December 13, 2015 "Information
Clearing House" - My warning that
the neoconservatives have resurrected the threat of nuclear
Armageddon, which was removed by Reagan and Gorbachev, is also being
given by Noam Chomsky, former US Secretary of Defense William Perry,
and other sentient observers of the neoconservatives’ aggressive
policies toward Russia and China.
Daily we observe additional aggressive actions
taken by Washington and its vassals against Russia and China. For
example, Washington is pressuring Kiev not to implement the Minsk
agreements designed to end the conflict between the puppet
government in Kiev and the break-away Russian republics.

Washington refuses to cooperate with Russia in the war against ISIS.
Washington continues to blame Russia for the destruction of MH-17,
while preventing an honest investigation of the attack on the
Malaysian airliner. Washington continues to force its European
vassals to impose sanctions on Russia based on the false claim that
the conflict in Ukraine was caused by a Russian invasion of Ukraine,
not by Washington’s coup in overthrowing a democratically elected
government and installing a puppet answering to Washington.
The list is long. Even the International Monetary
Fund (IMF), allegedly a neutral, non-political world organization,
has been suborned into the fight against Russia. Under Washington’s
pressure, the IMF has abandoned its policy of refusing to lend to
debtors who are in arrears in their loan payments to creditors. In
the case of Ukraine’s debt to Russia, this decision removes the
enforcement mechanism that prevents countries (such as Greece) from
defaulting on their debts. The IMF has announced that it will lend
to Ukraine in order to pay the Ukraine’s Western creditors despite
the fact that Ukraine has renounced repayment of loans from Russia.
Michael Hudson believes, correctly in my view,
that this new IMF policy will also be applied to those countries to
whom China has made loans. The IMF’s plan is to leave Russia and
China as countries who lack the usual enforcement mechanism to
collect from debtors, thus permitting debtors to default on the
loans without penalty.
In other words, the IMF is presenting itself,
although the financial media will not notice, as a tool of US
foreign policy.
What this shows, and what should concern us, is
that the institutions of Western civilization are in fact tools of
American dominance. The institutions are not there for the noble
reasons stated in their founding documents.
The bottom line is that Western Capitalism is
simply a looting mechanism that has successfully suborned Western
governments and all Western “do-good” institutions.
As in George Orwell’s 1984, the
IMF is dividing the world into warring factions — the West vs. the
BRICS.
To avoid the coming conflict that the
neoconservatives’ pursuit of American hegemony is bringing, the
Russians have relied on fact-based, truth-based diplomacy. However,
neocon Washington relies on lies and propaganda and has many more
and much louder voices. Consequently, it is Washington’s lies, not
Russia’s truth, that most of the Western sheeple believe.
In other words, Russia was misled by believing
that the West respects and abides by the values that it professes.
In fact, these “Western values” are merely a cover for the unbridled
evil of which the West consists.
The Western peoples are so dimwitted that they
have not yet understood that the “war on terror” is, in fact, a war
to create terror that can be exported to Muslim areas of Russia and
China in order to destabilize the two countries that serve as a
check on Washington’s unilateral, hegemonic power.
The problem for the neocon unilateralists is that
Russia and China—although misinformed by their “experts” educated
abroad in the neoliberal tradtion, people who are de facto agents of
Washington without even knowing it—are powerful military powers,
both nuclear and conventional. Unless Russia and China are content
to be Washington’s vassal states, for the neoconservatives, who
control Washington and, thereby, the West, to press these two
powerful countries so hard can only lead to war. As Washington is
not a match for Russia and China in conventional warfare, the war
will be nuclear, and the result will be the end of life on earth.
Whether ironic or paradoxical, the US is pushing a
policy that means the end of life. Yet, the majority of Western
governments support it, and the insouciant Western peoples have no
clue.
But Putin has caught on. Russia is not going to
submit. Soon China will undersand that US dependency on China’s
workforce and imports is not a protection from Washington’s
aggression. When China looks beyond its MIT and Harvard miseducated
neoliberal economists to the writing on the wall, Washington is
going to be in deep trouble.
What will Washington do? Confronted with two
powerful nuclear forces, will the crazed neocons back off? Or will
their confidence in their ideology bring us the final war?
