Luke Harding probeert Russiagate en de manipulatie van Trump te bewijzen met onzin argumenten en zogenaamde feiten...

Luke Harding is de schrijver van het boek: 'Collusion: Secret Meetings, Dirty Money, and How Russia Helped Donald Trump Win', ofwel deze fantast heeft een heel boek geschreven over de zogenaamde hulp van Rusland voor Trump...........Harding heeft in de titel van zijn boek de woorden 'dirty money' gebruikt, die had hij beter kunnen gebruiken voor het kopen van de VS presidentsverkiezingen door de grote bedrijven!!

Russiagate, een complottheorie waarmee men stelt dat Rusland Putin het presidentschap zou hebben bezorgd, is uit en te na met bewijzen van het tegendeel de grond in geschreven, maar dat deert Harding blijkbaar niet, nee hij gaat verder met deze en andere leugens dat Putin Donald Trump onder de duim zou hebben gehouden en zo diens beleid t.a.v. Rusland zou hebben gemanipuleerd, dit heeft hij in een boek gedaan en in een artikel in The Guardian..... Lullig genoeg propageert niet alleen The Guardian deze leugen, maar zoals al zo vaak op deze plek opgemerkt: zo ongeveer de hele westerse massamedia....... Het is voor deze media, die al lang niets meer met onafhankelijke journalistiek te maken hebben, dan ook zaak om eerdere leugens niet te rectificeren, maar te blijven herhalen en zelfs elke nieuwe leugen die de eerdere leugens levend houden te omarmen, sterker nog:deze media komen zelf maar al te vaak met nieuwe leugens over deze zaak..... Dit gaat niet alleen op voor de manipulatie van Trump, maar voor vele andere zaken.....

Misschien is er één uitzondering op het voorgaande en dat is de illegale oorlog tegen Irak, niet dat men nu stelt dat deze oorlog onterecht was, echter de vuile leugen over de massavernietigingswapens die het Iraakse bewind van Saddam Hoessein zou hebben gehad (de hoofd reden voor die illegale oorlog), wordt niet meer herhaald, niet voor niets daar deze wapens niet werden gevonden, iets dat VN wapeninspecteur Blix al ruim voor die oorlog aan iedereen heeft uitgelegd die het maar horen wilde...... Nee men stelt nu onomwonden dat deze oorlog terecht was omdat daarmee 'het verschrikkelijke bewind' van Hoessein werd beëindigd, zonder te melden hoeveel Irakezen werden vermoord in deze illegaal door de VS gevoerde oorlog: 2,4 miljoen!!* Veel meer doden dan door de terreur van Hoessein zijn gevallen.....

Harding schreef dus ook een artikel in The Guardian over de Russische manipulatie van Trump, een nieuwsmedium dat zo af en toe nog met een onafhankelijk bericht komt en daarmee bijvoorbeeld terechte kritiek uit**, echter met het boek en artikel van Harding wordt weer eens korte metten gemaakt met elke onafhankelijkheid....... Zelfs al heb je je niet verdiept in Russiagate en de andere leugens over Russische manipulatie van het VS regeringsbeleid, moet je toch kunnen zien dat Trump allesbehalve een vriend was van Rusland en Putin in het bijzonder: Trump voerde een veel harder beleid tegen Rusland dan zijn voorganger Obama en zijn opvolger Biden nu (al was Biden eerder ook verantwoordelijk voor het beleid t.a.v. Rusland, daar hij vicepresident was onder Obama). Alleen al de sancties die Trump tegen Rusland invoerde zijn een bewijs van de grote vijandigheid van de Trump administratie t.o.v. Rusland...... 

Een voorbeeld in het verlengde van het voorgaande is de aanleg van de Nord Stream 2 (NS2) gaspijpleiding van Rusland naar Duitsland: onder Trump werden de bedrijven die hier aan meewerkten bedreigd met sancties, de Trump administratie voerde de druk op Duitsland steeds verder op te stoppen met dit project, terwijl Biden deze pijpleiding nu als een gegeven ziet (plork Blinken, de huidige VS minister van BuZa, sputterde dit jaar nog een paar keer tegen, maar daar bleef het bij)

Caitlin Johnstone schreef een artikel over deze zaak, daar de media in de VS en Groot-Brittannië de leugens van Harding brengen als zou men definitief bewijs hebben dat Trump niet alleen het presidentschap won door machinaties van Rusland, maar ook dat Putin Trump zou hebben gechanteerd met kennis over Trump die hem zouden hebben beschadigd bij openbaring...... ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Vraag: waarom heeft Putin die dan niet gebruikt toen Trump Rusland steeds meer sancties oplegde ???!!! Kortom gelul van een dronken aardbei!!

