Shouting Match--Part 1

The first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden has come and gone.

But it was more of a shouting match than a debate.

If anyone still had any faith in any semblance of decency and civility that remained in the US body politic, then last night’s performance by the two candidates dispelled it.

The pathetic and lying Biden and Trump the clown both talked over each other, interrupted one another, and launched personal attacks at each other the whole time.

It was an ugly and embarrassing spectacle.

Most of what was said by both was based on rumors, out-of-context narratives, and hypocrisy.

Trump was definitely the worse of the two. He made himself look like a petulant juvenile with his constant interjections and interruptions.

Both candidates refused to address their own failures and shady dealings, and take responsibility for their mistakes. They are both convinced that they are right about everything.

Trump, while complaining about the rise in suicides, drug abuse, and divorces due to the COVID19 lockdowns, launched a cheap attack on Biden’s son who had to leave the army because of a drug problem.

Biden still clung to the discredited Russiagate hoax and called Trump ‘Putin’s puppy.’

Trump questioned Biden about the Obama regime's withholding of loans from Ukraine, if it didn’t stop the investigation into Burisma Holdings and Biden's son’s presence on the board of that company; a situation which certainly reeks of nepotism and influence-peddling.

Biden demanded that Trump release his tax returns, which is something Biden already did. Trump obfuscated, as expected.

The finger-pointing went on all evening. Nothing new was offered other than promises that have been offered for decades and never kept.

What was truly missing from the debate was a 3rd party candidate in the center of the stage between these two geriatric gargoyles.

It is so sad that the US, which touts itself as the greatest democracy in the world, has only two parties to choose from. And it has been this way for 177 years. There’s something profoundly wrong with this. There is no such longevity in politics unless it’s forced.

The only winner in last night’s debate was Chris Wallace, the moderator, who probably needed a couple of Advils, or shots of whiskey to get rid of the headache- and heartache-after seeing those two cranks bicker for 90 minutes.

It is true that Trump’s performance as president, and debater, was disastrous.

He has withdrawn from treaties, which has upped tensions and made the world less safe.

His tariffs on China, the EU, and Canada are backfiring after the WTO recently ruled that Trump broke the law and that China, Canada, and the EU now have the right to slap multi-billion-dollar tariffs on the US in response.

His mean-spirited and bullying behavior against the protesters have also made things worse, and at no time did he attempt to calm things down and try to talk to anyone like an adult. He just issued angry and threatening tweets.

For the years he has been in power, Trump has made veiled bigoted references and gestures which emboldened the racist element within US society, giving them an inferred license to do and say things they otherwise would not do, along with a false feeling of immunity from the consequences.

This sense of bravado and culture of impunity engendered by Trump could very well have been the catalyst for what happened to George Floyd. Overzealous cops who sympathize with Trump, and feel encouraged by his antics, no doubt think they have a carte-blanche to indulge their sadistic urges upon whoever they see as bad. They think that Trump has their backs, regardless of what they do.

But is Trump personally coming to these cops rescue after they get themselves in trouble? No.

Trump has a long history of exploiting others, then leaving them in a lurch after something goes wrong. The man is only concerned with his own image and self-preservation. This has been the story of his sordid life so far.

This has all caused chaos in an already unstable and divided country.

The Democrats have exploited the chaos for their own ends, but don’t have any new ideas to deal with it.

Biden’s plans and promises are unoriginal, and just election-year talking points.

He has spent decades screwing the people he supposedly wants to help.

The entire Democratic party staunchly refuses to change. They have railroaded other candidates from their own party, and for decades helped squash the efforts of 3rd party candidates to get on the ballot in states.

The choices in this election are horrible and hopeless. Nothing will get better regardless of which one gets elected.

Trump certainly deserves to lose, but Biden doesn’t deserve to win.

Open Season

It seems to be open season on Russia lately, with false accusations and verdicts raining down on it.

Faced with their own internal incompetence and failures, the US and EU have no other cards to play.

First and foremost, we have the Navalny poisoning hoax that gets stranger everyday.

The people who concocted this seem to be coming up with new evidence every week, but they also seem to be discounting and ignoring any part of the story which doesn’t fit with their pre-arranged conclusion that the Russian government is responsible.

That Navalny may have health problems that could cause unconsciousness, for which there is actual evidence, is being ignored by the poisoning story pushers.

For instance, Navalny’s handlers are now touting as new evidence a supposed water bottle in Navalny’s hotel room that was deemed to be contaminated with the novichok nerve agent.

This water bottle was collected by one of Navalny’s handlers when he left the hotel.

However, questions arise.

First, Navalny didn’t fall ill until he was on the plane. So if that water bottle was tainted with Novichok, then Navalny would’ve never left that hotel alive, and neither would any of his handlers if they came into contact with him, or the bottle.

Second, how did a water bottle with water still in it, get on the plane? Isn’t there a restriction on bringing liquids on-board? So how did this bottle slip by? And if it was empty, why bring it? Wouldn't this bottle get tossed out at the gate area?

Third, why did this water bottle just become available now? Why wasn’t it submitted for analysis to the hospital after Navalny fell ill and was rushed to the hospital?

Did the bottle still contain water, or was it already empty? If it still had water in it, then taking it along is not suspicious, but if it was, then why keep an empty water bottle? But again, why was no one affected by the alleged poison earlier?

Fourth, why keep other things that would normally be thrown out? Possibly to taint them later on?

And finally, why did Navalny’s handlers recently state that it was thanks to the pilot that Navalny was saved, and downplayed the treatment at the hospital that actually saved his life?

