Kerry and Obama Lying US into Yet Another War

President Barack Obama and his Secretary of State John Kerry did their damed level best to lie to Americans in order to pimp a war last summer based on trumped up information in Syria and now they are doing the same thing in Ukraine. In an ongoing spectacle that has all of the fascinating qualities of one of those RNC talking point "train wrecks" the duo continue to agitate and push for an ill-conceived and ultimately disastrous fight with Russian leader Vladimir Putin who can't be counted on this time to save the dynamic duo (or us for that matter) from themselves. Today's escalation in the idiotic, hypocritical and dangerous game of chicken with the nuclear armed Russians consists of the esteemed Kerry blathering the same standard cookie-cutter neocon talking points over the rapidly deteriorating situation in Ukraine that was unleashed when the Obama team of unrivaled imbeciles decided that launching a neo-Nazi backed coup in Kiev in order to stick it to Putin during the Sochi Winter Olympics.

Not that a man like Kerry would have a problem with dealing with Nazis. The erstwhile opponent of the illegal wars of empire is a member of the infamous Yale University secret society Skull and Bones with it's longtime ties to the Wall Street elite and OSS/CIA that not only helped to arm Nazi Germany for profits he is in his element as much as a pig wallowing in a pool of shit. Not only was Wall Street money - such as that from a certain Prescott Bush from whose loins sprung two future US Presidents (with another on the way) whose Wall Street firm was actually shut down by the US government - instrumental in the rise of Hitler but they also provided cover for Nazi war criminals after the end of World War II.

With the renewed propaganda barrage against the Russians and specifically Putin erupting anew over the weekend, with a launching pad over at the Washington Post neocon transmission station by the likes of Jennifer "dog face" Rubin, Charles "Dr. Strangelove" Kraüthammer and a newcomer in some hack named Kathy Lally the ground was prepped for Mr. Kerry's latest uncontrollable bout of chronic diarrhea of the mouth. In ratcheting up the strident rhetoric, especially now that Ukrainians are rebelling against the illegally installed occupying government of "Yats" and his neo-Nazis fully understanding that the future is crushing and ruthlessly enforced austerity, pogroms, political repression and slavery Kerry was in in form unseen since last August. According to an article in The Guardian the grand marshal of the American fool's parade is now ranting about Russian agent provocateurs fomenting unrest in East Ukraine:

The US secretary of state, John Kerry, described recent developments in eastern Ukraine as "more than deeply disturbing" and repeated threats of western sanctions against Russia, which he said would be expanded to the country's energy, banking and mining sectors.

Kerry blamed pro-Russian protests in eastern Ukraine on "special forces and agents" sent by Moscow in a move he said "could potentially be a contrived pretext for military intervention just as we saw in Crimea".

What is it called when an imperialistic, meddling warfare state that has engaged in "intervention" after "intervention" ever since the original indigenous inhabitants of our god-kissed, star-spangled lemming colony were hunted down like animals and slaughtered as such?

This is so ridiculous on so many levels that it is the proverbial smoking gun that the entire western mainstream media is in the bag - a now completely essential and assimilated component of the Deep State that serves only one purpose which is to lie on behalf of a corrupt establishment that is careening more out of bounds by the minute. It is simply unbelievable that this guy is not called on this bullshit, especially after the obvious lies that damned near led to the attack on Syria over a sarin gas attack on civilians in a Damascus suburb that always stank but never more so than in Seymour Hersh's latest expose "The Red Line and the Rat Line" over at the London Review of Books. The US state media would NEVER allow a piece like this to be published. Hersh apparently has even been exiled by the New Yorker after his excellent work during the Bushreich. He may not get any exposure - other than vilification at ideologically bent, Deep State Muslim-baiting shitholes like Commentary Magazine but he gave two good interviews yesterday with Amy Goodman at Democracy Now and Scott Horton at Antiwar.com. Check them out.

Hersh's story alone calls into question the monstrous torrent of lies about the Ukraine situation emanating from the Obama regime and the corrupt US media and perhaps there is a bit of desperation in Kerry's latest dissertation of pure, unadulterated hogwash. The drip, drip, drip effects of the NSA leaks courtesy of heroic whistleblower Edward Snowden have certainly given all of those "Hope" and "Change" banners a certain yellowing taint and I at times wonder if a lot of Obama's relentless crusade to nail Putin to a cross doesn't have as it's genesis the fact that Snowden was saved from a US or affiliated despotic partner's torture chambers by Russia's leader. Hell, given Mr. Obama's penchant for narcissism and the humiliation of his American Stasi being exposed followed by Putin intervening to stop the Syrian attacks and that classic, for the ages take down of US exceptionalism on the anniversary of that oh so sanctified day of September 11th in the Op Ed section of the New York Times, Dear Leader is steaming.

