Geopolitics and secret forces of history 

The patterns of “conspiracy” are extremely miscellaneous. In this sphere the greatest popularity indoubtedly goes to the concept of the “Judaic-Masonic” conspiracy, so spread today in the most different circles. Basically, this theory deserves the most severe study, and we should recognize that we have no complete and serious scientific analysis of this theme, despite of hundreds and thousand works both “exposing” this conspiracy, and “substantiating” its non-existence. But in the present work we shall prove a completely diverse conspirologic pattern, based on a system of coordinates distinct from the “Judaic-Masonic” versions. We shall try in general to describe the planetary “conspiracy” of two opposite “occult” forces, whose secret opposition and the invisible fight predetermined the logics of world history. These forces, in our opinion, are first of all characterized neither by national specificity nor by belonging to a secret organization of Masonic or para-Masonic kind, but because of a radical divergence in their geopolitical attitudes. As to the explanation of the final “secret” of these opposing forces, we are inclined to see it in the difference between two alternative and mutually excluding geopolitical projects, which stand aside of national, political, ideological and religious differences, people of the most contradictory opinions and beliefs uniting into one single group. Our conspirologic pattern is the pattern of “geopolitical conspiracy”.

           
The bases of geopolitics 

          Let's remind the basic postulates of geopolitics - a science which was earlier called also as “political geography” and whose elaboration must be basically attributed to the english scientist and political expert Halford Mackinder (1861-1947). The term “geopolitics” was for the first time introduced by the swedish Rudolf Kjellen (1864-1922) and then entered into the reference in Germany by Karl Haushofer (1869-1946). But anyway, the father of geopolitics remains Mackinder, whose fundamental pattern stood at the bases of all subsequent geopolitical studies. A merit of Mackinder is that he managed to outline and to comprehend the definite objective laws of political, geographical and economic history of mankind. If the term “geopolitics” appeared rather recently, the realities designated by these terms have a pluri-millennial history. The substance of the geopolitical doctrine can be summarized in the following principles.  In  planetary history there are two opposite and constantly competing approaches to the assimilation of land space - "overland" approach and "maritime" approach. Depending on what attitude (“overland” or “maritime”) the diverse states, peoples, nations, their historical consciousness adhere to, their external and domestic policy, their psychology, their worldview are shaped according to completely definite rules. Given such feature, it is quite possible to speak about an “overland”, “continental” or even “steppe” (“steppe” is “land” in its pure, ideal kind) worldview and about a “maritime”, “insular”, “oceanic” or “aquatic” worldview. (We shall notice incidentally, that the first hints of a similar approach can be discovered in the works of the Russian slavophiles - as Khomyakov and Kiryevsky). In the ancient history the “maritime” powers who became an historical symbol of “maritime civilization” as a whole were Phoenicia and Carthago. The overland empire opposing Carthago was Rome. The Punic war is the purest image of the opposition of “maritime civilization” and “overland civilizations”. In the Modern Age and in recent history the insular” and “maritime” pole became England, “Mistress of the seas” and, later, the giant island-continent America. England, as well as ancient Phoenicia, used as the basic instrument of domain in the first place sea trade and colonization of coastal areas. The poenician-anglo-saxon geopolitical type generated a special “mercantile-capitalist-market” pattern of civilization founded first of all on economic and material interests and the principles of economic liberalism. Therefore, despite of all possible historical variations, the general kind of  “maritime” civilization is always linked with “primacy of economics above politics”. As against the phoenician pattern, Rome represented a sample of warlike-authoritarian structure based on administrative control and civil religiosity, on the primacy of “politics above economy”. Rome is the example of a non-maritime, but overland, purely continental type of colonization, with its deep penetration into the continent and assimilation of the submitted peoples, automatically “romanized” after the conquest. In Modern History the incarnations of the “overland” power were the Russian Empire and also Central European imperial Austro-Hungary and Germany. “Russia - Germany - Austro-Hungary” are the essential symbols of “geopolitical land” during Modern History. Mackinder clearly showed that in the last few centuries the “maritime attitude” means “atlantism”, as today “sea powers” above all are England and America, that is Anglo-Saxon countries. Against “atlantism” personifying the primacy of individualism, “economic liberalism” and “democracy of a Protestant kind”, stands “eurasism”, necessarily supposing authoritarianism, hyerarchy and the establishment of “communitarian”, national-state principles above simply human, individualistic and economic concerns. The clearly expressed eurasian attitude is typical first of all of Russia and Germany, the two mightiest continental powers, whose geopolitical, economic and - most important – wordlview concerns are completely opposite to those of England - US, that is “atlantists”. 
 

