The Imperial Collapse Playbook 

By Dmitry Orlov

December 30, 2014 "ICH" - Some people enjoy having the Big Picture laid out in front of them—the biggest possible—on what is happening in the world at large, and I am happy to oblige. The largest development of 2014 is, very broadly, this: the Anglo-imperialists are finally being forced out of Eurasia. How can we tell? Well, here is the Big Picture—the biggest I could find. I found it thanks to Nikolai Starikovand a recent article of his.

Now, let's first define our terms. By Anglo-imperialists I mean the combination of Britain and the United States. The latter took over for the former as it failed, turning it into a protectorate. Now the latter is failing too, and there are no new up-and-coming Anglo-imperialists to take over for it. But throughout this process their common playbook had remained the same: pseudoliberal pseudocapitalism for the insiders and military domination and economic exploitation for everyone else. Much more specifically, their playbook always called for a certain strategem to be executed whenever their plans to dominate and exploit any given country finally fail. On their way out, they do what they can to compromise and weaken the entity they leave behind, by inflicting a permanently oozing and festering political wound. “Poison all the wells” is the last thing on their pre-departure checklist.

• When the British got tossed out of their American Colonies, they did all they could, using a combination of import preferences and British “soft power,” to bolster the plantation economy of the American South, helping set it up as a sort of anti-United States, and the eventual result was the American Civil War.

• When the British got tossed out of Ireland, they set up Belfast as a sort of anti-Ireland, with much blood shed as a result.

• When the British got tossed out of India, they set up Pakistan, as a sort of anti-India, precipitating a nasty hot war, followed by a frozen conflict over Kashmir.

• When the US lost China to the Communists, they evacuated the Nationalists to Taiwan, and set it up as a sort of anti-China, and even gave it China's seat at the United Nations.

The goal is always the same: if they can't have the run of the place, they make sure that nobody else can either, by setting up a conflict scenario that nobody there can ever hope to resolve. And so if you see Anglo-imperialists going out of their way and spending lots of money to poison the political well somewhere in the world, you can be sure that they are on their way out. Simply put, they don't spend lots of money to set up intractable problems for themselves to solve—it's always done for the benefit of others.

Fast-forward to 2014, and what we saw was the Anglo-imperialist attempt to set up Ukraine as a sort of anti-Russia. They took a Slavic, mostly Russian-speaking country and spent billions (that's with a “b”) of dollars corrupting its politics to make the Ukrainians hate the Russians. For a good while an average Ukrainian could earn a month's salary simply by turning up for an anti-Russian demonstration in Kiev, and it was said that nobody in Ukraine goes to protests free of charge; it's all paid for by the US State Department and associated American NGOs. The result was what we saw this year: a bloody coup, and a civil war marked by numerous atrocities. Ukraine is in the midst of economic collapse with power plants out of coal and lights going off everywhere, while at the same time the Ukrainians are being drafted into the army and indoctrinated to want to go fight against “the Muscovites.”

But, if you notice, things didn't go quite as planned. First, Russia succeeded in making a nice little example of self-determination in the form of Crimea: if it worked for Kosovo, why can't it work for Crimea? Oh, the Anglo-imperialist establishment wishes to handle these things on a case-by-case basis, and in this case it doesn't approve? Well, that would be a double-standard, wouldn't it? World, please take note: when the West talks about justice and human rights, that's just noise.

Next, the Russians provided some amount of support, including weapons, volunteers and humanitarian aid, to Ukraine's eastern provinces of Donetsk and Lugansk, which declared themselves People's Republics and successfully fought Ukraine's so-called “anti-terrorist operation” to a stalemate and an imperfect, precarious cease-fire. Very significantly, Russia absolutely refused to get involved militarily, has withheld official recognition of these republics, has refused to consider breaking up Ukraine, and continues to insist on national dialogue and a peace process even as the bullets fly. According to Putin, Ukraine must be maintained as “a contiguous political space.” Thus, the Russians have responded to the Anglo-imperialists' setting up of an anti-Russia in the form of Ukraine by setting up an anti-Ukraine in the form of DPR and LPR, thereby shunting the Anglo-imperialist attempt to provoke a war between Ukraine and Russia into a civil war within Ukraine.

