I will locate the source. I do not believe they are only considering the Derivative debt. The debt issue is one reason for Reset. The analyst commented about the time of the SMO if I rightly recall. I have a disabled Ipad where many urls and notes are stored. Likely a short between Pad and screen. Sigh. I may be able to find the data on the Mac.

Things Are Not What They Seem

An interview with Petr Cibulka

"I think we are engaged in a fundamental fight as to which side the Czech Republic will join in the up-coming Third World War." -- Cibulka

By Jan Malina

Petr Cibulka was born in 1950 in the city of Brno, in the province of Moravia. As a five-time political prisoner, Mr. Cibulka did hard time in the toughest communist prison camp in Czechoslovakia. He was repeatedly jailed between 1979 and 1989 and conducted a 31-day hunger strike in 1979.

In 1991 Mr. Cibulka began publishing his paper, "Uncensored News," so he could oppose the "official" information blockade organized by the Communists through control of the mass media. In 1992 Mr. Cibulka acquired and published data from secret police files. He published over 200,000 names of communist officers and collaborators. Subsequently he became a target of aggressive attacks from "former" Communist officials.

Mr. Cibulka has had to go through countless police interrogations and home searches. He has suffered numerous court trials because he has named names. The most famous trial involved Czech President Vaclav Havel, who publicly denounced Mr. Cibulka as a shameful disgrace and declared Petr's publication, "Uncensored News," to be "garbage."

Mr.Cibulka, how did you begin fighting against communism, why did you turn against the regime and when did it all begin?

In the beginning of the sixties, when I was 12-years-old, I realized that the communist system was a lie; and since that time I began to take a critical approach to all communist propaganda and "information" that the communists tried to ram down our throats. The Soviet occupation in 1968 escalated matters to a point where I actively started working against all violations of human rights and freedoms done by the communist dictatorship.

I was in the business of digging up prohibited information and circulating prohibited ideas. In 1976 I tried to get in touch with anti-communist groups and succeeded and began working with opposition structures. I was jailed for the first time in 1978 and was in Jail when the theatrical "dismantling" of Soviet-style communism began in 1989. I've spent al together 5 years in communist prisons.

What kind of conditions did you experience in prison ? American readers don't understand thoroughly communist practices. So what were the "living" conditions? Can you tell us something about that?

Conditions in communist prisons cannot be, of course, compared to the ones in democratic countries. We could compare the living standards for example to the Nazi concentration camps. I have spent some serious time in the communist type of solitary confinement -- very cold, with water on the floor, wooden beds, bad quality food and, of course, hunger. Unbelievable hunger. Lights had to be on at all times. Wake up call was at 4 am. Not enough sleep. You had to stand during the entire day at all times when in solitary confinement. It was difficult to stay awake. If you feel asleep or sat down the guards first yelled at you in a rude manner or simply went in and enforced the camps rules with a savage beating. During my second jail term I spent most of my time in solitary confinement. Also, if you disobeyed an order or were a marked man -- you were beaten. Above all, those political prisoners whom the communists couldn't reeducate or compromise were subjected brutal pressure designed to break them at all costs or to terrorize them to the point where they gave up and would never again fight for democracy, human rights or freedom.

After the so-called "Velvet Revolution," the revolution that supposedly overthrew communism in November 1989, I asked many times for justice and the punishment of the communist cadres in power at that time. That would have meant meant a recall from power for all communists and a true public trial for their crimes against innocent people.

I was unpleasantly surprised when I discovered that Vaclav Havel and Civic Forum were against my efforts. That was a real shock to me, and I refused to go along with it. I organized massive protests against the leadership of the country's second largest city (Brno) where I lived at the time. After that I found that Civic Forum stands even more against me and against those who were fighting the communist dictatorship. Civic Forum became a great protector of the communist criminals and cadres that remained in power.

I also realized, very quickly, that the censorship applied to dissidents remained strong. Therefore we put together the "Uncensored News" publication.

How long have you been a journalist and can you tell us something about the STB [secret police] files you've published?

We realized in mid-1990 that it was necessary to start publishing a newspaper so the anti-communists could have a chance to tell the truth publicly and win justice for the victims of communism.

