Why aren’t more people amazed, and incensed, that the western mainstream media propaganda assault on Russia just never-let’s-up? Yesterday the Wall Street Journal had the unmitigated audacity to headline their news “The Putin Body Count.” Referring to the more than 4,000 dead in Ukraine we had a hand in, the newspaper breeches insanity, leading me to wonder; “will Vladimir Putin help dig western media’s grave?
Update: See notation following mention of Citigroup..
Let me repeat myself for effect here. The Wall Street Journal. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. Now growing up as a kid, I used to sit across from my dad as he read this financial newspaper, and the New York Times too. He was, you see, once Attorney General of the state of Georgia, so he had to be a voracious news consumer. Dad read everything from the Atlanta Journal to the TIME, keeping up with the latest news daily. Witnessing what’s happened to American press these days though, it’s no wonder the world’s in a mess.
The story yesterday went something like this, the WSJ leads in:
“Russia’s military assault on Ukraine threatens the survival of an independent state and peace in Europe. Often overlooked is what the invasion—and that’s what it is even if President Obama and the Europeans are afraid to utter the “i word”—has meant for Ukrainians in lands taken by Vladimir Putin ’s forces.”
Just Who Does Wear the Black Hat Today?
Is there a need for me, or for anybody for that matter, to point out Washington’s part in the upheaval in Ukraine? Is there still anybody out there unclear as to the real causes of Ukrainian dissent? Barack Obama assaults the US constitution almost daily, and meanwhile his puppets in the EU cause their own people suffering on account of ridiculous sanctions. Is it me, or can anyone else hear the distinct sound of someone(s) laughing, the wringing of evil hands over the Cold War II?
Breaking news for you, my dear readership, the mighty Wall Street Journal is owned by Rupert Murdoch (above), the media billionaire most adamant about getting Barack Obama into office. And since I’ve mentioned this kingpin of western media propaganda, it seems appropriate to ask the reader if he or she has knowledge of Murdoch’s investment interests? Or, do you realize he meets regularly with other players in the global energy and investment game, players like Saudi magnate Al-Waleed bin Talal (who’s got a 1$ billion tied up in Citigroup)? (a Citigroup director was found dead in his apartment with his throat cut this weekend. Shawn D. Miller was the Global Head of Environmental and Social Risk Management (ESRM) for Citi.)
) Are you watching these movements, noticing how Washington meets with the same people Murdoch and other western “oligarchs” do? These are questions you should be asking. Why Al-Waleed has even got an Islamic studies program of his very own at Harvard. Who says “money can’t by you love?” If you’re wondering about Saudi royalty’s agenda here, just follow the money. This Wall Street Journal “suck up” to the Saudi prince spells Obama’s latest agenda out. Read it and weep for Syria’s Assad.
I quote from Matthew Kaminski from exactly one year ago:
“Mr. Obama’s recent Hamlet act on Syria surprised and infuriated Riyadh. After the worst chemical-weapons atrocity of the war, the American leader heeded long-standing calls for military intervention, then hedged by asking for congressional approval, then nixed airstrikes in favor of a disarmament pact with Syria’s Bashar Assad.”
Bad Guys Hate Good Guys
Let’s be clear on one thing, Vladimir Putin and Russia stand opposed to whatever shenanigans the US, UK, EU, Saudi Arabia, and other oil cartel leadership are up to. And the leadership of each of these hates Russia and Vladimir Putin for various reasons, all competitive. One does not have to know the “exact” wheeling and dealing going on to know billionaires only care about one thing. However sorted the quest for oil or arms dollars (or rubles) may be, it’s what profit buys that dictates right or wrong for a people. Here on mother Earth, we’ve few examples today of how Saudi oil trillions, or Rupert Murdoch wins have helped the so called “free people” of the west.
