UPDATE: UKRAINE

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | March 30, 2015

The Western Press like to portray Russia as the aggressor in the Ukraine conflict but they leave out key information like the $ 5 billion the US CIA spent on a Gladio-style operations designed to destabilize the duly elected government of Ukraine and to effect regime change. Though Ukraine was ripe for destabilization, CIA-backed NGOs played a key role in this destabilization. They played on the hopes and dreams and fears of the Ukrainian peoples and set one faction against the other knowing full-well what they were doing. At stake here was the US Geopolitical Strategy set fourth by Zbigniew Brzezinski to encircle Russia and marginalize and contain Russia’s growing power and prestige in the world. Never mind the assurances the US gave Russia after the fall of the Berlin wall that NATO wouldn’t move one more inch further east. And of course the desire to keep Quigley’s Anglo-American Establishment dominant by stunting and punishing Russia. Also at stake was the plunder of natural resources of Ukraine by the IMF whose method of operation is to burden countries with debt and then move in to ‘asset-strip‘ the targeted country; in this case Ukraine. The IMF’s detailed method can be found here: Who the International Aid Agencies Serve. Without an understanding of the history and geography of Ukraine the Western public are easy prey for Western propaganda. The US public would be horrified if they were to learn that the US is backing the neo-nazis in Ukraine and that their tax dollars were being used to slaughter men, women and children all across the Donbass area just to please Mr. Global. Below, I’ve supplied a few key articles to put this conflict in perspective. (Click to enlarge picture below)

Western news outlets have been incessantly attempting to portray Russia as the belligerent power over the past year, even though many of the facts contradict this perspective. In order to justify an illegal coup in Kiev – which is part of a grander strategy of destabilizing, encircling and antagonizing the Russian Federation – the presstitutes are hard at work manufacturing narratives and preparing “Americans for conflict with Russia”, as Dr. Paul Craig Roberts wrote in his article: ‘CNN is Beating the Drums of War’.

IMF Asset-Stripping Kiev:

Kiev Commits Energy Hari Kiri
02.04.2015 Author: F. William Engdahl

“What the insane Washington-orchestrated civil war in Ukraine has not yet destroyed in Ukraine over the past year, now the conditions demanded by the US Treasury-controlled International Monetary Fund will. Kiev on March 13 received the first $5 billion tranche of a $17.5 billion three year IMF loan. It desperately needs the cash to avoid insolvency. However, in typical IMF policy, the aim of the money is to act as a poisoned “carrot” to force the victim country to undertake draconian “reforms” whose only effect will be to open the doors to foreign banks and multinationals to further rape and plunder what’s left of their economy. Now Kiev is about to commit energy Hari-Kiri to please the IMF and the US-imposed American-born Finance Minister, Natalie Ann Jaresko.

Before the US coup d’etat on February 22, 2014 in Kiev ousting a democratically-elected Prsident Viktor Yanukovich with aid of CIA snipers, self-styled neo-nazi Pravy Sektor gangsters and George Soros’ Ukrainian NGO, Ukraine’s president had opted to join the Russia-led Eurasian Economic Union in return for generous financial loans from Moscow and a huge cut over 30% in the price the country must pay to Russia’s Gazprom to import natural gas. Yanukovich stressed at the time he wanted to continue a dialogue on closer association with the EU as well. For the neo-conservative war faction in the Obama Administration that was a no! no! Washington wanted to destroy Russia and Putin and the way to do that, the ridiculous neo-conservatives such as John Brennan at CIA or Victoria ‘Fuck the EU’ Nuland at the State Department or Joe Biden or Senator John McCain saw it, was creating a pro-NATO coup in Kiev after a similar US Color Revolution in 2004 failed to achieve the goal.”