Reken gerust dat de leugens van Harding binnenkort in ons land zullen worden aangehaald, immers ook hier houden de reguliere media en politiek de leugen levend dat Putin Trump de verkiezingszege bracht en hem zou hebben gemanipuleerd, waarbij men elk zogenaamd bewijs daarvoor gretig publiceert respectievelijk ventileert, daar men dondersgoed weet dat men deze leugens heeft gebracht maar dat niet wil toegeven.... Dat Harding leugens vertelt in zijn boek en het Guardian artikel wordt nog eens duidelijk uitgelegd in het schrijven van Caitlin:

Luke Harding’s Continued Employment Discredits All Western Media

by Caitlin Johnstone

 

Listen to a reading of this article:

Collusion author Luke Harding continues to receive mainstream traction authoring stories which generate headlines in influential media outlets around the world promoting his theory that Trump conspired with the Kremlin, despite the fact that both he and his theory have been completely and utterly discredited many times over.

The Guardian has published an article co-authored by Harding on "what are assessed to be leaked Kremlin documents" which "suggest" that Russian officials had a conversation which delivers "apparent confirmation that the Kremlin possesses kompromat, or potentially compromising material, on the future president."

"The paper refers to 'certain events' that happened during Trump’s trips to Moscow," says Harding with his two co-authors. "Security council members are invited to find details in appendix five, at paragraph five, the document states. It is unclear what the appendix contains."

"Russia’s three spy agencies were ordered to find practical ways to support Trump, in a decree appearing to bear Putin’s signature," the article reads, adding, "Western intelligence agencies are understood to have been aware of the documents for some months and to have carefully examined them. The papers, seen by the Guardian, seem to represent a serious and highly unusual leak from within the Kremlin."

Note the highly qualified language, an ever-present phenomenon in the thinly sourced Russiagate stories we were inundated with throughout the entirety of Trump's presidency: "suggest", "assessed to be", "apparent", "appearing to", "seem to".

Also note how Harding and company do not know what's in the appendix referenced which supposedly elaborates on their most incendiary claim.

Also note how "Western intelligence agencies" are the authoritative sources behind these claims.

Beyond this, the actual document provided by The Guardian has come under scrutiny for containing numerous linguistic errors unlikely to have been made by native Russian speakers.

Then there's the little itty bitty problem that the president who the authors claim was beholden to the Kremlin via kompromat was indisputably far more hawkish toward Moscow than both the president who preceded him and the president who replaced him. If Kremlin intelligence did indeed compromise Trump with blackmail, a claim for which the Mueller investigation found no evidence, then it was a very poor investment indeed as it clearly had no impact on US foreign policy.

But the most damning evidence of all against this claim is the fact that serial fabulist Luke Harding had anything to do with it.

This is after all the same reporter who authored The Guardian's notorious 2018 claim that Trump crony Paul Manafort had meetings with Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian embassy, an evidence-free claim that was clearly false from the moment it was published and discredited even further by the fact that the Mueller investigation found no evidence for it. The same author who was involved in publishing a WikiLeaks password which led to unredacted documents becoming public. The same author who was humiliatingly incapable of substantiating his allegations of Trump-Russia collusion when he finally encountered an interviewer who challenged him to defend the titular claim in his book, Collusion.

Luke Harding should not be able to find employment anywhere more influential than the far side of a cashier's counter, yet here he is still getting his ridiculous stories published by one of the most influential news media outlets in the English-speaking world.

Given legitimacy by The Guardian's publication, other western media are picking up this transparently bogus story and hyping it through the roof, from the Daily Beast headline "Reported Kremlin Leak Appears to Confirm Existence of Trump ‘Kompromat’" to the Forbes headline "Trump Kompromat Claimed: Kremlin Documents Reportedly Show Putin Conspiring For Billionaire" to the Raw Story headline "'The pee tape is real': Critics claim Kremlin leak confirms 'every awful thing said about Trump ends up being absolutely true'".