By ignoring the efforts of the Russian doctors and medical staff on the ground, could Navalny’s handlers and their conspirators be trying to invalidate and nullify any and all data from that medical facility, since it contradicts their poisoning lies?

Let’s remember that they wanted Navalny to be immediately transported to Germany. Having him checked into a Russian hospital and his blood samples taken was not what they wanted to happen.

Why the insistence on transporting him to Germany first, which is a long trip? Maybe they knew he wasn’t actually in serious danger, and would be okay during the trip? Maybe they had an antidote for whatever fake drug was administered to him to mimic novichok, and a private flight would’ve been the ideal place to administer it at their convenience without prying eyes, thereby curing him?

After all it doesn’t look legit when a supposed victim of an allegedly government-sanctioned assassination attempt by nerve agent poisoning doesn’t die within minutes, is allowed to get an emergency landing, is rescued at a hospital, is allowed to leave Russia, and recovers. These five things wouldn’t happen if anyone in the Russian government wanted him dead.

Germany officially deemed Navalny to be the victim of novichok nerve agent poisoning, and has demanded that Russia conduct an investigation into what happened to Navalny, or face sanctions.

However, Germany has ignored all evidence Russia submitted, demands that Russia investigate this incident, but refuses to share its evidence with Russia, and wants an international investigation without Russia's participation. Navalny also doesn't want Russia to help in any investigation. What does all this tell us?

This is quite a strange version of western jurisprudence. Germany is being blatantly contradictory and evasive here. Why?

Whoever peddles this wobbly and constantly shifting Navalny poisoning story is either a liar, or is being lied to. And what they are doing is despicable and wrong, and in the end it will backfire badly on them, not on Russia or Vladimir Putin.

As the plot falters and the details – along with new evidence - become more implausible, the conspirators behind this Navaly poisoning farce are doubling-down on their lies with more lies. It's either this, or they have to admit the truth.

But they won't, and can't do the latter. As with the Skripals, the lie has gone too far. What will happen now is that the lie will have to fizzle out over time by inertia and be squelched as new problems arise. No one ever will know who did what at the end, with just an insinuation left hanging that Russia did it, without any credible, verifiable evidence to back it up. But as long as the right amount of sanctions are passed against Russia, the culprits won't care.

What will happen is that Germany, along with the rest of the EU, the US, and the corrupt OPCW are going to initiate an international investigation, but one which will only include those who have bought the Navalny novihok poisoning story, and closed to everyone who questions any part of it.

It is evident that the investigation will be a sham, biased against Russia, and reach an already decided-upon conclusion that serves the political whims of the people who are making up this Navalny farce.

This all seems to fly in the face of Germany’s best interests. The worsening of relations with Russia is not beneficial to it in the long-term. Yet, Merkel seems to be doing a Kabuki dance. What’s going on? Did someone get to her? Does someone have anything on her?

Unfortunately, Germany is still tied to the US too much. The BND (German intel service) is basically a subsidiary of the CIA, and many people in Germany still rely on subservience to the US for their careers, paychecks, and lives.

There is a heated battle going on in Germany between the old cold war-era Russophobes (children and grand-children of bitter ex-Nazis and their sympathizers) and those who want to move on and do business with Russia. It is hard to tell who has the upper hand right now. Time will tell.

It cannot be ruled out that this was some false flag perpetrated by private persons whose motivations are commercial and financial, and who want to target Russia for their own nefarious, self-serving reasons. And they appear to have allies in certain governments who are colluding with them.

What are the motivations of those who put together this poisoning farce?


Nord Stream 2

The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline has been a bone of contention between Germany and the US.

The US regime of Donald Trump, and the previous Obama regime, did not like the fact that this pipeline will deliver more Russian gas to the EU, thereby generating billions in revenue for Russia.

The US has been seeking to politicize the entire project by scaring the participants with notions that the NS2 project will enslave Europe to Russia.

But the US regime’s real desire is to see the EU dump Russian gas supplies for more expensive US LNG.

To that end, the US has enlisted the help of compliant lackeys like Poland, Baltic states, and to some extent Denmark and certain parts of the German establishment to lobby against the pipeline’s construction.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, along with the dimwitted Trump, have been threatening all companies involved with sanctions. They have been doing everything to block this project for some years now.

Pompeo remarked a few months ago that the US will do everything to stop the construction of the NS2 pipeline.

And voila! Navalny suddenly gets poisoned, and immediately there are calls to cancel the NS2 project from the US and its faithful lackeys in the EU.

How convenient!

If this Navalny poisoning farce leads to the cancellation of Nord Stream 2, then Russia should stop piping gas to the rest of Europe through Poland and Ukraine. Enough is enough. If they don't like Russian gas going through pipelines in the EU, then they won't have them. They can connect to South Stream, Turk Stream, or buy Russian LNG (still cheaper than US). Or they can buy expensive LNG from the US and the filthy zionists and watch their economies suffer and become less competitive.

The Germans could simply be bluffing, and just want to rattle Russia to give in politically regarding Belarus; and are using the threat of canceling NS2 to get Russia to abandon Lukashenko and let the EU have its way there. However, Germany won't abandon the project, as it is vital for its economy. Putin should call their bluff.

And why is it that NS2 is bad, yet piping Russian gas through Poland and Ukraine is okay? Why isn’t Trump threatening Poland and Ukraine with sanctions for transporting Russian gas to the EU?

Transit fees, anyone?


