Wayward Western Warmongers And Eastern Western Wannabes

Real Monsters, Inc Not as Cute as Movie Version

Perhaps, monsters are those who are able to invent and bully a humane justification to commit acts that contradict all that’s to be celebrated under the label: humanity?

For the upper-crust types who've always enjoyed servants, at home or in their fields, and now, in their businesses, thanks to overseas, long-distance servitude; for those who've made pillaging the world a gentlemen's sport; those who've never known true and sustained hardship on a mass scale; for these, now oligarchs with an army of elites and their sub-elites, inculcated to find satisfaction into unnecessarily-limited ranks, for they are those who accept wholeheartedly that life is a competition bound by an organic hierarchical framework, and that being the dominant force is the only acceptable option; for them, it may seem inconceivable that a nation—one that understands real struggle and the power of collaboration—would seek to be a cooperative force in the world rather than a subjugating one; for these, seemingly, that a people would seek to elevate other struggling nations through mutually-beneficial approaches rather than exploitative ones, this can be utterly bewildering.

But to assume that all are interested in competing in some nation's own, gamed competition it believes was birthed by nature, the first-place crown permanently theirs, handed to them by God and, therefore, as logic dictates, that a win-win situations exists only in Twilight Zone fiction that replays in deficient minds, establishing, under no uncertain terms, that such be seen as a threat, one that's to demand force should a refusal to fall in line and adhere to the proper exploitation that fits the developing world be freely expressed, thus, choosing a course that sees countless deaths as a reasonable consequence of one's bewilderment, doesn't that force a redefinition of "threat"?

Second Class Anführer der Verrückten Jens Stoltenberg was due to step down from his NATO role this year, but he's now forced to remain for another, the 'best' candidate not yet having been settled on.

Rumours circulated that Canada's deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Christina "Chrystia" Freeland— the “Minister of Everything”—who possesses Ukrainian roots, was slated for the role but she appears to have stepped away from the possibility, her nomination silently erased.  

The momentum being what it is, shying away from that title and role offers a wise choice lest one wants the responsibility for a situation that's now sure—having gone way past the crucial point months ago—to offer only varying degrees of negatives that even the liberal media is already struggling to spin into any kind of believable anti-Russian or anti-Chinese positive. Even in this climate, cheering and celebrating new NATO members gets old fast and hardly worth more than anyone’s 30 seconds.

But spin they did, and hate spun it faster, and now those in NATO are backed into a corner; trapped, they lash out.

Hence, "gloom" is turned into "moolg" and if it doesn't make sense then you must not be able to read Ukrainian, or whatever language you can't read. Because: "sense' is secondary to "reality" when "making" is what precedes, for whomever believes that Ukraine is winning the war or that it's been doing so in any relevant way at any moment, is wildly misinformed. And cheering on otherwise avoidable deaths; "full-scale" and "invasion" were never a part of it.

The US has not been honest about a single conflict; believing that the narrative that's pushed is truthful now, this, after watching the liberal media turn into what it was in 2020? That says more about empty patriotism and blind hatred than about love and logic.

Reality creeping toward undeniable visibility, the Bendable Buddies and their absurdly ideological bumbling Biden Bunch leaders are becoming increasingly desperate, increasingly irritated, increasingly reckless, placing increased pressure on wobbly and weakening Western pillars of power.

Since, like the USD, all rests on an illusion, maintaining it takes precedence over acknowledging reality, obviously, and that's why collective West leaders cheer not-as-awful-as losses as wins, and applaud semi-slaughters as Ukraine hitting a halfway point to victory.

Reality's real goal: Same thing that motivated NATO expansion, i.e., US imperialism, hegemonic control being, since 2007, dependant on dismantling a Russia that refused to submit to a US Rules-based Order—as if anyone can be blamed for that—which entails a "decolonization" plan to split it into smaller nations, and impose IMF "solutions" to forge debt-strapped vassal, this "Western democracy" conversion process equally relying on stern neoliberal measures that will eradicate any social safety net that was there, placing the populations under perpetual, crushing debt that'll strip the new states and former governments of any autonomy and power, their resources and labour to then be savagely exploited by North American or European-based corporations, people's costs being upped while limitations will be applied to the freedom they hadn't realized they'd had as their wealth is syphoned toward a Western, white world.

