Definition of Ideological Collaborator with Enemy

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Sunday, April 11, 2010 3:16:07 PM

"Ideological Collaborator with Enemy is a category of Ethics and Esthetics. Terrorism is immoral and ugly, regardless of its intentions. It is ethically wrong to surrender to Ideology of Terrorism, and politically, economically, socially, culturally  appease it, and collaborate with terrorists. In addition to being ethically wrong, it is esthetically appalling to beautify Terrorism in any form and any shape in arts, and abusing "fredom of speech", publicly praise enemy by using mass media. It is easy to recognize Ideological Collaborator with enemy. One who expresses views, thoughts, opinions pleasing enemy and willing or unwillinglt demands actions in any way helping to achieve enemy's strategic goals is Ideological Collaboratlor with enemy." Boris Tiraspolsky Quotations and Maxims

There is a great deal of difference between appeasing enemy at a time of Peace and coraborating with enemy at a time of War. The most notorious example of appeasing enemy -- Nazi Germany -- was British PM Neville Chamberlain. 

PM Neville Chamberlain could be qualified as Ideological Collaborator with Enemy.

 
Collaboration with enemy at a time of War is high treason. The most famous case of collaboration with enemy at a time of war was Vidkun Quisling,  Minister President in occupied Norway from February 1942 to the end of World War II.
 

Vidkun Abraham Lauritz Jonssøn Quisling
His surname has become an eponym for "traitor", especially a collaborationist.

In some European languages, the term "quisling" has become a synonym for traitor, particularly one who collaborates with invaders. The term was invented by the British newspaper The Times in article of April 15, 1940, which was entitled "Quislings everywhere". The article asserted: "There are Quislings in every country in Europe." In almost seventy years one may assert that there are Quislings not only in Europe. 
 
President Barack Obama's advisers plan to remove terms such as "Islamic radicalism" from a document outlining national security strategy and will use the new version to emphasize that the U.S. does not view Muslim nations through the lens of terrorism, counterterrorism officials say. The change would be a significant shift in the National Security Strategy, a document that previously outlined the Bush Doctrine of preventive war. It currently states, "The struggle against militant Islamic radicalism is the great ideological conflict of the early years of the 21st century."

A symbol of U.S. arrogance

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Sunday, April 11, 2010 12:07:16 PM
"Six years ago, I declared myself uneasy due to "the monumental size of this embassy, … Far better would be to turn decisionmaking over to a strong Iraqi leader and maintain a small U.S. presence. If not done earlier, I fear, this will be done later, and under less auspicious circumstances." Those inauspicious circumstances are now five months away; the oversized complex on appropriated land in central Baghdad will likely become a symbol of U.S. arrogance, irritating Iraqis and making the country more vulnerable to Iranian influence."

White Elephant in Baghdad

Iraq's recently-concluded, inconclusive elections will be followed in August by the pullout of American troops, making this a good time to ask what American taxpayers have achieved with the US$45 billion spent on reconstructing Iraq since 2003 and what steps to take next. Continued...

That deadly tactic one day may make its way to America

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Monday, April 05, 2010 9:34:17 AM
"Monday's attack in Moscow wasn't the first example of female suicide bombers, and as the threat assessment reveals, it is not likely to be the last. U.S. law enforcement officials recognize that the deadly tactic one day may make its way to America."



The Growing Threat from Female Suicide Bombers

It is a complete political and paramilitary ideology

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Saturday, April 03, 2010 2:51:21 PM

"Today, Universal Jihad has been brought to the West–not just by overt violence, but through every strategy and tactic conceivable. Islam is not just the faith of another immigrant group; it is a complete political and paramilitary ideology. Political Islam is here to Islamize the Western nations, and that includes the United States." - Vijay Kumar

Nobody wants us around until they need us

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Thursday, April 01, 2010 10:25:31 PM

"It’s axiomatic in police work that nobody wants us around until they need us. And Heaven help us if we’re not around when they do."

All in a Day's Work for a Cop
By Bob Weir
 

One of the toughest jobs for any police officer is the issuance of traffic tickets for minor violations. It’s one thing to stop someone traveling several miles per hour over the limit and remind him of the dangers of speeding as you cite him with a costly document that will reinforce the advice. But the idea of stopping some guy on his way to or from work, to hit him with a summons for not using his turn signal or for an expired inspection tag, makes the officer appear petty toward someone who is not exactly a menace to society. Yes, even minor laws must be enforced, but it’s not the best public relations opportunity for cops.  Continued...

Its goal of eliminating Israel

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 3:27:09 AM
"Palestinian state: The PA has never wavered in its goal of eliminating Israel, as the briefest glance at documentation collected by Palestinian Media Watch makes evident. Should the PA achieve statehood, it will certainly pursue its historic goal – only now equipped with a shiny new American-trained soldiery and arsenal."




America's Shiny New Palestinian Militia

by Daniel Pipes

"The stupidest program the U.S. government has ever undertaken" – last year that's what I called American efforts to improve the Palestinian Authority (PA) military force. Slightly hyperbolic, yes, but the description fits because those efforts enhance the fighting power of enemies of the United States and its Israeli ally. Continued...

Fighting the Soviet system

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 5:13:00 AM

"My father never stopped fighting the Soviet system and the murderous, anti-human ideology that spawned it. He never fell into silence about the genocide and monstrous oppression communism engendered everywhere it set foot. He was always outspoken on behalf of political prisoners that languished in communist gulags around the world."


