The West Is Trotting Towards War

2209533423

Junious Ricardo Stanton

Several weeks ago I wrote a commentary entitled Sleepwalking Into More War which provided insights into the West’s maniacal support for the wars raging in Gaza and Ukraine. As time passed the sleepwalk is becoming a trot. Our misleadership class is accelerating the expansion of existing conflicts and opening new theaters of engagement potentially against China.

Wars unlike bar fights just don’t happen spontaneously. There is a progression, there are stages beginning with the belief war and conflict are acceptable means of resolving issues or getting what one wants. This is the mindset of the West. Since the fifteenth century the West has engaged in wholesale wanton plunder, rapine and expropriation justified by noble sounding verbiage like: spreading Christianity to the heathens, civilizing the savages, bringing freedom democracy and enlightenment to the world and similar lies.

The European movers and shakers provided emotional and material incentives and inducements to their cannon fodder to make them march or sail off towards whatever conflict, invasion or prize they coveted. Tribal and ethnic pride, religious fervor, claims of doing god’s work saving the world, making it safe for democracy or rallying the yahoos to avenge some slight or to retaliate against an attack on them were some of the tactics they used. And in many cases, the leaders pulled off a cunning false flag operation to jump start hostilities. At any rate war was already a top priority they just needed to provide a pretext and rationale to get the party started.

We are seeing the same things in Ukraine and Palestine. The US fomented a coup d’etat in Ukraine in 2014 which ultimately led to the rise of a Jewish comedian named Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the position of president five years later. Zelensky was supported by the US and Azov Battalion, Neo Nazis who were actively bombing Donetsk and Donbas regions for years because the residents there wanted to reunite with Russia who they were culturally and ethnically related to.

Ukraine was universally recognized as a corrupt nation and the Biden crime family had their grubby hands deep in the corruption. When Russia intervened at the behest of the Donbas citizens the West went ballistic. Crimea had already overwhelmingly voted to rejoin the Russian Federation but the West spun it as a forced or coerced annexation.

This was part of their ongoing Putin/Russia demonizing campaign. The US/NATO axis of insanity was pissed that Putin derailed their attempts to topple the Syrian government and do to that nation what they did to Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.

In addition to imposing sanctions on Putin and Russia, which are deliberate acts of war, the Axis of Insanity set out to militarily buttress Ukraine’s clown president. But this has failed, Ukraine is loosing the war, so now the West has given the green light to their clown Zelenskyy to use Western weapons to directly attack Russian territory. The West is selling weapons, providing tactical support and “advisors” in this wasted war effort. Now Germany, Britain and the US have recently moved towards implementing universal conscription or national service programs meaning military drafts! The sleepwalk is escalating to a trot.

In Palestine Benjamin Netanyahu cavalierly and dismissively crossed Biden’s red line blatantly defying him and bum rushing Rafah, effectively thumbing his nose at Biden making him look like a punk! In addition Israel has stepped up its cross border clashes in Southern Lebanon and its tit for tat attacks on Iran. Meanwhile no one, not the UN, not the Pope, not the G7 have moved to check the Israelis on their aggression and warmongering.

The sleepwalk is turning into a trot. The pace is quickening towards more direct engagement and confrontation between the West and Russia. Yet the corporate media vigorously supports it all and spins it as: defending democracy, fighting Russia aggression and justified Israel defense rather than what it really is: war profiteering, corporate greed, immorality, genocide and ethnic cleansing.

We have seen the willingness of the US government to pour money into the Military Industrial Technology Security State sinkhole and this trend is not going to subside any time soon. In fact it will increase along with preparations for conscription, logistics, war gamesmanship and saber rattling. Look at all the joint military exercises the US/NATO axis and the Russians and Chinese are conducting. This is the equivalent of two dogs growling, barking and baring their teeth at each other before they actually start fighting. Sometimes the bluff works sometimes they end up fighting.

The misleadership in both US political parties are hellbent on war, they don’t even mention the word peace, and by Golly they are going to have their wars somewhere. Sadly unless there is a major repentance the trot will break out into a full sprint towards full blown war. We have to wake up and stop pretending not to know what is going on!

Are False Beliefs Setting Us Up For Destruction?

