There were
two good articles in Counterpunch very recently about Latin
America . I say good, they were very disturbing. They showed the
immense power that the western aristocracy has due to the fact that they
own most of the World's wealth, and control most of the media which they use to spew
out their endless propaganda. They are able to
engineer recessions in any country, to cause food shortages, to mess about with its exchange rates,
massively increase inflation, and they have ways to try to make the any
government they don’t like look corrupt, incompetent and not up to the job to try make people vote them out.
The US, or
Anglo US, has now started to turn its attention away from the Middle East and
turn towards Russia and Latin America instead. The US has successfully severed the link of any closer
ties that were forming between Russia and
Europe by causing a civil war in the Ukraine ,
where their real aim was to close down Russia 's
gas supplies to Europe .
Now, behind
the scenes they are trying to reverse all the democratic and socialist
reforms that have occurred in Latin America
over the past few years. The tactics used are frightening. Frightening because
they have the power, and the means, the wealth, to destroy any democratic
movement, or government, they wish, and to can make it look like it's the actually
the enemy, and then get their own despotic government voted back in. It is also
frightening because they have managed to topple many governments in
the Middle East and the Ukraine
through war while pretending to be the good guys which they have largely got
away with it. And they can do this anywhere in the world wherever they wish. Europe,
the UK , Canada , and Australia have long
been US vassal states with their politicians corrupted by big money, their
democracies a sham.
The world has
been turned up side down where the good guys are the really the bad guys and
the so called ‘bad guys’ are often nowhere near as bad as they have been made
to have been.
Is Putin a
good guy or a bad guy? Personally, I think he is nowhere near as bad as
the west makes him out to be, but he isn't perfect, and one reason for this is
that he has his own treacherous ruling class to keep an eye on, many of whom
would love to have him removed from power with a US puppet put in his
place Then they will work with the Western aristocracy to loot Russia again of
everything it has while making themselves very wealthy indeed..
The European
socialists are neoliberals who have also done much of the damage to Latin
America and the Middle East . While horrendous
crimes were being caused by US led wars, the UK Guardian, amongst others,
focused on so the called 'pro democracy dissidents'
that had been imprisoned by the some of the governments of Latin
America because of the riots and espionage they had caused. But the history
of Latin America was one of US trained brutal death squads and these so called
‘pro democracy groups’ are funded by Latin America's old
guard, the very people who ran the dictatorships and were behind the most
despicable war crimes and brutal murders which left whole villages totally
destroyed. These massacres were orchestrated because ordinary civilians greatly
outnumbered the ruling elite, so they used the most brutal oppression to
utterly frighten the population into complete
submission. Blowtorch Bob was a general who was infamous for his favorite
torture method.

On another
blog I visit some of the people there were saying that Putin was a dictator and
that he murders his political opponents. Others were saying that he
was a communist. So I asked them to tell me who told them this, and where did
they get this information from? Was it from western media? Whether
Putin is a bad guy or a good guy one thing we can be certain of is that
virtually everything we read about him here in the West is filled with
propaganda and half truths. Saudi
Arabia with its mass beheadings
is hardly ever criticized by our leaders, and when it is mentioned in
our press it never has the sinister overtones that get associated
with Putin. I said to these people, can't you see that they are softening
us up for a war with Russia, or at least getting us ready for his overthrow which
might well cause a civil war there which could then spill over into the
rest of the world. The Neocons are crazy to be taking these kinds of
risks.
You might
think that Putin is completely safe, and that only a nuclear war
could take him out. But Paul Craig Roberts and Michael Hudson
both describe how the US is
trying to break Russia up by
funding Muslim extremist groups there, especially in Chechnya . They are also funding
NGO'S who say they are campaigning for more 'democracy', but are
they really just out to stir things up with these stories like, ‘Putin
hates gays’, and ‘Putin imprisons young women of a punk band who were just
having fun?’ More on this propaganda in another post. The neoconservatives aim
is to break up Russia
into smaller countries so they can control and corrupt them more easily. And millions
of innocents could die in the resultant wars.
It is scary
to see how the western ruling elite have the power to do all this, to
be able topple democratic regimes, trigger endless wars, break up
countries, and drive of the rest world into slavery, while calling it
capitalism and freedom. And we in the west have been programmed to believe
that while this capitalism might taste awful, it's a medicine that is good
for us, and so we go along with the enslavement of the rest of the World
and ourselves A world where only the markets rule, which our western aristocracy
have complete control over, which means that all the world’s wealth flows
towards the City of London and Wall Street. This is a fake capitalism, where no
matter how hard many millions of people in the rest of the world may work,
they always remain poor.
The US is trying to
bring the Death Squads back again.
