Definition of Irony:John Kerry Visits Saudi Arabia on Anniversary of 9/11

You have to hand it to Secretary of State John "Skull and Bones" Kerry, as the nation's top diplomat the man scores right around zero on the political sensitivity scale. Kerry, who is a source of ongoing embarrassment to the image of the U.S. stopped off in Saudi Arabia on Thursday - the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that murdered over 3,000 Americans. Considering the dismal quality of the nincompoops at the State Department like Marie Harf, Jen Psaki and Victoria Nuland it is unsurprising that nobody bothered to take into account the fact that 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from The Kingdom.

Kerry was on his latest whirlwind tour to sell the disastrous policies of the Obama regime. This time it is the looming disaster of the war on ISIS that Barry rolled out in a tour de force of teleprompter recited bullshit in his speech on Wednesday night. Hell, when you have to fight the "terrorists" there are no greater authorities on "terrorism" than the decadent pigs in the House of Saud. They have a history of funding and supporting Islamist extremists. None other than Prince Bandar himself was dabbling in arming the rebels in Syria that included al Qaeda sympathizers and admitted cannibals last year before Kerry's diarrhea of the mouth gaffe allowed the hated Russian leader Vladimir Putin to sweep in and prevent a war. Now with the emergence of ISIS (or IS or ISIL as dear leader refers to them) there is the chance of another bite at the apple of a backdoor regime change against Bashar al Assad in Syria.

Americans yesterday honored the victims although whenever the anniversary comes, despite the ceremonies and solemn speeches on what has been labeled Patriot Day there are always the obvious omissions. First and foremost being that the overreaction to the 9/11 attacks have allowed for the slow but steady dismantling of the Constitution, the implementation of the Patriot Act, the expansion of a domestic surveillance state and of course the endless and costly Middle East wars. Wars that calculating swine like Obama never level with Americans about what it would truly take to forever rid the world of the influence of radical Islam. We are talking a total commitment here, one which would last for generations and require real sacrifice from the nation. We are talking about the restoration of the draft and the type of transformation of our entire society to devote generations to wiping out an ideology and that would take political courage of a nature that does not exist. It would also entail the cutting off of the head of the snake itself in Saudi Arabia.

Then there is the matter of those missing twenty eight pages of the 2002 "Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001" that are said to show some level of Saudi complicity in the attacks. The government has been fighting tooth, fang and claw to keep the information within this report hidden from the American public over the course of the administrations of two presidencies. I don't see that this report merited any mention in the coverage of the 9/11 anniversary yesterday. There is currently an ongoing effort being made by members of congress to have the contents of these 28 pages released which would do much to shed some light on the 9/11 attacks and who provided aid to the terrorists.

Yet there was John Forbes Kerry, the flip-flopping, finger-wagging windbag schmoozing and bribing the leadership of the very country that bore a share of the responsibility in bringing down the twin towers. You just can't make crap like this up.

Blasphemy! Kerry Slips Up and Criticizes Israel

If you have to five one thing to the babbling ass who is the sitting Secretary of State of the USA! USA! USA! he is certainly is consistent. During John "Skull and Bones" Kerry's five show whirlwind tour of the Sunday morning propaganda circuit to gin up support behind a coordinated campaign to frame Russian leader Vladimir Putin for the shooting down of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 on Thursday the man with the ongoing and incurable case of diarrhea of the mouth slipped up in the worst possible place - Fox News.

Kerry has inflamed pro-Israel sentiment by daring to drop the proverbial turd in the punch bowl that has at least temporarily spoiled the fun in murdering women and children in Gaza like shooting fish in a barrel and will now have to take a break from his lying about Putin's alleged culpability in the jetliner catastrophe to engage in damage control - ass-kissing and prostrating himself before Bibi Netanyahu, the Israel amen chorus in the US Congress and the media - over his unspeakable blasphemy.

Fox of course pounced on the off-camera gaffe as the propaganda arm of the Republican party would be inclined to do, particularly in an election cycle and when there is a chance to even further enrage the chicken fried motherfuckers and their bastardized version of Christianity to goose-step to the polls come November. It is yet another opportunity to smear the Obama regime as being anti-Semitic, insufficiently loyal to God's chosen colony of racist, pogrom conducting, mass-murdering lunatics that is the festering wart on the ass of all of humanity under it's current extremist leadership. Mondoweiss has the clip of Kerry's off-camera goof as well as the reaction of Fox Sunday's host Chris Wallace pouncing on it like a dog devouring a piece of meat that is dropped from the dinner table.

Netanyahu Racks Up the Body Count of Dead Children While Israelis Cheer

The Guardian offers this account of hurricane John's mortal sin in a story entitled "Unguarded comments suggest Kerry frustration at civiliantoll in Gaza" from which I excerpt:

The secretary of state, John Kerry, on Sunday appeared to criticise Israel’s claims about the targeted scope of its attacks on Gaza, as a open microphone caught him talking to an aide ahead of a TV interview.
 “It’s a hell of a pinpoint operation, it’s a hell of a pinpoint operation,” Kerry, who was appearing on Fox News Sunday as part of a tour of all five main US talkshows, said to an aide on the phone, in a frustrated tone.
 It was not the first time Kerry's private criticisms of Israeli policy have emerged in public. In April, the Daily Beast reported that he had warned a closed door meeting of world leaders that Israel could become an “apartheid state” if a two-state solution was not found and that if peace talks failed there could be a resumption of Palestinian violence against Israeli citizens.
 Israel has launched air strikes, artillery fire and a ground operation in Gaza. According to health officials in the Palestinian territory, 340 people have been killed, nearly 2,400 wounded and tens of thousands displaced in 12 days of fighting.
 Ahead of his interview with Fox News Sunday, Kerry said: “We’ve got to get over there. Thank you, John. I think, John, we ought to go tonight. I think it’s crazy to be sitting around.”
 In his interview on CNN's State of the Union, Kerry said President Barack Obama would ask him to go to the Middle East soon to aid in efforts to secure a ceasefire.
 Earlier, speaking on CNN, the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, said Israel’s response to rocket attacks from Gaza had been “very measured and trying to be as pinpointed as we can”.
 “What choice do we have?” Netanyahu said. “We have to protect ourselves. We try to target the rocketeers, we do. And all civilian casualties are not intended by us but actually intended by Hamas who want to pile up as many civilian dead as they can because somebody said they use telegenically dead Palestinians for the cause. They want the more dead the better.”
 The Fox host Chris Wallace confronted Kerry about his comments and asked if he was implying that the Israeli government had gone too far in its Gaza operations. Kerry said Israel had a right to defend itself but stood by his comments.

