In the footage of that incident, Brzezinski can be seen helicoptering to a spot in the Khyber Pass on the Afghanistan border to address the Islamic fighters taking up arms against the Soviets.
Assuring the assembled "freedom fighters" that their struggle will succeed, he raises a finger in the air in the direction of Afghanistan, proclaiming:
This was, as we now know, pure manipulative hogwash...
Uncle Sam couldn't have cared less about the fate of these fighters. The US government didn't believe in their God and it didn't care if they had their homes and their mosques back again.
In fact, as Brzezinski himself has since admitted, the Soviet invasion had, in a sense, been a Western operation, the successful culmination of a covert US plan to lure the USSR into Afghanistan and slowly bleed the Red Army in a years-long proxy war.
In the infamous 1998 interview where Brzezinski confirmed this hidden truth, he was asked whether he regretted his role in fostering the rise of the Taliban and Al CIAda.
These are not the words of a pious believer in the righteous struggle of Islamic freedom fighters.
They are not even the words of an earnest Cold Warrior, blindly supporting anyone who could strike at his Soviet enemy.
They are the words of the man who literally wrote the book on The Grand Chessboard - the words of a self-proclaimed geopolitical grandmaster who coolly calculates several moves ahead as he manipulates his pawns on the grand chessboard as part of a grand strategy to checkmate his opponent.
Last week I revealed how the would-be rulers of the world see the grand struggle for geopolitical dominance as,
This week I will examine the growing political awareness of the pawns in the grand chess game and show what it looks like when they strike back against their masters.
Global Political Awakening
In December of 2008, The International Herald Tribune published an op-ed on an important new sociopolitical phenomenon: "The Global Political Awakening."
Now, if this were an op-ed by your average, run-of-the-mill political commentator, the prospect of a "global political awakening" would no doubt be celebrated as a hopeful development.
Said commentator would then deftly transition into a pitch for how such an awakening could afford an exciting opportunity for the West to help human rights activists in Countries X, Y and/or Z overthrow their oppressive governments... with Countries X, Y and Z being prime targets on the US State Department's regime change wishlist, naturally.
But this op-ed was not penned by your average political hack.
No, it was authored by Zbigniew Brzezinski, the same arch-globalist insider (and arch-conspiracy theorist) who helped fund the mujahedeen in the 1980s.
For this grand chessboard grandmaster, the global political awakening is no cause for celebration.
Rather, as he explained in a subsequent interview on the subject, it poses a threat to America's global dominance and a challenge to all the 'kings' on the global chessboard.
Now, here's the surprising thing:
And, if the last several years of political history has taught us anything, it is that much of humanity is feeling a lack of respect from the well-to-do.
This feeling has manifested in a worldwide populist movement that threatens to derail the globalist New World Order agenda, a point conceded by elitist institutions like the Bilderberg Group and the World Economic Forum, which have openly fretted about this rising populist movement in recent years.
In fact, Brzezinski's "global political awakening" is not only as accurate a description of the global geopolitical situation today as it was when he first made it a decade and a half ago, it is - if anything - even truer today than it was in the bygone era of Hope and Change Obama.
Naturally, this awakening is informed by different issues in different countries and takes different forms in different corners of the globe, but there's no doubt that the global political awakening is accelerating and people are reaching a breaking point.
Just take a look at France...
Or take Israel, where Prime Minister Netanyahu is under the greatest pressure of his political career for trying to shove through a deeply unpopular judicial reform that would weaken the power of the country's Supreme Court.
Or witness the turmoil in Africa,
Then there's the wave of farmer protests that, as I documented in a series of articles last summer,
Heck, you know there's a global political awakening underway when Canada, of all places, becomes the site of a dramatic freedom convoy and an equally dramatic declaration of emergency powers by Trudeau's increasingly embattled government.
Yes, Brzezinski was quite right when,
The real question, of course, is what such an awakening means for our future.
It is easy to see how the prospect of an increasingly politically engaged public (let alone an increasingly agitated one) is detrimental to the aims of geopolitical strategists like Brzezinski.
After all, to the Brzezinskis of the world,
Or, in Kissinger's infamous formulation,
When the pawns begin to fight back, however, the chess game comes to a screeching halt.
One can just picture the war hawks observing this mass awakening and fretting over their carefully crafted grand chessboard stratagems.
Unfortunately for us, Brzezinski and his ilk not only saw the development of this global political awakening, they also envisioned a way to contain it.
And, even more unfortunately for us, the elitists' plan for putting a lid on this populist awakening does not end well for us "pawns"...
