Marcus King - The War Against Putin

“I do not believe that Russia and China are paying any price at all for standing up nothing at all — for standing up on behalf of the Assad regime (Syria). The only way that will change is if every nation represented here directly and urgently makes that Russia and China will pay a price .” {132} 132 Search Term: Hillary, Russia and China will pay (emphasis added)

It is only the magical alchemy of the news media’s illusion makers that has transformed peaceful Russia into a “threat to world peace”; nothing more. In recent years, Hollywood and the New York ad agencies have also joined the propaganda blitz, albeit in very subtle way.

In 2013, the long dead genre of anti-Soviet dramas returned with the FX (FOX affiliate) series The Americans ; produced by an actual “retired” CIA agent, Joe Weisberg. {133} 133 Search Term: Joel Weisberg, FX the Americans CIA

On Super Bowl Sunday of 2014, a comical M&M’s candy commercial featured murderous Russian gangsters threatening to cut up and eat the giant “living” M&M which they had kidnapped and thrown into the truck of a car.

In March of 2014, the latest ‘ Muppets ’ Movie featured a nose-picking Russian villain (Kermit the Frog’s evil “look alike”, Constantine) , and Tina Fey as a stern Russian camp guard in a Siberian Gulag. That same month saw the re-release of the old anti-Soviet comic book, Rocky & Bullwinkle . Can the return of the classic Cold War era TV cartoon be far behind?

In 2015, a movie about the Russian monk Rasputin (another long dead genre) is due to be released. Super star Leonardo Dicaprio will play the part of the bizarre mystic who so enthralled the last Czarina, Aleksandra.

This subtle drip-drip campaign, though seemingly fun and harmless on its face, is indeed penetrating the public mind. The most effective forms of marketing are those which influence your subconscious perceptions without you even realizing it. The masters of manipulation know all too well how to control our buying habits; and they want us to buy into the related ideas of anti-Putinism, anti-Russianism and maybe, just maybe, World War III.

Farfetched you say? Wait until you read the next chapter.

By 2010, Ukraine’s phony NGO ‘Orange Revolution” (from 2014) had been democratically reversed. The new President, Victor Yanukovich, wanted to maintain good relations with both the European Union and with Russia. In November of 2013, Yanukovich announced that he would no longer seek to integrate (hand over) Ukraine to the EU. In an instant, “spontaneous” rent-a-mobs gathered in Capital City Kiev’s Main Square, known as the Maidan (pronounced May-Don) . Out of nowhere came the professionally made banners, massive EU flags, English language placards, Guy Fawkes masks etc.

The NGO protesters (some of whom were alleged to have been bused in from other European countries) demanded that Yanukovich reverse his course and return Ukraine towards the path of EU membership. It bears mentioning at this point that most of Western Ukraine leans westward (partially for historical reasons, partly due to empty promises of prosperity to follow EU membership, and partially due to years of nasty anti Russian NGO propaganda) . In contrast, most of better developed, Russian speaking Eastern Ukraine leans eastward, towards their Russian brothers. Nowhere is the affinity more deeply rooted that in the overwhelmingly pro-Russian peninsula of Crimea which, as we discussed earlier, had always been part of Russia itself until Khrushchev internally reassigned it within the old Soviet Union.

As these “revolutions” go, the mobs began to stir more and more each passing day. Feeding the developing frenzy were Western politicians who arrived in Kiev to foment chaos. Foremost among the interlopers was Putin’s hatful adversary, Senator John McCain. In December of 2013, McCain took to the outdoor microphone and fired up the roaring mob:

“To all Ukrainians, America stands with you. People of Ukraine this is your moment. This is about you; no one else. This is about the future you want for your country. This is about the future you deserve. A future in Europe, a future of peace… The free world is with you, America is with you, I am with you.” {134} 134 Search Term: McCain to all Ukrainians, America stands with you

Translation: “Rise up and violently overthrow that pro Russian bastard Yanukovich. America and Europe have got your back. Do it!” (author’s words; not McCain’s)

Also travelling to Ukraine was Victoria Nuland (Nudelman) , the Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs. Though her name is not well known and her title may not sound so impressive, Nuland, in the power scheme of things, outranks even John McCain. She is the wife of neo-con luminary Robert Kagan of the PNAC Group we visited about earlier (“new Pearl Harbor”) . Thanks to a secretly taped phone conversation (likely engineered by the Russians) , we now know that it was Nuland herself that literally handpicked the Ukrainian puppet who went on to eventually replace Yanukovich in March of 2014. {135} 135 Search Term: Nuland phone call Yats

With the protests raging, Nuland spoke at a “Ukraine in Washington” conference in December of 2013. In her own words, she revealed Washington’s scheme to provide funding in order to install ’a good form of democracy’ . From the horses’ own mouth:

“Since Ukraine’s independence in 1991, the United States has supported Ukrainians as they build democratic skills and institutions, as they promote civic participation and good governance, all of which are preconditions for Ukraine to achieve its European aspirations. We’ve invested over $5 billion to assist Ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic Ukraine.” {136} 136 Search Term: We’ve invested over $5 billion to assist Ukraine (emphasis added)

In a poor nation like Ukraine, five billion dollars buys a lot of anti-Russian propaganda, as well as “peaceful protesters”, eh Vicky? And it also pays for those cookies and coffee which Nuland so graciously handed out to her Ukrainian “employees” as US Network Nightly News cameras rolled.

By March of 2014, the combination of legitimate grievances against the inept Yanukovich, the instigation of McCain & Nuland, and the encouragement given by Ukrainian “opposition leaders”, had brought the resilient mob to a fever pitch. All that was needed to spark the violence was for the embedded agent provocateurs and foreign mercenaries to light the fuse!

When the Molotov cocktails and rocks started flying, the timid and inept President Yanukovich lined up his riot police. Although the helmeted police did nothing but essentially just stand in a line while being bludgeoned and burned, Western press and politicians began screaming about a “bloody crackdown”. Yanukovich made concession after concession to the phony revolutionaries and the “opposition political Parties”; including an agreement to invite them into his government and hold early elections. The whole time, riot police continued to treat the violent attackers with kid gloves.