           
“Conspiracy of the Atlantists” 

          Mackinder, as an englishman and “atlantist”, observed the danger of an eurasian consolidation and, since the end of 19th century, urged the government of England to do everything possible to prevent an Eurasian alliance, and especially an alliance of Russia – Germany - Japan (he considered Japan as a power of essentially continental and eurasian worldview). In Mackinder one can find the clearly formulated and minutely described ideology of accomplished and absolutized “atlantism”, whose doctrine stands at the base of anglo-saxon geopolitical strategy in the 20th century. Proceeding from this, we can define the essence of intelligence work, military espionage, political lobbysm, oriented towards England and USA, as the “Atlantic ideology”, the ideology of “New Carthago”- the one that is common to all “influential agents”, to all secret and occultist organizations, to all lodges and semi-closed clubs which served and serve the anglo-saxon idea in the 20th century, penetrating the network of all continental “eurasian”powers. And naturally, in the first place this immediately concerns english and american reconnaissance services  (especially the CIA), which are not simply the “sentinels of capitalism” or “americanism”, but the sentinels of “atlantism”, united by a deep-rooted and pluri-millennial super-ideology of the “oceanic” kind. It is possible to call the aggregate of all “networks” of anglo-saxon influence as the “participants of the atlantic conspiracy”, working not only in the interests of each separate country, but in the interest of a special geopolitical and, in the end, metaphysical doctrine representing an extremely multi-planed, miscellaneous and wide, but nevertheless essentially uniform worldview. So, generalizing the ideas of Mackinder, it is possible to say that there is an historical “conspiracy of the atlantists”, pursuing through the centuries the same geopolitical purposes oriented to the interest of the “maritime civilization” of neo-phoenician kind. And it is important to stress that “atlantists” can be both “left-”, and “right-wing”, both “atheists”, and “believers”, both “patriots”, and “cosmopolitans”, as the common geopolitical worldview stands behind all particular national and political differencies. Therefore we deal with the most real “occult conspiracy”, whose meaning and metaphysical intrinsic cause often remain completely obscure to its immediate participants, and even to its most key figures. 
 

        
Conspiracy of the “Eurasists” 

          Mackinder’s ideas, revealing that definite historical and political regularity which many before had guessed or foreseen, opened the way to the explicit ideological formulation of the opposition to atlantism in the pure “eurasian doctrine”. The first principles of the eurasian geopolitics were formulated by russian white emigrants known under the name of “eurasists” (prince N.Trubetskoy, Savitsky, Florovsky etc.) and the famous german geopolitician Karl Haushofer. Moreover, the fact of the frequent meetings of russian “eurasists” with Karl Haushofer in Prague cause us to esteem that german and russian geopoliticians developed the related topics simultaneously and in a parallel way. Moreover, in the subsequent analysis they followed just the same principles, insisting on the necessity of the eurasian geopolitical alliance of Russia-Germany-Japan as a counterweight to “atlantist” policies aiming at any cost to opposing Russia to Germany and Japan. Russian eurasists and the Haushofer group formulated the definite principles of a continental, eurasian worldview alternative to atlantist ideas. It is possible to say that for the first time they expressed what stood behind the whole european political history of the last millenium, having traced the path of the “Roman imperial idea”, which from Ancient Rome through Byzantium had passed to Russia, and through the Medieval Sacred Empire of the German nations to Austro-Hungary and Germany. Thus russian eurasists attentively and deeply analyzed the imperial and to the maximum extent “overland” mission of Gengis Khan and the Mongols, having stressed the continental significance of the Turks. The group of Haushofer, for his part, studied Japan and the continental mission of the Far Eastern states in the perspective of the future geopolitical alliance. So, in reply to Mackinder’s frank confession, enlighting the secret planetary “atlantist” strategy, laying its roots deep into the centuries, russian and german eurasists in the ‘20s discovered the logics of the alternative continental strategy, the secret overland “imperial idea”, heir of Rome, which invisibly inspired power [derzhava] policies with an authoritarian-idealistic, communitarian-heroic worldview - from the empire of Charles the Great to the Sacred Union proposed by the great russian czar Alexander the First, deep eurasian mystic invisibly. The Eurasian idea is as global as the Atlantic one, and it too had set its “secret agents” in all historical states and nations. All those who restlessly worked for the eurasian union, those who hindered for centuries the propagation on the continent of individualist, egualitarian and liberal-democratic concepts (reproducing as a whole the typical phoenician spirit of the “primacy of economics above politics”), those who aspired to unite the great eurasian peoples in the atmosphere of East, instead of in an atmosphere of West – be it the East of Gengis Khan, the East of Russia or East of Germany - all of them were “Eurasian agents”, bearers of the special geopolitical doctrine, “the soldiers of the continent”, “the soldiers of Land”. The Eurasian secret society, the Order of the eurasists, does not start at all with the authors of the manifest “Exodus to the East” or with Haushofer’s “Geopolitical Journal”. This was, briefly speaking, only the revelation, the outcoming of a definite knowledge which existed since the beginning of time, together with its relative secret societies and network of “influential agents”. No less than in the case of Mackinder, its belonging to the aenygmatic “secret societies” is historically established. 

Order of Eurasia against Order of Atlantic (Atlantides). 
Eternal Rome against Eternal Carthago. 
Occult punic war invisibly continuing during millennia. 
Planetary conspiracy of Land against the Sea, Earth against Water, Authoritarianism and Idea against Democracy and Matter.

          Does not the endless paradoxes, contradictions, omissions and vagaries of our history become more clear, more logical and more reasonabe, if we to look at them from the perspective of an occult geopolitical dualism? Will not in this case the countless victims, by which mankind in our century pays the bill for unclear political projects, receive a deep metaphysical justifying? Is it not a noble and grateful gesture to recognize all those who fell on the battlefields of the XXth century as the soldier-heroes of the Great War of Continents, instead of compliant puppets of conventional and constantly varying political regimes, transient and unstable, passing and casual, meaningless to such extent, that death for the sake of them looks trivial and silly? Different deal, if the fallen heroes served to Great Land or Great Ocean, if aside from political demagogy and raging propaganda of ephemeral ideologies they served the great geopolitical purpose before the pluri-millennial planetary history.   

