De VS geanalyseerd als een 'evil empire' dat onder andere uit is op de vernietiging van Rusland

Phil Butler heeft een artikel geplaatst New Eastern Outlook (NEO) (wat ik overnam van Information Clearing House) waarin hij de VS analyseert als een duivels imperium dat erop gericht is haar macht te vergroten ten koste van andere landen en hun bevolking, vooral te zien hoe men in de Trump administratie en de geheime diensten van de VS spreekt over Rusland, China, Iran, Venezuela en Noord-Korea.

Butler richt zich met name op Rusland, nadat hij heeft geconstateerd dat er geen sprake is van een echte democratie in de VS, zoals er 'ook geen' sprake is van vrijheid of dat de VS burger ver uitsteekt boven de rest van de mensheid, zoals men daar onder een groot deel van het volk gelooft. (overigens veel Nederlanders geloven ook dat zij meer zijn dan de rest van de wereldbevolking)

Hoe is het mogelijk dat de VS de ondergang wenst van Rusland, terwijl er nooit een oorlog is geweest tussen deze landen, een oorlog met grote grafvelden vol met VS militairen en toch roept men victorie als blijkt dat de vruchtbaarheid van de Russen steeds meer te wensen overlaat, zo verzucht Butler......

Butler wijst op de mediaorganen van Rupert Murdoch die Rusland keer op keer demoniseren, wat volgens hem te wijten is aan het feit dat Murdoch en zijn News Corp in 1998 samen met een oligarch Boris Berezovsky de Russische maatschappij wilde manipuleren, waarbij zich ook spuugrijke figuren als Ted Turner voegden, echter aan deze avonturen maakte Putin een eind door oligarchen te vervolgen en hen in feite dwong het land te verlaten. Volgen Butler is dat de reden dat News Corp en andere mediaorganen Rusland demoniseren. Overigens Butler heeft het niet voor niets over News Corp, daar meerdere oligarchen News Corp steunen voor de demonisering van Putin en Rusland.

Heb een paar reacties toegevoegd onder het hieronder opgenomen artikel, waarin men o.a. Butler verwijt ontwaakt te zijn uit een diepe coma en dat hij vergeet de rest van de reguliere media in de VS te noemen, die even hard op de Anti-Russische propagandatrommel roffelen, wat mij betreft heeft dat laatste in deze reactie geen punt, immers Butler noemt dit wel met de volgende zin: 

And Murdoch, the man referred to as “the man whose name is synonymous with unethical newspapers,” is but one of the privateers hell-bent on taking his share of Russia if Putin fails'. Wel fijn dat Drew Hunkins in deze reactie een fiks aantal mediaorganen noemt, je kan wat dat betreft de reguliere mediaorganen niet genoeg aan de paal nagelen, mediaorganen die 'iets' te vaak de woorden fake news (nepnieuws) durven te gebruiken, terwijl dit geïnstitutionaliseerd is bij diezelfde media...... (en ja dat geldt ook voor die media in ons land, van NRC tot Telegraaf en van de 'onafhankelijke' NOS tot WNL......)

Vergeet voorts niet dat deze media zonder uitzondering in handen zijn van steenrijke figuren die aandelen hebben in de meest lucratieve bedrijven: waarvan de belangrijkste wel die van de wapenindustrie is (aangevuld met oliemaatschappijen en de farmaceutische industrie, Ap*
Voorts is er een reactie te lezen waarin wordt gesteld dat er wel degelijk een oorlog plaatsvond tussen de VS en Rusland, dit tijdens de revolutie in Rusland, waar de VS en andere westerse landen Rusland hebben aangevallen om de 'communistische revolutie' de nek om te draaien, ofwel een in feite illegale oorlog die werd georganiseerd en vooral werd gesteund door de VS......

