oil reservoirs for refueling planes and an arms depot for a major war . South Yemen is the southern pincer in a movement closing in on the vulnerable oil emirates, now that Afghanistan and Iran are no longer obstacles in the north . In any possible line-up for regional defense, Kuwait in the north would be a liability with 250,000 Palestinians among her population . All of these countries are leaning on a weak reed - an America led by Jimmy Carter and hamstrung by students, professors and editors who showed themselves strong enough to dictate policy during our war in Vietnam . Senator Frank SAUDI ARABIA'S 35,000-MAN ARMY is King Khaled's sole defense force . Church, whose charges of corruption in Iran, for the sake of headlines, helped undermine Saudi the Shah, has done everything possible to keep Saudi Arabia from acquiring arms . Arabia claims a population of 8 .9 million people, which is probably an exaggeration . What is certain is that the majority of foreign workers are Palestinians, Indians, Pakistanis, Yemenites, Egyptians and workers from Oman and the Gulf . In the event of a Russian-Cuban backed invasion they would be expected to show the patriotism of Jane Fonda or Sam Brown . Libya is reported to have financed ten attempted coups in Saudi Arabia in 1978. If the Arab oil states were fragile before the fall of the Shah, today they are perched on a precarious brink . MR . ROBERT MOSS, ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT AND RELIABLE ANALYSTS writing in the English language, reported in the London Daily Telegraph of February 19 that all through 1978 the Carter Administration was prodding the Shah towards his downfall, "-urging him to attempt coalitions of irreconcilables and to 'feed the alligators' by making concessions that could only be interpreted by his enemies as a devastating admission of weakness . "There were many moments when the revolutionary process could have been halted by a shrewd combination of political action (like buying support in the bazaar) and tough military repression, and the Shah's generals knew it . But everytime they wanted to move, the Americans were there again, tugging at their sleeves, and deepening the Shah's indecision ." This is called "the destabilizing effect of Carter's human rights policy, when crudely applied to friendly regimes ." Now the generals whose arms were tied are being tortured and killed . Even up until January 1979 Washington appeared to think that everything was going fine . The Daily Telegraph of January 3, 1979, headed its major story on the Iranian revolution : "Carter has secret plans for Persia ." In the light of what has happened it would be interesting to know what they were . r9dHtraus~at e a is ~spd rArIIf icn$ushness s recs s o Ggb n is lr 66s kka t S a dTugs ; pahAS r1 58 'Cor ipe iocev s ity o o'ice ncu tra fiariot a9io~itG eea~jo, ou evaiona copies 30~ each aub scription rate 15 er year Rutherford, Managing Editor Leda P .

A FOREIGN AFFAIRS LETTER

H du B REPORTS
VOLUME XXII- LETTER 1 - APRIL,

The making of a President

"How did we get saddled with the like of Jimmy Carter?" a perplexed Peregrine Worsthorne asked in London's SUNDAY TELEGRAPH of March 11, 1979, as our President stopped at nothing to get Egypt's Sadat and Israel's Begin to sign a peace treaty the President dared not go home without, yet to which neither could put his signature without making an eventual war over Jerusalem a certainty . By using the first person, plural, the English Mr . Worsthorne was writing as a helpless passenger aboard the ship, with no confidence in the men on the bridge, from captain downward . That the inexperienced captain was selected by political ventriloquists who fed paper into a computer for two years before the 1976 elections to determine what would please all colors, classes, creeds, workers and ethnic groups did not make for reassurance . Consequently, Mr . Worsthorne, one of the most brilliant political writers in the English language, went on to ask : "What possible sense can it make to have a figure so little acquainted with the exercise of power in charge of Western destinies, a figure chosen precisely because he lacked authority, could frighten nobody - friend or foe - and had no previous connection with power politics?" Had Mr . Worsthorne been in Vining, Georgia, on the evening of July 31, 1978, he might have begun to understand . Standing on the porch of an old home, the Carter machine's congressional candidate, a rug-manufacturer named Smith Foster, delivered a threeminute speech, with the obscenities to which his vocabulary was normally limited carefully deleted . He asked the voters of Georgia's 7th district to vote for him because he had never been away from there . But plainly : he should be sent to Washington because he was ignorant . And the two most powerful papers in the important city of Atlanta endorsed him . Mr . Worsthorne must understand that the world was on the eve of a crisis and those who blew Watergate up into the scandal it became were determined to stack America's elective offices, from President downward, with inexperienced men who would be obedient to them and to drive from office every incumbent of intelligence and integrity . Since Mr . Worsthorne was serious when he asked how we got saddled with the like of Jimmy Carter, let us try to give him a serious answer . THE KEY MAN IN THE MANEUVER WAS MR . AVERELL HARRIMAN . Little was known of the constantly grinning man from Plains, Georgia, save that he had been an Annapolis graduate, a peanut farmer and a former state governor . But those programming him had remarkable foresight . In 1972 Mr . Carter worked to get an anti-white black named Andrew Young elected to congress so that in 1976 Mr . Young could hustle black votes for Mr . Carter . So quiet was the American press about the ground preparing among every self-interest group that had a vote, Mr . Ivan Rowan was able to write in the SUNDAY TELEGRAPH of July 18, 1976 "The strength of Carter's position is that he owes no one any favors ." An absurd assertion . NEWSWEEK had reported on November 3, 1975, that on being asked who his running mate would be, Carter replied : "I'll tell you what qualifications she must

have ." Even the militant women's-rightists held a Carter I .O .U . which was never paid! How the man who could frighten nobody - friend or foe - was selected is a long story . THE UNVEILING CAME IN LATE 1972 . Milton Katz, the Harvard law professor who had been deputy chief of OSS in Caserta, Italy, when plans were being made to depose Italy's King and support Tito, the Yugoslav murderer of his anti-communist rival, was at work on one of his numerous causes . As a consultant for the Ford Foundation, an official in the leftist-pacifist Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a trustee of the leftist-pacifist World Affairs Council as well as of the World Peace Foundation, Mr . Katz had his fingers in a lot of pies . If America learned anything during the Vietnam war it was to beware of any movement with the word peace in it . Katz was one of many working tooth and nail for American surrender in Vietnam under the high-sounding name of "peace without victory ." When that was put over, "peace with honor" took its place . Even as Mr . Katz hovered over his papers that autumn day of 1972, a women's rights fanatic in California named Kate Millett was making it her business to work for the destruction of Iran's Shah . The man she was out to get was the greatest champion of women's rights in the Moslem world but Moscow wanted him ousted . Suddenly Mr . Katz' telephone rang and over the line came the voice of the man whom Lord Thompson's London TIMES was to call "the grand old man of the Democrats ." What he had to say went something like this : "Milton, I've got a man I want you to look over . He is a new face . No one has anything on him . I think we can build him up but I want your opinion before I take him up the line ." It was Averell Harriman speaking and his find was Jimmy Carter . Anyone not of the same political convictions of the two men on the telephone would have been leery because a man with worse judgment or more dubious supporters than Mr . Harriman would be hard to find, unless we accept the theory that military defeat, demoralization of the country, undermining of our currency and the conditioning of America for acceptance of regional status in a superstate were Mr . Harriman's objectives . THE HARRIMAN RECORD IS NOT REASSURING . In the early 20s he saved the bolshevik revolution with a timely loan . During World War II he was more responsible than any other American for giving Stalin everything he wanted . In 1947 he arranged for John McCloy, the U . S . High Commissioner to Germany, to give Duncan Sandys and the Polish one-worlder, Joseph Retinger, European currencies received in payment for Marshall Plan aid . With this the two financed their movement for the European Common Market which will elect 410 representatives to its supra-national parliament on June 10 of this year . It is already powerful enough to blackmail nations into going along or going broke . In 1961, '62, Dean Rusk gave Harriman the job of toppling the pro-American, anti-communist government of General Phoumi Nosavan and Prince Boun Oum in Laos, because, as TIME magazine put it : "U . S . policy sees little profit in trying to make a free world bastion out of an isolated jungle nation whose borders are contiguous with a communist power ." To achieve his ends Harriman had to get rid of everyone in the 126-man American delega tion who opposed handing Laos to the reds . The man who flattered him most and in the end became Harriman's protege was only too happy to undermine the integrity-hampered associates who also stood in his way . This was a leftist junior officer named William H . Sullivan . Harriman told Sullivan : "Get rid of these fellows ." Sullivan drew up a blacklist which cut the staff by half . Harriman looked it over and said : "Make it two-thirds ." He particularly wanted to be free of the military, who kept trying to win . He and Sullivan soon had our military representation in Laos down to one colonel and one sergeant . Then they turned to policy . Experienced senior officers opposed neutralizing Laos . Harriman countered by telling State Department he wanted Sullivan as his deputy . Washington replied that it was impossible to promote a class three officer over the heads of men with class one and class two status . Harriman solved that by sending all class one and class two men home, which cleared the way for Sullivan to become ambassador to Laos and bring about the fall of General Phoumi Nosavan,

the anti-communist . When Harriman went to Paris to negotiate the sell-out of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, Sullivan went with him . UPI reported from Washington on June 17, 1969 that Mr . Harriman was annoyed over "the frustration of trying to negotiate peace in Vietnam while the generals on both sides wanted to win ." Cyrus Sulzberger wrote in "A LONG ROW OF CANDLES" : "Last night dined with Harriman . I asked him, since he knows all the great men of our time, who was the greatest . Without any hesitation he said Stalin ." On October 2, 1969, the London TIMES told its readers that Mr . Harriman believed an independent South Vietnam would emerge from the peace talks . He also looked for "SovietAmerican cooperation in the Middle East," where, "The United States and Britain should push Israel towards a settlement ." On May 14, 1970 a Washington AP report quoted Harriman as complaining that President Nguyen van Thieu had never been prepared to bargain seriously with the Vietcong and the North Vietnamese . "There will be no reprisals on either side," said Harriman . "The other side does not want a bloodbath any more than we do ." On July 2, 1970, Harriman proposed that we by-pass Thieu altogether and make our own terms with Hanoi if Thieu remains obstructive . A Los Angeles Times story of March 17, 1971, told how Edward Weintal, the former Polish diplomat, had confronted Harriman with a telegram from the National Archives dated February 12, 1944, in which Harriman assured Roosevelt that Soviet Russia did not want to introduce a communist government in Poland . Harriman did not deny having sent the telegram, but he shook his fist in Weintal's face and shouted : "If you print that in your book I'll break your jaw!" So much for the man who telephoned Milton Katz in the fall of 1972 to ask Katz to help sell his find . Katz had no qualms about giving the unknown Georgian his stamp of approval, though he must have had a smug feeling of superiority as he did soy From then on the road was clear, . Harriman took his man to Zbignieuw Brzezinski and Brzezinski took him to David Rockefeller . Past the Rockefeller hurdle, Carter was ready for the Trilateral Commission which would give him an "education" while he watched the men in the know edge America and Japan into a special relationship with the Common Market, with America serving as intermediary . The two-year period of feeding paper into computers to find what a candadate should say to please the largest number of Americans started . There were wheels within wheels and the makings of many a book in the happenings and personalities involved as labor, management, ideological groups and conflicting religions and colors were convinced that the man in the White House would be their man . In the end all of them were doublecrossed . Milton Katz' closest associate in France while this was going on,and American defeat was being assured in Vietnam,was a retired airforce general named Paul Stehlin, whose full role in the Harriman-Katz circle will never be known . GENERAL PAUL STEHLIN was born in Hochfelden in 1907 and was well-fitted for the group It is doubtful that any of them had any feeling of belonging to a in which he moved . became a French general, Stehlin advocated a one-world government nation . Though he foundation of a constantly-expanding Common Market, which is a Council on built on the (CFR)-Trilateral Commission objective .

April , 1979

Page - 4-

with whom he had much in common . Stehlin wrote in a letter to "LE MONDE," the Paris political daily, of August 28, 1973, that after their initial meeting Kissinger often stayed at Stehlin's place in the country where, through Stehlin, he first met the Hanoi delegation to Paris and set in motion the negotiations in which Harriman, Vance and Sullivan achieved their objectives . Stehlin's priorities cannot be explained by logic or national interests . Like his wife, the American-born Anne-Marie Schwob, he was a militant Zionist, yet he consciously worked to destroy the morale of the nation and its army that, in a pinch, would be expected to guarantee Israel's existence . In thwarting the Americans who wanted victory in Vietnam he destroyed their enthusiasm for going to the rescue of any country anywhere . Many Frenchmen denounced him as a traitor over the NATO aircraft purchase and he died mysteriously in June 1975 when he stepped - or was pushed - in front of an on-coming bus after a telephone call sent him scurrying to his office in search of his brief-case . Had he lived it is certain that he would have played a role in the European workings of the Trilateral Commission and through it the education of President Carter . An admitted $21,800,000 was spent to obtain BACK IN AMERICA THE ELECTION WENT ITS WAY . the 27% of the American vote which put Averell Harriman's find in office . The computAccording to an AP report of December 10, 1976, Carter erized promises paid off . reaped 94% of the colored vote . The National Broadcasting Corporation gave him 72% of the Jewish vote, 56% of the Catholics, 60% of the voters with Polish surnames, 64% of But since only 53% of the the blue-collar workers and 70% of the big city residents . Americans who could have voted bothered to go to the polls, the vast majority of the country can say : "You voted for him, we didn't ." London's leftist OBSERVER reported : "By the time of the New Hampshire primaries much of the work had been done . The mood of the American people had been analyzed and it Unknown to most of had been established how Carter might turn that mood into votes . America, the Carter coup was already half made ." Mr . Howell Raines, editor of the St . Petersburg Times, was shocked at the idea of using He computers to find out what the public wanted to hear and then speaking accordingly . asked Mr . Jody Powell, "Isn't this blatant chicanery, when the man who said trust me, I will never lie to you, assures an audience that he is a strong conservative?" "Not at all," Powell replied . "This is an example of the governor's peculiar gift of being able to explain his liberal policies in terms that make them acceptable to conservatives ." On May 17, 1976, U . S . NEWS & WORLD REPORT disclosed the fact that Peter Bourne, the psychiatrist who had worked for American defeat in Vietnam, had prepared a study of thousands of national organizations, their leanings and their convention dates, for the Carter team which was only waiting to promise each of them anything it asked for . JUST BEFORE THE ELECTION MR . HARRIMAN WAS SENT TO MOSCOW to beg his friend, party boss Leonid Brezhnev, "to discount the more strident anti-Russian positions taken during the campaign as election-year rhetoric ." It is little wonder that Saudi Arabia and West Germany's Helmut Schmidt have no confidence in Carter as a buffer against Russia now The sight of Carter telling the American public and are making overtures to Moscow . Harriman to Moscow to tell Brezhnev the opposite should have one thing and sending been a warning . When Harriman returned to Washington he assured Mr . Carter that the Soviet build-up "Russia is almost surrounded by hostile communist was not to be taken seriously . President . To imply that this is why the Russians, trusting countries," he told the

