FOR
ALL…A very good read and appropriate to today’s goings-on…Note the
references to the American Neo-con’s, almost all Zionist Jews who have
been pushing for just what has been happening in the Ukraine…having
spent U.S. $5 billion to stir up the pot of politics and economic
troubles, they are determined to thwart Putin at every chance they can.
These “Red Diaper Babies”, all neo-cons, the progeny of the American
Bolshevik Jews of the 20’s & 30’s have planned these international
set-to’s back in 1991, when Cheney and Bush were elected, but before
9/11..After setting these wars in motion, they all abdicated their
government jobs and returned to their Think Tanks and large
Banks—awaiting the effects of their plans that follow earlier precedents
found in the Protocols and the Communist Manifesto..Their angst toward
Putin stems from his having driven out of power, the Russian Jews who
worked with the Rockefeller crowd and these (Jew) Neocons. Revenge is
demanded, and they certainly use their (Jew) media to promote this anti Putin
view.

The Obama Game
Is Putin Being Lured Into a Trap?
By Mike Whitney
“Russia … is now recognized as the center of the global ‘mutiny’ against global dictatorship of the US and EU. Its generally peaceful .. approach is in direct contrast to brutal and destabilizing methods used by the US and EU…. The world is waking up to reality that there actually is, suddenly, some strong and determined resistance to Western imperialism. After decades of darkness, hope is emerging.” – Andre Vltchek, Ukraine: Lies and Realities, CounterPunch
April 15, 2014 "ICH" - "CP"
- Russia is not responsible for the crisis in Ukraine. The US State
Department engineered the fascist-backed coup that toppled Ukraine’s
democratically-elected president Viktor Yanukovych and replaced him with
the American puppet Arseniy Yatsenyuk, a former banker. Hacked phone
calls reveal the critical role that Washington played in orchestrating
the putsch and selecting the coup’s leaders. Moscow was not involved in
any of these activities. Vladimir Putin, whatever one may think of him,
has not done anything to fuel the violence and chaos that has spread
across the country.
Putin’s
main interest in Ukraine is commercial. 66 percent of the natural gas
that Russia exports to the EU transits Ukraine. The money that Russia
makes from gas sales helps to strengthen the Russian economy and raise
standards of living. It also helps to make Russian oligarchs richer, the
same as it does in the West. The people in Europe like the arrangement
because they are able to heat their homes and businesses market-based
prices. In other words, it is a good deal for both parties, buyer and
seller. This is how the free market is supposed to work. The reason it
doesn’t work that way presently is because the United States threw a
spanner in the gears when it deposed Yanukovych. Now no one knows when
things will return to normal.
Check out this chart at Business Insider and you’ll see why Ukraine matters to Russia.
The
overriding goal of U.S. policy in Ukraine is to stop the further economic
integration of Asia and Europe. That’s what the fracas is really all
about. The United States wants to control the flow of energy from East
to West, it wants to establish a de facto tollbooth between the
continents, it wants to ensure that those deals are transacted in U.S.
dollars and recycled into US Treasuries, and it wants to situate itself
between the two most prosperous markets of the next century. Anyone who
has even the sketchiest knowledge of U.S. foreign policy– particularly as
it relates to Washington’s “pivot to Asia”– knows this is so. The U.S. is
determined to play a dominant role in Eurasia in the years ahead.
Wreaking havoc in Ukraine is a central part of that plan.
Retired
German Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Jochen Scholz summed up US policy
in an open letter which appeared on the Neue Rheinilche Zeitung
news-site last week. Scholz said the Washington’s objective was
“to deny
Ukraine a role as a bridge between Eurasian Union and European
Union….They (the money Jews) want to bring Ukraine under the NATO control” and sabotage
the prospects for “a common economic zone from Lisbon to Vladivostok.”
Bingo.
That’s US policy in a nutshell. It has nothing to do with democracy,
sovereignty, or human rights. It’s about money and power. Who are the
big players going to be in the world’s biggest growth center, that’s all
that matters. Unfortunately for Obama and Co., the US has fallen behind
Russia in acquiring the essential resources and pipeline infrastructure
to succeed in such a competition. They’ve been beaten by Putin and
Gazprom at every turn. While Putin has strengthened diplomatic and
economic relations, expanded vital pipeline corridors and transit lines,
and hurtled the many obstacles laid out for him by American-stooges in
the EC; the U.S. has dragged itself from one quagmire to the next laying
entire countries to waste while achieving none of its economic
objectives.
So
now the U.S. has jettisoned its business strategy altogether and moved on
to Plan B, regime change. Washington couldn’t beat Putin in a fair
fight, so now they’ve taken off the gloves. Isn’t that what’s really
going on? Isn’t that why the US NGOs, and the Intel agencies, and the
State Dept were deployed to launch their sloppily-engineered (Jew neo-con) Nazi-coup
that’s left the country in chaos?