Some countries recognize themselves in that, I'm sure. Turned so bitter that that's what you wish on another?

Without Russia—just privatized fragments and powerless people—then China can be slapped into a proper, respectful compliance mode free of that hippy-dippy "mutually-beneficial collaboration" esoteric Asian nonsense.

Not seeing life as a competition that's to be fought to the death, that's why people become lazy and enjoy life, living happy until their death, having accomplished nothing at all, leaving behind nothing but a happy, Mercedes-and-mansion-lacking family and meaningless void. Thus, suffering is a type of humanitarian bootstrapping, for, if people weren't made to suffer, would the world even know what the word "iPhone" means? Or, would we each be wheeling telephone booths around and looking for outlets to snap our phone line into, and calling that mobile phones?

Without Capitalism existing in an eventual future, would there have been a need to discover fire?

The creeping reality... gotta smack it on the nose; get it to scamper into hiding. If it doesn't bite back.

If Western leaders were able to see and appreciate that all are apples that belong to various apple families rather than seeing the world as apples and manure-grown oranges and disposable sour grapes, then, they'd surely understand that America's apple pie may currently be à la mode, but not all nations see it that way when asked: How d'you like them apples?

Personally, I prefer really old cheddar to vanilla ice cream on my apple pie.

Because it's the citizens who are bearing the brunt of the so-called sacrosanct sacrifices and sanctified sanctions that have been unnecessarily imposed, and since there's still an election slated for some future, the flashing "Putin Evil" neons are slightly dimmed but still lit, so please do your part to help channel global hope through our Freedom's saviour, so send funds and shells now to save Democracy, c/o Zeeskyy.

Should I, too, avoid being so familiar? Should I be saying Mr. Zeeskyy?

No matter. Always remember: It's not selfish at all to want to save everyone's tomorrow by forcing neighbours to send everything they've got to Kyiv today, but it is very selfish to want to eat something today if one is focused on family and friends dying of hunger yesterday.

Where's the "tomorrow" in the last one; those people, the ones who put their own survival before the Kyiv regime, it's them who are the problem, and they ought to move to Russia in case it gets nuked.

So stop saying that Ukraine is a global shitstain. Granted, geopolitically, it's a bucket of pee, but it's got its beauty and deserves its sovereignty, and also, because, not everything has to rhyme...

And, given that more than half of the world's wealth must have transited through is borders in recent years and the fact that it's currently the most militarized country on earth—the moon may be worse considering that Russians are always on the dark side of everything and we can't check—and all of that, this, too, just goes to show that: even thieves and beggars command some respect.

Rodney Dangerfield ain't the only one who's been heard complaining that he's not getting any.

•     •     •

That the US were out of ammunition they could send Ukraine's way—hence the cluster bombs; it's all that's available—this should come as no surprise, for the real money isn't in ammunition, it's in the weaponry that offers coffee-mug holders and sexy, stylish lines and sleek, shapely surfaces that scream "Don't fuck with me!"

Plus, The New York Times had detailed the harsh reality in a 24-Mar-2023 piece titled "From Rockets to Ball Bearings, Pentagon Struggles to Feed War Machine". Further, the math says that no matter how much of a flop and a not-so-great offensive was delivered, more 155 mm shells were fired since that article came out than what could be manufactured and shipped. So, there.

Nonetheless, a bumbling Joe—who's no friend of Bob—slipped in the confirmation, which boobs from the Bunch also affirmed in their press briefings.

So, along with Ukraine continually laying out their plans for the public several weeks in advance and either before or after broadcasting them across the media, the Benderaite's Bidenites have now taken to globally asserting campaign-defining weaknesses?

Weirdest fucking war, ever?!

•     •     • 

Illusion. Impression. Perception. Is there a proper order?

The collective West is clearly praying real hard for any victory that can be spun into a non-defeated loss while Putin is boiling with rage at seeing his troops still engaged, wanting nothing more, I'm sure, than to slap some sense into Zeeskyy, who refused to be sensible and end the whole before it began, seeing reason before things went too far.