April, 1979

Page -5-

Cubans and East Germans are in South Yemen, Afghanistan and all the trouble spots of Africa is an insult to anyone with intelligence . So convinced was Harriman that European communists can be trusted, he told the TIMES, of London, correspondent, David Spanier : "I don't believe that the European communists want to toe Moscow's line . If it comes to it we shall have to test how far they can work in NATO ." This after a constant stream of spies working in NATO had been arrested or made their escape to the East! THE NEW ADMINISTRATION WAS NOT YET IN OFFICE when the U . S . NEWS & WORLD REPORT of December 20, 1976, reported : "It is elder statesman Averell Harriman, insiders say, who has the most influence on Carter's choices for top national security posts, including Cyrus Vance as Secretary of State ." This answers a question that many have been asking . Having learned elsewhere how we got saddled with the like of Jimmy Carter, U . S . NEWS & WORLD REPORT now tells us how we got saddled with the likes of Zbignieuw Brzezinski, Cyrus Vance and a host of others whose qualifications have never been questioned . Soon after the President entered office, William Sullivan was appointed ambassador to Iran where, by telling the Shah to get out, he helped Russia achieve her greatest bound ahead since the days immediately following World War II . More important, Zbignieuw Brezezinski, the head of Mr . Carter's training school, the Trilateral Commission, was taken into the White House as National Security Adviser . It is interesting to read the Knight News Service story of December 17, 1976, which told Americans that Mr . Brzezinski had already been Mr . Carter's "principal foreign policy adviser for more than a year and a half," which is to say, the dictator of Mr . Carter's foreign policy statements . "He was one of the first of the academic-political figures in the national security area to take Carter seriously as presidential material," the Knight report continued . "They worked together in the organization called the Trilateral Commission, of which Brzezinski was director - an organization strongly supported by David Rockefeller and the Chase Manhattan Bank." Meanwhile, over in Moscow, on hearing that Carter had won and even before the questionable appointments were announced, Mr . Boris Ponomarev, who directs the world's communist parties in which Mr . Harriman expressed confidence, told a group of visiting English reds : "If we don't make any wrong moves and bungle things, the neutralization of anticommunist movements in the West is on the right road ." It had been for a long time . Cyrus Sulzberger wrote in his syndicated column of April 6, 1973 : "Ideologically, the United States has grown up in Vietnam and now sees that communism is not a Manichean evil automatically to be exposed ." The Los Angeles Times of July 18, 1976, expressed satisfaction that "Anti-communist fervor was dissipated over Vietnam ." Neither journal has admitted to date that the aim of the anti-war movement in America was before anything else the destruction of anti-communism and America's morale . The country was being conditioned for just such a national security adviser as Zbignieuw Brezezinski . THE FOREIGN POLICY QUARTERLY , which is published "in association with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace," (A Milton Katz arm for political action, you will recall) carried an article by Brezezinski in its summer issue of 1976, while Mr . Carter was campaigning . It is an interesting article in the contempt Mr . Brzezinski expresses for the sort of American who has deep roots in the country, roots which Mr . Brzezinski who left his native Poland in 1958 cannot be expected to share . The day of this sort of American is past, the Polish immigrant wrote in "FOREIGN POLICY ." "Proletarian forces represent the wave of the future ." In emphasizing the irrelevance

of the WASPS (White, Anglo-Saxon Protestants) he provides a glimpse of what Milton Katz' World Peace Foundation and the anti-war movement in general were all about . "The Vietnam War," he writes, "was the Waterloo of the WASP elite ." It "cracked WASP moral motivation and monopoly of foreign affairs ." This is to say that a new monopoly has been established, motivated by new morals, in which case President Carter is either not a WASP or not in command of America's foreign policies, though we are led to believe he is both . Evans and Novak wrote in their column of August 5, 1977, that in high level meetings of July 28 and 29, Mr . Brzezinski, the President's national security adviser, adopted en toto the top secret strategic study known as PRM-10 . This is the plan which secretly concedes one-third of West Germany to a Soviet invasion force rather than seek increased defense spending which "would provoke Moscow and divide Washington ." As we follow the disastrous chain of events and study the steps by which Mr . Harriman saddled America and her allies with Mr . Carter and the figures with whom Mr . Carter then saddled America, a picture takes shape which only a Peregrine Worsthorne can put into proper perspective for Europeans . What is surprising is that Mr . Harriman was able to find time and energy to accomplish so much . Let us give just one example : Most writers on the war in Indochina have noted that in February 1945, six months before the war was over, Major Paul Helliwell, of OSS, gave Ho chi Minh some guns and 20,000 cartridges, knowing that they would be used against our ally, the French . Ho did not need guns, since the guns he had would serve indefinitely . What he needed was all the cartridges OSS could slip him, because a cartridge could only be used once . Chester L . Cooper, the former OSS officer who in 1970 was Director of the International Division of the Institute of Defense Analysis in Washington, wrote a book called "THE LOST CRUSADE," so blatantly slanted as to make any knowledgeable reader shudder at the thought of what our Institute of Defense Analysis was giving the government . Cooper "He (Ho chi Minh) finally succeeded in getting twisted the cartridge donation to read : pistols and a few rounds of ammunition ." (Emphasis ours) The foreword to this slanted book was written by Averell Harriman . Recognized as having helped prepare it were McGeorge Bundy, Joseph Buttinger (the socialist propagandist who wrote in "THE NEW LEADER," of June 27, 1955, that "Although the government of Ho chi Minh was dominated by communists, this regime had a good chance of developing along democratic lines ."), Edward Lansdale (Allen Dulles' man who in 1955, through bribery and American arms, destroyed the three anti-communist forces which are still trying to carry on a resistance war today), Averill Harriman and Mr . Vu van Thai, (the Hanoi agent to whom Daniel Ellsberg gave a full set of the stolen Pentagon Papers before he gave them to the New York Times .)

A FOREIGN AFFAIRS LETTER

Mr . Lee Mortimer wrote in the NEW American King had been slain and "There may be fireworks when a Sen Central Un-Intelligence Agency an leaders of the red-backed rebel gr Is this why Washington was kept in

RK DAILY MIRROR of July 29, 1958, after Iraq's proser had brought Syria into his United Arab Republic : e committee learns that a couple of agents of the he U . S . Mis-Information Service were palsy with ps in the Middle East long before the trouble broke . gnorance of the upcoming coups?"

There were no fireworks because th Senate committee, like the agencies it was investigating, was against all monarchies d had bought the line that anti-communism was extremism . Already an American-ba d and American-backed international Moslem organization was working to topple orderly governments in the name of "liberation ." Today Islam is aflame with military, political and religious resurgence sweeping Algeria, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Syria, South Yemen, Pakistan, the Moro islands of the Philippines and our once-loyal ally, Turkey . Russian policy is to help rebels destroy the leaders in power and, when they have fallen, install their own . Every non-communist country where members of the world's 800 million Moslems abide is threatened by the temporary alliance of devout Moslems and atheistic communists . Only in Egypt has the Kremlin's strategy backfired . The next step will be to carry the fight into America when Washington's policies run counter to the ideas of hooded terrorists whom a press which castigates the Ku Klux Klan described as idealistic Iranian students when they were wielding iron bars against the Shah and the California residence of his mother . When these hooded hooligans were running rampant the police made no attempt to find out if Iranians were under the hoods or veterans of the communist-directed riots against victory in Vietnam . Now the question is : When President Carter's jerry-built "peace" in the Middle East breaks down and hooded troublemakers supported by faceless sympathizers defy identification as they carry the Middle East war into America's streets, will any elected lawmaker in Congress have the courage to turn the spotlight on the sinister organizations America helped build up? America has many Islamic organizations but the principal one owes its immunity to government agencies, politicians, oil millionaires and even editors who had the interests of Israel at heart . JAMIAT AL-ISLAM is the Turkish term for Organization of Islam . In Afghanistan it is called Jaamat-I-Islami and here at least it is fighting to overthrow the communist regime which Moscow brought into power through a bloody coup d'etat on April 27, 1978 . In Pakistan it is Jaamat-I-Islami and the London DAILY TELEGRAPH of April 7, 1979, reported that Pakistan police "watched benignly" as Moslem vigilantes from "the JaamatI-Islami party, a small and fanatical band of extremely orthodox Moslems with whom General Zia is believed to have sympathy", used spiked clubs on demonstrators mourning the

execution of former President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto . On April 8, 1979, the SUNDAY TELEGRAPH stated that 14 people had been killed and over 150 wounded in the Vale of Kashmir as indignant Moslems shouted : "Long live martyr Bhutto! Death to General Zia, down with Pakistan and Jimmy Carter!" In Srinigar, the capital of Indian Kashmir, and other towns, "the main target was the Jaamat Islami party whose Pakistan counterpart they believe had conspired with General Zia to kill Mr . Bhutto ." THE STORY OF JAMIAT AL-ISLAM dates back to its founding in Turkistan in 1868 and '69, the period when Yakub Beg's kingdom of Kashgaria was flourishing at the junction of the caravan routes to Oxus, Khokand, Samarkand, Alamati, Aksu and Khotan . Abdul Ali Maudadi resurrected the movement before Pakistan's independence and turned Jaamat-IIslami into a fanatical, anti-western party which threatened the leadership of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Pakistan's first President . After independence Maudadi was imprisoned, but by then an American who had taken a Turkish name had appropriated the Jamiat al-Islam label and was forging a movement which would be a gold mine for himself and a vehicle for the spreading of his own Islamic revolution . THE RISE OF AHMED KAMAL . Cimarron Hathaway was born in Denver, Colorado, on February 2, 1914, of a Moslem family with Turkish roots going back to Central Asia . The family migrated to Budapest towards the end of the 18th century and, still calling themselves Kamal, entered America in 1874 as Austrian immigrants . After the death of his father the young Cimarron was tutored by a Prussian named Lothar von Richter who instilled in This, added to the influence of a turkophile him an admiration for Prussian militarism. family steeped in archeology and folklore, gave the boy his pan-Arab and pan-Turk fanaticism . In 1935, when he was 21, Cimarron inherited enough money to quit work and embark on what he saw as his mission . In 1938 he published "The Seven Questions of Tamerlane" which appeared in 480 numbered copies . His next move was to legally change his name to Ahmed Kamal and set out on a pilgrimage to the anayurdu - the mother hearth of his ancestors . The year 1939 found him in Tien-tsin, in north China where two years earlier the bespectacled American, R . W . Reef, had plotted with Chu Teh, the master of the red army, and Mao Tse-tung . After some months of what he called "personal researching," the bornagain Kamal entered Siberia, apparently without difficulty, and on May 2, 1940, married Amina Ibrahimoff in the Siberian town of Petropolovsk . Had CIA made a check-up on Kamal's life before they placed him where he could use CIA for the advancement of his own objectives, they would have found that the records of this period are murky . In Tien-tsin he met Marcel Leopold, the Swiss gun-runner who was to enter his life eighteen years later . And during the 1940 period in Siberia, where correspondence which did not meet with Soviet approval seldom reached a boat for the States, Kamal and his Pakistani brother-in-law, Agaseff, were able to synchronize their plan to harness Moslem fanaticism and set up a greater Jamiat al-Islam with its base in San Francisco . THE JAPANESE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR interrupted their plans . By then Kamal and his wife were back in North China but for some inexplicable reason they received preferential treatment from the notoriously suspicious Japanese . By all logic an American with a Turkish name, married to a Russian wife and doing "research" would have been summarily dealt with as a spy, unless he was willing to impart information useful to the dread kampetai . Kamal and his wife passed the war together in an ordinary internment camp and after their liberation in mid-August 1945 they boarded the U . S . troop transport, Lavaca, in the port serving Tien-tsin . On October 10, 1945, they disembarked in Shanghai . Kamal could have had a good job with the U . S . Army or OSS as a specialist on the area where Mao Tse-tung's red armies were massing, but instead he took advantage of the absence of visa and immigration controls in the confusion following V-J Day and boarded a boat for the States with his Russian wife . AMERICA'S CRUSADE FOR DECOLONIZATION WAS IN FULL SWING and Kamal rode it by presenting Jamiat al-Islam as an organization fighting for human rights . While producing his book

May, 1979

Page - 3-

on the tribes of Turkestan, Kamal became the champion of refugees from the land of the turkmen and the oppression of non-Moslems in Russia, Albania, Yugoslavia, Palestine, and Lebanon . Wherever independence movements encouraged by American union organizers and agents provided a reason for Jamial al-Islam's existence and pleas for money, Jamial al-Islam was burrowing, and the decolonization committee of UN was a natural . As the organization grew, Ibrahim Rogard worked from a base on 30th Avenue, in San Mateo, California, as its correspondent and Mrs . Rauza I . Rogard, in San Francisco, was its secretary-treasurer . Kamal, with backing that has never been investigated, set up an office in Madrid . This was the post-war period when Habib Bourguiba, who had been number 13120 when he was a spy for Mussolini, was being pushed by American agents and Irving Brown's labor apparatus as the leader of an independent Tunisia . Mehdi ben-Barka was being groomed for the same role in Morocco, along with others who were to head a revolt against France in Algeria . Madrid was the base for America's dual objectives : The decolonization of North Africa and the destruction of Generalissimo Franco . Kamal's period in Spain coincided with that of Le Xuan, the Ho chi Minh protege .whom Dr . Robert Knapp took into OSS in IndoChina and then passed into CIA with a Bangkok press card for a cover . Le Xuan spent nine years in CIA before he was fired and wrote "A SPY IN SPITE OF MYSELF" to get even, a book that caused some worry to Dr . Knapp, by then a professor at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut . If there was any violence at Wesleyan during the war in Vietnam it is not difficult to understand why . British, French and Russian intelligence services hold copies of Le Xuan's manuscript, which CIA prevented from being published in the mid-fifties by giving Le Xuan a job with the American army in Paris administering aptitute tests to service men . Probably this manuscript holds the most complete record of Le Xuan's and Kamal's subversive actions in Madrid, aside from the Kamal file in French counter-intelligence headquarters . The Dutch services have a bulging dossier on Ahmed Kamal's financial aid to the Dar-ulIslam movement against the Dutch in Indonesia and the French also have files on his work through Jamiat al-Islam to incite Lebanon and Syria against France . It is interesting now to note that as far back as the 1950s Kamal threw his Jamiat al-Islam into the drive to destroy the Shah . One of his-themes was that Iran was not a solid bastion against communism, which Kamal's every move tended to advance . It was the Algerian revolt of November 1, 1954, however, which gave Kamal his big bound ahead and made his Jamiat al-Islam office on Quai du Mont Blanc, in Geneva, one of the greatest centers of anti-French intrigue in Western Europe . JAMIAT AL-ISLAM TURNS TO BLACKMAIL . With Arabs fighting France in Algeria and all the oil companies of America seeking Arab oil the situation was tailor-made for shakedowns . America was pro-Israel, so Kamal put it up to the oil men in blunt terms : Only a contribution to the Algerian war effort will assure the Arab oil states that you are not pro-Israel also . His international Islamic organization with offices in the principal cities of Europe and North Africa gave him weight and one of his first contributors was Mr . Waldon Jones, of Anglo-Arabian Oil, who died in a mysterious plane crash on March l, 1962, with a large sum of unexplained banknotes in his briefcase . Michael K . Clark, the NEW YORK TIMES correspondent who lost his job for reporting truthfully on the war in Algeria, wrote on page 359 of "Algeria in Turmoil :" "There was talk in January 1957 of Ahmed Ahmed-Bioud as possible head of the Algerian government That this former Nazi agent (Wartime head of the North African Deutsche in exile . Arbeits Front in Berlin and associate of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during the war) should have been considered for such a post cannot be understood without reference to his connections . Ahmed-Bioud, more commonly known as Bayoud, was in Cologne at the The two had time with Ahmed Kamal, a United States citizen of Turkish descent . have been a contributor . Kamal seems to apparently known each other in the past, for Mr when Ahmed-Bioud (UDMA) to Ferhat Abbas's Democratic Union of the Algerian Manifesto

was assistant secretary-general of that organization . But in 1957 their association was of another nature . Mr . Kamal had set up a secret society in Tripoli called Jamiat al-Islam fi Ifrigya al Shamalya (Islamic Organization of North Africa) . Purporting to be essentially a cultural group, the society was in fact working for the Algerian rebellion . Propaganda, technical and financial assistance and arms were the uncultured activities with which it dealt . What Ahmed Kamal and Ahmed-Bioud were up to in Cologne in 1957 is a matter of conjecture, but evidently the FLN looked upon the protagonists and their activities with the highest favor . If, as some said, Ahmed Kamal had access to abundant reservoirs of oil money in the Middle East, his standing with the rebels is easily explained ." In a footnote Mr . Clark adds : "In the summer of 1956 Ahmed-Bioud and Mohammed Boudjemline, another of Ferhat Abbas's disciples, had traveled assiduously between Switzerland, West Germany and Holland in search of arms for sale . They were in partnership with Ahmed Kamal ." THE SCRAMBLE FOR ARMS . In their search for weapons and ammunition it was only natural that Kamal should turn to the old gun-runner from Tien-tsin, Marcel Leopold, the Swiss national . This led to Leopold's assassination by a poisoned dart in Geneva on September 19, 1957, and a great cry went up to the pro-Algerian American press . NEWSWEEK, of October 12, 1959, though they knew nothing whatever of the crime or its circumatances, stated categorically that Leopold had been murdered by a French intelligence group known The same issue carried a touching story on how an Algerian nationalist as the Red Hand . NEWSWEEK never corrected the named Si Mustapha headed the Red Hand assassination list . when a court found that he had been liquidated by a German acting Leopold story Swiss orders for having pocketed $40,000 of FLN money . Nor did NEWSWEEK put its on Algerian straight when its editor was forced to admit privately that Si Mustapha was a readers blonde German communist whom no one but a biased correspondent or one connected with CIA would have tried to pass off as an Algerian . France's efficient counter-espionage service, acting on information that Si Mustapha and Kamal had set up Leopold's assassination and tried to hang it on them, requested that the Swiss bar Kamal from Swiss territory . The Swiss refused . A brief note in files in Paris states that a screen provided by CIA saved Kamal from expulsion . Meanwhile, Nasser was forming an Egyptian-Cuba-Panama axis and activity between Jamiat al-Islam office in Geneva, Cologne, Brussels and the two Rogards in California was stepped up . Michael Clark wrote in his book that it was "thanks to his association with Ahmed Kamal, a United States citizen of Turkish descent and a benefactor of the Algerian rebellion," that Ahmed Ahmed-Bioud achieved his position of influence . Henry Taylor, the columnist, recounted in his report of March 25, 1970, how under the wing of existing Arab organizations, Sira'a, the Arab terrorist body which knew no borders, was formed "to incite young, unknown and expendable Arabs into the actual assassinations" which are necessary to "the historic struggle between Islam and all things Jewish ." Yet 52 professors in Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Brandeis, Boston and Harvard Universities signed a manifesto supporting the Algerian terrorists and desertions from (Ten years later, when America was fighting in Vietnam, leftist French the French Army . professors returned the favor) For the moment, Kamal was playing both ends, serving as courier, adviser, fund-raiser and propagandist for the FLN while enjoying prosperity and power as CIA's specialist on Algerian affairs . His greatest victory was in conning American professors, editors, officials and TV commentators into believing that if they would help Algeria defeat our NATO ally, a grateful Algeria would serve as intermediary between the hard-line Arab states and Israel . gratitude The NEW YORK TIMES was so sold on the benefits Israel would reap from Algeria's their sing 1957 and terrorists in late with the they sent Joe Kraft to live in the field