Obama has to be pulling out what remains of his rapidly graying hair over his top diplomat's latest fuck-up and especially now right when he is ready to avenge the infliction of injury upon his massive ego inflicted by Putin by pinning the blame for MH17 on him. Now he is going to have to deal with the bleating of the pigs about his secret Muslim agenda and underlying hate for Jews - hell, the Republicans may even drag out old tapes of Reverend Wright to run during the mid-terms against Democrats. Obama really should demand Kerry's resignation - not for the little morsel of truth that accidentally slipped out today but for his ongoing incompetence in managing foreign policy which over the last year has been as fucked up as it was at just about any time during the Bushreich with the exception of the Abu Ghraib Prison torture pictures getting out to the public. Then Obama should do the right thing and resign himself but only after issuing one last executive order cutting off ALL US military and economic aid to Israel.

The Bear is Loose: Obama Now on Full Cruise Control

Conjuring up the inevitable references to Nero fiddling while Rome burned, President Barack Obama took a bit of time out of his daily duties to goof off, eat pizza, suck down some suds and play billiards in Denver. Tough gig presiding over the most vicious and hellbent at global domination empire of the past seventy or so years so the big man - or "the bear" as he now apparently now refers to himself. Hell, it's not like there is really anything going on in the world like an out of control surveillance machine spying on millions of American citizens, nor his neo-Nazi packed death squads engaging in ethnic cleansing in east Ukraine, nor indispensable ally Israel bombing civilians in Gaza, nor relations with critical EU  ally Germany collapsing due to the discovery of two US spies within the government, a humanitarian crisis on the US southern border with hordes of Latin American children coming to America or a bizarre situation involving the bogeyman ISIS in Iraq and Syria. The bear is loose!

It is looking pretty obvious that Obama is going to just milk the gig and run out the clock on his dismal second term in office - has there ever been a lamer duck? In all fairness George W. Bush dicked around on taxpayer money a lot too, mostly retreating to his phony western movie set Chickenhawk Ranch in Crawford, TX to hack away at brush and ride his dirt bike so it's now like Obama is breaking new ground here but it is arguable that Bush never really did much to begin with, leaving all of the heavy lifting to Dick Cheney and later Condi Rice but Obama was supposed to be the man of hope and change. Now that it has all turned into false hope and chump change, never quite able to recover from that initial self inflicted wound of the "Team of Rivals", the underestimating of how the overreaction to a black man as president would fuel a tsunami of ginned up racism that swept the Democrats from control of the House of Representatives in the 2010 mid-terms and the daily pitched battle against both his own incompetent administration as well as the scorched earth obstructionist Republicans. The man was always out of his league to begin with and it's obvious that he is now going to just coast through until January 2017.

The problem, other than the public relations aspect itself is that while Barry is out living it up he is leaving the work of actually running the country to guys like Secretary of State John Kerry, an abject moron albeit one with (like Bush) a Skull and Bones pedigree and Vice President Joe Biden. Other than the obvious set of gonads the one thing that both men have is an uncanny ability to say the dumbest goddamned things at the worst times and in the case of Kerry, chronic diarrhea of the mouth. While Obama yucks it up with the locals on his western foray Kerry has been in China where he like the walking embodiment of American hypocrisy that he has become wags his finger at the Chinese for spying. The latest breach being that Chinese technical wizards allegedly hacked into the database of the USG Office of Personnel Management. According to a story in The Guardian entitled "Kerry hits out at Chinese cyber-spying":

US secretary of state John Kerry condemned Chinese cyber-espionage in unusually strong terms while wrapping up a series of high-level meetings in Beijing on Thursday, as reports surfaced that Chinese hackers breached the US office of personnel management (OPM) earlier this year.

"Instances of cyber theft have harmed our business and threatened our nation's competitiveness," Kerry said at a joint closing session of the sixth annual strategic and economic dialogue, as it wrapped up its second day. "The loss of intellectual property through cyber [spying] has a chilling effect on innovation and investment."

AND

China foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei brushed off the allegation at a regular press briefing on Thursday. "Some US media and US cyber security [firms] always smear China and create the theory that China is a cyber threat, but they can't provide sufficient evidence of that," he said. "We feel strongly that these kinds of reports and comments are irresponsible and not worth a comment or refuting."

How John Forbes Kerry and by extension ANY representative of the USA! USA! USA!  actually elieve that they can possibly be taken serious anymore on anything outside of our cloistered borders is astonishing, the very epitome of the arrogance of American exceptionalism. Perhaps the greatest service provided by former government contractor turned NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has performed is in outing the spying programs of the US government is that he exposed the entire rancid assembly of clowns as the phonies and hypocrites that they are. That Kerry lectured the Chinese at the same time that German Chancellor Angela Merkel ousted the CIA Station Chief from Germany over the discovery of the two moles shows the completely surreal alternate universe in which the Obama regime operates. It would by piss in your pants funny were it not so dangerous. It all brings to mind that great old Chinese of "may you live in interesting times".

Obama should have picked up a good supply of pot in Denver now that it's legal, since he already has spent years stumbling around is if in a drug induced fog what would the difference be if he just kicked back and pounded the bong for the next thirty months.

