Russia is not our Enemy.

In a previous Post I said this:

In the days before the UN resolution authorizing the no fly zone in Libya, the Russian Foreign minister stated that if the USA pursued the no fly zone concept as regards Libya, the Russians would veto it in the Security Council. Instead, the Russians merely abstained. However, soon after the NATO aggression against Libya began, Putin stated that the attacks against Libya were barbaric and reminiscent of the Crusades. However, the President of Russia disagreed and Putin shut up. It is noteworthy that Secretary Gates visited Russia before the UN resolution. It is frightening to think that the world may need to depend upon Russia and a veto in the UN Security Council for protection of the rights of sovereign States. After all, it was the Russians who after WW II were the criminal aggressors against Poland, Czech, etc. All during those terrible Cold War years the USA constantly invoked the concept of the Sovereign Nation State in order to counter the criminal occupation of the Eastern Block nations. However, now the USA under Obama’s New World Order ideas, is the aggressor and maybe occupier of another sovereign nation! Russia has murmured on the side lines since Putin was forced to shut up. However, the future of the free world may depend upon a former communist dictatorship and not in the USA. It seems like the Pres. and the Admin. are willing to bomb and destroy the armed forces of another country all the while declaring that the bombs and cruise missiles and other brutal military weapons are the agents of peace and harmony protecting the so called civilians from bad bad Gaddalfi.

Today (Oct, 2015) we witness another in the strange interpretation of the world put forward by the Obama administration. In the past few weeks, the Russians have send military supplies, weapons and ammunition to the Assad government of Syria. Please note, that this is a legal government to legal government transfer of assets. While people may not like either Assad or Putin, they are the legal leaders of their sovereign nations. Both nations are recognized by at least 105 nations as legal governments. Both are full member nations of the United Nations. However, the Obama government states that supplying the Assad government with the ability to defend itself against terrorist ISIS and US backed insurrectionists is illegal.

However, the USA finds nothing wrong with arming, supplying, training and providing millions of dollars to hundreds of insurrectionists. Please note, that if a person is armed and proposes to lead an insurrection against the Obama government in the USA, that person will be arrested and if found guilty, is liable to execution. If that same person is employed by a foreign government to overthrow the Obama administration, he is called a State terrorist. If he is a free lance US citizen attempting to overthrow the US government, he is a traitor. But, according to the Obama government, none of this applies to those we use to overthrow the Assad government.

Today this author read the responses of Marco Rubio and Caryl Fiorino to the Russian airforce warning to USA air planes over Syria to not interfere with them. The USA planes have been bombing Syria for months. The claim is that our bombing is okay because we are only bombing ISIS and have the permission of the Assad government. (Strange that we use the approval of the Assad government to defend ourselves against charges of criminal aggression!) Anyway, Rubio, and Fiorino think that we should tell the Russians that there are serious repercussions including our shooting at their planes because they warned us to stay away as they bomb ISIS. I hope they and Ted Cruz are not suggesting that we fire against Russian military jets operating over Syrian airspace with the Assad government’s permission. Such an action would clearly be an act of war and indicates that we are willing to fight the Russians as they attempt to destroy ISIS.

Have we forgotten that by jet we are fourteen hours away from Syria? Have we forgotten that Russia has a treaty of mutual assistance with Syria? Have we forgotten that Russia is a hugely powerful nuclear weapon-ed nation?

This writer exposed the danger of the so called Arab Spring proposed by Obama. Since then we have suffered through our acts of criminal aggression against Libya. We have witnessed our subversive covert operations in Egypt toppling our ally Mubarak and installing a Muslim Brotherhood terrorist leader in his place. We agonized over the attack on our embassy in Benghazi and the murder of ambassador Stevens. During all this time the Obama government has persisted in its supply, funding, and training of insurrectionists in Syria. ISIS has risen although the Obama government insists on the name ISIL which is a tacit approval of their legitimacy as a government. This ISIS is now being rumored to be an undercover agency of the French, British, and American governments as they attempt to reassert European colonial imperialism in the Middle East.

By the way, did you read that USA is supplying weapons, training anti aircraft and anti missile defense systems to Ukraine? Whatever you think of problems between Ukraine and Russia, please consider that our actions there are the same as Khrushchev supplying missiles to Castro. It is the same as IF the Russians supplied the same weapons to Mexico and aimed them at us.