         
“Blood and Soil” - “Blood or Soil?” 

          The famous russian philosopher, religious thinker and publicist Konstantin Leontyev pronounced this extremely relevant formula: “Slavness [Slavyanstvo] does exist, slavism does not”. One of the basic geopolitical conclusions of this remarkable author was the opposition betwen the idea of “panslavism” and “Asian” [asyatskoy] idea. If we attentively analyze this opposition, we shall detect a general typological criterion, which will allow us to better understand structure and logics of the geopolitical occult war of the Eurasian Order against the Atlantic Order. Contrary to to the eclectic combination of terms in the concept of “Blood and Soil” by the german ideologist of national-socialist peasantry Wahlter Darré, at the level of geopolitical forces occult war in the modern world this problem is differently formulated - namely, “blood or soil”. In other words, traditionalist projects of preserving of identity of the people, state or the nations always stand before an alternative – which one to take as the dominant criterion, whether “unity of nation, race, ethnos, unity of blood” or “unity of geographical space, unity of borders, unity of soil”. Thus the whole drama consists in the necessity of the choice: “either - or”, and each hypothetical "also" remains only an utopian slogan which is not decisive, but only obscuring the fineness of the problem. Ingenious Konstantin Leontyev, convicted traditionalist and radical russophile, adressed precisely this question: «Russians must either insist on the unity of the slavs, on slavism (“blood”), or turn to the East and realize the geographical and cultural affinity Russian to eastern to the peoples linked to Russian territories (“soil”)». This question can be formulated in different terms as a choice between confession of the supremance of law of “race” (“nationalism”) or “geopolitics” (“statehood”, “culture”). Leontyev himself chose “soil”, “territory”, the specificity of great-russian imperial religious and state culture. He chose “orientalism”   [vostochnost’], “asiatism” [azyatsnost’], “byzantism”. Such choice implied the priority of continental, eurasian values above narrow-national and racial values. Leontyev’s logics quite obviously resulted in the inevitability of the Russian-German, and especially Russo-Austrian union, and in the peace with Turkey and Japan. Leontyev’s categorical denial of “slavism” or “pan-slavism” roused indignation among many late slavopohiles, standing on the position of “blood is higher than soil”, or “blood and soil”. Leontyev was neither understood neither listened to. The history of the XXth century repeatedly demonstrated the extraordinary relevance of the problems he laid. 

         
Panslavism against Eurasism 

          The thesis “blood is higher than soil (in Russian context, it means “slavism”, “panslavism”) for the first time revealed all its equivocacy during the First World War, when Russia, having entered into alliance with the countries of the the Entente (the English, French and Americans), aiming to free the “slav brothers” from Turkish domination,  not only began to fight against its natural geopolitical allies - Germany and Austria, - but also  plunged itself into the catastrophe of revolution and civil war. As a matter of fact,  Russian “slavism” has worked on the side of “atlantists”, of the Entente and of a type of “neo-carthaginian civilization”, embodied in the mercantile-colonial, individualistic Anglo-Saxon model. It is not surprising, that among “patriot-panslavists” from the circle of the sovereign–emperor Nikolay II, the majority were employees of the english intelligence or simply “atlantist influential agents”. It is curious to recollect an episode from the novel of the russian patriot and ataman [head of Cossack militias] Peter Krasnov From the bicephal eagle to the red flag, where in the fire of the First World war of the major hero of the colonel Sablin ask: “Say frankly, colonel, whom you count as our genuine enemy?”, and he univocally answers: “England!”, though this conviction does not prevent him to honestly and courageously fight for english interests against Germany, following his duty of absolute loyalty to the eurasian Emperor. The hero of the Krasnov’s novel is the ideal example of Russian patriot-eurasist, example the logics of “soil over blood”, which was characteristic for count Witte, for baron Ungern-Sternberg, for the mysterious organization “Baltikum”, consisting of Baltic aristocrats, till last minute remaining devoted to the imperial family (just like faithful to the czar in the chaos of universal betraying remained the turkmeni prince with his division, described in the same novel by Krasnov). It is striking, to what extent courageously and nobly acted during 1917 Asians, Turks, Germans and others “from other motherlands” [inorodtsi], serving by belief and truth the Czar and the Empire, serving Eurasia, “soil”, “continent” - in contrast to with many “slavs”, “pan-slavists”, quickly forgetting about “Constantinople” and the “Balkan brothers” and running away from Russia, leaving Czar and Fatherland, to the countries of “Atlantic” influence, to Western Ocean, to Water, betraying not only the Native land, but the great Idea of Eternal Rome, Russian Third Rome, Moscow. 