It is springtime and that substance that is heavy in the air and clogging nostrils isn't just pollen. Springtime indeed, for the US establishment led by Obama, Kerry and the neocons it might as well be Springtime for Hitler.

Anti-Austerity Pushback Begins in Ukraine

The frantic Cold War obsessed, neocon infested US state-corporate media are blowing their mighty klaxons today as there is more festering unrest in Ukraine. Not that such a thing should be unexpected given the US-EU-NATO Axis of Evil hostile, neo-Nazi backed takeover that ousted the democratically elected president Viktor Yanukovych only to replace him with a western puppet charged with looting the country. With the reported seizure of government buildings in the city of Donetsk and demands for secession from the illegally installed austerity government the western media is in the typical manner labeling the protesters as "pro-Russian" and "pro-Putin" rather than what they really are which is "anti-fascist" and "anti-austerity" which will further fan the flames of what may be - thanks to our failed political system in Der Heimat - an express train careening towards Armageddon.

What areat job by President Barack Obama in that his splendid little coup d'eat joint venture with the neocons whose insane, Hitlerian ideology of world domination has become fully cancerous and is metastasizing throughout every branch of the government is exceeding any reasonable expectations of disaster. What started as a contest in dick measuring in which El Presidente continued to come out on the losing end to the now fully vilified and demonized to elicit bloodlust from the masses of asses "Ras-Putin" the entire country of Ukraine is just about ready to erupt in a full blown civil war. The anti-austerity backlash by those who could truly be tabbed as "freedom fighters" and who will have to operate underground ala the resistance in Nazi occupied Europe during the "Good War" is the real thing when it comes to ousting a tyrannical and corrupt regime such as the one that the EU, US and NATO have installed in Kiev. The breadbasket of Europe is about to turn into abbatoir and the fault all lies within the bowels of the American Deep State and the even murkier shadow government as manifested within the Continuity of Government (COG) infrastructure has which never abandoned the use of Communism as some form of Manichean devil to serve as the justification for repression at home and militarism and subterfuge abroad.

The pencil necked technocratic geek Arseny “Yats” Yatseniuk - in between dishonest tirades about Russian invasions - seems to be scared shitless right about now and justifiably so. Before long the angry mobs in the streets will be outside his own window and looking to dangle his skinny little chicken-legged ass from the end of a rope for his selling out of his country to the global corporate parasites who are currently busy bemoaning the loss of billions of loot that could have been milked from Crimea had the people there not had the good sense to vote to rejoin Russia. Tuesday the crackdown against the freedom fighters began with the occupying government sending forth heavily armed paramilitary goon squad police to engage in an "anti-terrorist" action to oust protesters in Eastern Ukraine. It is the typical double-standard and hypocrisy of the US establishment and their European stooges to refer to what is a legitimate uprising against forced austerity and economic ruination and political persecution at the hands of their neo-Nazi backed usurpers in Kiev. Neither "Yats" or the loathsome and corrupt moral reprobate Interior Minister Arsen Avakov will bother with the inconvenient truth that the real "terrorists" were the ones in the streets of Kiev, throwing petrol bombs at police, engaging in organized thuggery and shooting innocent people - both protesters and police.

How this all plays out has yet to be seen but all indications from a Cold War fixated US establishment that is bereft of adult leadership as well as Obama's ongoing apparent insistence on making this a personal thing with Putin it's not looking good at all. Former Reagan administration Deputy Assistant Treasurer and prolific writer who has been writing on the ultimate decline of what used to be a free, mostly fair and decent society into the abyss Paul Craig Roberts nails it in his most recent column entitled "Obama Issues Threats To Russia And NATO" from which I excerpt:

It has dawned on the Russian government that being a part of the American dollar system means that Russia is open to being looted by Western banks and corporations or by individuals financed by them, that the ruble is vulnerable to being driven down by speculators in the foreign exchange market and by capital outflows, and that dependence on the American international payments system exposes Russia to arbitrary sanctions imposed by the “exceptional and indispensable country.”

