Nightmare of the government of any country: a well-disguised sleeping soldiers of the elite special forces, abandoned from other countries. Saboteurs, provocateurs, terrorists, ready to act on the first order, writes German tabloid Bild.
“The chief of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin, — assured the journalists of the edition, is already placed underground combat units in Germany and in other countries of the West.”
This is confirmed by the investigation conducted by the author of books on Russia and Putin biographer, a German journalist Boris Ratsastaa and information at the disposal of the Bild. In his new book, “Putin’s Hidden war” Raytshuster relies on the dossier collected one Western European intelligence service, said in the article.
One of the key points of the dossier becomes Russian martial art System. This technique of martial arts — mastering the techniques of unarmed combat and eliminate the enemy — studied and taught Soviet and Russian intelligence officers, according to the authors.
“In schools, where they teach the technique of unarmed combat “System,” trained, as a rule, ordinary athletes. But all these are members of the military intelligence, the GRU and the special forces airborne. Agents of the Kremlin, soldiers of the elite units in the service license to the “silent” murder,” the article says.
Putin himself called in 2012-throwing combat units on foreign territory medium tested.
Citing the same report Western intelligence Agency, Bild describes the main goals for agents who were trained in schools. It is inciting riots in a given area, the recruitment of the “future elite”, the “distortion” of the political and social processes and the spread of undemocratic views.
As writes the edition, in Germany the results of such activities can be seen in such examples as the Pegida movement, support for the populist right and left, as well as a targeted campaign of disinformation among the “Russian Germans” (the case of allegedly raped 13-year-old Lisa from Berlin).
Since the early 1990s in Europe as sleeper agents and to recruit purposefully left the elite fighters of special units. They founded a network of schools working in “the System”, which covers the area from Toronto and Switzerland to Germany, said the publication Bild.
As he writes in his book Raytshuster, in Germany alone last year, security forces had identified about 300 people directly involved with the structures. According to Ratchatter, these saboteurs should not be underestimated.
Nor the last of Russia’s victory in Greece and causes enough reasonable suspicion in connection with the ultimate goal of Russia is the Kremlin’s activity in the Mediterranean region in General, neither the position of the Czech Republic (and, with it, at least in part of Slovakia which should act the same scheme since it started in Czechoslovakia), are neither the only nor the primary targets of such operations of the Putin regime in the West. Gerhardas Schroederis, Vladimiras Putinas© Reuters/Scanpix wouldn’t Even be accurate to claim that Greece, the Czech Republic or Slovakia is the most vulnerable to influence from Russia, NATO countries and the EU. If you look at the history of the KGB and its methods of intervention, and active measures, suspicions of the vulnerable places of the West may arise even where the majority of them and not trying to look. Related articles: Russia under Putin. A classic example of how just a few years to change the country (112) Russia under Putin. The Kremlin’s plan for Europe (37) German Foreign policy has changed dramatically Perhaps the most serious crisis of NATO most observers and political analysts still consider 2003, when Germany, France and Belgium blocked military aid to NATO of Turkey, which asked for it, since he feared the threat from Iraq, because it was intended to attack the United States. This veto was the culmination of previously existing differences within the Alliance that were divided into groups of countries that support and oppose the will of the US military means to solve the problem of the dictator Saddam Hussein. After Turkey formally activated article 4 of the agreement with NATO, which requires consultation of all countries of the Alliance, if one believes that there is a threat to its security, there is a real threat to the reliability of the Alliance, which is the basis of its existence. Not now, not then, no one doubted that the main “initiator” of the crisis (no matter how to evaluate the decision of the United States to get involved in the war in Iraq) were Germany and her then Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, who now openly serves the interests of Gazprom and Vladimir Putin. Criticized the then Chancellor of the German newspaper Kieler Nachrichten was then formulated his criticism in a geopolitical context. “The purpose