Ultimatum of the Finger Wagger: Kerry Again Threatens Russia

Secretary of State John Kerry, the epitome of the ugly American is once again wagging his finger in the face of Russia and President Vladimir Putin. According to Reuters, the top Skull and Bones alum over at Foggy Bottom has ordered Putin to immediately disarm anti-austerity, anti-fascist freedom fighters in Eastern Ukraine. Currently engaged in more plotting with his EU counterparts in Brussels to complete the absorption of Ukraine into the EU and later NATO, the buffoon that is the American top diplomat continues to push the envelope. The Obama regime's ongoing reckless actions towards Russia endanger the lives of billions and if just one hot-headed idiot decides to unleash a tactical nuke or two in a burst of the emotion that is being nurtured by their bellicosity it could bring doom on a global scale. This incredibly stupid personal vendetta by Kerry and Obama and their cadre of neocon fanatics is not going to end well for any of us and the only ones who are unable to see it are those with the ability to stop it.

The Reuters Story, entitled "Kerry tells Russia to disarm Ukraine separatists 'in hours'" states that:

Washington and other Western powers have stepped up pressure on Russia to take concrete action to defuse the conflict in eastern Ukraine, where a ceasefire between Russian-speaking rebels and government forces has appeared to be crumbling.

"We are in full agreement that it is critical for Russia to show in the next hours, literally, that they're moving to help disarm the separatists, to encourage them to disarm, to call on them to lay down their weapons and to begin to become part of a legitimate process," Kerry told reporters in Paris.

He added that EU leaders would discuss possible sanctions on Russia at their summit in Belgium on Friday.

Washington has said it also has new sanctions ready to go, but Kerry said the United States would prefer not to be in "sanctions mode" and wanted Russia to take action without pressure.

"We would like to see a cooperative effort between the United States, Europe and Russia and the Ukrainians," Kerry added.

Separatist rebellions erupted in eastern Ukraine in early April after street protests in Kiev toppled Moscow-backed leader Viktor Yanukovich, and Russia in turn annexed the Crimean peninsula. Eastern rebels have called for union with Russia. Moscow denies Western accusations that it has allowed fighters to cross into Ukraine along with heavy weapons to confront Ukrainian government forces.

The proposed next round of U.S. and EU sanctions would target Russia's financial, defense and high-tech industries, said U.S. officials.

Could the act of war that is the launching "financial neutron bomb" be coming soon? Pay no mind that Putin just acted to deescalate the situation by requesting parliament revoke his authorization to use military force in Ukraine and is continuing to be the the only rational party involved in this mess. It wasn't Putin who started it, that is unless you go back to last summer when he intervened to prevent the imminent US massive air attack on Damascus bringing both Obama and Kerry much embarrassment and then there is that Snowden asylum thing too. The propaganda machine is already spinning Putin's move as just another one of this devilish acts of trickery while the new Cold War and all of the trillions of dollars that it would generate in profits to the death industry gets ever closer.

Americans have no idea whatsoever of the reality in Ukraine, the state-corporate media has covered up this gross violation of international law from the onset. There was the fomenting of unrest by organizations like the National Endowment for Democracy to turn out the protesters in the streets of Kiev against legitimately elected president at the time Viktor Yanukovych and the subsequent infiltration and hijacking of the protests by bloodthirsty neo-Nazi thugs who were able to introduce violence. Senator John McCain, a psychopath and by the way that he is treated by the media, the de facto US President was photographed in Kiev palling around with neo-Nazis right before the sh*t hit the fan. Then there was that still mysterious killing of both police and protesters by snipers that ignited the smoldering powder keg and led to the ouster of Yanukovych along with the installation of a US backed puppet regime lead by former central banker Arseniy Yatsenyuk or "Yats" as he is affectionately known by former Dick Cheney aide and current Assistant US Secretary of State Victoria "f*ck the EU" Nuland. She is also the woman who handed out cookies to anti-government protesters in Kiev in a public relations exercise and boasted to US corporate interests about the $5 billion dollars of American taxpayer money that has been funneled into Ukraine over the years to ensure that the country would be safe for corporate plunder when the time came.

The best laid plans to surprise Putin with the Ukraine coup d'etat being executed while he was occupied with the Sochi Winter Olympics naturally weren't without failures. Really, anything that the neocons touch as a result of their lunatic dreams of global conquest carry within it the seeds of their own destruction and Ukraine is the latest example. There was Putin's initial request to use military force in Ukraine and then the lightning fast secession of Crimea along with the subsequent vote to join Russia along with the official annexation. This was an unforgivable transgression despite the fact that Crimea always was a part of Russia until Nikita Kruschev (legend has it he was drunk at the time) gave it away in 1954. The corporate forces that were ready to pillage and loot with impunity after the installation of "Yats" were furious as were the neocon geniuses whose prized target - the Russian naval base at Sevastopol was snatched from their claws immediately. The puppet government struck back and into the east went the goons and neo-Nazi militias to commit their heinous atrocities such as the murderous and barbaric acts at the Odessa trade union building which has for all intents and purposes been flushed down the memory hole. Christ know that we can't tell Americans the truth that their government is now on the side of the same Nazi scum that their fathers and grandfathers risked all to defeat in World War II.

The people in the east, knowing from history the full potential of the horrors wrought by Nazi ideology unleashed did what they could do - they fought back and are holding their own to this day despite the US-EU-NATO Axis of Aggression sanctioned use of they military on civilians - including the use of incendiary munitions such as the ones used in Gazaand Fallujah. Ukraine has a new puppet leader, a corrupt oligarch installed to much hoopla in a bogus election named Petro Poroshenko aka "the Chocolate King" and early indications show that he is hellbent on doing the bidding of the US power structure in crushing the uprising in the east under that evil and ubiquitous justification of fighting "terrorists" - which is coming very soon to America.

Poroshenko is eager to please his western masters and after formalizing the deal with the devil for the Ukranian people that is the EU austerity agreement his is upping his rhetoric towards Putin. According to The Guardian in a story entitled "Ukraine president accuses Russia of doing nothing to end 'disastrous' war" the Chocolate King was providing the cover for the coming round of sanctions in the Obama regime's ongoing provocations of Russia. I excerpt the following:

Speaking in Brussels, Poroshenko stated bluntly that the rebels were under the control of Vladimir Putin's Kremlin. "I think now Russia has done nothing," he said. "We are talking of Russian citizens, Russian officers, Russians by origin, Russian soldiers of fortune." He characterised the Kremlin's strategy in Ukraine as "not very pragmatic" and "very emotional".