Why it took the Russian government so long to realize that the dollar payments system puts countries under Washington’s thumb is puzzling. Perhaps the answer is the success of US Cold War propaganda. Cold war propaganda portrayed America as the shining light, the great observer of human rights, opponent of torture, upholder of liberty, defender of the downtrodden, lover of peace, and benefactor of the world. This image survived even as the US government prevented the rise of any representative governments in Latin America and while Washington has bombed half a dozen countries into rubble.

Russians emerging from communism naturally aligned with the propaganda image of “American freedom.” That the US and Europe were also corrupt and also had blood on their hands was overlooked. During the years of anti-Soviet propaganda, Washington was murdering European women and children and blaming communists. The truth came out when President of Italy Francesco Cossiga publicly revealed Operation Gladio, a false flag terrorist scheme run by the CIA and Italian Intelligence during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s that targeted European women and children with bombs in order to blame the communists and thereby prevent European communist parties from making electoral gains. This is one of the most well-known false flag events in history, having resulted in extraordinary confessions by Italian intelligence.

Now that the Russian government understands that Russia must depart the dollar system in order to protect Russian sovereignty, President Putin has entered into barter/ruble oil deals with China and Iran. However, Washington objects to Russia abandoning the dollar international payment system. Zero Hedge, a more reliable news source than the US print and TV media, reports that Washington has conveyed to both Russia and Iran that a non-dollar oil deal would trigger US sanctions.

The only recourse that the rest of the world has against the dangerous Leviathan in Washington and it's current Sun King ensconced within the control center of Mordor at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is to turn to economics, a game that the now thoroughly corrupt system of US looter capitalism - we cheat everyone, especially the TV mesmerized zombies on the star-spangled lemming farm - cannot win. So it is coming to a head. There has already been chatter that Russia will soon retaliate for those sanctions - the most effective to this point being a handful of McDonalds fast food restaurants abandoning Crimea - by effectively dumping the petrodollar in a trade deal with Iran. This would put the US political class and the neocons - permanently in bed with the government of the insane Israeli leader Bibi Netanyahu - in the optimal situation to engage in a climactic Godfather style wipeout of the enemies of the Corleone (or is it Lansky?) family that would instead be more like the last suicidal charge of a pack of over the hill outlaws at the end of The Wild Bunch as the Empire goes out on it's own terms.

Barring a move to impeach Obama immediately and get him the hell out of anywhere that his narcissistic streak that has driven him to pick a fight with a nuclear armed Russia where he has the ultimate trump card of the launch codes then we are truly living in a revisionist Cold War hell that is the modern incarnation of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Sashko Bily Murdered: Night of the Long Knives Begins in Ukraine

Oleksandr Muzychko aka Sashko Bily of the extremist Right Sector group that was instrumental in backing the US backed coup d’etat in Kiev was shot dead by police yesterday.  Has the Night of the Long Knives arrived? Has “Yats” been given the order to clean up his unelected regime to make the country safe for corporate plunder? There are conflicting stories about the killing of Muzychnko, one being that the brutal thug was gunned down while trying to escape what is officially described as a "special forces operation" that took place at a cafe in the city of Rivne in western Ukraine. The other story that is circulating is far more ominous and threatens to further expose that great outbreak of democracy that is peddled by the American state-corporate media, the neocons and the Obama administration is nothing more than a fraud of the highest order. According to an account from the BBC:

Earlier, a Ukrainian MP, Oles Doniy, gave a different version of events. He said two cars had forced Muzychko's car to stop, and he had then been dragged into one of the other cars. Later his body was found dumped, his hands tied behind his back and two bullet wounds in his heart, Doniy wrote overnight on his Facebook page.

Correspondents say Muzychko acquired notoriety in Ukraine after he was filmed brandishing an AK-47 assault rifle at a town hall session in western Ukraine, and then harassing a local prosecutor. After that, in February, the Ukrainian interior minister condemned his behaviour and promised to investigate.

That certainly doesn't jibe with that shining tale spun by professional liars about the glorious new era that has come to Ukraine and could be the first indication that the goons who backed the installation of the puppet of the global finance mafia, former central banker Arseniy Yatseniuk have outlived their usefulness.  Hell, it's not as though such a thing has no historical precedent.