You might also notice that the Anglo-imperialists have been getting very, very angry. They have been doing everything they can to vilify Russia, comparing Putin to Hitler and so on. This is because for them it's all about the money, and they didn't get what they paid for. What the Anglo-imperialists were paying for in corrupting Ukraine's politics was a ring-side seat at a fight between Ukraine and Russia. And what they got instead is a two-legged stool at a bar-room brawl between Eastern and Western Ukraine. Eastern Ukraine accounts for a quarter of the Ukrainian economy, produces most of the coal that had formerly kept the lights on in the rest of the country, and contains most of the industry that had made Ukraine an industrialized nation. Western Ukraine is centered on the unhappy little rump of Galicia, where the political soil is so fertile for growing neo-Nazis. So, paying billions to watch a bunch of Ukrainians fight each other inconclusively while Russia gets to play peacemaker is not what the Anglo-imperialists wanted, and they are absolutely livid about it. If they don't get the war they paid for PDQ, they will simply cut their losses, pack up and leave, and then do what they always do, which is pretend that the country in question doesn't exist, which, the way things are going in the Ukraine, it barely will.

Note that leaving, and then pretending that a place doesn't exist, is something the Anglo-imperialists have been doing a lot lately. When they left Iraq, they did succeed in setting up a sort of anti-Iraq in the form of Iraqi Kurdistan, but that all blew up in their face. Their attempts to set up an anti-Syria or an anti-Libya died in their infancy, and they don't seem to have any plan at all with regard to Afghanistan, unless it is to repeat every single blunder the Soviets made there as carefully and completely as possible.

What's more, it's starting to look like they are about to get kicked out of Eurasia altogether. Most of the major Eurasian players—China, Russia, India, Iran, much of Central Asia—are cementing their ties around the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, to which the United States isn't even admitted as an observer. As for the European Union, the current crop of EU politicians is very much bought and will be paid for upon retirement by the Anglo-imperialists, but the only reason they are still in power is that there are lots of older voters in Western Europe, and older people tend to cling to what they know even after it stops working—for them or, especially, for their kids. If it was up to the young people, the Anglo-imperialists would face open rebellion. In fact, the trends in voting patterns show that their departure from the region is a matter of time.

Here is a preview of possible coming attractions. On their way out, the Anglo-imperialists will of course try to set up an anti-Europe, and the obvious choice for that is Britain. Of all the European nations, it is the most heavily manipulated by their Anglo cousins from across the pond. It would take minimal effort for them to hurt Britain economically, then launch a propaganda campaign to redirect the blame for the bad economy toward the continent. They wouldn't even have to hire translators for their propaganda—a simple “spelling-chequer” (or whatever) would suffice. And so, to make sure that their efforts to provoke a large-scale, hugely destructive, festering conflict between Britain and Europe fail, Europe would do well to set up an anti-Britain within Britain.

And the obvious choice for an anti-Britain is of course Scotland, where the recent independence referendum failed because of... the recalcitrance of older voters. A dividing line between the Anglo empire and Eurasia running through the English Channel/La Manche would be a disaster for Europe and moving it somewhere west of Bermuda would pose a formidable challenge. On the other hand, suppose that line ran along Hadrian's Wall, with the traditionally combative and ornery Scots, armed with the remnants of North Sea oil and gas, aligning themselves with the Continent, while England remains an ever-so-obedient vassal of the Anglo-imperialists? That would reduce the intercontinental conflict to what Americans like to call a “pissing contest”: not worth the high price of admission. Yes, there would be some strong words between the two sides, and some shoving and shouting outside of pubs, and even some black eyes and loose teeth should diplomacy fail, but that should be the extent of the damage. That I see as the best-case outcome.

So that's the big picture I see heading into 2015, which I am sure will be a most tumultuous year. Not to make a prediction as to timing (don't worry, you won't ever get one out of me!) but 2015 could be the year the Anglo-imperialist franchise finally starts shutting down in obvious ways. We know it will have to shut down eventually, because failing all the time is not conducive to its survival. The bonus question is, what sort of anti-America will these parasites set up inside America before they abandon their host and scatter to their fortified compounds in undisclosed locations around the world? Or will they not even bother, and just provoke a war of all against all?