On the other hand, Vladimir Putin’s quest to “surface” Russia as an economic power, it’s revealed a lone superpower free of debt, and somehow clinging to traditional Russian values. In short, for the people he represents, Vladimir Putin is John Wayne on a white horse. And the western oligarchs hate his guts. A friend of mine who’s prolific on social media said to me once recently; “We’re not wearing the white hats in this one Phil.” No kidding, American are stagnated, almost flat busted, robbed, abused, and manipulated, and worse, most do not even realize it. All one has to do is turn to France and Le Monde diplomatique , to get a perspective on what’s really happening. Michael Klare writes:
“Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, South Sudan, Ukraine, the East and South China Seas: wherever you look, the world is aflame with new or intensifying conflicts. At first glance, these upheavals appear to be independent events, driven by their own unique and idiosyncratic circumstances. But look more closely and they share several key characteristics — notably, a witch’s brew of ethnic, religious, and national antagonisms that have been stirred to the boiling point by a fixation on energy.”
How does it feel, the itching sensation everything you’re told by CNN, FOX, BBC, and all the US newspapers is false? Uncomfortable for many, I am sure. We’re asked to believe (over and over) blatant misrepresentations, lies bought and paid for by the very people who profit from our loss. The curious among you might ponder, “Why would Saudi Arabia have a key role in Iran nuclear talks?” They were once described as “brotherly nations” back before Iran had blows with the US. Up until Mr. Putin stepped in on the US Syria intervention too, the only discord between the countries was trivial. The reason Saudi Arabia is interested now though, has more to do with Iran’s natural gas resources than with Atomic bombs.
News flash: “Iran has twice as much natural gas as the United States and Saudi Arabia combined!”
Now we begin to see why the United States has shunned Iran for so many years. The philosophical and misleading notion Israel feared an Iran bomb, this was and is subterfuge. Sure Israel is paranoid, but American and Saudi billionaires invest in energy, airplanes, and not necessarily “kill all” A-bombs. Who is the good guy here? I’d say look at just “who” is condemning Vladimir Putin. Let me assist you.
A Genie War Bottle
What do Rupert Murdoch, Dick Cheney, Michael Steinhardt, and Lord Jacob Rothschild all have in common? They’re all associated with a venture called Genie Energy. This shale energy conglomerate has its drills in American shale exploitation, Israeli energy efforts (though the Israelis are lately angry at Genie), a direct competitor with Gazprom, especially if we look at their recent Mongolia exploration. So, what you have in a nutshell with Cheney and Murdoch as energy advisors there, is a type of collusion, maybe worse. The connection, for you, in between “The Putin Body Count” and Rupert Murdoch paid employees is well made now.
What’s scarier (or should be) for you and me is the fact Murdoch and the other media moguls in on this bash Putin campaign could care less what you think. Murdoch, the western leadership in London and Washington, they’ve no fear or reproach even. The 1% has become so arrogant, so powerful, they fear not reprisal from the populace. Some would say the world going to hell in a hand basket, why it’s all our fault! Here, here’s where Rupert Murdoch joined Genie Energy’s advisory board.Now tell me the Wall Street Journal is unbiased! Go on, try.
Here is a quote from the 2010 press release from Genie, it is TELLING:
“Rupert Murdoch and Gene Renna obviously bring vast experience and immeasurable value to the Genie Strategic Advisory Board. Their legendary accomplishments and eminent characters speak for themselves,” said Genie Energy Chairman Wes Perry. “Their decision to join Genie’s Strategic Advisory Board speaks to the fundamental importance and urgency of our mission to rebalance global energy production markets. I join the other Board members in welcoming them and look forward to working with them.”
Newscorp has a vested interest in what happens in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and in the United States especially. Newscorp and Murdoch have helped “rebalance” the energy market. Let’s not be naive. Those mentioned in opposition to Russia and Putin they are the bad guys. They’re the bad guys because they’re willing to ignite World War III in order to profit. They’re the bad guys because they lie to Americans and Brits. They mislead us on a monumental scale the Nazis could not have dreamed of. They’re the bad guys because they cheapen us, our values, and they lessen our lives. “How do the lessen our lives,” you ask? I’ll tell you.
The Obama administration is not the only guilty party where shafting the American people is concerned. Just about every politician in Washington (of not every single one) has been set in place by people like Murdoch. We all know this instinctively, and from our forefathers. Politics has alway been about lying, backstabbing, and putting a hand in somebody else’s pocket. It’s just never been so blatant, unapologetic, and disastrous. For God’s sake (as my dear departed Mom would say), Wall Street crushed the American economy, robbed Americans, then robbed them again via the administration, and nobody did a thing. The NSA shattered the Constitution of the United States of America, and got by with it.