AND

Asked if Ukraine would get Crimea back during his presidential term, Poroshenko smiled and said: "Yes"

It was more of the same vintage Russia-baiting as that recent absurd accusation from NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen that the Putin government was secretly working in close coordination with European environmentalists in fighting the "fracking" industry. From The Guardian story "Russia 'secretly working with environmentalists to oppose fracking'":

The head of one of the world's leading groups of democratic nations has accused Russia of undermining projects using hydraulic fracturing technology in Europe.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen, secretary-general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato), and former premier of Denmark, told the Chatham House thinktank in London on Thursday that Vladimir Putin's government was behind attempts to discredit fracking, according to reports.

Rasmussen said: "I have met allies who can report that Russia, as part of their sophisticated information and disinformation operations, engaged actively with so-called non-governmental organisations - environmental organisations working against shale gas - to maintain European dependence on imported Russian gas."

It was something straight out of the John Birch Society Blue Book and yet here is the leader of NATO hurling about a dangerous and baseless charge that could have dire ramifications in the United States where the fight against the destructive practice of "fracking" is facing growing opposition. Given the actions of the NSA and the constitutional wrecking crew of both the Obama and Bush administrations it is not much of a reach to believe that US domestic activists are already being subjected to surveillance and cases are already being built against them. it is a certainty that these are exactly the targets that the NSA is really going after and this will likely be exposed once Snowden's list is revealed. They will have good company too in that antiwar activists and bloggers and independent media writers who dare to question the corrupt system that now dominates politics in The Homeland are going to be on it too.

The runaway train that is hurtling towards a hideous endgame over Ukraine that will likely result in World War III continues to pick up speed, Poroshenko's demagoguery and the predictable reaction by Russian political figures who have again been stabbed in the back by the west continue to jack up the tensions. Not that Putin adviser Sergei Glazyev was wrong when he called the new boss in Kiev "a Nazi" for the recently inked austerity deal as reported by The Guardian:

Sergei Glazyev, an adviser to Putin, told the BBC before the signing that "Europe is trying to push Ukraine to sign this agreement by force" and said Petro Poroshenko, the president, lacked the legitimacy to make the deal.

"They organised [a] military coup in Ukraine; they helped Nazis to come to power. This Nazi government is bombing the largest region in Ukraine." He said he "of course" believed the Ukrainian president was a Nazi.

Not that you will read about that in the US state-corporate media, at least not in anything even resembling the actual context but his is correct - the coming carnage in the east is going to make that slaughter at the Odessa trade union building look like a picnic. The real way that the Kiev junta think about their Russian speaking countrymen has been made obvious by not only the murderous actions of rampaging neo-Nazi militias but also by Yatsenyuk himself when he slipped up about two weeks ago and referred to the anti-austerity fighters as "subhumans" or as the many in Ukraine who cling to the legend of their hero, Nazi-collaborator and mass-murderer Stepan Bandera would describe them - untermensch.

But Kerry continues to pontificate, threaten and wave that damned finger of his as though this country still has that most priceless commodity that is the moral high ground - only the rubes, drunk on their star-spangled fat asses off of the toxic elixir of "American exceptionalism" as preached by snake oil salesmen like Obama believe that garbage - because when you throw in with the admirers of the twentieth century's greatest criminals the Nazis, it has been ceded forever.

Smearing of Snowden Begins after NBC Interview

The most hated man in America today, at least  by the unprincipled charlatans in the establishment is former government contractor turned NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and the lackeys of the corrupt National Security State and the polluted Obama regime have attacked him as they were a pack of mange crazed dogs. The running man managed to hit the big time - at least in America where television is the drug of choice - in an exclusive interview with NBC's Brian Williams. It was Snowden's big public relations opportunity after months of being kicked around by scum the likes of Peter King, Mike Rogers, Michael Hayden and on Wednesday Secretary of Skull and Bones John Kerry who is befitting to wear the crown of king of American assholes after his last nine or ten months on the job. Kerry hit the Wednesday morning television circuit to repeatedly and dishonestly trash Snowden as a "traitor" and a "coward" in much the same way that the angel of death Dick Cheney did to the 2004 version of Kerry himself. Seems like once a particular level is achieved in the American political class that a truly putrescent rottenness blooms and Kerry is resplendent as he practically glows with hypocrisy, moral debauchery and elitist decadence.

The massive smear job on Snowden started early yesterday, well before the airing of the interview based on a sneak preview segment (one wonders if NBC picked it out) where he made comments to the effect that he was trained as a spy. The usual suspects pounced on that to mock the top target on Obama's kill list as living in a fantasy world and other horseshit - the number one tactic of the pigs who run this star-spangled sty is to discredit and turn their vast propaganda apparatus loose. But really, considering what Snowden really said: “I was trained as a spy in sort of the traditional sense of the word — in that I lived and worked undercover, overseas, pretending to work in a job that I’m not and even being assigned a name that was not mine”. While Snowden's official duty with the Central Intelligence Agency remains mysterious when one is working either directly for or as a contractor for the US government, under a fake name, at a fake business in a foreign country and conducting surveillance I would venture to say that such a person would in fact be a "spy" in the truest sense of the world. It is lost on millions of meat heads though but those really aren't the type of people that you really want to try to convince of anything anyway. As the old saying goes, "never try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and it annoys the pig".

But I digress...

