Violence Looms: CIA Head John Brennan Goes to Ukraine

With the bloody and violent crackdown coming in Ukraine to crush resistance to the illegally installed coup regime of  Arseniy “Yats” Yatsenyuk it is of no small consequence that Barack Obama's CIA director John Brennan visited Kiev over the weekend.  This is of course apropos as the Central Intelligence Agency, long the preeminent terrorist organization in the planet is expert when it comes to the installation and backing of non-democratically elected puppet governments hostile to freedom and friendly to US Deep State interests. Brennan was a particularly good choice for Obama to dispatch, given that that the CIA boss is a veteran of the Bush regime torture programs that the agency along with El Presidente are now desperately trying to keep secret despite ongoing pressure from non other than top NSA Stasi defender Dianne Feinstein. Brennan, much like former Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Victoria "Fuck the EU" Nuland who helped to start the mess in Ukraine and is a former Dick Cheney aide. The Brennan visit shows that Obama and his merry band of neocon pirates are "all-in" when it comes to this latest foreign policy disaster, one that could have very serious consequences in that each US provocation and lie leads closer to a confrontation with Russia.

The US media propaganda machine is sticking to the story that they have been hammering for months now, that all of this is Russian president Vladimir Putin's fault and in the case of the Democrats and their toadies and shills, like the increasingly loathsome MSNBC propaganda princess Rachel Maddow, taking the occasional break from the bell to bell Chris Christie coverage mixes the vilification of Putin with blaming George W. Bush for the whole mess.  The entire operation of smearing Putin, a very well coordinated and a damning indictment that the big media in America are no longer any thing other than shills for the establishment and the policies of Empire is retaliation for blowing up the neocon's late summer war on Syria - a prevention of another Middle East disaster in which Putin himself pulled Obama's ass out of the fire after his moronic "red line" proclamation. We to this day do not know exactly who it was that was behind those sarin gas attacks in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta but it was yet another war based on false pretenses just like Saddam's WMD - legendary investigative journalist Seymour Hersh just published a piece in the London Review of Books entitled "The Red Line and the Rat Line" that suggests that the gassings were a Turkish false flag operation. The intervention by Putin to stop the "monster strike" on Syria that was being prepared per Hersh immediately sent the neocons into a frenzied state and looking for revenge. It was no coincidence that the head of the National Endowment for Democracy, which exists to destabilize foreign governments published an op ed in the Washington Post for a tougher stance against Putin Ukraine. 

As matters continue to deteriorate and the death squads are being prepped, their wetwork happens to coincide with the holy week from Palm Sunday to Easter which will only further inflame the resistance Brennan's presence was not one made as a man of peace. The increasingly cornered and constantly humiliated Obama is once again coming out on the losing end of the dick measuring contest with Putin and according to Reuters engaged the Russian leader in an angry telephone call on Monday from which I excerpt:

Obama spoke to Putin at the Russians' request, a senior administration official said, describing the call as "frank and direct," a diplomatic construction that usually means tense.

"The president made clear that the diplomatic path was open and our preferred way ahead, but that Russia's actions are neither consistent with or conducive to that," the official said.

Obama told Putin that Kiev had made "real offers" to address concerns about the decentralization of powers to local governments in the country.

 "That is a matter for Ukrainians to decide," the official said. "We have always and will continue to support an inclusive process."

 Earlier, U.S. officials stopped short of announcing a new set of sanctions against Russia but said they were in consultations with European partners about the prospect.

 The European Union agreed on Monday to step up sanctions against Moscow by expanding a list of people subjected to asset freezes and visa bans.

 "Russia continues to engage in provocative actions in eastern Ukraine. The mere presence of the troops, in addition to what else they've done inside Ukraine, creates a threat of destabilization within Ukraine," White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters.

 "I can assure you that Russia's provocations - further transgressions and provocations will come with a cost. And I'm not here to specify what cost will come from which specific action, but there have already been costs imposed on Russia; there will be further costs imposed on Russia."