         
The Atlantists and Racism 

In Germany the affirmation of the idea “blood is higher than soil” produced not less terrible consequences. Contrary to the russophile and eurasist German patriots – Arthur Moeller van den Bruck, Karl Haushofer etc.- insisting on the “supremacy of law of vital space" ¹ in the interest of the continent as a whole, on the idea of the “continental block”, in the government of the Third Reich eventually victory went to the “atlantist” lobby, maintaining racist theses and - under pretext of the “anglo-aryans and related german ethnoses” - aiming to divert Hitler's attention to the East and to suspend (or at least to weaken) war actions against England. “Pangermanism” in this case (as well as russian “panslavism” in the First World War) only worked on the side of the “atlantists”. And it is completely logical that a major enemy of Russia, constantly aspiring to engage Hitler’s Germany in conflict against Russia, against the slavs (on “racial” reasons, "blood is higher than soil”), was the english spy and betrayer of the Reich, admiral Canaris. The problem “blood or soil” is extremely relevant also because the choice of one of these two terms to the detriment of the other allows to identify - maybe indirectly and mediately - the “influential agents” of this or that geopolitical worldview, specially when dealing with the “right” wing or “nationalists”. The essential feature of the “geopolitical conspiracy” of the atlantists (as, however, also of the eurasists) is that it covers the whole spectrum of political ideologies from the extreme right to the extreme left, but anyway the “geopolitical agents of influence” always leave their particular tracks. In the case of the “right”, such sign of potential atlantism is the principle of “blood over soil”, which, besides everything else, allows to abstract from the fundamentality of geopolitical problems, withdrawing the attention of leaders and statesmen to less relevant issues. 

         
Who is the spy of whom? 

          As an example of the effect of occult geopolitical ideology of the “left”, it is possible to mention the eurasist national-bolsheviks from Germany - for instance, the German communist-nationalist Ernst Niekisch, the conservative revolutionary Ernst Junger, the communists Lauffenberg, Petel, Schultzen-Boysen, Winnig etc. Eurasist national-bolsheviks undoubtedly were also among the Russians, and the circumstance is curious, that Lenin itself during the emigration aspired to be pulled together to German politics and financiers; moreover, many of his theses were rather frankly germanophile. We do not want in this case to affirm that Lenin was involved in the Eurasian Order, but in some measure he was under the influence of this Order. Anyway, the opposition “Lenin=German spy” - “Trotsky=American spy” really corresponded to a definite typological scheme. In any case, at the pure geopolitical level, the operating of Lenin’s government had an Eurasian character, if only because, contrary to the authentic Marxist doctrine, he preserved the united great eurasian space of the Russian Empire. (Trotsky, on his part, insisted on exporting Revolution, on its “mondialization”, and considered the Soviet Union as something transient and ephemeral, as the bridgehead for ideological expansion, something which should disappear before the planetary victory of “messianic communism”; as a whole, Trotsky’s mission bore on itself the mark of “atlantism”, as opposed to communist “eurasist” Lenin). Leninist-bolshevik “internationalism” itself had a definite “imperial”, “eurasian” measurement-principle of “soil above blood” - though, certainly, this principle was distorted and misinterpreted due to the influence of other aspects of the bolshevik ideology and, most important, due to the activities of “influential agents” of atlantism inside the same communist government. Summing up all these reasons, it is possible to say that a distinctive feature of the representatives of the Eurasian Order in Russia was almost “compulsory” germanophily (or, at least, “anglophoby”), and conversely, in Germany eurasists were “compelled” to be russophile. Moeller van der Bruck made once a very correct remark: “French conservatives were always excited by the example of Germany, German conservatives by the example of Russia”. Here the whole logics is revealed of the geopolitical, continental backgound of the invisible occult fight passing through the centuries - the occult War of Continents. 

           
You said GRU, mister Parvulesco? 

          Alone among western conspirolgists, to constantly stress the geopolitical character of the “world conspiracy” or, more exactly, two alternative “of world conspiracies” (“Euroasian” and “Atlantic”), is the ingenious French writer, poet and metaphysician Jean Parvulesco, author of many literary and philosophical works. In its long and extremely eventful life he was personally familiar with many prominent figures of the European and world history, including with the representatives of an “occult, parallel history” - mystics, outstanding masons, kabbalists, esoterists, secret agents of various special services, ideologists, politicians and artists. (In particular, he was friend of Ezra Pound, Julius Evola, Arno  Brekker, Otto Skorzely, Pierre de Villemarest, Raymond Abellio etc .) Having heard about the specificity of our conspirologic studies, Parvulesco has granted us some documents labeled as strictly-confidential, which have allowed us to discover many major details of the planetary geopolitical conspiracy. A special interest is exhibited by materials concerning the activity of secret occult organizations in Russia. In the further description we shall try to expose the most interesting aspects of Parvulesco’s conception. On February 24, 1989 in Lausanne, before the members of the administrative council of the mysterious “Institute for Special Metastrategical Studies ‘Atlantis'” Jean Parvulesco presented a report under the intriguing title The GRU Galaxy, with the subheading The confidential mission of Mikhail Gorbachev, the USSR and the future of the great Eurasian Continent. In this report - a copy of which Parvulesco transmitted to us - he analyzed the occult role of the Soviet military intelligence service otherwise called GRU (Glavnoe Razvedyvatelnoe Upravlenie, Major Intelligence Service), and the connection of the GRU with the secret Order of Eurasia. As a reference, Parvulesco chose the book of the well known specialist in the field of Soviet special service, the famous agent of the  French counter-intelligence and director of the “European Data Centre” Pierre de Villemarest, who in 1988 released in France the best seller “GRU, the most secret among the Soviet special services, 1918-1988”. 