I would think that they would at least try to leverage their expensively engineered red/blue divide within the United States. This fake cultural/political divide, with all the pseudoliberal/pseudoconservative indoctrination and university- and church-based brainwashing that put it in place, cost them a pretty penny. It was engineered to produce the appearance of choice at election-time while making sure that there isn't any. But could it not be pressed into service in some more extreme manner? How about leveraging it to organize some sort of rabidly homophobic racist fundamentalist separatist enclave somewhere down south? Or perhaps one somewhere in the north, where zoophilia is de rigeur while heterosexual intercourse requires a special permit from a committee stocked with graduates in women's studies? Now, fight, you idiots! Don't you see how well that could work in practice? Would they waste such a nice opportunity to set up a system of controlled mayhem? I think not!

I leave all of that up to you to imagine.

Happy New Year!

BRITISH HEROIN & PAEDOPHILLIA WARS

History repeats itself and the evidence is in front of our eyes in Ireland, for those who care to wake up, open their eyes and connect the dots. The British secret services were around for the Empire, long before they passed it on to their WASP cousins in America and helped them found their own secret services. Margaret Thatcher's special relationship with Ronald Reagan in the war on drugs, deregulation and on the former USSR, included a deep paranoia of her own secret services, to the point, that she employed foreign agents in Ireland both for surveillance and counter revolutionary activities. The following summary by Benjamin Fischer, gives us a glimpse of this with respect to the former USSR

"Soviet intelligence services went on alert in 1981 to watch for US preparations for launching a surprise nuclear attack against the USSR and its allies. This alert was accompanied by a new Soviet intelligence collection program, known by the acronym RYAN, to monitor indications and provide early warning of US intentions. Two years later a major war scare erupted in the USSR. This study traces the origins and scope of Operation RYAN and its relationship to the war scare.

Some observers dismissed the alert and the war scare as Soviet disinformation and scare tactics, while others viewed them as reflecting genuine fears. The latter view seems to have been closer to the truth. The KGB in the early 1980s saw the international situation--in Soviet terminology, the "correlation of world forces"--as turning against the USSR and increasing its vulnerability. These developments, along with the new US administration's tough stance toward the USSR, prompted Soviet officials and much of the populace to voice concern over the prospect of a US nuclear attack.

New information suggests that Moscow also was reacting to US-led naval and air operations, including psychological warfare missions conducted close to the Soviet Union. These operations employed sophisticated concealment and deception measures to thwart Soviet early warning systems and to offset the Soviets' ability--greatly bolstered by US spy John Walker--to read US naval communications.

In addition, this study shows how:
The war scare affected Soviet responses to the Reagan administration's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), the administration's condemnation of the Soviet Union following the 1983 shootdown of a South Korean airliner, and a NATO nuclear-release exercise late that same year.
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher sought to use the Soviet alert/war scare to influence President Reagan's thinking about the USSR.
Moscow's threat perceptions and Operation RYAN were influenced by memories of Hitler's 1941 surprise attack on the USSR (Operation BARBAROSSA).
The Kremlin exploited the war scare for domestic political purposes, aggravating fears among the Soviet people.
The KGB abandoned caution and eschewed proper tradecraft in collecting indications-and-warning intelligence and relied heavily on East German foreign and military intelligence to meet RYAN requirements.

" 'Never, perhaps, in the postwar decades was the situation in the world as explosive and hence, more difficult and unfavorable, as in the first half of the 1980s.

--Mikhail Gorbachev, February 1986' "

To try to understand and grasp the political control, British secret services exercise on countries like Ireland, using the tried and tested tools of both heroin and paedophile trafficking, we need to look at how they used them historically, to being down the huge Empire of China. We can be absolutely certain, they are being employed worldwide today within the prohibition environment of the Reagan and Thatcher creation of the War on Drugs. There are smarter cheaper ways to counter this scourge but it would not serve the political purpose of the intelligence services. MI6 are known as the the Lords of the International Heroin trade, which is worth hundreds of billions of British Pounds Sterling annually.


In the final decade of the 1800s China's had a population of 450 million people. The ruling dynasty of the Ching, from Manchuria, had in 1644 superseded the Ming dynasty.The Manchu emperors were successful Empire builders and the reign of Chien-lung 1736-1795, was a time of great expansion. China gained Turkestan, Burma, and Tibet. At the end of eighteenth century Manchu power extended into Nepal, and its territory was as extensive, as any dynasty.

