Velkommen til Kald Krig II*

Bush d.y. (en mann som ikke ble valgt men blir utvalgt av en Hoeyesterett delvis utpekt av faren er ikke president) har hittil gjort åtte feil med tunge konsekvenser for USA og resten av oss:

1. Fortsatt bombing og sanksjoner mot det noedlidende irakske folk, med sterke reaksjoner i alle arabiske/islamske land;

2. Sanksjoner mot et av verdens fattigste land, Afghanistan fordi USA har problemer med en person de en gang stoettet (bin Laden). Som Chalmers Johnson papeker i sin briljante Blowback (Hevn) er terrorisme som regel hevn for amerikansk statsterrorisme, og den er det mye av, altsa stadig oekende terrorisme i kommende år.

3. Veto mot observatoerer i den kronisk betente Israel-Palestina situasjonen, stoettet av feige allierte som “avholder seg”.

Til varig erindring: FNs Sikkeretsrad har fire kristne og ett konfusiansk medlem, intet av de 56 muslimske land er med. Hvordan vile vi ha reagert pa fire muslimske land, og Kina?

4. Et gigantisk skattereduksjonsprogram for de rike akkurat når misforholdet mellom finans-økonomi og produktiv økonomi utvikler seg til den krisen vi vel alle har ventet pa tyder pa sterkt svekket virkelighetssans. Amerikanere har pantsatt sine hus for a kunne spekulere; nå sitter mange med tap, huslån og uten jobb. Dette er allerede ganske mye pa sa kort tid. Dertil kommer:

5. Drapet pa fredsprosessen i Korea, sunshine ble sunset – fordi USA hater at andre løser konflikter og til og med ikke-militaert, og fordi det trenger Nord-Korea som busemann og paskudd for base i Syd-Korea.

6. Spionfly langs Kinas kyst – hva om Kina gjorde det samme langs Kalifornia? Instrumentene er sa gode at internasjonalt farvann holder. USA beklager, men unnskylder aldri, heller ikke nar de dreper italienske skiturister og japanske sjøfolk med fly som flyr for lavt og ubåter som kjører for hoeytt. Umodent.

7. NMD, rakett-skjoldet som påstås å være et forsvarsvapen. Langt ifra, tror man det forstår man lite. De farligste land i verden (vikingene i sin tid, mongolene, England) kombinerer offensive vapen med et defensivt opplegg som gjoer dem usarbare. USA hadde to hav, et vennligt Kanada, et kastrert Mexico etter at USA stjal halve landet krigen 1846-48. Idag tenker de pa verdensrommet hvor de for tiden er helt suverene; imorgen pa tunneller under USA.

Hva er det som ligger bak alt dette?

Verdensherredømme, naturligvis; og troen pa at et “fritt marked” som er med pa a drepe 100,000 av sult hver dag, og amerikansk “demokrati”, er loesningen pa alle problemer. Gore Vidal har en interessant og vel underbygget hypotese i The Modern Age om president Wilson som provoserte et tysk angrep slik at et motvillig USA kunne delta i 1. verdenskrig, vinne den og opprette et internasjonalt regime, Folkeforbundet, som instrument.

President Roosevelt ønsket a konkurrere og provoserte japanerne til et Pearl Harbor han visste om, vant krigen og opprettet et FN med den samme hensikt. Wilsons tragedie var at Senatet ikke ratifiserte, Roosevelts at han døde i april og ikke fikk oppleve FNs Dag.

Men Roosevelt fikk fra Joint Chiefs of Staff i 1944 det han ønsket: base-bibelen, JCS 570/2, som anbefaler baser vest og øst for det euro-asiatiske rom. Siden ble de til NATO i vest og AMPO (den japansk-amerikanske sikkerhetspakt med Syd-Korea og Taiwan som de facto medlemmer i øst), og TIAP for the Americas.

Den fatale utvidelsen av NATO østover og AMPO vestover kom i 1996. I Europa ble det ny NATO-debatt om utvidelsen og den nye strategien, offensiv intervensjon overalt under ulike påskudd; i Japan AMPO-debatt omkring samme emner. Denne artikkel er et forsøk på å få debattene i Øst og Vest til å møtes, for Washingtons mål er krystallklart: en knipetang rundt Eurasia.

Hvorfor? Hundreår-gamnmel geopolitisk tankegang om “the world island”, Eurasia, som ogsa er roten til alt ondt (marxisme, maoisme, stats-shinto og japansk militarisme, islamsk fundamentalisme). Av de som var i USAs tjeneste men ogsa hadde sine egne mål (Sawimbi, Aideed, Noriega, Pol Pot, Saddam, bin Laden) er halvparten fra Eurasia. Og angsten for land nr. 2, 3 og 4 hvis man er nr. 1. Det er et hovedtema for internasjonale studier i USA–altså Kina, Russland og India (og EU). Hva gjorde så de?

De handlet raskt, under russisk ledelse. Konflikter ble løst mellom Russland og Kina, russiske vapen i store mengder ble solgt til begge, Irak og Iran hører med i bildet og antallet incidents, spionasje og utvisninger økte kraftig. Kald Krig = rustningsspiral + polarisering. Vi er der allerede.

