Once again, the world is being subject to another bout of anti-Russian conspiracy theories and false flags.
The recent poisoning of an ex-Russian/British double agent, Sergei Skripal with a nerve agent, has immediately been pinned of Russia, again with no evidence.
After the last three anti-Russian conspiracy fests have gone nowhere, now we have this latest absurdity.
In 2014, the west accused Russia of being complicit in the shoot-down of flight MH-17 over E. Ukraine. Russia was said to give the rebel forces the anti-aircraft weapons that were allegedly used to shoot the plane down.
An ‘international’ investigation was done, without taking any Russian counter-arguments or contrary evidence into consideration. As to who the guilty party was, and how it all happened is to this day inconclusive. But Russia was sanctioned nevertheless.
The second bout of anti-Russia campaign of fear and smear was the so-called doping scandal. Russia was said to have a government-sponsored doping program. The chief source for the allegations was Grigory Rodchenkov, the very same person who instituted doping within Russian athletics.
But after much fuss by the IOC, WADA, and western Russophobes about a mass-scale doping program led by the Russian government in which ‘thousands’ of Russian athletes were involved, at the end only a few were declared in violation. But this did not stop Russia from being sanctioned by not being allowed to fly its flag at the recent winter Olympics, and the ban on playing its national anthem.
Last but not least we have the infamous Russiagate scandal. Russia was accused by the Clinton campaign and the Obama regime of ‘interfering’ in the US presidential elections of 2016, hacking voting machines, and DNC servers.
Russia was sanctioned, its diplomats expelled from the US, and relations between US and Russia have been poisoned.
Now the entire Russiagate case has turned out to be bullshit. The entire premise upon which it was based has been dismissed. Yet sanctions on Russia remain.
But before the old pile of bullshit has been given a chance to solidify, we now have the Skripal poisoning that will perpetuate the ‘evil Russia’ mythology into the future.
It seems like when one false attempt to pressure Russia and Putin fails, a new one pops up.
That Russia would poison an old ex-spy, which it has swapped for Russian spies in the west almost a decade ago, and has not targeted him at all for all that time, is preposterous. What does Russia have to gain by this?
Russia has nothing to gain, but British/US, and even Israeli intelligence does. The poison used on the ex-spy is one that the US and the British surely possess, and one which Russia has been officially deemed by the OPCW to be free of. He was poisoned only 8 miles from Porton Downs, a British chemical research and storage facility.
There is another twist to this whole story which points a very strong finger at the UK. Sergei Skripal was in cahoots with the British ex-spy, Christopher Steele, the originator of the infamous ‘Steele Dossier,’ which was the basis for the Russiagate investigation. That dossier turned out to be false, as the Nunes memo has stated.
And with the demise of the Russiagate case, those who were complicit in it are running scared. They surely need to mop up any and all loose ends. Mr. Skripal, with his connection to, and very likely also a source for Christopher Steele, was one such loose end.
If the heat gets too high, Mr. Skripal could very well talk, and expose the whole Russiagate canard, along with the perpetrators in high places. He was definitely a liability to be neutralized.
The timing of this poisoning and the death knell to Russiagate is all too close for comfort.
This is something to consider in this whole strange affair.
But scapegoating Russia is very convenient. It gets the attention off the true culprits, and creates great opportunities for western intelligence and military complexes to increase their power and funding under the guise of ‘fending off Russian aggression.’
It is a true testimony to the failures of the British establishment to pull off such a sloppy, disgusting, and desperate false flag, just to reverse Theresa May’s and the Tories bad fortunes in the face of Brexit and other national failures. Western politicians today know that when their domestic policy chips are down, blaming Russia is a sure way out-as long as they can withhold evidence and control the entire investigative process.
It is also a no-brainer as to why this is all being pinned on Russia.
1. Russia’s successes in Syria have been an irritant to the regime change hoodlums in the west
2. Russia’s recent announcement of new cutting-edge weapons systems which basically render all US and NATO anti-missile defenses useless
3. The ruination of the upcoming World Cup in Russia
4. West wants to make Putin look bad right before the Russian elections on March 18
I suspect that a reason for the whole Skripal poisoning may be some warped MI6 act of revenge against some recent Russian or Syrian operation in Syria that may have taken out some British/US special forces or intelligence agents.
And was the Skripal poisoning actually real? It could've all been choreographed with crisis actors. Those two may have been just 'acting sick,' or maybe given a harmless sleeping pill, and the British establishment is passing it all off as a 'poisoning' to implicate Russia and pressure it to make concessions.
Russia is being punished for diplomatic and military successes, and for withstanding western pressure and past attempts aimed at forcing Russia to cave in geopolitically.
But as a past essay on this blog has stated: policies based on lies are fundamentally unstable and will eventually collapse.
The west, by engaging in desperate politics against Russia is only empowering Russia and its government. Russians don’t believe in all the lies and hype made up about them, and therefore will double-down and view the west with even more contempt.
And there is no victory in it for the US as long as it continues acting in such cynical ways.