The only person who is talking reasonably is Senator Rand Paul. He wants the USA to stop interfering in the internal affairs of independent sovereign nations. He wants us to allow people within a region to determine their own affairs. He wants us to stop beating the drums of war every time we are opposed by anyone. He wants us to use the power of diplomacy and meaningful cooperation and collaboration to solve the problems that occur. He does not want the US government to fall victim to a man versus man contest between Obama’s pride and Putin’s pride. When he says this he is talking from a position of strength because he will not equivocate and cave in at every opportunity. Rather, he will stand fast and use what we must, but only if it is absolutely a “must” situation.

Assad Government is the Internationally Recognized Government of Syria

Again we see media bias with all of the photos in this article being of rebel groups. It seem the media insists that regular army navy and air force personel of Syria are not citizens of syria, not legitimate regular armed forces of the legal syrian government and are to be lumped together with the so called dictator. The rebels, under US law would be conisdered terorists and sabatuers worthy of hanging. Under international law they are parisans, irregulars and terorists. During the US civil war both sides had uniforms, insignia, and identifiable flags which were the requirement for the forces of both sides to be considered legitimate and not criminal. It seems that when it suits the usa, we can declare anybody a dictator and criminal. However, the assad government IS the legal government of Syria. It has legal ambassadors in 101 country and is the recognized legal representative of the Syrian people in the UN. Only the Assad government can sign legally binding contracts or threaties for the Syrian nation. The so call rebels have absolutely no legal standing anywhere for anything. Perhaps that is why nobody even thinks of asking the rebels to account for their chemical weapons or their use of chemical weapons because there is no legitimate group to answer.

If all of us can be rational for a minute, then we need to thank Russia for world peace. The world peace prize needs to go to Vladimir Putin not Obama. It was the French and the British who tricked NATO and the UN into forcing the legal Libya government of Gaddafi to be overthrown. Not without a lot of help from Obama!! Why? Who really knows? But the oil of Libya is important to Britain and France. And YES, (capitals intended) we really do need to remember the very dark Imperialist past of France and Britain. It seems that their enslaving and mercantilist past is very much a present force in their politics.

The whole idea of the mid eastern Caliphate is a Muslim Brotherhood idea and is backed by the faction called Al Qaeda and maybe, in some convoluted way, by the Saudi Wahabi Islamic sect. It also seems to play well with France and Britain. But such a Caliphate is not in the best interests of Russia and the United States. On this issue the Obama administration is blinded by President Obama’s Muslim background and by the Liberal Eastern Academic establishment’s idea that such a Caliphate is a natural outcome of geopolitical reality. WRONG!!!

The overthrow of the legal governments of Libya and Egypt are directly related to the wrongly informed politics of Britain, France and the USA. ALLOW ME to be very clear. I sincerely and honestly believe in the self determination of the future of these nation States. However, it may be that the self-determination of these nation States will be decided by their very unique ethnic, religious and cultural demographics and not be decided by Western European and USA ideas about how and what and why!! What should such self determination reflect? Let the peoples of the Arab and non-Arab Middle Eastern (SW Asia) determine their own fate without any involvement of the former Imperialist France and Britain and without the ill informed interference of Obama.

If the Sunni can win on their own, so be it. If the Shiites can win on their own, so be it. If the Wahabi sect can win, or the Taliban, or the Al Qaeda, the Ala alawhits, so be it!!

The Western European powers of former Imperialist nations like Belgium, France and Britain need to stay out.

That is the message that Vladimir Putin is sending out, not only to the West but also to the rebels in every region. Namely, if you really have popular support and if you really represent the regional self interests of the people in your area, then we the Russians, ARE REAdY AND WILLING TO DEAL WITH YOUR SUCCESS. However, if you are merely the puppets of the French, British, Belgian, znd USA Imperialist powers of the New World Order, then we, the Russians, and joined by our Chinese counterparts, we stand against you’

Friends, the Russians and the Chinese are right. Stay out of these regional, cultural, Muslim conflicts. Align yourself with the unfettered winner and all will be well with the world.

Obama Administration’s Foolish About Benghazi

http://news.yahoo.com/libya-militia-linked-u-attack-returns-benghazi-141851547.html

The Obama administration is the reason for the continued terrorist success in Libya. Why? Because Obama backed the rebel insurgents and terrorist Islamists who fought against Gaddafi. Using the romantic notion that all the Islamic countries needed was a breath of fresh Spring air, Obama ignited and then supported what has become a nightmare of terror for Libya, Egypt, and Syria.

A glaring fault of the Obama administration’s worldview is directly attributable to the President. He seems to think that simply forcing an autocratic government out of power will automatically produce a grass-roots movement akin to the American Revolution of 1776. However, the governments of Libya and Syria are autocratic for a vast array of social, ideological and tribal reasons. The leadership of these regions, like that in Iraq and Iran is based on powerful clan and tribal allegiances. These forces produced the autocratic governments, perpetuated them in existence and reinforced their continuation into this era. The obvious breakdown of Libya and Iraq into competing tribal and clan factions, each at war with the other over land, influence and Islam, is evidence of the correctness of this analysis. Yet, the Obama administration, its State department and the CIA that serves him, followed an amateurish plan based on romantic notions of hope and change.