This is a real question. The US government pays
Internet trolls to ridicule such questions and their authors. To see
the people who sell out humanity for money, all you have to do is to
read the comments on the numerous websites that reproduce this
column.
Nevertheless, the question remains, unanswered by
the Western presstitute media and unanswered by the
bought-and-paid-for stooges in the US Congress and all Western
“democracies.”
Indications are that Russia has had enough of
Amerian arrogance. The Russian people have elevated a leader as they
always do, and which Western countries seldom, if ever, do. The West
has triumphed by technology, not by leadership. But Vladimir Putin
is Russia’s choice of a leader, and he is one. Russia also has the
technology and a sense of itself that no longer exists in the
diversified West.
There is nothing like Putin anywhere in the West,
over which presides a collection of bought-and-paid-for-puppets who
report to private interest groups, such as Wall Street, the
military-industrial complex, the Israel Lobby, agribusiness, and the
extractive industries (energy, mining, timber).
At the 70th Anniversary of the United Nations
(September 28), Putin, backed by the President of China, announced
that half of the world no longer accepts American unilateralism.
Additionally, Putin said that Russia can no longer tolerate the
state of affairs in the world that results from Washington’s pursuit
of hegemony.
Two days later Putin took over the fight against
ISIS in Syria.
Putin, still relying on agreements with
Washington, relied on the agreement that Russia would announce
beforehand its attacks on ISIS installations in order to prevent any
NATO-Russian air encounters. Washington took advantage of this trust
placed in Washington by Russia, and arranged for a Turkish jet
fighter to ambush an unsuspecting Russian fighter-bomber.

This was an act of war, committed by Washington
and Turkey, and thereby Washington’s European NATO vassal states
against a nuclear power capable of exterminating all life in every
one of the countries, including the “superpower US.”
This simple fact should make even the American
super-patriots, who wear the flag on their sleeve, wonder about the
trust they place in “their” government and in Fox “news,” CNN, NPR,
and the rest of the presstitutes who continually lie every minute of
every broadcast.
But it won’t. Americans and Europeans are too
insouciant. They are locked tightly in The Matrix, where the
impotent creatures are content to live without understanding
reality.
Realizing that it is pointless to attempt to
communicate to the Western sheeple, who have no input into their
government’s policy, Putin now sends his message directly to
Washington.
Putin’s message is loud and clear in his order
directed against any US/NATO operations against Russia in its Syrian
operations against ISIS:
“Any targets threatening the Russian groups of
forces or land infrastructure must be immediately destroyed.”
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/dec/11/putin-immediately-destroy-target-threatening-russia-syria
Putin followed up this order with another order to
the Russian Defense Ministry Board:
“Special attention must be paid to strengthening
the combat potential of the strategic nuclear forces and
implementing defense space programs. It is necessary, as outlined in
our plans, to equip all components of the nuclear triad with new
arms.”
http://sputniknews.com/russia/20151211/1031582368/putin-air-defense.html
Russia’s Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported at the Defense
Ministry meeting that 56 percent of Russia’s nuclear forces are new
and that more than 95 percent are at a permanent state of readiness.
The few Western news sources that report these developments pretend
that Russia is ”saber-rattling” without cause.
To make it clear even for the insouciant Western
populations, everything that Reagan and Gorbachev worked for has
been overthrown by crazed, demented, evil American neoconservatives
whose desire for hegemony over the world is driving the world to
extinction.
These are the same bloodthirsty war criminals who
have destroyed seven countries, murdered, maimed, and displaced
millions of Muslim peoples, and sent millions of refugees from the
neocon wars into Europe. None of these war criminals are protected
from terrorist attack. If the alleged “Muslim threat” was real,
every one of the war criminals would be dead by now, not the
innocent people sitting in Paris cafes or attending parties in
California.
Neocons are the unhumans who created on purpose
the “war against terror” in order to gain a weapon against Russia
and China. You can witness these unhumans every day on talk TV and
read them in the Weekly Standard, National Review, the Wall Street
Journal, the New York Times, the British, German, Australian,
Canadian, and endless Western newspapers.
In the West lies prevail, and the lies are driving
the world to extinction. An expert reminds us that it only takes one
mistake and 30 minutes to destroy life on earth.