The British in India were irritated by high customs duties and by the attempts of China, to stop the growing import trade in opium, which was destroying their society. The drug from the poppy, had traditionally been used for medicinal purposes, but in the previous centuries, the British cultivated a habit among people of all classes, to use it for recreation. The opium came from India via the front of the British East India Company, and in 1800, the import of heroin was forbidden by the Chinese imperial government. Despite this the British opium trade continued to flourish. British traders made huge profits from the growing number of Chinese addicts. The Chinese government in Peking, noted that the British were intent on dragging down China, through mentoring opium addiction.

The central bureaucracy of China declined in efficiency, as a result, and the emperors became weaker, to the point, where they were unable to rule properly.The balance of trade turned against China in the 1830s and the British forced the issue of increased trading rights. The conflict was essentially the opium trade. By this time, more than 30,000 chests, each holding 150 pounds of heroin extract, were brought in by the British annually. Some of China's authorities asserted, that opium trade alone reversed China's formerly favorable balance of trade. In 1839 Chinese authorities confiscated and burned the opium. In response, the British invaded stratefic positions around Canton.

In the war that followed, as in the instance of other British Colnial conquests, the technological and tactical superiority of the British, perfected in their perpetual worldwide wars of invasion, prevailed. In 1842, China agreed to the Treaty of Nanking. Hong Kong was given to Britain, along other strategic ports, which were opened to British residence and trade.

Later the French and Americans, having learned from devious British piracy, approached the Chinese after the Nanking Treaty became public and gained the same trading rights, like the British. The advantages gained with the Chinese, set a precedent, that still dominates trade relations, worldwide today with their "most favored nation" treatment.The humiliation of China, is still remembered today and affects most aspects of its foreign policy. Meanwhile, the heroin trade continues to thrive worldwide, largely under British control.

The British adopted the same strategy, when overtly or nominally, exiting all of their colonies, of Empire worldwide, replacing them with the British Commonwealth. This is also the foundation of the special relationship, post the Suez Crisis, between the UK and US worldwide today. In the two scum states, established in divided Ireland, after its war of independence, the British left their form of bureaucracy behind intact, to rule covertly, infected with its agents in the Irish armed forces, policing, secret services, civil service, media and every important aspect of Irish life to the present day. 

The British elements of heroin and paedophillia trafficking, are critically important instruments of leverage, to maintain covert control and Imperial collusion.This of course, creates further suspicion and division, within Irish communities. Political assassination, internment without trial and draconian censorship, are now ingrained, within the Irish culture as a result, including the make-up of both Irish scum states, used since their formation, for the purpose of control and secrecy. Every generation of Irish people, since the formation of both bastardized states, in divided Ireland, since their creation, has felt the full effects of this oppression, up to the present day.As a result of publicity around anti-heroin operations, by groups aligned to the Continuity IRA, the Irish police have been forced into action in recent weeks, against drug trafficking. Yesterday the Irish Navy and the Garda prevented a major drug smuggling operation into Europe, when they detained a yacht with €80 million worth of cocaine off the west coast of Ireland. They detained an 19 metre luxury yacht, called Makayabella, carrying one ton of cocaine on board at 3 A.M. yesterday morning, 250 miles off Mizen Head in West Cork. The yacht was crewed by three British operators, who complied with a demand to hand over control of the yacht to the Irish.

The three men are from West Yorkshire, and are currently detained from two Irish naval ships, escorted the Mayakabella to the Irish Naval Base in Cork Harbour. The detention of the yacht involved members of the Garda National Drugs Unit and was the result of an international operation. The National Crime Agency of the UK and French customs, received intelligence on the shipment of cocaine from the Carribean to the UK and passed on the intelligence to the Maritime Analyis Operation Centre Narcotics in Portugal, which co-ordinates anti-drug trafficking in several European Union states, who then ordered the Irish Joint Task Force, to get off their arses immediately and detain the luxury yacht off the coast of Ireland. The consignment was meant to rendezvous with a collection vessel off the UK, for import into Britain. Another man was already arrested in the West Yorkshire area, for questioning about the drug shipment.