U.S. Without the Sugar Coating: Wishing Ill Will On Our World

By Phil Butler

WALL52342

June 18, 2020 "Information Clearing House" - As an American, it’s hard to admit things are not as they seem. Democracy, that ideal we were taught as children to worship, it turns out to be only a fancy idea. Like all the other noble, fancy, ideas in history, the illusion of true freedom makes these edges of our existence warm and safe. Even while we live in a deadly, cruel, and unpredictable world. American’s are supposed to be different. Or so we were told. But we are no different from citizens of any ancient empire.

I was reading this morning a story on the Wall Street Journal, which is supposed to be a financial newspaper. The title, especially given the situation in the world now, slapped me hard across the face. The title read:
Pandemic Upends Putin’s Plans to Raise Russia’s Dwindling Birthrate”

What are they wishing for here?” this is what I asked myself. For, you see, this is what editorial is, a mirror into the desired effect. As journalists or analysts were are trained to present cases and Rupert Murdoch’s newspaper trains its cause toward the destruction of the evil billionaire’s enemies. And the Australian born American media mogul hate Vladimir Putin and Russia. He wants the Russian people to die out, and his scribes spend their days writing a bible about how it can happen. Come on, it’s not so difficult to see.

You can’t read the whole story of wonderful infertility in Russia. Because the Wall Street Journal has a paywall. This fact not only ensures that Murdoch gets his twenty pieces of silver, but it also certifies that the audience of bankers, brokers, and politicians who consume WSJ content get what they want. An old testament to a world where Russia is a history chapter in the New World Order’s religion of greed and chaos.

But why? Doesn’t every American wonder how we’ve managed to go nowhere in the more than seven decades since World War 2? Black lives still don’t matter in the US? And neither do, red, yellow, brown, Slavic, Celtic, Christian, or Muslim ones anywhere. And least of all, do Russian children matter – but why? When did Russia attack America? Where are the dead and buried in America’s wars with the USSR or Russia? Are the memorial cemeteries secret? Has the liberal order that’s run things hidden from us the very premise on which we base our almost religious fear and hatred of a people?

No. There are no battalions of dead warriors from the Russo-American war. Because there never was such a war. I wonder why we can’t ask “why” on that one? Oh, I am sorry. It’s because Australian-American billionaires and golf playing American presidents protected us from the evil Putin and the war-hungry Ruskies! Yeah, I forgot.

I want to end this observation today with a couple more questions. First, and foremost, how can we Americans stand idly by and watch the foundations of our country destroyed? How can we fight amongst ourselves over problems that should no longer exist, while the purveyors of every evil we ever fought against, they are thriving in their ivory towers? Second, how did we get to be so mean and nasty? Or, were we always hoping Russians or Iranians or Chinese people would have more hardship? And Murdoch, the man referred to as “the man whose name is synonymous with unethical newspapers,” is but one of the privateers hell-bent on taking his share of Russia if Putin fails.

I won’t delve too deeply into Murdoch’s Russian ventures but ousted oligarch Sergei Pugachev and many others align with the News Corp dictator. The thrives Putin uncovered and banished from Russia are the henchmen who would butcher her people for their gold. Here’s where it started, back in 1998, when News Corp. made the move to influence Russia the way it influences the west. You may recognize another famous name from the UPI story, which begins:
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation has entered the Russian market, joining with Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky in a venture holding exclusive rights to sell advertising time on two major Russian television networks, ORT Channel 1 and TV-6.”
Murdoch, Ted Turner, and other media moguls had their sights on expanding their propaganda/advertising businesses into Russia back when. Eventually, Vladimir Putin’s straight game of preserving Russia for Russians ran contrary to their plans, they pulled out, and we see the revenge they take every time we pick up a newspaper or turn on the TV.

In America, and in much of the so-called “west”, a subculture of thought, academia, journalism, and business has taught anti-Russia narrative for generations now.

