I have posted at another subforum here never realizing that a "Russia Discussion Board" existed. Most all my posts were related to Russia.
As I had explained at the other sub-forum, I believe Russia (and China) pose a lethal threat to America and the rest of the West.
The website I had been working on for a couple of months is now completed: link It is totally commerical free and no money is made there - it is solely for the purpose of raising awareness of the aforementioned threat.
Below is my introduction to the site:
"The Final Phase" Thesis
An Introduction
Russia and China are not our friends.
They are not our true partners in the war on terror or in the world of free-trade. They engage the West as partners for now while it is to their advantage, but only as a means to an end.
Conventional wisdom concludes that Russia and China "need" the West for their long-term national interests and prosperity. They do not; there are other avenues.
Today, we establish joint intelligence operations with Russia's FSB (former KGB) in the war on terror and consider them to be full - "need to know" - partners and share our intelligence with them. This is a dangerous partnership.
We invite China as a go-between partner in negotiating with North Korea to cajole them to abandon their nuclear program. We entrust China to act in good faith on our behalf when in fact they are more apt to manipulate the tension using North Korea as a potential diversion ploy in sync with their future military designs against Taiwan. Contrary to Beijing?s pronouncements, they are not concerned about Korea?s saber rattling; they welcome it and use it.
Russia and China?s continuing modernization of weapon systems - especially strategic - and buildup of military might is rationalized and explained away by sophisticated, hopeful analyses in the West. However, such analyses fall short of adequately assessing their true threat and intentions. It appears no one dares say or even suggest what could be behind their growing military posture and mutual relationship.
Besides, it is now a universally accepted notion that terrorism poses the largest and most imminent threat to the West. Whatever threat Russia and China may pose in the future it has taken a back seat to the more immediate concern of terrorism. (Ironically, there is a distinct possibility that today's terrorism may be interrelated to - part and parcel of - coordinated efforts and influence of Russia and China in the form of asymmetrical and proxy warfare against the West. For example, see Drugs, Russia & Terrorism and China's Military Planners Took Credit for 9/11.)
Although masked to varying degrees, Russia and China are hostile toward the West and are jointly aligned with an objective to permanently end the West's "hegemony."
The United States and Great Britain have abandoned their Cold War posture and are restructuring their intelligence organizations and concepts compelled by the new threat posed by terrorism. Defense is likewise restructuring and abandoning many of its heavy war-fighting concepts and components.
It appears to be beyond the comprehension of Western intelligence that Russia and China may be acting in collusion and coordination against the West. Our preconceived notions about their supposed "primordial distrust" of one another tends to render this concern moot. We view Russia and China as two, distinctly separate nations pursuing their own national interests.
But, what if Western intelligence is wrong?
Less then two months before the 9/11 attacks, Russia and China signed a treaty in Moscow, on 16 July 2001, which may contain what some intelligence analysts suspect are secret military codicils beyond its overt provisions. However, even its overt language clearly indicates Russia will join China militarily should an "aggressor" interfere with its "internal affairs" over the issue of Taiwan.
What are the ramifications of a militarily unified Russia and China to the world's balance of power? Has this been seriously considered by Western intelligence?
At this late stage of "the final phase" plans of Russia and China, it may be too late for the West to awaken in time to thwart the emerging threat of their covert strategic alliance - time is running out.
"The Final Phase"
The threat posed by Russia and China - which trumps the threat of terrorism - does not originate in their alliance of 16 July 2001. The threat goes back much further than that.
In 1961, a KGB major defected from Russia and unsuccessfully tried to warn Western intelligence of a long-range strategic deception planned against the West. The defector was Anatoliy Golitsyn.
He said that Russia and China would feign a split between themselves in order to work a "scissors strategy" against the West. Confident that the West would try to take advantage of an apparent split between them, they pursued myriad ploys - including border clashes - to effect and solidify the desired misperceptions of the Western intelligence.
Despite Golitsyn's warnings to the CIA, the Nixon Administration pursued its China Policy, which comported to the expectations of Russia and China's long-range plans.
In 1980, Golitsyn warned that the dialectical nature and method of the long-range deception would unfold further with the ascension of a younger reformer in Russia who would break the mold of his predecessors and who would usher in unprecedented change, albeit spurious in truth. He described perfectly the person of Mikhail Gorbachev who would not become Russia's leader for another five years.
Golitsyn posited that the on-going deception would likely manifest itself in supposed revolutionary "changes," which would include among other things: the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact; fall of the Berlin Wall; reunification of Germany; democratization throughout the Soviet bloc nations; and, even the dissolution of the Soviet Union itself. The Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, eleven years following Golitsyn's warnings.
As explained by Golitsyn, the ascension of this younger Russian leader would mark the beginning stage of the deceptive plan's most dangerous phase, "the final phase."
From Gorbachev to Putin, the long-range plan was never abandoned (nor ever acknowledged as having once existed) and is still operational today. And, it includes the coordination and cooperation of the plan's main co-partner, China.
This introduction is intended to be brief; therefore, it will not delve into an in-depth presentation of the issues surrounding "the final phase." It is meant solely as a starting point giving a general outline. The overall material presented here is meant within the context of "the final phase" plans of Russia and China. You attention is invited to view the material herein while keeping its context in mind.
Please feel free to explore this site and pose any questions that may come to mind.
Thank you and welcome to The Final Phase.

James Angleton, was the CIA's chief of Counterintelligence. He was Golitsyn's main supporter who thoroughly understood the significance of the first-hand information Golitsyn had and, especially, the methodology he used to correctly analyze the long-range deception plans.
Knowing about Angleton and the events surrounding him and Golitsyn, are key to understanding the larger problem of how Western intelligence missed the importance of the warnings. The reasons behind the misunderstandings are multifaceted and complex. However, the material below by Mark Riebling and Edward Jay Epstein serve as excellent background information on the matter.
Epstein?s book, Deception: the Invisible War Between the KGB and CIA, is a must read. He comprehensively dissects the key elements and components of deception; explains the hows and whys of Western vulnerabilities to the same; and, presents the historical context of the ?controversy? surrounding Golitsyn and Angleton. Moreover, it is the only work that extensively presents the other side of the story via extensive interviews with Angleton - the vast majority of other writings are based on hearsay and second-hand accountings.
Dr. Joseph D. Douglass Jr., author of Red Cocaine: The Drugging of America and the West, has been an authoritative source for two decades on the mostly hidden aspect and facet of the strategic use of ?organized crime? by Russia and China in furtherance of their hidden objectives against the West. If al-Qaida ever detonates a nuclear device on American soil, the Russian Mafia (comprised in large part with ex-Spetsnaz military personnel and former GRU/KGB intelligence officers) most likely will have played a direct hand in the acquisition of same and will have assisted in smuggling the device(s) through established drug routes into America or Great Britain.
One author who specifically subscribes to The Final Phase Thesis is J. R. Nyquist. His current work linked below specifically addresses this thesis within the context of today?s geopolitical events. His work is extensive on this subject and presented in a most authoritative and cogent way. His article, Wilderness of Mirrors Revisited: How I Got Here, is presented on the front page of this site and gives an excellent overview and background. He is the author of Origins of the Fourth World War: And the Coming Wars of Mass Destruction, which is a seminal and most comprehensive work on the specific thesis presented herein.
