Ukraine and the Presstitute Media 

Fig leave for an Emperor without cloths

By Peter Koenig

March 06, 2014 "Information Clearing House - I love it!

The emperor without clothes dares rattling its toothless sabers. It would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad. – Sad, because the presstitute media has converted the western populace into mindless stooges, a brainwashed western population to the point of losing sense of reality, of right and wrong; blinded to the point of screaming into the bullhorn of Washington’s Assassin in Chief.

Their numbed minds can’t imagine a reverse scenario: Russia destabilizing, say Mexico in the emperor’s ‘backyard’ (as Obama is infamously known to call Latin America), to install a puppet government of their liking. – Imagine!

After spending US$ 5 billion – as per Madame Nuland’s bragging – to prepare Ukraine for Regime Change during the last 10 years, to remove a democratically elected government, Obama, the naked, shameless emperor dares warn Russia not to intervene in Ukraine, or else… and the spineless European puppets with the mighty NATO in their back are aping similar threats. – Hilarious!

Do they not know that Russia in solidarity and alliance with China have all the trumps in their court? – That Europe depends to 40% on gas supply from Russia, of which 80% passes through Ukraine; that China holds about 1.6 trillion dollars of US debt they could drop and annihilate the US economy; that Russia, China, India, Brazil and South Africa – the BRICS – with almost 50% of the planet’s population and about one third of the world’s GDP – do not need the Anglo-Saxon led Occident – do not need to even listen to impotent intimidations of sanctions? – What sanctions?

Who cares about American sanctions? – Nobody needs the hollow US economy whose only sustenance is constant wars. Not even the European puppets – not even the French boot-licker, Hollande. But of course, the corrupt and coward EU leaders are dreaming of collecting some crumbs of the empire’s loot.

Sanctions could easily come the other way – and eventually they will, salvaging the globe’s enslaved populations, when the BRICS issue their own currency – a sound and solid basket of their countries money and that of all those who are striving to associate with the BRICS, among them many energy producers – a new reserve currency, a solid alternative for the debt ridden mickey-mouse dollar.

Already today, angering Washington, the BRICS and associates have shed the dollar as currency of reference for international treaties, using instead their own national money.

At the international Energy summit last fall in South Korea, Russia’s representative has announced trading hydrocarbons in the near future in the countries’ own currencies – decoupling petrol and gas from the dollar. Many hydrocarbon producers today are just waiting for that day to come.

The presstitute media is silent about these developments to protect the false prestige of the decaying empire. But truth will prevail.

Back to Ukraine – isn’t a Russian intervention for its own national security (using America’s all justifying notorious slogan) protection from the Western installed fascist government a logical step?

If the people of Ukraine have not yet realized what economic mayhem would await them becoming a close ally of Europe, they may just look to Greece, where IMF and EU imposed privatization of public services and a burden of debt have turned the population into lasting enslavement.

In the Ukraine, a devastating free trade agreement (sic) and a burden of IMF and EU imposed debt to ‘restructure’ its economy, privatization and massive unemployment, would do likewise. If the people of Ukraine would see this coming, they would forever be grateful for Russian intervention.

Greece – it is not enough that the IMF and Germany have already encouraged Greece to ‘privatize’ its islands. Now under a dictate of the same IMF, international mining companies are allowed confiscating peasants’ land without compensation to suck the country empty of its remaining natural resources, under the pretext of Greece amortizing the ECB, EC and IMF imposed debt. As a side effect the mines will pollute surface and groundwater as well as the rich Aegean Sea, so that fishermen too will lose their livelihood.

That’s the world we are living in. The rest of us – all sense of solidarity lost – is watching the misery of our neighbors increase exponentially in speed and severity until it reaches our own shores and pockets, our own demise. By then it’s too late. The salami tactic has worked well. There is nothing left of the sausage. We have unwittingly self-destroyed by allowing to be pillaged by the elite of the One World Order.