         
GRU against KGB 

          The conspirological model of the same Villemarest can be summarized as follows: “KGB is a continuation of the party, GRU is a continuation of the army. Already by its definition, the army defends the state, KGB defends the party... KGB is guided by the principle “patriotism at the service of communism”, while the army by the opposite principle “communism at the service of patriotism”. Proceeding from this logics of opposition between GRU and KGB as the most secret centres of bipolar power in the USSR (the army and the party), Villemarest builds the fascinating and argumented narration of the history of GRU. The secret sense of the invisible history of the USSR from the October revolution to the Perestroyka is to be found in the rivalry of “neighbours” - GRU, the “Aquarium” or the “military section 44388” at Khodynka, and KGB, the “office” at Lubyanka. But what is the connection between these rival special services and the two planetary geopolitical Orders, even more secret and hidden than most secret intelligence services? According to Parvulesco, the Eurasian Order was especially active in Russia in the beginning of the 20th century. Among its representatives he counts the St.Petersburg doctor Badmaev, baron von Ungern-Sternberg, the Swedish secret curators of Rasputin (signing their cyphrogramms by the pseudonym “Green”) and many other less known characters. It is necessary also to outline the special role of the future marshall Mikhail Tukhachevsky, who, according to Parvulesco, was initiated to the mysterious Polar Order during his stay in the German detention camp of Ingolstadt - where strikingly, just in the same period 1916-1918, we meet other major figures of modern history: general de Gaulle, general von Ludendorff and the future Pope Pio XII, monsignor Eugenio Pacelli. Just from this group of Russian geopolitical mystics, the testimony of the relay-race was later transmitted to the bolshevik regime, but basically to esoterists of continental attitude grouped in the army, in army structures, where there was a significant number of former imperial officers who had entered the ranks of the reds in order to change in the long run the bolsheviks’ nihilistic attitude of and to create the Great Continental Power using the communists, pragmatically possessed by the messianic idea. What matters is that among the red there were some agents of the Eurasian Order executing the secret continental mission. (It is curious, that the famous red robber Kotovskiy was a left-anarchist, occultist and mystic, and some specific parts of his biography justify the belief that in his case there have been contacts with the Eurasian Order). Thus, between pre-revolutionary and post-revolutionary Russian “eurasists” there existed a continuity of members. The creation of the Red Army was bisiness of the agents of Eurasia; and in this respect it is curious to remind an historical event, that twenty seven days after the creation of the general headquarter of the Red Army on the Eastern Front (July 10, 1918) a crew of Chekists attacked it and liquidated all of its members, including the commander-in-chief. The cruel war between “red eurasists” from the Army and the “ red atlantists” from Djerdjinsky's Cheka did not stop for one minute since the first days of the Soviet history. But despite the victims, the agents of the Eurasian Order among the reds did not leave their mission. A triumph of the eurasists was in 1918 the creation within the Red Army of the GRU (Major Intelligence Service) under the direction of Semyon Ivanovich Aralov, former imperial officer and until 1917 linked to the military intelligence. More precisely, Aralov was the head of the Operational Department of Vseroglavshtab [All-Russian Major Staff], where the reconnaissance service entered as one of its constituting parts. The peculiarity of his activity, that mysterious, almost mystical immunity, which this man enjoyed through all his life during the most careful “purges” (he died by natural death on May 22, 1969), and also some other details of his biography cause to see in Aralov the man of the Continental Order. 

         
White eurasists - red eurasists 

          According to Parvulesco, the russian affiliate of the eurasist Order after the Revolution was established in the Red Army, and even more exactly, in its most secret department - the GRU. But this concerned, naturally, only “red” eurasists. “White” eurasists in Europe generally joined the german nationalists, and we find representatives of this Order in the Abwehr [Counter-intelligence], and later in foreign sections of the SS and SD [Sicherheit Dienst] (specially SD, whose chief Heydrik was himself a convinced eurasist, for which reason he too fell victim of the intrigues of the atlantist Canaris). The revolution divided the Russians between “reds” and “whites”, but behind this political and conditioned division there was a different mysterious geopolitical partition into areas of influence of the two secret orders - Atlantic and Eurasian. In red Russia the atlantists were grouped around the Cheka and around the Politburo, although never before the appointment of Kruschev any open “atlantist” held the seat of General Secretary (Lenin and Stalin were “eurasists” or, at least, subject to strong influence form the agents of the Eurasian Order). Among the white russian emigration the atlantists were not less than in Russia itself, and apart from obvious english spies - liberals such as Kerensky and other democrats and Social Democrats - even in the field of extreme rightists, monarchists, the atlantist lobby was extremely strong - to it belonged even such a “right” philosopher as Berdyaev, and many others. (The overwhelming majority of russian emigrants which appeared in the US were related to this geopolitical attitude.) In a definite moment, at the beginning of the ‘30s, the network of GRU agents in Europe and especially in Germany penetrates deeply into the structures of german and french intelligence, and the GRU network duplicates the network of NKVD and later KGB agents. GRU agents first of all penetrated into army structures and sometimes the common eurasian platform makes the people from GRU and other european secret agents not so much enemies, how much allies, collaborators, secretly (even to their own governments) preparing a new continental project. Here again we are not talking about double agents, as about the unity of the highest geopolitical interests. So in Germany the GRU holds contact with some Walter Nikolay, head of the “Bureau for the jewish question” . Thanks to him the GRU gains access to the highest direction of the Abwehr, SS and SD. The central figure of this network was Martin Bormann himself. (This fact was well known to the allies after fact-findings linked to the Nuremberg process, and many of them were sure that Bormann after 1945 was hidden just in the USSR. It is known for certain that Walter Nikolay himself really passed in May 1945 to the Russians).

