International Terrorism

Does Not Exist

 

By General Leonid Ivashov

1-22-6

 

General Leonid Ivashov was the Chief of Staff of the Russian armed

forces when the September 11, 2001, attacks took place. This military

man, who lived the events from the inside, offers an analysis which is

very different to that of his American colleagues. As he did during

the Axis for Peace 2005 conference, he now explains that international

terrorism does not exist and that the September 11 attacks were the

result of a set-up. What we are seeing is a manipulation by the big

powers; this terrorism would not exist without them. He affirms that,

instead of faking a " world war on terror " , the best way to reduce that

kind of attacks is through respect for international law and peaceful

cooperation among countries and their citizens.

As the current international situation shows, terrorism emerges where

contradiction aggravate, where there is a change of social relations

or a change of regime, where there is political, economic or social

instability, where there is moral decadence, where cynicism and

nihilism triumph, where vice is legalized and where crime spreads.

It is globalization what creates the conditions for the emergence of

these extremely dangerous phenomena. It is in this context that the

new world geo-strategic map is being designed, that the resources of

the planet are being re-distributed, that borders are disappearing,

that international law is being torn into pieces, that cultural

identities are being erased, that spiritual life becomes impoverished...

 

The analysis of the essence of the globalization process, the military

and political doctrines of the United States and other countries,

shows that terrorism contributes to a world dominance and the

submissiveness of states to a global oligarchy. This means that

terrorism is not something independent of world politics but simply an

instrument, a means to install a unipolar world with a sole world

headquarters, a pretext to erase national borders and to establish the

rule of a new world elite. It is precisely this elite that constitutes

the key element of world terrorism, its ideologist and its

" godfather " . The main target of the world elite is the historical,

cultural, traditional and natural reality; the existing system of

relations among states; the world national and state order of human

civilization and national identity.

 

Today's international terrorism is a phenomenon that combines the use

of terror by state and non-state political structures as a means to

attain their political objectives through people's intimidation,

psychological and social destabilization, the elimination of

resistance from power organizations and the creation of appropriate

conditions for the manipulation of the countries' policies and the

behavior of people.

 

Terrorism is the weapon used in a new type of war. At the same time,

international terrorism, in complicity with the media, becomes the

manager of global processes. It is precisely the symbiosis between

media and terror, which allows modifying international politics and

the exiting reality.

 

In this context, if we analyze what happened on September 11, 2001, in

the United States, we can arrive at the following conclusions: 1. The

organizers of those attacks were the political and business circles

interested in destabilizing the world order and who had the means

necessary to finance the operation. The political conception of this

action matured there where tensions emerged in the administration of

financial and other types of resources. We have to look for the

reasons of the attacks in the coincidence of interests of the big

capital at global and transnational levels, in the circles that were

not satisfied with the rhythm of the globalization process or its

direction.

 

Unlike traditional wars, whose conception is determined by generals

and politicians, the oligarchs and politicians submitted to the former

were the ones who did it this time.

 

2. Only secret services and their current chiefs ­ or those retired

but still having influence inside the state organizations ­ have the

ability to plan, organize and conduct an operation of such magnitude.

 

Generally, secret services create, finance and control extremist

organizations. Without the support of secret services, these

organizations cannot exist ­ let alone carry out operations of such

magnitude inside countries so well protected. Planning and carrying

out an operation on this scale is extremely complex.

 

3. Osama bin Laden and " Al Qaeda " cannot be the organizers nor the

performers of the September 11 attacks. They do not have the necessary

organization, resources or leaders. Thus, a team of professionals had

to be created and the Arab kamikazes are just extras to mask the

operation.

 

The September 11 operation modified the course of events in the world

in the direction chosen by transnational mafias and international

oligarchs; that is, those who hope to control the planet's natural

resources, the world information network and the financial flows. This

operation also favored the US economic and political elite that also

seeks world dominance.

The use of the term " international terrorism " has the following goals:

 

Hiding the real objectives of the forces deployed all over the world

in the struggle for dominance and control;

 

Turning the people's demands to a struggle of undefined goals against

an invisible enemy;

 

Destroying basic international norms and changing concepts such as:

aggression, state terror, dictatorship or movement of national liberation;

 

Depriving peoples of their legitimate right to fight against

aggressions and to reject the work of foreign intelligence services;

 

Establishing the principle of renunciation to national interests,

transforming objectives in the military field by giving priority to

the war on terror, violating the logic of military alliances to the

detriment of a joint defense and to favor the anti-terrorist coalition;

 

Solving economic problems through a tough military rule using the war

on terror as a pretext. In order to fight in an efficient way against

international terrorism it is necessary to take the following steps:

 

To confirm before the UN General Assembly the principles of the UN

Charter and international law as principles that all states are

obliged to respect;

 

To create a geo-strategic organization (perhaps inspired in the

Cooperation Organization of Shanghai comprised of Russia, China,

Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan) with a set of

values different to that of the Atlantists; to design a strategy of

development of states, a system of international security, another

financial and economic model (which would mean that the world would

again rest on two pillars);

 

To associate (under the United Nations) the scientific elites in the

design and promotion of the philosophical concepts of the Human Being

of the 21st Century.

 

To organize the interaction of all religious denominations in the

world, on behalf of the stability of humanity's development, security

and mutual support.