COVID19 Vaccine

Russia is the first country to develop and mass-produce an effective COVID19 vaccine.

This is an obvious threat to western pharmaceutical companies profits. Those who have an effective vaccine can hold the rest of the world at their mercy.

Much can be gotten from desperate countries as far as favors go.

By giving the world an inexpensive alternative, Russia has destroyed the future profits of western pharma.

The Navalny poisoning hoax serves as a good tool to scare people away from the Russian Sputnik V vaccine to erode trust in any Russian-made medicines, and suggest that the Sputnik V vaccine could kill you. This would obviously serve the financial interests of US and EU pharmaceutical companies.


Belarus

The recently attempted color revolution in Belarus has failed, due to Russia’s political and diplomatic intervention.

The staunchly and blindly pro-western candidate received only 10% of the vote, yet passed herself off as the winner, according to her own private poll.

The US and their EU myrmidons duly recognized her as the president, a rehash of their flirting with the un-elected western stooge Guiado in Venezuela.

Belarus, with its $150 billion in annual revenue is ripe for the plucking. Its industries are low-hanging fruit for the western vultures, along with the IMF and the World Bank.

Dragging Belarus into the western orbit and the EU and NATO would be a serious strategic threat to Russia, because it would bring US military forces a couple of hundred kilometers from Moscow.

Therefore, Belarus is a prime target for regime change. By preventing this scenario, which was planned ahead of time before the Belarusian elections, and accompanied by false flags and other strange incidents sponsored by western intel and NGO outfits, Russia has seriously upset US and NATO strategic plans of undermining Russia.

The people who created this poisoning farce may also be trying to make Navalny into some sort of a living hero-martyr within Russia, and raise his popularity and electoral chances; in tandem with their bought-and-paid-for Belarusian marionette housewife pretend-president.


China

Russia’s strategic partnership with China is a nightmare for US world hegemony. Ever since Russia and China initiated their strategic and economic cooperation in 2007, the US has been trying to undo this by sanctions and threats.

The Ukrainian Maidan in 2014 was one semi-successful attempt at doing so.

But as China grows stronger and the US weaker, this naturally also strengthens Russia’s stance.

The US has been employing all sorts of dirty tricks and false flags to weaken and isolate Russia in order to pressure it politically to abandon China.

Accusing Russia of having a hand in the shootdown of MH17, Skripal poisoning farce (right before the 2018 World Cup in Russia), colluding with Assad to use chemical weapons in Syria (everytime when Syrians were winning on the ground), paying bounty to the Taliban to kill US soldiers, and now the Navalny poisoning hoax; all these absurdities and lies have been created to bring Russia down diplomatically, politically, and economically.

The aim is to weaken Russia to the point that it will relent, and do what the US and the EU want.

But this will not happen. Russia and China both see through the plot, and won’t allow themselves to be dictated to.

Those days are over.


Dollar

Russia has been moving away from the dollar in trade and financial transactions. Since last year, its share of dollar holdings has fallen significantly.

By dumping the dollar, Russia is basically refusing to recycle US debt, which makes it more difficult for the US to stay afloat, and afford its empire of military bases. China has been doing the same, hence Trump’s sanctions tantrums.

The Navalny poisoning farce has occurred right after, or in the midst of these events mentioned above. The timing is quite convenient, but not for Russia, which has nothing to gain by poisoning a political nobody with 2% public support and strange, xenophobic ideas.

Russia should launch an investigation, and announce that Navalny was most likely poisoned by a British or US agent, or perhaps one of his assistants, and demand that these countries provide answers, or devastating sanctions will follow. If anyone wants proof, Russian government should say it’s classified. Two can play this game.

Apart from the Navalny poisoning farce, the Polish government, led by the pro-US, anti-Russian PiS party, has demanded the arrest of the Russian air traffic controllers at the Smolensk airport, who were on-duty the day that the Polish Tupolev with Polish President Lech Kaczynski and other officials on-board, crashed due to poor visibility in 2010.

The anti-Russian forces for 10 years have been trying to come up with all sorts of convincing absurdities to pin the blame on the Russian side.

They have accused Russia of planting a bomb on-board the plane, of shooting it down, of directing the plane to land on a 2nd runway, even though the airport had only one runway, deliberately creating 1,500km of artificial heavy fog to cause the crash, and of accusing the previous President Donald Tusk of conspiring to murder Lech Kaczynski, who was his political foe.

Now, the Polish regime has accused the Russian air traffic controllers of deliberately directing the plane in such a way to make it crash.

The fact is that the people who are responsible for that plane crashing all died on it that day, and the investigation ended the moment that plane hit the ground.

Evidence from the black boxes shows that the pilot insisted on landing the plane in bad weather, even after Russian air controllers advised him to go to another airport.

But some impatient people on-board may have forced him to make that fatal landing, because they didn’t want to be late for a ceremony at the Katyn memorial.

The Polish side doesn’t want to admit that the actions of the pilot, possibly under pressure from the president, who was a member of the same party which controls Poland today, cause this catastrophe. Doing so would be very embarrassing, politically suicidal, not to mention open up a heap of wrongful death lawsuits.

Better to just blame Russia, without offering any credible evidence.

Another constant thing about these strange events and false accusations against Russia is that they always seem to come at a time when Russia experiences any sort of an economic, political, or diplomatic victory, or any successes.

The social and economic turmoil in the US, and the upcoming presidential election there is also adding fuel to this mayhem, and is causing the failing US establishment to make up fake news and trouble anywhere it is convenient.