Securing the safety of all of Kyiv's citizens whilst offering a peace of mind to Russian ones, thus solidifying sovereignty, if only the a-holes we vote into office lived up to their words and values, too, applying "rules" evenly, objectively, for everybody, especially when one has signed such a treaty. 

But Bluffing, Bluffer, and Bluffoon went to war... And Ukrainians and Russians died, but weapons shares boomed while the meanies menacing USA's take down of a universal threat were being weakened with war and crippling sanctions—any time now; should be soon—and best of all, as is said far too often: ...and no American blood is being spilled, making this war a good investment, one that'll offer the greatest ROI in history if it manages to rid the world of Russians.

Deeply disgusting and despicable. Why on earth should anyone see the leadership of any nation that inculcates such thoughts—verbalised by said leaders—be seen as any type of force for good that's worth anyone's attention?

Speaking of Blinkens: The ideologues leading us down the current path and the media people who sell their lies: "pure filth" and "scum-snot" can't convey the type of toxic garbage and waste of organic matter you are for anyone with a healthy, humane-geared mindset. If you possessed even one ounce of redeemable value, you'd have already dove head first in a vat of acid that'd dissolve you in seconds.

Do I really mean the last part? Well, if I don't have to know anything about it.... right now, I may say "yes". And if you knew me you'd understand the unfathomable depths of disgust that that entails.

And, albeit the powerless opposition of vassals, we see NATO-leading members flexing with a flexible morality over the cluster matter, seemingly possessing a very narrow and one-way view that omits the cluster bombs and, especially, the petal mines used by Ukraine since 2014, the latter, fired into Russia and civilian areas, should not be news, yet...

Ukraine and the West are the ones most responsible for flooding the eastern Ukraine region with weapons that morally cross “that red line” they like to wag and point fingers over while shouting "war criminal", yet, given the long-term devastation and indiscriminate lethality, civilians oftentimes delivering the highest count of victims, children paying the highest price of all .

•     •     •

Visibly, frustrations are mounting and despair is thickening on NATO's end as all members are nearing depletion of their stocks, if not already attained, and what's been sent has already been used or destroyed, leaving the whole Alliance vulnerable and, conceivably, in deep fear of an "article 5" response being required, as this may see NATO countries being forced to empty their war museums (cross your fingers that those in pyramidally-stacked cannon balls aren't permanently fused together). Maybe.

What I'm not sure about given the deals that were made at the time to have rockets and mortar shells 'donated' by nearby EU countries, is whether the US has reached its critical threshold, or if it's been eating through those minimum inventory amounts that, supposedly, represent the minimum requirements to assure basic defense capabilities (which probably offer a big buffer, or a tabulated error...)?

This is all for a war that, having been prompted by a US-led military organisation to not do so, Kyiv could have very easily avoided but, we're to believe, chose to fight for one of the stupidest reasons imaginable: Ukraine’s right to decide to join NATO, should NATO ever decide to grant Ukraine membership. 'Not bloody likely,' is what’s still on the forecast, though Bulgaria is said to have shifted on 6-Jul, now leaning toward agreeing to admit Ukraine into NATO, but only 'once the war is over'.

•     •     •

Present on the cracker-and-wine-in-the-afternoon day of the NATO summit, having come donning the traditional regal-khaki war-President's uniform in hopes of long-awaited-but-so-slow-to-come-it's-gotta-be-real-good news, Zeeskyy looked awkward and uptight and somewhat out of place as he shifted his weight from one leg to another and winced and grimaced as tried to figure out what to do with his hands, having now attempted several Nixonic finger positionings, Captain America fisting stances, Banderitic-crossed thumbings, as well as the 'dead pinky' version, and he even gave Napoleonic a try, but the more he fingered blindly, the more the bond he once felt with his digits seemed to dissolve, and the less certain he was that those were his and that they weren't Western toes. But who can think with all the non-shelling quiet going on? Restless, casually shifting from a multi-fingered Fonzy to an ethnic 'half-rooster in a pocket' right-handed power-palm casual pose, he still struggled, unable to settle on comfortable and natural-looking finger action befitting a presidential handling. one that says "I'm a mingler; let's mingle, maybe talk donations, too."

