JEFF NYQUIST RADIO SHOWPaul Williams Interviewon WIBG 1020 AMTue, 3 June 2008 23:00:00 GMTOn Sunday, June 7 at 6 PM Eastern, 3 PM Pacific, Jeff Nyquist interviews Paul L. Williams, a former FBI consultant specializing in organized crime and terrorism who is now an award-winning investigative journalist and author of The Al Qaeda Connection. Mr. Williams discusses the threat of Al Qaeda and the alarming degree to which America still remains vulnerable to attack. REVOLUTIONARY MINDSETTriggering Global Revolutionby Jeff NyquistFri, 6 June 2008 15:00:00 GMT"The theory of Communism," wrote Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, "may be summed in one sentence: Abolish all private property." When the Communists took over Russia in 1917 they attempted to practice Marx and Engel's theory. By the spring of 1918 the Russian economy had reached a state of collapse and civil war broke out. Vladimir Lenin later admitted his mistake. He didn't know how to build a Communist economy, so the Soviet regime retreated into "state capitalism." The theory of Communism, plain and simple, signified economic collapse. NEWS FROM CZECH REPUBLICSoldiers Who Beat Up Young Australian-Czech Man Still in Armyby Radek GalisFri, 6 June 2008 23:00:00 GMTSouth Bohemian criminologists investigate a group of three professional soldiers of the Tabor based Brigade accused of several crimes. The accused are nevertheless still left at liberty. On the night of 25th-26th April three servicemen from a mechanized battallion of the Brigade of Fast Deployment Forces brutally bashed and cut a young man. Furthemore, they kidnapped him and under death threats they forced him to confess he was a drug and firearms dealer. "Three accused men joined a private party in a Drazice restaurant near Tabor to which they were not invited though," said the spokesperson for South Bohemian Police CR, Jana Kamenikova. ECONOMIC CRISESThe Oil Problem 2by Jeff NyquistFri, 30 May 2008 15:00:00 GMTAccording to Thursday's Wall Street Journal,"petroleum products shipped by the world's top oil exporters fell 2.5 percent last year, despite a 57 percent increase in prices'" We are told, further, that leading petroleum producers are using more oil for themselves. And yet, at least one expert believes there is a coordinated campaign of supply strangulation underway. Quite obviously, if you're choking off the oil supply of the world's most powerful country you might be afraid to admit what you're up to. ECONOMIC CRISESThe Oil Problem 1by Jeff NyquistFri, 23 May 2008 15:00:00 GMTThe price of oil has risen to over $130 per barrel. What is the cause of this rise? In the latest forecasting survey of the Wall Street Journal, we read that a majority of economists attribute rising food and oil prices to "fundamental market conditions." It's not an investment bubble. It would seem that demand is rising faster than the supply. Question: Is the Organization of Petroleum Exporting countries (OPEC) effectively limiting production? If this is true, then anger over U.S. policy in Iraq has far ranging consequences. When President Bush recently visited Saudi Arabia the Saudis refused to expand their oil production. Were they unhappy with the American president? Were they attempting to persuade him, or dissuade him, on a particular issue? THE IRANIAN THREATA Dangerous Passageby Jeff NyquistFri, 16 May 2008 15:00:00 GMTStatesmen in the West are concerned that Iran is attempting to develop nuclear weapons. Iran officially denies any such attempt. "We are developing peaceful nuclear power," they declare. As if to fuel fears and suspicions abroad, the Iranians refuse the kind of oversight that would ensure their program is peaceful. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice wonders why the Iranians insist on enriching uranium on their own terms. Why would an oil rich country risk confrontation with the United States to develop a few nuclear power plants it doesn't need? BOOK REVIEWBuchanan's Day of Reckoning, Part 4by Jeff NyquistFri, 9 May 2008 15:00:00 GMTThe problem with Steele's scholarly rebuke of Western whites is, first and foremost, the suggestion that their racial identity is uniquely evil. This is because, as he says, white Europeans joined "great power to an atavistic sense of superiority and destiny." But does Steele allow that other races, attaining the same global power and sense of destiny, may also prove dangerous? Here is his error, and the racism of his anti-racist position. If we're going to say that all races are equal, then