In late June of 1934 with Adolf Hitler having completed his rise by being named Chancellor of Germany (Angela Merkel has the gig now) and consolidating his power the violent collection of crude and savage goons that were the Sturmabteilung (SA)- the historical counterparts to Right Sector and John McCain's Svoboda pals – had become a nuisance. The beatings, killings, public displays of menace, drunken debauchery and instability of the SA were not only an embarrassment but a potential threat to the Hitler regime. So Der Führer ordered the blood purge that is known as the Night of the Long Knives to eliminate any future challenge from the Nazi rabble so the leadership was wiped out. Not only was the SA taken out but the opportunity was used to settle other scores – excerpted from Wikipedia:

The regime did not limit itself to a purge of the SA, however. Having earlier imprisoned or exiled prominent Social Democrats and Communists, Hitler used the occasion to move against conservatives he considered unreliable. This included Vice-Chancellor Papen and those in his immediate circle. In Berlin, on Göring's personal orders, an armed SS unit stormed the Vice-Chancellery. Gestapo officers attached to the SS unit shot Papen's secretary Herbert von Bose without bothering to arrest him first. The Gestapo arrested and later executed Papen's close associate Edgar Jung, the author of Papen's Marburg speech; they disposed of his body by dumping it in a ditch. The Gestapo also murdered Erich Klausener, the leader of Catholic Action, and a close Papen associate. The vice-chancellor himself was unceremoniously arrested at the Vice-Chancellery, despite his insistent protests that he could not be arrested. Although Hitler ordered him released days later, Papen no longer dared to criticise the regime.

Hitler, Göring, and Himmler unleashed the Gestapo against old enemies, as well. Both Kurt von Schleicher, Hitler's predecessor as chancellor, and his wife were murdered at their home. Others killed included Gregor Strasser, a former Nazi who had angered Hitler by resigning from the party in 1932, and Gustav Ritter von Kahr, the former Bavarian state commissioner who crushed the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923.[42] Kahr's fate was especially gruesome. His body was found in a wood outside Munich; he had been hacked to death, apparently with pickaxes. The murdered included at least one accidental victim: Willi Schmid, the music critic of the Münchner Neuste Nachrichten, a Munich newspaper. The Gestapo mistook him for Ludwig Schmitt, a past supporter of Otto Strasser, the brother of Gregor.  Such unrestrained violence added to the fearsome reputation of the Gestapo, the Nazis' secret police.

The assassination of Sashko Bily could be the beginning of a modern version of that purge, the bought and paid for media can’t possibly keep the lid on the presence of so many fascists and neo-Nazis in the coup installed government in Kiev forever. The recent beating of Ukranian state television executive Oleksandr Panteleymonov by Svoboda party ruffians and the resulting viral video caused no small amount of embarrassment to the US and the Yatsenyuk government. That act of brutality actually had to be acknowledged and was condemned by US sources who were "deeply offended”.  If the goon squads continue to be caught perpetrating such violent acts it is time to clean them up because the corporate benefactors of carving up the Ukraine bounty have enough problems by taking possession of their new prize sans Crimea already.

But even the best laid plans do go awry and fate of Shashko Bily has members of Red Sector vowing reprisals in would could easily turn into a bloodbath of neo-Nazi vs. neo-Nazi and both jousting for control of what is at this point an already fragile government. Throw into an already volatile mix the presence of old guard corrupt nationalist lunatics like the recently sprung from prison “Gas Princess” Yulia Tymoshenko going off the chain and ranting insanely and it is a proverbial ticking time bomb. These are not the remarks of a highly regarded figure would make to promote stability and foster well being:

"I am sorry that I am not able to be there and am not in charge of these processes, they wouldn't have had a fucking chance of getting Crimea off me."

"I would have found a way to finish off these bastards."

"I am hoping that I will use all my connections and will get the whole world to rise up so that not even scorched earth would be left of Russia."

"Discussing the fate of Ukraine's 8 million ethnic Russians, Tymoshenko was also heard saying that they should be "nuked."

She sounds just like Senator McCain's type of gal.

Nice stuff that the neocons have unleashed, kind of brings back memories of all of the sectarian killings, tortures, murders and prowling death squads that were unleashed after Bush and Cheney bombed and invaded Iraq. This could turn out to be a real mess for those greedy American corporations that Victoria “Fuck the EU” Nuland had invited to feast upon the conquered carcass of Ukraine like so many vultures.

But the vultures will indeed feast given the new growth industry that will be dead bodies strewn from one end of the country to the other thanks to yet another US foreign policy clusterfuck.
