Propaganda Reigns In The West
Seeing the two countries as what they are without prejudice, it is apparent that Russia belongs to the righteous and the U.S. belongs to the evil. The obvious fact is left completely unseen by the propaganda of major mass media over many years. Even Japanese are in this situation. Therefore, I think that it is all the more difficult for the American people to admit that their country is evil itself.
A very important part of the article is “The
hate of the enemy keeps Washington’s wars going and conditions Americans to
accept their own loss of liberty…” The point is “the hate of the enemy.”
Policy-makers try to increase the people’s complaints and anger by purposely forcing
them to have a hard life. Policy-makers plot to bring about a war, utilizing
the people’s hatred, which helps them earn an enemy outside. It follows that
without hatred, war will never happen. In any place where people have no
complaint or anger in their heart, it is unlikely that war will take place.
In brief, people’s inner peace is
irreplaceable precious treasure.
Therefore, those who act so as to
particularly stir up hatred against specific race or nation are really the problem.
As a result, they are supporting war directly and indirectly.

The lies about
Russia and Russia’s president have grown so thick, threatening the world with
devastating war, that distinguished Americans have formed the
American Committee for East-West Accord. The members of
the founding board are former US senator Bill Bradley, Jack Matlock who was US
ambassador to the Soviet Union during the Reagan and George H.W. Bush
administrations, William J. vanden Heuvel who was US ambassador to the UN
during the Carter administration, John Pepper who is the former chairman and CEO
of Proctor Gamble, Gilbert Doctorow who is a businessman with a quarter century
of business experience with Russia, and professors Ellen Mickiewicz of Duke
University and Stephen Cohen of Princeton University and New York University.
It is extraordinary
that the cooperation between Russia and the US created over the
decades by successive administrations, beginning with John F.
Kennedy and culminating in the end of the Cold War with
the Reagan-Gorbachev agreements, has been destroyed by a
handful of American neoconservative warmongers in the past year
and one-half. The achievement of a 40-year struggle wiped out overnight by a
handful of insane warmongers who believe that Washington has a right to world
hegemony.
The problem began
with President Clinton violating the promises given to the Russians that NATO
would not be taken into Eastern Europe. This breach of
American promise was followed by the George W. Bush regime withdrawing from the
Anti-ballistic Missile Treaty and changing US war doctrine to permit
pre-emptive nuclear attack by the US on other
countries, principally Russia.
These provocations
were followed by announcement of US missile bases on Russia’s
borders.
The Obama regime
added a coup in Ukraine, long a province of Russia, and the
establishment of a US vassal government that threatens Russian
security.
In the past such
provocations would have led, if not to war, at least to counter-provocations.
However, Vladimir Putin is a cool and thoughtful character, a
credit to the human race. He politely
complains of the provocations, but continues to refer to Washington and the
pseudo-governments of Washington’s vassal states as Russia’s «partners», even
though he knows that they are Russia’s enemies.
Putin responds to
threats, to illegal sanctions, and to incessant propaganda with statements that
governments need to respect each other’s national interests and to work
together for common benefit. No politician in the West speaks in this way.
Western politicians, including non-entities such as Washington’s lapdog UK
Prime Minister David Cameron, issue threats to Russia in violent language that
make Adolf Hitler’s threats seem mild by comparison. Russia could destroy
the UK in a few minutes, and we have the spectacle of the moronic British PM
issuing threats to Russia despite the fact that the UK is not capable of
bringing any meaningful force whatsoever with which to confront Russia. The
lapdog Cameron relies on Washington, just as the moronic Polish government
relied on the «British guarantee.»
The Washington morons think that they are isolating Russia, but what the fools are doing is isolating Washington and its vassals from the world. The large, important countries of Asia, Africa, and South America are allied with Russia, not with Washington. The BRICS--Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa--have created their own development bank and are conducting trade among themselves in their own currencies without use of the US dollar, the failing «world reserve currency».
Save the web
address of the American Committee for East-West Accord eastwestaccord.com
and keep up with their work. Do not rely on the presstitute media. Robert Parry
recently described, accurately, the New York Times as Washington’s version of
Big Brother’s (Orwell, 1984) «Two Minutes of Hate.»
Putin is the image
that the presstitute NYTimes flashes on the screen to evoke the inculcated hate
of «the enemy». The hate of the enemy keeps Washington’s wars going and conditions
Americans to accept their own loss of liberty as habeas corpus, due process,
and right to life crumble in front of their unseeing eyes, eyes
blinded by propaganda.
At the just
concluded St. Petersburg International Economic Forum to which I was invited but
was unable to go, which I regret as I might have been introduced to Russian
President Vladimir Putin, Putin gave believable assurances to a large array of
foreign businesses present that Russia was committed to the rule of law and
that their activities in Russia are safe. If you believe any of the propaganda
fed to you by the Western presstitutes, including Bloomberg, about the
«collapsing Russian economy», you can disabuse yourself of the lies by reading
Putin’s account of the Russian economy.