praises . Though documents found on a dead Algerian officer carried instructions on how Kraft should be duped, the Overseas Press Club of New York gave him its 1958 award for overseas reporting . Hal Lehrman, a President of the club, but with no control over its awards committee, never concealed his conviction that Kraft had been given a parade on Tunisian soil and told he was in "liberated Algeria ." Jay Lovestone, formerly secretary-general of :the Communist Party USA, mustered support for the Algerians as American labor's representative in UN, while Irving Brown, American labor's "roving ambassador" lied to Israel's sympathizers at an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers' dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, in New York . Their fears were foolish, he told them, and Michael Clark wrote on page 332 of TURMOIL IN ALGERIA : "He (Brown) gave the innocent electrical workers to understand that efforts - his efforts presumably - to direct North African nationalism into the channels of democracy would destroy the totalitarian forces of the Arab world and make for unity between the Arab countries and Israel ." The role of Ahmed Kamal and his pipeline to Washington through CIA cannot be overrated in this campaign of deception which was never a secret to anyone but the American public . MONEY AND ARMS FOR THE ALGERIANS . Claude Paillot gives precisions on page 71 of his "DOSSIER SECRET DE L'ALGERIE" on Kamal's transfer of funds to Algerian officials who later made Algeria the terrorist capital of the world . General Henri Jacquin tells on page 48 of his "LA GUERRE SECRETE DE L'ALGERIE" how Mohammed Khidder, after receiving $250,000 from the American-financed International Confederation of Free Trade Unions office in Geneva, went straight to the Quai du Mont Blacc office of the International Islamic Association and got another $250,000 check, drawn on the Arab Bank of Geneva, from Ahmed Kamal, "one of the best agents of CIA for the Arab world ." French writers, again and again, gave the date of meetings between Kamal and Algerian officials and the sums that changed hands, though no one has ascertained to date whether the million dollars Hubert Fountleroy Julian, the "Black Eagle" of Harlem, carried to Geneva for the purchase of arms was provided by Ahmed Kamal, CIA or American labor bosses . Abundant French reports gave details on Kamal's trips to East Germany and other communist countries on North African passports, but such stories never reached American newspaper readers, any more than accounts of how Cecil Hourani, Bourguiba's man, handled the funds turned over as proof that Aramco was not pro-Zionist . Editors and Congressmen who fell over themselves in the rush to ruin pro-American foreign statesmen who accepted commissions from Lockheed are not likely to go into this when Arab terrorists go into the streets of American cities . The only threat to Kamal's game which ever appeared in the American press was in Henry Taylor's syndicated column of June 1, 1962, carried in over a thousand papers . Taylor wrote : "Well, the Grand Mufti's chief of the North African section of the Nazi's subversive Deutsche Arbeits Front, whom I once interviewed in Berlin sitting crosslegged on a little rope mat, was Ahmed Ahmed-Bioud, alias Bayoud . Today this cobra's operative base is Peiping, and he serves as President Ben Kedda's traveling man in iron curtain countries with Ahmed Kamal, a United States citizen of Turkish descent ." Kamal had to frighten American editors out of writing any more about him, so he filed a suit against Taylor, but he knew he was on thin ice . There was no trace of trips to the communist bloc in his American passport, but if the fight went into the courts there was no telling what might come out . Kamal settled for $1,000 out of court . Taylor and the publishers of the New York World Telegram knew that if Kamal were sure of his ground he would never have dropped his case for such a paltry sum, but they considered their position . Public opinion had been mobilized behind the Algerians . State Department, CIA, US Information Service, the AFL-CIO, the Kennedys and the media would all have exerted pressure in a biased court . Better to pay off and let the matter drop . Now that Arab terrorists are poised to hit pro-Jewish lawmakers and institutions in the States, that situation no longer exists . The first thing the lately glamorized Ahmed ben Bella did after Algeria gained inde-

pendence and he rose to power was to offer 200,000 fighting men for the holy war against Israel . "Sandy" Griffiths, of City College of New York, and Anita Ehrman, of the Hearst press, and all Algeria's other American propagandists raised not a voice . Ahmed Kamal, his mission accomplished, dropped out of sight . In 1969 Libya's pro-American King Idriss was overthrown by Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi who proceeded to become the banker for the world's terrorists . Reports that Kamal's secret organization in Tripoli, the Jamiat al-Islam fi Ifrigya al Shamalya (Islamic organization of North Africa), had a hand in the coup, never reached American readers who would then have to be told what the organization was . Worse was yet to come . California,with its many Moslem students,was a fertile field for revolutionary activity and the fact that Jamiat al-Islam was California-based must never be forgotten . Iranian students were being regimented more fervently than ever against their Shah and all Moslems against Israel and her supporters . One of the young men recruited was an impressionable youth named Sirhan Beshira Sirhan . Sirhan was sent abroad for training and from February 5 to 21, 1964, he lived with the Al Quais al Moushi family in the al Hamra quarter of Beirut . From February 23 to March 5, 1964, he was in Chouta, near Damascus, in the home of the Halim el Halibi family, waiting to enter the terrorist training camp at Qatanah, for an advanced course in guerrilla warfare, theories of terrorism and methods of assassination . Commander of the camp was Lt . Colonel Aziz al Marouf and many of the instructors were men whom American agencies and oil men had financed through Ahmed Kamal In May 1966 Sirhan returned to Cairo and after a week in the during the Algerian war . el-Gezira hotel moved into the home of a Lebanese family named Karem, to await admittance to the Ma'adi military training center . Having proved an apt pupil he was transferred on August 3, 1966, to a more advanced terrorist training camp in Gaza along with two French Canadians and some American Black Panthers . On his return to the States he was ready for action . In Portland, Oregon, on May 26, 1968, Bobby Kennedy made it known that if he were President the U .

A FOREIGN AFFAIRS LETTER

This month let us take a look at a f have attained sensitive and high-sal by majorities which are coalitions o

of the men whose interests, though not America's, ied posts by presidential appointment or election nti-American-interest minorities .

MR . ANDREW YOUNG AND HIS FELLOW RACIST, MR.ROWAN , are appropriate subjects to start on . Joshua Nkomo is a burly 65-year-old black terrorist for whose cause Mr . Carl T . Rowan has none of the no-winism rhetoric he had when it came time to change tack on Vietnam . Nkomo and his political party, the Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU), differ not a bit from Idi Amin when it comes to dealing with opponents . Supporting them, however, Mr . Rowan tells us, offers a chance to cease "following Britain's lead in Rhodesia" and escape from "the cowardly way of avoiding development of a U .S . policy of guts and integrity ." Read : The policy that Rowan saw as murderous in Vietnam . Nkomo has an army of some 12,000 terrorists which Cuban and Russian officers have been training in Zambia since 1976 . The purpose of this army is to impose on Rhodesians the government Moscow and Andrew Young agree they will have to accept or be killed . Knowing that they would be . killed anyway in the fight between Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe for the spoils, 64 per cent of Rhodesia's blacks went to the polls in May, despite threats on their lives, and voted Bishop Abel Muzorewa into power . The U . S . Senate then voted to drop sanctions against Rhodesia . That was not what Andrew Young wanted . On Saturday, May 19, 1979, he and his friend, Nkomo, were star performers at the conference of the AFRO-AMERICAN INSTITUTE in Houston, Texas . For forty minutes the two men planned their next move . Neither Britain nor America asked Nkomo any embarrassing questions about his chuckling and sniggering when he boasted that his men had shot down a Rhodesian airliner on September 3, 1978, with a Russian Sam-7 missile, and that the ten survivors were then lined up and shot . He had no trouble entering America after this episode, nor did Britain's Labor Government withdraw the passport it had issued him . Nkomo expressed nothing but contempt for America while in Houston and declared that if our senators lift sanctions his guerrillas will impose their own . But the Russians have been breaking the boycott UN ordered against Rhodesia for years and financing Nkomo's terrorists by selling Rhodesian chrome and tobacco to the United States at a huge profit . By March 1, 1979, Nkomo was in Russia, broadcasting over Moscow radio : "Relations between the Freedom Fighters and Moscow are excellent ." Why shouldn't they be? They are Moscow's surrogates . "The Soviet Union and other socialist countries enjoy total freedom," Nkomo continued . "They are free from exploitation and all other forms of oppression . . . . . Our friendship with the Soviet Union is very close . . . . The people of the Soviet Union are openly encouraging us to dedicate ourselves to fighting for our freedom . . .

Our pains are their pains, our suffering their suffering ." This from Andrew Young's friend . What kind of a country permits a supporter of such a man to represent it in U .N .? Was Andrew young stupid or traitorous when he told Americans that the Cubans represent a force for stability in Africa? Actually, it makes little difference since the result is the same . Carl T . Rowan, who provided the black window-dressing for the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, showed the same contempt for any ideas but his own when he said President Johnson could not rely on State Department for a dynamic new sense of direction . The reason : "In the seventh floor at State there isn't a man who truly feels at ease dealing with African problems - or African diplomats ." How could there be, if the men on the seventh floor at State had any conscience? This was the period when America was destroying Tshombe for a property-acquiring tyrant . The beginning of an era when foreign aid was to become known as "money taken from the poor people in rich countries for rich people in poor countries ." THE WIDER PICTURE . Today strategic Ethiopia is a Russian satellite . Russians and Cubans are consolidating their positions in the Brazzaville Congo, for operations against Gabon and the-Central African Empire . Brazzaville has already recognized the puppet regime in Cambodia and is negotiating for membership in Comecon, the Soviet trading bloc . For years France closed her eyes to "Emperor" Jean Bokassa's vicious rule because of the rich uranium deposits in his empire . Now that the lid cannot be held on his atrocities any longer, France is taking her distance, but such things bother the Russians not at all . They are preparing to move in . Other countries marked for Russian and Cuban offensives are the Camerouns and Zaire . In 1978 forces of the Congo National Liberation Front (FNLC) swept out of Kenneth Kaunda's Zambia on a murderous rampage through the Zaire province o Shaba, killing blacks and whites indiscriminately in the copper town of Kolwezi . Nkomo is now linking up with the FLNC at a new base in northwestern Zambia for another try . It is nearer than their old staging point in Angola and this time the Russians intend to frighten the French out of sending in paratroopers . Shaba is rich in copper and two-thirds of the world's supply of cobalt is there for Russia's taking . The West is unlikely to lift a hand because of lulling stories with headings such as Carl T . Rowan's column of April 27, 1979 : "PHONY RED SCARE IN AFRICA COULD TRIGGER NEW ERRORS ." Read : There is no red threat in Africa but fear of one might make Americans call for the defense of Rhodesia and South Africa, and this would be a mistake . THOUGH ROWAN ONCE HEADED OUR U .S . INFORMATION AGENCY he has never held that a journalist is obliged to tell the truth . The Chicago Tribune of October 1, 1963, reported that the Kennedy administration's policy of seeking to control news coming out of Vietnam was instituted by a Carl T . Rowan directive of 1962, when Rowan was Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs . In a speech at New York University on September 29, 1961, Rowan told his listeners : "any contention that the people's right to know is an absolute and fundamental principle is self deception ." This was the period when Rowan was hounding writers who warned that continued support of the Ngo dinh family in Saigon would be fatal . The right of people like Andrew Young and Carl T . Rowan to suppress news which they wish suppressed and print stories which they wish the public to read is the only In his column of morally inviolate one in the eyes of Andrew Young and Carl Rowan . insanity" when we concluded July 28, 1978, Rowan called it "Africa and our political German advisers had become that African countries swarming with Russian, Cuban and East Mozambique, who for Samora Machel, of pawns of the reds . He had no words high enough recently outlawed labor unions in his country .

Since neither Rowan nor Young has ever thought of himself as an American,it is natural that Rowan should be a one-worlder and denounce nationalism, i .e ., patriotism, as a curse in his column of December 3, 1968 . "Mention 'world federalism' in the United States and some people want to have you arrested for treason," he opined . This is the man whom Alfred R . Stern, Chairman of National Broadcasting Corporation International (NBC), had as his top planning aide when both were Deputy Assistant Secretaries of State under JFK and the anti-Castro Cubans were permitted to storm the beach at the Bay of Pigs without the air cover they had been promised, the wave of Cuban-piloted planes which was to have touched off the uprising on the island . It was Alfred R . Stern, the cousin of Alfred K . Stern, then a fugitive in Russia to evade arrest as a Soviet spy, who arranged for Rowan's appointment as head of the U . S . Information Agency . The Stern Family Foundation, it will be recalled, financed Seymour Hersh's smear campaign against Lieutenant Calley for shooting snipers at My Lai to save his unit, and in so doing set another anti-American press service up in business . To return to Rowan's column of April 27, 1979, and the fears our advocate of newssuppression and news-fabrication had of Americans finding out what is really going on, "Americans will have been whipped into a frenzy of fear, even of a marvelous he whined : Christian man, Kenneth Kaunda, the President of Zambia . After all, won't Kaunda have asked Russians and Cubans to help in defending his homes and hospitals from the bombs of Ian Smith's madmen?" --Men who never made a raid except in retaliation or to prevent an attack on loyal blacks and innocent civilians from Nkomo's terrorist bases in Zambia . Rowan went on : "Americans will have forgotten that Joshua Nkomo is an intensely moral and decent man who was driven to guerrilla warfare because an uncompromising racist, Smith, left him no alternative ." No alternative to chuckling and snorting with glee when he admitted shooting down a civilian aircraft and massacring the survivors? Would Rowan consider the argument that Franco was a Christian, moral man who would never have accepted the help of the Italians and Germans if Britain, France and America had left him any alternative in his war against Moscow-directed killers? "U . S . conservatives will have helped Smith drive Nkomo deeply into debt with the Soviet Union," Rowan continued, using every argument he knew to apologize for his indefensible friend, "then the anti-communist blind men of America will say, 'You see . We told you Nkomo was a communist ."' This will make interesting reading when the next invasion of Shaba Province starts . And Bobby Kennedy called the members of the Cosmos Club, in Washington, racists because they blackballed the author of this pro-communist spiel, whose every column is an incitement of America's blacks . MARGARET THATCHER'S VICTORY IN BRITAIN leaves President Carter the choice of facing a split with Britain or shaking off the grip of Andrew Young . With Abel Muzorewa prime minister or Rhodesia and Margaret Thatcher prime minister of Britain, David Adamson "The decision to establish what willbe, wrote in the Daily Telegraph of May 23rd : despite some verbal camouflage, a permanent British representative in Salisbury could mark the parting of the ways between Britain and the United States on Rhodesia . Mr . Adamson assumes that Britain will end the senseless boycott but America will prefer to buy her Rhodesian chrome through Russia at a higher price . Mr . Cyrus Vance, the American Secretary of State and co-author of our "peace with honor" in Vietnam, is helping to bring about the split with Britain by refusing to recognize the election of Prime Minister Muzorewa, which compared to the plebiscite we set up for Ngo dinh Diem, was a model of democracy . Mr . David Adamson's final observation was brief and to the point : "Conservative belief Its attiin Britain is that the Carter Administration has no real policy on Africa . dictated by President of the party, as being tudes are seen by many, including leaders states in the southern ." Carter's need to keep the black vote

On May 22 Mrs . Thatcher assured Parliament that "responsibility for Rhodesia rests with Parliament and nowhere else ." Political correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, John O'Sullivan wrote : "Tory growls of approval suggested that 'nowhere else' meant Mr . Andy Young's desk in United Nations ." So much for America's position on Africa and the motives and persons involved . us take a glance at the latest example of congressional intelligence on Iran . Now let

