Those of us who have exited The Matrix are concerned that there are no
checks on Washington’s use of nuclear weapons in the interest of US hegemony
over the world.
Washington and Israel are the threats to peace. Washington demands world
hegemony, and Israel demands hegemony in the Middle East.
There are two countries that stand in the way of Washington’s world
hegemony—Russia and China. Consequently, Washington has plans for preemptive
nuclear strikes against both countries. It is difficult to imagine a more
serious threat to mankind, and there is no awareness or acknowledgment of
this threat among the Congress, the presstitute media, and the general public
in the United States and Washington’s European vassal populations.
Two countries and a part of a third stand in the way of Greater Israel.
Israel wants the water resources of southern Lebanon, but cannot get them,
despite twice sending in the Israeli Army, because of the Lebanese Hezbollah
militia, which is supplied by Syria and Iran. This is why Syria and Iran are
on Washington’s hit list. Washington serves the military/security complex,
Wall Street and the over-sized US banks, and Israel.
It is unclear if the Russians and Chinese understand that Washington’s
hostility toward them is not just some sort of misunderstanding that
diplomacy can work out.
Clearly, Russia hasn’t interfered in the US presidential election or
invaded Ukraine, and does not intend to invade Poland or the Baltics. Russia
let go the Soviet empire and is glad to see it gone, as the empire was
expensive and of little benefit. The Soviet Eastern European empire comprised
Stalin’s buffer against another Western invasion. The Warsaw Pact had no offensive
meaning. It was not the beginning, as misrepresented in Washington, of Soviet
world domination.
I see a lack of clarity about the threat that Russia faces in Russian
media reports and articles posted on Russian English language websites. I see
a lack of clarity in Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov’s continued efforts to
work out an accommodation with Washington. How can Lavrov work out an
accommodation with Washington when Washington intends to dominate or isolate
Russia?
Lavrov and Russian media organizations do not always show awareness that
it is not Washington’s intention to accommodate other national interests.
It cannot be otherwise for these three reasons:
- The budget for the US military/security complex is the
largest in the world. It is larger than the Gross Domestic Product of
many countries. It includes not only the Pentagon’s budget but also the
budgets of 16 US intelligence agencies and the Department of Energy,
which is the location of the Oak Ridge nuclear weapons plant and 16
other national laboratories. When all the elements are added together,
the military/security complex has annually the power and profit from
$1,000 billion. An empire of this sort just doesn’t give up and go away
because some president or some part of the electorate want peace. The
“Russian Threat” is essential to the power and profit of the
military/security complex, about which President Eisenhower warned
Americans 56 years ago. Just imagine how entrenched this power is now.
- The neoconservatives, who control both US foreign policy
and the Western media’s explanation of it, are mainly Jews of Zionist
persuasion. Some are dual Israeli-US citizens. The neoconservatives
believe that the collapse of Soviet communism means that History has
chosen the United States as the socio-politico-economic system, and that
the US government has the responsibility to assert the hegemony of
America over the earth. Just read the neocon documents. They assert this
over and over. This is what it means that America is the exceptional and
indispensable nation. If you are the indispensable nation, every other
nation is dispensable. If you are exceptional, everyone else is
unexceptional. The claim that the neoconservatives make for the US is
similar to the claim that Hitler made for Germany.
- As Israel controls US Middle East policy, Israel uses
its control to have Washington eliminate obstacles to Israel’s
expansion. So far Israel has achieved the overthrow of Saddam Hussein’s
government and chaos in Iraq, Washington’s war on Syria, and
Washington’s demonization of Iran in the hope that sufficient
demonization will justify war.
For the Russian Foreign Minister to believe that it is possible to reach
an accommodation with Washington, other than a Russian surrender, is
nonsense. Perhaps this is Lavrov’s use of diplomacy to delay the US attack
while Russia prepares. Or perhaps Lavrov is just a diplomat who sticks to his
last, despite the facts.
Much of the Russian media, both in Russian and foreign language broadcasts
and websites, thinks that the Western misrepresentation of Russia is just a
mistake and that that facts, once they are established, can rectify the
mistake. These Russian journalists don’t understand that Washington could not
care less about facts. Washington desperately needs an enemy, and Russia is
the enemy of choice.
The Chinese government seems to think that Wall Street and US corporations
are too dependent on the cheap Chinese manufacturing labor, which keeps the
US system fueled with profits, to jeopardize these profits by going to war.
By underplaying the risk of war, Russia and China fail to mobilize world
opposition to Washington’s recklessness and, thereby, enable Washington’s
move toward war.
The presstitutes serving the National Security State continue to drive
toward conflict. Consider Newsweek’s May 26, 2017, cover story with Putin on
the cover and the caption: “The Plot Against America: Inside Putin’s Campaign
to Destroy Democracy in the U.S.”
It is difficult to imagine such ignorant nonsense from a mainstream news
magazine. Democracy in America has been destroyed by special interest groups,
by a US Supreme Court decision that gave the reins of power to special
interest groups, and by a hoax war on terror that has destroyed the US
Constitution. And here we have the presstitutes saying that Putin is
destroying American democracy. Clearly, there is no extant intelligence
anywhere in the Western media. The Western presstitutes are either corrupt
beyond belief or ignorant beyond belief. Nothing else can be said for them.
Consider Time magazine’s cover. It depicts Trump turning the White House
into the foundation for the Kremlin and St. Basil’s Cathedral, which rise
above the White House, symbolizing America’s subservience to Russia under
President Trump. This extraordinary propaganda seems to be readily accepted
by the bulk of the Western populations, peoples who will die as a result of
their insouciance.
Even writers critical of Washington, such as Paul Street’s recent article
on CounterPunch and the English language Russian website, Strategic Culture
Foundation, cannot bring themselves to state the truth that the US
military/security complex needs a major enemy, has elected Russia for that
role, and intends to defend this orchestration to the end of humanity on
earth.
Street writes about “How Russia Became ‘Our Adversary’ Again.” According
to Street, Russia became the enemy of choice because Russia protected part of
the world’s population and resources from being exploited by global capital.
Russia became the number one enemy of the US also because Putin stopped the
American exploitation of Russia economically. Putin is in the way of
Washington’s exploitation of the world.
Much of what Street says is correct, but he is hesitant to state it in a
straightforward manner. He has to dilute his message by repeating the
obligatory propaganda. Street calls Trump, who originally wanted normal
relations with Russia, an “orange-haired brute . . . [who admires] Putin’s
authoritarian manliness.”
Trump’s problems originated in his goal of normalizing relations with
Russia. Hillary is the brute who intended to worsen the relations.
Putin is a democrat, not an authoritarian. The authoritarians are in
Washington. Surely Paul Street and CounterPunch know this. But Street has to
protect himself from speaking some politically incorrect truths about the US
and Russia by throwing in some anti-Putin propaganda and denigrating
President Trump.
That peace with Russia and China would undermine the justification of the
$1,000 billion military/security budget, and that the military/security
complex is the American government, is too much truth for most
writers to state.
Truth is the most rare element in the Western world, and we will not be
permitted to have much of it much longer. Increasingly, truth is difficult to
find. Soak it up while it is still available.