"What do leaders usually do with hands to give off non-begging, NATO-worthy vibe?" Zeesky pondered.

Nothing worked that day, members of the bombing coalition did their best to avoid him, offering only a weak smile should their eyes make contact, this being invariably followed with: "Oh! There's Bob. You'll have to excuse me, I need to speak with Bob."

Goddamn Bob. Everything's always about him, and he's always gotta be more popular than Zeeskyy no matter where or how far he goes to beg.

However, from the readily-available news footage shown across the mainstream, if one shifted their gaze from the magnetic sex-appeal of Bob to the ambulatory green blob filling the center of the screen, one would have noticed a non-Z Zee-man that was clearly tense and winding himself further, tighter, the scowl and clenched jaw and flaring nostrils pulling ridged lines from the slant of his eyebrows spoke of a potential burst of anger, while the raised roundness in the cheeks rendered more severe the disgust and anxiety that's been pushed back, building up the pressure pressed lips held back, crushed-pink pressed into whiteness, oral curves and nasally dips flattening to look like a short fuse, the wrinkled chin offering a sign that all could explode at any moment.

Finding himself having been spoonfed big-boy ambivalence and empty assertions that the matter will be reviewed in due time, trust them, which translates into, "Sure thing, but not right now; maybe later."

Zeeskyy was pissed! Fuming.

•     •     •

So, in 2008, why put forth the offer?

The "country was too corrupt and in need of crucial work on its intitutions" argument is valid but total BS if one examines events and activities in between 2014 and 2022; the Wests' focus was placed on the wrong end of anti-corruption banking as they revived deep hatred, then armed and trained way worse than any hysteria-causing neo-Nazis making an appearance in the USA, though recent versions probably spent time soaking up deadly skills taught by professional soldiers. Canadian soldiers at that, likely; sadly.

Azov may be the only 'gang' you're familiar with each time you shit on anyone finding it disturbing to be cheering for sadists with a swastika sweet spot, but acceptance fed popularity, and hate sprouts surprisingly quickly and it has a way of bringing together like-minded hatred, this leading to, just prior to 2022, hundreds of groups with several tens of thousands of fiercely violent, very Nazi-esque folks settling there to establish militarized compounds and hate-themed communes, including veritable indoctrination camps for kids. Some of these operations were sizably significant and quickly helped establish a resource-filled hub for extremists from all over right on Russia's doorstep.

When the guy that owned the TV station that aired the show that made Zeeskyy famous also funded Zeeskyy's election campaign and over 30 neo-Nazi hate groups he also armed then thrust in regions filled with ethnic Russians, cheering on violence, hence, in East Ukraine, everyday turned into Far-Right Fest... what's normal there? 

I can't say for sure, but I did catch a glint in his eye that seemed to convey a desire to call up Nazi buddies and see if they're free to apply the right pressure where needed, maybe get a petition going, and earn some respect, too! Maybe. 

Come to think of it, was Turkey's Erdogan involved? He did, after all, and despite the agreement, offer some pre-used and slightly-abused Azovs, but several "almost like new" nationalists were also included in the turkey's stuffing, Erdogan having done what he does best: play all sides, offer BS.   

And now, there he was; Zeeskyy embarked on war festivities with a just a so-so desire to party, per the limitations of a "Special Guest" name tag, once again, like always, forcing him to pay a minimum of $82 for an all-dressed missile-in-silo sandwich (hot dog) and $140 for a weak beer throughout Military Carnivale. More donations are needed!

'The big poo-poo heads and their 'you're not good enough for NATO,' Ukraine,' thought Zeeskyy. 'Kill more, then maybe. Maybe. But only if you kill more and more and more Russians, then a few mores still. Now bend down, Touch your nose. Ah-ha, you big non-NATO no-no! We didn't say, 'Uncle Sam says' ' and gna-gna-nah gnu-gnu, no nuclear bomb for you.'

"Why they all laugh at me, why?" muttered an exasperated Zeeskyy.