         
The Ribbentropp-Molotov pact
and the subsequent revenge of the atlantists 

          In relation to Martin Bormann, friend of Ribbentropp and Walter Nikolay,  Jan Parvulesco himself  tells one extremely revealing story, casting some light on the secrets of the occult war between the two geopolitical Orders. Arno Brekker, the famous German sculptor, who very well knew Bormann, told Parvulesco about one strange visit from him in Jackelsburg. «On June 22, 1941, immediately after the attack of Hitler’s Germany against the USSR, Bormann came to him without a warning, in a state of shock, having left his office at the Reichskanzlerei. He was constantly repeating the same mysterious sentence: “Non-being, in this June day, has gained victory above Being... All is over... All is lost..” When the sculptor asked what he meant, Bormann kept silent; then, already at the door, he turned as he wanted to add something, then decided not to, and left slamming the door».  That was the great collapse of long-term efforts for the eurasian agents. For the atlantists, the date of June 22, 1941 was a great celebration day: the intra-continental war of the two major eurasian powers, one against the other, was a pledge of triumph for the Atlantic Order, irrespective of what side victory would go to. June 22, 1941 for the Order of the eurasists was an even more tragic event than the October revolution. It is important to stress that the agents of the Eurasian Order used their best efforts to avert the conflict. Preparatives for the conclusion to the maximum extent of the symbolical pact “Ribbentropp-Molotov” (both, by the way, were out-and-out eurasists) were actively led from both sides during long years. In 1936 Stalin, definitively shifting at the threshold of the ‘30s on the side of the Order of Eurasia, had given Berzin, chief of the GRU (Berzin was the exception of a rule: agent of atlantism heading the eurasian organization and working inside it for the NKVD) this order: « Immediately suspend any activity against Germany ». (It must be noticed that Berzin ignored this order). In 1937 Heydrik and Himmler in a secret dispatch assured the Fuehrer, that «Germany is not more a target of Komintern activity, and also of other Soviet subversive activities». The pact Ribbentropp-Molotov was the summit of strategic success for the eurasists. But at the last moment the Oceanic forces overcame. The eurasists in GRU and, more generally, in the army - Voroshilov, Timoshenko, Zhukov, Golikov etc.- until the last moment refused to believe in the possibility of war, since the serious influence of the eurasian (that is, russophile) lobby in the Third Reich was perfectly known to them. (National-socialist anti-slavic propaganda they deemed so insignificant and superficial, as well as Marxist demagogic internationalist rethorics in the USSR). General Golikov (concealing his noble origins and his authentic date of birth, and also his true biography, on motives purely linked to conspiracy within the “Eurasian” order) even reproached his subordinates, having received the piece of information about the Germans crossing the Soviet border: “English provocation! Investigate! ” He did not know at that moment what Martin Boormann already knew: “Non-being has gained victory over Being”. 

         
Contours of the Atlantic lobby 

          The secret Atlantic Order has a most ancient history. Some traditonalist authors trace it back to the initiatic societies of ancient Egypt and specially to a sect worshipping the god Seth, whose symbols were the Crocodile and Behemoth (i.e. aquatic animals), and also the Red Ass (see J.Robin Secret societies in apocalyptical rendez-vous, J.M.Allemand René Guénon and Seven towers of the devil etc.). Later the sect of Seth merged with various phoenician cults, specially with the bloody cult of Moloch. According to the French conspirologist of the XIXth century Claude Grasset d'Orcet, this secret organization still existed many centuries after after the ruin of the phoenician civilization. In Middle Age Europe it existed under the name of “Minstrels of Morgana”, whose emblem was the “Dancing Death”, or Dance Macabre. Grasset d'Orcet affirmed that Luther's Reformation was conducted under the instruction of this sect and that Protestants (especially Anglo-Saxon and French) still remain under its influence. Jan Parvulesco believes that Giuseppe Balsamo, the famous Cagliostro, was one of the major agents of this secret Order which emerged at the surface at the end of the XVIII century under the mask of the irregular “Egyptian” Masonry of Memphis rite, later of Memphis-Mithra. Such symbolical prehistory of the atlantists characterizes the substance of their geopolitical and cultural-economic strategy. Its sense is reduced to emphasizing “horizontal” values, to bring on the foreground the lowest aspects of the human being and society as a whole. This does not mean that atlantism is identical to vulgar materialism, but anyway, the “material”, purely economic, commercial aspect of human activity holds the central place in it. The notion of a system of values at a merely human level supposes individualism and radical anthropocentrism, peculiar to atlantism in all its manifestations, and in parallel to this notion there necessarily emerges the typical “Atlantic” scepticism and depressive irony in relation to ideal, supra-human measure of life. In fact, the images of the Red Ass and the Dancing Death perfectly mirror the substance of “Atlantic” scepticism. And according to the strange logics of history, the most radical forms of protestantism, individualistm, social and religious critical consciousness after Lutherian reform, as a matter of fact, were “attracted” as a magnet towards the Atlantic regions - to England and further Westward, even deeper into the Atlantic - to America, where found a favourable ground the most extreme forms of radical protestantism incarnated by Baptists, Quakers and Mormons. (J.M. Allemand marked a symbolical concurrence: from Cadiz - a port which was historically the major centre of phoenician colonies on the Iberian peninsula - Cristopher Columbus sailed for his Atlantic expedition, concluded with the discovery of America). But the consolidation of the Atlantic Order in the Extreme West and the creation of an exclusively Atlantic civilization in the US, acoording to the project of this Order, were just an intermediate stage in the “neo-carthagenian”plans of the atlantists. The following strategic step consisted in exporting the Atlantic model on the other continents, in the geopolitical colonization of the whole planet, in the transfer of the West, in mystical and geopolitical sense, all over the world, including, of course, also the East. Therefore the network of Atlantic agents in the states of Eurasia not only pursued a defensive goal (weakening the alternative geopolitical force), but also supposed offensive operations. The avantgarde of “atlantism” in Eurasia were “leftists”, “anarchist” subversive movements, though also in their environment there always existed an internal eurasian opposition. However, is is necessary to recognize “economic socialism” and “communism” in their theoretical and pure kind as the “atlantic” form of propaganda, the socio-political mask for the secret Order of the Red Ass. If we take into account the specifical geopolitical and occult doctrines of the Atlantic pole, it becomes completely clear why “leftist” subversive movements were so much encouraged by the Anglo-Saxon powers in continental European and Eurasian countries, while in England, and especially in America, “communists” and “social-democrats” constitute an insignificant percentage. For the atlantist lobby, “leftists” have always been the fifth column in Eurasia. From here also comes that natural harmony between russian atlantists of communist inclination and anglo-saxon capitalists, which so often leads to a blind alley foreign scholars and historians, wondering about such complete mutual understanding between “class enemies” – between  “messianic” bolsheviks with their dictatorship of proletariat and Wall Street bankers with their cult of the Golden Veal. The secret society of the Dancing Death, Red Ass, “Minstrels of Morgana”, Brotherhood of the Ocean - these images will help us to understand the logics of the world atlantist lobby, aspiring not only to defend their “islands”, but also to turn the whole planet into “Carthago”, in the united universal “ human market”. 

