The Psychopath Under the Bed - PART ONE
Commentary for 2 November 2014
Because we can see that there is a complex
and clever system in Russia, quite opaque and
full of interesting details and inner rules, we
should conclude that the system came about by intelligent design.
But how? The evidence strongly suggests that
it did not come about by chance.
This book firmly rejects the ideas often promulgated in
Western academic circles that Putin is an ‘accidental autocrat’
or a ‘good tsar surrounded by bad boyars.’
- Karen Dawisha, Putin’s Kleptocracy: Who Owns Russia?
The elite [are] the ultimate authority [in Russia]:
it provides the collective leadership of which [the president]
is a member and which decides, among other things, how long he
should serve as President. The elite has to have some mechanism
at its disposal through which such decisions can be reached and
through which controlled political events can be coordinated.
It is essential to the success of the strategy that this mechanism
should be well concealed from the West. I lack the facilities to
study how it might be operating. The likelihood is, however, that
it functions under cover of some openly acknowledged body.
The National Security Council might be a candidate for investigation
as a possible front for this secret mechanism.
- Anatoliy Golitsyn, Memorandum to the CIA: 1 October 1993
I want to warn Americans. As a people, you are very naïve about
Russia and its intentions. You believe because the Soviet Union
no longer exists, Russia now is your friend. It isn’t, and I can
show you how the SVR [Russian Foreign Intelligence Service] is
trying to destroy the U.S. even today and even more than the KGB
did during the Cold War.
- Sergei Tretyakov, as quoted by Pete Early in Comrade J, 2007
America’s old enemy is still there, plotting the overthrow of capitalism.
But this is a paradox because communism supposedly died 23 years ago.
What died, of course, was something different. What actually died was
the practice of admitting to communist beliefs. That is what died!
The fashion today – in Russia and China, the U.S. and Europe,
Latin America and Africa – is to deny that one is a communist.
