AUGUST 1979 wGtirta Page 3 TURANIAN REVOLUTION — ISLAMIC BOMB — AND KADDAFI The worst insult you can give today in Afghanistan is to call someone the son of a Roos (Russian). Since last year’s communist takeover, there are at least 3000 Soviet military advisers in Afghanistan who are there to keep the regime in power against the will of the people. Afghanistan, which has some of the wildest country in the world, provides an excellent terrain for the Muslim tribesmen, who are waging a fierce rebellion against the Soviet backed regime. The rebel leader Guibuddin Hikmatyar said the farangis (foreigners) never learn. They still keep trying to conquer us. This time it is the Russians and soon they will learn the lesson we teach anyone who tries to own us. The Russians are facing a serious dilemma. Afghanistan has a 1000 miles long border with the Soviet Union, opposite its populous Muslim provinces. If Hikmatyar succeeds in overthrowing the Soviet backed regime, it is inevitable that Afghanistan will form an Islamic government and join in alliance with Iran and Pakistan. Moscow already denounced Pakistan for helping Hikmatyar’s guerillas. The fact that now Pakistan is capable to produce an atomic bomb adds to the Soviet problems. The Islamic Bomb is the most disturbing fact that worries the Soviets. It may give encouragement to the large Muslim population of the Soviet Union to rise up against the Slavic hegemonism. Any large scale confrontation with the Muslim world will not only solidify their unity, but will draw in all the 130 million non-Russian population of the Soviet Union and perhaps a 100 million Eastern Europeans who are waiting for such an opportunity. This event would lead to the inevitable total disintegration of the Soviet Empire. The situation became so serious that CBS network has devoted extensive coverage on the Islamic Bomb. Washington fears that in the event the Soviet Empire falls, all US influence on the Asian continent will come to an end. The Soviets have been a reliable ally of the US in the past and the rise of the Altaic or Turanian people would not be in conformity with the US foreign policy. Oil and the Palestinian question complicates the issue even more. Iran has already reduced its oil production by 2 million barrels a day and Libya, the third largest supplier of crude oil to the US, is threatening to act likewise. Kaddafi, the 37 year old Libyan leader has warned the US that time is running out, unless the US lifts its boycott against his country. Kaddafi theoretically is dedicated to fight imperialism and wants nonalignement with superpowers, yet depends on armament purchases from the Soviet Union. Kaddafi’s friendly ties with the Soviet Union are in contradiction with his immense financial support, which he gave to Pakistan to develop nuclear weapons. This is a dilemma for the Anglo Saxon-Slav imperialism, a real test for the US-Soviet world domination. Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan are predominantly Turanian people and very anti-Soviet. The Semitic Arab nations of the Middle East are anti-US as a result of the KILOMETERS 2000 STATUTE MILES Muslims 90-100 percent 1 I 50-89 percent I -il 10-49 percent Surinam (South America) — 20 percent of population Palestinian question. The interdependance of the Turanians and Arabs, their common Islamic religion has resulted in the ongoing process to drift away from the influence of both superpowers. The central theme of the US-Soviet foreign policy is to divide should realize that he must help to create a cohesive Turanian-Arab alliance under an Islamic banner to stand up against the two superpowers, and get away with it, too! Is Kaddafi aware, that the Turanian people of: Finnland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakisdestructive than wars in this day and age and the superpowers are more vulnerable to it. Why not a holy revolution against imperialism? There are 130 million Turanians inside the Soviet Empire waiting for such an opportunity. Litvanians, Latvians, Estonians, Kirgiz, Tadzhik, Turk-Kaddafi: ‘Keep your technology and your evils. We’ll keep our oil. ’ men, Uzbek, Kazakh,and a long list of others, who are all facing the same problem as the Palestinians; domination by imperialism. As long as the Arab nations are fighting an isolated The Russians will soon learn the lesson we teach anyone who tries to own us' and rule the entire area. The US has succeded to split off Egypt from the Arab camp but lost Iran, while the Soviets were able to bring to power a very unstable communist regime in Afghanistan. The struggle continues against the two superpowers and the outcome is uncertain. Kaddafi tan, Korea, Japan, at home and those in exile despise the superpower hegemonism and are a viable force for alliance? Does Kaddafi know, that if the Soviet Empire falls apart the US influence in Asia and Africa will come to an end? Revolutions are cheaper and less war in a relatively small geographical area, the superpower hegemonism will continue. Shutting off oil will only give an excuse for armed intervention by the superpowers and result in their direct control of the world’s most vital energy source. Louis F. Molnár Jhe “ Soviet openness” on the Vienna Summit is “cheered” by the West and East-European Soviet allies as something new in Soviet political practical practices and is treated as something positive in Soviet attitude. When U.S. president James Carter embarked on his trip to Vienna for the Summit on June 15-18 with Soviet Prime Minister Leonid Brezhnev all kinds of Eastern and Western political fingers were crossed: will the two leaders of the two super powers of the world come to some kind of understanding, will they make encouraging steps toward “World Peace” by singing the Salt II Treaty? Various heads of states like West Germany’s Chancellor Helmut Schmidt were quoted as saying and hoping that Salt II, which limits the production of nuclear weapons launchers will be ratified “quickly.” (CBS Face the Nation TV interview June 10, 1979.) “Failure of SALT II could very well lead back to the Cold Salt II and the generous Soviets By Paposi-Jobb War and back to the fierce arms race,” declared Schmidt. What arms race? What cold war? What should be ratified quickly? What will be controlled? All these really do not matter. These are not the issues and never were the real issues. When Leonid Brezhnev toasted the American president at the end of his speech he also toasted “all of his American partners” who make good relations and cooperation between the USSR and the US a “permanent factor in international life” ...he said it all! And he also warned that the U.S. Congress should not try to “backpedal” by not ratifying the SALT II Treaty. What will the Soviets do in return for SALT II? How will they pay back for all the strategic gains that SALT II will give them? The American military chiefs are worried and they openly speak about it but their hands are tied by the U.S. civilian government leadership. When four-star General David C. Jones testified to the Senate Investigation Committee on SALT II, in June and July of this year stated that the U.S. must be able to continue to compete with the USSR because as it is they are steadily gaining militarily. General Jones, who is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (composed of 5 generals) testified that the SALT II Treaty which Carter and Brezhnev signed is acceptable only if the warning and advice of the Chiefs of Staff will be (Continued, on page 6)