THE HONORABLE PAUL SIMON ,of Illinois, did not inspire confidence when he devoted a third of a page of the CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER of October 14, 1977, to praise of Carl T . Rowan's rhapsodizing over the school system of red China, of which Mr . Rowan could not know less . Any respect the most incorrigible optimist might have had left for Congressman Simon's judgment was destroyed by the extension of remarks he inserted on page E-1002 of the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD of March 8, 1979 . For the record, let's look at it . The congressman starts by informing the Speaker of the House that "prior to the change of government in Iran I was visited by Shahriar Rhouhani, who now serves as spokesman for the Ayatollah Khomeini . Mr . Rhouhani is a 20-year-old doctoral student at Yale who is bright, dedicated and sensitive ." Instead of "I was visited by", Congressman Simon should have said : "The forty-year-old professional revolutionaries regimenting the 50,000 Iranians registered in the United States as students but too old to look like one of them sent a 20-year-old youngster to my office . He was immature but primed with dialectics compiled by the party's combined thinkers, so he had an answer for everything . My name had probably been given to him along with other congressmen considered pushovers for a revolutionary cause, even one out to destroy a ruler bringing Moslem wrath on his head for defending Israel and supplying 80 per cent of Israel's oil ." You can bet that .Shahriar-Rhouhani and the other smoothies canvassing congress for anti-Shah support never called on any conservatives . That is what an inDedicated to destroying orderly Iran he was, but sensitive, no . telligent congressman would have put in the record . Mr . Simon neglected to state what kind of a doctorate Rhouhani was working for at Yale or how often he attended classes, much less that he had previously been a student at Berkeley, where another leftistindoctrinated Moslem named Prince Faisal studied political science before going home to It would be interesting to know what sort of credentials, shoot his uncle, the King . if any, Rhouhani presented the gentleman from Illinois, that a congressman should risk his reputation by dignifying a scruffy 20-year-old with the title of "spokesman for the Ayatollah Khomeini'in Washington ." Rhouhani had no day to day contact with the Ayatollah . This student rioter, many of whose comrades wore hoods, could have been anything . He had never been appointed to set up a Washington office by anyone but the well-funded trouble-makers who had long since_ ceased to look young enough to inspire sympathy or disarm gullible congressmen who might otherwise have second thoughts . Consequently we have in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD the letter which Congressman Simon wrote to Rhouhani on March 1, 1979, out of gratitude for having been honored by his It seems stretching the point a bit to describe as "sensitive" a young man who visit . announced on February 21, 1979, that "the revolution will hunt down the Shah and bring (Adolf Eichmann was kidnapped and spirited out of him back to Teheran like Eichmann ." Intelligence, to be tried and executed in Israel on May 21, 1962) Argentina by Israeli After addressing the 20-year-old leader of iron-bar-wielding mobs with hoods on their heads as "Dear Friend," the congressman expresses particular pleasure at Rhouhani's assurance that the Ayatollah was inaccurately quoted and that oil shipments will be resumed as soon as Israel "reaches a1 agreement with her :Arab neighbors ." Over Jerusalem and settlements on the West Bank? That will be the day . While Rhouhani was telling liberal congressmen and editors what would make themtappy,

Iran put her first prominent Jewish businessman before a Teheran firing squad on May 9, "for aiding God's enemy, Israel ." On the same day the Ayatollah called on the Egyptian people to "cut off the hand which signed the treaty with Israel, which was an act of treason to the Islamic world ." By May 22 leaders of Iran's Jewish community were advising their members to flee the country - if they can get exit permits . The Washington Post announced on May 14 that in no other country in the world is being a Jew capital punishment . Monsieur Eric Roulieau reported in Paris' daily, LE MONDE, that suspects charged with Zionism are accused of revolt against God, brought before judges in an Islamic "popular court composed of mullahs and revolutionaries, where they try to defend themselves without lawyers, are condemned and immediately led to a place of execution ." Congressman Simon should write another letter to his friend and Illinois should elect a congressman . Now let us consider some quotations from a South Dakota senator whose pontifications, like the Ayatollah's, came from God . SENATOR GEORGE McGOVERN (D .SOUTH DAKOTA ) confirmed everything Asians thought about Americans when one of his speeches was re-broadcast over Hong Kong TV on December 20, 1968 . Picture the scene : Masses of Asians who knew communism first hand and Ho chi Minh's plan for the unification of Indochina, Burma and Thailand in a red federation ruled by Hanoi . And a drop-out preacher from land-locked South Dakota tells them Vietnam's Vice-President Nguyen cao Ky "is a Benedict Arnold who sold out to the French," because he did not fight for communists . Read : McGovern was sorry that what is happening now did not happen in 1950 . In late June, 1970, McGovern went a step further in Hanover, New Hampshire . "If there is one dominant threat to our foreign policy," he told his listeners, "it is the negative ideology of anti-communism ." On December 14, 1971, McGovern stood on a podium in Beverly Hills, California, and called for an end to American bombing in Indo-China . "Except for Adolf Hitler's extermination of the Jewish people, the American bombardment of defenseless peasants in Indo-China is the most barbaric act of modern times," he told students who wanted nothing better than encouragement to dodge the draft . In Vietnam, pilots and Vietnamese were complaining that civilians in Washington would not let them bomb meaningful targets, but McGovern ranted on with his mock piety, courting a generation of cowards who feared the draft and parents who spoiled their sons . The defeat McGovern and his ilk made inevitable drove more than 900,000 Vietnamese to flee their country , for places that do not want them . Unknown thousands were lost at sea in sinking ships they preferred to life at home . Over 250,000 are crowded in refugee camps waiting for some country to accept them and half a million more are expected to get out of Vietnam in the next twelve months . As for the two and a half million massacred Cambodians, victims of our "negative ideology", the South Dakota apologist for murderers worse than Hitler has not a word . Mr . Fred Emery described a conversation with Senator McGovern in the London TIMES, of April 19, 1972 . The senator told Emery he "strongly believed that Hanoi would, in return (for withdrawal of all American troops within 90 days), release American prisoners of war and guarantee the safe withdrawal of American forces . But, and here he went further than his previous positions,"even if Hanoi refused the deal he would still withdraw, leaving the prisoners behind ." This of the enemy that denied it had a single soldier south of the 17th parallel, that executed Sergeant Harold George Bennet and so many others, to show us they could do it . And Valerie Kushner, of Danville, Virginia, the wife of a POW, campaigned for McGovern! TIME magazine of October 23, 1972, quoted another McGovern twisting of truth to advance

himself : "Pierre Mendes-France managed to stop the fighting within five weeks after he won the premiership on an end-the-war platform in 1954 ; France's 11,000 POWs were repatriated within three months," declared McGovern . No one told the voters whom McGovern was duping that Pierre Mendes-France, a socialist member of the National Assembly, had blocked appropriations for the materiel General Navarre needed to win the Battle of Dien Bien Phu . While keeping French soldiers short of materiel, Mendes-France's secret negotiator talked with the enemy for over a year and told Hanoi : "Win that battle and Mendes-France will stop the war . Throw everything you have into it ; you won't need any reserves ." When France lost the battle, Mendes-France toppled the government for failing to win . He used the defeat to put himself in power and after an indescribable martyrdom not three months - a few of the walking dead were handed over . Counting French soldiers, Foreign Legionaires, black Africans and North African colonial troops, 39,888 - not 11,000 were in enemy hands . 9,934 came back, approximately one out of four . The reason the number was as high as it was was because Arab and black troops had been groomed to spread revolution when they got home . The London DAILY TELEGRAPH of October 22, 1972, quoted John Connally as stating on TV : "Mr . McGovern said : 'I don't believe the Russians would even test me, because they would regard me as a friend and would do everything to keep my friendship ."' Mr . Connally observed : "If McGovern believes this he is not living in the real world . . . . They (the Russians) make foreign policy decisions on the basis of communist ideology and Soviet national interests . Anyone who thinks otherwise does not belong in the Oval Room of the White House ." On May 4, 1975, McGovern told the anti-war-in-Vietnam students of Eastern Illinois University : "I have never thought that more than a handful of government leaders were in any real danger of reprisals . . . . 90% of the Vietnamese refugees would be better off going back to their own country ." And South Dakotans still send this man to Washington . Mr . McGovern should spend a week with the Vietnamese boat people and South Dakota should elect a senator . But enough of the man whom Nguyen cao Ky might refer to today as a Benedict Arnold . Let us take a look at other areas where America is adrift . AS CONFIDENCE IN THE PRESIDENT EVAPORATES , the bank scandals, errors in judgment and appointments of out and out subversives pile up . Samuel Winfred Brown, Jr ., boasted in October 1969, that he could pick up a telephone and his lieutenants all over America would know what to do to touch off a demonstration against the war we were fighting so the boat people of today would not be lost at sea and Cambodians massacred like animals . Today Sam Brown holds a $52,000-a-year job as Director of ACTION and handles the spending of $200 million of American taxpayer's money . Vietnam and Cambodian refugee publications, please note : In November 1969 Sam Brown told New York City TV listeners that he favored a Vietcong victory . Marge Tabankian, who betrayed America's suffering POWs in Vietnam by coming home and telling Americans that the men who would have been tortured if they refused to smile in front of her were living high, now has a high-paying job on Carter's Youth Project . The first question American POWs asked as they came down the ramp of the plane that flew them from Vietnam to the American base in the Philippines was : "Is Jane Fonda in prison yet?" Not only is Jane not in prison, she is using her name value as an actress to pass herself off as an authority on the dangers of nuclear energy . In the communist bloc development of nuclear energy is proceeding full blast . In America the question is : If we get rid of Carter before he disarms us completely, what do we have? The men who pushed him upward are dropping one liability only to pick up another . The movement to draft Teddy Kennedy has already been launched . The most notable reaction to date is a stanza of graffiti entitled : The Kennedy family credo . It goes : Lives of great men all remind us We can win out in the race If like them we leave behind us Footprints in somebody's face,----And that includes the race to get out ofj*~fTgged automobile .

When Europeans voted on June 10 to elect a 410-member parliament for the Common Market, Americans, as well as citizens of the countries concerned, treated the event with the apathy which those who had been working for years to establish a new world order desired . Yet,the election of that parliament which will represent some 250 million people and which on July 17 elected a President of Europe marked a break-through for a movement that has been inching forward since the day in May 1776 when Adam Weishaupt and his group of Bavarians saw themselves as an elite predestined to package and rule the world . No mass circulation publication in America has pointed out to its readers that France's President Giscard d'Estaing, while a candidate for the presidency of Europe, ceased to use the word sovereignty in his speeches . Sovereignty has been replaced by autonomy ; communists were referred to as "the opposition" and socialists as "the immense group of the center ." Madame Simone Veil, the French survivor of Auschwitz was elected Europe's President by the votes of social democrats because she legalized abortion while she was France's Minister of Health . Mr . Don Bell in his excellent report of January 13, 1978, quoted a question asked by the late General P . A . Del Valle (U . S . Marine Corps, retired) : "Is it not our government's intention to follow the foreign policy of the now declassified National Security Council Report No . 68 whose language points clearly to the intention to 'Reduce the USA to the point where our people can merge comfortably with Soviet Russia?" (Don Bell Report, $24 per year, P . 0 . Box 2223, Palm Beach, Florida 33480) This was the platform of all of the candidates for the presidency of Europe and of powerful interlocking groups in the United States . It entailed the repudiation of patriotism, and establishment of a supranational government palmed off on the people for a time as an economic union and not political . With America's entry the European federation will become Atlantic and through step-by-step expansion a one-world government . Europe plus America is sometimes referred to as Euro-Atlantis . To understand the comparative ease with which those out to destroy nationhood achieved their election of a European Parliament on June 10, 1979, let us turn back to World War I and study the chain of events through which free men have been led to surrender sovereignty . LONG BEFORE WORLD WAR I men like Colonel Edward House were dreaming of a utopian superstate void of national loyalties and governed by an elite which would create or eliminate shortages at will . Visionaries like Jean Gabriel Monnet, who had no formal education, and Joseph Retinger, the Pole who lived by promoting causes, used the prestige of the titled and the wealth of the rich to work towards a one world government which, once established, could never be overthrown . Millionaires who put their fortunes, acquired through free enterprise, into tax-free foundations for the advancement of one-worldism were lauded as philanthropists, and Mr . Rowan Gaither, the President of Ford Foundation,

boasted : "The objective is to so alter life in the United States that we can be comfortably merge with the Soviet Union ." The word "comfortably" was an insult to the intelligence of anything but a herd . What is surprising is the ease with which the West was duped . In 1918 Leon Trotsky wrote in BOLSHEVIKI AND WORLD PEACE : "The task of the proletariat is to create a far more powerful fatherland, with far greater power of resistance - the Republican United States of Europe as the foundation of the United States of the world ." Trotsky saw an ever-expanding government of Europe as the seed-group from which communism's world government would spring, and he already recognized "peace" as the word which would make sovereignty unimportant to the comfortable . Lenin, as far back as the 20's, wrote in his TREATISE ON THE TASKS OF THE YOUTH LEAGUE "As an ultimate objective 'peace' simply means communist world control ." Whether used by leftist professors to send rioting students into the streets during the war in Vietnam, or demagogic politicians selling a worthless arms limitation treaty, "peace" is still infallible as an argument for surrender . After World War I the League of Nations was meant to be the core around which the new world order would be formed and inevitably peace was the argument, but the ties of patriotism and tradition were still too strong . Three empires, six kingdoms and twenty-nine duchies and principalities had been swept from the face of the earth because their rulers had led them into a war which they did not win, and what supplanted them was worse . Still, love of country remained, so the spoilers equated love of country with desire for war . Oswald Spengler and Count Keyserling, the Balt, watched the props being pulled from under nations and reflected : "Modern man rejects everything that reason cannot understand and destroys with an epigram institutions reared by the inarticulate wisdom of the centuries ." Defeat in the field, the one-worlders saw, is followed by revolution at home, but no-winism - the deliberate withholding of victory from an army capable of winning, and providing a breathing spell for the army about to go under - would demoralize both potential victor and vanquished and leave divided nations conditioned for the new world order . WORLD WAR I WAS INTENDED TO BE THE LAST VICTORY-AS-AN-OBJECTIVE WAR . Mr . C . L . Sulzberger, the Bilderberg member who has never published a line on the meetings he attends, exposed one of their conspiratorial objectives when he wrote in his column of January 9, 1971 : "There has been a steady, if occasionally interrupted, growth of the idea that the only purpose of U . S . Military preparation is either deterrence of war, or, if need be, war in which there is no winner . That is to say neither victory nor defeat . This concept can be traced back as far as Woodrow Wilson, who in January 1917, urged the belligerents of World War I to accept 'peace without victory .' Every President since Truman has accepted the Wilsonian credo of peace without victory ." This was in reality the credo of Colonel House and it explains to America's embittered soldiers and the boat people of Vietnam why our great newspapers and TV chains and certain congressmen took the lines they did . Those talking drivel about a "comfortable" merger of the U . S . with Russia in a one-government world were still refining their plans when on May 11, 1931, an event occurred which was like an act of providence to the scheming one-worlders . Austria's great banking house, Credit Anstalt, went to the wall . Austria's economy had been based on an empire . Stripped of her empire the dismembered body with Vienna for a heart could no longer live . When the wheels began grinding to a halt, Austrian bankers staved off disaster by long-term loans from Britain and British bankers raised the capital by long-term, low-interest borrowing at home . The day Austria could no longer pay her notes the wave of bankruptcies started, and Britain attempted to stem the tide by across-the-board cuts in salaries in every sector, including the armed forces . On Sunday, September 12, 1931, a communist seaman named Leonard Wincott led a mutiny aboard the fleet that was Britain's pride, considered by the world to be incorruptible and the policeman of the sealanes . Panic ensued . Those plotting a new world order had found the secret : Separate nations from their colonies and both will be up for grabs . Nine days after the mutiny at Invergordon Britain went off the gold standard and the era of managed paper money began . Scandinavian countries tied to the pound sterling saw their

money fall against currencies still tied to gold . More countries devaluated in order to save their exports, and with no fixed medium of exchange, capital fled from one country to another in search of constant assets . Credit Anstalt's collapse and the chaos that followed taught the one-worlders that there are no patriots when the citizens' life savings are threatened . Break up the mosaic of mother countries and their colonies and a desperate people will serve up their sovereignty on a tray to save what is personally theirs . IN GERMANY THE FANATIC WHO WAS TO TAKE OVER AUSTRIA BY PROMISING SALVATION WAS RISING . German communists thought they could outsmart him by helping him into power and from his falling hands seize control . French communists demanded that their political bureau find out why Moscow was going easy on Hitler, when Nazis were assassinating red militants in the streets and decapitating others with hatchets in courtyards . To the delegation they sent to Moscow the Komintern secretary, Dimitrov, replied : "It will take years for you French communists to understand that Hitler is involuntarily serving the designs of the International ; that he is aggravating the contradictions of capitalism, dividing the bourgeoisie, and creating conditions for a revolutionary crisis which will be born in Germany and spread over the rest of Europe ." Advocates of the new world order saw unpreparedness as a prerequisite for acceptance of the superstate they planned to offer as an assurance of peace . Americans were told not to mention the word war, because refusal to mention it would prevent there being one . Paul-Henri Spaak, the socialist, blocked an appropriation for defense in the Belgian parliament, then in 1952 deposed his King for surrendering when his army had no ammunition . Yet Spaak became civilian head of NATO! Britain's Labor Party used election posters showing a baby wearing a gas-mask, as though a vote for Conservatives was a vote for war . Two things saved the West . The atrocities of Hitler's gas chambers and Germany's invasion of Russia made World War II the personal conflict of the sort of Thus World War II became what may well be people who tore America apart over Vietnam . last war with victory an objective . Since our allies of World War II the world's as victori ous, they could not dismembered as Austria was after World War I The were be was to embroil them in colonial wars in which defeat would be imposed on mother solution countries capable of victory . In this context, Vietnam was America's synthetic colonial war . In Europe one-worlders, plotting to set up their Common Market as a mask for political federation, used the line that the day of the small nation state is past . Only by banding together and accepting regional status in a super-state could the former sovereign nations hope to exist . Cyrus Sulzberger, the Bilderberg insider, admitted the intentions of himself and his colleagues when he wrote on April 10, 1976 : "The continent's most splendid dream following World War II has been the European Economic Community or Common Market, which was designed to lead nations that had lost their global influence into a political confederation based on joint trading and financial interests ." The truth is, nations were stripped of their global influence so that they would accept minority status in a "political confederation" to save what was left, after which membership in a federated super-state would be forced upon them . This is how the European parliamentary elections of June 10, 1979, were made possible . Patriotism was the main obstacle, so while the West was brainwashed with the line that patriotism is nationalism and therefore an evil, Africans and Asians were sold nationalism as a reason for revolt . Adlai Stevenson, whom architects of the new world order tried to foist on America as president, wrote an article for Harper's magazine called "The Hard Kind of Patriotism," which should be a collector's item today . Love of country was deprecated as a narrow evil and patriotism to a world state extolled . A SELF APPOINTED ELITIST NAMED CORD MEYER JR., stood on the platform with Alger Hiss and Harold Stassen in San Francisco on June 26, 1945, when the U .N . charter of President Roosevelt's "Grand Design" was signed, after which he founded the UNITED WORLD FEDERALISTS and became its first president . "Anarchy threatens us . in unbridled growth of national-