Junious Ricardo Stanton

As we look around the world today we discover challenges to our reality, our belief systems and the values we profess to hold dear. America says it stands for freedom, justice, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness but as a global hegemon the US is directly responsible for massive human exploitation, suffering, privation, misery and death! These are the direct consequences of the American Empire’s greed, callousness and immorality. This hubris is pervasive yet because of ubiquitous mind control and brainwashing most Americans are not even aware this country is an imperialist giant. Most are oblivious to the fact America has a global network of military bases and spends more than several nations combined to maintain them. Somnambulant Americans think the almost eight hundred known foreign military and drone bases and many more top secret installations in seventy plus nations exist to protect freedom and democracy!

In addition to their military overreach the US is actively engaged in numerous proxy wars using intermediaries and entities like NATO they fund and equip to do their dirty work in places like Ukraine and Yemen. Ukraine is becoming a humongous sinkhole for US war profiteering and kickbacks in support of a corrupt Ukrainian government that is a boon for the US military industrial technology hydra. Their goal aside from making huge profits is to undermine Russia and bring that nation to heel. Recent decisions to allow Ukraine to escalate direct attacks on Russian soil using Western weaponry are not only idiotic they will have horrific consequences.

On the other hand the US misleadership finds itself in a conundrum due to its total support of an obvious ethnic cleansing campaign by Israel against the Palestinians, the real Semites of the region. The optics of this carnage belie Israel’s claim they are fighting a defensive war in an effort to secure release of Israeli hostages taken in the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack; an attack which appears was allowed to happen by Israeli security forces so Israel could commence ethnic cleansing against the people of Gaza.

The US claims Israel is our only ally in the region, an ally who shares this nation’s democratic values. But is this really true? The reality is the United States is an oligarchy ruled by an elite group not ordinary citizens who represent and exercise the will of the people. A Princeton and Northwestern Universities study by Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page concluded the US is ruled by influential elites and special interest groups who set the agenda and policies for the government.

Election campaigns whose costs prohibit the average person from running for state, national and even some local public offices makes a mockery of the claim this is a government of the people by the people or for the people. Special interests, big money and the oligarchs actually control this country and set its policies. The executive, legislative and even judicial branches and their regulatory agencies have been captured, are beholden to and taken hostage by big money interests. Elections and voting merely provide the illusion we have a say in the governance process.

For example most rational people would opt to spend their hard earned tax dollars here at home rather than pouring trillions to prop up corrupt and genocidal governments that provide no benefit to us whatsoever while enriching defense contractors and warmongers to the detriment of humanity!

Israel is an apartheid state, none of the Ashkenazim who occupy the territory and rule the country are Semites. They are converts to Judaism who have marginalized other Jews who have a longer claim to the religion than they do. They are not the true descendants of the ancient Hebrew Israelites and Judeans.

Historically ancient Israel was never a powerful or significant entity in the region, it was always in the shadows of larger more powerful nations and empires like the Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians and Babylonians.

Evangelical Christians support Israel even though the Jews reject their Messiah because they believe the Ashkenazim are the Israelites of the Bible and they are Yahweh’s chosen people; who in some convoluted way through war, tribulation and upheaval will usher the return to earth of Christ! So they uncritically support the modern genocide in Palestine just like they go along with the Biblical stories of the Hebrew’s genocide and ethnic cleansing to expropriate the “Promised Land” from the indigenous peoples. They never question the narrative or ask why a supposedly all knowing, just god would order “his people” to do such a thing?

Meanwhile simultaneously the US is provoking China over Taiwan and the South China Sea island disputes among China, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia. This is insane, nevertheless the misanthropes who run this nation seem hellbent on provoking a major war somewhere on this planet. Their hubris and psychopathy will be their ruin.

Our false beliefs are taking us down a slippery slope which could lead to a real Armageddon “end times” scenario. Unless saner heads prevail and this appears unlikely, the US and its acolytes will find themselves eyeball deep in multiple wars they cannot possibly win. Why is it no one sees this coming?

Sleepwalking Into More War

Junious Ricardo Stanton

Over the past few months we’ve witnessed the United States collaboration with a brutal campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine specifically Gaza and Rafah. Israel’s heavy handed response to an Hamas attack which is extremely suspicious in terms of it being a total surprise to Israel security forces are indisputable war crimes. Denying civilians of Gaza, clean drinking water, cutting off electric power, blocking humanitarian aid and food, deliberately bombing hospitals and refugee shelters and the indiscriminate targeting of civilian infrastructure are crimes against humanity no matter what the pro-Zionist corporate media says! No amount of rationalization, obfuscating, disinformation and gaslighting are going to alter the fact Israeli ethnic cleaning campaign is a crime against humanity.

