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. 

White House Fumes as Putin Visits Crimea

The big bad Russian bogeyman Vladimir Putin just doesn't know when to stop, today he is shoving that burr up of the ass of our vainglorious leader Obama with a broomstick. Visiting Crimea, that now annexed chunk of Ukrainian corporate booty that was promised to the high finance parasites by Victoria "Fuck the EU" Nuland and friends to celebrate Victory Day.  The celebration is one of the commemoration of the crushing of the Nazis and Mr. Putin's visit has a certain building at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue filled with the sound of puckering assholes. The botched and historically stupid operation to hijack Ukraine while Putin was distracted by the Sochi Winter Olympics and which is now disintegrating by the day is a constant sore spot with the king of the narcissists Barack H. Obama.

As the echoes from the fluttering spincters bounce off of the walls in the White House, El Presidentes silly little twit of a paid liar Jay Carney popped off in an interview with Democratic party propaganda mill MSNBC that - "Any effort that he engages in that further destabilizes the situation in the rest of Ukraine, including in the east and the south, is very unhelpful." Carney didn't mention (nor was he asked) about the destabilization of the region by US backed neo-Nazi militias and assorted fascist death squads like the ones responsible for that horrifying atrocity that occurred last Friday at that trade union building in Odessa where an untold number of federalists were butchered by Obama's wonderful freedom fighters. The US backed murders continue today as the illegally installed by coup junta government of "Yats"and his fascists with military vehicles and forces sent after civilians in the city of Mariupol. Maybe Obama can get together with his fawning sycophants in the media again tomorrow night and tell jokes while he presides over the murdering of civilians in Ukraine. Just another day in the Empire.

Putin's trip to Crimea was not only a big fuck you to the Obama regime but also a reminder that Russia was the key ally during the hallowed "Good War" that chopped up Hitler's war machine in Stalingrad and elsewhere, softening up the Nazis for the kill for which the Anglo-American Empire continues to falsely hog the credit for. Carney should show more gratitude, were it not for the Russians he would be speaking German today. There is nothing quite like the a Russian, particularly one like Putin bringing up the inconvenient truth that the sacrifices by the people of that land - by most accounts over 25 million dead - spared our god-kissed, exceptional nation tens of thousands of dead Americans who would have been sent home to mother in body bags were the Nazis not decimated on the eastern front. This is the truth, not that bullshit revisionist history that is strained through John Wayne's boxer shorts and spoonfed to the inhabitants of the star-spangled lemming colony. Perhaps the greatest sin of all concerning Putin was that spot on editorial in the New York Times on September 11th of 2013 where he let it rip.

In the column the Russian leader dared to invoke the forbidden history that during World War II that his country was an ally of the U.S. and Britain and helped to defeat the Nazis. It is arguable that Russian fighting against the Germans at Stalingrad, one of the bloodiest battles in the history of mankind turned the tide and allowed for the allies to win the war. The Russians chewed up the Nazis in that brutal winter mosh pit of misery that caused the lunatic Adolf Hitler to arrogantly lose a good chunk of his military power while delivering a crushing blow to German resolve. The extreme violence and devastation on the Eastern front were critical in allowing the Americans to successfully invade Europe and then roll over the Nazis as they roared towards Berlin. The Russians don’t get enough credit here while the sainted Sir Winston Churchill gets too much of it but such is standard western hypocrisy that we are constantly fed. Especially though when one of those hypocrisies was throwing in with the despotic Joseph Stalin who was right up there with Hitler when it comes to crimes against humanity but he was our kind of bastard at just the right time. The leadership of this country has quite an impressive track record when it comes to supporting ruthless scum who torture and murder their own people so that western business interests can open new markets and plunder resources. For a great history of American meddling, murder and regime change – at least up to when it was published – there is no better resource than William Blum’s classic book “Killing Hope”. 

Ironic that today on Victory Day that Obama and his filthy criminal infested administration have chosen to not only lie about history but through their actions in supporting neo-Nazis in Ukraine are doing their damned level best to resurrect the Third Reich.

