the non-diplomatic colonialists….The world is on the edge of nuclear catastrophe in no small part because of the failure of Western political leaders to be forthright about the causes of the escalating global conflicts. The relentless Western narrative that the West is noble while Russia and China are evil is simple-minded and extraordinarily dangerous. It is an attempt to manipulate public opinion, not to deal with very real and pressing diplomacy.
The essential narrative of the West is built into US national security strategy. The core US idea is that China and Russia are implacable foes that are “attempting to erode American security and prosperity.” These countries are, according to the US, “determined to make economies less free and less fair, to grow their. militaries, and to control information and data to repress their societies and expand their influence.” The irony is that since 1980 the US has been in at least 15 overseas wars of choice (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Panama, Serbia, Syria, and Yemen just to name a few), while China has been in none, and Russia only in one (Syria) beyond the former Soviet Union. The US has military bases in 85 countries, China in 3, and Russia in 1 (Syria) beyond the former Soviet Union. President Joe Biden has promoted this narrative, declaring that the greatest challenge of our time is the competition with the autocracies, which “seek to advance their own power, export and expand their influence around the world, and justify their repressive policies and practices as a more efficient way to address today’s challenges.” US security strategy is not the work of any single US president but of the US security establishment, which is largely autonomous, and operates behind a wall of secrecy. The overwrought fear of China and Russia is sold to a Western public through manipulation of the facts. A generation earlier George W. Bush, Jr. sold the public on the idea that America’s greatest threat was Islamic fundamentalism, without mentioning that it was the CIA, with Saudi Arabia and other countries, that had created, funded, and deployed the jihadists in Afghanistan, Syria, and elsewhere to fight America’s wars. Or consider the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan in 1980, which was painted in the Western media as an act of unprovoked perfidy. Years later, we learned that the Soviet invasion was actually preceded by a CIA operation designed to provoke the Soviet invasion! The same misinformation occurred vis-à-vis Syria. The Western press is filled with recriminations against Putin’s military assistance to Syria’s Bashar al-Assad beginning in 2015, without mentioning that the US supported the overthrow of al-Assad beginning in 2011, with the CIA funding a major operation (Timber Sycamore) to overthrow Assad years before Russia arrived. Or more recently, when US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recklessly flew to Taiwan despite China’s warnings, no G7 foreign minister criticised Pelosi’s provocation, yet the G7 ministers together harshly criticised China’s “overreaction” to Pelosi’s trip. The Western narrative about the Ukraine war is that it is an unprovoked attack by Putin in the quest to recreate the Russian empire. Yet the real history starts with the Western promise to Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not enlarge to the East, followed by four waves of NATO aggrandisement: in 1999, incorporating three Central European countries; in 2004, incorporating 7 more, including in the Black Sea and Baltic States; in 2008, committing to enlarge to Ukraine and Georgia; and in 2022, inviting four Asia-Pacific leaders to NATO to take aim at China. Nor do the Western media mention the US role in the 2014 overthrow of Ukraine’s pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych; the failure of the Governments of France and Germany, guarantors of the Minsk II agreement, to press Ukraine to carry out its commitments; the vast US armaments sent to Ukraine during the Trump and Biden Administrations in the lead-up to war; nor the refusal of the US to negotiate with Putin over NATO enlargement to Ukraine. Of course, NATO says that is purely defensive, so that Putin should have nothing to fear. In other words, Putin should take no notice of the CIA operations in Afghanistan and Syria; the NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999; the NATO overthrow of Moammar Qaddafi in 2011; the NATO occupation of Afghanistan for 15 years; nor Biden’s “gaffe” calling for Putin’s ouster (which of course was no gaffe at all); nor US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin stating that the US war aim in Ukraine is the weakening of Russia. At the core of all of this is the US attempt to remain the world’s hegemonic power, by augmenting military alliances around the world to contain or defeat China and Russia. It’s a dangerous, delusional, and outmoded idea. The US has a mere 4.2% of the world population, and now a mere 16% of world GDP (measured at international prices). In fact, the combined GDP of the G7 is now less than that of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), while the G7 population is just 6 percent of the world compared with 41 percent in the BRICS. Above all, at this time of extreme danger, European leaders should pursue the true source of European security: not US hegemony, but European security arrangements that respect the legitimate security interests of all European nations, certainly including Ukraine, but also including Russia, which continues to resist NATO enlargements into the Black Sea. Europe should reflect on the fact that the non-enlargement of NATO and the implementation of the Minsk II agreements would have averted this awful war in Ukraine. At this stage, diplomacy, not military escalation, is the true path to European and global security.

