A SHORT HISTORY OF THE STRAUSSUI
Thierry Meyssan

Let's stop for a moment to think about this group, the Straussians, about whom the Westerners do not know much. They are individuals, all Jews, but by no means representative of American Jews or Jewish communities around the world. This group was formed by the German philosopher Leo Strauss, who took refuge in the United States during the rise of Nazism and became a professor of philosophy at the University of Chicago. According to many accounts, he formed a small group of faithful students to whom he gave oral instruction. There is no written record of this. He explained that the only way for Jews not to fall victim to a new genocide was to form their own dictatorship. He called them Hoplites (soldiers from Sparta) and sent them to disrupt the courts of his rivals. Finally, he taught her discretion and praised the "noble lie." Although he died in 1973, his fraternity / student group continued in the same direction.

The Straussians began forming a political group half a century ago in 1972.

They were all members of the staff of Democratic Sen. Henry "Scoop" Jackson, including Elliott Abrams, Richard Perle, and Paul Wolfowitz. They worked closely with a group of Trotskyist journalists, also Jewish, who met at City College in New York and edited Commentary. Both groups have been closely linked to the CIA, but also thanks to Perle's father-in-law, Albert Wohlstetter (American military strategist), from Rand Corporation (the think tank of the military-industrial complex). Many of these young people got married ideologically and formed a compact group of about 100 people.

Together, they drafted and adopted the "Jackson-Vanik Amendment" in the midst of the Watergate crisis (1974), which forced the Soviet Union to allow its Jewish population to emigrate to Israel under pressure from economic sanctions. This was their founding act.

In 1976, Paul Wolfowitz was one of the "Team B" architects commissioned by President Gerald Ford to assess the Soviet threat. He issued a delusional report accusing the Soviet Union of preparing to take over "global hegemony." The Cold War changed its nature: there was no question of isolating the USSR, it had to be stopped in order to save the "free world".

Straussians and New York intellectuals, all from the left, put themselves in the service of right-wing President Ronald Reagan. It is important to understand that these groups are not really either left or right. Some members have moved five times from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party and back again. What is important for them is to infiltrate power, regardless of ideology.

Elliott Abrams became Assistant Secretary of State. He led an operation in Guatemala, where he brought a dictator to power and experimented with Israeli Mossad officers on how to create reservations for Mayan Indians to eventually do the same in Israel with Palestinian Arabs (Mayan resistance brought Rigoberta Menchú Nobel Peace Prize).

Elliott Abrams then continued his demands in El Salvador and finally in Nicaragua against the Sandinistas with the Iran-Contra deal. For their part, New York intellectuals, now called "neoconservatives," created the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the American Institute for Peace, a CIA mechanism that staged many colorful revolutions, beginning with China's coup attempt. state of Premier Zhao Ziyang and the subsequent repression in Tiananmen Square.

At the end of George H. Bush's (father's) term, Paul Wolfowitz, then No. 3 in the Department of Defense, drew up a strong idea: After the break-up of the USSR, the United States had to with the European Union. He concluded by calling for unilateral action, namely to put an end to the concerted action of the United Nations. Wolfowitz was undoubtedly the designer of the "Desert Storm", the operation to destroy Iraq that allowed the United States to change the rules of the game and organize a one-sided world. During this period, the Straussians appreciated the concepts of "regime change" and "promotion of democracy".

Gary Schmitt, Abram Shulsky and Paul Wolfowitz joined the US intelligence community through the Information Reform Consortium's Working Group on Information Reform. They criticized the hypothesis that other governments think the same way as the US government. Then they criticized the lack of political leadership in intelligence, letting it get lost in unimportant issues instead of focusing on the essential ones.

The politicization of information is what Wolfowitz had already done with Team B and what he would do again in 2002 with the Office of Special Plans, inventing arguments for new wars against Iraq and Iran (Leo Strauss's "noble lie").