of Schroeder’s (trying to avoid war) is not subject to criticism. Currently, however, it seems that the Chancellor for the sake of his mission, sacrificing all ties of foreign policy, which had managed to establish over the past 60 years. Now more and more obvious becomes the fact that talk about the exceptional way of Germany – it’s not a speech error, but an expression of inner conviction of the Chancellor. From the incredible naivety Chancellor takes your breath away: not even batting an eye, Schroeder demonstrates unity with Putin, who was fighting in Chechnya and with the government of China that the tanks crushed the opposition. Still only in order to challenge his new opponent in Washington,” wrote the Kieler Nachrichten. It Gerhard Schroeder was then the initiator of the Alliance between Germany, France and Belgium. This Alliance has gone so far that, after the annexation of Luxembourg, was to discuss even the creation of a separate military Alliance. “February 10 – black day in German history. On this day Germany almost destroyed NATO, having organized the ill-fated conspiracy with France and Belgium, which is generally unilateral application of military integration in 1966. The Alliance can formally extend their existence in the form of a propagating labels that has no ideological base, like the OSCE. And the US is now ready to form a coalition with the current members, which will be handy, and you will begin to ensure the safety of partners,” in mid-February 2003, the provision clearly appreciated the German edition Rheinicher Merkur. These dramatic quotes from the German media I give not in order to illustrate that the position of Gerhard Schroeder in Germany did not support. At least until then, until it was an existential threat to NATO, the policy of the Chancellor of Germany actually supported in the country and even helped him win the 2002 elections. These examples illustrate the drama of the situation and what policy to Schroeder, at least did not show a normal succession, and the initiators of radical change was what the then Chancellor of Germany, personally, and his government. One should look for reasons in the past? Acts as the Gerhard Schroeder, and Germany was interpreted in different ways. Often claimed that this is a demonstration of the changing role of Berlin in the international arena and the changing national interests – a kind of birth of a “new Germany”. But we should not forget that even then the German Christian Democrats and their leader Angela Merkel showed a completely opposite position. Angela Merkel, Gerhardas Schroederis © Reuters/Scanpix 21 February 2003, the newspaper Die Welt printed, can be considered a programmatic article on Merkel, the essence of which reflects the name “schröder does not speak on behalf of all Germans.” Merkel, who has never changed its position and remained faithful to NATO and the system of transatlantic security, in 2005, won G. Schroeder, and still remains at the head of Germany. No birth “Schroeder of Germany” we have not seen. Gerhard Schroeder, who is completing his career under the wing of Vladimir Putin – in the management of “Gazprom”, a considerable part of the Germans now believes the shame of the nation. True, most post Gerhard Schroeder in Gazprom consider a gift to V. Putin, only for the Nord Stream project, however, it is possible that this is a fee for merits of all life. And attempt to destroy NATO may be one of such merit. In this context we have to recall the already repeatedly mentioned fled to the West, the former head of Romanian intelligence ion Mihai Pacepa and his review appeared on the website of the journal National Review in February 2003, the “New anti-American axis of Berlin” (Berlin”s New Anti-American Axis), in which he, relying on his information about the activities of the KGB during the Soviet Union, evidence and witness testimony, explains the reasons selected by the German government policies of destruction of NATO. “On 10 February 2003 the German government began to create a new anti-American axis Berlin-Moscow-Paris. Since I am one of the experts of the Soviet bloc on the question of Germany and the head of the intelligence point unit in West Germany), something I waited since October 1998, when Joschka Fischer became Minister of foreign Affairs of Germany” – so began an article on a very suspicious relations.Fischer in his youth funded by KGB anti-American movement in West Germany and organized the KGB attacks – the famous Carlos the Jackal and the red Army Faction (“Rote the Armagh Fraktsion”, RAF). Joschka Fischeris© AFP/Scanpix In the article many of the details, which really should know, when you analyze “active measures”, which KGB weakened the West, or even tried to destroy its structure even in times of the USSR. However, in this article we are not talking about them. Moreover, in