In the end, when looking at all these false accusations and farces, it all comes down to who benefits.

And as it has been shown here, it definitely isn’t Russia.

Much about these poisoning hoaxes and other lies just doesn't add up, and there are too many glaring omissions and holes in the official stories pushed by the people who peddle and promote them. The accused never get a chance to defend themselves, and any evidence they provide to do so it ignored. 

These so-called internationally-led investigations, MH17 crash, Skripal, Smolensk, and Navalny, have all been/will be kangaroo courts with pre-determined, political verdicts. There is no justice to be had there for the falsely accused.

Let’s now hear from the venerable Mark Twain, and what he had to say about the crop of bastards that are really responsible for such nonsense:

"“We are of the Anglo-Saxon race, and when the Anglo-Saxon wants a thing he just takes it.”

That utterance was applauded to the echo. There were perhaps seventy-five civilians present and twenty-five military and naval men. It took those people nearly two minutes to work off their stormy admiration of that great sentiment; and meanwhile the inspired prophet who had discharged it–from his liver, or his intestines, or his esophagus, or wherever he had bred it–stood there glowing and beaming and smiling, and issuing rays of happiness from every pore–rays that were so intense that they were visible, and made him look like the old-time picture in the almanac of the man who stands discharging signs of the zodiac in every direction, and so absorbed in happiness, so steeped in happiness, that he smiles and smiles, and has plainly forgotten that he is painfully and dangerously ruptured and exposed amidships, and needs sewing up right away.

The soldier man’s great utterance, interpreted by the expression which he put into it, meant, in plain English–

“The English and the Americans are thieves, highwaymen, pirates, and we are proud to be of the combination.”

Out of all the English and Americans present, there was not one with the grace to get up and say he was ashamed of being an Anglo-Saxon, and also ashamed of being a member of the human race, since the race must abide under the presence upon it of the Anglo-Saxon taint. I could not perform this office."

--Mark Twain

Poisonous Trumpian Diplomacy

The US has suffered some humiliating diplomatic and political defeats in the past month.

The attempt by Pompeo to trigger UN snap-back sanctions on Iran on September 20th was really a power-play aimed mainly against Russia and China.

US wants to force its own edicts on them. The EU states have also refused to go along with US anti-Iranian temper tantrums.

But it doesn’t really matter what the EU does or doesn’t do.

Let’s not forget that even though the EU says that it is still in the deal, and has refused to toe the US line at the UN, it has up to now succumbed to US pressure and stopped doing business with Iran since 2018. So the EU can afford to snub the US as it has nothing to lose anymore. The EU is having it both ways; staying in the JCPOA while not abiding by it.

The US is doing all this to get the JCPOA annulled.

But there is also another angle to this.

The EU, Russia, China, and many others definitely have Trump fatigue, and want to see him go. So the EU may just resist Pompeo’s demented and illegal dictates, and refuse to succumb to any further sanctions pressure, like it has been doing in order to deny Trump any sort of a diplomatic victory, further embarrass him, and isolate his regime. By doing so, the EU hopes that this will make Trump look weak and erode his chances of winning re-election.

Any US attempts to trigger the snap-back will fail, but will also cause problems for the authority of the UN. The US has no legal right to trigger sanctions since it left the JCPOA in 2018. Yet, if it forces a clearly illegal mandate onto the rest, and succeeds, then what will come next? It may force its own laws and dictates as UN law by citing any absurd reason.

The best option will be for the rest of the UNSC members, as well as Iran, is to stick to their guns and basically ignore US demands as having no legal merit, and call the US bluff.

The US regime is simply trying to intimidate enough people to make an illegal act legal. By ignoring the US, they will call Pompeo’s bluff, and US will be left with a strike three.

Another example of diplomacy-on the-cheap is the recent UAE-zionist deal Trump helped to broker.

This so-called deal is just a pathetic consolation prize over the failed 'Peace Plan' Trump tried to roll out. No one was going to go for it. So Trump has been reduced to squeezing out pointless favors from 2nd rate Gulf state vassals to make himself look good. He hasn't had one single quality foreign policy success yet, and is just trying to make up for it with poor substitutes, like the Kosovo deal.

Trump's presidency has degenerated into running errands for the zionists. This is so incredibly sad.

Along with this, we have the Navalny poisoning, which reeks of fraud, just like the Skripal poisoning in 2018.

By insinuation and innuendo, Russia is being accused of trying to poison Navalny with the novichok nerve agent, again without any credible evidence.

But why would Russia want to do so at this time, against a person who has very little popular support, fail to kill him with a lethal nerve agent, save his life in a hospital, then allow him to be transported to Germany for a diagnosis?

If Russia wanted him dead, there are many more subtle and convincing ways to do it.

And right away, we have the usual suspects demanding the cancellation of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project, as punishment for Russia poisoning a political dissident.

We can see who stands to gain from this so-called poisoning plot, and it isn’t Russia and Putin.

Let’s not forget that before this latest poisoning drama, Mike Pompeo declared that the US will do everything to stop the Nord Stream 2 project.

Some years earlier, Mike Pompeo told an interviewer that at the CIA, he was taught to lie, cheat, and steal.

Whatever happened to Navalny was either caused by him taking something, or by health problems possibly brought on by diabetes, with which he has had issues with in the past.

But nefarious people in the anti-Russian camp are dressing all this up to look like a poisoning for self-serving political purposes.

It took a week and a half for this poisoning diagnosis to be announced by a German hospital, and only after Navalny’s care was suspiciously taken over by the German army and NATO.