These articles will generate plenty of clicks, and they will make sure mainstream liberals maintain their virulent hatred of Russia. What they will not do is help anyone form a truth-based worldview.

If you needed any more proof that western media does not exist to tell you the truth about the world, there you go. The news in our society exists not to create an informed populace but to preserve partisan worldviews which protect the interests of the imperialist oligarchic class.

Waarom de burgers van de VS de illegale oorlogen steunen

Big Brother, ofwel deepstate, inclusief media en politiek, zorgt ervoor dat de burgers in de VS nog het meest begaan zijn met de invasies van de VS elders, illegale invasies, het begin van de illegale oorlogen die de VS voert tegen landen waar het niets, maar dan ook helemaal niets te zoeken heeft.

De enorme berg leugens die de VS al heeft gebruikt om haar grootschalige terreur te legitimeren, wordt er als het ware door de reguliere massamedia ingestampt bij de bevolking..... Het gaat intussen al zover dat er een 'feitenchecker'* is ingesteld, te weten Politifact, dat is een platform waar veel VS burgers 'hun licht opsteken' over het gaande nieuws. Wat die burgers niet weten is dat die 'feitenchecker' in feite is geïnstalleerd om de leugens in de reguliere media, van meer gewicht te voorzien, zodat iedereen die leugens gelooft en blijft geloven......

Voor alle leugens over de illegale VS oorlogen die de reguliere media brachten over Afghanistan, Irak, Libië en Syrië, heeft bij mijn weten niet één mediaorgaan een rectificatie gemaakt, alsof het de normaalste zaak is te blijven liegen en dat over oorlogen waarin alleen deze eeuw al 2,5 miljoen mensen werden vermoord...... Het is dan ook niet vreemd dat miljoenen in de VS en de EU nog steeds geloven dat Saddam Hoessein massavernietigingswapens had, terwijl dat aantoonbaar niet zo was..... 

Het smerige is dat met een beetje 'geluk' deze leugens in de geschiedenisboeken worden opgenomen, waar al een fiks aantal leugens is te vinden (neem bijvoorbeeld nogmaals de leugens over de aanvallen van de VS en haar oorlogshond de NAVO op Afghanistan, Irak, Libië en Syrië....)

Eric Zuesse heeft een artikel over o.a. het voorgaande geplaatst op Strategic Culture Foundation, waarin hij uitgebreid op deze zaak ingaat. De VS als politieagent van de wereld, i.p.v. de werkelijkheid waarin de VS de grootste terreurentiteit op onze kleine aarde is en waar deze vereniging van terreurstaten sinds WOII al meer dan 22,5 miljoen mensen heeft vermoord.........

Voorts wijst Zuesse op de VN, een orgaan dat VS president Roosevelt (overigens ook een oorlogsmisdadiger) graag installeerde, waar hij dit orgaan zag als een toekomstige onafhankelijke wereldmacht en niet een door een staat als de VS geleid orgaan, dat overal waar het haar uitkomt een oorlog begint en waar een niet volgzame houding t.o.v. de VS al voldoende is, om als land in de gevarenzone te komen.........

Niet voor niets ook dat Zuesse Oekraïne aanhaalt en de enorme leugens die daarover al zijn geventileerd, waar het zeker is dat de VS ingreep met een door de CIA georganiseerde opstand (op initiatief van Hillary Clinton, destijds minister van BuZa in de VS), die moest eindigen in de coup tegen de democratisch gekozen regering Janoekovytsj, alleen omdat deze regering vriendschappelijke banden had met Rusland........ (de kosten voor deze operaties in Oekraïne hebben de VS belastingbetalers maar liefst 4 miljard dollar gekost.....) Voorts kon daarmee de gaslevering van Rusland aan West-Europa worden getorpedeerd, zodat dit deel van Europa haar gas in de VS zou gaan kopen........ 