this aspect, you should carefully look at the biography doesn’t only.Fischer, but several members of the German government in 1998, primarily on the biography of Gerhard Schroeder, which himself I. M. Pacepa article says. Nonrandom lawyers Many outside of Germany may not even know or have long forgotten one of the most controversial parts of the biography of Gerhard Schroeder. He was not only a member of the anti-American movement as Well.Fisher, but faithful and honored lawyer of one of the founders of the RAF, Horst Mahler. And he H. Mahler, as it is now known (it was discovered much later, when Gerhard Schroeder graduated political career), was an agent of partner of the KGB security service of East Germany “Stasi”. The experts who know and explored the practical actions of the KGB and its partners in the countries of Eastern Europe, there is no doubt that the random people in the number of lawyers unmasked agents of the security structures of the Soviet bloc simply did not have. The best example may be the well-known French lawyer Jacques Verges, who because he defended almost all the bloodiest terrorists of the twentieth century, including Carlos the Jackal, who has always supported the Stasi and the KGB) and dictators, nicknamed the “devil’s Advocate”. About the relations of the J. Verges with KGB rumors circulated that from the beginning of his career. According to one theory, mysteriously disappeared in the seventies of the XX century for 8 years, J. Verges actually at that time was studying at the KGB school in the art of destabilization of the political space in Western Europe. However, as this theory, and all the other rumors about the relations of Jean Verges with the KGB, and has not been proven. And yet now, when it is known and there is documented evidence of the activities of the KGB in the Soviet era, the conclusions about those or other links of this lawyer with the secret services of the USSR not only on the basis of his biography. First, he was a member of the Communist anti-colonial movement in 1950 at the Congress in Prague he was elected to the management bodies of the International Union of students. Later J. Verges for several years he lived in Prague and worked in this organization. That the international Union of students was an organization that supported the USSR and the KGB, was known in the years of the Soviet Union, but its role is probably the most graphically illustrates the personality of the then head Alexander Shelepin. Later Shelepin was appointed head of the KGB. Was a target for many years, the parallel with the well-known defender of terrorists, who were supported by the KGB, J. Verges, of course, does not mean that he Gerhard Schroeder in the seventies of the last century, was recruited by the Stasi or KGB agent. However, the fact that Gerhard Schroeder even allowed to protect not only the member of the RAF, which was supported by the KGB, but it is now known to the agent “Stasi” H. Mahler, mean that the future Chancellor of Germany already anyway have earned the trust of the Stasi or the KGB and was in the field of view of these services. Moreover, he himself participated in the support of the KGB’s anti-American youth movement. Gerhardas Schroederis, Angela Merkel, Dmitrijus Medvedevas© Reuters/Scanpix In September 2010 on the website of the magazine the American Spectator is the same I. M. Pacepa published a review about the recently detained in the United States, ten Russian spies, the threat from so-called illegal immigrants “the Truth about illegals” (Truth about Illegals). In this commentary, the former head of the Romanian foreign intelligence service also mentions Gerhard Schroeder and a biography of this now former Chancellor of Germany. “High-level illegal immigrants, such as Venus (one of the leaders of the Social democratic party of Germany, Herbert-Wehner – M. L.), helped the Kremlin to reach out to other influential politicians in West Germany. Not a coincidence the fact that in 2002 the traditionally Pro-American Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany Gerhard Schroeder has agreed to join Vladimir Putin, resisting almost all the initiatives of U.S. foreign policy. And, of course, it is no coincidence that in 2005, when Gerhard Schroeder was defeated in the elections, trying for the third time to become Chancellor, he became one of the highest ranks of huge state-owned Russian company Gazprom, which was then headed by the President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev”, – wrote I. M. Pacepa. However, even more interesting in the context of an interview about the exploration of the socialist German Stasi and Soviet intelligence in Germany with the Colonel of the Russian intelligence service Viktor Kalashnikov, published in June 2007 in “Kommersant”. Here is a quote from the interview: “the