"US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin stating that the US war aim in Ukraine is the weakening of Russia.????" ON WHICH PLANET DOES LOYD AUSTIN LIVE? THE PERVERSE ACTION/REACTION PRINCIPLE DOES IMPLY THAT RUSSIA WILL ONLY STRENGTHEN BY BEING CHALLENGED IN ITS RIGHTFUL DEFENCE OF THE DONBASS PEOPLE. THE USA ARE WEAKENING THEIR OWN MORALS (IF THEY HAD ANY BEFOREHAND) BY PREVENTING THE RUSSIAN REGIONS OF UKRAINE (ADDED 1922 AND 1954) TO BE AUTONOMOUS IN UKRAINE. THE ONLY SOLUTIONS TO THIS CONFLICT ARE TWO WAYS: A PEACEFUL RESOLUTION ACCORDING FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE (LIKE THE IRISH/UK) TO THE DONBASS AND LITTLE RUSSIA REGIONS OR THE COMPLETE ANNIHILATION OF KIEV "TO THE LAST UKRAINIAN" (ON THE GALICIAN SIDE). PLEASE, JO BIDEN/BLINKEN/AUSTIN CHOOSE PEACE AND TELL UNINTELLIGENT unfunny comedian ZELENSKY TO SWALLOW HIS OWN SHIT — ESPECIALLY WHEN HE SPURTS ABOUT CRIMEA AGAIN... CRIMEA IS RUSSIAN.

the fraud of history…..
WE MAY HAVE POSTED THIS ARTICLE BEFORE BUT IT IS WORTH A REVISIT:
BY Gordon Duff
The oligarchs that took control of the United States in the 1880s onward, almost all poorly educated, most mentally unfit and all morally destitute built the mechanisms that made proxy war with Russia possible.
Today, we are going to learn the real roots of the CIA and the lie machine that threatens to set mankind on an evolutionary slide.
With shocking ease, academics, the press and members of Western governments are falling into line with the NATO driven propaganda war against Russia. The shock is not superficial, it is guttural.
As an historian specializing in US foreign policy in the 19th and 20th century, the issue seems to be more of a culmination of a disastrous trend, that of totally erasing reality and replacing it with what seems to be an alternative universe.
One with both training and experience in psychological warfare and chaos theory, one can see the hands of great talents with even greater power.
What is gone is the “baseline.”
By “baseline,” we mean that period when truth ruled over lies, when newspapers reported “facts” and one could assume, generally, that when one formed an opinion, based on “information” that at least some of that information might actually be factual.
That ship has sailed.
What can be said, categorically, is this; the mechanisms that formed our world today hide in shadows, rewriting our history, presenting us with a “certified” reality of hoaxes, false flags, black propaganda and widespread distraction.
Assuring the success of this endeavor is decades, how many no one can guess, of shameful outright lying that has become the root of Western culture itself.
Let us take the clock back a few years, more than 50 in this case. The search is for some “solid ground.” For me, it would be long hours spent with university professors who held varying positions of authority between World War I and World War II. I begin with John Baugham Harrison.
Harrison co-authored the general education text on Western Civilization used at the time by most universities. He had been a “player” since the 1920s and was nearly at the end of his teaching career.
This is how he explained it to be, so very long ago while sitting in Berkey Hall at Michigan State University:
“You know, Gordon, putting together a survey of history after World War I, a history durable enough to explain the Cold War and Vietnam (I had only recently returned from that conflict, thus making me a curiosity) lead not only to a “duality” in approach but one likely to fall well outside the purview of general education as outlined by our “betters” as suitable for state funded institutions.
From the outset, the treaty negotiations, if one were to abuse the term, at Versailles made one thing clear, a dark financial cabal had begun World War I, had grown in power and stature and had gained an irrepressible hunger for more, more war, more death and more control.
Worse still, these self-ordained power elites were typically, as is evidenced, not only less than intelligent but also prone toward malevolence and subject to any whims and hoaxes of the time. They embraced eugenics, crackpot economic theories and gravitated toward secret societies and the occult.
Between the wars, their every effort was spent building the military capabilities that would assure the next world war would be wider in scope, longer in duration and leave a world in chaos and ruin to an extent that their power over man and government would be forever unchecked.”
There is a reason I turn to memory rather than to books and articles. None of this was written, certainly not in any college text for any class I could get into.
Moreover, those who had acted as witness and oft times accomplice to the efforts described by Harrison would only likely express, often with pangs of guilt, their real views in private.