University students generated massive media coverage by their protests, demonstrations and their demands for peace and disinvestment from Israel are a stark contrast to the decidedly pro-Israeli legacy media’s unabashed support of the ongoing carnage.

However, the student demonstrations have taken the spotlight off of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine which is draining vital resources and taxpayer funds that could be better used here in America to rebuild outdated crumbling infrastructure, subsidize the construction of affordable housing and strengthen existing public safety nets.

Both Ukraine and Israel are siphoning critical resources but more importantly they are contributing to this nation’s rapid degeneration into a mass consciousness of rabid militarism and all war all the time. We are destroying our minds and souls with incessant war profiteering and human carnage. We are validating Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1967 declaration,”the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today, is my own government.” For his truth and pacifism King was murdered by a collaboration of government forces.

We have been down this road before yet the Biden administration and the whole congress are totally committed to the stupidity of supporting a corrupt Ukrainian regime unwilling to admit it is losing the war and has virtually no chance of turning the situation around. Nevertheless the US is not only spending exorbitant sums of taxpayer money we cannot afford, the US misleadership and their European allies and vassals are hellbent on keeping these wars going, eschewing peace negotiations and aggressively prodding and enabling the Ukrainian misleadership into attacking inside Russian territory using Western weapons! There are increasing calls by US and European politicians and NATO spokespersons for Ukraine to directly attack targets in Crimea and Russia.

Do these imbeciles actually think Russia is going to stand passively by and allow that to happen? I don’t think so. Is NATO that insane? Have they no shame? Are they that callous they don’t care about the global consequences of their decisions, or is their real agenda massive war, death and carnage? Based upon what we have seen the past year the Ukrainian war is a disaster which will not turn out well for Ukraine or NATO.

Simultaneously Israel is determined to wiping Gaza off the map and in a classic tail waging the dog scenario, Israel keeps the US and UK governments in its grip by using bribery, extortion, honey traps and the baseless canard of antisemitism to achieve their objectives. Thankfully college students recognize warmongering and genocide when they see it. Unfortunately too many of us older folks are too somnambulant to see what is going on and have allowed the media and the government to gaslight us into acquiescing to genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Where are the sane people, where are the good people, where are the people who see the road this nation is traveling will lead to escalating global disaster, slaughter, suffering and possible collapse? Have we been so cow-towed and punked by the warmongers we are unwilling to stand up for peace, be counted for doing what is right and having the courage of our convictions? Where are the people who worship the man who said, “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God”? Where are those who say they abhor violence, war and killing? When will they speak up?

We are sleepwalking into an expanded era of conflict, war and death. Will we wake up in time before it’s too late? The United Kingdom is planning to re-institute conscription, a mandatory national service for males 18 years old and up. Germany is reportedly considering conscription also. Is this a step towards forcing young men into military service? Will this spread to the other Five Eyes partners Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the US or other NATO members?

I don’t think conscription will go over well in the US, the military is already struggling to meet their quotas with a volunteer system. The only way it would fly is it used as a way to fast track immigrants to US citizenship. Unless we snap out of our dormancy we will find ourselves face to face with a real time war, not the proxy wars our leaders have been fighting.

Mission Creep Towards All Out War

Junious Ricardo Stanton

As we observe world events we are witnessing alarming trends and patterns that do not bode well for the prospects of peace and stability. The immediate blimps on the global radar are the Ukraine-Russian conflict, Israel’s genocidal assault on the Palestinians and the Yemen Houthi attacks on shipping lanes in the strategic Red Sea targeting ships heading for or supportive of Israel. Each one of these conflicts is inching towards a tipping point that could easily lead to further escalation, spiraling totally out of control, given the war mongering mindsets of the parties involved.

In most wars the largest causalities are civilians; innocent men women and children not directly engaged in the fighting. In Gaza alone the main causalities have been civilians, hospitals, non military targets which by international law and moral standards are war crimes. “Fresh evidence of deadly unlawful attacks in the occupied Gaza Strip, gathered by Amnesty International, demonstrates how Israeli forces continue to flout international humanitarian law, obliterating entire families with total impunity. The organization carried out an investigation into four Israeli strikes, three in December 2023, after the humanitarian pause ended, and one in January 2024, that killed at least 95 civilians, including 42 children, in Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost governorate at a time when it was supposedly the ‘safest’ area in the strip, but where Israeli forces are currently gearing up for a ground operation. Such an operation will likely have devastating consequences for more than a million people who are crammed within an area of 63 km2 following successive waves of mass displacement. In all four attacks, the organization did not find any indication that the residential buildings hit could be considered legitimate military objectives or that people in the buildings were military targets, raising concerns that these strikes were direct attacks on civilians and civilian objects and must therefore be investigated as war crimes.” https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/02/israel-opt-new-evidence-of-unlawful-israeli-attacks-in-gaza-causing-mass-civilian-casualties-amid-real-risk-of-genocide