           
KGB at the service of the “Dancing Death” 

          Pierre de Villemarest rightly defined the Cheka (OGPU, NKVD, KGB) as the “continuation of the party”. It would be even more precise to say that it is the secret centre of the party, its mind and its soul. Jan Parvulesco has supplemented this definition by occult geopolitical measurement. According to Parvulesco, KGB is the centre of the most straight influence of the Atlantic Order, Order of the Dancing Death. KGB is a cover for this Order. Many had guesses about an occult background of this organization. Some even spoke about presence in KGB of a secret organization of parapsychological studies, about the so-called black-magic “Company of Viy”,² where all the leading political figures of the USSR received, so to speak, their consecration. However, hearings about the mysterious “Company of Viy”, most likely, are but the oversimplified and grotesque description of a much subtler and deeper reality, as the occult mission of KGB is not at all reduced to magic or parapsychological experiences, to which, we shall notice, this organization really always showed some abnormal, heightened interest. KGB was initially planned as the only ideological-punitive structure called to supervise above the subjects of the communist social and cultural space. The communists in their ideological, messianic, Marxist dimension, in relation to the eurasian population of the regions subject to them, always erected themselves as colonizers, as newcomers, always keeping an ideological distance from the needs, requirements and interests of the indigenous population. At the purely “ideal” level, they aimed at imposing to the eurasian peoples an economy-centered model unnatural for them - which compelled the former to use a repressive apparatus. The Cheka (NKVD, OGPU, KGB) was initially the parody of the “knightly-ideological” order called to punish the autochtones and to stifle their natural inclination for the “soil”. Cheka (and KGB) also professed the thesis of “blood over soil”, but already in its completely misunderstood, blood-sadist variant, as a disturbing memoir of the bloody phoenician cult of Moloch, to which the atlantist agents were typologically and generically linked. Cheka-KGB always served the “Dancing Death ”, and many paradoxes and unreliable (because of their inhumanity) histories linked to this dark organization become more clear, if we shall take into consideration the not only metaphorical, but occultist-esoterist connection of this Order to the most ancient middle eastern cults, whose adherents never ceased to exist actually, continuing the secret chain through secret european and middle eastern organizations of atlanist kind. 

        
Convergence of intelligences and the “polar mission of GRU” 