After the exclusive NBC interview with the celebrity talking head Williams it was time to pile on Snowden and the attacks, while ridiculous and predictable were particularly nasty. NBC News has the Snowden interview on their website with the subtitle "Traitor or Patriot", the New York Times slyly floated the innuendo that Snowden was an agent of Putin (with special bonus points for kicking Glenn Greenwald in the balls as "smug and unreasonable") and the gaggle of vermin like Peter King, the unhinged terrorist supporter called the interview an "infomercial". On top of it all, after Snowden stated that he had attempted to use formal channels to report an NSA run amok the American Stasi came out today and released some bullshit email from Snowden as 'proof' that he never attempted to utilize the proper channels. According to a story in The Guardian the NSA stated that it was the only record it could find. This is the same agency that lies about everything and performs duties for a government that sends forth perjurers like Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to lie to Congress about the unconstitutional mass surveillance and data-mining programs that the patriot Snowden exposed.

The deck is stacked in the US media, one who opposes Leviathan is never going to get a fair trial in the court of public opinion and over the next few days Snowden will be electronically lynched, likely culminating with an all star lineup of fascist scum on the Sunday morning 'news' show circuit. A truth teller will never get any sort of honest treatment in the US corporate-state media and while Snowden may be smart he is naive to have afforded a fully vested servant of the establishment such as Brian Williams serve as his Judas Goat.

New US Puppet in Kiev: Chocolate King Escalates Violence

The much hyped elections in Ukraine (at least the US-EU-NATO backed part of the country) took place on Sunday and have enthroned another greedy oligarch in Petro Poroshenko aka “The Chocolate King”. Despite much of the besieged country, under attack by the global finance mafia, rapacious corporations - like gas company Burisma Holdings which in one of those cozy crony capitalist mob deals just hired VP Joe Biden's son R.Hunter Biden to divvy up the spoils - and savage neo-Nazis that serve as the muscle for the coup regime of Arseniy Yatsenuyk or as he is affectionately referred to by State Department neocon Victoria "Fuck the EU" Nuland - not being able to vote. The election of the candy man is just another one of those staged by the state-corporate media for the benefit of the schmucks illusions that this once great country now must suffer on a near daily basis.

Let the austerity begin - but first there is killing to be done and the eager to please Poroshenko has already adopted the US talking points in referring to anti-fascist, anti-austerity "rebels" in the East as "terrorists". Only in America can raw horseshit like this be sold to so many eager buyers - wasn't the entire fucking premise of the overthrow of democratically elected leader Viktor Yanukovych that he was a sleazy oligarch whoring out to foreign interests and shitting on toilets made of gold? Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. If there is one minor benefit to soon to be fleeced by the IMF and other global piranhas is that the deranged Yulia Tymoshenko aka “The Gas Princess” was thrashed soundly along with her avowed referendum to start WWIII by locking down a death pact with NATO. Small matter of consolation to the victims of the latest violent escalation by the illicit regime - chocolate mogul or not - that has unleashed a new wave of carnage including the use of military helicopters against civilians.

The porcine Poroshenko will be a big hit with the neocons at Foggy Bottom and in the Obama White House, Barry himself probably can't be more thrilled now that he has more cover for the actions of his Reagan style death squads as they continue to wantonly murder civilians. The stammering ass himself, John "Skull and Bones" Kerry has already come out and spoken glowingly of the new order in Ukraine. Per The Guardian:

The US secretary of state, John Kerry, said that Sunday’s presidential elections in Ukraine sent a “clear message” that the country's people want to “live in a united, democratic and peaceful Ukraine anchored in European institutions”.

Though Kerry's statement, issued on Monday, did not name President Vladimir Putin of Russia by name, his comments on the all but certain electoral victory of the pro-west businessman Petro Poroshenko were clearly directed towards Moscow.

High praise coming from a man who has continually tried to sell a new war to Americans based on false flag sarin gas attacks in Syria but Kerry has no honor, nor any shame, he is a true creature of the financial elite who when the wet work has been done in East Ukraine will descend like vultures to loot in an orgiastic frenzy while Poroshenko wipes his ass with American hundred dollar bills. Men like John Forbes Kerry represent the worst elements in the diseased character of those who have seized control of America, he once apparently stood for principle - at least in the aftermath of his Vietnam service but with the way this horse-faced charlatan conducts himself one has to wonder whether the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth were onto something. Kerry made it a point to dig his bony nose into Putin's chest with his comments that the farcical elections (omitting the ongoing murders) were a "clear message" to Russia.

Is there any wonder why the entire civilized world hates America so much? I mean is this the best that we have to offer? 

This bullshit election does nothing to remedy the neocon coup d'etat disaster in Ukraine, it only worsens matters and the Chocolate King is already mouthing off about Crimea too so instead of deescalating this mess the Obama regime is only hastening what now appears to be our imminent date with historical infamy. 

All because these slimy, criminal psychopaths like Obama had their poor egos bruised by the big bad Putin. 

Sanction This Obama! Russia Signs Gas Deal With China

The damage inflicted upon the USA, USA, USA both economically and in terms of credibility thanks to the Obama all star foreign policy team of unrivaled buffoons will truly not be understood until well into the future as the rubble from the collapse is sifted through by historians but the most important point is that it was all so unnecessary. Not that a happy ending to the neocon instigated overthrow of a democratically elected leader and the installation of a puppet regime backed by fascists and neo-Nazis could be expected and heads are likely exploding throughout Washington over the backfiring of their scheme.

There is just no way to look at America these days and now be astounded at the dismal quality of the US political class in that the savvy and demonized Vladimir Putin has just punked Obama and his minions yet again. First there was granting asylum to Edward Snowden, that blistering September 11, 2013 New York Times op ed in which Putin called out the ridiculous concept of American exceptionalism, the intervention to stop what was to be a massive attack on Syria (that one really pissed Obama off) and now the best of all in making the entire US establishment and their loyal winged monkeys in the state corporate media look like a pack of chumps by showing them exactly where they could stick their economic sanctions.