I found this quote by one of the world’s most interesting leaders of the past. Haile Selassie was Emperor of Ethiopia almost 5 decades, heir to a dynasty with traditions back to King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. The quote below mirrors what many great leaders have said, but I use it for the purpose of revealing the evil humankind has suffered for eons.
“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.”
Here we are, silent but for a few, witnessing atrocities of immeasurable and wanton hurt, by the same evil. Not unlike Putin, Haile Selassie was revered as a savior by millions for his wisdom and courage. He was also imprisoned, dethroned, and his family murdered after a coup d’état’ in the world’s oldest monarchy. History recalls Haile Selassie (on the cover of TIME at right) as the single figure who defied fascism’s grip on his people. Though Mussolini’s Italy took Ethiopia, it was Selassie who galvanized and represented a people not defenseless against aggression. History may well tell of a Russian leader who defied an even more insidious takeover. For make no mistake, if not for Vladmir Putin not a Russian value would stand before rampant capitalism gone rabid.
How can I say this as an American? I’ve watched half a century men like Murdoch bastardize my beloved country, that’s how. I watched Bernard Kilgore’s paper my Dad and his contemporaries counted on, turned to garbage since 2007.
Ever since Nigel Farage (UK )went to see Murdoch, I’ve had doubts about his political intentions
Yes J, there’s more wheeling and dealing going on these days than I can recall in half a century on the planet.

This Phil Butler works for Russia Today – everything is clear.
Hi Tengiz,
I “contribute” to Russia Today, I do not work for the channel. My contributions are unpaid, and I can prove this. I just thought you may want to get this right. Would I work for them? Of course, if time permitted, they are the most decent in world media I’ve met. I’ll tell that story later on.
It’s normal to assume someone with a different view is “on the take” … so I do not blame you. Now that I’ve addressed your concern, perhaps you’ll consider the “possibility” in what I say?
“everything is clear.” what is clear? that you are a biased nut. Even if he worked there so what? A lot of great journalists work there. When you cant say anything negative about article then say some stupid insult
Thanks Niki, I guess that was @Tengiz for saying I work for RT. I do not, actually. I contribute opinion and news to about two dozen media outlets. I might add, only one of which is a “paid” gig. Not sure just who in the world does that sort of thing, know of no one actually.
Like I said in answer to Tengiz, I can prove I do not take money for these contributions. This is all about my kids, yours, living in a safer more prosperous world. Many do not believe people like me even still exist. But I am just a normal guy who is a decent writer.
Thanks for taking up for a guy who gets blamed for taking bribes, being a Russian spy, and called unpatriotic by his lifelong friends.
All because the politicians want Americans and Brits to hate Russians.
Hmmm.
Mr. Butler hardly understands what his paranoid article does.
They use this BS to kill people in Ukraine.
M. Butler — real murder. I really hope that such people will have to answer for those lies.
Victor, there is only one thing sure in this world, and that is that we all answer. We, all of us, have the blood of innocents on our hands. Wether we sit idly by and let great men conquer all before them, or if we take up arms out in front of their armies, who is to say who the righteous were? Like you, sometimes I look at what I have written and wonder; “Did I contribute to someone else’s suffering?”
But on the other hand, what if I have saved lives? What if a plea to try and reconcile America and Russia saves a little child or a big brave soldier? And for your testament, what if your condemnation of me caused me to stop? Who will die then?
Like me, you are probably afraid. Maybe you lost someone, or maybe I did? War is the inevitable end of this power play Victor. Russia is not going to surrender and allow missiles on her front porch. This is why Ukraine is embattled you see. An economic and political decision, turned into a battle for the doorstep of Russia. This is undeniable, as sad and sorry as that is.
I am sorry for your loss, and for your fear too. I actually understand it all too well.
Спасибо,Фил!!!
thank you,Phil!!!
My pleasure, it is only the truth Natalia.
Thank you, Phil
Thank you Irina, for saying so.
Dear Phil,
Thanks for your decent and courageous point of view. Being Ukranian and Russian at the same time I observe the situation with a sad heart.
