>March 31st, 2003 >Boycott Kasparov! > >The Americans call their military operation “Shock and >Awe”. I am ‘shocked and awed’ today: among the most >ardent supporters of the blood bath in Iraq is Garry >Kasparov. Chess fans and readers, probably, remember >my article “Gazza Will Not Go To Gaza!” posted at this >site in English and posted in Russian by Grandmaster >Valery Salov >http://satyricon20.tripod.com/sat47-hariton-o-gaze.htm. > This was my response to Kasparov’s war-mongering >publication in “Wall Street Journal” in September >2002. I would like to remind my readers that in his >hawkish outburst Kasparov was calling on the US >administration to go ahead, as soon as possible, with >bombing Iraq and murdering the sovereign and peaceful >Iraqi people. To justify his bloodthirstiness, the >ex-World Champion resorted, as every brain-washed >layman, to the dirty doctrine of liberating the Iraqi >nation. Under the disguise of this doctrine he was >also calling on attacking the capitals of other Arab >countries. All this was, according to the ex-Champion, >was to secure the stability of Israel and the United >States. Paradoxically, it is the banks of these >countries that sued Kasparov for squandering the money >they loaned him for the setting up his chess site in >Internet. Certainly, Kasparov was not writing about >this scandal. > >Lies have become the principal stock-in-trade of this >man who was reputed to be years ago the staunchest >Russian democrat. Of course, he was always lying, he >was faking his democracy. It is relevant here to quote >the great American writer Mark Twain: “A lie can go >halfway around the globe before the truth even gets >its boots on”. Lies, lies and lies…This is what we >hear from Kasparov. It is quite to the point to remind >here of Fischer’s answer to the question “Whom do you >consider the greater player in chess history, you or >Kasparov?’. Fischer answered: “How can you compare me >with this crook?” > >In his September article Kasparov predicted the >successful war for the US army, the blitzkrieg the >world had never known before. We remember the Nazi >“blitzkrieg” in Moscow in 1941 when the Germans got >dead frozen near the Russian capital. We know today >how the American “blitzkrieg” will end up in Baghdad! >You may play “blitz” games, Mr. Kasparov, but just >open up your eyes, if you are capable of seeing or >understanding anything, and see the mutilated bodies >of Iraqi children and women. Whom do you represent if >your country, Russia, is unequivocally against this >slaughter in Iraq? > >Being the true servant of the Washington >administration, Kasparov published this month a new >article in Wall Street Journal. It was translated by >the Russian emigrant newspaper in New York “Novoye >Russkoye Slovo”, another mouthpiece of lies, cruelty >and hypocrisy of the American ultra-right butchers. In >this “masterpiece” Kasparov goes into another pro-war >stance cursing all those people who go out today into >streets to protest against crimes and atrocities. The >word ‘pacifist’ has become today, according to >Kasparov and his “friends”, derogatory. They believe >that good are only those who wage new wars and sow the >seeds of hatred and racism. Kasparov glorifies the US >wars in Korea, Vietnam, American bombings of Hiroshima >and Nagasaki. He writes with respect about the Chilean >dictator Pinochet Shall I continue?.. > >As we know, soon Kasparov is going to play a match >with Ponomariov in Argentina. Doubtless, he is going >to play in other chess competitions. I have never been >in favor of boycotting sport competitions on political >grounds. But there is a limit to everything! I cannot >imagine that any honest person today, whether he be a >chess player or not, can shake Kasparov’s hand. I ask >all chess sponsors and chess organizers to boycott >Kasparov’s participation in chess events. The money >you pay him will become dirty by definition. For me it >will be a token of support for crimes and murders, >genocide and another Holocaust in human history. I ask >all chess players and chess fans to think over my >words!
