Media Snoozes as Putin Warns: "West is Provoking World War"

October 23, 2015

 

A measure of our mental bondage: A smattering of biased coverage of  Putin's speech Thursday in The Guardian, WSJ and Reuters but nothing more, and nothing on US TV networks.

Putin says Iran was just an excuse to alter the world balance of power by placing so-called defensive ballistic missiles in Europe. 

"To put it plainly, they (US,EU) were lying. It was not about the hypothetical Iranian threat, which never existed. It was about an attempt to destroy the strategic balance, to change the balance of forces in their favour not only to dominate, but to have the opportunity to dictate their will to all: to their geopolitical competition and, I believe, to their allies as well. This is a very dangerous scenario, harmful to all, including, in my opinion, to the United States."

Western media doesn't want the public to know the true belligerent and mendacious character of our so-called "leaders."

As always, the Kremlin translation service is pathetically slow in translating Putin's speeches.  In the first half already published, there are some amazingly blunt statements by Putin.  See for yourself:

"Today, unfortunately, we have again come across similar situations. Attempts to promote a model of unilateral domination, as I have said on numerous occasions, have led to an imbalance in the system of international law and global regulation, which means there is a threat, and political, economic or military competition may get out of control.

What, for instance, could such uncontrolled competition mean for international security? A growing number of regional conflicts, especially in 'border' areas, where the interests of major nations or blocs meet. This can also lead to the probable downfall of the system of non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (which I also consider to be very dangerous), which, in turn, would result in a new spiral of the arms race.

We have already seen the appearance of the concept of the so-called disarming first strike, including one with the use of high-precision long-range non-nuclear weapons comparable in their effect to nuclear weapons.

The use of the threat of a nuclear missile attack from Iran as an excuse, as we know, has destroyed the fundamental basis of modern international security - the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. The United States has unilaterally seceded from the treaty. Incidentally, today we have resolved the Iranian issue and there is no threat from Iran and never has been, just as we said.

The thing that seemed to have led our American partners to build an anti-missile defence system is gone. It would be reasonable to expect work to develop the US anti-missile defence system to come to an end as well. What is actually happening? Nothing of the kind, or actually the opposite - everything continues.

Recently the United States conducted the first test of the anti-missile defence system in Europe. What does this mean? It means we were right when we argued with our American partners. They were simply trying yet again to mislead us and the whole world. To put it plainly, they were lying. It was not about the hypothetical Iranian threat, which never existed. It was about an attempt to destroy the strategic balance, to change the balance of forces in their favour not only to dominate, but to have the opportunity to dictate their will to all: to their geopolitical competition and, I believe, to their allies as well. This is a very dangerous scenario, harmful to all, including, in my opinion, to the United States."

Putin also focused on the way the Americans treat their own so-called "allies"

"Unfortunately, military terminology is becoming part of everyday life. Thus, trade and sanctions wars have become today's global economic reality - this has become a set phrase used by the media. The sanctions, meanwhile, are often used also as an instrument of unfair competition to put pressure on or completely 'throw' competition out of the market. As an example, I could take the outright epidemic of fines imposed on companies, including European ones, by the United States. Flimsy pretexts are being used, and all those who dare violate the unilateral American sanctions are severely punished.

You know, this may not be Russia's business, but this is a discussion club, therefore I will ask: Is that the way one treats allies? No, this is how one treats vassals who dare act as they wish - they are punished for misbehaving."

Very powerful words, no? But most Westerners are not allowed to hear them.

I'm very much afraid that Putin does not understand the banking cabal (hopefully, he's too smart to have thrown in with them) and therefore he does not realize that the U.S. military is simply the kneecapper for the City of London Rothschild cabal, the U.S. Federal Reserve being just a franchise of that cabal which, therefore, literally owns the U.S. as well as the rest of the "west."  

But there is no denying that he has no fear of the so-called "world powers" as he simply describes them as they are in no uncertain terms.  What a breath of fresh air.