all are equally susceptible to the temptations of power and the delusions of destiny. BOOK REVIEWBuchanan's Day of Reckoning, Part 3by Jeff NyquistFri, 2 May 2008 15:00:00 GMTIn the first installment of this series, I mentioned Daniel McCarthy's ideology selector which rated me as a paleoconservative. According to McCarthy, a paleoconservative is someone "who wants less involvement in foreign affairs than other conservatives and opposes mass immigration." On close examination, Patrick Buchanan's ideas agree with McCarthy's definition. To my way of thinking, however, McCarthy's definition misses the mark. BOOK REVIEWBuchanan's Day of Reckoning, Part 2by Jeff NyquistFri, 25 April 2008 15:00:00 GMTThe key to understanding Patrick Buchanan's message is found in his patriotism, which differs from that of President Bush. Buchanan's argument is simple: the nation's leaders have embraced ideals at variance with American national interests. According to Buchanan, patriotism has been overtaken by ideology which has led us astray. In fact, the current administration's foreign policy derives more from ideology than it does from patriotism. BOOK REVIEWBuchanan's Day of Reckoning, Part 1by Jeff NyquistFri, 18 April 2008 15:00:00 GMTIn the French Revolution Louis XVI became hated, so he was guillotined. Then the man most credited with the monarch's downfall, Danton, became hated; so Danton was guillotined at the instigation of Robespierre who was also hated and guillotined. In the end, the promise of freedom brought forth the reality of Bonaparte, who killed even more people. When the French Revolution began, at its outset, one man accurately predicted how it would end. That man was Edmund Burke, considered by some to be the founding father of "conservatism" (i.e., a type of liberalism). He argued against the elimination of rank order. He argued in favor of chivalry and nobility. He defended all "the pleasing illusions, which made power gentle, and obedience liberal, which harmonized the different shades of life, and which, by bland assimilation, incorporated into politics the sentiments which beautify and soften private society." MOVIE REVIEWFilming the Great Deceptionby Jeff NyquistFri, 14 Sep 2007 15:00:00 GMTCinematographer Robert Buchar is attempting to put together a documentary feature film about the end of the Cold War and the collapse of Communism in Europe. Its working title is "The Grand Deception — Uncertain History." Based on interviews with former Communist Bloc intelligence officers, CIA officials and scholars, the documentary shows that Communism did not collapse spontaneously. The directive for change came from Moscow. "People power" had nothing to do with it. According to Buchar, "For the last three years I couldn't find any media interested in this topic." Pundits and news anchors told us, again and again, that the revolutions in Eastern Europe were caused by popular discontent. According to conservative partisans, the Soviet Union fell because Ronald Reagan pushed it over. Not so, says Buchar: "The version of events presented to the public is very different from what actually happened." STATE OF ECONOMYThe Perfect Oil Stormby Gordon FrischWed, 09 May 2007 23:00:00 GMTIn the face of rising oil prices the world’s largest oil consumer and its biggest economy, is whistling past the economic graveyard. Although latest figures indicate the US economy is growing at a brisk rate, the sheer weight of financial and economic realities can no longer be ignored. The OPEC pipers must be paid. COMMENTARYWhy Nobody Bombs Downtown Pyongyangby Andrei NavrozovWed, 09 May 2007 21:00:00 GMTThe geopolitical history of the last century, in the course of which totalitarianism emerged, developed, and evolved to become the ineluctable lot of mankind that it is today, may be encapsulated in three short sentences. One: Stalin created Hitler. Two: Stalin sicked Hitler on the West. Three: Stalin got the West to become his ally in order to defeat Hitler. TOURING AMERICA 6Yellowstone National Parkby Greg NyquistThu, 6 Dec 2007 23:00:00 GMTThere may exist, somewhere in the world, a more stunning individual mountain or peak, as there may exist more stunning mountain scenery, but there is no single mountain range that can equal, let alone surpass, the magnificence of the Teton Range.This chain of lofty granite clad peaks rises nearly 7,000 feet from the surrounding plains on the east side of the range, providing a jagged grayish-purple backdrop against the western horizon of awe-inspiring dimensions.The