Vandaar ook dat de achterlijke boerenlul Hoekstra, VS ambassadeur in Nederland en kopstukken in de VS (waaronder Trump) een grote bek hebben tegen de EU over het door laten gaan van Nord Stream 2 (NS2), waarmee Russisch gas via een pijpleiding door de Oostzee richting Duitsland zal worden vervoerd...... Er gaan zelfs stemmen op in de VS om de EU en dan m.n. Duitsland daarvoor te straffen.......

Pete Hoekstra, VS ambassadeur in Nederland, met zijn typische 'intelligente blik'

Dan dien ik nog op te merken, dat de titel de lading niet dekt,, immers ook wij worden dagelijks voorgelogen en dat over dezelfde grootschalige westerse terreur in gebieden als het Midden-Oosten, dit o.l.v. de VS, terreur die door de reguliere media, ook in ons land, wordt voorgesteld alsof we daar liefdewerk doen.......

Zuesse merkt verder op dat het militair-industrieel complex oorlogen nodig heeft (oké, een open deur), ofwel de VS heeft vijanden nodig zodat de winsten van de wapenindustrie, inclusief die voor rollend, varend en vliegend oorlogstuig, kunnen blijven groeien....... Uiteraard is het dan nodig dat het volk achter deze illegale oorlogen van de VS staat en daar ligt 'een mooie taak' voor de 'onafhankelijke' reguliere massamedia, die hun werk uitermate grondig doen: het hersenspoelen van de VS burgers en hen opzetten tegen de 'vijanden' van de VS, die zogenaamd een gevaar vormen voor de staatsveiligheid van de VS........ (of men stelt gewoon dat een bepaald land zoals eerder Irak [en Noord-Korea] de wil en de middelen heeft om de VS direct aan te vallen; te belachelijk voor woorden, zoals je begrijpt)

Lees het artikel van Zuesse en geeft het door, tijd dat men ontwaakt uit de consucoma en de hersenspoelstand van de reguliere media!

How Big Brother Grips Americans’ Minds to Support Invasions

ERIC ZUESSE | 08.12.2018 | WORLD / AMERICAS

On November 29th, Gallup headlined “Democrats Lead Surge in Belief U.S. Should Be World Leader” and reported that “Three-fourths (75%) of Americans today think the United States has ‘a special responsibility to be the leading nation in world affairs,’ up from 66% in 2010. The surge is driven by Democrats, whose belief in this idea has increased from 61% eight years ago to 81% now.” This finding comes even after the lie-based and catastrophic U.S. invasions of Iraq in 2003, and of Libya in 2011 (and of so many others, such as Afghanistan, where the U.S. and Sauds created the Taliban in 1979). Americans — now even increasingly — want ‘their’ (which is actually America's billionaires’) Government to be virtually the world’s government, policing the world. They want this nation’s Government to be determining what international laws will be enforced around the world, and to be enforcing them. Most Americans don’t want the United Nations to have power over the U.S. (its billionaires’) Government, but instead want the U.S. Government (its billionaires) to have power over the United Nations (which didn’t authorize any of those evil, lie-based, U.S. invasions). 

Not only would doing this bankrupt all constructive domestic functions (health, education, infrastructure, etc.) of the U.S. federal Government, but it would also increase the global carnage, as if the U.S. Government hasn’t already been doing enough of that, for decades now.

The leadership for this supremacist craving comes straight from America’s top, not from the masses that are being sampled by the Gallup organization, who only reflect it — they are duped by their leaders. Here is how U.S. President Barack Obama (a Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2009, for nothing at all but his ‘kindly’ but insincere verbiage when he had been a candidate) stated this widespread delusional American belief in American global moral supremacy, when addressing the graduating class at West Point Military Academy, on 28 May 2014: 

The United States is and remains the one indispensable nation. [Every other nation is therefore ‘dispensable’; we therefore now have “Amerika, Amerika über alles, über alles in der Welt”.] That has been true for the century passed and it will be true for the century to come. … America must always lead on the world stage.

