HAIG TO DISCUSS MISSILE WORRIES AT ROME PARLEY

By BERNARD GWERTZMAN, Special to the New York Times

Published: May 2, 1981


WASHINGTON, May 1— Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. flew to Rome today to meet with allied foreign ministers on their concerns about whether the Reagan Administration will be ready to open discussions with the Soviet Union on limiting medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe.

Yesterday a senior West German official said that Bonn wanted the spring meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to obtain from the Americans ''a clear signal for the time frame'' for such negotiations.

Those talks, though they are not likely to produce immediate results, are necessary so that the West German and other European governments can justify the deployment of a new generation of American-built missiles in Europe.

Mr. Haig, according to State Department officials, had sought approval from President Reagan for permission to announce that the talks would start within a month, but as of this morning Mr. Haig had still not received the go-ahead. His aides said, however, that it was possible that he would receive it in Rome before the NATO meeting on Monday and Tuesday.

Haig Concerned About Lebanon

Besides preparing for the alliance meeting, Mr. Haig's chief concern before his departure was the situation in Lebanon. After testifying before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee this morning, Mr. Haig said that the situation in Lebanon, because of the possibility of an increase in Syrian and Israeli fighting, was ''very, very tense.''

Later, the State Department issued a statement saying that the situation had been ''relatively quiet'' in the last 24 hours. ''Governments in many parts of the world have been trying hard and responsibly to assist in calming the tense and potentially explosive situation in Lebanon,'' it said.

As part of the effort, Ambassador Anatoly F. Dobrynin of the Soviet Union met for 35 minutes with Walter J. Stoessel Jr., the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. Mr. Dobrynin told reporters afterward that ''we are doing our share'' to ease the crisis.

Mr. Dobrynin denied reports that Soviet military advisers had accompanied the introduction of Syrian antia@ircraft missiles in Lebanon. Mr. Haig also said this morning that he could not confirm such reports from the Middle East. Worries About 'Wrong Signal'

According to State Department officials, the timing of Soviet-American discussions on medium-range nuclear missiles has become a contentious issue in the Reagan Administration.

The Defense Department is worried about sending the ''wrong signal,'' the officials said, by sitting down with the Russians before the Administration's military and arms control policies have been fully formed.

But the State Department, aware of the political pressures on the West Germans and other Europeans, would like the NATO meeting to serve as a sounding board for an announcement about willingness to hold talks with the Russians soon.

On April 16, during a visit to Washington by Joseph M.A.H. Luns, the Secretary General of NATO, Mr. Haig said that the start of talks with the Russians was a matter ''under active consideration right now, and we'll have something to announce on this subject in the not-too-d@istant future.'' Proceeding on 'Two Tracks'

Mr. Haig made it clear that he believed that the United States was obligated, as the result of a NATO decision in December 1979, to proceed on ''two tracks,'' the deployment of 572 new missiles in Europe and discussions with the Russians on limiting such weapons on both sides.

Before the start of the alliance meeting, Mr. Haig will confer with President Sandro Pertini of Italy and have an audience with Pope John Paul II.

The Secretary will have several meetings with individual foreign ministers and will also confer with the British, Canadian, French and West German Foreign Ministers as a group on questions dealing with resuming talks on independence for South-West Africa, also known as Namibia.

Testifying before the Senate Appropriations subcommittee, Mr. Haig confirmed published reports that the insurgents in El Salvador were receiving arms through new channels, now that Nicaragua has blocked the passage of arms through its territory, but he said that the amount of arms was not substantial.

BUSINESS PEOPLE; United Technologies Calls on Haig Again

Published: September 7, 1982

Alexander M. Haig Jr., the former Secretary of State, has been rehired by his old employer, albeit on a part-time basis. The United Technologies Corporation, one of the nation's biggest industrial concerns, announced yesterday that Mr. Haig, who stepped down as Secretary of State late in June, would act as a consultant and chairman of a soon-to-be-formed International Advisory Committee that will counsel the company on global business policies.

Before his return to Government duty, the 57-year-old retired United States Army general had served as president and chief operating officer of United Technologies from December 1979 until January 1981. That position has remained vacant since his departure.

The diversified aircraft manufacturer, which had $14 billion in sales last year, stressed that the post was a part-time one and not a prelude to Mr. Haig's return as a company officer. The company would not disclose Mr. Haig's salary. He will continue to work in Washington and not out of Hartford, where United Technologies is based. Mr. Haig recently accepted a position as a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute's Washington office.