Then it dawned on him, to which he blurted: "They don't respect me!"

That deserved a biting Tweet.

That Tweet deserved a condescending reprimand, for the tweeter deserved being reminded that they ought to be grateful and say more "pleases" and way more "thank yous" if wanting to maintain their "in" with the only true worldly whiteness manufacturing more missiles. The kind of destruction that Kyiv had opted for placed an undue burden on the pure blond-and-blue-eyed people, do recall; we're paying about $1.50 more for a loaf of bread these days, and the cost of filling up one's BMW... fuggedaboutit!

UK's Secretary of State for Defense Ben Wallace was among those voicing offense and teaching the ins and outs of a "thank you".

Sure, Kyiv dug its own hole, but I'm sure collective West leaders licked its hole real good and did nothing but offer promises and guarantees while greasing all they could and manipulating what was needed to pressure a desirable morality out of Kyiv should "last man standing" start to come across as sociopathic and way over the top when contrasted against Putin's demands.

And, though it's a realization he should have seized on many months ago, the full weight of Ukraine's situation and how he'd been led there seemed to have finally hit him hard.

Completely. Fucked.

"Want" and "desire" no longer matter; Ukraine no longer is. What's now there is the USA in a Ukraine suit    

•     •     •

Really, when you get down to it and examine the security proposals and peace plan put down by Putin, which the US categorically refused prior to 24-Feb-2022—UK passing on the message to Zeeskyy in April 2022—that’s what it boils down to: neutrality guarantees. Also known as: Precisely what had been promised by the US.

Russia, however, now refuses to give up Crimea, Sevastopol providing a clear and logical reason why, while the near-totality of the island population want to stay Russian, many clearly stating that they’ll ‘fight to defend their land if Ukraine tries to invade.’ Wanting to absolutely reclaim Crimea is mostly a US/NATO obsession, again, Sevastopol providing a clear and logical reason why.

Ukraine would have been free to join the EU and it could have freely embraced the charade of “democracy” under an IMF-led, Western-set government focused on privatization and resources and raping the Ukrainian people—metaphorically speaking—as has been underway since 2014.

No longer mentioned in mainstream media albeit once a point of humanitarian concern in between 2014 and 2021, one I mentioned but never emphasized as well as I’d hoped: The Kyiv government has proven, without a doubt, that it was perfectly willing to sacrifice the lives of Crimean citizens—as for those in the Donbass—in order to save them from Russian oppression, should that make any sense. Cutting water, electricity, and other resources, and milking a situation that made it impossible for people to collect their pension or welfare cheque, etc., it’s Kyiv that’s guilty of that, as they ignored the Minsk agreements that three world leaders (Poroshenko, Merkel, Hollande) have admitted were signed just for show in order to buy time to build up Ukraine’s army, Kyiv and the collective West never intending to honour their word.

Yet, on day two of the Bombing Coalitions retreat in Vilnius, Lithuania, Zeeskyy, in regard to the possibility of a peace deal, claimed: 

“We will never exchange any status on the territory, even if it is some village with one grandfather.”

Wait! Surely, he means other than 'the possibility of a NATO status' status, right? 

•     •     •

Little known fact, among many that contradict the "imperial" and "invasion" view held by imperialist-supporting people: Prior to 2022, Putin had never wanted to annex the Donbass; the proof is there that he's always insisted that the Donetsk and Luhansk be considered autonomous zones within the Ukraine.

Kyiv had every opportunity to squelch the civil war it started, but preferred to continue fighting its own citizens and to lock up and torture—often disappear—anyone who supported the lamely-labelled "Russian-backed separatists." Gonzalo Lira, an American even if unliked by leftists, is one such example, having been arrested for being guilty of commenting on the war.

People were pummeled with lies they now believe is the truth; I believed them, too, until I examined the claims. From security guarantees to Shokin and Zeeskyy's latest statement, the "official version" can't be officialised, which you'd know if you put in just a bit of effort and tried to peak below the surface.   

And that’s true for most of what people readily spit back to assert that Putin is evil and presents a veritable threat to the security of Europe and the world.    

