Paul Craig Roberts
It took two decades
for Russia and China to understand that “pro-democracy” and “human rights”
organizations operating within their countries were subversive organizations
funded by the US Department of State and a collection of private American
foundations organized by Washington. The real purpose of these non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) is to advance Washington’s hegemony by destabilizing the
two countries capable of resisting US hegemony.
Washington’s Fifth
Columns pulled off “color revolutions” in former Russian provinces, such as
Georgia, the birthplace of Joseph Stalin and Ukraine, a Russian province for
centuries.
When Putin was last
elected, Washington was able to use its Fifth Columns to pour thousands of
protesters into the streets of Russia claiming that Putin had “stolen the
election.” This American propaganda had no effect on Russia, where the citizen
back their president by 89%. The other 11% consists almost entirely of Russians
who believe Putin is too soft toward the West’s aggression. This minority
supports Putin as well. They only want him to be tougher. The actual percentage
of the population that Washington has been able to turn into treasonous agents
is only 2-3 percent of the population. These traitors are the “Westerners,” the
“Atlantic integrationists,” who are willing for their country to be an American
vassal state in exchange for money. Paid to them, of course.
But Washington’s
ability to put its Fifth Columns into the streets of Moscow had an effect on
insouciant Americans and Europeans. Many Westerners today believe that Putin stole
his election and is intent on using his office to rebuild the Soviet Empire and
to crush the West. Not that crushing the West would be a difficult thing to do.
The West
has pretty much already crushed itself.
China, obsessed
with becoming rich, has been an easy mark for Washington. The Rockefeller
Foundation is supporting pro-American Chinese professors in the universities.
US corporations operating in China create superfluous “boards” to which the
relatives of the ruling political class are appointed and paid high
“directors’s fees.” This compromises the loyalty of the Chinese ruling class.
Hoping to have
compromised the Chinese ruling class with money, Washington then launched its
Hong Kong NGOs in protests, hoping that the protests would spread into China
and that the ruling class, bought with American money, would be slow to see the
danger.
Russia and China
finally caught on. It is amazing that the governments of the two countries that
Washington regards as “threats” were so tolerant of foreign-financed NGOs for
so long. The Russian and Chinese toleration of Washington’s Fifth Columns must
have greatly encouraged the American neoconservatives, thus pushing the world
closer to conflict.
But as they say,
all good things come to an end. The Saker reports that China finally has acted
to protect itself from Washington’s subversion: http://www.vineyardsaker.co.nz/2015/07/30/chinas-ngo-law-countering-western-soft-power-and-subversion-by-eric-draitser/
Russia, also, has
acted in her defense: http://www.globalresearch.ca/kicked-out-of-russia-moscow-challenges-washingtons-orwellian-national-endowment-for-democracy/5466082
We Americans need
to be humble, not arrogant. We need to acknowledge that American living
standards, except for the favored One Percent, are in long-term decline and
have been for two decades. If life on earth is to continue, Americans need to
understand that it is not Russia and China, any more than it was Saddam
Hussein, Gaddafi, Assad, Yemen, Pakistan, and Somalia, that are threats to the
US. The threat to the US resides entirely in the crazed neoconservative
ideology of Washington’s hegemony over the world and over the American people.
This arrogant goal
commits the US and its vassal states to nuclear war.
If Americans were
to wake up, would they be able to do anything about their
out-of-control-government? Are Europeans, having experienced the devastating
results of World War I and World War II, capable of understanding that the incredible
damage done to Europe in those wars is minuscule compared to the damage from
nuclear war?
If the EU were an
intelligent and independent government, the EU would absolutely forbid any
member country from hosting a US anti-ballistic missile or any other military
base anywhere close to Russia’s borders.
The Eastern
European lobby groups in Washington want revenge on the Soviet Union, an entity
that is no longer with us. The hatred transmits to Russia. Russia has done
nothing except to have failed to read the Wolfowitz Doctrine and to realize
that Washington intends to rule the world, which requires prevailing over
Russia and China.