Once
again, Putin played no part in any of this. All he did was honor the
will of the people in Crimea who voted overwhelmingly (97%) to reunite
with the Russian Federation. From a purely pragmatic point of view, what
other choice did they have? After all, who in their right mind would
want to align themselves with the most economically mismanaged
confederation of all time (The EU) while facing the real possibility
that their nation could be reduced to Iraq-type rubble and destitution
in a matter of years? Who wouldn’t opt-out of such an arrangement?
As
we noted earlier, Putin’s main objective is to make money. In contrast,
the US wants to dominate the Eurasian landmass, break Russia up into
smaller, non-threatening units, and control China’s growth. That’s the
basic gameplan. Also, the US does not want any competitors, which we can
see from this statement by (Neo-con Jew) Paul Wolfowitz which evolved into the US
National Defense Strategy:
“Our (Our as in world Jewry) first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival, either on the territory of the former Soviet Union or elsewhere, that poses a threat on the order of that posed formerly by the Soviet Union. This is a dominant consideration underlying the new regional defense strategy and requires that we endeavor to prevent any hostile power from dominating a region whose resources would, under consolidated control, be sufficient to generate global power.”
This
is the prevailing doctrine that Washington lives by. No rivals. No
competition. We’re the boss. What we say, goes. The US is Numero Uno, le
grande fromage. Who doesn’t know this already? Here’s more from
(the Jew) Wolfowitz:
“The U.S. must show the leadership necessary to establish and protect a new order that holds the promise of convincing potential competitors that they need not aspire to a greater role or pursue a more aggressive posture to protect their legitimate interests. In non-defense areas, we must account sufficiently for the interests of the advanced industrial nations to discourage them from challenging our leadership or seeking to overturn the established political and economic order. We must maintain the mechanism for deterring potential competitors from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role.”
In
other words, “don’t even think about getting more powerful or we’ll
swat you like a fly.” That’s the message, isn’t it? The reason we draw
attention to these quotes is not to pick on Wolfowitz, but to show how
things haven’t changed under Obama, in fact, they’ve gotten worse. The
so called 'Bush Doctrine' is more in effect today than ever which is why
we need to be reminded of its central tenets. The US military is the de
facto enforcer of neoliberal capitalism or what Wolfowitz calls “the
established political and economic order”. Right. The statement provides
a blanket justification for the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria
and now Ukraine. The US can do whatever it deems necessary to protect
the interests of its constituents, the multi-national corporations and
big finance. The US owns the world and everyone else is just a visitor.
So shut the hell up, and do what you’re told. That’s the message. Here’s
Wolfowitz one more time:
“We (Jews) continue to recognize that collectively the conventional forces of the states formerly comprising the Soviet Union retain the most military potential in all of Eurasia; and we do not dismiss the risks to stability in Europe from a nationalist backlash in Russia or efforts to reincorporate into Russia the newly independent republics of Ukraine, Belarus, and possibly others.”
Wolfowitz
figured the moment would come when the US would have to square off with
Moscow in order to pursue it’s imperial strategy in Asia. Putin doesn’t
seem to grasp that yet. He still clings to the misguided notion that
rational people will find rational solutions to end the crisis. But he’s
mistaken. Washington does not want a peaceful solution.
Washington
wants a confrontation. Washington wants to draw Moscow into a long-term
conflict in Ukraine that will recreate Afghanistan in the 1990s. That’s
the goal, to lure Putin into a military quagmire that will discredit him
in the eyes of the world, isolate Russia from its allies, put strains
on new alliances, undermine the Russian economy, pit Russian troops
against US-backed armed mercenaries and Special Ops, destroy Russian
relations with business partners in the EU, and create a justification
for NATO intervention followed by the deployment of nuclear weapons on
Ukrainian territory. That’s the gameplan. Why doesn’t Putin see that?
Putin
has agreed to a meeting this week with foreign Ministers from The
United States, the European Union, and Ukraine. This is another mistake.
Originally, Putin refused to acknowledge the coup-government as
legitimate. Now he’s changed his mind. Now he’s agreed to meet with
their representatives. This is a victory for Washington and a defeat for
Russia. The Obama team will see this as a sign of weakness, which it
is.
According to Al Jazeera: “The meeting will involve US Secretary of State John Kerry, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andriy Deshchytsia, the EU said on Tuesday. A spokesman for Ashton said the talks were aimed at “de-escalating” the crisis in Ukraine.”

A spokesman for Ashton said the talks were aimed at “de-escalating” the crisis in Ukraine.”
The
meeting has nothing to do with “de-escalating” the crisis.” It’s a
public relations stunt. These talks have all the credibility of the
Israel-Palestine peace talks, which is to say, none at all.
There’s
no sense talking to people who don’t want peace. It just makes them
look like they are being sincere, when they’re not. Obama and Co. don’t
want peace. They want regime change. They want to weaken and dismember
Russia. They want to reduce Moscow’s influence over energy-dependent
states in Europe by disrupting the flow of gas through Ukraine.