The Straussians were removed from power during Bill Clinton's tenure. Then they went into the Washington think tanks. In 1992, William Kristol and Robert Kagan, Victoria Nuland's husband - Fack Europe, published an article in Foreign Affairs lamenting President Clinton's timid foreign policy and calling for a renewal of "benevolent global hegemony." The following year, they founded the NEW AMERICAN CENTURY PROJECT (PNAC) at the American Enterprise Institute. Gary Schmitt, Abram Shulsky and Paul Wolfowitz were members.

All non-Jewish admirers of Leo Strauss, including the Protestant Francis Fukuyama (author of The End of History), joined them immediately.

In 1994, Richard Perle (aka the Prince of Darkness), now an arms dealer, became an adviser to President and former Nazi Alija Izetbegović in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was the one who brought Osama Bin Laden and his Arab legion (the forerunner of Al Qaeda) from Afghanistan to defend the country. Perle was even a member of the Bosnian delegation at the signing of the Dayton Accords in Paris.

In 1996, PNAC members, including Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, and David Wurmser, wrote a study at the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies (IASPS) for the new Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. This report supports the removal of Yasser Arafat, the annexation of the Palestinian territories, a war against Iraq and the transfer of Palestinians there.

The plan was inspired not only by the political theories of Leo Strauss, but also by those of his friend, ZE'EV JABOTINSKY, the founder of "revisionist Zionism," whose private secretary was Netanyahu's father.

The PNAC raised funds for the candidacy of George W. Bush (son) and published before his election the famous report "Rebuilding America's Defense." He called for a similar Pearl Harbor catastrophe to plunge the American people into a war for global hegemony. These are exactly the words that PNAC Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld used on September 11, 2001.

Due to the 9/11 attacks, Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz installed Admiral Arthur Cebrowski in the shadow of Donald Rumsfeld.

He played a role comparable to that of Albert Wohlstetter during the Cold War. He imposed the strategy of "endless war": the US military should no longer win wars, but should start many of them and keep them as long as possible. The aim would be to destroy all the political structures of the states concerned in order to ruin these populations and deprive them of any means of defending themselves against the United States; a strategy that has been implemented for twenty years in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen...

The alliance between the Straussians and the revisionist Zionists was sealed at a major conference in Jerusalem in 2003, in which Israeli political figures on all sides unfortunately thought they should attend. It is therefore not surprising that Victoria Nuland, the wife of Robert Kagan, then a NATO ambassador, intervened to declare a ceasefire in Lebanon in 2006, allowing the defeated Israeli army not to be pursued by Hezbollah.

The Prime Minister's Office
Some individuals, such as Bernard Lewis, worked with all three groups, the Straussians, the neoconservatives and the revisionist Zionists. A former British intelligence officer, he acquired both American and Israeli citizenship, was an adviser to Benjamin Netanyahu and a member of the US National Security Council. Lewis, who halfway through his career claimed that Islam was incompatible with terrorism and that Arab terrorists were in fact Soviet agents, later changed his mind and confidently asserted that religion preached terrorism.

Bernard Lewis invented the "clash of civilizations" strategy for the US National Security Council. The idea was to use cultural differences to mobilize Muslims against the Orthodox, a concept that was popularized by his Synod assistant to Samuel Huntington, except that Huntington did not present it as a strategy, but as an inevitable one. countered. Huntington began his career as an adviser to the South African secret services during the separate era, and later wrote a book, "The Soldier and the State," understanding the needs of national security.

After the destruction of Iraq, the Straussians were the subject of all sorts of controversy. Everyone is surprised that such a small group, supported by neoconservative journalists, has been able to gain such authority without being the subject of public debate. The US Congress has appointed an Iraqi study group (the so-called "Baker-Hamilton Commission") to evaluate its policy. He condemned, without naming it, the Rumsfeld / Cebrowski strategy and lamented the hundreds of thousands of deaths it caused. Rumsfeld resigned, and the Pentagon has relentlessly pursued this strategy without ever officially adopting it.