The endless threats of sanctions, likely while more aggressive actions are prepared which Brennan's visit seems to indicate is in process are an act of war against Russia. When the US-NATO goon squads join forces with neo-Nazis, fanatics such as Pravy Sektor, mercenaries and neo-Nazis to engage Eastern Ukrainian resistance to the illegitimate austerity government in Kiev - coming soon, maybe even today. The Russians may have no choice but to send forces across the border to prevent the slaughter. This will only play into the hands of the neocons who will then have their provoked incident and an excuse to begin the war that may end up being the last one for the rogue state in The Homeland. Putin can't be blamed for this fiasco, it is all on Barry and Kerry and their entrenched army of neocon holdovers from the Bushreich. 

There is nothing quite like the smell of desperation in an election year and it is rolling out of The White House in waves as Obama's administration is doing the unthinkable and careening recklessly towards irreversible damage and a potential world war. Even Bush had the sense to take his foot off of the gas and put ground between himself and the deranged neocons but I just can't see the current narcissist in chief as capable of anything but disaster on a grand scale.  

Obama Goes into C.Y.A. Mode after Kerry's Rhetorical Blunder

During his six interview public relations blitz on Monday Barack Hussein Obama took advantage of a “breakthrough” in the ongoing media promoted Syria crisis to cover his own ass.  With public opinion polls showing a majority of Americans opposed to this latest idiotic and most ill-advised war of all the pope of hope capitalized on a John Kerry blunder. The Secretary of Skull and Bones provided the surprise out when he stated that the Assad regime could simply turn over all of the chemical weapons to an internationally neutral party to avoid war. The hated Russia rapidly moved to get their man in Damascus, Bashar Al-Assad to agree with their using Kerry’s opening to ride to the rescue, for the time not only preventing WW III but managing to look more rational and democratic than the fascist ruled U.S.  The entire scenario was made possible when the loutish buffoon Kerry developed one of his trademark cases of diarrhea of the mouth. During his wall to wall sales pitch for bogus secret intelligence on that affixed the Assad regime with complete responsibility for the Ghouta gas attack, he let slip that such a move would by Assad would be a game changer. His exact and widely mocked dialogue that turned him and his boss into Putin’s bitches for the second time in less than two months was – “Sure, he could turn over every bit of his weapons to the international community within the next week, without delay,” “But he isn’t about to.” The savvy Russians and Syria jumped on it like starved pitbulls advancing on a cornered rat and Barry had to put his missiles away – for the time being that is. The behind the scenes work by the war machine continues.

It is nice to see the liar Kerry hoisted on his own petard. His hypocrisy on this new war  turns his famous and phony Vietnam statement on its head by pushing to be the one who would ensure that some poor bastard will be the first one to die for a mistake. Even as Barry dances a dervish of spin in front of a national audience  Kerry is backing off his words, stating that it was only a “rhetorical” statement and not an actual condition of hitting the brakes on WW III. Obama must be delighted in that now he has a chance to save face by appearing to be a man of reason and just postpone the attack for awhile until either Syria is unable to comply within the given time frame to disarm or another chemical attack of dubious origin magically occurs to bolster the case. It is Saddam 101 taken right out of the playbook of Bush and Cheney’s neocon regime. Just use the extra time to move the goalposts so far out of Syrian range that there will be no way on God’s green earth that they can be met and hope for another mysterious gas attack on women and children. Am I Cynical?  Yes but the bastards who run this place are the most cynical creatures on two legs led by the hyena in chief himself. I am but an amateur.

So tonight will the much-awaited national address by El Presidente and there will most certainly be talk of weapons of mass destruction and inevitable references to September 11, 2001 as today is after all the eve of the twelfth anniversary of the granddaddy of all ‘terrorist’ attacks that became the lynchpin for our star-spangled police state. 9/11 is the event that forever changed America and changed it for the absolute worst. Every insane transgression against civil liberties has been undertaken because of the elite’s exploitation of that tragedy to reinforce their own positions of privilege as well as to create an impenetrable bulwark between us and them. It has been twelve years of dumbness, fear, rancor, racism, religious intolerance, government spying, corporate cronyism, war, gun-grabbing, political corruption and the government extraction of tax payer money to pay for their own enslavement by an out of control national security state that has made trillions since that day. Mr. Obama will be the latest to wantonly abuse it for political gain as he delivers his stemwinder tonight, patting himself on the back for avoiding an immediate war on Syria while facilitating those who are now putting into place the impossible conditions upon which Assad will soon be crucified upon.