Surprisingly, it is Vladimir Putin who is the voice of a seasoned and reasonable national policy regarding the Mid Eastern nations in general and Libya and Syria in particular. Putin was betrayed during the illegal aggression against Libya which was carried out by Obama, Cameron, and Sarkozy. In conjunction with the Belgians, these three leaders had gotten United Nations permission to protect rebels forces fighting against a member of the UN (Libya). But the UN resolution 1973 was then used by these leaders as a cover under which they engaged their nations in criminal aggression against the legal government of Gaddafi, a government, which until his murder by the rebels, was recognized by 103 nations as the legal government of Libya. The criminal aggression was carried out by bombing, and strafing the legal army of Libya by NATO forces. It was carried out by the use of 213 USA cruise missiles fired against the legal army and government of Libya by NATO. The illegal aggression was carried out by the use of USA Special Forces personnel on the ground in Libya who aided the rebels, guided the bombing raids, and spotted for the missile attacks. The entire affair enraged Putin because it was illegal under International law. But the powerful Belgians, French, English and Americans were never called accountable. Instead, the puppet press of the Obama administration depicted the Libyan aggression as a war of freedom against tyranny.

Evidence of confiscated weapons shipments by Russia to the Syrian government of Assad, seems to indicated that the Russians are doing legally what the USA did illegally. How so? The Syrian government, like the Libyan government of Gaddafi, has an internationally recognised right of self-defense against all enemies foreign and domestic. By the way, it is illegal, regarded as treason, and punishable by death, if a citizen or group of USA citizens attempts to overthrown the federal government by force. So, what’s the difference with Libya? Oh, I forgot! We declared Gaddafi a dictator and that made every illegal and criminal action that we took, well, it made our action right!!??

Strange, isn’t it, that a former Communist KGB agent, Vladimir Putin, should be more of defender of national sovereignty and I believe in Libya, of national self determination, then the Obama administration?

Gaddafi had moved very forcefully to attempt to atone for his terrorist actions in Lockerbie. He acknowledged the crime and paid the blood money. Which, although Westerners do not agree with the process, is nonetheless, regarded as an expiation for the crime. So, if the relatives of the victims accept the blood money, they are required to exonerate the perpetrator of the crime. (Hey, I don’t agree either. But if we are going to play the game and accept the money then we cannot secretly decide that we have other rules that we apply to the game that are unknown to the other participant.)

Gaddafi had stopped all Nuclear bomb development in acquiesce to American demands. He had stopped all International terrorism funding and activity in return for USA government recognition of his government. A fact attested by the visit of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to Gaddafi.

However, President Obama did not honor the promises of the previous USA administration. President Obama reneged on government to government agreements. He decided to repudiate the promises of the USA made to Gaddafi, instead using our prestige at the United nations to get Resolution 1973 passed and then using it as a legal cover for illegal and criminal aggression against a sovereign Libya government, an action which was condemned by Nuremberg when it was done by the Nazi against Poland, etc.

The amateurish and cavalier approach of President Obama to foreign affairs in terribly illustrated by his handling of the Benghazi murder of four Americans, including Ambassador Stevens. It seems that President Obama thinks that he can engage in acts of war and then walk out of the oval office and go to bed, leaving the conduct of the war to others. But what is his plan? What is he intending to accomplish? What is his focus in terms of the macro and micro scenario of international politics? Where is his instruction manual for what he intends for his officials to achieve? Just saying to his staff, “handle it.” and then going to bed is not the basis for policy, anymore than just giving a speech on a USA issue is the same as the proposal of legislation to the Congress.

Speeches and statements to staff to “handle it” are evidence of a politician who is not engaged in governing. They are the cavalier statements of a person who has little regard for the mechanics of real life government. Maybe, Obama thinks that all he has to do is think and speak and everybody else has to work.

Putin’s Policu On Mid East Better than Obama’s

http://news.yahoo.com/russias-vladimir-putin-says-west-fomenting-jihadi-blowback-173800021.html

President Obama should get outside his Muslim childhood and hear the real call of Islam which is a called to radicalism, terrorism, and Jihad. All of these are against democracy and freedom. Instead they are religious, medieval, and tyrannical. It is very surprising that V. Putin, a former KGB agent but for the second time, the President of Russia, should see the world with more clarity and realism than B. Obama. Yes, you can throw the relative state of freedom and democracy in Russia against me. Nonetheless, Putin’s realistic and politically incorrect assessment of the Terrorist Islamic movement in Mid East, is accurate and should be given a lot of attention.