ism (read patriotism) and insistency upon the sovereignty of nations," he wrote . This man, stupid enough to believe that refusal to surrender our sovereignty to a socialist world dictatorship would doom us to anarchy, then joined CIA, an agency where patriotism should be a prerequisite . While his estranged wife smoked marijuana in a White House bedroom with JFK and his brother-in-law, Benjamin Bradlee of the Washington Post, ran cover for the Kennedys, Cord Meyer, Jr ., rose to the top in the intelligence agency which Thomas Braden decreed would work with and for only the "non-communist left" around the world . Part of the phenomena of the conspiracy to form a world government is the extent to which intelligence services, whose members should be motivated by loyalty to country, have furthered the movement to destroy national identity . On page 50 of the soft cover edition of "A Man Called Intrepid" readers are told how William Stevenson, Britain's wartime intelligence chief in America, met a girl named Mary French Simmons on a boat, returning to England in 1924, and was drawn to her by her interest in Winston Churchill's advocacy of a United Europe . Attracted by their mutual interest in a strong man who could "lead the United States and a United Europe together," the two were married . The main theme of this book is William Stevenson's close cooperation with General "Wild Bill" Donovan, the head of America's OSS . Averell Harriman was ambassador to Britain and his friend, Robert Murphy, whose OSS men, posing as consuls, had incited North Africa against France during the war, was ambassador to Belgium when Cord Meyer, Jr ., was gaining followers . Murphy was working closely with Paul-Henri Spaak, the Belgian known as Mr . Socialist, who was a disciple of Jean Monnet . As ambassador to Belgium Murphy was in a position to help Duncan Sandys and Joseph Retinger sell their EUROPEAN MOVEMENT, which, Europeans were told, would make them strong enough to defy America and then make America join the movement or be excluded from their super-government regulated markets . Harriman and Murphy sent Sandys and Retinger to John McCloy, the U . S . High Commissioner to Germany, who had millions of dollars in foreign bank notes at his disposal . These were known as counterpart funds acquired by making European nations pay for Marshall Plan aid in printing-press money which America promised not to convert into hard currency . Actually, this paper fortune in payment for aid administered by men like Milton Katz, who in 1973 gave Harriman his approval of Carter, and the two "roving labor ambassadors," Irving Brown and Jay Lovestone, belonged to the American taxpayer, and useful European products could have been bought with it . Instead, McCloy gave it to Sandys and Retinger The Marshall Plan will to undermine nation states we told the taxpayers we were aiding . in time be exposed as a poisoned gift administered by subversives out to package impoverished mother countries and prematurely-liberated colonies in a supra-nationalist socialist state, with labor union bosses governing its regions . While McCloy financed the campaign against national governments in Europe, "front" organizations proliferated there and in America to con the public into thinking that only a regional trade union was being erected, to do away with customs barriers and passports . In 1949 the AMERICAN COMMITTEE ON UNITED EUROPE went into action at 537 Fifth Avenue, New York . Who headed it? General William J . "Wild Bill" Donovan, America's wartime head of OSS and William Stevenson's colleague . There were no dues and its publications, such as "The Council of Europe and the Schuman Plan," were free . Of Schuman, who was to become a French leader in the Common Market, more later . The UNITED WORLD FEDERALISTS, which Cord Meyer, Jr ., had formed in 1947, was humming at 125 Broad Street, New York, distributing a "Plan for Peace," a disarmament pamphlet and a radio script called WORLD PEACE ROUND-UP . The plot to strip America of her defenses and lead her into a foreigndominated soclialist state where she will be a minority is invariably sugar-coated as a prescription for peace . Another front, the UNITED WORLD MOVEMENT, had been operating in Trenton, New Jersey, since 1943 . Across the ocean, French one-worlders were directing a no-winism war in Indo-China which their American counterparts would take up later .

THE WAR IN INDO-CHINA STARTED IN EARLY FEBRUARY 1945 , when "Wild-Bill" Donovan's man, Major Paul Helliwell, gave 20,000 cartridges and some guns to Ho chi Minh, knowing they would be used to kill Frenchmen who were serving as the eyes and ears of General Claire Chennault . From that initial contribution America's arming and training of the force which would ultimately kill some forty thousand American boys and divide America expanded . The man who was successively Minister of Finance, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs when the French Army was being knifed in the back by its government was Robert Schuman, whose plan for a United Europe was being circulated by "Wild-Bill" Donovan's committee . When the French Army was crying for materiel at Dien Bien Phu the French Minister of National Defense was Mr . Ren6 Pleven, one of the leaders and founders of the Common Market which now has its own parliament . Socialist leader, Francois Mitterand, wined and dined by the Rockefellers and the Council on Foreign Relations when he comes to America, was Minister of the Interior, in control of the police machinery of France, while the French Organization of Communist Women was sending Ho chi Minh medical supplies which the French Army did not have . Those working to destroy nationhood by demoralizing countries were good psychologists and knew that to force no-winism on an army one has to take into consideration the national characteristics of those with whom one is dealing . NO-WINISM IS IMPOSED BY CIVILIANS , and as the war in Algeria showed, the French Army would have rebelled if sent into battle and told it could not win. Schuman, Pleven and their clique accordingly talked patriotism, praised their army and told it to win but deprived it of the means, always with communist assistance . Watching the French struggle through 1947 and '48, American one-worlders harped on the necessity of civilian control over the military, which was ridiculous because control over the military they had always had . Through a high-pressure campaign in Washington they extended their control over our military until even tactical decisions on the field would be made at home by men assuring the world that military victory is not our objective, should the situation arise . Where the French had been told to defeat Ho chi Minh but denied the means, our soldiers were flooded with materiel which far-off civilians prevented them from using effectively . This provided time for our press and our Jane Fondas and Sam Browns to work on mothers and those eligible for the draft . Military defeat in winnable colonial wars conditioned Europeans for submission to a superstate with its new parliament and ponderous bureaucracy . Vietnam conditioned America for where we are being led . HENRY CABOT LODGE DISAPPEARED FROM HIS POST AT U .N. in 1961 and surfaced in Paris as head of the Atlantic Institute, which was the propaganda machine, oiled and ready to start running when the time came to lead bewildered Americans into the European superstate in the embryo . Through the early 60s H . du B . Reports wrote again and again that the European Economic Community was a temporary screen for the Atlantic Political Day after day Henry Community which would emerge when America would be brought in . time away over luncheon in the exclusive - and expensive - Cercze Cabot Lodge whiled his Gladwyn (Now Lord Gladwyn, friend, the British one-worlder, Sir Jebb . InteraZZie with his are concerned .) he color-blind where blue and red who says is Mr . Pierre Uri, the Frenchman dedicated to a world socialist state, helped a long list of socialist committee members that included Belgium's Paul van Zeeland, put out an Atlantic Institute progress report in which Cabot Lodge announced that their decolonization objectives had been achieved . What right did Cabot Lodge and the Atlantic Institute (See more on Lodge and Atlantic Union have to sow revolt in the colonies of our allies? in H . du B . Report of Oct . 1972) A short time later Mr . Robert Schaetzel, the U . S . ambassador to the Common Market, was given leave to write a book for the Council on Foreign Relations explaining the advantage of membership in the Common Market, and Mr . Lodge's "Atlanticists" in Paris brought out a book which Harper & Row published in English . The Harper & Row edition, meant for American consumption, was called PARTNERSHIP FOR PROGRESS, A PROGRAM FOR TRANSATLANTIC ACTION, but the French version was named DIALOGUE OF THE CONTINENTS . This, if it means anything, suggests that someone was already thinking of the Trilateral Commission which was set up as Jimmy Carter's prep school as election of the Common Market Parliament approached . As silently as he had

arrived, Cabot Lodge disappeared from his Paris club in 1963, destined to be the Republican, at least by label, who would be holding the bag when the Ngo Dinh Diem regime, which Allen Dulles had installed over South Vietnam, was toppled . The Atlantic Institute, however, remained ready for action and on March 28, 1966, James Reston wrote in the New York Times : "The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has been holding hearings this week on a resolution which would make an Atlantic Federation the aim of American policy in Europe ." In the April 1966 issue of FOREIGN AFFAIRS Schaetzel demanded : "If the loss of national sovereignty is good for Europe why isn't it good for us?" A strange coincidence : Mike Mansfield was head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and today he is ambassador to Japan, the third leg of the Trilateral Commission in which America serves as the link between Japan and the Common Market through the special relationship period . Surely James Reston and our Senate Foreign Relations Committee knew that an Atlantic Federation, once formed, could break America if she did not join it . The year the Trilateral Commission was formed, in 1973, Mr . Charles Dupuy, the Grand Master of the Masonic Grand Lodge of France, announced : "We are working towards a universal republic and that republic starts with Europe!" BRITISH PUBLIC OPINION WAS SO AGAINST MEMBERSHIP in a European grouping from which there can be no withdrawal and which has federation as its aim, a referendum was planned to decide the issue . Two months before the referendum, Mr . Cord Meyer, Jr ., the enemycf national sovereignty, was appointed CIA station chief in London and understandably the anti-Common Marketeers lost . After a suitable time had elapsed, Mr . Meyer retired from CIA and now writes a syndicated column for Americans . THE TIME HAD COME FOR ELECTION OF A EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT . President Giscard d'Estaing told his followers to be patient, in an interview with FRANCE SOIR on March 22, 1979 . "The great public does not understand the subleties of the jurists," he stated with the contempt of a one-worlder for the masses . He warned that the time is not yet ripe to "A confederated Europe means a Europe in which talk of "supranationality" and explained : national policy will be determined by unanimous accord of the heads of government . . . . In a federated Europe the opposite will be the case . Laws voted by the European parliament will apply to all ." Mr . William Pfaff wrote in the May 9, 1979, issue of the International Herald Tribune (owned by the New York Times and The Washington Post) :"For more than 70 years Americans have advised Europeans to establish a political federation on the U . S . model . . . . The argument that federation makes you strong is not true if the units in the federation preserve what was once known in the U .S . as 'States' Rights' ." Are there no longer states' rights today? The insiders did not embarrass candidates for the European Parliament by asking them to take a stand before the elections of June 10 . Human nature took care of everything . To a man they assured their electors that national rights would be preserved . On becoming members of the new parliament their first act was to call for more power . In the last paragraph of H . du B . Report of March 1977 we wrote : "The drive to bring America into Atlanticus will move into the open in the last year of the first term of Jimmy Carter's administration . America will be a province with ten regions . Unless America wakes up ." On April 11, 1973, President Nixon told Congress : "The preferential trading agreements enjoyed by the European Community discriminate against America . Such articif ial barriers cost America several thousand million dollars each year, and even an economy such as ours can ill afford such losses ." It takes no bright economist to know what kind of a solution our Rockefeller, Brzezinski team is going to try to put over before their man is ousted from the driver's seat . 0 .

Atlantic Institute
Those even vaguely interested in reports that the Atlantic Institute is about to merge with the Trilateral Commission because of the overlapping of their interests would find material for thought in a short item which appeared in the London DAILY TELEGRAPH of January 4, 1971 . With all the guilelessness in the world, readers were told : "The Atlantic Institute is a body that shuns the limelight and just keeps slogging away in the background, encouraging experts on world problems to meet each other and produce, if not solutions, at least comprehensive explanations of the problems themselves ." The most uninformed citizen could not have failed to see that there was something conspiratorial about an organization which feared the limelight but slogged away in the background with men dubbed "experts on world affairs" because they agreed with the men who were shunning the limelight . The rest of the story would have been even more alarming to a public not brainwashed to the point of immunity to shock . "Its (the Atlantic Institute's) latest offering is a slim volume which analyzes relations between the United States, the Soviet Union and Red China and bears the signature of Michel Tatu, assistant editor of LE MONDE, published simultaneously in French and English . The booklet examines first 'antagonisms' then 'collusions' between Moscow and Washington, Moscow and Peking and Washington and Peking . The booklet is obtainable from the Atlantic Institute, 120 rue de Longchamp, Paris 16 . 10 shillings a copy or by subscription (four publications a year) 34 shillings ." A lot of money must have been behind this institute which provided publications for barely the price of postage and offered English editions through its London correspondent, the Hon . William Buchan, at 12 Grenville Place, London S .W .7 . Since the political coloration of LE MONDE is similar to that of the New York Times, a less selective investigative reporter than the stars of the Washington Post would have asked "What is this Atlantic Institute which Michel Tatu tells us has all the facts about a three-way collusion between countries we have been led to regard as enemies?" Had any mass-circulation American paper reported in plain English that a small group of one-worlders, without a mandate from anyone, was working to replace "antagonism" between Moscow and Washington, Moscow and Peking and Washington and Peking, with "collusion" between the three, under cover of an institute registered with the French Prefecture of Some would even Police as a cultural organization, there would have been an outcry . have remembered the boast of Rowan Gaither, the President of Ford Foundation, that "The objective is to so alter life in the United States that we can comfortably be merged with the Soviet Union ." By a strange coincidence, the above January 4, 1971 story in the Daily Telegraph appeared on the same day as Bilderberg-member Cyrus Sulzberger's article in praise of no-

winism for the West, while the communist bloc leaves no doubt that victory is their goal . "Every President since Truman," Sulzberger wrote, "has accepted the Wilsonian credo of peace without victory," since "military victory, like concepts of unconditional surrender, has been recognized as obsolete since the end of World War II ." Not by the Vietnamese boat people and Cambodians pulling plows, it hasn't! THE SILENCE OF THE PRESS CONCERNING ATLANTIC INSTITUTE is unforgivable . H du B . Reports harped on it in its issues of February, September and July-August 1963 . Again in February, May, July-August and September 1964 we wrote of this organization set up in Paris, staffed and ready to swing into action at the push of a button with the aim of bringing the United States into the European Common Market which had been brought into being by the signing of the Treaty of Rome in 1957 . Mr . Mark Jones, the noted economist, published a special report on Atlantic Institute in the National Economic Council newsletter of September 15, 1966, and H . du B . Reports returned to it in October 1972 and March 1978 . Now that our dollar, deprived of its metal backing, has hit its lowest point in history and an oil threat, itself largely conspiratorial, has turned the American public into a horde of lemmings, more and more stories are beginning to appear on the possibility of a merger of Atlantic Institute and the Trilateral Commission which selected, fabricated and elected Jimmy Carter . on January 18, 1978, a Washington Post dispatch announced that "The Trilateral Commission - many of whose members moved into influential positions in the Carter Administration - is considering a merger with another private organization of prominent international leaders . The prospective partner is the Paris-based Atlantic Institute . . . . . . George Franklin, the Trilateral Commission's coordinator, said yesterday that the merger idea is prompted by the fact that the two organizations overlap ." Note that both bodies are "private organizations," which is to say that they have no mandate from the public, but their self-selected members are accorded "prominent international leader" status, and that their aim is to decide and impose policies is unconcealed . Mr . Martin Hillenbrandt, a former U . S . ambassador to West Germany, as current director of the Atlantic Institute, stated, "At any given time there is probably an overlapping group of ten to twenty individuals who hold membership in both ." Through how many members the two organizations mesh gears with the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderbergers can be easily ascertained . An Associated Press story in the Atlanta Journal, a pro-Carter daily, of February 8, 1979, explained that when Zbigniew Brzezinski left the Trilateral Commission in 1977 to enter the Carter Administration, "the commission was decentralized to give the headquarters in Japan and France a more equal policy voice with the U . S . headquarters," and this brought about the possibility that "the commission's work will be assumed by the Atlantic Institute for International Affairs in Paris ." This may have been the first inkling that the public had that there was a Trilateral Commission headquarters in Paris, or that the Atlantic Institute, registered as a cultural organization, was a meddler in international affairs, so let us go back to the beginning and consider how the Atlantic Institute came about . THE BACKGROUND . In 1938 an ardent one-worlder and supporter of the League of Nations named Clarence Streit began urging Americans to call for "Union Now ." Streit wanted to form a federal super-government composed of fifteen democracies which would serve as the nucleus around which further states would form in an ever widening circle, until one federal government ruled the world In 1941 Streit joined in the call for "Union now with Britain," still determined that this would launch the movement under which all people would have common citizenship in a state too powerful for any group with nostalgies of sovereignty to challenge . It would impose taxes, make and enforce laws, coin money and instead of armed forces, In 1942 John Foster Dulles signed a petition maintain a police for suppressing protests .