And they
want to create a justification for carrying out their imperial agenda,
which means they need to make Putin look like a dangerous aggressor. The
coup government’s crackdown on ethnic Russians in Donetsk and Kharkiv
could lead to a Russian intervention which would provide the
justification that Washington is looking for. However painful it is for
Putin to watch Russian speaking Ukrainians get beaten and perhaps killed
by (Jew neo-con paid) Nazi thugs and foreign mercenaries dressed up as Ukrainian Security
Forces, he should avoid sending in the troops. It’s a trap.
At
present, Ukraine’s currency plummeting, its debts and deficits are
growing, and its economy is broken and near default. The IMF has
promised to provide a $27 billion loan package that will be used to
repay wealthy banks and bondholders in Berlin and Salzburg, but will do
nothing to lift the economy out of the doldrums. None of the money from
the IMF loans will be used to repay the $2.2 billion in unpaid gas bills
to Gazprom or to compensate Russia for the more than $34.4 billion in
subsidies Moscow has provided for its ailing neighbor in the last few
years. (Jew) Bondholders come first.
According
to the World Socialist Web Site: “The “tough” measures required by the
IMF in return for a $27 billion loan is already being spelt out by a 120
percent hike in gas and heating prices, the cutting of social benefits,
including free medical assistance, and the closure of several
hospitals.”
Naturally,
the IMF’s conditions will involve more privatizing of public assets and
services, more pension and wage cuts, more easing (“flexibility”) of
labor protections, and more cannibalizing of the economy. Ukraine’s
economy will undoubtedly slip into the same severe depression
experienced everywhere that these failed policies have been implemented.
At the same time, voracious investment banks and private equity
speculators will make out like bandits skimming billions of dollars in
plunder off the distressed and vulnerable country.
The
(Jew controlled national) US media has made a big deal out of the fact that Putin “has threatened
to turn off the gas to Ukraine”. While the allegation is certainly
true, we’ve seen no similar headlines about energy producers in the US
cutting off the fuel for American families who are too broke to pay
their gas bill and who’ve been “left to freeze to death in the dark.”
Nor have we seen similar coverage of the 7 million Americans who were
booted from their homes as part of a mortgage laundering scam that was
concocted by crooked Wall Street bankers. Putin is actually looking for a
way to avoid turning off the gas and has asked for help on the matter
from leaders of the US and EU. Here’s what he said just last week:
“Russia is prepared to participate in the effort to stabilize and restore Ukraine’s economy. However, not in a unilateral way, but on equal conditions with our European partners. It is also essential to take into account the actual investments, contributions and expenditures that Russia has shouldered by itself alone for such a long time in supporting Ukraine. As we see it, only such an approach would be fair and balanced, and only such an approach can lead to success.”
Clearly,
Putin doesn’t want to continue shouldering the burden by himself, which
is why he made the statement to begin with. The new coup (Ukraine) government has
repeatedly missed deadlines for payment on its gas supplies. Some
believe they have deliberately stopped paying so Putin will cut off the
gas thus opening himself up to harsh criticism the western media.
Whether it’s true or not is impossible to know, but so far, Washington
has had little success selling the idea that Putin is “the new Hitler”.
The U.S. is still viewed as the country that poses the greatest threat to
world peace, while the Russian president is widely admired as a sober
and restrained leader. However, that could change quickly if Putin sends
troops to defend protestors in Donetsk and Lugansk. Even so, Russian
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned US Secretary of State John Kerry
on Sunday that if the coup government uses force on the protestors who
have seized government buildings then Russia will not participate in the
upcoming four-party talks on the crisis. Lavrov added that “the acute
political crisis in Ukraine in general and in its south-eastern regions
in particular was caused by the present Kiev authorities’ failure to
take into account the legitimate needs and interests of the Russian and
Russian-speaking population.”
On
Sunday, Ukrainian imposter-President Oleksandr Turchynov announced a
plan to launch a “large-scale anti-terrorist operation” in Donetsk and
Lugansk to avoid a “repeat the Crimean scenario in Ukraine’s east.” The
operation will involve “military forces, anti-terrorist forces and law
enforcement of Ukraine” and is scheduled to begin at 9 AM yesterday
morning. (Where
Ukraine soldiers would not fire their weapons on their own countrymen,
and direct insult to the imposter leadership of Ukraine).
It’s
clear, that Turchynov is trying to lure Russia into a fight, just as
it’s clear that the (Ukraine) president would not have approved the crackdown
without a green light from Washington.
Putin
will not allow Russian-speaking people to be killed in Ukraine, that’s
the red line the junta government must not cross if they want to avoid a
confrontation with Russia. Unfortunately, Washington wants Russia to
invade so it can put its “proxy war” plan into motion.