Israel has denied water and cut off fuel supply lines, food and humanitarian aid supplies to the Palestinians, which is clearly a war crime! Even the optics of the ongoing war are proving Israel has lost whatever moral ground it may have had following the October 7, 2023 attacks by Hamas, which in and of itself is questionable given Gaza is one of the most monitored and surveilled areas in the world! https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/10/30/israel-palestine-gaza-hamas-war-idf-high-tech-surveillance/

In Ukraine the Western media continuously promotes the canard Russia’s Special Military Operation is an unmitigated imperialist attack on an innocent country. The fact is Ukraine is one of the most corrupt places on the planet and the US spent over five billion dollars to topple the duly elected government of that country in 2014. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957 We are not being told by the US media sock-puppets that the neo-Nazi element within the Ukrainian government was waging an eight year war against break away provinces who subsequently asked Russia for help and Russia responded. https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/opinion/the-war-on-donbas:-why-we-must-all-stand-against-fascism.

There are other issues we are being kept in the dark about but I haven’t the time nor the space to address them now. My primary concern is that in all of these situations the United States government, using our tax dollars is actively supporting the oppression, murder and genocide in Gaza and Ukraine; to the tune of billions of dollars not for our benefit or safety but the bottom line of US predatory capitalists. “Billions of dollars of profit for shareholders is to be made from selling American gas to Europe indefinitely. Billions of dollars are to be made by shareholders from selling weapons of mass destruction to Ukraine and possibly other former Soviet Union nations now in NATO, indefinitely. 

Billions of dollars of profit for shareholders are to be made from selling financial services loans to a failing Ukrainian government indefinitely. For America, the war in Donbas is no more than a vehicle to create profit with the bonus of further marginalising and isolating Russia in a continued economic war of global dominance.”

The War on Donbas: Why we must all stand against fascism. By Fra Hughes https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/opinion/the-war-on-donbas:-why-we-must-all-stand-against-fascism,

Israel is also a huge beneficiary of US largess in the form of weapons and money .”The United States has quietly approved and delivered more than 100 separate foreign military sales to Israel since the Gaza war began Oct. 7, amounting to thousands of precision-guided munitions, small-diameter bombs, bunker busters, small arms and other lethal aid, U.S. officials told members of Congress in a recent classified briefing. The triple-digit figure, which has not been previously reported, is the latest indication of Washington’s extensive involvement in the polarizing five-month conflict even as top U.S. officials and lawmakers increasingly express deep reservations about Israel’s military tactics in a campaign that has killed more than 30,000 people, according to Gaza’s health authorities. Only two approved foreign military sales to Israel have been made public since the start of conflict $106 million worth of tank ammunition and $147.5 million of components needed to make 155 mm shells. Those sales invited public scrutiny because the Biden administration bypassed Congress to approve the packages by invoking an emergency authority.” US floods arms into Israel despite mounting alarm over war’s conduct by John Hudson https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/03/06/us-weapons-israel-gaza/

NATO is sleep walking into a wider conflict as they continue to send weapons, materials and soldiers to Ukraine. Russia has warned French president Macron French soldiers will be a prime target if they enter the war on Ukrainian soil. Putin allies tell Macron: Any French troops you sent to Ukraine will suffer fate of Napoleon’s army, by Andrew Osborn https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-allies-tell-macron-any-french-troops-you-send-ukraine-will-suffer-fate-2024-02-28/ . Threats and counter-threats are not the best ways to resolve a tense situation, hopefully saner heads will prevail, but don’t count o n it. Mayhem, murder and genocide are being waged in our name by our government to profit warmongers, eugenicists and land grabbers! Are you comfortable with this?! If not, what are you going to do about it? If you say you are for peace, what are you doing to slow down or halt the creep to all out war/ all war all the time?! As Gil Scott Heron sang in his song Working For Peace, “We’ve got to work for Peace Peace ain’t coming this way If we only work for Peace If everyone believed in Peace the way they say they do. We’d have Peace. The only thing wrong with Peace is that you can’t make no money from it. The Military and the Monetary. They get together whenever they think its necessary. They’ve turned our brothers and sisters into mercenaries. They are turning the planet, into a cemetery… So this is a song about tomorrow. And about how tomorrow can be better. if we all ‘Each one reach one, Each one teach one.’ Nobody can do everything but everybody can do something. Everyone must play a part. Everyone got to go to work, Work for Peace. Spirit Say Work, Work for Peace. If you believe the things you say, go to work. If you believe in Peace, time to go to work. Can’t be wavin your head no more, go to work”

