Are Western propagandists fooling anyone but themselves?
The latest absurdity coming out of Ukraine, the EU and Washington is
that the humanitarian aid that Russia and the Red Cross are trucking
into the former Russian territories that comprise eastern Ukraine is a
trick, a deception, a pretext for Russia’s invasion forces. Such a
preposterous lie tells us that Western propagandists have no respect
whatsoever for the intelligence of Western peoples.
Even a moron should understand that if Russia wants to send military
forces into Ukraine, Russia doesn’t need any pretext, much less a joint
humanitarian venture with the Red Cross. The eastern Ukraine, following
Crimea’s lead, has already voted both independence from Kiev and in
favor of rejoining Russia. If Russia needed an excuse, the decisions by
the eastern Ukrainians made months ago suffice. But Russia needs no
excuse to rescue Russians from being slaughtered by Washington’s stooges
like Palestinians in Gaza.
By its inaction, the Russian government is providing Washington’s
vassal states in Europe time to comprehend that Washington, not Russia,
is the problem, and that Washington intends for the cost of its conflict
with Russia to fall on Europeans.
The opposition from Washington, Washington’s EU vassals, and
Washington’s stooges in Kiev to the inflow of humanitarian aid is due to
the West’s desperate attempt to keep the world from knowing about the
massive destruction by Washington and its stooges of civilian lives,
housing, and infrastructure in those former Russian territories who are
directly threatened by the Russophobic extremists that Washington has
installed in power in Kiev.
The Western presstitute media has added yet another failure to its
long inglorious history by failing to report the atrocities inflicted on
a people who see no future for themselves in a country ruled by
murderous Russophobic criminals installed in power by Washington.
The demented NATO generals, Pentagon chief, and US senators are
spreading hysteria about a looming Russian invasion not only of Ukraine
but also of the Baltics, Poland, indeed, all of Europe. This hysteria
is engulfing the West despite the total lack of evidence of any sign
whatsoever of Russian preparations or motives for such invasions. The
lie is being spread by Washington that Putin intends to reconstitute the
Soviet Empire. This is the same Putin who had the former Russian
province of Georgia in his hands and let it go.
Washington’s propaganda is working. Polls reveal that a majority of
Americans, who should be awake by now after being lied to about
Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Syria, and Iran, have again, in their
infinite gullibility, fallen victim to the propaganda and regard Russia
as a threat.
Among the misinformed and propagandized American population, the
question of the day is: “How are we going to stop the Russians?” Thus
has the corrupt and deceitful Obama regime again prepared Americans for
war.
The hope for peace is that the Russian counter-sanctions, a response
to the sanctions against Russia that Washington forced its European
vassals to implement, will end up falling on the deluded American
taxpayers. The Polish government has demanded that Washington purchase
the apples and agricultural products that Washington has made impossible
for Poland to sell to Russia. As Poland is Washington’s choice for the
US missile base directed at Russia, the Polish government has leverage.
Once Washington gives in to Poland, Washington will be faced with
similar demands from hard-hit Greece and Austria and from the rest of
Europe to compensate Europeans for the costs that Washington’s sanctions
have imposed on its vassal populations.
The fraud perpetuated on the world by the United States in the 21st
century is extraordinary. Nothing comparable has ever been witnessed in
history. Not only are there the frauds of the numerous wars
(Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, almost Iran and
Washington’s illegal military actions within the borders of Pakistan and
Yemen, but also the vast financial frauds perpetuated on the world.
Among the costs of Wall Street’s frauds are the European debt crisis,
the infringements of national sovereignty of European countries by the
IMF bailouts of sovereign debt, and the impoverishment of “rescued”
Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland, along with Eastern Europe.
One day the Europeans will wake up. When they do, they will realize
that Washington does nothing for them except to protect them from a
non-existent “Russian threat,” while imposing dramatic costs upon them
by employing Europeans as levies in Washington’s war for hegemony over
the world. Sooner or later Europeans must realize that this role
assigned to them by Washington is not in their interest and leads
directly to World War III in which Europeans will be the first
casualties.