 The CIA, as an instrument of the American atlantism, typologically belongs to same conspirological category. Moreover, at the origins of this organization we find outstanding figures of the american masonry - which, by the way, the european masons consider as irregular, that is heretical and sectarian. (However a question here follows from necessity: is there in the US as a whole anything, in the sphere of religion or metaphysics, that would not be heretical and sectarian?) The CIA, as KGB, was never indifferent to magic and parapsychology, and on the whole its role in modern civilization is quite comparable to KGB's role, though the blood-sadist substance in this case is not so obvious. The CIA (and its forerunners) together with the english secret services, since the beginning of the century have filled Eurasia with a network of agents, which constantly influenced the course of historical events in atlantist key. Somehow, it is quite possible to speak about “convergences of special services”, about “merger” of KGB and CIA, about their lobbyist unity at a geopolitical level. This explains such an abundance of so-called “Soviet spies ” in the highest regions of american power, from Hiss to Reserford, who, according to some authors, transmitted the project of the hydrogen bomb to Soviet nuclearists. (It is possible, by the way, that just within the atlantist lobby of the Soviet-American nuclear scientists, the academician Sakharov acquainted himself with mondialist projects of the anti-eurasian orientation, upon which he later based his social and political and futurological views.) It is necessary to notice that the doubling of the KGB agents network in the US and other anglo-saxon countries by the GRU agents network was laid in constant secret conflict with “neighbour”agents of Lubyanka; and given the radical contradiction of geopolitical and even metaphysical orientation of these two Soviet secret structures, it would be logical to suspect that the true and only oppositor of the CIA were the GRU agents, and not at all KGB. These convergence of secret services, as well as the converging realignment of the Soviet communists of the highest echelon with American mondialists, are grounded on the unity of fundamental geopolitical orientation, on the unity of a secret structure, which makes use both of West atlantists and atlantist agents in the East, sometimes occupying the highest places in the state and political nomenclature. But the complete and open merger of these two affiliations of the Order of the Dancing Death from a certain moment was hindered by the efforts of the alternative eurasian lobby, genetically linked to GRU and to the Soviet General Staff, but also including in its network many european and asian intelligence structures (especially from Germany, France - linked to general de Gaulle’s secret geopolitical projects- Arab countries, and so on), united at the service of the alternative Order, the Order of Eurasia - otherwise called as the society of the “minstrels of Mursya” or as the polar “Order of Heliopolis”, Order of Apollon, solar winner of the Snake-Python, that Snake which the Greek tradition identified with the Egyptian god Seth, with the Red Ass. 

         
Rise and eclipse of the Eurasian Sun 

          Let us now briefly outline the peripeties of the occult war of the Eurasian Order against the Atlantic Orders within the Soviet system. As we have said in the previous chapters, Lenin as a whole adhered to the Eurasian attitude. It is characteristic that during his leadership the GRU was created and directed by the sincere eurasist Semyon Ivanovich Aralov. Aralov himself permeated the structure of this secret army organization with eurosian continental principles, gathering around himself the most valuable and efficient “brothers of Eurasia”, who like him were sent among the red ranks for accomplishing their special metapolitical mission. It is curious that at the beginning of the ‘60s Aralov released a book under the expressive title “Lenin led us to victory ”. It is necessary to remark here one relevant detail: the so-called “leninist guards”, despite of political affinity to Lenin, at a geopolitical level belonged in the overwhelming majority to the alternative, Atlantic geopolitical orientation. “Lenin’s nearest collaborators”, and not at all “the ambitious tyrant Stalin” (as many still today wrongly consider), stood behind his demise from the government of the country. The end of the leninist leadership marked in itself the passage of power in the hands of the atlantists, and as a matter of fact, during the second half of the ‘20s - first half of the ‘30s we are witness of a significant improvement of the relations between the USSR and the anglo-saxon countries, and first of all the US. In a parallel way to this we see also symptomatic permutations of cadres within the GRU. The atlantist and chekist Berzin, creating an intelligence structure with the support of Komintern and communist zealots, i.e. of atlantist elements, is appointed to replace the eurasist Aralov. But even Berzin fails to change the orientation of GRU. The structures created by Aralov are strong and at the same time flexible enough to surrender without fight. Despite of all Cheka-NKVD attacks against the army, the military have significant authority and preserve their intellectual geopolitical elite in the ranks of GRU. One curious detail deserves notice - all the chiefs of GRU who replaced Aralov prior to the beginning the Great Patriotic War, were executed. We list them: O.A. Stigga, A.M. Nikonov, Ya.K. Berzin, I.S. Unschlikht, S.P. Uritskiy, N.I. Yezhov, I.I. Proskurov. All of them (except for general Proskurov) were the not military cadres, all of them worked against the eurasian idea, but it did not prevent the GRU to remain the only eurasian organization secretly acting to the accomplishment of the great continental project. The dismissal of Berzin in 1934, after nine years’ stay as the head of GRU, meant a severe crisis in the occult war behind the scenes of the Soviet government. Hitlers’ coming to power had extraordinarily strenghtened the positions of the “continental lobby” within the Soviet government. In 1934 GRU agents begin to prepare the German-Russian strategic union reaching its summit with the Ribbentropp-Molotov. Stalin definitively reveals his support to the eurasian orientation, believing that the anti-atlantic tendencies of national-socialism will attract on themselves the attention of the anglo-saxon powers and that in such situation it will possible, at last, to open the way to the destruction of the powerful “atlantic” lobby within the USSR. The destruction of the “leninist guards” begins. All stalinian processes, sometimes apparently absurd and completely groundless, were actually deeply substantiated at a geopolitical level. All “right” and “left-wing” conspiracies were perfectly real - although to directly call them by name and to incriminate the whole “atlantist lobby ”, acting already for a long time in the Soviet government, Stalin did not resolve to. Probably, he had reasons to be afraid of a terrible and cruel reaction. Therefore he was compelled to mask his claims on this or that group of the high-ranking cadres through “relative” charges and allegorical labels. Layer after layer, Stalin liquidated the influential agents of “New Carthago”, but also the inverse reaction was unavoidable. An especially severe impact on the eurasian lobby was the killing of the head of the “Polar” lodge within the Red Army, marshall Tukhachevsky. Though also in this case the revenge of the atlantists on Tukhachevsky and all claims showed against him were deeply substantiated, this was only true in the specific “atlantist” perspective, in the context of anti-eurasian sabotage.
