The Brandt Commission’s New ‘Geo-Economic Order’
by David Goldman
A commission under Willy Brandt’s chairmanship and Robert McNamara’s control has just come out with its report proposing a “new world order” in which competing currency blocs index their transactions to inflated commodity and raw materials prices, and that all commodity-backed Third World debts then be paid back under the supervision of a “World Development Agency.” Dubbed a “new geoeconomic order” by its proponents, those with an eye for historial parallels prefer the phrase, “Pax Britannica.”

How To Stop the Muslim Brotherhood
More than 25 years ago, a British strategist outlined a plan for an Islamic revival that would sweep the Middle East and spread into the Central Asian Republics of the Soviet Union-thus toppling the “Soviet Empire.” Today, the activities of the British intelligence arm called the Muslim Brotherhood, in Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, have proceeded according to the same plan.

Afghanistan: Is It the New Sarajevo?
by Daniel Sneider
The Soviet Union has plunged militarily into Afghanistan to mop up “Islamic rebels” threatening the friendliness of a nation on its very borders. But the Soviet command has deployed a troop-strength far in excess of the requirements of that task: a signal, a decisive show of force, has been directed at U.S. ally China, concerning what they may expect from the U.S.S.R. in the event of a new Chinese invasion of Vietnam. And now, the world depends on how well, or how badly, the United States “reads” the Soviet signal.

The Aspen Institute’s ‘Fix’ of the 1980 U.S. Election
by Kathy Burdman
An arm of British intelligence which conducts brainwashing “executive seminars” and assorted “humanistic studies” in Colorado has won the collaboration of major U.S. news media in a carefully planned project to control who is elected President of the United States, by controlling who gets access to the electorate through the mass media. It’s not only scandalous, but given who’s involved, it’s treason.