Army of useful idiots in the FRG (Federal Republic of Germany – M. L.) and other countries was replenished with new volunteers. And in the “camp of friendship”, organized by the Komsomol Central Committee in the Caucasus and in the Crimea, passed the crowds of young politicians from the capitalist countries. From us they left with the intention of the anti-imperialist struggle in all its forms and to supporting the cause of Palestinians, Nicaraguans, Mozambicans and so on. This promising youth we had mountains of information and compromising (here I thought it best trusted Komsomolskaya Pravda), which laid the Foundation for Soviet and Russian intelligence intelligence for decades to come. Among them, there were not enough capable and ambitious West Germans, possessed left the idea and grateful to the Soviet comrades for help with their withdrawal. By the way, one of these young people was Gerhard Schroeder. This interview, of course, also a proof that Schroeder was a KGB agent, brought up from a young age how it is to be understood if read literally. For such accusations need more proof, such investigations should deal with the German intelligence service. However, if it turns out that Gerhard Schroeder really participated in these “friendship camps” in the Soviet Union, further his career, at least analytically, doubts does not cause. Confidence is never undermined whatever it was, even if the former Chancellor of Germany the Stasi and the KGB considered merely a useful idiot, it is obvious that at least these services to trust him always. And it does not matter, consciously or not, that trust Gerhard Schroeder never undermined – especially in the issue of the position regarding NATO. Will demonstrate a few of the facts. In December 1979 the Ministers of foreign Affairs and defence of the NATO countries adopted the so-called so-called “double decision,” which offered the Warsaw Pact a bilateral limit the number of ballistic missiles of average range. Thus, it was decided that if the offer is rejected, to increase the number stationed in Western Europe such missiles. Gerhard Schroeder immediately rose to the ranks of opponents of this decision and actively involved, as we now know, often undertaken and financed by the KGB, the so-called protest movements in the name of peace, thereby challenging NATO. I must admit that, almost came to power in Germany in 1998 with Gerhard Schroeder made the decision to completely reverse the destruction of NATO, the participation of his country in the campaign for the bombing of Yugoslavia. Although the campaign wasn’t permitted by the UN, Gerhard Schroeder, and Th.Fisher supported the idea of participation of German forces in a military operation for the first time since the end of world war II. However, then the position of Gerhard Schroeder, it may be possible to explain his inexperience as Chancellor and unwillingness to create problems demonstration of a completely different position. Because now Gerhard Schroeder openly States that NATO air campaign against Yugoslavia, which he supported, was a violation of international law. Later Germany led by Gerhard Schroeder participated in operations in Afghanistan, but this operation somehow supported and Russia. And later Gerhard Schroeder announced almost a personal vendetta against the US and NATO in 2002-2003, However, the events of 2003, when NATO, as mentioned, the efforts of Gerhard Schroeder was on the verge of collapse, still not finished. In February 2005, even after retiring from the post of Chancellor of Germany, Gerhard Schroeder still managed to surprise as his country and the whole world, and Russia – please offer some “known people on both sides of the Atlantic” to find a new role for NATO, as the current is outdated. What good, exactly the essence of such proposals, which, of course, never seriously considered, described by the German weekly Der Spiegel: “When it seemed that the transatlantic link is warm again, he made a speech at the Munich security conference, which instantly returned all in the permafrost zone”. The secret of the personal connection In the context that we consider important and personal the relationship between Gerhard schröder and worked in Dresden, former KGB agent Vladimir Putin that began with their very first meeting. Gerhard Schroeder himself criticized his predecessor Helmut Kohl as close personal ties with the democratic President of Russia Boris Yeltsin and his policy towards Russia. I was hoping that with the coming to power of Gerhard Schroeder, the relationship between Germany and Russia can change. These predictions are confirmed by the first meeting Gerhard Schroeder and Boris Yeltsin in 1998. Helmutas Kohlis© AFP/Scanpix Later, the relationship between the two leaders was somewhat warmer. however, everything radically and suddenly changed from the very