<h2><strong>The Lies Grow More Audacious</strong></h2>
<p>June 07, 2014 “<a
href="http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/">ICH</a>”
- If there were any doubts that Western “leaders” live in a
fantasy make-believe world constructed out of their own lies,
the G-7 meeting and 70th anniversary celebration of the Normandy
landing dispelled the doubts.</p>
<p>The howlers issuing from these occasions are enough to split
your sides. Obama and his lap dog Cameron described the Normandy
landing on June 6, 1944, as “the greatest liberation force that
the world has ever known” and took all the credit for the US and
Britain for the defeat of Hitler. No mention was made of the
Soviet Union and the Red Army, <em>which for three years prior
to the Normandy landing had been fighting and defeating the
Wehrmacht.</em></p>
<p>The Germans lost World War II at the Battle of Stalingrad,
which was fought from August 23, 1942 until February 2, 1943,
when most of the remnants of the powerful German Sixth Army
surrendered, including 22 generals.</p>
<p>Nineteen months previously the largest invasion force ever
assembled on planet earth invaded Russia across a one thousand
mile front. <em>Three million</em> crack German troops; 7,500
artillery units, 19 panzer divisions with 3,000 tanks, and 2,500
aircraft rolled across Russia for 14 months.</p>
<p>By June 1944, three years later, very little of this force was
left. The Red Army had chewed it up. When the so-called “allies”
(a term which apparently excludes Russia) landed in France,
there was little to resist them. The best forces remaining to
Hitler were on the Russian front, which collapsed day by day as
the Red Army approached Berlin.</p>
<p>The Red Army won the war with Germany. The Americans and the
British showed up after the Wehrmacht was exhausted and in
tatters and could offer little resistance. Joseph Stalin
believed that Washington and London stayed out of the war until
the last minute and left Russia with the burden of defeating
Germany.</p>
<p>Hollywood and popular writers have, of course, buried the
facts. Americans have all sorts of movies, such as “A Bridge Too
Far,” that portray insignificant events, however heroic, as
turning points in the war. Nevertheless, the facts are clear.
The war was won on the Eastern front by Russia. Hollywood’s
movies are fun, but they are nonsense.</p>
<p>Russia is again on the outs with “the world community,” because
Obama’s plan to seize Ukraine and to evict Russia from its Black
Sea base in Crimea has come a cropper. Crimea has been a part of
Russia for as long as the US has existed. Khrushchev, a
Ukrainian, stuck Crimea into the Ukrainian Socialist Republic in
1954 when Russia and Ukraine were part of the same country.</p>
<p>When the Washington-imposed stooge government in Kiev recently
declared that it was abolishing the use of the Russian language
and arresting Ukrainians who had dual Russian citizenship and
began tearing down Russian war memorials consecrated to the
liberation of Ukraine from the Nazis, the people in Crimea used
the ballot box to disassociate from Washington’s stooge
government in Kiev, first voting their independence and then
voting for reunification with their mother country.</p>
<p>Washington, and the other G-7 countries following Washington’s
orders, described this Crimean act of self-determination, which
is exactly comparable to the act of self-determination declared
by Britain’s American colonies, to be a case of “Russian
invasion and annexation.” Similar efforts to disassociate from
Kiev are underway in other former Russian territories that today
comprise eastern and southern Ukraine. Washington has equated
self-determination in eastern and southern Ukraine with
“terrorism” and has encouraged its stooge in Kiev to use
military violence against protesting civilians. The reason for
branding separatists “terrorists” is to make it OK to kill them.</p>
<p>It is extraordinary to any learned person that the President of
the United States and the titular heads of state of the Western
European countries would publicly declare such blatant lies to
the world. The world has historians. The world has peoples whose
knowledge vastly exceeds that of the “mainstream media,” a.k.a.,
the Ministry of Propaganda, or, as Gerald Celente brands them,
“the presstitutes.” Whatever name we use, the Western media is a
collection of well paid whores. They lie for money, dinner party
invitations, and speaking invitations with large honorariums and
book contracts with large advances.</p>
<p>I know. They tried to recruit me.</p>
<p>Notice how narrowly Washington defines “the world community.”
The “world community” consists of the Group of 7. That’s it.
Seven countries make up the “world community.” The “world
community” consists of six white countries and Washington’s
puppet state of Japan. The “world community” is the US, Canada,
Britain, Germany, France, Italy, and Japan. The other 190
countries are not part of Washington’s “world community.” In the
neocon doctrine, they are not even part of humanity.</p>
<p>The “world community” doesn’t have the population of single
excluded countries, such as China or India. I haven’t done the
calculation, but probably the land mass of Russia itself exceeds
the land mass of the “world community.”</p>
<p>So, what is this “world community?”</p>
<p>The “world community” is the assemblage of US vassal states.
Britain, France, and Germany were important on the 20th century
scene. Their histories are studied in universities. The
populations had a decent standard of living, although not for
all citizens. Their past is the reason for their present
importance.</p>
<p>In effect, these countries were propelled forward by history,
or by the history important to the West. Japan, being an
appendage of Washington, has tried to become “western.” It is
extraordinary how such a proud, war-like people became nothing.</p>
<p>As I have finally stopped laughing at the presumed non-role of
Russia in the defeat of Hitler, let’s return to the G-7 meeting.
The Big Happening of this meeting was Russia’s exclusion and the
shrinkage of the G-8 to the G-7.</p>
<p>This was the first time in 17 years that Russia was not allowed
to participate in the meeting of which Russia is a member. Why?</p>
<p>Russia is being punished. Russia is being isolated from the 7
countries that the White House Fool thinks constitute “the world
community.”</p>
<p>Obama is angry that his National Security Council and the
morons he appointed to the State Department and UN were so
poorly educated that they did not know that much of the Ukraine
consists of former Russian provinces inhabited by Russians.
