Contents
Background
Zbigniew Brzezinski was born in Poland. The Second World War had a profound effect on Brzezinski, who stated that: "The extraordinary violence that was perpetrated against Poland did affect my perception of the world, and made me much more sensitive to the fact that a great deal of world politics is a fundamental struggle."[3] Brzezinski became a naturalized American citizen in 1958.[4]
Career
Zbigniew Brzezinski was a professor at Columbia University in the late 1960s when, during a Progressive Labor Party-led student strike, he called for the arrest, trial and incarceration of the leadership of 1968 campus strikes — and “[i]f that leadership cannot be liquidated at least it can be expelled from the country.”[2]
By his own account, Brzezinski facilitated the development of Islamic fundamentalism.[5] At the time, this was for exploitation to use against the USSR.
Brzezinski served as Bill Clinton's emissary to Azerbaijan in order to promote the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline. Subsequently, he became a member of Honorary Council of Advisors of US-Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce (USACC). Further, he led, together with fellow member of Le Cercle, Lane Kirkland, the effort to increase the endowment for the U.S.-sponsored Polish-American Freedom Foundation from the proposed $112 million to an eventual total of well over $200 million.
As Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Europe and NATO Policy (2001–2005) he developed "a plan for Europe" urging the expansion of NATO, making the case for the expansion of NATO to the Baltic states.
Mujaheddin in Afghanistan
In an interview with a French magazine, Brzezinski admitted giving military aid to the Afghan Mujaheddin before the Soviet intervention in December 1979[6]. Brzezinski later tried to deny this admission, but Tom Secker notes that this denial is clearly contradicted by documents from UK and US[7].
An excerpt from the French interview:
Question: The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated in his memoirs that the American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahiddin in Afghanistan six months before the Soviet intervention. Is this period, you were the national securty advisor to President Carter. You therefore played a key role in this affair. Is this correct?
Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahiddin began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan on December 24, 1979. But the reality, closely guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention [emphasis added throughout].
Q: Despite this risk, you were an advocate of this covert action. But perhaps you yourself desired this Soviet entry into the war and looked for a way to provoke it?
B: It wasn’t quite like that. We didn’t push the Russians to intervene, but we knowingly increased the probability that they would.
Q : When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against secret US involvement in Afghanistan , nobody believed them . However, there was an element of truth in this. You don’t regret any of this today?
B: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter, essentially: “We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war." Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war that was unsustainable for the regime , a conflict that bought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.
Q: And neither do you regret having supported Islamic fundamentalism, which has given arms and advice to future terrorists?
B : What is more important in world history? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some agitated Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?
Q : “Some agitated Moslems”? But it has been said and repeated: Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today...
B: Nonsense! It is said that the West has a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid: There isn’t a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner, without demagoguery or emotionalism. It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is t h ere in com m on among fundamentalist Saudi Arabia, moderate Morocco, militarist Pakistan, pro-Western Egypt, or secularist Central Asia? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries...
| Peter Dale Scott on Zbigniew Brzezinski's boast. |
“Eurasia is home to most of the world's politically assertive and dynamic states. All the historical pretenders to global power originated in Eurasia. The world's most populous aspirants to regional hegemony, China and India, are in Eurasia, as are all the potential political or economic challengers to American primacy. After the United States, the next six largest economies and military spenders are there, as are all but one of the world's overt nuclear powers, and all but one of the covert ones. Eurasia accounts for 75 percent of the world's population, 60 percent of its GNP, and 75 percent of its energy resources. Collectively, Eurasia's potential power overshadows even America's.”
Zbigniew Brzezinski [8]
“Eurasia is the world's axial supercontinent. A power that dominated Eurasia would exercise decisive influence over two of the world's three most economically productive regions, Western Europe and East Asia. A glance at the map also suggests that a country dominant in Eurasia would almost automatically control the Middle East and Africa. With Eurasia now serving as the decisive geopolitical chessboard, it no longer suffices to fashion one policy for Europe and another for Asia. What happens with the distribution of power on the Eurasian landmass will be of decisive importance to America's global primacy[…].”

A Quote by Zbigniew Brzezinski

| Directed-energy weapon | “In addition, it may be possible—and tempting—to exploit for strategic political purposes the fruits of research on the brain and on human behavior. Gordon J. F. MacDonald, a geophysicist specializing in problems of warfare, has written that accurately timed, artificially excited electronic strokes "could lead to a pattern of oscillations that produce relatively high power levels over certain regions of the earth. ... In this way, one could develop a system that would seriously impair the brain performance of very large populations in selected regions over an extended period. . . . No matter how deeply disturbing the thought of using the environment to manipulate behavior for national advantages to some, the technology permitting such use will very probably develop within the next few decades.” |

| Nebojsa Malic | “Zbigniew Brzezinski notoriously said that Russia cannot be an imperial power without Ukraine. I think he was wrong, but that's irrelevant; the foreign policy Blob in DC thinks this is Gospel truth.
This is why they went all-in on making Ukraine the anti-Russia, starting with the Orange Revolution in 2004. This is why they installed Vladimir Zelensky and poured over $200 billion worth of weapons, ammo and cash into Project Ukraine in just the past 2.5 years. But what if, and hear me out, they also realized at some point that their original plan failed, and that Ukraine is on track to become either a client of Russia or be absorbed outright — and changed their priorities to ensure there won't be any Ukrainians. That way, if Russia takes the territory, at least it won't have the demographics? Crazy as this sounds, it's one possible realistic explanation for the GAE insistence that Kiev keeps feeding its men into the meat grinder. Whoever survives, they figure, will be a refugee in the West or a hardcore Banderite (or both). Women can be sex workers (as so many already are), and children can be funneled into adoption mills (as so many already are). Ghoulish? Absolutely. But from the perspective of the Greater Atlantic Empire and its leadership, none of whom intend to live in Ukraine, perfectly logical.” | Nebojsa Malic | November 2024 |