Do what you to make peace a reality. Make up your mind to hit them where it hurts the most their bottom lines: boycott Israeli products, stop supporting media and video games that promote war. Boycott Ukrainian products, find out where the wheat in our baked goods comes from and if its from Ukraine stop buying it until the war is over! Speak up/out demand your elected officials stop funding wars, think for yourself make up your own mind to choose truth over lies and peace over war!

Hyping War

From The Ramparts

Hyping War

 

“Of course, there are elements of ‘nothing new’ here. The Romans undoubtedly had their version of war porn that involved mocking the Gauls as sub-humans. Yet in twenty-first-century America, where wars are undeclared and Washington dependent on volunteers for its new foreign legion, the need to keep the public engaged and filled with fear over our enemies is perhaps more acute than ever. So here’s a question: if the core propaganda messages the U.S. government promoted during World War II are nearly identical to those pushed out today about the Islamic State, and if Hollywood’s war films, themselves a particularly high-class form of propaganda, have promoted the same false images of Americans in conflict from 1941 to the present day, what does that tell us? Is it that our varied enemies across nearly three-quarters of a century of conflict are always unbelievably alike, or is it that when America needs a villain, it always goes to the same script?” War Porn Hollywood and War Propaganda From World War II to American Sniper by Peter Van Buren http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/03/american-sniper-world-war-ii-propaganda-movie-hollywood

 

We are targets of constant brainwashing, programming and conditioning designed to make us go along with the endless imperial wars that benefit the ruling plutocrats and the military industrial complex. They own the monopoly mass media and the corporate mind control apparatus operates at their behest for their class interests and profit. The campaign is working quite effectively thank you, as the United States has become enmeshed in an Orwellian world promoting such justifications and rationale that say:  war is peace, murder is liberation, plunder is good, ecocide is natural, fascism is democracy etc.

We are witnessing the transformation of this country into something eerie, deadly and dangerous. We are experiencing the complete Nazification of the United States, the metastasizing of imperial over reach and moral rot to the point the US is seen as the pariah of the world. “As the year 2013 drew to an end, the BBC reported on the results of the WIN/Gallup International poll on the question: ‘Which country do you think is the greatest threat to peace in the world today?’ The United States was the champion by a substantial margin, winning three times the votes of second-place Pakistan. By contrast, the debate in American scholarly and media circles is about whether Iran can be contained, and whether the huge NSA surveillance system is needed to protect U.S. security. In view of the poll, it would seem that there are more pertinent questions: Can the United States be contained and other nations secured in the face of the U.S. threat?

In some parts of the world the United States ranks even higher as a perceived menace to world peace, notably in the Middle East, where overwhelming majorities regard the U.S. and its close ally Israel as the major threats they face, not the U.S.-Israeli favorite: Iran.” The Greatest Threat To World Peace by Noam Chomsky http://inthesetimes.com/article/16227/the_greatest_threat_to_world_peace_is_the_united_states. The following year in 2014 the Gallup International poll ranked the United States the number one threat to world peace. http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/03/2014-gallup-international-poll-us-1-threat-world-peace.html

But you probably never hear about any of this.  Americans live in a bubble of disinformation, deceit and distractions designed to bamboozle and obfuscate us and dictate our perceptions and view of reality. So naturally the masses are unaware of how the world sees us because we are living in a real live Matrix that glorifies war and makes US militarism seem like anything but imperial overreach and hubris. “In a sense, there are only two operative words in twenty-first-century Washington: more and war.  In this context, there really is just one well-policed party of thought in town.  It matters not a whit that, under the ministrations of that ‘party,’ the Pentagon and the rest of the national security state have grown to monstrous proportions, even though American war and security policies don’t have a significant success to their name… You could, in fact, think of these last 13 years in Washington as a sweeping, all-encompassing experiment in modern warfare.  The denizens of that city now live in an eternal ‘wartime,’ while from Pakistan to Libya across the Greater Middle East and now much of Africa, U.S. military personnel are eternally engaged in a range of wars, war-like activities, and preparations for future conflicts, while the skies are filled with U.S. planes and drones.