The War on Snowden Continues as Does NSA Spying

Given the amount of coverage churned out by the sycophantic gravy trainers in the US state-corporate media about the latest Republican Benghazi spectacle, the 24/7 Putin bashing, missing flight MH-370 and assorted celebrity driven swill the biggest story of the last year has been buried int he bullshit. The story of course are the startling revelations of former government contractor turned NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden of the massive domestic surveillance and data-mining programs being conducted against tens of millions of law-abiding Americans. Outside of the random drive by denunciations of Snowden as a "traitor" by the criminal political class there has been an absence of the sort of breaking stories of unconstitutional malevolence by the American Stasi, most of them the work of the award winning journalist Glenn Greenwald. That is about to change as Mr. Greenwald's long awaited book on Snowden and the NSA entitled "No Place to Hide" is due to come out on Tuesday.

Therefore the uptick in smearing Snowden is a predictable response by the rogue state and its foreign partners in crime and I have no doubt that this weekend's Sunday morning bloviation circuit will be filled with the most vile freaks that the US political system has to offer with all of them peddling the usual unproven horseshit that Snowden is a Russian spy. The point man in the coming attack is former NSA commandant General Keith Alexander, the man with the Star Trek fetish and a seething contempt for the US Constitution.  The now retired Alexander, who has previously called for the control and censorship of the media (and these pigs call Putin an authoritarian?) surfaced in an extended interview for the Australian Financial Review to launch the line of attack that Mr. Snowden is being manipulated by Russian intelligence. It is never mentioned thought that Snowden only ended up in Russia because the freedom loving Obama administration revoked his passport and was closing in on the man for one of those now as American as apple pie extraordinary renditions. Snowden fled Hong Kong and was holed up in Moscow's airport transit area for weeks until the demonized Russian leader offered him temporary asylum.

Rather than attempt to pick through Alexander's hogwash myself I excerpt from the fine piece on the Australian interview done by Greenwald over at The Intercept entitled "Keith Alexander Unplugged: on Bush/Obama, 1.7 million stolen documents and other matters":

The just-retired long-time NSA chief, Gen. Keith Alexander, recently traveled to Australia to give a remarkably long and wide-ranging interview with an extremely sycophantic “interviewer” with The Australian Financial Review. The resulting 17,000-word transcript and accompanying article form a model of uncritical stenography journalism, but Alexander clearly chose to do this because he is angry, resentful, and feeling unfairly treated, and the result is a pile of quotes that are worth examining, only a few of which are noted below:

AFR: What were the key differences for you as director of NSA serving under presidents Bush and Obama? Did you have a preferred commander in chief?

Gen. Alexander: Obviously they come from different parties, they view things differently, but when it comes to the security of the nation and making those decisions about how to protect our nation, what we need to do to defend it, they are, ironically, very close to the same point. You would get almost the same decision from both of them on key questions about how to defend our nation from terrorists and other threats.

The almost-complete continuity between George W. Bush and Barack Obama on such matters has been explained by far too many senior officials in both parties, and has been amply documented in far too many venues, to make it newsworthy when it happens again. Still, the fact that one of the nation’s most powerful generals in history, who has no incentive to say it unless it were true, just comes right out and states that Bush and The Candidate of Change are “very close to the same point” and “you would get almost the same decision from both of them on key questions” is a fine commentary on a number of things, including how adept the 2008 Obama team was at the art of branding.

The fact that Obama, in 2008, specifically vowed to his followers angered over his campaign-season NSA reversal that he possessed “the firm intention — once I’m sworn in as president — to have my Attorney General conduct a comprehensive review of all our surveillance programs, and to make further recommendations on any steps needed to preserve civil liberties and to prevent executive branch abuse in the future” only makes that point a bit more vivid.

This underlines a point that I have spent endless hours of frustration attempting to convince my liberal friends of in that Obama is simply a more refined extension of Bush and that in reality very little has actually changed - except for the worse - since the pope of hope was elected. The warrantless surveillance continues, the Wall Street gamblers and connected corporate parasites continue to feed at the taxpayer funded trough, our civil liberties continue to be diminished and the war machine keeps running. Then there is also Obama's escalation of the drone assassination programs, the precedent set for the extrajudicial killing of a US citizen and not even Bush would be so vile as to not speak out in condemnation of that atrocity that took place in Odessa last week where US backed neo-Nazi militias ambushed and slaughtered a yet to be determined number of anti-austerity protesters then set the trade union hall in which it took place on fire.

I look forward to the Tuesday release of the Greenwald book once again putting a spotlight on the cockroaches at the mammoth nest in Fort Meade and the scumbags in Washington who provide cover for this most un-American of agencies and its ongoing fascist conduct.

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.
