We can no longer tolerate the state of affairs in the world. President Vladimir Putin
October 02, 2015 "Information Clearing House" - Last Wednesday (28 Sept 2015) the world saw the difference between Russia and Washington. Putins approach is truth-based; Obamas is vain boasts and lies, and Obama is running out of lies.
By telling the truth at a time of universal deceit, Putin committed a revolutionary act. Referring to the slaughter, destruction, and chaos that Washington has brought to the Middle East, North Africa, and Ukraine, and the extreme jihadist forces that have been unleashed, Putin asked Washington: Do you realize what you have done?
Putins question reminds me of the question Joseph Welch asked witch-hunting Senator Joseph McCarthy: Have you no sense of decency? Welchs question is attributed with initiating the decline of McCarthys career.
Perhaps Putins question will have the same impact and bring the reign of American Exceptionalism to an end.
If so, Putin has launched a revolution that will overthrow the worlds subservience to Washington.
Putin stresses the legality of Russias intervention in Syria, which is at the request of the Syrian government. He contrasts Russias respect for international law with the intervention in Syria of Washington and France, governments that are violating Syrias sovereignty with unrequested and illegal military action.
The world sees that it is Washington and its vassals who violate international norms and not Russia.
The sanctimonious self-righteousness, behind which hides Washingtons self-serving unilateral actions, is revealed for all to see.
Washington relies on its arsenal of lies. Washingtons media-based disinformation apparatus was too hot to trot. Just as the BBCs TV reporter announced the premature destruction of World Trade Center Building 7 with the building clearly still standing in the background, Washingtons lie service announced the first civilian casualties of Russian air strikes even before our planes got in the air, noted President Putin in his comments on Washingtons disinformation warfare.
As a consequence of their subservience to Washington, the puppet states of Europe are being overrun by refugees from Washingtons wars that Europe so mindlessly enabled. As the cost of being Washingtons vassals comes home to Europeans, the standings of European political parties will be affected. New parties and ruling coalitions are likely to follow more independent paths in order to protect themselves from the costs of the enormous mistakes that flow from Washingtons arrogance and hubris.
The breakup of the Empire is on the horizon.http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article43025.htm?mc_cid=1a716c569f&mc_eid=f0754ee742