This had certainly not been the objective of U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt when he set up the U.N. just before his death in 1945; he instead wanted the U.N. to evolve into a democratic government of the world, with elected representatives of each and every one of the world’s governments — to evolve into becoming the global international republic — regardless of whether or not the U.S. Government approves or disapproves of another nation’s government. The idea on which the U.N. was founded was not to involve the U.S. Government in the internal affairs of other nations, not to be the judge jury and executioner of other governments that it doesn’t like, nor to dictate what other nations should or should not do within the given nation’s boundaries. FDR intended that there instead be democratically represented, at the U.N., each and every nation, and each and every people within that global government, where each of these national governments is (hopefully but not necessarily) a democracy. FDR was just as opposed to dictatorship internationally, as he was opposed to dictatorship nationally, and he recognized that inevitably some governments will disapprove of other governments, but he was deeply committed to the view that a need exists for laws and law-enforcement between nations, on an international level, and not only within the individual nations, and that each nation is sacrosanct on its own internal laws. He respected national sovereignty, and opposed international empire. (This was his basic disagreement with Winston Churchill, then, and with American leaders such as Obama and Trump now.) Unlike President Obama (and evidently unlike the vast majority of today’s Americans) FDR didn’t want this international government to be an American function, but instead an entirely separate international governmental function, in which there is no international dictatorship whatsoever — not American, and not by any other country. He knew that this is the only stable basis for international peace, and for avoiding a world-annihilating World War III. 

Barack Obama rejected FDR’s vision, and advocated for the United States as being (and even as if it already had been for a century) virtually the government over the entire world, which “must always lead on the world stage.” Adolf Hitler had had that very same international vision for his own country, Germany, “the Thousand-Year Reich,” but he lost World War II; and, then, when FDR died, Hitler’s vision increasingly took over iHoen America, so that ideologically, FDR actually lost WW II, when Harry S. Truman took over the White House and increasingly thereafter, until today, when the U.S. commits more invasions of foreign countries than do all other nations in the world combined. Americans (apparently, as shown in this and other polls) like this, and want more of it. Nobody else does. For example, nobody (except the U.S. and Saudi and Israeli aristocracies and their supporters worldwide, which are very few people) supports the U.S. regime’s reinstitution of sanctions against Iran, which the U.S. regime is imposing as the global dictator. America’s economic sanctions are like spitting into the face of FDR, who had opposed such imperialistic fascism in the more overtly military form when Hitler’s regime was imposing it. It’s also spitting at the U.N.

This latest Gallup finding displays an increase, but nothing that’s at all anomalous as compared to the decades-long reality of imperialistic U.S. culture. For decades now, Gallup’s polling has shown that the most respected of all institutions by the American people is the nation’s military — more than the church, more than the Presidency, more than the U.S. Supreme Court, more than the press, more than the schools, more than anything. America is invasion-nation. This is true even after the 2003 invasion of Iraq on the basis of blatant lies, which destroyed Iraq — a nation that had never invaded nor even threatened to invade the United States. The American people are, resolutely, bloodthirsty for conquest, even after having been fooled into that evil invasion, and subsequent decades-long military occupation in Iraq, and after subsequent conquests or attempted conquests, in Libya, Syria, Yemen, and elsewhere — all destroying nations that had never invaded nor even threatened America. Why? How did this mass-insanity, of evil, come to be?

How is this aggressive nationalism even possible, in America’s ‘democracy’? It’s actually no democracy at all, and the public are being constantly fooled to think that it is a democracy, and this deception is essential in order for the public to tolerate this Government, and to tolerate the media that lie for it. This widespread deceit requires constant cooperation of the ‘news’-media — and these are the same ‘news’-media that hid from the public, in 2002, that the U.S. Government was outright lying about “WMD in Iraq.”

The public simply do not learn. That’s a tragic fact. Largely, this fact results from reality being hidden by the ‘news’-media; but, even now, long after the fake ‘news’ in 2002, about the U.S. regime’s having possessed secret and conclusive evidence of “Saddam’s WMD,” the published ‘history’ about that invasion still does not acknowledge the public’s having been lied-to at that time, by its Government, and by the ‘news’-media. So, the public live, and culturally swim, in an ongoing river of lies, both as its being ‘news’, and subsequently as its having been ‘history’. This is why the public do not learn: they are being constantly deceived. And they (as Gallup’s polls prove) tolerate being constantly deceived. The public do not rebel against it. They don’t reject either the politicians, or the ‘news’-media. They don’t demand that the American public control the American Government and that America’s billionaires lose that control — especially over the ‘news’-media.