While our geopolitical geniuses at the Pentagon make their geopolitical plans irrespective of the lives impacted or the murders committed in our name, there is real human tragedy as a result which creates the most bitter anger and hatred that cannot be satisfied without justice (see picture and comment below). This is what the USA and its lapdog press are doing in the Ukraine. You may pretend you don’t know about this but your tax dollars and your willful ignorance are paying for all of this. It is a documented fact that the US instigated a violent overthrow of the democratically elected government in Ukraine spending over $5 billion of your tax dollars as a result. Documented and admitted to. The US with your tax dollars has replaced the democratically elected government in Ukraine with neo-nazis who have slaughtered countless men, woman and children all across the Ukraine. The MSM and the US Government are covering up these easily provable and documented facts.

“Westerners, you crossed the fucking line. Prepare yourselves for war. For real war. Are you ready for that? Actually, we do not give a shit about this. We are ready for war – and we will teach you (in hard way) how bad is war – like in the WW2. History is repeating itself. Sad, but true…” –Светлозар Радев

America: The Greatest Force for Good?

5 Replies

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | March 29, 2015

I use to believe that despite America’s many mistakes, that fundamentally she was a good country. I use to believe the history I learned in America’s state controlled class rooms. I use to believe that our armed forces were fighting to protect us and to spread democracy. But then 9/11 happened and the war on terror was launched to protect Americans from these very evil and bad people… so I started paying attention. I noticed that despite our war on terror, the US Federal government encouraged open borders and didn’t seem to care to discover who came or who left the country. Could another terrorist get in? I then discovered that 15 of the 19 so called hijackers were from America’s ally Saudi Arabia, yet we attacked Iraq and Afghanistan neither of whom attacked us. I was told that an evil group called Al-Qaeda were behind the attack on 9/11, but then I discovered that Al-Qaeda was created by our own CIA and that we gave $3 billion to its leader Osama bin Laden to fight the Russians in Afghanistan. The more I read, the more I double and triple-checked my fact-checking of the information of the official 9/11 story. The more I fact-checked and read, the more I realized that the official story was not even physically possible; yet the official story was told over and over again in our media. So I continued to read and I discovered that the 9/11 story wasn’t the first time our government and media lied to us. They lied to get us into the Vietnam War which cost the lives of over 58,000 of my fellow Americans and over 3 million innocent men, woman and children in the countries we bombed and sprayed with Agent Orange. All of this was based on lies by the US Government and supported by the establishment media which owned the TV content I dutifully watched every day to stay informed.

Since these more innocent times, I have discovered an even bigger story. That not only does the government and the media routinely lie to the American people, they are controlled and managed by a handful of corporations who have interlocking board of directors who also benefit financially from the many wars and resultant human tragedies this institutionalized murder and mayhem produce. I discovered that America and the grand ideals America represented in my mind has been captured by a small group of individuals and is used not to spread goodness and democracy but rather the opposite. This is not an opinion, but a demonstrable fact.

So here I sit today, realizing the sad truth that America is not the greatest force for good in the world but rather the greatest force for evil.

“The September 11 attack on America was planned, coordinated, and carried out under the watchful eyes and with the helpful assistance of top officials in the FBI, CIA, and Bush Administration–officials who did everything in their power to insure that the operation would be a spectacular triumph unequaled in the world of terrorism and political opportunism.” — R.

David Brown’s Stack of Stuff 002

George Friedman, “Europe: Destined for Conflict?”

2 Replies

Excellent speech by George Friedman (below) given at the Chicago Council of Global Affairs. Mr. Friedman reveals many overlooked dynamics which can provide the listener deeper insight into the EU’s chances of success or failure, the rise of nationalism and the key role Germany will play. He underscores a key US strategy to keep Russia and Germany separate and in conflict, fearing a combination of Germany’s financial and technical strength combined with Russia’s vast resources and workforce would threaten the existing US hegemony.

