What if the betrayers of the democratic West turned out to be a majority?

Lev Navrozov emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1972 He settled in New York City where he quickly learned that there was no market for his eloquent and powerful English language attacks on the Soviet Union. To this day, he writes without fear or favor or the conventions of polite society. He chaired the "Alternative to the New York Times Committee" in 1980, challenged the editors of the New York Times to a debate (which they declined) and became a columnist for the New York City Tribune. His columns are today read in both English and Russian.

Communism is the dream of Marx about a society without private property (except personal belongings like tooth-brushes) and without money, without the government or the police. Everyone takes free what he needs (like salt in a diner) and CREATES in science, technology, and the arts, while all WORK is done by machines.

Early in 1917 the Russian tsar abdicated, the democratic Provisional Government took over, and mass desertion began at the Russian front of WWI. Soldiers deserted with their weapons. According to the Provisional Government, they were deserters to be court-marshaled. According to a new risen politician named Lenin they were heroes who fought against the Òimperialist war.Ó So in November of 1917, the deserters, led by Lenin, overthrew the Provisional Government, and Lenin established his dictatorship, which in 1991, after 73 years of its existence, had no more to do with the Communism of Max than it did in 1917. As of 1991, large-scale means of production were owned by an absolutist ruler or oligarchy, which was anything but new in history, while consumer goods were bought, sold, owned, or used privately, which is nothing new either. Communism was supposed to come, but if the country displayed not a grain of it in 73 years, when could its advent be expected? Anyway, a large section of the population did not like what had developed in 73 years, and Òthe systemÓ collapsed without virtually any resistance.

Those Anglo-American Communists and fellow-travelers who passed secret nuclear data to Stalin's Russia did it because they were afraid that having obtained Òthe atom bomb,Ó the United States would destroy COMMUNIST Russia if the latter did not have Òthe atom bombÓ to retaliate. They were traitors for the sake of Communism.

As I said above, there was not a grain of Communism in Soviet Russia. These traitors projected their beautiful dream of Communism on Stalin's Russia, one of the ugliest societies in recorded history.

To what extent these traitors helped Stalin to obtain Òthe atom bombÓ by 1949 is immaterial. The United States did not attack Russia when the United States had a monopoly on nuclear weapons from 1945 to 1949, and the United States would not have attacked Russia after 1949 even if Russia had had no nuclear weapons.

The United States was not the British Empire, which conquered India, but did not allow Hindus to come and live in Britain. The preemptive conquest of Russia promised to the United States ruinous expenses and grievous troubles. What for? Natural resources, such as gold, were not as valuable as before Adam Smith, who proclaimed that the basis of national wealth is production. Today it is easy to visualize a preemptive U.S. war on Stalin's Russia. Multiply the war in Iraq 10 or 100 times.

So the traitors who passed secret nuclear data to Stalin's Russia were worried for no reason about the U.S. attack on non-nuclear Russia.

Equally absurd is to consider that Russia from 1917 to 1991 was Òleft-wingÓ in contrast to Hitler's National Socialism which was allegedly Òright-wing.Ó Yes, American Òleftists, including Communists, believed in their dream of the leftist Soviet Russia versus the rightist, reactionary, and benighted Nazi Germany. But take, for example, Robert Hanssen, a traitor of the last quarter of the 20th century. By his way of life he was a conservative, a right-winger, a Òpatriot,Ó an exemplary church-goer Ñ and a top official of the FBI. He betrayed the United States to ÒCommunistÓ Russia, and continued to be a spy after 1991 as well.

In the past quarter of a century or so the geostrategic situation of 1939ø1945 has been reversed. In 1939ø1945 it was the United States that was developing a superweapon in the Manhattan Project, while Germany Ñ and then Russia after WWII, were eager to know what the United States had been doing in that field, and Stalin did learn it through a dozen or so Anglo-American traitors, anxious to save their imaginary Communism in Russia from the U.S. reactionaries in possession of Òthe atom bomb.Ó In the past quarter of a century it was first Russia that was developing superweapons from 1970 to 1991, and in 1986 China launched seven ÒManhattan Projects,Ó that is, the development of seven superweapons in seven fields, including nanotechnology. The role of traitors in the United States has been not the passing of secret information about the U.S. Manhattan Project to first Russia and then China (there has been no Manhattan Project in the United States for the development of nano superweapons, such as nanoweapons), but to pretend that such Manhattan Projects did not exist in Russia from 1970 to 1991 and have not existed in China since 1986.

Every column of mine on Òthe China threatÓ evokes many e-mails. All these readers are horrified that I am a voice in the wilderness, and they beg me: ÒKeep up your good work!Ó But these readers are not publicly audible or visible. Yet at least I know that there are true American patriots, even if publicly inaudible and invisible.

Now, what can be said about those who fill the media and publicly display their oblivion of Òthe China threatÓ while talking for years all round the clock about the world danger of Iraq's Òweapons of mass destruction,Ó its future nuclear weapons, and its participation in 9/11?

Those nuclear traitors or the traitor Robert Hanssen did damage to the United States. But those who deliberately do not notice Òthe China threatÓ or sell to the Chinese dictators whatever is necessary for their development of post-nuclear superweapons, including nano superweapons, have been doing a far greater and perhaps fatal damage to the United States and the West in general.

The tragic irony is that their number is not a dozen, as in the passing of secret nuclear data to Stalin's Russia, nor one (Robert Hanssen). They are legion. Possibly a majority of the American people or of the population of all Western countries.

The only analogy is the oblivion of Òthe Nazi threatÓ in the democratic West until Hitler grabbed the ÒrumpÓ of Czechoslovakia in 1939. King Edward VIII of England, who was caught by newsreel cameras giving a Nazi salute, is a worthy symbol of mass treason (or mass insanity) of the democratic West before 1939.

Remember the photographs of 1938 depicting the sea of rapturous humanity flooding the streets of London, and Chamberlain riding through the sea of joy Ñ he had brought Hitler's signature under their mutual obligation to keep Òthe peace in our time.Ó The car carrying the joyous Chamberlain can barely move Ñ the English people want to express their joy to the joyous Chamberlain.

Fortunately for England, Hitler, after he gobbled up France (with the British troops in France running for their lives), invaded Russia and got bogged down.

Otherwise the destiny of Britain could be different and the joy in 1938 would be replaced by the sorrow of the worst defeat in English history.

Even more fortunately for the democratic West, Hitler, instead of concentrating on the development of nuclear weapons, launched a conventional war that absorbed all his resources. Otherwise there could be a poster: one half of it Ñ the Londoners rejoice in 1938 that Hitler has proved once again that he is a champion of peace, and the other half Ñ London and New York after the explosion of Hitler's two Òatom bombs.Ó

Traitors are visualized as lonely individuals. This is a delusion. A nation may be betrayed by its substantial minority, or even by its majority. Mass self-betrayal, so to speak. Mass traitors betray their nation and themselves. They are not put on trial. They are judged by history, and the sentence is mass annihilation or slavery.