At a moment when war seems to be the only go-to option (other than sanctions) in the U.S. foreign policy tool box and a high official can even talk about declaring war on scattered deranged individuals, the results of this military-first global strategy should be considered definitively in.  Since 9/11, it has led to a series of well-publicized failures of the first order without a single genuine success, not one instance where anything like a goal Washington set was actually met.  Yet a military-first policy remains the unquestioned, unchallenged option of choice and the military budget is largely sacrosanct even for a budget-cutting Congress.” More and War by Tom Engelhardt http://aep.typepad.com/american_empire_project/2015/01/more-and-war.html

The people of this country are primed, programmed and conditioned to accept and acquiesce to an all war, all the time, war at all costs mentality. It’s like the only tool in the ruling oligarchs’ possession is a hammer so they treat everything like a nail. The corporate media does the bidding of its owners the one percent who rule this country. It programs us to be afraid because fear is the primary tool used by “leaders” to manipulate the public. “When it comes to the US mainstream media, the entire corporate hairball has been largely responsible for perpetuating terrorism in the absence of the genuine article. One of the ways they do this is by broadcasting threats – by doing this, the media are playing into the hands of those who truly hate our freedoms – who reside not in caves in Afghanistan, or some mythical al Qaeda training camp in Pakistan – but rather in the boardrooms of certain corporations in the military-industrial-media complex, the Pentagon, the intelligence services and in the federal government itself. It doesn’t require bombs and bullets to terrorize a nation… all it takes is a media that promotes the threat of such, whether real or imaginary. In the wake of 9/11, that infamous false flag operation designed to shock and awe the public into allowing the administration of the day to do whatever it wanted, the public remain edgy, confused, and very easily led by the nose. In its exploitation of fear-for-profit, the media have become increasingly militarized. Take CNN’s highly visible “Security Clearance” section as an example… with subsections headlines entitled, for example ‘Living With Terror’. Well, the terror is largely a creation of the media themselves, marketing to a captive audience that has been weaned on fear. The public, on hearing news of ‘impending attacks’, are rendered powerless. What can anyone do about hearing this kind of single-sourced propaganda every day on the radio and TV, as promoted by the likes of Fox News, CNN at al? Nothing. All we can do is ether switch off the flow of verbal diarrhea and get on with our lives, or we can wallow in fear. Unfortunately, the US public are very media dependent – the television, or should that be ‘view screen’, plays a large part in the family life.” http://wot-on-earth.blogspot.com/2012/05/cnn-peter-bergen-and-us-corporate-media.html

Every major US sporting event has military presence, the military are praised and hyped in television and motion pictures like they are an indispensible aspect of our existence as a nation, yet when it comes time to reward them for being cannon fodder in the ruling oligarchs imperialist wars, the powers that be gleefully kick them to the curb. We need to keep this in mind as more wars, additional “military/police actions” and “humanitarian interventions” are launched around the world by the CIA, US military and their  UK, EU and NATO go along lapdogs.

The US leadership has gone mad, totally insane and is provoking Russia in a manner that can only lead to two eventual outcomes: either Putin and Russia back down and allow the US to take their lunch money (put more NATO weapons on their borders), or a regional/global conflagration between the US/UK/NATO and Russia jumps off which will likely turn nuclear!

If you question what I’m predicting ask yourself why is the US corporate media demonizing Putin and suppressing the US’s role in the Ukrainian coup d’état, http://www.alternet.org/world/americas-coup-machine-destroying-democracy-1953  ?  Why isn’t the monopoly media telling us the thugs in Kiev the US is backing are Neo-Nazis who openly talk about war with Russia http://english.pravda.ru/news/world/22-01-2015/129594-ukraine_russia_declares_war-0/?  Why is the US sending weapons, advisors and troops to bolster these sociopaths’ war against their own people in the South eastern region of Ukraine to deliberately undermine the ceasefire brokered by Germany, France and Russia?

Finally if you don’t think the US is on a war footing to reinvigorate and ramp up hostilities against Russia, ask yourself why you haven’t heard any domestic or foreign peace activists discuss this issue in the corporate owned media including NPR?!  The US corporate media is hyping war all over the globe; don’t believe the hype!