urging Congress to draw the U . S . into a world government . Similar movements were afoot in Europe led by such men as France's Jean Monnet, Joseph Retinger, the Pole, Robert Schuman who was born a subject of the Kaiser but became France's prime minister in time to impose no-winism on a war in Indo-China, and PaulHenri Spaak, the Belgian, whose only loyalty was to the Socialist International but who none the less became secretary-general of NATO . While American labor organizers, such as the notorious Irving Brown, mobilized mobs and incited strikes for premature independence in colonies where blood-baths were to follow, the mother countries were promised prosperity if they would give up their sovereignty . Cyrus Sulzberger, the New York Times member of the Bilderbergers, advanced the line of the Euro-Atlantic con men when he wrote on April 10, 1976 : "The continent's most splended dream following World War II has been the European Economic Community or Common Market, which was designed to lead nations that had lost their global influence into a political confederation based on joint trading and financial interests ." In reality, Europe's empires were stripped of their possessions so that they would have to join a federated super-state temporarily palmed off as a confederation if they wanted to survive . While Stalin prepared to rake in their former colonies Churchill threw his immense influence behind the enemies of nationhood by going to Zurich on September 19, 1946, and calling for a United Europe . Patriotism was the first obstacle that had to be destroyed and as the European Movement worked towards that end in Europe, Cord Meyer, Jr ., the American, was writing that "Anarchy threatens us in the unbridled growth of nationalism (read patriotism) and insistance upon the sovereignty of nations ." The United World Federalists of which Meyer was founder and first president was on its way . In Britain Ambassador Averell Harriman worked for Joseph Retinger, the Polish freeloader, and his associate, Duncan Sandys, and the one-world seed-group into which the insiders planned to eventually merge America . Adolf Berle, Jr ., became the movement's representative in the U . S . and Retinger wrote in his diary : "Whenever we needed any assistance for a United Europe, John Foster Dulles was among those to help us most ." John McCloy, as we have previously reported, held huge sums of European banknotes which he had received as High Commissioner for Germany in payment for Marshall Plan goods . America had promised not to try to convert this paper money into hard currency so, at the suggestion of Averell Harriman and Robert Murphy, our ambassador to Belgium and close friend of Paul-Henri Spaak, Mr . McCloy gave Retinger and Duncan Sandys the funds to finance their campaign for a United States of Europe. In reality, McCloy was padding his own future . By 1967 he was president of the Atlantic Institute whose advocates of including America in the one-world seed-group were known as Euro-Atlanticists . FRONT ORGANIZATIONS BEGAN TO PROLIFERATE . In 1949 the Atlantic Union Committee was set up at 537 Fifth Avenue, in New York, with its own "Atlantic Union Committee News" and branches in five states . Free publications poured into the mail for anyone on their mailing list : "Atlantic Union - the Next Step," "Atlantic Union Resolution Sheet Text and Congressional Supporters," and "We must Trade Sovereignty for Freedom ." The last, written by William Clayton of the Council on Foreign Relations, was a senseless thesis if there ever was one . At the same time the American Committee on United Europe operated from the same address, headed by General "Wild-Bill" Donovan, whose twelve OSS agents, posing as vice-consuls had spread revolt through North Africa during World War II . Donovan's organization also had its own publication aside from distributing "Council of Europe and Schuman Plan," "Concise Handbook of the Council of Europe," "United Europe : Statement of Progress," and the official bulletin of the European Movement Monthly, which McCloy's

handout of the taxpayers' money had financed . There was no charge for Donovan's propaganda booklets nor dues for his organization, which was supported by grants, their source undisclosed . On August 12, 1979, the London OBSERVER, owned by Robert Anderson's Atlantic Richfield Oil Co ., reported that Mr . Tom Braden, the head of CIA's international operations, "was working with British intelligence to foster the European unity movement as well ." By 1949 the one-worlders "Wild-Bill" Donovan and the Atlantic Union Committee were manipulating, with the support of CIA big-wigs and muddled congressmen, had enough weight to introduce an "Atlantic Union Committee Resolution" in Congress calling for steps towards a limited world government . Among those who signed was Mike Mansfield, our current ambassador to Japan, the third leg of the Trilateral Commission and marked for gradual absorption into full membership in the European Federation . Year by year the Eurocrats and the Atlanticists became bolder as the American press and mysteriously-funded fronts prepared public opinion for entry into a world state with its capitol in Europe . By the time Kennedy was elected President and Henry Cabot Lodge had left his post as Ambassador to U . N . all the factors were favorable for formation of the organization which would "educate" Americans and Europeans alike on the advantages of American membership in a union powerful enough to ignore America's vote . THE ATLANTIC INSTITUTE IS FORMED . Lord Gladwyn (formerly Sir Gladwyn Jebb) wrote in his diary that in mid-January 1961 he had to go to Paris to attend a meeting of the newlyformed Atlantic Institute, "a brainchild of what was then called the NATO Parliament ." From that first meeting, Lord Gladwyn was to become Cabot Lodge's closest associate in the organization which had its first headquarters at 24, Quai de 4 Septembee, in the Paris suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt . Sitting apart, by themselves, over long luncheons in Cercle-Inter-AZZie, Paris' exclusive and expense club, the air of conspiracy was accentuated as Cabot Lodge huddled with the man who had negotiated for Britain, while Andrei Gromyko represented Russia and Alger Hiss negotiated for America at the Yalta Conference . The imposing building which Atlantic Institute occupied with its long list of members, committees and councilors appeared to house a motionless machine awaiting the push of a button . Paris newspapers reported on November 28, 1961, that Henry Cabot Lodge, Director-General of the Atlantic Institute had spent thirty minutes with General de Gaulle the day before, "discussing the work and plans of the newly-formed cultural organization ." Did Lodge really try to tell de Gaulle that the institute which two years later called for an international currency to prevent fluctuations of the dollar, the organization which made stripping our allies of their colonies one of its prime objectives and was formed to turn the European Community into an Atlantic one with America as a member was nothing but a cultural center for the discussion of paintings and literature? De Gaulle knew very well that the man who made the dollar fluctuate was the man who had founded the Atlantic Institute . The Paris-based Herald Tribune of November 28, 1961, had a slightly different story . It described the Atlantic Institute as a private organization for promoting the polit"Mr . In another column it stated : ical and economic unity of the Atlantic Community . Lodge said that the Atlantic Institute will hold a conference here next spring to frame the long-range aims and ideals which the free people hold for all humanity ." The colonies of our allies, likely to form suitable mosaic pieces in a future super-state "Give me a generation of were in for trouble . There was also a reminder of Lenin's : your youth and I will give you a communist world ." The Herald-Tribune went on to state that "projects for 1962 approved by the Institute's policy committee include studies of education assistance to under-developed countries ." A smiling Cabot Lodge had already appeared in the New York Journal American of February 8, 1961, when he became a member of the board of trustees of the Institute of International Education and discussed the

September, 1979

educational needs of Asia, Africa and Latin-America with board chairman Mrs . Maurice T . Moore . "Whether it is called education or agitation for one-world government makes little difference ." Mr . Mark Jones wrote in his article of September 15, 1966, "because the underlying principal is collectivism . Collectivism is the key to communism . It also is the essential principal of one-world government . On the basis of collectivism, each would rely on coersion to enable an unelected select few at the center to enslave and push around millions ." A FRENCH EDITOR BECOMES SUSPICIOUS . Monsieur Roger Mennevee, the elderly publisher of a long-established and respected monthly, Les Documents Politiaues, DipZomatiques et Financiers, decided to investigate the Atlantic Institute and went to the Prefecture of Police where organizations are registered . There he found that no request for permission to establish such an institute had been made until early 1962 and that authorization had not been granted until March 8, 1963, by which time Henry Cabot Lodge was about to take off on his mission to South Vietnam as the Republican ambassador of a Democrat President . Lodge was succeeded by Walter Newbold Walmsley who as ambassador to Tunisia had helped install Habib Bourguiba, formerly Italian spy No . 13130, into the position where he was able to assassinate his former friend and only rival and make himself President of Tunisia for life . Paris, Monsieur Mennevee found, was not the only center for Atlantic Institute activity . In Washington it had a headquarters at 1616 H Street, N . W., which it shared with the Atlantic Council which Christian Herter had founded in 1961 with the aid of Dr . Henry Kissinger, Mr . Henry Fowler and an East German spy named James Sattler . The Italian office of Atlantic Institute was at Via Clerici 5, in Milan . Accroding to records at the Paris prefecture, the Atlantic Institute was founded, not by an American but by Monsieur Jacques Rueff, the former French Inspector-General of Finance, who was prominent in Bilderberg and Common Market activities . It was Rueff who advised de Gaulle in the 60s to send his accumulated dollars back to the United States for settlement in gold, a policy which reduced America's gold reserves to a point where redemption in gold was halted . This made the dollar tumble on all the bourses of the world and as the dollar became unwanted the scramble for gold became inevitable . Of the six primary administrators of the Atlantic Institute, five were French oneworlders and Mr . Lodge was the only American, undoubtedly chosen as a front . The Atlantic Institute Symposium in Paris on May 24 and 25, 1962, was attended by Milton Katz, our old OSS station chief in Caserta, Italy, who later funded European leftists and one-worlders from his sinecure as a Marshall Plan ambassador before arranging Kissinger's first meeting with Hanoi representatives through a World Peace Foundation conference in Paris . Later it was Katz who gave Averell Harriman his clearance for Jimmy Carter's acceptance by the Trilateral Commission and grooming for the presidency . Through member after member the gears of almost countless organizations working against patriotism and for a world socialist state had been installed and were ready to turn . Britain's delegation to the Paris symposium included Richard Goold-Adams, President of the British Atlantic Committee and head of the Council of the Institute of Strategic Studies . Among the Germans was Arnold Bergstraesser, Herr President of the AtlantikBrucke, who had indoctrinated students at universities in California and Chicago . The list of the officers and members of the Atlantic Institute published in 1963 in its 83-page "Message from Free People's to the whole of Humanity" (POUR UN MESSAGE DES PEOPLES LIBRES A L'ENSEMBLE DE L'HUMANITE) should give pause to any loyal American contemplating the Institute's merger with a Commission whose members hold so many levers of command in our government today . No suspicions were aroused in America, even when James Reston wrote in the New York Times of March 28, 1966 : "The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has been holding hearings this week on a resolution which would make an Atlantic Federation the aim of American policy in Europe ." That America would be inChristian cluded in that federation should have been clear to any thinking person .

Herter told Americans as far back as 1962 that "We should give some of our national sovereignty to an international body," because, "only by not insisting on complete national freedom can nations resist totalitarian slavery ." Mr . Mennevee was so intrigued by the articles Mr . Pierre Uri, the French socialist, was writing as chief propagandist for the Atlantic Institute, he decided to go to the source . Accordingly, on May 6, 1966, he wrote a polite letter to the secretary-general of the Atlantic Institute asking for a list of members and the names of those on the administration at that date, along with any other communications they were willing to give the press . Three days later he received a curt reply stating that before answering the questions he had posed, the Institute would like to know why they were asked . Mr . Mennevee replied that his motive was simple : He wished to know what the Atlantic Institute was, what its aims were and who was behind it, since the prefecture of police had no record other than a notice of its founding . He was particularly interested in learning the source of its funds, given the number of important Frenchmen in it and their political coloration . Mr . Mennevee's request was never answered nor did any French or American publication take up the matter when Mr . Mennevee devoted the May 1967 issue of Les Documents PoZitiques, Diplomatiques et Financiers to the Atlantic Institute and its directors . A short time later the Atlantic Institute held a conference in Geneva chaired by Paul-Henri Spaak to discuss bringing America deeper into Common Market affairs in the name of cooperation . On July 1, 1966, Mr . Roscoe Drummond reported in the Herald Tribune that 96 congressmen and 17 senators were supporting a resolution for Atlantic union being pushed by Senator Eugene McCarthy and Congressman Paul Findley . A month later, from July 7 to 10, a more secret meeting of the Institute was held in the Abbey of Royaumont, in France . All the public was told was that "convergences and divergences of the Atlantic Community" were In 1967 Institute activity was stepped up . Mr . Wilfred Baumgartner, a discussed . Bilderberg member, former member of the Council of the International Monetary Fund and Governor of the Bank of France, addressed an Atlantic Institute meeting in Cannes from January 19 to 22 . A short time later Resolution H .J . 606 passed the House Committee on The International Relations and was scheduled for a full House vote on March 11 . would clear the way for discussions with the European one-worlders Resolution, if passed, on a possible surrender of U . S . national sovereignty to a federal union the capitol of which would be in Europe . A Washington Post dispatch of November 10, 1967, announced that Nelson Rockefeller would chair a meeting of the Atlantic Institute in May 1968 at which the Institute's subsidiary group, the Committee for Atlantic Economic Cooperation, would move to bridge the gap between the existing European community and an Atlantic one which would include America . Harper and Row had long since brought out an English language edition of Pierre Uri's only the American version was described as "A Program 1963 Dialogue des Continents, Transatlantic Action ." All was going as planned . In March 1972 Dr . Curt Gasteyger, for Institute, called for better cooperation between Western Director of the Atlantic Deputy nations and Russia and also the Eastern European states . He went on to propose the inclusion of Japan in Western discussions, in the Institute's study paper, "America at the crossroads ." The merger with the Trilateral Commission was in the works . The dollar had been brought to a point of paper value where its holders will consider anything to preserve their savings . The Arabs are offering fifteen barrels of crude oil for an ounce of gold, or two tons of gas for 31 grams of the metal the founder of Atlantic Institute got de Gaulle to take from Fort Knox, while men like Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volker were telling us gold was worthless .

A fate worse than Carter

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE ABROAD FOR KENNEDY FOR PRESIDENT went the announcement in uppercase letters which Alfred E . Davidson, the bespectacled Paris representative of the International Finance Corporation (a subsidiary of the World Bank), put out on Tuesday, September 18 . Thus the 1980 presidential campaign was launched in Europe by the man who three years ago had no words glowing enough for Jimmy Carter . For the information of Americans at home, American linen abroad that Europeans have prestige, leadership, the dollar and even Alliance will bother the people out for a this is going to be the worst washing of dirty ever seen, and what it will do to American Eastern Europe's attitude towards the Western Teddy Kennedy victory not at all .

SHORTLY BEFORE THE 1960 ELECTIONS , information officers placed in our Paris embassy by a Republican Administration produced a poll showing that American prestige had slumped . But a Kennedy victory, we were told, would make us respected again . Certainly, our prestige was at rock bottom, mainly because men like the Kennedy brothers had courted black and leftist votes by supporting terrorists in Algeria and revolts in the colonies of our allies . There were no reverberations abroad when the votes that would have made Nixon President disappeared in the waters of Lake Michigan and JFK took his fraudulently-acquired seat in the Oval Room . There is a generalization in Europe that Republicans are conservative and Democrats are "liberals" - an elastic term stretching from left-of-center to outand-out red . Our elections are therefor regarded as struggles between two ideologies . Neither the conservatism of certain southern Democrats nor the parading of Senator Jacob Javits and his influence-peddling wife under a Republican label has ever dispelled this myth . Rather, the fact that retired Americans and some bankers and business men are hang-overs of the patriot era has strenghtened the conservative image of Republicans abroad . They lack the brash militancy and cohesion of the bustling new crop of multi-national entrepreneurs, cabaret jazz artists, perpetual students, artists, writers and scrapings of the social barrel out to create a new world order by electing leftists hawked as Democrats . These are the sort of people Mr . Davidson will mobilize and they outnumber the Republicans who will stand up to be counted by about five to one . Yet, year after year American Republicans abroad are lured into bi-partisan organizations fighting for removal of all obstacles to write-in votes, even though it means defeat at the polls for themselves . In some cases this is combined with a conspiracy to form a bloc of expatriates considered ripe for a one-worldism drive .