Navalny’s condition was not the result of a poisoning. It looks like a setup to punish Russia for its refusal to support UN sanctions on Iran, for being the first to develop and roll out a working COVID19 vaccine, and for preventing another Maidan scenario in Belarus.

This is a pattern that has been evident for years. Whenever Russia achieves a diplomatic, strategic, or economic victory or an accomplishment of any kind, suddenly some bad incident occurs that is blamed on Russia to make it look bad.

We saw that before the World Cup in March 2018 with the Skripal farce, and we are seeing it now with the Navalny farce.

Recently, Belarus signals intelligence intercepted a voice communication between a Polish individual and an English speaker where details of this Navalny poisoning were discussed, and how this is to be used against Russia.

But none of this nonsense will succeed. The lack of proof, and the refusal of the accusers to cooperate, and provide Russia with any evidence to prove their poisoning hypothesis will turn this entire affair into a nothingburger.

This is all clearly a lie being used against Russia by the US and its lackeys for obvious purposes. This can only fool the Russophobe morons, but has no validity behind it.

The US also has a tradition of snuffing out a failing/failed patsy. Having built them up with lots of PR, pomp, and cash to no avail, they become more useful when hurt or killed, if and when they fail to reach their assigned objectives. Their demise is then used as a political cudgel against whatever government or leader the US regime doesn't like in that country.

This is just a warning for all aspiring US wannabe tools: think about what you are doing, or the US may dispose of you, if you're no longer useful to them. They cannot afford to have a disgruntled ex-patsy walking around out there, talking to someone about their experiences. You will end up shot, poisoned, ran over, or turned into a comatose vegetable.

Maidan Makers Strike Again

The recent presidential elections in Belarus have delivered another term for incumbent President Alexander Lukashenko.

This will be his 6th term since he was first elected in 1994, and accusations of vote-rigging and a supposed crackdown on opposition candidates has generated street protests and violence in Minsk and other cities.

The opposition has cried foul, and announced that Lukashenko cheated, and that their candidate, a housewife named Svetlana Tikhanovskaya won 70% of the vote. Her husband, who was a candidate, is currently in detention for financial crimes.

All this makes Lukashenko look undemocratic and dictatorial.

But where have we seen this before?

For all the paeans about democracy, and concerns about free elections and human rights coming out of Warsaw and other EU state capitals, it is laughable to think that these people care about democracy.

After all, look at Ukraine. The ‘pro-democratic’ opposition turned it into a basket case in every way imaginable. Ukraine today is in worse shape than it was 25 years ago.

Journalists have been killed, minorities treated with disdain, and neo-fascist nationalist fervor has been strong since 2014. Yet, the EU and US grand-poobahs say and do nothing about it. They just feed Ukraine money and weapons.

As for anyone who has to this point been spell-bound by the opposition candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya’s cuddly gestures and playing victim, needs to check her platform.

She wants to take Belarus back to the early 1990s when oligarchs ran the place, and return to the western-imposed, neo-liberal constitution from before 1994.

She also wants to end the Belarus-Russia Union State and other cooperation, and give the country over to the US/EU/NATO gang.

Being an inexperienced shill, she would be a very easy play-thing in the hands of the western powers.

We can see that her bread is being buttered by the same thieves and con-men that put the creatures in Kiev in power.

In the aftermath of the elections, she went to Lithuania, an EU/NATO lackey. This is further proof of who controls her.

Besides, the opposition realistically has about 12% support, so the notion that the opposition candidate got 70% of the vote is questionable, at best.

These protests were standard fare during every presidential election in Belarus since Lukashenko came along.

And the line that Lukashenko has been in office too long and has gone stale are quite disingenuous coming from any politicians and pro-democracy activists in the west, as well as their Belarussian promoters.

Look at Poland. It has had pretty much the same people in government for 20-30 years. They just keep on switching parties and coalitions, and official positions.

Add to that the fact that the recent presidential elections there weren’t entirely on the up-and-up, with complaints about people being unable to vote overseas, other candidates not being given enough campaign time, deliberately being kept out of public television, and some smeared by the ruling PiS party.

The situation is no better in the US where the same faces have been around for decades and just keep on changing job descriptions. Biden, Pelosi, and their republican counterparts keep on popping up here and there. Different titles, but the same old stale agendas and no change worth talking about.

No term limits guarantee that many will die in office.

Both parties in the US are guilty of stonewalling 3rd party candidates and doing everything to keep them from having their say.

The president of Montenegro, a newly-minted NATO lackey, is led by a guy who has been in power for 20 years, but no complaints there from the pro-western crowd.

And what about all the dictators and sheiks in Arab Gulf countries that the US regimes do business with?

What about the zionist state in Palestine? The same guy, Bibi Nothingyahoo, has been prime minister for a total of at least a few decades now. Past officials there have moved from one position to another.

The situation is the same in many other countries.

The west doesn’t like Lukashenko because he refuses to be their puppet, and keeps Belarus on an independent course, refused to sell the country out cheap, and maintained good relations with Russia.

He is responsible for rejuvenating Belarussian society and economy, and today Belarussian education, healthcare, and industry is in good shape.

Belarus puts its Polish and Baltic neighbors to shame in some respects when it comes to economic performance, as Lukashenko did not just mothball and sell off public enterprises to western interests after the fall of the USSR. Belarus today still has something it can call its own, unlike Poland and other EU-member states which were forced to give up, sell off, and close down their industries.