Toward that end, I broadened my efforts, first to China specialist Dr. Paul Varg, and then Dr. David Mead, then on to Dr. Walter Gourlay, America’s then most prominent Russia Specialist. From there…the list got longer. I would speak with them openly as all had a powerful curiosity about Vietnam and many had been combat veterans in one or both World Wars.
It was Dr. James Hooker, alleged CIA recruiter, who set me on the path, initially, examining America’s love affair with Nazi Germany though the Committee of One Million, the America First Committee and the roots of the OSS/CIA.
First of all, the primary goal of the Wall Street/London oligarchs was to build powerful warlike blocs and to do so in the middle of a worldwide depression.
Or we ask, was the depression itself part of that effort? That answer is a resounding “yes.”
Radicalizing Germany by throwing that nation into poverty and despair was not enough. A massive “pump and dump” engineered by the Rothschild owned Federal Reserve, followed by a strangulation of the US money supply was all that was needed to destroy the Western economies, or at least those sectors of the economies that were stupid enough to feed “the beast.”
Money bled from Wall Street through the London partnered brokerage houses, into European banks, and from there into the burgeoning German war economy but first Germany needed a new government.
Wall street supplied that was well, Dupont, General Motors, Ford Motor Company and brokerage like Merrill Lynch and the Rockefeller/Rothschild banks poured cash into German war industry though direct investment or bonds.
As war approached, companies like Standard Oil and others turned to 100% German crews for their tanker fleets and set up partnerships with German concerns like IG Farben, transferring war technologies like synthetic oil and rubber to Germany while withdrawing their US patents.
Auschwitz was an IG Farben/Standard Oil facility with prisoners working in the massive synthetic oil and gas facilities nearby. Other plants, armor plate, weapons, were owned by Silesia Mine and Coal, controlled though Bush owned Union Bank but how were they managed?
This is where we get to the story of the OSS. CIA/OSS founder “Wild Bill” Donovan was a Rockefeller Foundation employee who regularly traveled to Berlin prior to the US entering World War I. After fighting in World War I (with distinction), he became a prominent New York attorney with a curious interest in “intelligence” which sent him to such places as Japan and often returned to Germany, meeting with Nazi leaders who became close confidants.
Simultaneously, the “other hand” of the CIA/OSS was the Dulles brothers, a New York law firm that represented Hitler’s Germany in sales of bonds, protecting patents and in trade negotiations.
Allen Dulles would become the first director of the CIA and, reputedly, planned and executed the assassination of JFK and, of course, oversaw the investigation as well, though Kennedy had fired him from his CIA position earlier.
Allen Dulles spent much of World War II in Switzerland (Winston Churchill had requested he be kept out of Washington for the duration of the war as he was a suspected Nazi spy/ref; personal briefing/highest).
At the end of the war, Allen Dulles merged the new CIA with Germany’s Abwehr under Reinhard Gehlen, forming a curious partnership that would aid Nazi’s in escaping Europe (partnered with the Vatican) while engineering the environment that would lead to the Cold War.
Part of that “environment” was a genocidal crackdown in Korea making use of former collaborators with Japan that would lead to something more akin to a civil war than the “conflict” described universally through the fake history taught today.
Where did the brother go, John Foster Dulles? He became “handler” for weakling president Dwight David Eisenhower and served 8 years as Secretary of State.
What can this cabal be credited with? We can certainly start with the Cold War.
The watershed in Washington at the time was the collapse of Nationalist China under Chiang.
In response, the US turned the military equipment long in storage on Formosa/Taiwan over to France and aided that nation into its attempt to retake its colonial empire in Southeast Asia. Part of the rationale was to prevent a socialist takeover of France itself as became clear after the November 1946 French legislative election.
Only a Cold War such as the one being engineered in Europe today would push France into NATO, that and a promise of returned colonies.
As noted, for those familiar with the story of Dien Bien Phu, Dulles lost confidence in Frances’s communist government under Pierre Mendes, withdrew military support and allowed General Giap to encircle and capture France’s army.
This, of course, allowed the US to take over, to an extent led by another confidant at Michigan State University, Professor Wesley Fischel, head of MSUG, the organization chosen by Dulles to Nazify Vietnam.
What is our lesson here? Simply put, there are no “sources” available to restore our history. Where simply emptying libraries once worked, that and controlling all public education through the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations, now Google can do it with an algorithm while social media giants exert even greater power of deception.
What is lost? This is only a glimpse of the 20th century as it really is.
