June 24, 2017 "Information Clearing
House" - On June 21 the editorial board of the Washington Post, long a
propaganda instrument believed to be in cahoots with the CIA and the deep
state, called for more sanctions and more pressure on Russia. One second’s
thought is sufficient to realize how bad this advice is. The orchestrated
demonization of Russia and its president began in the late summer of 2013 when
the British Parliament and Russian diplomacy blocked the neoconned Obama
regime’s planned invasion of Syria. An example had to be made of Russia before
other countries began standing up to Washington. While the Russians were
focused on the Sochi Olympic Games, Washington staged a coup in Ukraine,
replacing the elected democratic government with a gang of Banderite neo-nazi
thugs whose forebears fought for Hitler in World War II. Washington claimed it
had brought democracy to Ukraine by putting neo-nazi thugs in control of the
government.
Washington’s thugs immediately began
violent attacks on the Russian population in Ukraine. Soviet war memorials were
destroyed. The Russian language was declared banned from official use.
Instantly, separatist movements began in the Russian parts of Ukraine that had
been administratively attached to Ukraine by Soviet leaders. Crimea, a Russian
province since the 1700s, voted overwhelmingly to seperate from Ukraine and
requested to be reunited with Russia. The same occurred in the Luhansk and
Donetsk regions. These independent actions were misrepresented by Washington
and the presstitutes who whore for Washington as a “Russian invasion.” Despite
all facts to the contrary, this misrepresentation continues today. In US
foreign policy, facts are not part of the analysis. The most important fact
that is overlooked by the Washington Post and the Russophobic members of the US
government is that it is an act of insanity to call for more punishment and
more pressure on a country with a powerful military and strategic nuclear
capability whose military high command and government have already concluded
that Washington is preparing a surprise nuclear attack. Are the Washington Post
editors trying to bring on nuclear armageddon? If there was any intelligence
present in the Washington Post, the newspaper would be urging that President
Trump immediately call President Putin with reassurances and arrange the
necessary meetings to defuse the situation. Instead the utterly stupid editors
urge actions that can only raise the level of tension.
It should be obvious even to the
Washington Post morons that Russia is not going to sit there, shaking in its
boots, and wait for Washington’s attack. Putin has issued many warnings about the
West’s rising threat to Russian security. He has said that Russia “will never
again fight a war on its own territory.” He has said that the lesson he has
learned is that “if a fight is unavoidable, strike first.” He has also said
that the fact that no one hears his warnings makes the situation even more
dangerous. What explains the deafness of the West? The answer is arrogance and
hubris. As the presstitute media is incapable of reason, I will do their job
for them. I call for an immediate face-to-face meeting between Trump and Putin
at Reykjavik. Cold War II, begun by Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama, must be
ended now. So, where is President Trump? Why is the President of the United
States unable to rise to the challenge? Why isn’t he the man Ronald Reagan was?
Is it, as David Stockman says, that Trump is incapable of anything except
tweeting? Why hasn’t President Trump long ago ordered all intercepts of Russian
chatter gathered, declassified, and made public? Why hasn’t Trump launched a
criminal prosecution against John Brennan, Susan Rice, Comey, and the rest of
the hit squad that is trying to destroy him? Why has Trump disarmed himself
with an administration chosen by Russiaphobes and Israel?
As David Stockman writes, Trump “is up
against a Deep State/ Dem/ Neocon /mainstream media prosecution” and “has no
chance of survival short of an aggressive offensive” against those working to
destroy him. But there is no Trump offensive, “because the man is clueless
about what he is doing in the White House and is being advised by a cacophonous
coterie of amateurs and nincompoops. So he has no action plan except to
impulsively reach for his Twitter account.” Our president twitters while he and
Earth itself are pushed toward destruction.