Lukashenko seems not to want his efforts to go to waste, and it is why he’s acting as tough as he is. People need to understand this. Would you want someone else coming in and destroying what you have built over many long years?

Lukashenko may be at times unpleasant and crude, but he’s like that horrid-tasting, but effective medicine one has to take to get well.

Those who are protesting and striking in Belarus are not doing themselves any favors.

They are either naive fools who have bought western propaganda hook, line and sinker, or paid provocateurs sent to destroy the country.

These strikers and protesters are like the Polish KOR (Komitet Obrony Robotnikow) or Committee for the Protection of Workers. It was an opposition outfit sponsored by western powers during Poland’s socialist days. Their job was to induce strikes, gain control of factories in order to sabotage them, ruin Poland’s economy, and cause mass social discontent against the socialist government.

We are seeing similar things in Belarus today.

US and EU want to gain control of Belarus so they can turn it into an EU neo-colony, a NATO base, and another anti-Russian stick, like Poland.

In such a position, the Belarussian people will deeply regret it. Their jobs will evaporate, unemployment will soar, their industries will be sold off or closed down, the country will be saddled with IMF loans, picked clean for pennies, a productive and successful farming sector decimated, prices for everything will go up hundreds of percent while wages stagnate, or are lowered, and taxes raised and new ones created.

The loss of business with Russia will compound these problems many-fold, and all those empty promises of 2,000 Euros per month in salaries will prove to be just an illusion. Others were promised this, and ended up disappointed.

This is the same reality that resulted from the Maidan coup d’etat in Ukraine in 2014.

Belarussians can expect the same thing. They are deluded if they think that the west will solve all their problems and make Belarus into some kind of a paradise.

With all the failures and problems in the EU and US, how can anyone believe in, and trust the empty promises of these two charlatans?

Belarus has no worthwhile, long-term future to look forward to as a US/EU/NATO lackey.

That is why all the Belarussian oppositionists and reformers are not worth a damn. They are sell-outs, and future oligarchs in reformist clothing.

Bear in mind that Belarus is the only country out of the former Soviet states that does not have a firmly-rooted oligarch class. Lukashenko prevented this, and this only helped the country’s development.

Lukashenko certainly can talk to the opposition, but any and all discussions, decisions, and reforms must benefit Belarussians, not some shady foreign interests and institutions.

And anyone who works on-behalf of the US and EU to the detriment of Belarus must be dealt with harshly. There is no room for such traitors and scumbags within Belarus.

There is also an element of danger to all this.

The US, EU, and especially Poland want to see Belarus incorporated into the NATO axis in order to pressure and confront Russia.

Poland specifically is on an anti-Russian, messianic mission to become the dominant power in Eastern Europe. It is a battle that it has fought, and lost to Russia 350 years ago.

This could lead to a future war in Central Europe. A war which Poland and NATO cannot win.

So if countries like Poland, Ukraine, and the Baltic states want to survive in any shape or form, they better  stop meddling in Belarussian internal affairs, and stop stirring up problems and subversion. And they better not assume that because they’re in NATO that they will get through it unscathed.

So Lukashenko could very well be the boulder which prevents all this, so it’s best to leave him be. Better him than war.

Lukashenko has tried to steer an independent course for Belarus, and this has ticked off not only the US/EU gang, but Russia itself. But that is Lukashenko’s and Belarussia’s prerogative, and needs to be respected.

But there will be no Maidans in Belarus. These protests will fizzle out, and Belarus will remain independent. Lukashenko still has a decent amount of support and many Belarussians don’t want to see Belarus become another Ukraine, and a NATO/US lackey.

But if the EU and US provoke Lukashenko with sanctions and other such nonsense, then they will push him toward Russia-which is a better option anyways.

What is clear, is that the longer these so-called democracy protests go on, the more we see the usual suspects and paid promoters come out of the woodwork. They are exposing themselves to the Belarussian security services and police for an easy scoop-up. 

Luakshenko's next order of business after this nonsense should be to alter the political and electoral system so that no paid foreign traitors have a chance of ever being elected, like in Iran. 

There needs to be a vetting process to forbid any undesirable persons running for public office whose loyalties lie elsewhere. Heck, even the US has such a vetting process; and Russia just instituted one. As a matter of fact, all US vassal states have a controlled system to ensure that no one unfriendly to US/EU interests every governs there. So why not in Belarus?

It's quite strange that Lukashenko hasn't done this yet. If he did, it would've headed off a lot of problems for him and the country.

Lukashenko's problem is that he allowed himself to be co-opted and cajoled by the EU and US with favors and other enticements. But this was all done to get him to distance himself from Russia.

What happened was that Lukashenko ended up upsetting a major ally, and put himself at the mercy of western US/EU regime change brigade. Their aim was never to be cooperate with Lukashenko or help Belarus. Their mission was to cause problems between Belarus and Russia, weaken its economy, and create popular discontent. Their mission was always to get rid of Lukashenko and create another US/EU/NATO vassal state.

Now, Lukashenko has woken up and realized that he screwed up. He's trying to backpedal and has asked Putin for help. 

Vladimir Putin isn't too happy with how Lukashenko acted, but will nevertheless help him.

Lukashenko better not allow such serious lapses in judgment as he has had in the past 5 years. He almost caused Belarus to go belly up like Ukraine.

After this nonsense settles down, Lukashenko has some major decisions to make.

Twilight of US Power

Pompeo and other US regime lackeys have been running around lately accusing China and Russia of all sorts of nonsense.