The 30 year, $400 billion deal illustrates how far that US Empire of war, greed and stupidity has fallen - picking up speed since 2001 - and the failure of Obama and Kerry's 'we'll huff and we'll puff and we'll blow your house down Mr. Putin' economic punishment over not falling in line with the US-EU-NATO Axis of Aggression and allowing for the absorption of Ukraine. Despite perhaps the greatest US media propaganda campaign in history (it put even the run up to the Iraq attack to shame) all that America is now left with now that the prestige and moral high ground have left the barn forever is a mammoth, money-sucking military machine, a rotten to the core political system, obsolete and crumbling infrastructure that is blown away by any advanced country, a workforce that cannot compete in a global world because the lack the necessary intellect and skills, an economy that only consists of pushing bad paper through above the law Wall Street casinos and a surveillance system that has no peer. Americans have a very bleak future indeed thanks to the series of failures by an arrogant, short-sighted political class and that doesn't take into account skyrocketing food and gas prices a good percentage of whom to blame for the coming food crisis can be laid at the foot of commodities speculators operating with impunity and big agribusiness that operates on a greed crazed, inefficient model that has driven locally produced food out of business. Dark days are coming and coming soon.

As far as the Russia-China gas deal, the virtual holy grail for the countries to which the future belongs I excerpt the following from The Guardian:

Russia and China have signed a 30-year, $400bn (£237bn) deal for Gazprom to deliver Russian gas to China in a deal that underscores Russia's shift towards Asia amid strained relations with the west.

The contract to provide 38bn cubic metres of gas each year was signed by the state-owned gas companies Gazprom and CNPC (China National Petroleum Corporation) in the presence of the countries' leaders, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, at the end of Putin's two-day visit to Beijing.

The Russian president – who has been pushing to close the deal after almost a decade of negotiations – called the agreement "the largest in the gas sphere during the era of the USSR and Russia".

But one British energy expert warned that the move could drive up prices for European gas consumers who are becoming increasingly dependent on Russia and now face competition for supplies.

Aled Jones, director of the Global Sustainability Institute at Anglia Ruskin University, warned that the Britain had the equivalent of only three years of North Sea gas left on the basis of current consumption and without the use of imports. "Russia's new pipeline to China will increase competition for natural gas from 2018 and will most likely increase the cost we pay for natural gas here in the EU. It will certainly increase the pressure on European countries to find alternative gas supplies," he said

I am sure that the people of Europe facing rising fuel costs due to the stupidity of their leaders and their failure to do anything but lick Uncle Sam's red, white and blue jackboots will be positively thrilled to shell out more money due to the blowback from the Ukraine disaster. At least Europe has a history of revolutions and a public that has managed to climb out of the mental morass of primitive religion that has exploded across The Homeland, it would do the peasants well to begin to ponder storming the castles and bring back the guillotine for their own rancid and corrupt political leaders.  It won't be long until there is a realization that the expansion of NATO and the botched coup in Kiev aren't the only things that the US establishment has lied about - that little miracle of abundant energy due to the "fracking" boom may not be all that it is cracked up to be.

More importantly though is how the US will react to this latest running drop kick in the balls from Putin. Do Obama, the buffoons at Foggy Bottom and the think tank dwelling ideologues finally back down or do they go down with all guns blazing in one final Wild Bunch style suicide charge and drag the rest of us down with them.

Neocons Squeal Like Stuck Pigs Over Ukraine Referendum

You had to know that the neocons weren't going to go down easy after Sunday's overwhelming vote by anti-fascist, US-EU-NATO enforced austerity opponents in East Ukraine to reject the illegitimately installed puppet regime in Kiev. It is the utmost of irony in that the regime changers whose presence within the US corridors of power have eaten away at the foundations of American democracy like a colony of Formosan termites actually managed to bring "democracy" to Ukraine but in typical William Kristol style keening outrage are apoplectic that their will was rejected by the actual people who would be affected. The spreading of "democracy" - which when applied on foreign soil amounts to the spreading of fresh manure is the rallying cry for the chickenhawk squadrons as they pursue global US conquest at gunpoint. In the vision of our Founding Fathers one would think that today would be a proud moment when America actually practiced what she preached by seeing the victims of the red, white and blue jackboot rise up in unison to cast off the chains at the ballot boxes despite the presence of neo-Nazis and fascists using violence and voter suppression to prevent them from that God given right of self-determination.

Erupting from the roiling sewer of filth that is Foggy Bottom - home of the bumbling ass clown Skull and Bones alum that is John F. Kerry as well as Victoria "Fuck the EU" Nuland (aka Nudelman) - was a braying of outrage, whining, lies and propaganda that is the hallmark of sore losers. The State Department rapidly issued an official "press release" screed calling the anti-fascist referendum out as illegitimate - no mention to the cookie woman and the illegally installed "Yats" regime being such but that can be expected for an institution that has come to oppose any thing that represents morality and traditional American values:

As the United States has said, the referenda being planned for May 11 in portions of eastern Ukraine by armed separatist groups are illegal under Ukrainian law and are an attempt to create further division and disorder. If these referenda go forward, they will violate international law and the territorial integrity of Ukraine. The United States will not recognize the results of these illegal referenda.

In addition, we are disappointed that the Russian government has not used its influence to forestall these referenda since President Putin’s suggestion on May 7 that they be postponed, when he also claimed that Russian forces were pulling back from the Ukrainian border.

Unfortunately, we still see no Russian military movement away from the border, and today Kremlin-backed social media and news stations encouraged residents of eastern Ukraine to vote tomorrow, one even offering instructions for polling stations in Moscow. Russian state media also continue to strongly back the referenda with no mention of Putin’s call for postponement.

The focus of the international community must now be on supporting the Ukrainian government’s consistent efforts to hold a presidential election on May 25. International observers note that preparations for these elections are proceeding apace and in accordance with international standards, which will allow all Ukrainian people a voice in the future of their country. According to recent independent polls, a substantial majority of Ukrainians intend to vote on May 25. Any efforts to disrupt this democratic process will be seen clearly for what they are, attempts to deny the rights of Ukraine’s citizens to express their political will freely.

As President Obama and Chancellor Merkel stated on May 2, the Russian leadership must know that if it continues to destabilize eastern Ukraine and disrupt this month’s presidential election, we will move quickly to impose greater costs on Russia.