Since Greece cannot pay their bills, Mr. Friedman postulates that Greece will eventually offer to pay some portion perhaps 60% in Greek drachma telling Germany to take it or leave it. They can have a partial payment or have zero and of course Germany will be forced to take this deal to get something and to keep the contagion from spreading to Portugal, Italy and Spain. Owing a lot of money, Mr. Friedman explains actually puts Greece in a more powerful position than Germany since Germany needs the EU to sustain its massive export business which represents 50% of its GDP of which 25% goes to the EU; and Greece at this point cannot pay its debts. He speaks to the long held hatreds and rivalries amongst the member states, the rise of nationalism and Europe’s history of settling their differences with bullets. Explaining the dynamics of Europe, the EU, Greece, Ukraine, Germany, the USA and Russia, he makes some interesting predictions based on his unique analysis.

Despite his apparent acceptance of US war propaganda, you can still benefit from his insightful and informative analysis. Of course you should know I can’t agree with some of the default positions of the sponsor (The Chicago Council on Global Affairs) regarding Russian aggression against Ukraine, and I would presume George Friedman shares this position with the Chicago Council though it was less clear from his speech.

As informed and thoughtful as Friedman is, he seems oblivious to the clandestine history and machinations of the CIA, USAID, Soros, etc. which is designed to destabilize targeted countries like Ukraine through so called ‘Color Revolutions’ using operation Gladio tactics informed by US Geopolitical Policies. He may be very aware that the US is the real culprit in the Ukraine conflict, but holding his cards close to the vest; otherwise, he wouldn’t be invited to speak at places like the Chicago Council. After all, we must blame what the US is doing in Ukraine on Putin to be accepted by the establishment. He seems to agree with the US’s foreign policy overall, but does warn that the US should only occupy nations by force as a last resort and never get into nation-building as in Iraq. Better that the US orchestrate fights and heighten divisions amongst power structures than get stuck in unwinnable, protracted conflicts. Despite my criticisms, and his obvious poor grasp of economics, I found his speech enlightening, brilliant and well worth the view.

Important to note: There is a history to Mr. Friedman’s company, Stratfor, that deserves additional attention, so I have added a link to the Stratfor email leaks below which reveal a murky side to Mr. Friedman and his company; but for now, sit back and enjoy his excellent, though myopic speech. Friedman’s company, Stratfor, had its emails leaked to the public by Jeremy Hammond via Wikileaks. Much condemning information was discovered as a result. Here is just one example:

From Wikipedia: “Some emails reveal that Stratfor had been partnering with Shea Morenz, a former Goldman Sachs director, along with other informants, in order to profit from what could be considered insider trading. Stratfor planned to use the intelligence it gathered in order to profit from trading in several worldwide markets. They created an offshore “share structure” known as “StratCap” during 2011, in order to avoid insider trading allegations. The offshore entity, set to launch operations in 2012, is outwardly independent of Stratfor, but CEO George Friedman told his employees that StratCap is secretly integrated with Stratfor.”

Jeremy Hammond is a political activist and computer hacker from Chicago. He was convicted and sentenced in November 2013 to 10 years in US Federal Prison for hacking the private intelligence firm Stratfor and releasing the leaks through the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks.

Russia’s Remarkable Renaissance (Engdahl)

Brilliant analysis from F. William Engdahl author of ‘A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order‘…. F. William Engdahl hits the nail squarely on the head with this insightful article on the current mood in the former Soviet Union. As America moves toward increased tyranny and corruption, Russia is experiencing a rebirth of truth and pride in the face of struggle, based on a clear recognition of the current threat from Washington and the reconciliation of their past mistakes. After the US coup in Ukraine, the Russian people see clearly Washington’s and its vassal states’ present geopolitical game, and have smartly chosen not to play. Washington may have grossly underestimated the strength, the understanding and intelligence of the Russian people who have had two revolutions stolen from them by the powers in Washington, D.C. that shouldn’t be: Once in 1917 after the 8 months of the provisional government wherein the Russian people –tired of tyranny– wanted a more libertarian structure, only to have it stolen by the manipulators of the Anglo-American Establishment; and now in the current era –after the fall of the Soviet Union– these same psychopathic, lecherous and criminal anti-human globalists are seeking to destroy any hope of freedom or prosperity for the Russian people and the world at large. I wish the Russian people well and hope that this time they can throw off the shackles of the Anglo-American Establishment and its corrupt, rigged money system.