Honesty is no longer an operative American value, if it ever was. That’s how, and why, Big Brother (the operation by the international-corporate billionaires) grips Americans’ minds to support foreign Invasions. Americans support liars, and it all comes from the top; it’s directed from the top. It is bipartisan, from both Democratic Party billionaires and Republican Party billionaires. National politicians will lose their seats if they disobey.

A good example, of this Big-Brother operation, is America’s Politifact, the online site which is at America’s crossover where ‘news’ and ‘history’ meet one-another. It’s controlled by billionaires such as the one who founded Craigslist. Millions of Americans go to Politifact in order to determine what is true and what is false that is being widely published about current events. The present writer sometimes links to their articles, where I have independently verified that there are no misrepresentations in an article. But, like the ‘news’-media that it judges, Politifact is also a propaganda-agency for the (U.S.-Saud-Israeli) Deep State, and so it deceives on the most critically important international matters. An example of this occurred right after the U.S. regime had overthrown in February 2014 in a bloody coup the democratically elected Government of Ukraine, and replaced it by a rabidly anti-Russian racist fascist or nazi Government on Russia’s doorstep, a regime that was selected by the rabidly anti-Russian (but lying that it wasn’t) Obama regime. This Politifact article was dated 31 March 2014, right after over 90% of Crimeans had just voted in a referendum, to rejoin Russia, and to depart from Ukraine, which the Soviet dictator had transferred them to, separating them from Russia, in 1954. (None of that history of the matter was even mentioned by Politifact.) The Politifact article was titled “Viral meme says United States has 'invaded' 22 countries in the past 20 years”, and it was designed to deceive readers into believing that “Russia’s recent annexation of Crimea” reflected the real instance of “invasion” that Americans should be outraged against — to deflect away from America’s recent history as being the world’s actual invasion-nation. This propaganda-article said nothing at all about either Crimea or Ukraine except in its opening line: “A Facebook meme argues that Americans are pretty two-faced when it comes to Russia’s recent annexation of Crimea.” It then proceeded to document that the exact number of American invasions during the prior 20 years wasn’t 22, and so Politifact declared the allegation “false” (as if the exact number were really the entire issue or even the main one, and as if America’s scandalous recent history of invasions were not).

So, it’s on account of such drowning-in-propaganda, that the U.S. public not only respect what U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower derogatorily called the “military-industrial complex,” but respect it above even the U.S. Presidency itself, and above all other U.S. institutions (as Gallup’s constant polling demonstrates to be the case).

Here’s the reality: The same group of no more than a thousand super-wealthy Americans control both the United States Government and the weapons-manufacturing firms (such as Lockheed Martin), which are the only corporations whose only customers are the U.S. Government and its chosen allied governments. So, these few people actually control the U.S. Government’s foreign relations, and foreign policies. They create and control their own markets. This is the most politically active group of America’s super-rich, because they own America’s international corporations and because their business as owners of the military ones is military policy and also diplomatic policy, including the conjoining of both of those at the CIA and NSA, including the many coups that they (via their Government) engineer. They also control all of the nation’s major news-media, which report international affairs in such a manner as to determine which foreign governments will be perceived by the mass of Americans to constitute the nation’s ‘enemies’ and therefore to be suitable targets for the U.S. military and CIA to invade and conquer or otherwise “regime-change” — such as have been the lands of North Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, North Korea, Yemen, Venezuela, etc., at various times. The weapons-manufacturers won’t have any markets, at all, if there are no ‘enemy’ nations that are deemed by the public to be suitable targets for their weapons. ‘Enemy' nations, and not only ‘allies’ (or ‘allied’ nations), are necessary, in order for the military business to produce the most profits. Overwhelmingly, if not totally, the chosen ‘enemies’ are nations that have never invaded nor even threatened to invade the United States; and, so, in order to keep this Government-funded business (the war-profiteering and associated international natural-resources extractions businesses) growing and thriving, what’s essential is continuing control over the nation’s ‘news’-media. As Walter Lippmann wrote in 1921, “the manufacture of consent” is an essential part of this entire operation. It happens via the media. Even Germany’s Nazis needed to do that. Any modern capitalist dictatorship (otherwise called “fascism”) does. The U.S. regime, being a capitalist dictatorship, certainly does. Physically, Hitler lost, but his ideology won, he won even as nazism (racist fascism) instead of merely as fascism, and this racism is shown because the U.S. regime is rabidly racist anti-Russian (not merely anti-communist), and has been so for at least a century. (Maybe it’s what Obama actually had secretly in mind when he said “That has been true for the century passed and it will be true for the century to come.” And Trump is no less a liar than Obama, and he continues this aim of ultimately conquering Russia.) They say they’re only against Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin, but Putin shows in all polls of Russians, even in non-Russian polls, to be far more favorably viewed by Russians than either Barack Obama or Donald Trump are viewed by Americans. This is why regime-change-in-Russia is increasingly becoming dominated by U.S. economic sanctions and military, and less dominated by CIA and other coup-organizers. The actual dictatorship is in America, and it requires participation by its ‘news’-media. Demonizing ‘the enemy’ is therefore crucial. It is crucial preparation for any invasion.