From accusing China of trying to ‘take over the world’ to Russia paying the Taliban to kill US soldiers, it’s been a non-stop bullshit-fest in Washington lately.

The UK has also joined in on the fun by issuing its own fact and evidence-free report about ‘Russian influence’ and meddling in Brexit, and even the Scottish independence referendum in 2014.

But interestingly, since Brexit benefits the UK establishment, Russia was let off-the-hook. However, Russia was said to have interfered in the Scottish referendum, since Scottish independence is not in the UK establishment’s interests.

It’s cherry-picking season in the UK.

Maybe this will be the standard operating procedure for the failing UK regimes from now on: blame all problems, and anything that happens that you don’t like, on Russia.

The UK is actually calling Russia nihilistic and paranoid; that Russia will do anything to anyone for political reasons, and that Russia has a zero-sum foreign policy where anything goes, as long as it benefits Russian interests.

This is a clear case of the UK projecting its own mentality and actions onto Russia.

Because for the last 30 years (at least), it is the US, UK that have been the most principal nihilists of all. These two have trampled over anyone and anything to stay on top. In Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yugoslavia, supporting Islamist fanatics in Syria just to undermine a leader they don’t like regardless of how much death and destruction it sows, killing Iranian scientists, engaging in sabotage, worldwide cyber-spying against both foes and vassals-all this is as nihilistic, paranoid and zero-sum as it gets.

Faced with its own internal troubles caused by Brexit, the coronavirus pandemic, and economic problems, the UK establishment is following the bad example of the US and has turned to scapegoat foreigners for its problems. But this has not worked for the US, and won’t work for the UK.

Brexit may have freed the UK from EU control. Now, the UK needs a YANKEXIT to free it from a much worse dependency.

The US is also broke, and in trouble. Record coronavirus cases and deaths, economic problems, skyrocketing unemployment, social unrest, serious divisions, governmental incompetence. All this is leading its inept regime to desperation and scapegoating. This is the strategy of losers.

The problem the US has, is that the only countries left with anything valuable are too strong to be attacked and robbed. The US cannot do it without suffering serious losses and defeat. This is what frustrates them. This is why Pompey has been running around making up nonsense about China. It is all driven by anger, jealousy, resentment, and frustration at having been bested by others.

If, and when the pandemic ends, the US will never again be like it was. It will be a weaker, and a more weary country. This is a turning point in its history, and it will lose more of its influence and power. The US is having problems financing its empire, and is trying to force others to finance it for them. But this won’t work.
 
The US regimes, past and present, have always tried to get a whole lot of something for nothing. This is their Modus Operandi. But people have had enough of being scammed by the evil US empire.

The stale-old propaganda of a ‘democratic and free US’ has worn thin.

For all the democracy promotion, the fact is that all political systems and governments, whether they are elected, self-appointed, or an oligarchy, have pretty much the same internal decision-making processes. Not even a dictator or strongman can just govern by themselves.

If there was so much of a difference between democracies and dictatorships, then there would be very little or no relations between democracies and authoritarian countries and leaders. Democracies would avoid dictatorships like the plague.

But the US does brisk business with 70% of the world’s dictatorships where there is not even a pretense of democracy. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel, are just a few of such countries where democracy, human rights, and the rule of law hardly apply, or not at all.

In the same breath, if all these accusations against Russia and China were true, then the US and its lackeys would immediately cut ties with these countries, recall their ambassadors, and would not talk with anyone in Russia and China. If Huawei was really using its equipment to spy on anyone, that equipment would be tossed out immediately, not in 2027-as is the plan currently.

All this just goes to show that the US and the west don’t like a successful competitor that does anything better, especially a non-western one.

The US regime is now at war with its own people. Federal troops are being rushed to cities to quell protests using violence. This will not end well.

We must look at the recent false accusations, lies and threats against Russia, China, Iran and others by the US regime in this context. It is all a dishonest and feeble attempt to distract the US populace from their real problems, and redirect their ire from the real scumbags who are responsible for their plight, and onto a convenient, foreign ‘other.’

Most people in the US don't really know what's going on. They tell themselves lies to feel better about living in a messed up country that is failing left and right. Instead of blaming other countries for their own incompetence, they should maybe learn about other countries and see what they're doing right and adopt some of their ideas? But no, US citizens rather stick their head in the sand, and pretend they're the best. It's all about pretending in the US.

Because as things stand, all the US regimes accusations of foreign meddling all come down to online English-language news articles published by Russian, Chinese and Iranian media outlets that criticize US policies and actions, and air out the USA’s dirty laundry in public. This undermines US propaganda. And that’s what irks the US so much, not any election interference or spying.

As for all the protests, the population of the US cannot count on the US constitution for legal protection. The rights that it guarantees are open to interpretation by the establishment. Any ‘right’ can be nullified under one pretext or another, no matter how flimsy and contradictory.

That’s how the protesters in the US today are being lumped in with violent mobs and labeled as extremists. Once this is done, all rights disappear.

In 1861, a bunch of US citizens wanted to secede from the union because they felt their property rights were being challenged and threatened. But they quickly found out that the right to secede was only on-paper, and was not allowed.

The twilight of the US is here.

The recent behavior of the US regimes is proof that this is so. Strong, confident nations sure of themselves and their future don't act in such unhinged, dishonest, reckless and self-destructive ways.

Welcome to the end, USA!

I Hate My Neighbor!

I hate my neighbor. He’s an asshole.