In a side note Obama’s likely successor Hillary Clinton is revved up for war and ready for the U.S. war machine to kick ass and take names. For now Barry has once again emerged as the Teflon coated snake oil salesman that he always has been and dodges accountability for his enormously stupid “red line” ultimatum. But like a predatory animal laying low in the weeds he will bide his time and go for the kill as soon as the coast is clear for him to burnish his elite credentials and bask in the glory of being a war president.

Common Sense: Obama Flack's Condescending Pitch for War

With still absolutely zero proof that the regime of Syrian Bashar Al-Assad ordered the Ghouta gassing the hucksters in the Obama administration are now descending into the territory normally inhabited by used car salesmen.  Barry’s Chief of Staff Denis McDonough made the rounds on the Sunday morning bloviation circuit to pimp the coming unprovoked attack on Syria. In a storming of the sets of all five major talking head shows it was a feat of McCainesque proportions and a triumph to the ability of the fascist warfare state to splice modern technology with a Joseph Goebbels style message. With the war pornography of convulsing kiddies in excruciating agony already being promoted by CNN to manufacture consent in order to break down the defenses of many minds with pure, raw emotion the playing field was in essence prepped. Now it is time for the Obama game of thrones to demonstrate his power as a real, live war president.

It was during the McDonough Sunday whirlwind that the latest in the line of shifting rationales for Obama and Kerry’s attack was floated as a trial balloon. You see, hissed McDonough, his serpentine tongue flickering, the war can be justified if Americans would only apply the “common sense test” in order to to firmly affix the devil horns onto Assad. Just eat your broccoli like good children, shut up and trust us. This evil man is gassing his own people, just like Saddam did to Iranians with the full backing of the U.S. Notably, a story in the Sunday edition of the  New York Times despite blaming Syria’s compiling of chemicals on “Iran” and “Russia”, what should have been the lead was buried in that the story acknowledges that “some of the chemicals came from Western European suppliers and even a handful of American companies”.  This of course did not make it into McDonough’s talking points which should surprise nobody who understands the big con that is being played now.

So this is what it now comes down to in our sad state of  deteriorating Idiocracy in that the flouting of international law, defying the will of the American people and potentially starting WW III no longer even merits any actual proof. In addition to the dispensing of easily digestible lemming food by Mr. McDonough the rationale for this disaster in the making is also shifting now.  It isn’t even so much the twitching, gasping babies anymore that calls for a shock and awe response – it is tosend a message to Iran.  Now that the cat has been let out of the bag it is only more despicable and criminal for this grotesque perversion of an administration to continue to push the preposterous folderol of the chemical weapons attack on Syrian civilians as justification for war. It has all been preordained, the Project for the New American Century (PNAC)  is back on again after a four year interregnum. The first term of Barack H. Obama was all stagecraft, an elaborate hoax to fumigate the stench of Bush-Cheney and to put a friendly face on the same bloody imperialism that can only end in world conquest or world destruction. The Fozzie Bear fascism of Obama is exactly that, the proverbial iron fist was only concealed in a velvet glove but when it comes to the slaughter of innocents there is no difference, in the end they are just as dead. A statement that can also be used in regards to the still undetermined number of victims of the Ghouta gassing, are they really any more dead than if they were just so much “collateral damage” from one of Obama’s drone strikes or from Bush’s bombs and white phosphorous?

So we all wait with baited breath as Barry’s crackerjack team of liars, spin doctors and technicians  diligentlywork to put together tomorrow night’s teleprompter fodder. There are far too many who need no convincing whatsoever. The liberal apologist O-Bots, the misguided identity based groups who have been convinced that Obama has their back and the low information news consumer who wallows in state propaganda and wears his/her willful ignorance on their sleeve as though it were a badge of honor. There are those who are sick and tired  of war and want the government to fix what is wrong in America but they will be quickly and efficiently marginalized once the great dictator has spoken and his media smear machine does the rest. Congress? Please. A gaggle of contemptibly corrupt swine with closets chock a block full of skeletons and huge files aplenty in the archives of the NSA Stasi will rubberstamp Obama’s war with a resounding cadence of hundreds of jackboots stomping in unison.

The impeachment proceedings for Barry and the accompanying war crimes trials for the bitches and bastards in his administration cannot begin soon enough. The Hague will have to open another wing for these swine.
