A few days back, condemning what he
described as Russian “aggression” in the Ukraine, American Hellboy Barak Obama
said in Warsaw, “How can we allow the dark tactics of the 20th
century to define the 21st.” The comment was made apropos what he
and his State Department describe as the Russian “annexation” of the Crimea and
verbal support for the pro-Russian dissidents in the Donetsk region of the
Ukraine.
Looking at the Ukrainian situation
factually it is more than clear that the American State Department actively
supported a takeover in Kiev by violent gangs of thugs from Nazi political
parties to oust the then democratically elected pro-Russian President of that
country. A new Government was then installed in Kiev without any elections taking
place. After this a democratic election took place in the Crimean Peninsula to
determine whether or not the people who lived there wanted to remain Ukrainian
citizens or join the Russian Federation. An overwhelming majority voted for the
latter. It should also be noted that the Russian Federation had and still has
an ongoing treaty with the Ukraine to station the Russian Black Sea Fleet at
its Naval Base in the Crimea and allow twenty thousand Russian troops to be
stationed there. Finally it should also be noted that the vast majority of the
population in the Donetsk Region of the Ukraine are Russian and have
participated in various referendums to join with the Russian Federation. The
legitimacy of these votes have been denied and condemned, along with that in
the Crimea by President Obama, the American State Department and heads of all
states in the EU. Currently the so called dissidents of Eastern Ukraine are
being bombed by aircraft from the new unelected Government in Kiev and attacked
by its ground forces.
None of these circumstances matter to Barak
Obama and his State Department whose ultimate aim is to have NATO nuclear
forces stationed in the Ukraine right up to the Russian border.
This Post however if not essentially about
the situation in the Ukraine and how the Americans view it. It’s about how President
Obama and State Department view Russian history of the 20th century.
True, there was a great Revolution there in 1917 which freed countless millions
of Russians from servitude and slavery, and true, Joseph Stalin, subsequently leader
of the Soviet Union for three decades committed many atrocities against his own
people one of which was to murder all his old early associates in Lenin’s
Bolshevik Party and turn Russia into a semi-fascist State. But then the Soviet
Union defeated Nazi Germany in the Second World War at a cost of 30 million of
its citizens and soldiers. So be clear about this American Hellboy Barak Obama,
it wasn’t the hundred thousand American troops at ‘D’ Day who defeated the
Nazis and captured Berlin but the Russians and citizens of the Soviet Union.
Okay then, if Russia of the 20th
century doesn’t altogether come up smelling of roses for your sensitive nose Mr
American Hellboy let’s see what kind of record America’s got going for you.
Let’s see what you’ve done and what kind of heroes you came up with. First
though let me point out that black people in your country were being lynched
from trees on a regular basis up till the 1930’s and beyond in most of the
southern states of your so called land of the free just because of their
colour. Now I’m hoping they’re not the kind of dark tactics you’re referring
to Barak Obama or maybe they’ve just gone out of your head.
Okay then, dark tactics. America in
the 20th century. Firstly after your war with Spain at the end of
the 19th century to break its grip on its former Central and South
American colonies you continued your Monroe Doctrine and basically turned these
countries into your very own Banana Republics, run by your protégés who were mainly
murderous dictators. A policy that continued well into the 1980’s.
Secondly, with the horror of the greatest
war the world had ever seen beginning in 1914 and already running for three
years in Europe, YOU SINGULARLY FAILED TO
INTERVENE, ONLY DOING SO AS LATE AS 1918
AFTER MANY BRITISH, FRENCH AND COLONIAL SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS HAD DIED.
You stayed out of this war almost till its end in order to see what you could
get out of it. Such dark tactics were repeated just two decades later when the
United States turned its back on Britain and France, already fighting to the
death against Nazi Germany with British cities being bombed on a daily basis.
Yes, all those Nazi sympathizers you had in America helped you maintain your dark
tactics of isolation. That is until Pearl Harbour, December 1941, when
you finally joined up with the British. You stood by all that time, unwilling
to join us while our cities and people were being attacked. And then you only
came in AFTER the same had happened to you.
Well your War Record in Europe doesn’t
smell at all sweet to me Hellboy Obama. Some might call it dark and cowardly tactics. Others
less kind might say it stinks.
And in between the two wars weren’t you
engaging in some seriously dark tactics at home? Worthy of
mention is the long and brutal attack on the Labor and Trades Union movement around
most of America by police, state troopers and armed gangs of private security
operatives. The use of thugs and strike breaking organizations to attack
demonstrations for worker’s rights followed by the gigantic strike by corporate
America against its entire working population heralded by the Wall Street
Collapse of 1929 in which the bankers and financiers ripped the heart out of
the American people much as they did recently are very significant dark
tactics. Dark tactics then for ten years or more during which most rural
black Americans were living in slavery. But then I suppose none of this is what
you’d call dark tactics President American Hellboy Obama because
such things don’t qualify as dark when they happen in your own country.
And when the Second World War ended, you
know, the one America only entered reluctantly, your political system threw up
something real special. You surely remember him don’t you, that very special
master of dark tactics, Joseph McCarthy. Surely you haven’t forgotten the
long anti-communist witch hunt that gripped your country in the late forties
and early fifties. Surely you know about the attack on so many American Jews,
accused of being communist not only by Joseph McCarthy but also by one of your
very own predecessors, that very eminent master of dark tactics Richard Nixon. Well we really don’t want any of those dark
tactics of the 20th century to get into the 21st,
now do we? Or did you just forget about all the evil you got up to at home in
America Mr Finger Pointing President?