Dr. Yuri Glazov (1929-1998)

Remembering a Dissident
by Jamie Glazov
 

One day, when I was nine years old, my father and I were on our way to Church. As we neared the entrance, I spat on the ground. Reflexively, my dad’s arm shot out across my chest like a railway barrier, blocking my motion forward. We stood there, frozen in time, for some three seconds until my father uttered, in a very serious but patient way: “It is ok to spit outside of KGB headquarters, but never in front of a place such as this.” I registered the message and indicated my understanding — and we proceeded on our way. Continued...

We don't need an intelligence bureaucracy

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Saturday, March 27, 2010 5:10:08 PM
"The Byzantines had good spies, but no intelligence bureaucracy at all. Officials involved in the management of espionage performed these functions along with other duties. They never had a bureaucratic hierarchy of intelligence and never thought to create one. In America, we've had an intelligence bureaucracy only since the CIA's creation in 1947. We need spies, but we don't need an intelligence bureaucracy."



What the Byzantines Can Teach Us about Our National Security
By Ishmael Jones

Civilization in the city of Rome was extinguished by the year 476, but scholars today recognize that the Roman Empire continued to thrive in its eastern capital of Constantinople, in what we call the Byzantine Empire. As Edward Luttwak notes, the Byzantines did not use the word "Byzantine." They called themselves Romans, and their enemies called them Romans as well. The Byzantine Empire carried on Roman traditions of civilization, commerce, law, and education for nearly a thousand years until they met a heroic end in the Muslim conquest of Constantinople in 1453. Continued...

Attack the messenger

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Thursday, March 25, 2010 2:22:55 AM
"In both cases Chávez reacted as he has in the past, by threatening, blustering, and personally attacking those documented his abuses, rather than substantively addressing any of the allegations. He shares this characteristic with Rafael Correa and Evo Morales, who, rather than debate the merits or truth of any criticism simply attack the messenger."



The Slow Unraveling of Hugo Chávez and his Terrorist Ties
by DOUGLAS FARAH

While Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez has long viewed criticism of his autocratic rule and growing abuses as part of the impending Yanqui invasion, he has suffered two significant blows in the past week and the United States was not part of either. The developments are further signs that Chávez is finally being understood as an anti-democratic strongman who consistently supports terrorist groups that the rest of the world shuns. Continued...

A symposium in spite of a time of defeat

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Wednesday, March 24, 2010 5:03:10 PM
Symposium (Gr.) - a banquet at which entertaining conversations and exchange of ideas take place.
 

A symposium in spite of a time of defeat
 
All food is excellent, aged wine is complete.
Let’s widely open the doors of our modern home!
A symposium in spite of a time of defeat
Is a noble ritual of ancient Greece and Rome.

Let’s get together, dear friends!
And sit together
To celebrate a Gift of Life that never ends
Let’s dine together!

A symposium in spite of a time of defeat
Is our humble win that drives all foes fuming.
They can’t prohibit us to joke, relax and eat,
And boldly face another battle looming.

Let’s get together, dear friends!
And stay together
To worship sacred Liberty that never ends
Let’s drink together!

A symposium in spite of a time of defeat
Is a timeless cause of our inspiration
“To form a more perfect Union”, indeed,
And keep the Republic of the vanquished Nation.

Let’s get together, dear friends!
And laugh together
To overcome regrets by Joy that never ends
Let’s be together!

As we travel the bumpy road of life

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Wednesday, March 24, 2010 3:57:34 AM

"People as a group or as individuals are different and none is perfectly healthy psychologically. We all have a loose wheel or two as we travel the bumpy road of life. Yet, most people manage to stay on course most of the time, with perhaps a stop or two at a repair shop of a mental health professional."



Muslims’ Sheep Mentality
by Amil Imani
 

Humans are living information machines, receiving input from both external sources as well as the body, processing it in some fashion, and producing output: our thoughts and behavior. From the moment of birth, parents, siblings, and others play pivotal parts in supplying the input and influencing how it is processed. Continued...

Moderate Muslims defeating Islamist extremists?

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 1:26:55 AM

"Unless it’s part of a calculated distraction, someone of Fareed Zakaria’s  intelligence should be loath to cite two examples of parents turning in their children to authorities as proof of moderate Muslims defeating Islamist extremists."

The Internationalization of the fight against the Jihadists

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Monday, March 22, 2010 5:00:39 AM
"In an address to the Asian Security Conference 2010 under the theme “Asian Strategic Futures 2030: Trends, Scenarios and Alternatives.” I made a presentation under the title: “The Future of Terrorism: Jihadi threat in the Indian Subcontinent.” The Conference, organized by the Institute for Defense Studies and Analyses, was addressed by India's Prime Minister, Defense Minister and officials as well as international experts live and via satellite. In this adapted piece I argue that the fight against the Jihadists must become internationalized."

U.S. counter-radicalization efforts

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Saturday, March 20, 2010 1:02:38 AM
"Potential U.S. counter-radicalization efforts are most likely to resemble the programs implemented in various European countries. Over the last few years, Britain and the Netherlands have led the pack, investing significant human, financial, and political capital in their programs."

Hostile to the United States and its allies

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Thursday, March 18, 2010 7:31:25 PM
"Russia's strategists are hostile to the United States and its allies. Is this hostility justified? The United States is painted as an aggressor intent on eliminating Russia as a unified state. It is curious, indeed, that no kiss-and-tell book has yet emerged from Washington, exposing a strategic plan to break up Russia."



Do Unto Others
by J. R. Nyquist

Nearly 14 years ago U.S. officials became interested in a 1995 planning document from a Russian defense think tank. The so-called "Surikov document" was put together in October 1995, with the title "Conceptual Provisions of a Strategy for Countering the Main External Threats to Russian Federation National Security." It was used to brief the Russian defense minister and top generals. Continued...