These ignorant Obama-appointed morons thought that they could
grab Crimea, evict Russia, and leave Russia without access to
the Mediterranean, thus unable to hold on to its naval base in
Tartus, Syria, the easier for Washington to invade Syria.</p>
<p>Crimea has been part of Russia since Russia completed the
reconquest from the Tartars. I remember the Tarter, or Tater,
ethnics from my visit to Tamerlane the Great’s (Timur as he was
also known) tomb in Samarkand 53 years ago. Today Tamerlane’s
city is refurbished as a tourist site. 53 years ago it was a
desolate place in ruins, overgrown with trees growing out of the
tops of the minarets.</p>
<p>As Obama’s plan to seize Ukraine failed, like every one of his
other plans has failed, Washington’s spokesmen for the vested
private interests have seized on the opportunity to demonize
Putin and Russia and to restart the Cold War. Obama and his
Group of 7 puppets or vassals used the occasion to threaten
Russia with real sanctions, in place of the present propaganda
sanctions that have no effect. According to Obama and his
British lap dog, Putin must somehow prevent the Russian
populations of eastern and southern Ukraine from protesting
their subservience to a neo-fascist government in Kiev backed by
Washington, or else.</p>
<p>Putin is supposed to embrace the Oligarch, a former minister of
the government that Washington overthrew, put in office by a
fake vote in which turnout was a small percent of the
population. Putin is supposed to kiss this corrupt Oligarch on
both cheeks, pay Ukraine’s natural gas bills and forgive its
debts. In addition, Russia is supposed to repudiate the Crimean
people, evict them from their re-unity with Russia and hand them
over to the neo-Nazi Right Sector to be eliminated as
retribution for Russia’s victory over Nazi Germany, for whom
some Western Ukrainians fought. In exchange, Washington and NATO
will put anti-ballistic missile bases on Ukraine’s border with
Russia in order to protect Europe from nonexistent Iranian
nuclear ICBMs.</p>
<p>This is supposed to be a win-win deal for Russia.</p>
<p>The Obama regime used its well-paid NGOs in Ukraine to
overthrow an elected, democratic government, a government no
more corrupt than those in Western or Eastern Europe or
Washington.</p>
<p>The political morons who have England, France, Germany, and
Italy in their hands are wagging their fists at Russia, warning
of more, this time real, sanctions. Do these morons really want
their energy supplies cut off? There is no prospect, despite the
propagandistic claims, of Washington supplying the energy on
which Germany industry depends and on which Europeans depend so
that they do not freeze in the winter.</p>
<p>Sanctions on Russia will wreck Europe and have little, if any,
effect on Russia. Russia is already moving, with China and the
BRICS, outside the dollar payments mechanism.</p>
<p>As the demand for dollars drops, the dollar’s exchange value
will drop. Initially, Washington will be able to force its
vassals to support the dollar, but eventually this will become
impossible.</p>
<p>What the White House Fool, the neoconized National Security
Council, the presstitute media, and subservient Congress are
doing is to support and uphold the policies based on hubris and
arrogance that are leading the US into the abyss.</p>
<p>An abyss is like a black hole. You don’t get out.</p>
<p>Washington’s lies are so blatant and transparent that
Washington is destroying its own credibility. Consider the NSA
spying. Documents released by Snowden and Greenwald make it
completely clear that Washington spies not only on government
leaders and ordinary people but also on foreign businesses in
order to advance US commercial and financial interests. That the
US steals Chinese business secrets is not in doubt. So what does
Washington do? Washington not only denies what the documents
prove but turns the charge around and indicts five Chinese
generals for spying on US corporations.</p>
<p>The only purpose of these indictments hyped by the US attorney
general is propaganda.The indictments are otherwise totally
meaningless, not merely false. China is not about to turn over
five Chinese generals to the liars in Washington. For the
presstitute media the story is a way to move the NSA’s spying
out of the spotlight. China is substituted for the NSA as the
guilty party.</p>
<p>Why doesn’t China, Brazil, Germany and every other country
issue arrest warrants for NSA’s top officials, for Obama, and
for the members of the congressional oversight committee? Why do
other countries always allow Washington to control the
explanation with propaganda first strikes?</p>
<p>Americans are very susceptible to propaganda. They seem to have
a special taste for it. Consider the hate whipped up against
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, a US soldier just released by the Taliban in
a prisoner exchange with the US. The hatred and bloodlust that
the presstitute media have whipped up against Bergdahl has
caused his hometown to cancel the celebration of his release.
The press engineered hatred of Bergdahl has spilled over into
threats against Hailey, Idaho.</p>
<p>What is the basis for the attacks on Bergdahl? Apparently, the
answer is that Bergdahl, like pro-football star Pat Tillman who
turned down a $3.6 million contract to join the Army Rangers and
go to defend freedom in Afghanistan, came down with a case of
doubts about the war. Originally Pat Tillman’s death was
attributed to his heroic action and enemy fire. Then it emerged
that Tillman was a victim of “friendly fire.” Many concluded
that he was murdered, because the government did not want a
sports hero speaking out about the war. As Bergdahl is off the
battlefield, he has to be murdered in the press–like Russia,
China, Iran, Putin, Assad, Crimeans, and the Russian-speaking
population in Ukraine.</p>
<p>In America hate and the cultivation of hate is alive and well.
But not a single moral virtue is.</p>