Is Putin an evil bastard? Possibly. However, one can't know from the info plastered across Western outlets since 2008—they liked Putin plenty before then—although, not unless one simply and stupidly accepts that the contradictions, counterfactuals, and narrative/info gaps that are sure to become evident with just a preliminary and superficial but honest overview of the accusations, especially if one follows the links provided in articles and Wikipedia entries, and takes in the myriad tricks employed to fool people. 

So, repeat the establishment narrative and insult those who don't as if you're the sensible one, but what I'll bet my money on, knowing without a doubt that one or the other is true: you're either severely indoctrinated or you're a shockingly intellectually-lazy bigot who gobbles up whatever the establishment puts out no matter how full of holes and steeped in xenophobic stereotypes it may be.

Your moral posturing is worth as much as an ice cube sold as fire starter to a freezer-filled and water-plentiful society that's got lots of matches, too.

The attitude and venom seen and endured translates into trying to sell said ice cubes with the threat of a rusty knife.  

I've provided many "receipts" in previous posts for all that I touch on above, with more to come that I've been wanting to organise into a fact checking-styled area. This post is a partial review of sorts, I suppose, and a way to contextualize many aspects relating to the general political view that informs the focus that's adopted—but ever changing, per evidence—doing so without reading all that's on the previous street (transferring all those posts isn't as easy as one probably assumes it to be, and I'm still undecided on a course for those).  

There’s far too much that’s missing from the unidimensional finger-doodle that’s been painted by liberal media and the Biden Bunch, and it’s been upsetting—but mostly disturbing—to see so many behave with the conviction that theirs is a complete picture, readily insulting or trashing anyone who dares challenge the deeply-indoctrinated shade of hatred that's been allowed to connect the dots for them, drawing the false dimension forcefully impressed across the collective West.

Can there be a more moronically puerile attitude than the one that’s betrayed through instant retorts that qualify someone as a “Putin apologist”, “Tankie” or similar, and accusing them of supporting an imperialist 'thug' whilst believing that saying “Who invaded who?” is an end-all argument and gotcha?

Yes. Doing so while cheering for the country that imposed its over 800 military bases and a hefty debt on nations across the globe.

Sadly, because the USA is the victim of an all-important and severely-acute hegemonic addiction, Ukraine was imposed a high-friction threeway, and there's the rub, which, like grasshoppers becoming locusts, transformed Ukraine into an ‘abscess’ that had to be popped.

No offense intended; I'm not calling Ukrainians puss or saying that the nation is a zit, but the USA is definitely no Clearasil. 

Uh... um. You get the point, I'm sure. 

Here, lemme shift from teen-talk and aim for more inclusive, LGTBQ-friendly language (maybe?): 

The one-pole-people are butting heads, facing the down side of up as they stroke a hatred for the many-poled persons, continuing to throb with a penetrating desire to depolarize cocky leaders seeking to partake in an orgy of eager poles with swelled heads who dream of being Free Willys, and to 'rip a new one' in these and all those who still have the balls to screw the West by attempting to erect a self-sustaining pole, no matter how hard it may be.

Hoping to hit a G-spot is like wanting to live a myth. If not an original G-7 greatness.

As such: For those who've been forced to get down on their knees once too often, maybe to pray? For those who constantly get shafted, as a beam of joy? For those continually seeing themselves having to bend over, perhaps to pick up a nickel? For those no longer wanting to swallow their load, of BS? If your boss continues to stick it to you, sexual partners are always blowing you off, and the world keeps fucking you over, then, for they, them, and you, don't go soft, perk up, and stop bemoaning the small stuff!

To score, we must treat each other fondly, and we must whip and prod ourselves into action and avoid whatever friction sets one off and moaning to a God our Gina. We must take firm control, with both hands, and harden our resolve. We must also be social lubricants for change, and to not be ashamed to slip and slide across all bodies and organisations, managing to touch as many as we can in order to build a growing excitement that rises toward an inevitable climax, the synergy of vibrating masses letting us overwhelm armed grunts so we can finally penetrate carefully-guarded rims and realms—punching a new hole—these sure to offer a back-door solution leading to a place where all poles can be happy, ditto if one wants to be pole free.