Out of offices in Zurich in the mid-60s came a flood of appeals from LARA - the League of Americans Residing Abroad . Chairman of the organization was James J . Wadsworth of the United World Federalists, a founder of the leftist "Peace Research Institute," member of the National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy (which means nuclear arms for Russia but not for us) and other disarmament movements . On LARA's board of advisers were Robert D . Murphy, Henry Cabot Lodge, George V . Allen, and Abbott M. Washburn, of the leftist International Federal Union . Washburn was formerly deputy director of the Citizens' Committee for Peace with Freedom in Vietnam, a lulling front with a name which was patently contradictory and which millions of duped southeast Asians will pay for with their lives while its American founders go about other business . Luring Republicans into working for a self-perpetuating Democrat majority is part of the Alfred E . Davidson job in Europe, so it is fitting, now that he has launched the Teddy Kennedy campaign abroad, over fourteen months before the elections, that Americans be given a brief sketch of the way previous campaigns have been handled and what sort of men are behind them . THE ONLY PRINTED REPORT ON ALFRED EDWARD DAVIDSON THAT WE KNOW OF was published in Mr . Frank Capell's HERALD OF FREEDOM, of February 28, 1964, with no threat of court action from Mr . Davidson . Mr . Capell (of P . 0 . Box 3000, Manville, New Jersey 08873, $1 for extra copies mailed abroad) wrote in a special issue on Harlan Cleveland : "Cleveland recommended for State Department employment Alfred Edward Davidson who is the son of Maurice Phillip Davidson who has a history of affiliations with communist fronts over the years . Alfred worked with Cleveland in the Foreign Economic Administration which seems to have had more than its share of infiltration . There is a security file on Alfred Davidson with our goverment investigating agencies which would suggest it is poor judgment to recommend him for government employment ." Capell files show that Davidson married Claire Dreyfuss in 1934 and entered government through Harlan Cleveland during the Roosevelt administration . It was Cleveland who as Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations, told Americans in 1962 that everywhere communism was in retreat . After a period in Lend-Lease, Davidson moved into the graft-ridden United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Agency (UNRRA), then to the U .N .'s Childrens' Emergency Fund and finally into an office as adviser to the Secretary-General of U .N . As a European-based elector of Presidents Mr . Davidson was able to have a greater impact on American affairs than had he cleared the hurdles at home . Meanwhile, Cleveland wrote "The Promise of World Tensions," in which he expounded the thesis that world government may be attained through world tensions . An interesting coincidence when one considers the world problems created by candidates whom the Davidson machine sold to Americans abroad : The collapse of the dollar, the oil crisis, anarchy in Iran, confrontation with the Russians in Cuba, surrender of the Panama Canal, creation of vacuums in Latin America for Castro to fill, and the widening cracks in NATO, all at a moment when the Trilateral Commission, which manufactured our straw-man President, is moving America towards regional fragmentation and sacrifice of sovereignty to a socialist world government based in Europe . The most striking evidence of the power the extreme left of the Democratic Party was able to build up in Europe through its stranglehold on Marshall Plan aid and the somnolence of Republicans came in 1964 . Fear gripped the American left that Goldwater might be elected, and the way the Davidson machine swung into high gear in Paris is a lesson in political regimentation that merits "Victory over Goldwater by a study . No level or sector of society was overlooked . narrow margin is not enough,"Mr . Davidson wrote in a two-page scare-letter to his

October, 1979

"Dear Fellow Americans ." "His (Goldwater's) continuing control over the Republican Party would mean the poisoning of the political atmosphere in the United States for years to come . It would give credence to the oft-repeated and false charge that the United States is unreliable in foreign affairs ." Thus Alfred Davidson and his ilk poisoned the political atmosphere in the United States and among Americans in Europe in order to install an administration which turned campuses into conditioning camps for deserters, incited students against the National Guard and blacks against whites . A new voting bloc - the coward bloc - was created and our South Vietnamese friends were sold out in return for what Kissinger called "a decent interval ." All of two days . THE 1964 CAMPAIGN IN EUR OPE was not a Democratic Party campaign . It was an exercise in calumny under a party label without regard for the ideals of America's southern Democrats . Do not think of the men who ran it as Democrats but as leftists, working as leftists for the establishment of their own world order and providing a lesson in thoroughness . Working out of an imposing office at 16, Place Vendome, AMERICANS ABROAD FOR JOHNSON probed every segment of the expatriate colony for votes and donations . With Messrs . Davidson and Moore listed as chairmen, Robert Simpson as treasurer and Jean Sneidman as secretary, thirty-eight other Americans were on the campaign letterhead . Topping the list was James Baldwin, the author of vitriolic writings against Christianity, America, American customs and the whites . Mary McCarthy was there, the "Passionaria" of Hanoi reds who have stripped some two million victims of gold and gems for the privilege of dying at sea in rotting boats rather than in gulags . In her book, "The Seventeenth Degree," Mary boasted : "When I went to Vietnam I was looking for material damaging to American interests ." In the process, she gave our lying enemy millions of dollars worth of propaganda, then had the stupidity to express gratitude that she never had to change a dollar while in Hanoi as a guest of her "comrades of the Peace Committee ." Taken separately, the thirty-eight members of ARTISTS AND WRITERS IN FRANCE FOR JOHNSON, which formed the subsidiary for AMERICANS ABROAD FOR JOHNSON, should have been a liability for any respectable candidate . On good paper in 8-point type they provided ammunition for a slanted press, a few votes, some donations and the impression that all Americans abroad were for Johnson . There was no comparable huckster campaign for Goldwater . OTHER THINGS STAND OUT IN ANY STUDY OF THE 1964 CAMPAIGN ABROAD . The British press threw itself into the fray with no pretense of honest reporting . What it was was guttersnipe campaigning in condescending English . The TIMES of London hailed the rich, east coast cities as moderate forces . Its U . S . correspondent, Henry Brandon, sneered : "Control of the G .O .P . is being seized by a new breed of men from the new West where no real social structure exists . . . . These new settlers have no roots, they are bound by no traditions of experience or a feel of history ." Ignoring the Harlem muggers, Puerto Rican welfare careerists and foreign-speaking immigrants indigenous to the East Coast cities, Brandon shared the superior attitude of the London OBSERVER's Patrick O'Donovan, who wrote : "Goldwater's supporters are the half-educated and bewildered, in the hands of little Goldwater men with suitcases of unwashed linen ." O'Donovan saw Scranton as a man who "carried himself with a faint deprecatorily patrician air . He trailed an impression of unearned money and polished manners ." James Reston's NEW YORK TIMES column, reprinted in London and Paris, told Europeans that Goldwater's nomination was "a cunning take-over by well-financed and wellorganized conspiratorial forces winning over the 'nobZesse obZige' liberals ." Any conservative who uses the word conspiratorial Reston brands as a kook . That powerful labor unions extracted forced contributions from their membersfor Johnson

was never mentioned as Alfred Davidson and his team worked Paris and their colleagues tapped London and other capitals for all they could get . Over all hung the constantlyrepeated lie technique, the claim that Goldwater would plunge the world into a war . Frank Giles wrote contemptuously in the London SUNDAY TIMES : "What he (Goldwater) and his supporters appear to have learned of the facts of thermonuclear life can be compared with, say, a Bedouin Arab's knowledge of the late quartets of Beethoven ." This of a candidate with the rank of an Airforce general! The truth is, the term "nobZesse obZige liberals" was never less applicable than. to the sort of men who were scraping the social barrel to form a popular front for Johnson, while back in Texas Evetts Haley was being harassed by the Bureau of Internal Revenue for writing the truth about their man . ON OCTOBER 9, 1964, MRS . RANDALL GILSON, OF THE U . S . CITIZEN'S COMMITTEE , in Britain, announced that round-trip tickets were available for $173 .60 for Americans who wanted to fly home to vote for Johnson . A week later, on October 16, Davidson herded American artists and writers into a Montparnasse studio to donate works to a fund-raising drive . Bernard Childs, who talked a conservative line to anyone likely to sit for a portrait, declared : "This is serious . As people who have been accused of being members of the lunatic fringe, we know one when we see one ." James Jones, on one of his sober spells, said he had come because : "Well, I got scared ." Four years later Jones' wife was leading demonstrations against Johnson because he wanted to prevent what has happened in Vietnam . The reason John Levee, the painter, was there was : "I'm terrified of the neanderthals ." Within four years the lot of them felt about Johnson the way Mr . Davidson now feels about Carter . THERE WAS NO SUCH MILITANCY AMONG THE REPUBLICANS . Mr . Evan Galbraith and his Goldwater committee remained dignified, groping and dull, baffled and intimidated by the lies and On October 24 it was the turn hysteria whipped up by the media and Davidson's fronts . of America's black jazz artists to put on a show in the Blue Note Cabaret to swell Davidson's warchest . Mae Mercer prefaced her songs with the warning : "Johnson has to win, because if Goldwater gets in we'll have to go further than Europe ." Where? Moscow? It was Associated Press that launched the big lie branding Goldwater a warmonger out to use the A-bomb in Vietnam, but the European groups for Johnson used it . What Goldwater said was that tactical nuclear weapons defoliating trees covering Viet Cong supply routes in the South were an alternative but they would not be used . Joe Alsop twisted it in his column of July 6 and a New Yorker claiming to represent the "Authentic News Service," whatever that was, reported : "Goldwater is out to start an atomic war ." The slanting was as much to defeat America in Vietnam as a reserve airforce general for the presidency . EVEN THE AMERICAN CHURCH IN PARIS WAS USED AS A POLITICAL CARD and members of its congregation must have been regarded as suckers to be maneuvered by a preacher . When readers complained to the Reverend Martin Sargent that he was using the cloth to support far-out letters to the Herald Tribune, the pastor of the American Church would send a reply of which the following, written on October 21, 1964, is an example : I have also reread all of "I have read your letter concerning the coming elections . I think, Sir, that the argument available (which is a lot) . Goldwater literature the of morality is basic to this situation and the evidence is all in favor of Mr . Johnson . Now why do I say this? "I believe that the current election is the most crucial election in our history since the mid civil war election of Lincoln . A Goldwater victory would be the first clear step toward the breaking up of the community of nations and lead our country to a position similar to that of the Union of South Africa today, in complete isolation from

October, 1979

the other nations of the world . If you wish to take your place with people who spit in the face of a father taking his six-year-old child to a public school, with people who .use electric cattle prods on other human beings, with people who turn dogs loose on human beings, then go ahead and vote for Mr . Goldwater . I as a Christian can only vote against Mr . Goldwater and all he represents, and for Mr . Johnson in the hope that our beloved nation will remain faithful to her great promise ." (Signed) Martin Sargent . Read today, it is incredible that a pastor, whether his personal life was savory or not, should have the smug arrogance to claim that he had reread all the Goldwater literature available and, slanted as the majority of it was, was pronouncing judgment in favor of the man who bought his election to the Senate, let his wife enrich herself in the White House and used Abe Fortas to keep adverse stories out of the Washington Post . What did spitting in the face of a father taking a youngster to school, or using electric cattle prods on human beings, or turning dogs loose on them have to do with Senator Goldwater? What kind of a preacher would stoop to writing this sort of pious nonsense? And where were the Republicans who were serving on American Church committees and financing its existence? From them there was not a word . (A photocopy of the letter from the pastor of the American Church in Paris may be obtained for $1 to cover expenses and mailing) BY 1968 JOHNSON WAS A VILLAIN , accused of trying to achieve the victory which would have prevented what we are seeing in southeast Asia today . The new Davidson tack was to get Hubert Humphrey off the hook for not having taken a stronger stand on Vietnam . Beyond that there was an economic problem, and in a letter published in the Herald Tribune of January 14, 1968, representative of the International Finance Corporation Davidson parroted the East Coast bankers who told Americans that gold was only a barbaric relic . "The real value of any currency stems not from its gold reserve backing (which invariably covers only a small proportion) but depends on what it will buy," he wrote . "If the United States had no gold whatever, the dollar would still be valuable ." The truth is, today the dollar is at an all-time low because no one wants printing press money which can no longer be converted into gold, and gold will never be worthless as long as ninetenths of the world has confidence in nothing else . PARALLEL WITH THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS which free-wheeling lef tists ran abroad under a Democrat label there were other movements to organize Americans, with removal of obstacles to the expatriate vote used as a come-on . What conservatives and Republicans never seemed to perceive was that helping a "Bi-partisan Committee on Absentee Voting" put over the legislation they were asking Senator Howard W . Cannon to push would only stack the deck against themselves . Any thinking American patriot should have been willing to sacrifice his vote from abroad in order to neutralize the four or five leftists whose votes would far outnumber his . Yet, even the chairman of the Republican Committee in Paris fell for this ploy . "We Disinherited" was the heading given Alfred Davidson's article in the Herald Tribune of August 26, 1965 . On June 6, 1969, Pierre Salinger, the socialist, joined Davidson in a Herald Tribune paid advertisement urging Americans to carry their fight to the Supreme Court, and the Republican Committee chairman and Deputy Chairman made it look respectable with their signatures . Politically it was treason . On September 14, 1972 Davidson used the letters column of the Herald Tribune to urge Americans abroad to contact the "Bi-partisan Committee on Absentee Voting ." The Federation of American Women's Clubs overseas had been brought into the game and a test case was to be made in court as part of the drive to whip up emotions for George McGovern's campaign . THE CANDIDATE SHOULD HAVE GIVEN PAUSE EVEN TO ALFRED DAVIDSON . In 1968 McGovern called Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky a Vietnamese Benedict Arnold, because he had fought for _he French instead of Ho chi Minh . McGovern told John Connally : "I don't believe the Russians would try to test me, because I think they would regard me as a friend and do everything possible to keep my friendship ." The London TIMES, of April 18, 1972, quoted McGovern as stating in Springfield, Massachusetts, at a press conference that even if Hanoi refused his peace deal "he would still withdraw, leaving the prisoners behind ." (ExP .O .Ws ., please note) . In June 1970 he told listeners in Hanover, New Hampshire, that

October, 1979

Page - 6-

"If there is any one dominant threat to our foreign policy it is the negative ideology of anti-communism ." This was Alfred Davidson's man . On May 4, 1975, when everything McGovern had worked for occurred, he declared : "I have never thought that more than a handful of government leaders were in any real danger of reprisals ." He told the students of Eastern Illinois University whom he had incited into joining the antivictory movement : "90% of the Vietnamese refugees would be better off going back to their land ." BY 1976 THE MAN NOW PREPARING TO PUSH TEDDY WAS ALL FOR CARTER . "Carter seems to sense, and the public to respond to, the idea that the old patterns no longer fit these swiftly changing, complex and unprecedented times," Davidson wrote in the Herald Tribune of March 18, 1976 . He called it a hopeful augury that Carter was not espousing oversimplified catchword solutions . There was nothing hopeful about the fact that Carter had no solutions, that behind the pudgy face was a public-relations-created figure for which the Trilateral Commission and Alfred Davidson's programmers were playing Watergate to the hilt . The line that Jimmy Carter should be elected because he had never had anything to do with the Washington establishment was never valid . Now Mr . Davidson explains his switch of allegiance in the Herald-Trib of September 20 with the excuse that President Carter "has disappointed his supporters in carrying out his White House job ." Why should they expect him to carry it out when they elected him because he had no idea what it was? ANNOUNCING THE FORMATION OF THE KENNEDY COMMITTEE ABROAD , in the Herald Tribune of September 29 and inviting all supporters to attend a meeting at 41, Avenue Friedland, Paris VIII, on October 9, Mr . Davidson declared : "He (Carter) simply cannot command the confidence of the congress and of the people because he lacks the necessary qualities of leadership ." Is he telling us that Teddy's publicized night in a New York hotel with the Canadian Premier's hippy wife is proof of his candidate's efficiency in handling foreign affairs? Or that waiting all night before notifying the police that he has left a girl in a submerged automobile, and that suffering only the temporary inconvenience of losing his driving license, will make him the man to face Brezhnev over Russian bases in Cuba? Most Europeans feel that ignorance on Carter's part and intent on Zbigniew Brzezinski's stepped up the campaign on human rights in volatile Iran in 1977, thereby overnight making the Shah the target of every group and nation bent on his and Iran's destruction . Now it is interesting to read the description of the man whom the international planners hope to give us as successor to the ground-preparer of what Harlan Cleveland calls "The Promise of World Tensions ." Peregrine Worsthorne reflected in the September 16 issue of the London Sunday Telegraph : "What should one make of a nation that shows disturbing signs of looking to a man like Edward Kennedy for leadership? The question is important . It could mean that the American people have gone soft in the head or plain decadent . . . If the American people turn to Teddy, this will suggest that there is a hankering not for this or that great man - as a man he is contemptible - but for some abstract idea of political virility that has nothing to do with personal virtue . . . . This might represent a far more insidious threat to democracy, or to freedom, than ever came from Richard Nixon . . . . Edward Kennedy seems to be popular in spite of his arrogant amorality ; perhaps because of it . Therein lie the seeds of a truly dangerous dictator, whose fascination for the public is based the musky smell of a beast of prey ." on nothing more than a kind of animal energy : So much for the prospects of American prestige abroad .