Since the fall of 1990 we tried to publish "Uncensored News" under the auspices of the anti-communist wing of Civic Forum, but that was totally dismantled, liquidated and defeated by the Havel regime. We were unsuccessful. But shortly after that I was contacted by some people from Prague who invited me to begin publishing a true conservative newspaper.

We all agreed on working together and in the spring of 1991 we published the first issue of "Uncensored News" in about 70,000 copies. Our newspaper was then published by-weekly and later as a weekly issue. Unfortunately for Vaclav Havel's "velvet" regime this newspaper was too true and uncensored and was informing people too thoroughly about conditions in the Czech Republic. Our paper debunked many lies widely believed about the November revolution [of 1989] and the fact it was not an anti-communist revolution at all. It was a privatization coup organized by the reform wing of the Russian KGB. It was accomplished in order to install the self-invited "new administration," turning them into the country's rulers and lawful owners. And that was achieved in full measure by the communists, the STB and KGB structures under the leadership of Vaclav Havel. As a result there was a fraudulent privatization of state wealth that in fact ended up in the hands of communist and STB/KGB structures only.

This was shown fully and accurately in 1992 when, by blind luck, "Uncensored News" acquired and published the names of 160,000 officers and collaborators of the communist secret police, STB, and its Second Department (the department charged with the "struggle against interior enemies"). For the first time the people had a chance to read the truth about the level of infiltration and the level of control of this society by communist and STB powers and structures.

How much interest was there from the government and also from the public to publish the communist dossiers? Were there any obstacles put up by the state to block publication?

The public was, from the first day, insisting on a full disclosure and publication of all communist secrets (including those of the Soviet occupation government). Unfortunately, all the people in power, and that means President Havel, and all the others (Vaclav Klaus, Milos Zeman, Dienstbier, Pithart and others) were very strongly against it, against any publishing, against any openings of communist archives, against any punishment of communist criminals to whom they had guaranteed immunity! In fact, punishment was blocked by this "revolutionary bunch" through a "law" rubberstamped by the Czechoslovak Parliament -- a law that in fact guaranteed legal continuity with the previous communist regime. So today it is impossible to bring the communist criminals to justice. You see, the communist dictatorship passed laws so criminal and hideous that when it needed to liquidate people with a different way of thinking and believing it could do so legally. In fact, those who disagreed with the system were punished according to communist laws. Cases where it would've been necessary for the communists to break their own laws in order to punish somebody with different views do not exist.

Could you give us an example of a high-level communist that was let off based on this "legal continuity" law?

All the high level communists, even those who invited the Soviet Red Army to occupy Czechoslovakia in 1968, were found innocent by the courts. They even found Prime Minister Lubomir Strougal innocent. This was a man who held his post for over 20 years and who administered a terror campaign against the opponents of communism and even against differently-thinking communists. In the 1960s he was Minister of Interior, and after the Soviet invasion he became the prime minister of the Soviet-installed government in Czechoslovakia. Really, this man has hundreds of deaths on his conscience: people that he ordered to be thrown in jail or liquidated; and today Havel's "justice" let him go free just a few months ago as totally innocent.

How do you view President Vaclav Havel and his role in the so-called Velvet Revolution?

Havel's family used to be one of the richest families in Prague. They worked very hard and reliably for the Gestapo in World War Two. In 1945, after the defeat of Nazi Germany, Havel's family was not charged with collaborating with the Nazis. Almost immediately, it is believed, they began cooperating with Soviet military intelligence and also the KGB and therefore were protected by the communists.

Vaclav Havel himself signed up with the communist STB and was regarded as a totally reliable cadre. To this day the Communist Party and the secret police do not regret their decision to recruit Vaclav Havel.

Loved the Cibulka link!

I beg to disagree about any Russian ruse directed against the West. Germany, for instance, stopped the new pipeline before Ukraine, which alone indicates prior planning.

There is NO “proxy war” anywhere. China, Russia, and the US and engaged in a concerted effort to enslave their population:

They even “lend a hand” to each other to assist with population control:

However, WW3 can break out on TV (just like the non-existent pandemic), and many will fall for it, especially after a few dirty bombs or worse are set off in major cities (kind of like 9/11). That will explain domestic militarization and martial law, which will ensure full compliance and the deportation of those, who resist.