Surest way to tell that a Freedom pusher is a fake, offering you a false freedom that's burned their own brain cells? When they don't give a shit about your thoughts and feelings on Freedom 'cause there's only one good version, theirs, and the only options offered are to take it, or leave it and grab a sanctions package on your way out.

The Biden Bunch and the optionless Bendable Buddies are dead set on reaching their goal; the USA's role as the rules-perverting hegemon depends on it.

China is the "real battle", which can't be had with a strong Russia, so... not sure how that one isn't just as real, but OK.

What's also real are Western world leaders determined to increase the tension to a violent breaking point that would have placed the US' NATO in a position whereby Russia's future would have been perpetually uncertain, always facing an imminent attack; a potential demise. It does suck huge hairy meatballs—says an Italian from Virginia—that the timeframe was matched against a period when the collective West finds itself devoid of diplomats and low on loving and logical leadership, but it may have sucked bigger and hairier ones still if with a more experienced and cunning cabinet, and a President with the wherewithal of a 69-year-old-man and the passion’ of a Lindsay Graham.

We'd already be dead?

A 10-Dec-2014 piece in the reliable, California-based Truthout (screenshot, right) offers the same conclusions in its initial paragraphs, it's author being a tad more explicit in their choice of qualifiers.

In the propaganda campaign being waged by the NATO countries and the government of Ukraine against Russia and in support of Kiev’s war in the east of the country, the events in Crimea of the past nine months occupy a pivotal place.

The secession from Ukraine that followed the March 16 referendum vote in Crimea is the number one pretext to justify the war as well as NATO’s rising aggression in Eastern Europe.

NATO might be upsetting the entire military and political balance of Europe by continuing to push eastward today in Ukraine, but the drumbeat of Western government and media propaganda claims the heightened tensions of this past year are all Russia’s fault. Russia’s supposed annexation of Crimea in March is the example par excellence that a new “Russian aggression,” harkening back to Soviet Union times, is afoot. It must be stopped at all costs before Ukraine falls, too.

In this made-up world, Kiev’s murderous, illegal war against its own population disappears. 

And a fierce, all-pervasive propaganda campaign it is, one that relies on devoted tribalists to pound in the lies into those who attempt to question them.

•     •     • 

It’s maddeningly dishonest, or deeply ignorant, to say that Russia’s fears weren’t amply justified, and doubly so to actually believe that, the US kind being non-existent, Russian imperialism, however, along with a Czarististic fetish, were what had motivated Putin’s decision to launch an SMO, or, for that matter, what lay behind Georgia, Syria, or…

To push that as the reality, lots has been written and said—and many censured—but a hard look at facts and recent history makes it a hard one to substantiate.

All the West’s Russian oligarchic heroes who are hailed as poor human rights victims of a brutal Putin so happen to be individuals who took advantage of a bad situation to render legal the illegal purchase of state-owned entities for spittle on the Rouble. Which leads me to wonder: Why aren’t you fighting for Bernie Madoff if you truly believe that such people are fierce martyrs?

Those who are said to have been killed for opposing Putin have, in fact, met their end for reasons relating to local politics, some business, organised crime, and an angry oligarch.

All the poisonings that get repeated are empty allegations of such based only on speculation, the automatic accusations establishing clear guilt—no trial necessary—and yet, oddly, proof not having been offered though we are told is there, the US refuses to release the result of one highly-mediatized victim’s blood test, though they affirmed that Putin ordered the poisoning then went totally silent on the matter after receiving the vials, though the media and pop culture reaffirm the killings as Putin's... For many cases, having dug for more than hearsay, I can't help but see a Western hand playing a part in the homicidal acts it then exploited to paint the evil Putin that Westerners seem to know so well. 

Also, as for Nordstream, many of the accusations against Putin or Russia simply don’t make sense if one examines the “who" concerning the "gains" and "loses" side of things.

And lurking in the background of the other “attacks” and “attempted invasions” that Westerners instantly point to in to order to stamp a seal on Russia being evil are US-led or linked entities that clearly acted as instigators.