USA er på en politisk linje hvis dumhet males i Versailles- enheter; og uten diskusjon, unntatt i Moskva-Beijing-New Delhi (med 40% av menneskeheten). Det eneste gode er at Kashmir vel står foran sin løsning, Pakistan er stadig mer skeptisk til USA, og er ogsa i klemmen. Eurasia trues og må stå samlet.

Men det er fortsatt manøverrom for USA. Etter Walker’s Racak-løgn i likhet med kuvøse-løgnen og andre falske vitne-utsagn organisert av reklamebyrået Hill & Knowlton for a utløse Gulf-krigen (norske politikere og puddel-media hopper pa alt sammen) oppnådde USA sitt krigsmål: basen Bondsteel med Sentral- Asia kapasitet 20 km syd for Pristina, og privatisering av Trepca-minene.

Det ville vaere i tråd med dette om de fant påskuddet til invasjon av Afghanistan med en base mellom Herat og den iranske grense. I mellomtiden snakkes det om “Guam- landene” Moldvaia-Ukraina-Azerbaidjan og Uzbekhistan, baser i de to siste (Guam er en kjempe-militaerbase), manoevrer i Kazakhstan.

Hele denne enorme krisen har ett navn. Navnet er USA.

Peace is promoted by constructive proposals and dialogue Four preceding PressInfos have expressed concern over — and criticised — the ongoing, militarisation of the EU. Some will say: but there are no alternatives. We believe that there are always alternatives, that democracies are characterised by alternatives and choice, and that openly discussed alternatives will improve the quality and legitimacy of society’s decision–making. In addition, it is an intellectual and moral challenge to not only criticise but also be constructive. If we only tell people that we think they are wrong, they are not likely to listen. However, if we say: what are your views on this set of ideas and steps? — we may sometimes engage them in dialogue and sow a seed. Most people in power circles live their daily lives in in a time frame and a social space where certain ideas, viewpoints and concepts are just not...

Av FRANK SØHOLM GREVIL 16 augusti 2004  Vi er nu nået til tredje akt i det absurde teaterstykke, der i analogi med de store skueprocesser i Moskva 1936-38 er blevet døbt ‘Grevil-sagen’. Første akt bestod i min anonyme fremlæggelse af egenhændigt nedklassificerede rapporter i Berlingske Tidende i februar og marts. Andet akt udgjordes af min fremtræden med navn og billede i Information i april samt den efterfølgende mediestorm, som uden min direkte medvirken kostede en forsvarsminister taburetten samt en sigtelse for brud på tavshedspligten. Tredje akt bliver en retssag, hvor jeg står tiltalt for at have overtrådt straffelovens bestemmelser om uberettiget videregivelse eller udnyttelse af fortrolige oplysninger. Statsanklageren har ovenikøbet valgt at påberåbe sig særligt skærpende omstændigheder. Da jeg aldrig har modtaget betaling for at stille rapporterne til rådighed eller lade mig interviewe, må det skærpende bestå i, at “videregivelsen eller udnyttelsen er sket under sådanne omstændigheder, at det påfører...

Jan Oberg, TFF director April 28, 2026 In this third TFF Peace Pulse, I make the important distinction between the violence and the conflict that violence is a symptom of. If you want peace, focus on the underlying conflict because that is the key to resolution, peacemaking, and a better future for the parties. The West is obsessed with violence, just look around you – and 90+ per cent of the public debate is about military issues and other violence – totally wasted for peace. These Peace Pulses will only be published here a few times. You will also not find them on YouTube and Vimeo because both platforms have blocked TFF and me; you know, peace is dangerous these days. Most TFF’s videos since 2007 are now on Rumble.

In contrast to most, we’ll bring alternatives, solutions, hope and strategies for a better future. Times are dangerous, yes, but that only intensifies the need for constructive thinking and action! Jan Oberg, TFF director April 13, 2026 The new TFF Peace Pulse uses video messages in a new way: Max 3-5-minute-long comments, ideas or perhaps mini-lectures, all about peace – positive peace. We launch them today on April 13, 2026 with a carefully crafted visual aesthetic fitting the content. We hope to publish them regularly from now on. We launch Peace Pulse (PP) – for a number of reasons. The world is in chaos, and there are countless reasons to feel concerned, frustrated, even angry. The atmosphere is saturated with doom and gloom, with negative energy and rear‑mirror thinking, while vision, imagination, alternatives, strategies and genuine future‑mindedness remain in short supply. And without them, we simply can’t save the world. Looking at problems from a hundred angles will...

PART II — Publishing Peace in a System That Prioritises Militarism Jan Oberg, TFF director April 10, 2026 How TFF Maintains a Daily Voice in a Digital World Built for Noise This article is part of the series “TFF at 40″ and it invites you to learn about Four Decades of Publishing Peace. It takes a look at how a small, people‑financed peace foundation has communicated across four generations of technology — from wax stencils and fax machines to mass email and Substack — and why TFF continues to publish every single day in a system that rewards noise, conflict, and militarism. ◆ What it means to publish peace every single day in a digital system built for 24/7 news and other noise, confrontation, and militarism. How TFF’s independence, continuity, and global readership defy algorithms, donor cycles, and Western media censorhip — and why the Majority World keeps listening. When the...