Under the Obama administration, the Straussians found their way into the office of Vice President Joe Biden. His national security adviser, Jacob Sullivan, played a key role in organizing operations against Libya, Syria and Myanmar, while another of his advisers, Antony Blinken, focused on Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. He was the one who led the negotiations with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, which led to the arrest and imprisonment of key members of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's team in exchange for the nuclear deal.

The change of regime in Kyiv in 2014 was organized by the Straussians. Vice-President Biden is strongly committed to this. Victoria Nuland came to support the neo-Nazi elements of the Right Sector and to oversee the Israeli command "Delta" [1] in Maidan Square. A telephone interception reveals her desire to "the European Union" (sic) in the tradition of the 1992 Wolfowitz report. But EU leaders do not understand and protest only weakly.

"Jake" Sullivan and Antony Blinken have placed Vice President Biden's son Hunter on the board of one of Ukraine's largest gas companies, Burisma Holdings, despite opposition from Secretary of State John Kerry. Hunter Biden is, unfortunately, just a drug addict, he would serve as a screen for a giant scam to the detriment of the Ukrainian people. He would appoint, under the supervision of Amos Hochstein, some of his drug-addicted friends to become front-runners at the helm of various companies and to plunder Ukrainian gas. These are the people whom President Vladimir Putin called a "drug clique."

Sullivan and Blinken relied on mobster godfather Ihor Kolomoysky, who owns the country's third-largest fortune. Although a Jew, he financed the heavyweights of the right-wing sector, a neo-Nazi organization working for NATO, and fought in Maidan Square during the "regime change." Kolomoïsky took advantage of his ties to seize power in the European Jewish community, but his co-religious rebelled and removed him from international associations.

However, he managed to support the head of the right-wing sector, Dmytro Yarosh, who was appointed deputy secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine and was appointed governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region. Both men should be removed quickly from any political office. Their group was what President Vladimir Putin called a "neo-Nazi clique."

In 2017, Antony Blinken founded WestExec Advisors, a consulting firm that brought together former senior Obama administration officials and many Straussians. The company's business is extremely low-key. He uses the political connections of his employees to make money; which elsewhere would be called corruption.

Joe Biden is not a Straussian, but he has been doing business with them for about fifteen years.

THE STRAUSIANS CONTINUE TO BE THE SAME AS ALWAYS
Since Joe Biden returned to the White House, this time as President of the United States, the Straussians have taken over. "Jake" Sullivan is a national security adviser, while Antony Blinken is secretary of state with Victoria Nuland with him. As we reported in previous articles, she went to Moscow in October 2021 and threatens to crush the Russian economy if it does not comply with US requirements, in fact Straussian requirements.

This marked the beginning of the current crisis.

Undersecretary of State Nuland resurrected Dmitro Yarosh and imposed him on President Zelinsky, a television actor protected by Ihor Kolomoysky. On November 2, 2021, he was appointed special adviser to the army chief, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi. The latter, a true Democrat, rebelled at first and eventually accepted. Asked by the press about this amazing duo, he refused to answer and mentioned a national security issue. Yarosh offered his full support to the "white führer", Colonel Andrey Biletsky and his Azov battalion. This copy of the SS Das Reich division has been hired since the summer of 2021 by American mercenaries at Blackwater.

After identifying the Straussians, we must admit that Russia's ambition to get them out of Ukraine is understandable, even desirable. To rid the world of the Straussians would be to do justice to the millions of deaths they have caused and to save those they are about to kill. It remains to be seen whether this intervention in Ukraine will be successful

In any case, if the responsibility for the current events lies with the Straussians, all those who let them act without hesitation also have a responsibility. Since Germany and France, which signed the Minsk Agreements seven years ago and have done nothing to ensure that they have been implemented.

And then with the fifty states that signed the OSCE declarations banning the extension of NATO east of the Oder-Neisse line and did nothing.

This is one of the lessons of this crisis: democratically governed peoples are responsible for decisions taken for a long time by their leaders and maintained after alternations in power.