Counter-Revolution
If the sight of these protest movements sweeping the globe seems familiar to you, that's because it is.
As you'll recall, I wrote an article in November 2019 about the political turmoil then engulfing nations around the world, from Bolivia to Chile to France to Hong Kong to Iraq.
"Your Guide to a World on Fire" documented how the global political awakening seemed to be coming to a head and mused on whether the fiery uprisings signaled that,
Of course, as we now know, that optimism was premature.
The globalists always have tricks up their sleeve to fend off their demise.
In this case, they chose to pull the scamdemic card and we all saw the immediate result:
That the grandmasters of the global chessboard would unleash one of the largest psy-ops ever perpetrated on humanity for the purpose of containing the global political awakening should not be surprising.
Actually,
You see, Brzezinski's op-ed about the global political awakening was not written for the global press.
For those not in the know, Chatham House is the headquarters of the Royal Institute for International Affairs (RIIA), the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) sister organization in London.
The speech from which Brzezinski's global awakening observation derives - titled "Major Foreign Policy Challenges for The New US Presidency" and delivered on November 17, 2008 - was, like most of the RIIA's proceedings, not intended for the general public.
However, a recording of the speech was later leaked online. What it reveals about the globalists' thinking on the matter of a people's uprising is downright bone-chilling.
The lecture began innocuously enough, with Brzezinski mouthing the usual, trite foreign policy clichés about how American leadership,
...and warning that Obama's incoming administration faces challenges from a number of global crises.
So far, so boring...
But then he transitions into the main theme of his talk:
And then, just in case his audience missed it, he reiterated the point:
This blood-curdling pronouncement is delivered, as with most of Brzezinski's pronouncements, in a detached way, as if he were reporting on the weather in New Delhi or the results of last night's baseball game.
After all, he's simply pointing out a self-evident truth about the way power operates in our society and the lengths to which the psychopaths leading the kakistocracy must be willing to go in order to maintain their power.
As the global political awakening starts to take shape and the masses can no longer be placated with QAnonsense or kept in their homes by scamdemic psyops, then the rulers of the grand chessboard always have the final option:
Whether that mass murder takes the form of a WWIII or the release of an actual bioweapon or some other method entirely is of little consequence.
What matters is that if and when there is a true threat to the rule of the powers-that-shouldn't-be, they will take Brzezinski's dictum to heart:
Ending the Game
It is easy to see why geopolitical strategists find the grand chessboard analogy so appealing.
It accurately embodies their vision of the globe as a space to be dominated by one team or another and it provides them with useful stratagems for achieving their geopolitical goals.
They can employ.
Perhaps most important of all,
Only these gifted grandmasters understand this intricate game of geopolitics in all its multivariate complexity, after all, and only they are capable of crafting strategies for winning that game.
But in examining the war hawks' moves on the global chessboard, we run the risk of forgetting that this is only a metaphor.
If the globe really is a grand chessboard and we really are engaged in a struggle for dominance over it, then we're compelled to adopt that mindset ourselves and come up with a strategy for winning the game.
But to begin thinking in those terms, is to fall into a trap.
We find ourselves playing the geopolitical game on the grandmasters' own terms...!
The political game is rigged.
Even more to the point,
Brzezinski merely stated what many authoritarians already realize:
It follows that these autocrats will not hesitate to unleash the apocalypse if they ever feel genuinely threatened by a mass uprising.
Given that the very forces we oppose are the ones sitting on the nuclear stockpiles and the bioweapons labs and the increasingly automated armed forces, and given that they have spent decades building up the machinery of technological tyranny under the "homeland security" paradigm in case of just such an uprising,
Even if the BRICS team were fundamentally different from the NATO team (it isn't), we'd still be no more than pawns on the board.
No, none of these strategies suffice.
The only winning move in this game is the least popular one of all:
It is a world filled with people who can choose at any time,
...without the need for any globalist power structure.
Society does not require a top-down order imposed by an authoritarian elitist class who, by virtue of some magical political ritual, is able to impose its will on others without their consent.
Rather, a thriving society requires the spontaneous order that develops when everyone is free to form voluntary relations based on mutual consent.
We are not pawns on a chessboard to be used in a struggle for political dominance, and we do not need to win any grand chess game in order to take control of our lives.
We are human beings finding ways to live with other human beings on a fertile, living planet.
We do not need to take over the chessboard.
Instead, we need to withdraw our participation from this "game" entirely. The would-be grandmasters can't play their game if we won't be their pawns.
The grand game of global geopolitical chess, it turns out, is a funny game.
The only winning move is not to play...