However, what concerns me is not deep think, Cold War policy still going on behind the scenes in Washington and Moscow. What bothers me is how we Americans allow such unfair and improper relations to go on. Russia was never a real enemy, only a contrived perceptual opponent made so by our imperialist drive for control. The United States, more than any other country in the world, has become rich and powerful at the expense of the world, not alongside the world. This is an incontrovertible truth. But a truth any “Trumpster” would fight to the death to hide. We create so much harm and destroy so much goodwill believing in these lies. We condone things like races of people just “dying out” – and THIS is what those headlines mean.

This is not the country I went into the armed forces to defend. This is not the country may parents, grandparents, and ancestors pledge allegiance to their entire lives. Americans are not supposed to be unfair, cruel, bad sports, and ruthless. We’re just not supposed to be.

Een reactie van Scribblguy:
"This is not the country I went into the armed forces to defend."

You were in an American armed forces that protected this nation? When did that happen? From where I sit the armed forces have always been and still are tools of aggression, not defense for the USA!

Gringolandia:
This was before he woke up to the truth, at least i sure hope so.

Participant 2943:
"Americans are not supposed to be unfair, cruel, bad sports, and ruthless." Some of us are. Some are not - same as people in every other country, except that the U.S. is more so because it has a culture of violence - more than many other countries do.

Drew Hunkins:
"As journalists or analysts were [sic] are trained to present cases and Rupert Murdoch’s newspaper trains its cause toward the destruction of the evil billionaire’s enemies. And the Australian born American media mogul hate [sic] Vladimir Putin and Russia. He wants the Russian people to die out..." 

Not by a long shot is it only Murdoch's FOX boys who loath Russia. It's also PBS News Hour, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, BBC, NY Times, WaPo, Newsweek, UK's Daily Mail, UK's Sun, Time, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, New Republic, Wall Street Journal, all of commercial radio, most of Big Tech and Silicon Valley and at least a hundred other Western news sources and outlets.  

En nog eens Drew Hunkins:
"There are no battalions of dead warriors from the Russo-American war. Because there never was such a war," Actually there was."

Soon after the Bolsheviks swept into power a group of Western capitalist nations -- including a sizable amount of U.S. soldiers -- violently invaded Russia to try and subvert and destroy the fledgling socialist govt.

This chapter of American aggression against the Russian people has been largely forgotten.

Imagine it the other way! Imagine if the Soviet Union circa 1933 invaded the West Coast of the U.S. and killed thousands of civilians during their march to subvert the American capitalist exploitation of the U.S. working people. There would be hundreds of songs, monuments, statues, documentaries and holidays to this day in honor of this hypothetical war.

VS is leverancier dood en verderf, niet Rusland......

Trump zei onlangs in een interview tegen de hersenloze rechtse houwdegen O'Reilly, dat de VS ook veel moordenaars heeft, dit op de vraag waarom hij de relaties met Rusland wil normaliseren, terwijl Putin een moordenaar is.

Niet veel mis met deze uitspraak van Trump, ware het niet, dat hij erkende dat Putin een moordenaar is. Gezien de illegale oorlogen die de VS de laatste 26 jaar begon, plus de door de VS opgezette, gefinancierde en geregisseerde opstanden en staatsgrepen, kan je Putin niet eens wegzetten als moordenaar........

De VS is al jaren de grootste terreurentiteit op aarde!!

Has The American Establishment Opted for Thermo-Nuclear War?

By Paul Craig Roberts

February 08, 2017 "Information Clearing House" - If you want to be an American TV talking head or a Western presstitute, you are required to be braindead and integrity-challenged like Bill O’Reilly, CNN, MSNBC, and the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and all the rest.

In an interview with President Donald Trump, O’Reilly said: “Putin is a killer.”

O’Reilly is indifferent to the fact that thermo-nuclear war is a killer of planet Earth. For O’Reilly, President Trump’s desire to normalize relations with Russia is an indication that the President of the US is comfortable making deals with killers, as if America’s last three presidents have not been mass killers comfortable with their destruction in whole or part of many countries and millions of peoples.