The NGO scheme... It's become a pure cancer for any country not in line with US-led plans, as did the whole despicable "destabilisation" industry that mushroomed since the 90s, paying ideological hemorrhoids acting as people big bucks—usually as "grants"—to have them inject and fortify a political cancer in a society, which, if a target, entails relentless persistence from a, usually, Anglo-Saxon, Western-government-endorsed and corporate-backed scum-based tumors who'll happily do harm to a nation so greedy a-holes who don't live there can make mad money while preaching the virtues of Freedom & Democracy.

But they create things called  "jobs", echoes a condescending murmur.

Sure, until someone is willing to step in and call it a human rights violation. And, since some resource is sure to be at the heart of it all, their environment is sure to have suffered acts that can only be characterised as "rape" given the brutally callous, selfishness, and power-lust that fuels such behaviour.

Since WWII, as they rubbed elbows with veritable sickos responsible for worse deeds than I've been able to unquestionably pin on Putin, the foes that the US identified as world threats all potentially shared two, but definitely one, characteristic: most leaned toward, or embraced, socialism; all refused to bend to US' will, having proven to be a hindrance to their (usually, corporation-benefiting) plans.

Everything the White House says it stands for? Complete BS.

The effect is waning but rather than being good, more effort has been placed on fooling all that the US—and those it calls allies—are morally just and virtuous and always aim to do good, and any attempts to draw an equivalency with any nation the US calls evil is like saying that, not only did Jesus Christ fart, his smelled just like Bob's farts. That's insane! Total crazy talk.

That all stinks too much for me.

Regarding that new NATO leader:

With the now typically murky logic with which US President Joe Biden arrives at certain decisions, he "snubbed" a choice that faced no other opposition, saying “no” to UK's Secretary of State for Defense Ben Wallace.

In response, UK’s The Telegraph announced Biden’s arrival in UK for a brief pre-NATO summit visit with the headline: “Here comes Biden, the world’s worst diplomat.”  

In many parts of the world, USA, too, his low popularity slides increasingly toward animosity while his memory slips into…? Wait five minutes, and his feelings won't be hurt anymore. 

To counter his refusal, Biden, i.e., the US Establishment, voiced a clear preference for Ursula von der Leyen, currently President of the European Commission.

Typical. "Most rightwing" and "worst human" are usual characteristics that infom CIA preferences, and, von der Lying... Bitch?

My feelings on the matter: Physics and Marvel movies strongly suggest that we live in but one version of an infinite number of possible universes, this idea referred to as the multiverse theory of the universe.

We can thus posit that, in at least one universe, Hitler is actually a woman. If I imagine Hitler as a chick, Ursula VDL—the name of a venereal disease in another dimension, certainly—is what comes to mind.

Therefore, we live in the universe that contains both female and male versions.

And her nomination upsets me. Veritably so.

What is China's true menace? Surpassing the US? Looking at numbers that matter, not GDP fallacy, China's already topped the ladder.

Business and print magnate Conrad Black offered last April—in the National Post newspaper he founded—a claim that showcases everything that's wrong with the mindset and framing under which Western leading elites operate.

What Black is really saying is: Look at me, I'm an ultra-arrogant, authoritarian POS with a big navel but no brains.

Well, he is as WASPy as they come, after all...

China has not indicated that it possessed imperialist ambitions. None.

To willingly seek to undermine such a culture, to undertake its destruction, impede growth; to apply the necessary suffering, all to retain one's self-granted, yet ill-gotten and destructive, dominant authority? As if to maintain the topmost position in a system of one's own design, drawn up to lord one's will over all dominions and imposed on the world as "Freedom", the blinding arrogance leading them to envision their own reflection in others, these being those with whom they fail to communicate, making no attempt to understand, never seeking to connect. Equally. Meaningfully.

At this moment in time, detrimental to all is the type of border-bound and nationalistically-aimed "who's the best" empty competition that, per any logic, assigns more  value to a passport than on humanity, this once an inseparable part of USA's identity—this is changing.

But there's a challenger for the "Top Idiots" spot.

Which brings me to India... sigh.

So not impressed.