FEAR GRIPS THE FREE WORLD AS OUR 1 refugees have become a world probl directed fronts that are responsib confrontation with communism anywh faceless men harping on "civilian battlefield, which force patriotic and hail the result as peace? _ELECTIONS APPROA CH : Vietnamese and Cambodia and foreign leaders ask : Will the expertlyfor this permit American soldiers to win in a ? Will good Americans remain apathetic while trol. of the military" make decisions, even on the nerals to accept defeat when victory is possible,

These are the thoughts which make rica's allies hesitate to accept nuclear arms on their soil when a SALT II Treaty acceptable to our President protects Americans and Russians from the missiles of each other . Let us consider an example of how a small group of men can prevent a nation from winning a war, and then be proud when more millions die through the victor's cruelty than if America had saved her sons and the stabil ity of southeast Asia by going all out for victory . AT 10 :30 A .M . ON THE MORNING OF FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1973, General Victor 11, . Krulak (U .S . Marine Corps, Retired) sat in the top floor office of Monsieur Jacques Soustelle, at 209 Boulevard Saint-Germain, in Paris . Monsieur Soustelle was a member of the National Assembly at the time, but he had been de Gaulle's wartime chief of intelligence and, until his break with de Gaulle, Assistant Prime Minister of France . General Krulak had commanded 76,000 Marines in Vietnam but at the time was President of Copley News Service . The two men discussed the defeatist - even treasonable - attitude of the American press and American professors when subverted students evaded the draft while our leaders of the future were dying . Not only our leaders of the future but the potential leaders of the free world . "It was on my 1971 trip to America, I believe," Mr . Soustelle told the general . "The top men of the New York Times invited me to have luncheon with them and discuss the world situation . Their questions were sensible and their conversation rational, until I brought up the subject of Vietnam . At that point they went amok . (The conversation was in English and I am quoting Monsieur Soustelle's precise words) They waved their arms and shouted like madmen . They said, 'We are going to pull America out of Vietnam and let them (the reds) have it .' I asked, 'Where do you get your mandate to decide We've got the America's foreign policy?" They replied, 'We don't need a mandate . power and we are going to do it ."' General Krulak can confirm this statement which was made in your correspondent's presence . When an uninformed citizen makes such a boast it can be passed off as irresponsible arrogance . Coming from newsmen with facilities for learning the truth and experience in anticipating consequences it can only be taken as a declaration of conspiratorial

intent . The paper these men control owns ten newspapers in Florida and who knows how many elsewhere . It is said to have press interests in Bangkok and London . It owns television and radio stations and at the time of General Krulak's visit to Paris, 175 newspapers in other American cities subscribed to the New York Times News Service, thereby giving their local readers the New York Times under a local name . Over 212 papers now receive their news from the New York Times, by recent accounts . On May 21, 1971, a United Press International story reported that the U . S . Justice Department had filed a civil anti-trust suit in Brooklyn against the New York Times and New York Times Sales, Incorporated, but the power of the mother paper continues . For instance, the Richmond Times-Dispatch, which claims to be Virginia's largest newspaper, advertised a mass circulation of 197,251 copies on November 5, 1972 . Except for advertisements and the title, all the items on the front page were from the New York Times, save two small insertions on the lower right-hand corner on Virginia State politics . The entire top of page 6 came from the New York Times, as did two articles on pages 8 and 9 . James Reston and the admitted journaliste engage, Tom Wicker (who teaches journalism at Georgetown University!), dominated the editorial page, while page one of the real estate section and a column on a following page also came from the New York Times . Our allies have every reason to suspect the motives of the diffuser of the stolen Pentagon Papers and to fear its power . EVERY NEWSPAPER IS A REFLECTION OF ITS OWNERSHIP, so let us consider the direction of the New York Times and the ideas this organ fixes in the minds of a public with blind faith in the printed word . Cyrus Sulzberger's family formerly published the New York Times and though Cyrus himself is a member of the self-appointed international parliament known as the Bilderberg group, he has never once mentioned his attendance at any secret Bilderberg meeting . Members of this conspiratorial group are not elected but they feel-out foreigners regarded as possible collaborators and among themselves decide the policies which they will sell to their respective nations . One-worldism, the creation of a new world order in which America and Soviet Russia will form part of a single socialist state with one law and one money, is a prime Bilderberg objective and the Council on Foreign Relations may be regarded as its political party in America . Cyrus Sulzberger's importance in the Bilderberg parliament is based on his monopoly of news-space capable of carrying a message into millions of homes . His line of January 4, 1971, repeated over and over, can arrest opposition to Russia's client nations in any part of the world . Communists fight to win, but Cyrus Sulzberger told Americans : "There has been a steady, if occasionally interrupted, growth of the idea that the only purpose of the U . S . military preparations is either deterrence of war, or, if need be, war in which there is no winner . This is to say neither victory nor defeat . This concept can be traced back as far as Woodrow Wilson, who in January, 1917, urged the belligerents of World War I to accept 'peace without victory' . . . . . Every President since Truman has accepted the Wilsonian credo of peace without victory . Eisenhower endorsed it in Korea, Kennedy endorsed it in the Cuban confrontation . . . . . Indeed, a very interesting paper produced last year by R. G . Shreffler and W . S . Bennett 'Military victory, like of the Los Angeles Scientific laboratory states categorically : concepts of unconditional surrender, has been recognized as obsolete since World War II' We must structure our policies accordingly ." Who are R . G . Shreffler and W . S . Bennett that a paper written by them should make nowinism our objective while whole blocs of the free world are chiseled away by a red

coalition bent on victory? Certainly, every President since Truman has accepted nowinism . Every administration since World War II has been dominated by the Council on Foreign Relations and its fronts . WHILE SULZBERGER SOLD UNPREPAREDNESS AND NO-WINISM , his associate, James Reston, sold defeat . The theme of Reston's article in the New York Times of July 12, 1968 - four months after the murderous Tet offensive in Vietnam - was that there would be less violence "if the American people will only put less emphasis on winning and learn that it is at least as important to be a good loser . . . . . If we could only understand the glories of defeat, there would be less fighting and therefore less violence ." Mr . Reston should tell that to the millions chosing between certain death in gulags and a slim chance of reaching unfriendly soil in a rotting boat . Mr . Paul Deheme, the veteran Paris political analyst, wrote of Reston's writings in August 1971 : "What surprises me, what frightens me, with the Americans is the lack of conscience with which, to advance personal internal objectives, they harm the interests of the country . . . . . and even seem to rejoice over prospects of the worst . . . . It is not a North Vietnamese who writes, it is an American . This is not opposition, it is national suicide . Democracy pushed to this point becomes the worst of regimes ; in any case, a regime which paralyzes all initiative against totalitarian countries ." What Mr . Deheme did not understand was that Mr . Reston's objective was not triumph over totalitarianism . Only military defeat in the field can so demoralize a nation capable of victory that it will accept province status in a one-world state rather than defend its interests in a competitive world . Jean Monnet, the French exponent of one-worldism, told James Reston, and James Reston passed Monnet's lulling and untrue assertion on to millions of readers on November 13, 1968 : "Moscow really wants an understanding and an accomodation with Washington . . . . . Soviet leaders invaded Czechoslovakia in order to protect their western flank, not to threaten Western Europe ." (What terrified western nation was likely to threaten Russia's western flank, Mr . Reston?) The New York Times gift of news-space to Mr . Monnet continued : "They (the Soviets) are not acting out of ideology but for their own security . . . . . They are raising the threat of Soviet power, not to endanger Western Europe but to force serious conversations with Europe and the United States, to protect their western frontier . . . . . The present trend of Soviet policy is not a menace to the security of the West but rather an opportunity to negotiate new security arrangements between Russia and the western allies ." In reality, Moscow has never swerved from Khrushchev's May 1959 assurance to Albania's Enver Hoxha : "We do not negotiate on the basis of the give and take principle . We have nothing whatever to give . We will not make any concessions because our proposals do not form the basis for a barter deal ." AMERICANS WERE SUBJECTED TO A TWO-FRONT PSYCHOLOGICAL OFFENSIVE as the purposely prolonged conflict in Vietnam dragged on . The inevitability of no-winism was driven home with every newspaper edition and TV broadcast . Simultaneously, the drive to protect enemy from anything that might hurt him, from the bombings to defoliation, continued . Halt all bombings and the enemy will negotiate, Americans were told . Those campaigning for surrender were called doves . Those who wanted to draw out the war and only fight hard enough to show the enemy he could not win were called hawks . Have patience . No advocate of victory was ever The real message to the enemy was : given the floor at doves-versus-hawks debates . ON APRIL 30, 1970, American and Vietnamese forces moved into Cambodia to neutralize the

sanctuaries where the enemy was girding for victory . Residents of gulags and living skeletons now known as boat people will remember with bitterness how the American left rose up in arms . On October 25, 1979, Joan Baez was honest enough to tell European newsmen : "I was wrong ." Hanoi's other defenders of 1970 are still silent . Fulbright, Mansfield, Javits and Kennedy (who drove his wife to drink and may do worse to America) rushed to Hanoi's defense . James Reston's fury knew no bounds . So violent were his editorials in defense of Hanoi, Peregrine Worsthorne wrote in the London Sunday Telegraph, of May 10, 1970, that red domination of Cambodia would make the American position untenable . "The price," Mr . Worsthorne declared, "may be paid by America herself . One reads the New York Times, for example, with dreadful fascination as it trots out all the arguments most certain to enflame the student opinion, practically encouraging them to take to the streets in violent opposition . . . . . Unfortunately, it is not the editors of these liberal organs who will be on the firing line . . . . . If the student will is allowed to prevail, a situation will develop wherein the strongest power the world has ever known is reduced to puerility . The great organs of the East Coast lend the students their support . This is inexcusable irrationality ." But Mr .Worsthorne was not a one-worlder, dedicated to bringing about American military defeat . While America's fifth column of editors, professors, students, preachers, et al worked to make the enemy safe from bombers, an army of scientists and pseudo scientists worked to save them from detection . THE NEW YORK TIMES OF 14AY 9, 1972 , and succeeding issues carried strident pleas by Professor H . Westing, of Windham College, and E . W . Pf eiffer, of the University of Montana, to cease protecting our soldiers by defoliating trees . Defoliation had cost Vo Nguyen Giap his victory against the Marines at Khe Sanh, and from that moment his supporters in America were called upon to see that American boys be sacrificed rather than a few crops of Vietnamese leaves . Then came the New York Times drive to portray communism as harmless . "Ideologically, the United States has grown wrote on April 6, 1973 : now sees that communism is not a Manichean evil, automatically to be United States had seen nothing of the sort, but this was the prelude ground-preparing for moves to come : The drive to take a demoralized United States of Europe . Cyrus Sulzberger up in Vietnam and opposed ." The to Mr . Sulzberger's America into a

If America is the leader of the free world and a handful of mediocre men around a table in the inner office of a biased paper are able to boast that they do not need a mandate from anyone ; that they have the power to decide America's foreign policy and they are going to do it, they are in all reality the free world's leaders . On September 8, 1976, with over two million Cambodians already massacred and a portless nation of boat-people shaming the West, Mr . James Reston told a United States Congressman : "The New York Times and I are proud of our stand during the Vietnam war ." THE SITUATION AS 1979 DRAWS TO A CLOSE : Day by day, as these lines are written, British military analysts are compiling and revising their estimates of the future under the leadership we are giving the world . They have concluded that with the help of tactical nuclear weapons, Russian forces, unhampered by any orchestrated drives against patriotism, are capable of sweeping across Europe at 60 miles a day on a nine mile front . Brassey's, of 10 Upper Berkeley Street, London W .l, have just published a $19 book, "Infantry Weapons of the Warsaw Pact Armies," considered the last word on Russia's military position and thinking . Thirteen members of the Politburo, sitting at the summit of the Kremlin's political power, hold the world's future in their hands, untroubled by full-page petitions signed by programmed foreigners ignorant of the problems in which they are meddling . The most powerful of the thirteen is still Leonid Brezhnev, 74 years old, Chief of State, Secretary-General of the Soviet Communist Party - and dying . None of his possible

successors is likely to be more conciliatory towards the West . Europeans feel that a weak American President surrounded by questionable men has concluded a SALT II Treaty with the ailing Brezhnev which will place America and Russia out of range of each other, leaving Europe a battlefield between the two . No nation in history, they argue, has amassed the military superiority Russia has today without using it . THE RUSSIAN PLAN IS SIMPLE . Moscow's objective is to make t he West subservient to her will without recourse to war . Should this fail, Russian generals have prepared a timetable based on reports which western nations have permitted the KGB to amass . They believe that the weak link in the West's defense is at the top . It is America . Neither in America nor among her allies will any war against communism receive complete support . The New York Times has worked as hard as any communist paper to make this the case . If Moscow launches a lightning attack across Europe it will be difficult, if not impossible, for America's hand-tied allies to obtain permission and then use their own tactical nuclear weapons in time . The same confusion which accompanied the German invasion of Poland in 1939 will follow . The withdrawal will turn into a rout . Should the NATO powers reply with the nuclear missiles President Carter has left them, Russia now has the capability to cross nuclearcontaminated areas with vehicles' hatches closed . If President Carter is over-ruled and NATO acquires the neutron bomb as its main antitank weapon on the central front, Russia will improve her radiation protection on armored vehicles, while holding replacement crews ready to take over when the level of radiation has dropped to a safe level . The neutron bomb may kill the former crew but the tank will be intact and ready to proceed . No World Peace Council, Resisters International, World Congress of Peace, International Institute of Peace, World Peace Foundation, Women's Strike for Peace, Interfaith Council for Peace, or New York Times stands ready to undermine Russian troop morale . It is understandable that West Germany's Chancellor Helmut Schmidt is negotiating with Russia and East Germany, and NATO countries are hesitant about sheltering American nuclear weapons on their soil unless the decision is unanimous . Should they agree to accept such weapons, it will take three years to produce them, after the West's rejection of the neutron weapon last year for fear of offending the Russians . Many Europeans sense that forces in the West are encouraging a Russian adventure . The question they ask is : What will be Moscow's pretext? Many believe it will come with the death of 87-year-old Josep Broz Tito . ONLY TITO'S IRON GRIP HAS UNTIL NOW HELD YUGOSLAVIA TOGETHER. No human rights moralizing by the President who encouraged mobs in Iran, Nicaragua and South Korea has ever bothered Tito . Alive, he has had a free hand, but a number of combinations exist which might bring Russian troops into Dalmatia when he passes . Bulgaria regards the Yugoslav Federal Republic of Macedonia as Bulgarian territory, taken from her by force . Bulgaria is Moscow's most servile puppet . Bulgarians have proven the best tools for Russia's dirty work in Western Europe . That Bulgaria will If Yugoslavia moves claim Macedonia the minute Tito dies is regarded as certain . a restraining hand . If not, Yugoslav camp, Moscow may exercise quietly into the Soviet Macedonia will . Bulgarian occupation of receive Moscow's blessing dismemberment will will demand . Simultaneously, the Hungarians Albanians to move into Kossovo incite the restoration of the Voivodine area of Yugoslavia .

apparatus and formerly one of the most dreaded officers of the secret police . Regardless of the territorial rearrangements, the upshot will be consolidation of Soviet power and the end of talk about Yugoslav non-alignment . AS THE YUGOSLAV CRISIS APPROACHES THE RATIO OF EAST-WEST POWER BEC OMES ALL IMPORTANT . At present the red army has three tanks facing the west for every allied one blocking their way . The ratio of cannons is three to one in Russia's favor . The Warsaw Pact bloc has over 5,364 nuclear missiles aimed at western bases and cities . If France goes along,the western forces together can count on 2,045 missiles of long and medium range . Until the Carter Administration, Western Europe accepted the imbalance of force because of faith in America's strategic superiority . Now Brzezinski has informed the world that the era of American supremacy has ended . Over a hundred Soviet Backfire bombers and SS-20 missiles stand ready to hit the 1,200 points which military planners consider vital to Europe's existence . A new SS-20 missile with three nuclear warheads is moved into place every two days . The SS-20 has a range of over 3,000 miles and is launched from a mobile ramp, which makes it invulnerable to fire from fixed missile sites . Neither it nor the Backfire bomber is included in the SALT II treaty, since both can hit any point in Western Europe but not America . Each of the three nuclear warheads carried by the SS-20 is capable of hitting three different objectives with more precision than any missile Russia has produced to date . NATO hopes to deploy 600 Pershing and Cruise missiles against Moscow's constantly-increasing arsenal of Backfire bombers and SS-20s but cannot do so before six years . The neutron bomb would have offset the Warsaw Pact's frightening superiority, but after a massive propaganda campaign directed by Russia and supported by western leftists, America backed down, which is to say, President Carter refused to stand up as an election year was approaching . To date Moscow has cynically exploited the line that if we refrain from deploying new weapons a disarmament agreement can be reached . This propaganda, mixed with intimidation, has reversed the world balance of power but brought not the slightest sign of a change in Russian policy . European intelligence reports that at least 10 to 15% of the Warsaw Pact warheads hold poison gas of a type sufficient to kill the population of Western Europe twice over . At sea, few of America's present warships could operate for more than four hours in an area contaminated by the known Soviet gases or nuclear fallout . They have not been equipped with purification systems . ACCORDING TO THE RUSSIAN TIME TABLE , barring an all-out American defense effort, the middle of the next presidential term will see Moscow in position to knockout over 90% of America's land-based missiles and a large part of her bombers and submarines in a massive surprise attack . The demonstrations of the 60s convinced the Kremlin that the American military will not be permitted to invite total destruction from a second Russian onslaught . Again civilian stranglehold on the military, even to tactical decisions - a precaution which the left took to assure its arms-binding action in Vietnam - will prevent retaliation and enable civilians elected for that purpose to sue for peace . And this with the approval of a softened and terrified population . In actual practice, the Russian evaluation of American reaction may not be as Moscow anticipates, but it will not be a Carter or a Kennedy or a Jerry Brown, or the men who boasted to Monsieur Jacques Soustelle of their power to make America opt for defeat, who will prove them wrong . VALEURS ACTUELLES, the reliable French economic and political weekly, quotes Cyrus Sulzberger as saying : "The SS-20 has Europe by the throat . Europe is Russia's hostage ." Watching a blind-folded American embassy official being paraded before ignorant, fist-shaking Iranian fanatics described (heaven only knowswhy!) as students, the "President Carter must be biting noted French writer, Monsieur Roger Bouzinac, observed : of the Shah . It is true that his fingernails today for having facilitated the ousting made because of credulity, this is not the only mistake this unfortunate President has conjectures and forecasts as 1979 draws incapacity or weakness ."