But then let me remind you what you go up
to outside your country while all
these dark tactics were going on. Firstly what America’s armed forces were doing
in Korea in the early 1950’s After installing puppet government of monsters in
the south of that country you began dropping endless quantities of bombs on the
north. It began a fifty year spree beginning with the ten year bombing of
Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos which saw American soldiers on the ground engaged in
endless killing and massacres of civilians. Soldiers... civilians... It didn’t
matter who or what. Just fire-bombing and shooting. But those weren’t dark
tactics were they? Those weren’t what you’d call War Crimes because all
those people killed were killed in the name of democracy. American democracy!
During this time the world witnessed the splendid
behaviour at home of Richard Nixon, earlier master of accusing innocent people
who became master of spying on opponents in the Democrat Party. Well I’m sure
you don’t want any of that Watergate stuff to get into the 21st
century do you Hellboy Obama?
Not long after another of America’s
Presidents with help from the State Department and Central Intelligence Agency
organised a military coup in Chile led by openly fascist General Pinochet
against the democratically elected Government of Salvador Allende. Getting rid
of someone who wasn’t much more than a liberal like Allende was a great victory
for the CIA. Now they had a murderous fascist running the Government of Chile. A
dictator who’d control the world price of copper for businesses back home.
Democratically elected Government out, military dictatorship in. Dark
tactics? No, surely not! We wouldn’t want any of that in the 21st
century. Certainly not in the Ukraine!
Oh wait a minute, I forgot to mention that
America sponsored and supplied the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba by émigrés and
gangsters after Castro took over, then the Iran Contras Scandal in which President
Regan secretly supported an invasion of Nicaragua without Congressional
knowledge after a socialist Government took over there.
And who came next? Pray help me along!
Wasn’t it President Clinton’s favorite intern in the White House. You know the
one who regularly sucked his cigar while he was busy dismantling Yugoslavia. As
America manipulated a war between the separate states that Tito had united into
a single country, using religious and ethnic tensions to pull it apart, Clinton
then turned American forces and those of the EU against Serbia, bombing the
hell out of the country month after month. Dark tactics? Not a bit of it. They
were spreading democracy!
And after Yugoslavia came Lebanon, and
after Lebanon the invasion of Iraq, and after that the bombing of Libya and
then the Iraq War and ousting of Saddam Hussein. And after that the War in
Afghanistan. Now this last one is special. Early in this conflict the Taliban
were quickly defeated by an alliance of troops from neighboring states led by
General Dostan and his Northern Alliance. The Muslim extremists were all but
wiped out but then American stepped in! The Northern Alliance was sidelined and
eventually disbanded by the American military and a year or so later the
Taliban were allowed to return. This increasingly drew in American troops and a
whole multi-national force including the British. All the time the Muslim
extremists were increasing their foothold so that today they are back where
they were. Very far from being defeated, with the full armed forces of America
engaged in a major armed conflict in that country. Just like Iraq, Vietnam, Korea…
Was any of it dark tactics? The kind of
thing we don’t want to bring into the 21st century? Why certainly
not! Not a bit of it! Once again it was America exporting democracy. Same as
it’s now doing in the Ukraine!
Supporting the Nazi-inspired takeover in Kiev by the same kind of nationalists
who served as Concentration and Extermination Camp Guards at Sobibor, Auschwitz,
Treblinka and elsewhere assisting in the mass murder of Jews during the Second
World War. Nice people you’ve got for friends these days Hellboy Obama.
Is it dark tactics for Hellboy Obama and
his neo-conservative run State Department to turn the heat up on Putin.
Promising to bring American troops into Poland and the Baltic States bordering
Russia along with NATO military hardware? No, it’s defending democracy! Is it dark
tactics to currently threaten China with serious consequences, namely
the American Far East Fleet, in its dispute over territorial waters with its
neighbours in the South China Seas?
Well from the point of view of Barak Obama
none of the above constitutes dark tactics. America’s conduct both
at home and abroad is a beacon of light. Especially now that it’s threatening
both Russia and China with consequences…
Think of America today. Its civilians
shooting each other en masse on a weekly basis. The dark horror of its criminal
justice system and program of ritualized state executions. Its State and
Federal police openly attacking and beating up civilians on a daily basis and
regularly doing the same to working people striking for better pay and
conditions, or students engaged in lawful protest. Just think of America today
with a minimum wage officially less than 6 dollars an hour. Think of the 5% of
the population who own 80% of its wealth and the 40% of its population who go
hungry each day.
America we don’t want you to export
anything into the 21st century because your record in the 20th
stinks. Stop bombing, shooting and killing people actively or by proxy all over
the globe and start treating your own citizens like human beings.
Threatening people here, there and
everywhere is a sure sign of a nation that’s morally bankrupt. Today America
itself is economically bankrupt and with its history of vile behaviour around the
world we are living in the most dangerous of times. The world’s people don’t
want America bringing any more of its dirty dark tactics into the 21th
century Hellboy Obama so stop lying about everyone else just to hide your long
time record of murder, lies and oppression.
