Level 1: The biggest structure infront of india are the terrorist outfits / jehadis. they are in to a direct engagement with us and they are the primary fighting force( forget the term" proxy fighter..that's a term used by god damn policymakers). They are not the brains - but are the foot soldiers to carry out a mission without question. Lashkar e Taiba, various factions of Taliban, Jaish e Mohammad, Harkat-Ul-Ansar, Jammat-E-Islami etc form the first layer. Their leaders are akin to the "head" of the dolls. Think of these organizations as giving the "biggest bang for the buck" - hence they are the biggest doll that we see. Some of us think that "surgical" strikes against these "Level 1" actors will solve India's problems. But that is actually far from truth. How are these terrorist organisations getting funds. Goverments and Intel agencies claim that the bank accounts have been frozen, opium trade has been stopped , then how the hell are these terrorists getting money to buy arms,ammunitionand modern equipments like military grade GPS, Rangefinders and military explosives and detonators. Not to forget the advanced military training they are getting to handle sophisticated weaponry and ammunition.
Level 2: ISI & Pakistan Army. They remain and work behind Level 1 players but are the actual "brains-on-theatre" and "logistical arm". Al Qaeda moves in between Level 1 & 2, depending on the “country of attack”. For India, they are in Level 1 and subservient to ISI. They provide necessary training and logistic support for the jihadis and terrorist cells.They formulate "theatre-strategies" which are then executed by level 1.
Level 3: This has to be Michael Vickers .I am sure not many people have heard about this person.It's not your fault. He likes to keep a low profile. But that doesnot decrease the amount of influenence he has on this issue. He brings in his vast resources to increase / decrease levels of insurgency in Pakistan / Afghanistan / Kashmir. He was the paymaster of the Afghan Mujahideens during Soviet occupation and the major arms suppliers to covert groups for covert operations. He retains a first name basis relationship(very important) with many of these mujahideens who are now in control of different factions of Taliban. As recently as Feb 2008, he was instrumental in “Doubling” the size of Pakistan SSG Commandos. His actions have a direct bearing in the region.
Michael G Vickers
If there is one man responsible for the defeat of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan that led to its subsequent break up – it is Michael Vickers. Hence, this individual reserves the right to be included as an individual – though he brings with him his vast resources.(Note: The Pakistan terrorists were trained by SSG Commandos and (retd.) Major of SSG Alavi was shot dead last month because he was going to expose links of SSG Generals with Taliban.) Actually Vickers is an ex-army green beret from US Army's Special Forces(SF).In mid-1980s he was involved in the arming of mujahideens against the soviet forces. He was the head military strategist for the U.S. and coordinating an effort that involved ten countries and providing direction to forces made up of over 500,000 Afghan mujahideens. Later he was Senior Vice President, Strategic Studies, at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA), during which he provided advice on Iraq strategy to President Bush and his war cabinet. In July 2007 he was confirmed by the US Senate as Assistant Secretary of Defense, where he is the senior civilian advisor to the Secretary of Defense on such matters as counter-terrorism strategy and operational employment of special operations forces, strategic forces, and conventional forces. In 2004, he wrote an Op-Ed piece for USA Today in which he stated that the United States can be successful in Iraq by using a much smaller force modeled on success in Afghanistan. One "Afganistan" created taliban and Osama, Imagine what will happen if he creates another Afganistan. He is an asset to US, no dobt about that. Hes not some politician who doesnot know what is happening or what needs to be done.He's an green beret. He knows how to use weapons and how to use soldiers. He has got ground experinces in africa and asia. He 's a serious strategist who thinks beyond nations. For us He's a dangerous man.
Level 4: This would comprise CIA / MI6 and a host of other myriad intelligence arms of Anglo-American empire. This level also embodies the different arms of the government of these countries. This includes NSA etc. These people actually formulate execution strategies that may /may not pass through Vickers. To complicate matters, there are intelligence agencies of Iran, Russia etc in the region whose aims and objectives run counter to the Ango-American ones, but they too end up cultivating “jehadi groups” to sow dissention or harm interests of Anglo – American empire in the region. Since they do not affect Indian interests “directly” – i have not included them. Thsese are high level players and work behind m
any layers of state laws and diplomatics agreements and coalitions.
Level 5: The smallest doll but the most dangerous - the one who thinks “through” it all. Again these are a myriad of think tanks, uber secret groups. Let me just take one name – Bilderberg Group. These people are the “thinkers” who strategize a scenario which is future “win win” for the Anglo American empire. Once the scenario has been chalked out – the mission plan is handed down to Level 4 and then onwards. Thses are business groups that drive the economy and goverments of capitalist and partial monarch goverments. Level 5 creates a scenario which is passed over to level 4 and then a strategy is formulated.

Note: All this is not seamless and not all planning comes from Level 5. Also there are many important “players” outside the ambit of classification given above, but to maintain simplicity, they can be included in any of the 5 Levels mentioned above. (Eg: Crime / Drug syndicate of Dawood to help in logistics, gun running etc etc).There are independent plans at Level 2 too which are carried out by Level 1, completely out of the ambit of Level 5 / Level 4.Hence, when an operation happens in India by Level 1 player (eg: LeT), it is important for India to find out whether the planning originated at Level 2 (which is then localized and a local response will be enough) or did it originate at Level 4 or 5 (which would bind India’s arms – and India should then quickly ascertain the motive of Level 4 / 5 players).Two players who are completely dependent and do not work alone are Level 1 & Level 3. None of these (Level 1 & Level 3) mount any “strategic” strikes without being given the “green signal” from Levels above it.Taking out Level 1 (surgically or otherwise) will not matter as Level 2 will breed other clones to take place of lost Level 1 “foot soldiers”. To solve India’s problem, Level 2 needs to be “eradicated” or its capabilities “seriously impaired”.India does not have the leverage to deal, currently, with Levels 3, 4 and 5. However, India should be alert to the game plan of Level 4 & 5 and watch the “movements” of Level 3 (i.e.Vickers and his covert team). Any flurry of activity by Level 3 in the region will give a “whiff” of major action in the region. India must realize the game plan of Level 5 players only.One of the major rationales for involvement of Level 5 in the region has been discussed in the Great Game. Level 5 wants Anglo American business empire to be entrenched in Central Asia and they are not budging from Afghanistan. India needs to know whether the plans for Mumbai attacks originated at Level 2 or were it a Level 5 operation? Whether or not it was a Level 5 operation, does not “absolve” Levels 1 & 2 whose aim to dismember and maim India remains firm as ever. Now, dismembering India is not in the interest of Levels 3,4 & 5. Keeping that in mind, we must get to see what is driving Level 4 / 5 (if they are involved) and if so why?