Harry J. Gray, United Technologies' chairman and chief executive and a takeover specialist, said in a prepared statement that Mr. Haig will be called upon to produce assessments of social, political and economic trends throughout the world. ''Those assessments,'' he said, ''will be critically important to U.T.C. as we plan future growth in world markets.''

The company still relies heavily on Government military contracts and has been looking abroad for growth. About 40 percent of its business flows from foreign markets. Among its products are Pratt & Whitney jet engines, Carrier air conditioners, Otis elevators, Mostek semiconductors and Sikorsky helicopters.

Among Mr. Haig's initial tasks will be to select individuals to serve on the International Advisory Committee and to determine how it will function. He will also advise Mr. Gray on domestic and international business matters.

Before his appointment as president of United Technologies, Mr. Haig had been President Nixon's chief of staff at the time of Mr. Nixon's resignation. More recently, he was supreme commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. He also had considered becoming a candidate for the Presidency in 1980 before deciding against the move.

General Alexander M. Haig, Jr. Speaks on "Facing the Threat from Abroad" (May 21, 1979)

Alternate Title: General Alexander M. Haig, Jr., Supreme Commander of the United States and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), speaks on "Facing the Threat from Abroad," regarding relations with the Soviet Union in the early 1980s

Note: Part 2 starts with two minutes of silence.

Description: General Alexander M. Haig, Jr. speaks at the annual Pepperdine Associates Banquet on May 21, 1979. He discusses the pressure that the Soviet Union is pressing on countries such as Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East with an expectation that this pressure will both increase and expand. Haig encourages the United States to recover from its "post-Vietnam traumatized attitude" and "accept the growing of the Soviet power throughout the world."

Il faut s'intéresser à Michael Ledeen ...

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Ledeen

(...)

En 1974, Michael Ledeen approfondit à Rome ses études sur le fascisme et le terrorisme. En 1977, il rentra à Washington, D.C., pour joindre le Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) affilié à l'université de Georgetown. Il devient alors directeur du Washington Quaterly publié par le CSIS.

Il continue à voyager souvent en Italie, et reconnut lors d'un entretien au Wall Street Journal avoir été salarié en 1980 des services secrets militaires italiens - SISMI en tant que consultant3 — Le SISMI était impliqué à l'époque avec la loge P2 et Gladio dans la stratégie de la tension, durant les années de plomb. Selon Francesco Pazienza, chef du « Super-SISMI », ils montent ensemble le Billygate (en) qui plombe la campagne de Jimmy Carter en révélant des liens entre son frère et le régime libyen 4.

Il devint ensuite le conseiller spécial du secrétaire d'État Alexander Haig en 1981 (Haig était l'ancien chef du SACEUR, le commandement central du SHAPE (l'OTAN) en Europe, qui dirigeait directement le réseau Gladio). De façon intéressante, Michael Ledeen a été, avec Pazienza, l'un des plus ardents propagateurs de la thèse selon laquelle les services secrets bulgares auraient été derrière la tentative d'assassinat du pape Jean-Paul II en 1981 par un membre des Loups gris, Mehmet Ali Ağca. Selon certains, cette théorie aurait permis de détourner l'attention vers le KGB, alors que les Loups gris étaient infiltrés par des agents du réseau paramilitaire Gladio.

Machiavelli on Modern Leadership: Why Machiavelli's Iron Rules Are As Timely And Important Today As Five Centuries Ago





Niccolo Machiavelli, one of the eminent minds of the Italian Renaissance, spent much of a long and active lifetime trying to determine and understand what exceptional qualities of human character-- and what surrounding elements of fortune, luck, and timing-- made great men great leaders successful in war and peace.

In perhaps the liveliest book on Machiavelli in years, Michael A. Ledeen measures contemporary movers and doers against the timeless standards established by the great Renaissance writer. Titans of statecraft (Margaret Thatcher, Francois Mitterrand, Pope John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton); business and finance (Bill Gates); Wall Street and investing (Warren Buffett); the military (Colin Powell), and sports (Michael Jordan) are judged by Machiavelli's precepts on leadership and the proper use of power. The result is a wide-ranging and scintillating study that illuminates the thoughts of the Renaissance master and the actions of today's truly towering figures as well as the character-challenged pretenders to greatness.

A gifted talent scout and teacher, he discovered, in 1944, young Henry Kissinger, whom Kraemer had recruited into Army division. In 1961 Kraemer also discovered Alexander Haig, and in 1969 Kraemer recommended Haig as the Military Assistant to then National Security Advisor Kissinger. Sven Kraemer, Fritz G. A. Kraemer's son, also served in the Nixon-Kissinger National Security Council. Thus Kraemer became the sine qua non of an influential network in President Richard Nixon's White House circle.