The Russian government can still choose to implement its Geneva commitments, as well as follow through on President Putin’s statement of May 7. We call on them to do so.

Totally laughable in that the now flogged to death fake devil that is Vladimir Putin has warned not to "disrupt" the upcoming presidential "election" which is an always has been a farce and a rigged game by the Empire. When you are choosing between such luminaries as the   "The Chocolate King" and the "Gas Princess" you are pretty well fucked but that just doesn't seem to resonate in a land where our fine and vaunted choices come November 2016 will in all probability be named Clinton and Bush. The Ukrainian people are not stupid enough to just sit back and get it rammed up their asses by two corrupt oligarchs working for the same interests like the sheep here in the land of the free and the home of the brave (ha ha ha - sardonic laughter). And as far as official US State Department statements, given the lunatics running the asylum charade under the 'leadership' of Kerry they are about as useful as kitty litter box liner.

Then there is the missing airplane network CNN dutifully parroting neocon propaganda as is typical with tales of voter fraud at the polls. One would think that after being humiliated over the imbecile responsible for posting that very telling graphic incorrectly showing that the geographic location of East Ukraine was in Pakistan that they would just stick to the panty-sniffing celebrity scandals and other tawdry sleaze but hey - it is America's NUMBER ONE name in news and serves as a testament to the triumph of the willfully ignorant. 

So we will continue to be fed bullshit biscuits by our corrupt, immoral war criminal leaders and their rotten to the core institutions as well as their bordering on parody media machine - how long will it take until Americans finally stand up on their own damned hind legs and bite back against their exploiters and oppressors just like the freedom loving people in East Ukraine are doing?

The clock is ticking.....

US Backed Fascist Thugs Unleashed in Ukraine

With the American minds now fully inundated with anti-Russian propaganda and lies as to the composition of the US backed coup government in Ukraine the time has finally come to unleash the goons. After weeks of threats, military buildups and visitations by high US officials to the neo-Nazi/fascist backed "Yats" regime all hell broke loose on Friday. The point of no return - if not already crossed by the duplicity of the US-EU-NATO triad was reached when the occupying government in Kiev sent forth military helicopters against civilians and extremist shock troops began a pogrom in the city of Odessa. Now it is on like Donkey Kong!

It is another of those sick ironies that plague this country, especially since the September 11, 2001 attacks allowed for the Deep State to give birth to The Homeland that German Chancellor Angela Merkel appeared with Barack Obama at the White House to bash Russia hours before fascist thugs burned down a trade union hall and roasted orasphyxiatedeveryone inside. Merkel incidentally holds the same gig as a certain German leader did the last time that things like this happened. Obama as yet has not condemned the violence - after all, the USA, USA, USA is on the same side as the neo-Nazis and fascists this time.

As for those murdered by Kiev's illegitimately installed government in Odessa there is zero remorse coming from Obama and Kerry today - it's rare to see this level of callous indifference when brown-skinned non-Christians are not involved. In fact Kerry, like the finger-wagging, overbearing horse's ass that he is launched into yet another diatribe blaming Russia and issuing even more threats. According to a story in The Guardian:

Kerry said it was important Russia withdrew support for such separatists, who have seized government buildings in about a dozen cities and towns in Ukraine, and raised the prospect of additional Western sanctions if there were indications of continued interference by Russia.

Kerry also said he and Lavrov discussed the violence in Odessa, where at least 42 people died on Friday.

"All of this violence is absolutely unacceptable,” Kerry said, “and Russia, the United States, Ukrainians, Europeans, the OSCE all of us bear responsibility to do everything in our power to reduce the capacity of militants and extremists who are armed to be carrying out these terrorist and violent activities.

“They must end, and everybody with any influence on any party has an obligation to try to bring an end to this violence.”

But Kerry lies in that "everybody" doesn't include the US-EU-NATO Axis of Aggression. Emperor Obama won't call off his neo-Nazis nor the Contra style death squads that will be stocked with drooling members of Pravy Sektor and other fascist groups to conduct their counter-insurgency sprees of murder, rape and torture. There is only one way for this to end without consequences of a history altering manner and that is for Putin to surrender and crawl on his belly to lick Obama's boots. That ain't going to happen so we are now heading towards something that will end in misery for all involved. I regularly read the great work of former Reagan administration Assistant Secretary of Treasury, former Wall Street Journal editor and economist Paul Craig Roberts who has long been predicting doom for this system, it has taken a little bit more time to get here but now we find ourselves being force marched to the gates of Hell itself. In his latest piece which is entitled "Washington Intends Russia's Demise" Dr. Roberts writes:

Washington has no intention of allowing the crisis in Ukraine to be resolved. Having failed to seize the country and evict Russia from its Black Sea naval base, Washington sees new opportunities in the crisis.

One is to restart the Cold War by forcing the Russian government to occupy the Russian-speaking areas of present day Ukraine where protesters are objecting to the stooge anti-Russian government installed in Kiev by the American coup. These areas of Ukraine are former constituent parts of Russia herself. They were attached to Ukraine by Soviet leaders in the 20th century when both Ukraine and Russia were part of the same country, the USSR.

Essentially, the protesters have established independent governments in the cities. The police and military units sent to suppress the protesters, called “terrorists” in the American fashion, for the most part have until now defected to the protesters.

With Obama’s incompetent White House and State Department having botched Washington’s takeover of Ukraine, Washington has been at work shifting the blame to Russia. According to Washington and its presstitute media, the protests are orchestrated by the Russian government and have no sincere basis. If Russia sends in military units to protect the Russian citizens in the former Russian territories, the act will be used by Washington to confirm Washington’s propaganda of a Russian invasion (as in the case of Georgia), and Russia will be further demonized.

AND

The time is approaching when Russia will either have to act to terminate the crisis or accept an ongoing crisis and distraction in its backyard. Kiev has launched military airstrikes on protesters in Slavyansk. On May 2 Russian government spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Kiev’s resort to violence had destroyed the hope for the Geneva agreement on de-escalating the crisis. Yet, the Russian government spokesman again expressed the hope of the Russian government that European governments and Washington will put a stop to the military strikes and pressure the Kiev government to accommodate the protesters in a way that keeps Ukraine together and restores friendly relations with Russia.