My reasons for hating him are superficial, but who cares, right? They’re my reasons, and I don't care if you agree with them or not!

Well, I’m going to get him back!

I’m going to block his garage so he can’t drive anywhere. I will place rocks, blocks, and razor wire in his driveway to prevent him from leaving.

I will use sabotage to make his life miserable. I will sneak into his yard at night to cut and tear out his TV and electrical wiring and components. I will spill noxious substances on his house and destroy his patio furniture.

I will cut his car tires, stick potatoes up the exhaust, and spray brake fluid all over his cars.

I will find out where he lives and tell his boss a bunch of lies so my neighbor loses his job and livelihood.

I will post nasty, horrible lies about him on facebook, You Tube, and other social media about him.

I will tell everyone that I talk to lies about my neighbor so they hate him.

I also make an anonymous phone call to his bank and tell them that my neighbor is involved in illegal activities so that his accounts get flagged and blocked.

I will also call the police and accuse him of all sorts of stuff to keep him busy. I will also have others call the police to do the same. The more people I have backing up my lies, the more effective  my strategy to mess up the life of my neighbor will be.

I will even vandalize my own home and blame it on him.

I will convince my other neighbors to join in. I will bribe them to do so, and threaten those who are hesitant until they agree to go along with me.

I will turn the entire neighborhood, and town, against my rotten neighbor and make his life miserable.

I will attend town council meetings and post notices all over town to demonize him and the horrible things he is doing to me, and my neighbors.

If he tries to retaliate, or defend himself in any way, I will accuse him of terrorism and attempted murder. I will drag him through the courts and have all other neighbors label him a security threat and a criminal.

I will sue him, and garnish his wages so that he goes broke and can’t take care of himself.

I will keep this up until he does what I want.

If he still refuses, I will start messing with his friends and family members. I will do the same things to them!
 

The above text is a parable about what the US is doing to Iran.

Iran is the neighbor, and US is the I.

Upside-Down History

Faced with serious failures and embarrassments within their own midst, the US establishment has been busy coming up with new lies and accusations against others to escape culpability and scrutiny.

Recently, it has been turning history upside-down by accusing Russia of paying money to the Taliban to kill US forces. It has also been trying to accuse Russian President Vladimir Putin of ‘rehabilitating’ the image of Joseph Stalin.

It is a pathetic and ignorant attempt to superimpose the image of Stalinist Russia onto Russia today. This is done to paint Russia as evil, and justify acts of sedition, and justify foreign interference and regime change.

The exposure of US failures and its own distasteful past, as well as Russia’s recent constitutional referendum which saw a US-imposed constitution annulled and replaced by an all-Russian version, free of foreign-imposed limitations, certainly could have something to do with these recent false accusations.

Both these absurd claims are done from spite and desperation.

Since May, the US has been racked with protests which have shown the ugly face of US society, and its bloody and abhorrent history.

Numerous monuments to slave traders, imperialists, colonizers and other persons of dubious merit have been toppled. This has exposed those so-called ‘heroes’ for what they really were, and undermined a sacrosanct niche of the US propaganda myth. People all over the world are noticing and asking questions.

Faced with embarrassment, the desperate US establishment is countering with lies and false accusations against others.

The evidence-free accusation that Russia is paying the Taliban to kill US soldiers rings particularly hollow and hypocritical when one takes into account the sordid history of the US in backing the Taliban movement since the late 1970s.

Ronald Reagan meeting with the Afghan Taliban in the White House

It was the US, together with its Pakistani, Saudi, Israeli, and assorted European buddies that supported, armed, trained, encouraged and PAID the Afghan Mujahideen - who later made up the nucleus of the Taliban and Al Qaeda – to kill Soviet troops in the 1980s.

It was the US and its buddies who, after the Soviets withdrew, allowed the Taliban to fester and gain strength.

It was the US who gave billions of dollars in 'aid' to the Pakistani ISI to fight terrorism, but the money ended up supporting the Taliban and pro-Taliban sympathizers in Pakistani intelligence and the military.
 
It was the US that invaded Afghanistan in 2001 and put its troops in harm’s way. 

It is the US that insists on keeping them there, making them a daily target.

No. It wasn’t the Russians who paid the Taliban to kill US troops.

It was the US who paid the Taliban to kill US troops, and still does! And no one deserves this blame more than the US itself!

As for accusing Russia and Putin of rehabilitating Stalin, read this article, especially the last paragraph:

So, what is Russia’s situation today? Well, NATO has expanded its membership to include every former member state of the Warsaw Pact, not to mention former republics of the USSR, promised membership to Ukraine and Georgia, and conducted almost daily military exercises in the Baltic and Black Seas. The United States has walked away from the Anti-Ballistic Missiles, Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces and Open Skies treaties. And there is a constant barrage of anti-Russian propaganda emanating from many Western capitals. With all that in mind, perhaps it isn’t surprising that Russians, while they certainly don’t want Stalin back, look with admiration and respect upon a leader who protected them from foreign aggressors.1

So, yes. Not only is the US ultimately responsible for the Taliban killing US soldiers in Afghanistan, but because of its anti-Russian antics the US is also responsible for any sympathy for Stalin within Russia today.

The US has been turning history, reality and facts upside down for years. It has also been projecting its own sins and crimes onto others.

The US has been the best agent of its own destruction.

But turning history upside-down is not going to exonerate anyone in the US regime, past and present.

The jig is up. The US will now have to answer for its historical faults and lies, and it is being exposed by its own public.

And the more lies it pushes, the more it will be hated.