The United States Government spends at least as much money on its military as do all of the other governments in the world combined. Its ‘news’-media (that is to say, the media that are owned by, and that are advertised in by, the corporations that are controlled by, the same small group of billionaires — America’s billionaires — who fund the political campaigns of both the Democratic Party’s and the Republican Party’s nominees for the U.S. Congress and the Presidency) may be partisan for one or the other of the nation’s two political Parties, but they all are unitedly partisan for the international corporations, such as Lockheed Martin, that America’s billionaires control, and that sell only to the U.S. Government and to the foreign governments that are allied with the U.S. Government. They also are partisan for the U.S.-based oil and gas and mining international corporations, which need to extract at the lowest costs possible, no matter how much the given extractee-nation’s public might suffer from the deal. “Three-fourths (75%) of Americans today think the United States has ‘a special responsibility to be the leading nation in world affairs,’” and the actual beneficiaries of this mass-insanity are the owners of those U.S.-based international corporations, the military and extraction giants.

Anthony Cordesman, at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, headlined on 15 August 2016, “U.S. Wars in Iraq, Syria, Libya and Yemen: What Are The Endstates?” and he said, “Once again, the United States does not seem to be learning from its past. The real test of victory is never tactical success or even ending a war on favorable military terms, it is what comes next.” But he ignored the main reason why these invasions had occurred. America’s weapons-manufacturers won’t have any markets, at all, if there are no ‘enemy’ nations that are deemed by the American public to be suitable targets for their weapons. Cordesman is there calculating success and failure on the basis of the myths (such as that the U.S. Government cares about those “Endstates”), not of the realities (that it craves targets). The realities focus upon the desires of the owners and executives of the weapons-manufacturers and the extraction-firms, for ongoing and increased profits and executive bonuses, and not on the needs of America’s soldiers nor on the national security of the American people. Least of all, do they focus upon the needs — such as the welfare, freedom, or democracy — of the Iraqi people, or of the Syrian people, or of the Libyan people, or of the Yemenite people. It’s all just lies, PR. Those invasions served their actual main functions when they were occurring. “The Endstates” there are almost irrelevant to those real purposes, the purposes for which the invasions were, and are, actually being done.

Here’s an ideal example of this mass mind-control: On 19 November 2017, Josh Rogin at the Washington Post headlined “The U.S. must prepare for Iran’s next move in Syria” and reported that:

A task force of senior former U.S. diplomatic and military officials has come up with suggestions for how Trump could prevent Iran from taking over what’s left of liberated Syria and fulfill his own promise to contain Iranian influence in the region.

“Most urgently... the United States must impose real obstacles to Tehran’s pursuit of total victory by the Assad regime in Syria,” the report by the Jewish Institute for National Security of America states. “Time is of the essence.”

The underlying presumption there was that the U.S. regime has legitimate authorization to be occupying the parts of Syria it has invaded and now occupies, and that Iran does not. But the reality is that the U.S. regime is occupying Syria instead of assisting Syria’s Government to defeat the U.S.-Saud-Israeli invasion to overthrow and replace Syria’s Government, by stooges who will be selected by the Saud family who own Saudi Arabia, and the reality is that Iran’s forces there are invitees who are instead assisting Syria’s Government against the Saudi-Israeli-American invasion. In other words: this WP article is basically all lies. Furthermore, the Jewish Institute for National Security of America is a front-organization for the fascist regime that rules Israel, and the WP hid that fact, too, so its cited ‘expert’ was a mere PR agency for Israel’s aristocracy. So, this is Deep-State propaganda, parading as ‘news’. 

