Russophobia

Since the beginning of the Sochi Olympics in Russia, the amount of vitriol and mean-spiritedness of the US government and media has been amped up to nauseating levels.

Constant barrage of news about “terror alerts” in Sochi and how “unsafe” it is, as well as the myriad of tweets, posts, and stories on US and their slave-state news networks about double toilets and other deficiencies in the construction of the buildings in Sochi, have deliberately been hyped up in order to embarrass, insult and denigrate Russia.

Never mind that most of these images and videos of supposedly shoddy construction have been either faked or taken in some other country, then dishonestly presented as being in Sochi.

Why this propaganda campaign against Russia? Simply because Russia has been winning important diplomatic victories over the looney US establishment for years now, most recently in Syria.

Also, one fact the US media isn’t talking about is WHY the construction of the Sochi venue has been such a thorn in the US side, and has been getting such bad publicity in the US media.

It’s because of the fact that Russia’s construction of Sochi and the surrounding region was financed by money pulled out of US treasury securities since 2010, which deprived the US government and their scummy Wall St. buddies out of profits.

The US regime and its banker/corporate rulers don’t like it when a foreign country uses its own money for development, instead of just stuffing it into some scummy US bank, like Goldman Sachs. Let’s remember than GS lost out on 98% of investment deals in Libya after Moammar Ghaddafi objected to their terms. And we all know what happened to him thereafter . . .

The chaos being orchestrated in the Ukraine is being financed and coordinated by the US, EU and NGOs which serve as fronts. The aim is to overthrown the elected government and replace them with compliant buffoons of the west.

But it’s also a way to hit Russia indirectly. The Sochi Olympics serve as a damper on Russia’s options and actions.

But those Olympics will be over this weekend.

Vladimir Putin, who is also the target of US/EU intrigue will awake and won’t allow the Ukraine to be used as a base of US/EU/NATO operations and terror against Russia.

The US always ridicules those it is scared of, cannot control, or if they’re too strong to be fought. Vladimir Putin is such a man. That’s why he’s being vilified left and right. All the whining and hype about Putin being undemocratic, authoritarian and repressive is crap. If the US truly wants democracy, it needs to start with itself, followed by its dear allies such as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Israel.

But now we have no less than five examples of how much the US cares about democracy. It supports military juntas in Honduras and Egypt while overthrowing governments which were elected freely by a majority of the population: Hamas in Palestine, Venezuela, Ukraine, Iran, Egypt.

The US government’s response towards popularly elected governments which don’t toe the US policy line is sanctions, threats and fomenting unrest and rebellion.

Repressive and autocratic governments which cater to US interests are protected, defended, and showered with “aid.”

In the junkyard of fake democracies, the US is the biggest clunker on the lot.