From the early 1950s until 1978, when Kraemer retired from civil service, he served as Senior Civilian Advisor to the U.S. Army Chief of Staff in the Pentagon and influenced the Department of Defense during the Cold War. During his time at the Pentagon, he also influenced Secretaries of Defense James R. Schlesinger and Donald Rumsfeld.

A graduate of the U.S. National War College, Kraemer advised, taught, and inspired generations of officers, officials, American Presidents, as well as private citizens.[2]

Kraemer died on September 8, 2003, in Washington, D.C., and was buried with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetery on October 8. He was honored by former Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger and his former students Henry Kissinger and Alexander Haig.[3]

Guerre du Viêtnam

Au coeur des négociations secrètes

De 1970 à 1973, les délégations américaine et nord-vietnamienne se réunissaient dans le plus grand secret, en banlieue parisienne, pour préparer la paix. Une plongée dans l'histoire avec, en prime, des extraits de ces âpres négociations.

21 février 1970, 9 h 30, dans une rue calme de Choisy-le-Roi. Une villa est le théâtre d'une rencontre qui bouleversera le destin des États-Unis et du Viêtnam. Dans le plus grand secret, le conseiller spécial de Richard Nixon et celui de Hô Chi Minh, deux diplomates que tout oppose, discutent pour la première fois d'une possible paix. D’un côté, Henry Kissinger, intellectuel, professeur à Harvard, homme public habitué à la lumière ; de l’autre, Lê Duc Tho, maquisard torturé par les Français, devenu l'un des cadres de la direction du Parti communiste vietnamien. Alors que la guerre redouble d'intensité, ils continueront à négocier pendant trois ans. Après quarante-cinq réunions secrètes dans trois villes de la banlieue parisienne, les accords de paix seront signés à Paris, en janvier 1973.

Du cynisme en diplomatie

Outre l'intérêt de traiter un aspect méconnu – et pourtant primordial – de la guerre du Viêtnam, ce documentaire exhume des extraits sonores inédits des entretiens entre Kissinger et Lê Duc Tho. Ils illustrent la forte tension inhérente à ces négociations mais aussi l'esprit, la ruse et les manœuvres des deux hommes. Par ailleurs, le film donne la parole à Henry Kissinger, qui a accepté de revenir sur cette période pour donner son point de vue, forcément partial mais néanmoins très révélateur.

Ils s'appellent Alexander Haig (affaires étrangères), Caspar Weinberger (défense), Chester Crocker (affaires africaines), Jeane Kirkpatrick (O.N.U.) pour ne citer que quelques-uns, et surtout le triumvirat des conseillers du président parmi lesquels l'extraordinaire Ed Meese III, celui qui a pris la responsabilité de ne pas réveiller le président pendant tout le déroulement de l'incident du golfe de Syrte et que certains journalistes américains appellent dérisoirement « président Meese ». Portés par la vague conservatrice frisant l'extrême droite qui actuellement balaie la nation américaine, ces hommes autour de la soixantaine – le président lui-même a soixante-dix ans–, amis de longue date du président, sont des hommes immensément riches qui ont réussi leur rêve américain.

Ils avaient le pouvoir de l'argent, ils ont maintenant le pouvoir politique. Ils sont arrivés à Washington avec leurs certitudes, leur éthique protestante telle que l'a décrit Max Weber dans son célèbre ouvrage L'Ethique protestante et l'esprit du capitalisme. Pour eux, ils sont riches – équivalents aux Etats-Unis d'avoir réussi – parce qu'ils le méritent, ce qui veut dire que ceux qui sont pauvres le sont parce qu'ils ne méritent pas d'être riches. D'ailleurs ils ne s'en cachent pas.

Dans un article publié en août dernier en première page, Le New York Times décrivait la vie fastueuse que ces républicains menaient dans la capitale[3]. Alexander Haig par exemple possède une villa de 465 000 dollars, Caspar Weinberger une de 707 000 dollars[4]. Lors de l'inauguration du président en janvier dernier, Mme Reagan est arrivée dans la capitale avec une garde-robe de 25 000 dollars dont une robe de 10 000 et un sac à main de 1650 dollars. On sent le luxe partout autour d'eux, voitures, restaurants, joaillerie; quant au président Reagan, ses bottes de cow-boy coûtent 1000 dollars la paire.