highest peak in the rage, Grand Teton, its summit reaching the lofty elevation of 13,770 feet in elevation, ascends into the heavens like an immense spire or obelisk. TOURING AMERICA 5Grand Teton National Parkby Greg NyquistTue, 8 Oct 2007 23:00:00 GMTThere may exist, somewhere in the world, a more stunning individual mountain or peak, as there may exist more stunning mountain scenery, but there is no single mountain range that can equal, let alone surpass, the magnificence of the Teton Range.This chain of lofty granite clad peaks rises nearly 7,000 feet from the surrounding plains on the east side of the range, providing a jagged grayish-purple backdrop against the western horizon of awe-inspiring dimensions.The highest peak in the rage, Grand Teton, its summit reaching the lofty elevation of 13,770 feet in elevation, ascends into the heavens like an immense spire or obelisk. TOURING AMERICA 4Idahoby Greg NyquistTue, 11 Sep 2007 23:00:00 GMTAlthough rather hot in the summer and cold in the winter, Idaho can nonetheless be described, in terms of the look of the place, as, in the main, a rather lukewarm state, neither especially beautiful nor especially ugly, but somewhere in between; pleasant, though hardly awe-inspiring. Oh, to be sure, in this corner or that, the landscape may veer off into the striking. Those mountain ranges in the middle of the state, the Sawtooth Range and what not, are rumored to have their share of the picturesque. TOURING AMERICA 3Nevadaby Greg NyquistSun, 26 Aug 2007 20:00:00 GMTFor most people heading east out of central or northern California, Reno becomes the inevitable portal through which they must pass. Not a bad city, as cities go, is Reno; not particularly a great city, either: more of a middling metropolis, to tell the truth about it. As Nevada's second largest city, Reno enjoys some distinction as a casino-orientated tourist trap. Between Second and Sixth streets in the downtown area there are ten casinos featuring some 4,000 rooms. For the yokels of northern California, Oregon, Idaho, and northern Nevada, Reno makes sense as the place to go to gamble away one's earnings. What other compelling reason could possibly exist to come to Reno, unless as a stopover on the way to someplace else, I couldn't say. TOURING AMERICA 2Northeastern Californiaby Greg NyquistFri, 17 Aug 2007 20:00:00 GMTThe southern Cascades have a trick of sneaking up on you. The terrain gradually and unobtrusively sneaks up toward them. You hardly notice the rise in elevation. One moment, you are passing miles of grassland; the next moment, you find yourself ensconced in an immense forest. TOURING AMERICA 1Northwestern Californiaby Greg NyquistSun, 5 Aug 2007 17:30:00 GMTA tour of the Northwest America's most splendid National Parks provides an opportunity to get a glimpse of some of the less travelled areas of the country, and take stock at what they may happen to suggest to the passing tourist. In a series of articles, Greg Nyquist provides a series of random, impressionistic observations of what is to be found in the northwestern portion of the lower 48, beginning along California's northcoast. THE RUSSIAN MENACEOffice Politicsby Jeff NyquistFri, 13 Jul 2007 23:00:00 GMTIt is 1999. You work in an office. It is the office of Russia's FSB (KGB). Your co-workers share a special comradeship, and a special history. Some of the agency's top bosses are linked to organized crime, kidnapping and murder. The kidnappings are a means for siphoning money from Westerners in order to finance Russian-speaking Arab terrorists in Chechnya. The kidnappings are also used to keep certain political players in line. The murders have to do with maintaining the position of hidden structures that supersede the Russian legislature, the national executive and the armed forces. There is nothing unusual in this, because conspiracy is a matter of FSB tradition. Back in 1917, when the organization was first formed, it was called the Cheka, deriving its name from the acronym VChK (Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counterrevolution and Sabotage). The Cheka was founded by a communist ideologue named Felix Dzerzinsky shortly after the Bolshevik coup of Lenin and Trotsky. In those days, the office had two assignments: (1) to investigate counterrevolutionary elements, (2) to liquidate counterrevolutionaries and saboteurs. In 1917 this mission was out in the open. In 1999 this mission was hidden behind a democratic government headed by an ailing alcoholic named Boris Yeltsin. |