Americans actually pay their private good money to subscribe to (subsidize) such bad public ‘news’papers as that. The billionaire who happens to own that particular ‘news’paper (the WP), Jeff Bezos, had founded and leads Amazon, which receives almost all of its profits from Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud-computing division, which supplies the U.S. ‘Defense’ Department, CIA, and NSA. For example, “without AWS and Prime, Amazon lost $2 billion in the 1st quarter of FY18. … These losses come from Amazon’s retail business. About 60% of Amazon’s revenue comes from retail and that’s where Amazon is losing money.” Amazon is profitable because of what it sells mainly to the Government, but also to other large U.S. international corporations, and they all want to conquer Syria. None opposes that evil goal. Although Bezos doesn’t like the Sauds, he has actually been (at least until the Khashoggi matter) one of their main U.S. media champions for the Sauds to take over Syria. It’s all just a fool-the-public game. It works, it succeeds, and that’s what Gallup’s polls are demonstrating. The public never learns. It’s a fact, which has been proven in many different ways.

This reality extends also to other nations, allies of the U.S. aristocracy, and not only to the U.S. regime itself. For example, on 27 November 2018, a whistleblowing former UK Ambassador, Craig Murray, who is a personal friend of Julian Assange, headlined“Assange Never Met Manafort. Luke Harding and the Guardian Publish Still More Blatant MI6 Lies”, and he proved that Britain’s Guardian had lied with total, and totally undocumented (and probably even totally non-credible), fabrications, alleging that Julian Assange of WikiLeaks had secretly met (in 2013, 2015, and 2016) with Paul Manafort of the Trump campaign. The UK, of course, is a vassal-nation of the U.S. aristocracy, and the Guardian is run by Democratic Party propagandists (paid indirectly by Democratic Party and conservative Tony-Blair-wing Labour Party billionaires) and therefore fabricates in order to assist those Parties’ efforts to impeach Trump and to dislodge Jeremy Corbyn from the Labour Party’s leadership. However, each of America’s two political parties (like the UK’s aristocracy itself) represents America’s aristocracy, which, like Britain’s aristocracy, is united in its determination to eliminate Assange — they are as determined to do that to him, just as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman al-Saud was determined to eliminate Jamal Khashoggi. ‘Democracy’? This? It is Big Brother.

Only if the population boycott lying individuals and organizations, is democracy even possible to exist in a nation. Democracy can’t possibly exist more than truth does. In political matters, deceit is always treachery; and its practitioners, whenever the evidence for it is overwhelming and irrefutable, should experience whatever the standard penalty is for treachery. Only in a land such as that, can democracy possibly exist. Elsewhere, it simply can’t. The only basis for democracy, is truth. Deceit is for dictators, not for democrats. And deceit reigns, in the U.S. and in its allied countries. Is this really tolerable? Americans, at least, tolerate it.

When Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the far-right Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal editorialized against Obama on 10 October 2009, by saying that “What this suggests to us — and to the Norwegians — is the end of what has been called ‘American exceptionalism’.” Little did anyone then know that after winning re-election upon the basis of such war-mongering lies from Obama, as that “America remains the one indispensable nation”, Obama in February 2014 would go so far as to perpetrate a bloody coup overthrowing the democratically elected Government of one “dispensable” nation, Ukraine; and, then, on 28 May of 2014, Obama would be telling America’s future generals, that “The United States is and remains the one indispensable nation” and that Obama would, in that speech, explicitly malign Ukraine’s neighbor Russia. He did it, in this speech, which implicitly called all nations except the U.S. “dispensable.” He had carefully planned and orchestrated Americans’ hostility toward Russia. His successor, Trump, lied saying that he wanted to reverse Obama’s policies on this, and Trump promptly, once becoming elected, increased and expanded those policies. Whatever a deceitfully war-mongering country like this might be, it’s certainly no democracy. Because democracy cannot be built upon a ceaseless string of lies.