Russia is Friend of Syrian Peace

http://news.yahoo.com/start-something-big-russia-pulls-hundred-citizens-syria-155610519.html

The rebels are armed by secret USA, British and French arms shipments. Look at map, These three nations are very far away from Syria. Russia is right next door. So the Russians are rightfully more interested in Syria than the rest. The talk on these pages is as though the cold war was not over. What do all those without sons and daughters in our military want…More war? The Russians have been very clear. Stop the secret arming of the rebels. Stop the millions of dollars of pay to the rebels. Stop trying to overthrow the government of Syria by international State sponsored terrorism, which is what such funding and arming of the rebels actually is, Then the Russians will support transition from Assad and international UN sponsored free elections in Syria. From the beginning, it has been the Russians who have pursued peace. The NATO allies, France, Britain and USA have pursued war. First, we helped overthrow our ally Mubarak, than Gaddafi, and now Assad. If Russia tried to overthrow the governments of Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama, we would be screaming about it, rattling our swords and threatening World War. The way to stop the terrible bloodshed is for USA to affirm our commitment to peace. If USA State sponsored terrorism against Syria was stopped, the rebels would retreat. The Assad Regime would stop defending itself. The people would live and many innocent children would be ensured parents into the future.

2016 the Movie Raises a Lot of Questions

Went to see 2016 the movie. Mr. D Souza, the President of King’s college does a thorough job of analysis concerning Barrack Obama’s intellectual world view. It is a world view that sees the USA as a thief which steals the wealth and resources of third world nations. Mr. Obama feels that it is his job to level the playing field. How? by diminishing the wealth and financial strength of USA in favor of advancing the wealth and financial power of other countries. He has done this during his presidency by denying offshore drilling permits to USA companies and using US dollars to fund Brazilian and other concerns to drill in Brazil as direct competitors with USA firms. He has done this by denying the pipeline permit thereby weakening USA competitiveness in the oil markets. The bottom line is that President Obama does not see his job as being the advance of America but that of forcing the decline of USA world power. See the movie yourself for a thorough understanding of D’Souza’s analysis. However, be warned that it is a chilling piece of analysis that will stun you, surprise you, entertain you and ultimately cause you to wonder if Dinesh D’Souza has answered for all of us the question, “Who really is Barrack Hussein Obama and what will he do with four more years of unbridled Presidential power?” What I mention here is only a very small part of Mr. D’Souza’s examination of what makes Obama tick. For myself, I have felt from the beginning that Mr. Obama does not love America.

The reports never mention the opposition forces that seek the overthrow of Assad. Like with Libya, the Nato nations want to interfere and force the government to fall. However, if a group of anarchists, or any other political group sought to overthrow the Obama government by force, it would be deemed treason and it would be suppressed by force and the perpetrators would be liable to execution. So why is it different with Syria? Obviously, the Obama government is already involved in the overthrow of the legal government of Libya by outside force. In former days, the crime against Libya would have been condemned as criminal aggression and under Nuremberg rules it should be treated as a crime against humanity.

In the case of Libya, the Russian and Chinese were promised that UN resolution 1973 was merely to use NATO military force to protect so-called innocent civilians. Once approved by UN, the British and French attacked the legal armed forces of the Legal Libyan government. The excuse was that the army of the government “obviously” must be attacked in order to protect civilians. After the 212 cruise missile strikes and the first two hundred jet fighter attacks against military installations inside of Libya, Vladimir Putin objected. However, it was too late. The drum beats of war had begun and the French and Brits would never accept that they were acting illegally. So they increased their attacks with assistance from USA and the government of Belgium. (It is very noteworthy that all three governments have a dirty colonial history of racial imperialism and genocide. (Belgium in Central Africa under King Leopold) However, the Academic community and the mass audience to Internet and TV reporting allowed themselves to condone criminal and wonton aggression because the “horrible” Gaddafi bombed a civilian aircraft over Lockerbie. (Noteworthy here is that the Brits accepted the actual perpetrator of that crime to gain asylum in Europe.!)

Again Putin objected but to no avail and the military organization known as NATO ferociously attacked the Libyan government . And the world, its response was silence or cheering. Silence because no one really cared about the Libyan people and cheering because of hatred for Gaddafi. By the way, NATO was originally meant to protect against Russian aggression. Amazing double standard that now they are open, obvious and arrogant aggressors.