America’s Dangerous Geopolitical Chess Game

1 Reply

David Brown

America is playing a dangerous geopolitical chess game with Russia. But for what purpose? What good can come from this direct challenge to Russia? America’s strategy reads like a playbook from PNAC, the Wolfowitz Doctrine, and Zbigniew Brzezinski’s ‘The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives‘. While the average American is busy working, paying taxes and taking care of their families, ‘the powers that shouldn’t be’ are busy plotting and planning their next global conquest. To be sure, this is not all America’s fault but rooted in Quigley’s Anglo-American Establishment‘s plan for a single world government; enabled and condoned by the globalists in Western Europe. The table —or in this case the geopolitical chessboard— has been set. What Russia will do to counteract this direct threat is the big question. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, America assured Russia that NATO forces would not move one inch further East. Russia relaxed and America lied. Russia is no longer relaxed and America’s grand scheme has been revealed to all with functioning brains and eyes to see. Unable to take care of her veterans of countless ‘kinetic military actions‘ or even to fix the potholes in the streets, America has decided rather to ramp up the goal of surrounding Russia and China to make real the psychopathic dreams of Wolfowitz and Brzezinski. What other conclusions can we reach after America’s orchestrated Ukraine putsch and the expansion of NATO forces on Russia’s doorstep? America, it seems, is itching for a war at any cost and to damage Russia. [Note: You can read much about this sorry history at ClearNFO by searching on the word ‘Ukraine’.] Is the plan to distract the world and the American people from the impending economic catastrophe — precipitated by unprecedented sovereign debt created out of thin air by the globalists– or does America really believe she can bludgeon Russia into submission and win anything worth having? History should have taught the Pentagon planners in Washington that Russia is no easy mark. It is my opinion that Russia will not be dragged quietly into the bloody nightmare of the Wolfowitz-Brzezinski doctrine. Review the facts presented below and make up your own mind.

U.S. Military Moves To Russian Borders For First Time Ever

From Willy Wimmer’s letter below … #9. North of Poland, it is important to maintain the complete control of entry from St. Petersburg to the Baltic Sea. [6] Thus this means to cut away Russia from its Baltic Sea connection and therefore to cut it off from Europe.

Mr Gerhard Schroeder, MP
Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany,
Federal Chancellery,
Schlossplatz 1, 10178 Berlin

Berlin, 05-02-2000

Dear Chancellor,

Last weekend, I was in the Slovakian capital of Bratislava, where I had the opportunity to participate in a conference jointly organized by the US State Department and the American Enterprise Institute (the institute of the Republican Party foreign policy) with focus on the themes of the Balkan and NATO enlargement.

The event was attended by high-ranking personalities already reflected in the presence of several prime ministers and foreign and defense ministers from the region. Of the many important issues that could be dealt with under that topic, some deserve particularly to be reported.

1. The organizers requested that the Allies achieve recognition of the independence of the state of Kosovo, according to international law. [1]

2. The organizers declared that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was beyond any jurisdiction, in particular beyond the Final Act of Helsinki. [2]

3. The European legal system is an obstacle to the implementation of NATO plans. The American legal system was more suitable for this, even when being used in Europe.

4. The war against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was conducted to revise a false decision made by General Eisenhower in World War II. Due to strategic reasons, the decision to deploy US soldiers in the region had to be rectified. [3]

5. The European Allies went along with the war in Yugoslavia in order to overcome de facto the dilemma caused by the April 1999 ‘New Strategic Concept’, which was enacted by the Alliance and the European predisposition of an existing mandate from the UN or the OSCE.

6. Irrespective of the subsequent legalistic European interpretation, where the enlarged task field of NATO in the Yugoslavian war exceeded the contract territory, it was an exceptional case, obviously a precedent which anyone at any time could and would rely on. [4]

7. The goal of the recently pending NATO expansion, is to restore the geographical situation between the Baltic Sea and Anatolia, as it had been at the time of the height of Roman expansion. [5]

8. In order to achieve this, Poland is to be surrounded in the north and south by democratic neighboring states. Romania and Bulgaria are to secure the ground connection to Turkey, Serbia (most likely to ensure a US military presence) was to be permanently excluded from European development.

