*Q: Why is the Obama Administration Provoking War with Russia?*

*A: So that the Rich American 1% Can Control the World Economy*


The US government - both the Obama administration and the Congress - are 
urging an illegal junta in Kiev, Ukraine (which the US installed) to 
attack the eastern part of the country, where people don’t want to be 
ruled by the Kiev regime. More than 6,000 people have already been 
killed in eastern Ukraine, and the Obama administration is planning to 
send more troops and weapons to continue the slaughter.

/The country of Ukraine, a rich agricultural, mining and industrial 
region in eastern Europe, was part of the Soviet Union until the USSR 
broke up in 1991. Since then, the US has been trying to reduce Russia 
and the other countries that made up the USSR to the economic status of 
third-world countries - mainly suppliers of raw materials for a US-led 
world economy. The result was a depression in Russia in the 1990s worse 
than the Great Depression of the 1930s; even the life expectancy of 
Russians sank. /

When Vladimir Putin became president of Russia in 1999, he reversed that 
precipitate decline. That’s why he’s the world’s most popular leader of 
a major country - and why he’s demonized in the West - not because he’s 
invading Ukraine: he isn’t, although all we hear in the media is 
“Russian aggression.”

/But why is President Obama adding yet another war to the mass murder he 
has committed or supported - illegally - in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, 
Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, and even the Philippines? It’s a proxy 
war, meant to injure seriously the Russian economy and at best force 
regime change in that country, so that Russia cannot contribute to an 
organized Eurasian economy - in concert with China - that will reduce 
the world-wide economic control of the rich American 1%. /

The leading Democratic party strategist, Zbigniew Brzezinski (adviser to 
presidents from Carter to Obama), wrote almost 20 years ago, “It is 
imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges capable of dominating 
Eurasia and thus of also challenging America ... How America 'manages' 
Eurasia is critical ... About 75 per cent of the world's people live in 
Eurasia, and most of the world's physical wealth is there as well, both 
in its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for about 
three-fourths of the world's known energy resources ... America is now 
the only global superpower, and Eurasia is the globe's central arena. 
Hence, what happens to the distribution of power on the Eurasian 
continent will be of decisive importance to America's global primacy and 
to America's historical legacy.”

/In this indirect attack via Ukraine that risks war with nuclear-armed 
Russia, the Obama administration is working for that 1%, not the 
majority of Americans, as Brzezinski readily admits. He writes that, if 
America is to control Eurasia and dominate the world, it cannot sustain 
a popular democracy, because “the pursuit of power is not a goal that 
commands popular passion ... Democracy is inimical to imperial 
mobilization.” /

But “imperial mobilization” - military control in Europe and Asia - is 
the vision that drives Obama and company, and therefore they try to 
mislead the US populace on what they’re doing - and why. Most Americans 
don’t know that US ‘special forces’ - death squads, like “American 
Sniper” - are active in three-quarters of the countries of the world. 
Their activities include kidnapping (“rendition”), torture, and murder - 
all under the excuse of “fighting terrorism,” but in fact part of 
Brzezinski’s “imperial mobilization.” Americans don’t know, but the rest 
of the world does - and we’re hated for it.

/*The war policies of the president and Congress will change only when 
Americans demand they do. That’s why the U.S. government lies and hides 
its mass murder around the world from us.*/


“The general population doesn't know what's happening, and it doesn't 
even know that it doesn't know
... They don't even know what's going on at that remote and secret level 
of decision making.
That's a real success in the long term task of depriving formal 
democratic structures of any substance.”

/--Noam Chomsky/