All of this brings us to the current impasse with Syria. The Russians and Chinese were betrayed with UN resolution 1973 and so far they have vowed not to let that happen again. The NATO nations spent billions to wage war against Libya. They have no taste for that kind of expense again. They have expended their war budgets. And the USA? Carney’s admission of “defeat” is precursor to the coming proposal that the world community again take up war in the region. And don’t forget the Iranians.

Obama is right not to arm the rebels. Our own civil war dealt with the problem of outside forces as the British tried to interfere on the side of the South. However, Carney does not mention if the Brits, French and Belgians are also refraining from funding, and arming the rebel insurrectionists. In the light of NATO’s duplicity in the case of Libya, this writer thinks that they are secretly arming, advising and funding the insurrectionists.

When President Kennedy got involved with the war in Vietnam he decided to back the insurrection against President Diem. The result was the murder of the President of South Vietnam in the back of a truck. Kennedy, a co religionist with Diem, (both were Roman Catholic) intensely regretted the regicide of Diem. Sadly, he was himself assassinated by those who have no respect for law or morality. So far, the Obama government is content with political assassination by drone. And although the Obama government is guilty of complicity to murder Gaddafi, they have not committed to regicide by drone against Syrian President Assad. If they did, the morality would dictate that political assassination of government leaders is righteous and therefore permissible, for anyone who thought the other guy was a so-called dictator and therefore illegitimate. In these times when we express our politics forcefully and opening, I am sure that many individuals regard the government with suspicion. Yet, we do not advocate violent overthrow. What is moral for us should be our guide in dealing with others.

USA Intervention prolongs Tyrany and Prevents Democracy

It is this authors opinion that the progress of democracy is inevitable. I also believe that it is the best form of government for all people’s worldwide. Additionally, I wholeheartedly support efforts to educate, advocate and promote peaceful democracy worldwide. However, war is a terrible thing and as we learned in our own Revolution and Civil War a great many people die prematurely for something which is so inevitable that we do not need bloodshed for its achievement. And for those conservative pundits who argue with me on this, well! Have you been in the US military? Is your child in the US military? Have you been confronted with the agony of mobilization and deployment? Yes, I have and so have my children. So, before we go wrapping everything in the flag, let’s talk. Okay.

Democracy has many forms, including limited democracy such as a real monarchy, and on to parliamentary democracy and a Republic like the USA. However, there is not one form that fits all societies. A tribal system such as Libya and Iraq may not be historically, culturally or ethnically suited for USA style democracy. Rather, ethnic, cultural, religious and societal uniqueness may require that democracy be tailored to the local situation.

And I completely agree that many societies in the Middle East of our world are seeking a greater form of democratic society. However, in distinction from my colleagues, I suggest that democracy was and is inevitable in these societies and that the modern interconnected Internet world, would and will, sooner than later, achieve that democracy, worldwide. However, in many countries and societal situations the so-called “powerful” need to learn the new methods of power and government. It is my belief that they would have, and they will learn the modern way without violence, bloodshed and death. It is inevitable.

But, many object, that in the societies of the Middle East, it is taking too long. First, I ask you, if you are a citizen of the country you criticise? If not, shut up. It is none of your business and don’t spout the crap about “you are your brothers keeper”. When you leave your USA armchair and travel to the streets of the struggle and face the bullets, then maybe, and only maybe, then you will have a little right to speak. Hey, brother, please don’t tell me what I must die for. You die in my place, okay? And then, I will religiously lay a wreath at your grave. Deal?

It is this author’s opinion that much of the violence and the death happening worldwide and especially in the Mid East is caused by geopolitical aims and seeks to falsely use democracy as the excuse for the extension of a western economic imperial model that has nothing to do with the “quality of life” of the protagonists and a lot to do with the wealth and continued economic imperialism of western governments and corporations.

Rather, let’s not arm the rebels. Let’s educate them on civil organization and political reality. But, you say, that we tried that and it failed. Did it? In my opinion, it did not fail. It simply did not meet our expectations. We will need to extend our timelines and get real about what is possible now and what can only be achieved later.

Friends, I will not dictate that for which you must die. Rather, I will do everything I can to promote your freedom within the context, society and culture in which you live. In the end, the result will be the same because freedom and I believe, democracy, are inevitable.

The End of Anti Gaddalfi brings Light on Sarkozy and Cameron-(War criminals?)

http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=28493 This blog opposed President Obama, Sarkozy and Cameron because their so-called humanitarian attack against Libya was a War Crime and by extension a War against Humanity. Now respected French politicians and researchers uncover the true nature of the criminal UN sponsored war against a member State. A very sad story of betrayed and one small man’s vanity which destroyed a free nation.