The Valdai International Discussion Club * is a summit meeting of 'high initiates' from all the Globalist's think tanks in the world.  It's an NGO (non governmental organization) launched in 2004 but it's the intelligencia arm of the The Council on Foreign and Defence Policy (CFDP), a Russian NGO founded during the Boris Yeltsin years in 1992.   The name 'Valdai' was simply the location of the first conference in 2004.   

Most of the names on the roster of 800+ attendees of the Valdai International conferences you'll find on the lists of the 
Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderberg Group.   
Think about that. 

FLASHBACK to 2012 - Check out this headline from the American University of Moscow. This was while Americans were preparing to re-elect Obama during October 2012:

'Friendly Foes: U.S.-Russia military relations soaring' - "The U.S. military interacts almost daily with Russian forces -- in training, exercising, building personal relationships, and performing real-world national security missions side-by-side. According to Montgomery, things have never been better between the old Cold War foes."
 
"We did about 50 events last year, and this year we've already accomplished more than that. I imagine we'll be somewhere north of 70 events by the end of the year. So, a very robust, cooperative effort between our militaries," Montgomery said."

OUR problem - the public - is that the collective memory of events is less than two years.  In fact millions of us can't remember news events longer than two months.   That's why the aggregate public can't connect dots.   

The depth and consistency of high level cooperation of the Russian military and private sectors seem dissonant with the rhetoric now coming from Putin and the US State Department.

Scruples - the game of moral dillemas

Does Putin have a script, a good guy script from the Cabal? Or is he what the Cabal most fears?

"To mulitply to such an extent national failings, habits, conditions of civil life that it will be impossible for anyone to know where he is in the resulting chaos, so that the people in consequence will fail to understand one another. This measure will also serve us in another way, namely to sow discord in all parties, to dislocate all collective forces that are unwilling to stand with us and to discourage any kind of personal initiative that might in any way hinder our affair. THERE IS NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS THAN PERSONAL INITIATIVE: if it has genius behind it, such initiative can do more than can be done among millions of people among whom we have sown discord. We must so direct the education of the goyim that whenever they come upon a matter requiring initiative they drop their hands in despairing impotence." Protocols of Zion 5.11.

I guess the question I am trying to ask is: Has someone (like Yuri Bezmenov, for example) come up through the KGB ranks, highly trained in espionage, terror, counter terror and subversion recovered from de-moralisation and changed course. In touch with the Russian Orthodox spiritual tradition of his Motherland and for the love of his own Russian people, has Putin cut loose from the Cabal. He has the power yes, but is that power in the hands of an actor with a script and a handler or is it in the hands of someone who is going to exercise against the many vectors of the Marxist Leninist praxis of the Cabal? and for Russia as a nation and as spiritual patrimony that is in sympathy with all men: the Russian soul? This is the great subject matter of Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Pushkin as does Solzhenitsyn.

Al Thompson said (October 23, 2015):

It is interesting that when I hear Vladimir Putin speak, I get the feeling that I am actually learning something. He speaks perspicuously and he gets to the point. His main point about the US and EU lying is spot on. The lie is the main tool of modern government. They can't say anything clearly because they don't want to truth to get out. I'm not a person to study foreign policy because I doubt that I would understand it. Not because I'm stupid, but because I doubt I would be getting the truth in order to make an intelligent decision. This is the problem with lying. One can never trust the words of a govtard from the US or EU because they are chronic liars.

Still, the main problem with government is the use of the communist system. This has to be completely dismantled in order to have a prosperous society. I would have more respect for Putin if he would simply take down every plank of the Communist Manifesto and establish a better system of government. A benevolent dictatorship would be better than the communist garbage we have now.

As it stands, watching the inner actions of government is like watching a bunch of street gangs killing each other. The end result of this is always the same. Putin is a very interesting man. I might suggest that he eliminates interest and usury, income tax, and establish a sound banking system with competing currencies. Russia's economy would take off like a rocket while the rest of the communist countries will wallow in their ineffective socialism; and that would include Canada and the United States.