President Trump’s response to O’Reilly’s was: “We’ve got a lot of killers. What do you think – our country’s so innocent?”

The only thing wrong with President Trump’s response is that it implicitly accepts that Putin is no different from Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. Yet there is no evidence that Putin is a “killer.” This accusation is an assertion from those who prosper from having a “Russian threat” to keep the money and power flowing to themselves.

As Finian Cunningham shows, Trump should have reprimanded O’Reilly for his unsupported and undiplomatic accusation against the president of a country with which President Trump hopes to restore normal relations. http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2017/02/06/trump-apology-for-killer-putin-wrongheaded.html

President Trump’s statement of an obvious fact was quickly branded “defense of a killer” by congressional Republicans, Hillary Democrats, the liberal, progressive, left-wing, and the Western presstitutes.

Even online sites, such as politico.com, jumped in to criticize “Donald Trump’s defense of Vladimir Putin’s homicidal history.” Allegations of “Putin’s homicidal history” are astonishing after 24 years of Washington’s genocide against Muslins in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, and Syria, and non-Muslims in Yugoslavia and the Russian regions of Ukraine. Washington ranks as one of the worst mass murderers in human history, but the Western presstitutes brand Putin as the one who is homicidal.

Listen to these members of Congress who represent Americans in Washington:

Senate Majorithy Leader Mitch McConnel (R, Ky) said referring to the thrice elected President of Russia: “He’s a thug.” McConnel has gone along with Washington’s mass murder of peoples for 15 years, and this accomplice to mass murder said that Washington’s murder of countless millions, which have sent refugees all over the Western world, are not evidence against America. In his response to Trump’s statement, McConnel actually said: “We don’t operate in any way the way the Russians do. I think there’s a clear distinction here that all Americans understand, and I would not have characterized it that way.” http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/republicans-denounce-trumps-defense-of-killer-putin-234665

The Republican senator from Florida, Marco Rubio, said: “We are not the same as Putin.” Of course we aren’t. We are mass murderers.

The Rebublican senator from Nebraska, Ben Sasse, said, and this is a level of ignorance hard to believe even for Americans, that “Putin is an enemy of political dissent. The U.S. celebrates political dissent and the right for people to argue free from violence about places or ideas that are in conflict [as at Cal Berkeley]. There is no moral equivalency between the United States of America, the greatest freedom loving nation in the history of the world, and the murderous thugs that are in Putin’s defense of his cronyism.”

The Wall Street Journal’s (WSJ) Bret Stephens said: “Trump puts US on moral par with Putin’s Russia. Never in history has a President slandered his country like this.”

No Bret, you have it backwards. No US president has ever slandered Russia like this. There is no moral equivalency between Washington and Moscow. Washington is totally devoid of all morality. Russia is not. It is not Russia that has murdered, maimed, and displaced peoples in at least 9 countries in the last 15 years, sending refugees all over the Western world, some of whom no doubt bear legitimate grudges.

Trump’s vice president, Mike Pence, rushed to tell NBC that Trump didn’t mean that Washington is not morally superior to Putin’s Russia. Of course the US is morally superior to everyone. The millions of peoples we kill and dislocate are proof of our unquestioned moral superiority. Every time we bomb a wedding, a funeral of the wedding guests, a children’s soccer game, innumerable hospitals and medical centers, schools, farms, public transportation, we exceptional and indispensable Americans are demonstrating our moral superiority over the Earth. Only the morally superior can commit vast crimes against humanity without being held accountable.

Normal relations with Russia do not seem to be in the cards. The demonization and lies will continue. The New Cold War is too important to the ruling establishment, and to the members of the House and Senate who are dependent on military/security campaign donations, for Trump to be allowed to normalize relations with Russia.

Everything that Reagan and Gorbachev achieved has been undone. The material interest of a few has again placed humanity at risk.

The greatest freedom loving nation in the history of the world” can’t even have a debate about it, because a debate is Putin apologetics and moral equivalency.
