UKRAINE

COLLECTIVE HYPOCRISY

AND

THE HORROR OF IMPERIAL HEGEMONY

BY: T.D. Duff

The United States, despite what you learned in school, was never intended to be a pure democracy. The forefathers of the United States attacked the idea as nothing better than dictatorship by the mob, the sorts of mobs which they had seen repeatedly manipulated by the British Empire.

The roster of documented coups and bloodbaths supported by both republicans and democrats since the end of World War II is a veritable amoral massacre of villainy, deception, deceit, and collective hypocrisy.

These Pentagon warmongerings include Iran, Guatemala, Indonesia, Pakistan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Brazil, the Balkans, Georgia, the Philippines, Panama, Egypt, Iraq, Libya, Malaysia, most of Central and South America, and most recently Syria, Yemen and now, Ukraine.

All these countries were given the same full treatments of horrific genocide, ruthless austerity demanded by the IMF and World Bank, and bombing of the countries back to the most primitive basis of society.

The entire continent of Africa, like Africa's Great Rift Valley that holds the world's greatest concentration of raw materials, has been the scene of similar genocidal warfare and raw materials looting, with child soldiers pressed into the killing by the Pentagon and CIA.

The economies of Mexico, Central America, and most of South America have been turned into outsourced and isolated cheap-labor manufacturing slave operations, surrounded by the production and transportation infrastructure for the CIA's organized crime drug operations.

The profits from these heroin and cocaine illegal 'ops' are part of the secretive 'black budget' run by the NSA, and fuel the Ponzi scheme otherwise known as Wall Street and the City of London.

Numerous political leaders have been assassinated by the CIA and organized crime. The list includes, to name a few, progressive leaders such as Patrice Lubumba, Aldo Moro, Indira Gandhi, Salvador Allende, Enrico Mattei, John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Thomas Merton, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Sven Olaf Palme and Paul Wellstone.

They have also murdered progressive pro-development bankers, such as Germany's Alfred Herhausen, who openly challenged the zero growth and austerity and interest apartheid machinations of the IMF and World Bank.

After the bankruptcy of the Soviet Union in the 1990s by the corrupt Bush administration using, in part, 286 billion in 10 year treasury bills that came due the week of 9/11, there was a universal understanding among political leaders that the expansion of NATO would be a foolish provocation toward Russia. Sanity however, would not prevail.

The U.S. The Secretary of State James Baker in the Reagan administration had promised following the unification of Germany that NATO would not expand beyond the German borders. The commitment not to expand NATO was also made by Great Britain and France. This seemed to be the coming of a new social global order.

After the breakup of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev reached out to America and Europe to build a new security pact that would include Russia.

However, the American war industry did not want to decrease its power or profits. Immediately the U.S. began to coerce the former Communist Bloc countries into the European Union and NATO.

Countries that joined NATO, all given hefty low interest loans by the IMF and World Bank to buy the most sophisticated weapons of war now include, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia, were strong armed and forced to restructure their militaries, to become up to the standards of NATO military hardware.

NATO quickly became a multi-billion-dollar daisy chain panacea for corporations that had profited from the Cold War.

The Obama administration, not wanting to increase tensions with Russia, stopped arm sales to Kiev. This act of sanity was abandoned by the Trump and Biden administrations. Weapons from Great Britain and the United States have been amassing into Ukraine. The current $1.5 billion in military aid includes thousands of sophisticated Javelins and anti-tank weapons despite continuing protests by Russia.

Once NATO expanded into Eastern Europe the Clinton administration promised Moscow that NATO troops would never be brought to Eastern Europe. This was the primary issue of

of the 1997 NATO-Russia Founding Act on Mutual Relations. This promise was again a lie, and was broken.

In 2014, Vice President Biden and the NSA and CIA head John Brennan, using sniper mercenaries from neighboring Georgia, together with neocon U.S. State Department official Victoria "F**k the EU" Nuland, backed a coup against the Ukrainian President Viktor Yanucovych who wanted to build an economic alliance with Russia rather than NATO and the European Union. Stratfor founder, a proprietary of the CIA George Friedman called the overthrow "the most blatant coup in U.S. history."

The Biden overseen staged Ukraine coup and its aftermath contained many corrupt sweetheart deals for the Biden family with Ukraines gas company Burisma and the country's hundreds of strategic mining operations, from coal to lithium and zinc.

Alarmed by the coup, and the overtures of the EU and NATO, Russia then annexed Crimea, a Russian speaking population.

The Biden steered coup had the unintended effect of causing a 180 degree geopolitical pivot of Moscow from west to east. The opening of massive new gas pipelines, the Power of Siberia natural gas pipeline to Asia and China was one of the unintended consequences.

Thus began the war making spiral of U. S. machinations that need an enemy to sustain itself, that has led us to the current Ukraine situation.

According to the British father of geopolitics, Sir Halford Mackinder, claimed in 1904 that Russia represented the "geographical pivot of history." More than a century ago, Mackinder was rightly convinced that while Europe expanded overseas to India, Africa and other colonial lands, the Russian state, based in Eastern Europe and Central Asia would expand south and east, organizing a vast expanse of human and natural resources.

That enormous space, he predicted, would soon be covered by a network of high speed railways, thereby greatly enhancing the mobility and strategic reach of land power for the first time in history.

British and American foreign policy, from the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 until the creation of NATO in 1949, had been obviously premised on Mackinder's analysis.

By 2003, it took minimal strategic military acumen to realize that the Pentagon madmen and their allies in the armament industry and Big Oil, had a vision of the U.S. unfettered by international agreements and acting unilaterally in its own monopolistic interests, as defined by the neo-conservative PNAC.

The events soon surrounding Russia were the Washington financed NED covert destabilizing operations in Eurasia, the Color Revolutions against governments on the Russian periphery. After 2003, Russian foreign policy, especially its energy policy reverted to the axioms of 'Heartland' geopolitics as defined by Sir Halford Mackinder.

For Mackinder, the prime objective of both the British and American foreign and military power was to prevent a unity, whether natural or unnatural, between the two great powers of the Eurasian landmass, Russia and China.

The hegemon is now in big trouble trying to contain both sides of Russia and China simultaneously through deception and dishonesty.

NATO, the coalition of the coerced, does not help, and is outright evil. Through its American arms trading via the unregulated TPP, it is an evil leviathan in the criminal search of natural resource acquisition that has incinerated mankind while delivering weapons of war to NATO countries of Eastern Europe, paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

We must stand up now finally, and righteously and rightly take to the streets in protest to the virus of the unaudited $1 trillion Pentagon budget that plagues mankind.

It will not be an easy process, to end the horror of imperial hegemony, the collective hypocrisy, and the obsessive military agenda of the warfare state that has its evil corporate tentacles in every state and nearly every country of the world, but it is necessary one for the survival not only of the world, but also of the United States, if we want and hope to function as functioning democracy.