This is a false hope. It assumes that the Wolfowitz doctrine is just words, but it is not. The Wolfowitz doctrine is the basis of US policy toward Russia (and China). The doctrine regards any power sufficiently strong to remain independent of Washington’s influence to be “hostile.” The doctrine states:

“Our first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival, either on the territory of the former Soviet Union or elsewhere, that poses a threat on the order of that posed formerly by the Soviet Union. This is a dominant consideration underlying the new regional defense strategy and requires that we endeavor to prevent any hostile power from dominating a region whose resources would, under consolidated control, be sufficient to generate global power.”

The Wolfowitz doctrine justifies Washington’s dominance of all regions. It is consistent with the neoconservative ideology of the US as the “indispensable” and “exceptional” country entitled to world hegemony.

Russia and China are in the way of US world hegemony. Unless the Wolfowitz doctrine is abandoned, nuclear war is the likely outcome.

Not since the days when the halls of power were stalked by fanatics like  Curtis "Bombs Away" LeMay has there been such a lack of disregard for the nuclear consequences of an escalating and insane pushing of hostilities with Russia.

The state-corporate media completely abandoned any pretense of honesty in allowing this once great nation to be dragged into the debacle that was Iraq yet that failure pales in comparison to the lies about Ukraine and the pushing of a new Cold War. The ramifications of hostilities with Russia, thanks largely to our vainglorious ass of a leader and his crackerjack foreign policy team will be minor in the long run when compared with Iraq. This has civilization level damage written all over it and the way that Barry and the boys are continuing to double down to lure Putin into sending troops into Ukraine the best that we can hope for is collapse.

Can't John Kerry Just Shut the Hell Up?

Secretary of State John F. Kerry is off the chain, continuing to spew so many allegations without proof that he could be a permanent replacement for the blowhard Congressman Mike Rogers on the Sunday morning 'news' show circuit. It is pretty obvious by now that the neocons best laid plans to stick it to Vladimir Putin by launching a coup in Kiev while the Russian leader was distracted by the Sochi Olympics has gone up like a bag of flaming dogshit. The US-EU-NATO debacle in Ukraine has all of the hallmarks of a neoconservative foreign policy misadventure and is going swimmingly, like they did in Iraq only with a much lower body count - for now anyway.

The Skull and Bonesman at Foggy Bottom (all of those bastards are lifelong members) continues to become unraveled on the world stage in an increasingly discombobulated manner that embarrasses America on a near daily basis now as the arrogant prick finds out that he just may not be king shit of turd mountain after all. Now Mr. Kerry has a new one to sell everyone, that the US establishment has intercepted phone calls that prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that Russia is engaged in destabilizing Ukraine, pretty bold remarks considering that it was Kerry's State Department and particularly Victoria "Fuck the EU" Nuland who created the mess in the first place and rather than just suck it up and try to settle it diplomatically they continue to double down.

Kerry's claim about the intercepted phone calls was made in the same closed door Trilateral Commission meeting in which he slipped up and actually told the truth about Israel being on the path of turning into an "apartheid state" and was subsequently vilified and forced to grovel and beg for forgiveness for blaspheming our very special relationship with God's chosen land. According to the story, the latest in a series slamming Kerry in The Daily Beast:

“Intel is producing taped conversations of intelligence operatives taking their orders from Moscow and everybody can tell the difference in the accents, in the idioms, in the language. We know exactly who’s giving those orders, we know where they are coming from,” Kerry said at a private meeting of the Trilateral Commission in Washington. A secretly made recording of Kerry’s remarks was reported on by The Daily Beast from which I excerpt.

Kerry didn’t name specific Russian officials implicated in the recordings. But he claimed that the intercepts provided proof of the Russians deliberately fomenting unrest in eastern Ukraine—and lying about it to U.S. officials and the public.

“It’s not an accident that you have some of the same people identified who were in Crimea and in Georgia and who are now in east Ukraine,” said Kerry. “This is insulting to everybody’s intelligence, let alone to our notions about how we ought to be behaving in the 21st century. It’s thuggism, it’s rogue state-ism. It’s the worst order of behavior.”

My God the man is an ass, there is that "21st century" reference again, a similar one to that which made Kerry into an abject mockery when he spouted out on the Sunday morning show Face the Nation that: "You just don't in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pre-text" despite the USA, USA, USA doing that very thing when the Bush regime attacked and invaded Iraq on trumped up bullshit. Kerry also has in the past weeks denounced - after the tales had been discredited and in one case retracted - both the passing out of leaflets by masked men in Donestk calling for Jews to register with the authorities and then the New York Times propaganda tale about the "green men" operating in East Ukraine being photographed in both Ukraine and Russia - this one was the one that was quietly retracted.

The question is that why would anyone with even a modicum of intelligence believe anything that came out of the mouth of this assclown representative of a rogue state, to use some of Kerry's words it "is insulting to everybody's intelligence". This coming after the still unproven gassing of those civilians in Syria that despite Kerry's "we know, we know" insistence that the use of chemical weapons was perpetrated by President Bashar al Assad more than likely was a false flag event designed to cross Obama's cretinous "red line" and suck Americans into yet another disastrous Middle East war.

Kerry just keeps babbling though and now has dropped the bombshell during his latest anti-Putin rant that "Nato territory is inviolable" and "We will defend every single piece of it". While in 2014 any expectations that we Americans can have for our miserably arrogant, thoroughly corrupt political class are pretty low but shouldn't the sitting US Secretary of State know his geography - Ukraine isn't in fucking NATO!!!

Were Obama not the terminal narcissist that he is as well as nurturing a personal grudge against Putin that runs counter to the real interests of real Americans he would fire this buffoon before he manages to start WW III. Send him slinking into retirement, it's not like he will have to beg for change to survive thanks to his wife, the Heinz ketchup heiress and her fortune.