9. North of Poland, it is important to maintain the complete control of entry from St. Petersburg to the Baltic Sea. [6]

10. In each case, the right of self-determination is given priority over all other provisions or rules of international law. [7]

11. The assessment, according to which NATO, when attacking the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia actually infringed upon international rule and, above all, any relevant provisions of international law, did not evoke contradiction. [8]

After this very candidly run event and in view of participants and organizers, one cannot help but make an assessment of the statements made at this conference.

In the global context and in order to achieve their goals, the American side, deliberately and intendedly wants to lever out the international legal system which was developed as a result of two world wars in the last century. Power shall precede law. Where international law stands in the way, it will be eliminated.

When a similar development happened to the League of Nations, the Second World War was not far off. This type of thinking which considers its own interests as being absolute, can only be called totalitarianism.

Sincerely,

Willy Wimmer
Member of Parliament,
Chairman oft he CDU district association Lower Rhine,
Vice-President of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly

[1] So far, the Kosovo continues to nominally be a province of Serbia, which in turn is a constituent republic of Yugoslavia. Maintaining this status, had been a prerequisite for the termination of the so-called Kosovo war in June 1999. Officially, maintaining this status is the program of the West until today.
[2] The Helsinki Final Act, the so-called CSCE Order, had put down the foundations of coexistence of the European states in 1975. These principles included amongst others the inviolability of borders.
[3] This seems to refer to the Allied invasion of Europe during the Second World War. Churchill et.al. had demanded then that an Allied invasion of the Balkans was to take place. Instead, Eisenhower as Commander of Chief of the Allied forces commanded invasions of Sicily (1943) and France (1944). As a result, there was no Western occupation of the Balkans at the end of the Second World War.
[4] On the part of NATO, the 1999 Kosovo war was performed without UN mandate. Such a mandate would have complied with the wish of the European governments but not the American government. The latter wants to act preferably self-confidently without international restrictions. Items 5 and 6 apparently meant that with this war a) the European states would have overcome their commitment towards their public regarding such a UN mandate and b) a precedent for future operations without UN mandate was created.
[5] The Roman Empire never extended to the Baltic Sea. Should Wimmer here have reported the statements correctly, ‘Roman’ on the one hand, means the Roman Empire, and on the other hand, the Roman church.
[6] Thus this means to cut away Russia from its Baltic Sea connection and therefore to cut it off from Europe.
[7] Emphasizing this right of self-determination, the American Wilsonianism, coined after the former president Woodrow Wilson, shows itself once again, according to Rudolf Steiner who was a main opponent of the founding of the threefold movement. Steiner saw this as a program for the “destruction of the coexistence of the European peoples”. It allows the destruction of almost all European countries by accentuating “minority problems”.
[8] Apparently, this is about the reactions to a Wimmer draft. The conference participants were apparently aware of these violations against the provisions of international law, yet they did not care.

Great lengthy but enjoyable podcast of over 14 hours with an equally important and extensive reference map documenting the podcast. I downloaded this to my computer and then uploaded it to my smartphone so that I could listen as time permitted. The Reference Map provides many great ‘take-off points’ for additional study. Though I have heard many of these ‘clips’ before like the Interview with NSA Whistleblower William Binney in its entirety, I learned more on the second listening to certain out-takes. For example, Mr. Binney listed several CIA operations that I was not familiar with, so I took some time to look them up. One in particular was Operation Amadeus, which eventually led me to an excellent article by David Guyatt entitled The Mafia, The CIA, & The Vatican’s Intelligence Apparatus which led me to David Guyatt’s website called DeepBlackLies. You can take your own journey to increased knowledge about the world we live in by exploring the excellent links below, but see if you can carve out some time between work and family to take a listen to the montage put together in Episode 087 below.