first meeting, when the authorities in Russia came former KGB agent Vladimir Putin, with whom Schroeder struck up such a close relationship with Helmut Kohl Boris Yeltsin never dreamed of. Moreover, the famous German journalist and author Michael Thumann, trying to explain the nature of that special relationship between Gerhard schröder and Vladimir Putin, even claims that it was the sole position G. schröder: “the Chancellor has agreed to discuss its strategy concerning Russia, neither with the media nor with his party nor with the government. He just swallowed all the criticism.” Borisas Jelcinas, Vladimiras Putinas© Reuters/Scanpix However, M. Thumann finds a rational explanation for such an exclusive relationship, you cannot justify any years of the Kremlin’s influence on Gerhard Schroeder, between the two leaders. According to him, these relations are mainly caused by the personal and biographical connections (mentioned my observation of them is not highlighted – M. L.), a coincidence of the interests of the global and strategic partnership in the energy business. However, in the aforementioned context, the biography Gerhard Schroeder also worth mentioning that ensuing from the first encounter, the exclusive connection is with the former KGB agent Vladimir Putin, concluded that Schroeder received one of the highest positions in the leadership of “Gazprom”. By the way, Vladimir Putin was not so gray and nevliyatelny a KGB agent, as he is often portrayed in various biographies. The Russian newspaper “Version”, which, incidentally, has always been in the sphere of influence of the main rival of Vladimir Putin for the presidency Yevgeny Primakov, in January 2000, announced that Vladimir Putin helped the KGB to liaise with the Swiss terrorist Bruno Breguet, a known associate of Carlos the Jackal. American and Russian journalist Masha Gessen in 2011 managed to find one of the former “contact” of Vladimir Putin from the same Raph, by the lawyer of one of the founders of which was Gerhard Schroeder. Carlos the Jackal and his associates have organized joint attacks with the RAF. It is therefore very likely that Vladimir Putin, communicating with the said M. Hesse, a former member of the RAF, not only asked for things for himself, as he testified, “contact”, but at least in part coordinated the activities of terrorists. And then he and G. Schroeder could know much earlier than was their official meeting, when Vladimir Putin became President. In this case, it started with the first meeting, the relationship between Vladimir Putin and Gerhard Schroeder would have been more understandable. Schroederis G. ir V. Putinas, 2002 m. © Scanpix Favourable Russia, the work does not stop All these coincidences – really worth to be known and analyzed. Especially one turned politician, a former attorney H. Mahler, Hans-Christian Strebel, who is now the representative of the green Party in the German Parliament, until now, consciously or not, involved not just favorable for Russia stocks, and shares, which are directly organized by the Russian FSB. This is what happened in the fall of 2013, when H. K. Rebele defiantly went to Moscow to hold talks with Edward Snowden about the testimony related to the scandal surrounding electronic surveillance of us national security Agency (NSA). Recently, investigation of this has been officially discontinued due to lack of evidence. H. K. Rebele also worked actively to ensure that Germany itself has granted asylum to E. Snowden, thereby, of course, spoiling its relations with the United States. Although I already wrote, in the context of the activity H. K. Rebele worth repeating that the scandal of Edward Snowden is not just a scandal, and another classical operation of “active measures” Russian special services. It has been repeatedly argued, said an authoritative expert in this matter, the same NSA analyst, and later a Professor of national security at the naval war College U.S. Naval War College John R. Schindler. That, Edward Snowden is now undoubtedly working for the Russian secret services, he said, and the already mentioned former KGB General Oleg Kalugin and former major in the KGB counterintelligence Boris Karpichev. Edwardas Snowdenas© AFP/Scanpix moreover, that the visit of H. K. Sebele to Moscow was prepared by the Russian Federal security service, confirmed even by the German intelligence services. And, by the way, has long been obvious that one of the main goals of this operation “active measures” is the same, which consciously or not, sought the government of Gerhard Schroeder to stop connection between Europe and the USA and thus to weaken or destroy NATO. Such historical context the actions of the KGB with modernity it is necessary to analyze in order to better understand what the real purpose of Putin’s regime, and in what ways the Kremlin achieves them.
