Above: Some of the 91,000 German troops taken prisoner at Stalingrad. 
Within a matter of weeks over a quarter of them would be dead. Less than 
6,000 survived the Soviet labour camps and returned to Germany in the 
early 1950s. Paul Craig Roberts described this as the moment when World 
War II was really won.

The corporate media or the so called "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.

I know. They tried to recruit me.

    *The Lies Grow More Audacious*

June 07, 2014 "ICH <http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/>" -  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.

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, /which for 
three years prior to the Normandy landing had been fighting and 
defeating the Wehrmacht./

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.

Nineteen months previously the largest invasion force ever assembled on 
planet earth invaded Russia across a one thousand mile front. /Three 
million/ crack German troops; 7,500 artillery units, 19 panzer divisions 
with 3,000 tanks, and 2,500 aircraft rolled across Russia for 14 months.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I know. They tried to recruit me.

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.

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."

So, what is this "world community?"

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.

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.

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.

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?

Russia is being punished. Russia is being isolated from the 7 countries 
that the White House Fool thinks constitute "the world community."

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is supposed to be a win-win deal for Russia.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

An abyss is like a black hole. You don't get out.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

In America hate and the cultivation of hate is alive and well. But not a 
single moral virtue is.