The main complain of Russia is that about 15-20 millions of mentally and historically tied to Russia people were abused during the conflict. Law which allowed people to talk Russian language was the first law abolished by new Ukranian authority. Nationalistic fuss in Ukraine is very close to Nazi-collaborators and that is extremely vulnerable to Russians.
We don not hear independent voice in Western media so no one is going to defend Russians except ourselves.
I should assure you that there is nothing to be afraid of in Russian actions. Russians do not want USSR renascence and do not have imperialistic plans. But Russia will fight the welfare and is not going to be a whipping boy.
Good Luck to you!
Hi Dmitrii,
Thank you for taking your time to come and comment. You have touched on the key component of this crisis. I know many Russians and Ukrainians who have relatives in the war zone. Afraid, just like their American cousins would be if this were Canada, they pray every day nothing bad will happen to them. To be honest, I was a bit surprised Vladimir Putin did not roll 50 divisions into Ukraine earlier on. He has shown uncommon restraint, and justifiably.
What most people do not understand about Putin is, first and foremost he is a businessman. Sure his KGB and martial arts persona are appealing, but it is his business acumen than drives Russia in the right direction. That said, he is a balanced leader, one passionate about Russia, and about the right business choices to propel the country to greatness. As you say, Russians in Ukraine must be defended at all cost. It’s as if they were on vacation, in a way, the army, economics, and detentes of the Russian people is for protecting the people.
Westerners do not get this story. What Americans get is the same lie they’ve always gotten. We are “exceptional” we are better than anybody else. This is, and has been, very wrong. What is “better” (or should be) is our common belief system, democracy, as it were. But the Murdocks of the world have convoluted democracy, they’s bastardized it to be “get while the getting is good.” This is their sin.
Western media? It is owned by Murdock and a few others. If Russia Today is state television, TIME and Time Warner are the propaganda whores of fake freedom.I worry for my countrymen Dmitrii. We had a chance, some months ago, to come together and fix many of the world’s problems. Somebody did not want this and that somebody was not Vladimir Putin.
Again, thanks for your decisive view on this, Russians have to protect Russians ultimately.
Always,
Phil
Truth is simple, as it was before world war2, or stand up to aggressor or
give up and pay big price latter. You are misleading people, emigrant from USSR and know what these crazy soviet style leaders are able. This is not a joke. Democracy should stay firm.
@Willie, Please know, and understand, there is no democracy in the world today.
Thank you,Phil, for the truth!!!
Thank you Alex, for your kind words.
I have heard some ridiculous things said by Westerners about Putin, but this article just about takes the biscuit.
If you think Putin is a “hero,” a “saviour of the world,” or whatever else then you are sorely blinded by your loathing of the American system.
The 0.001% is the same everywhere…..
Hi jon, I had a friend from Ukraine tell me the same thing the other day. But let’s assume I am right and the I am wrong.
If I am right, and Vladimir Putin is the best of these leaders, then Russia and the world are in great peril from an evil worse than any dictator. If Murdock and people like him can incite world war (hot or cold) then they control the world.
Now let’s assume I am wrong. Let’s assume Putin is evil. If he is, then the worst we can hope for is an extenuation of what Russia was up to BEFORE Ukraine. What would that be, making money off Russia’s own resources? Controlling the sphere of influence just at her borders? Trying to integrate with the eurozone? Working with the United States in many spheres? Creating a Russian middle class that travels to Greece, goes on vacations, emerges into the world?
Sure, there are problems inside Russia. Power leads to some degree of evil. So we are left with the lesser of evils.
Russia, with Putin, has progressed more in the last 10 years than at any time in modern history.
America, on the other hand, is just about broke.
This is my reality.
Always,
Phil
One of my Ukrainian friends said: “If people like Murdoch, Abbott, Harper and many their accomplices hate Putin so much, he must be doing something right.” I agree.
Nobody thinks that Putin is a hero – we are not that naïve – he is a politician after all. But as long as he opposes the immeasurably greedy oligarchs from the West and the East I will pay attention to every word he says and every action he takes.
In my opinion, Mr. Butler has written an informative and objective article.
Being “blinded by your loathing of the American system” has nothing to do with this. It is taking a sober view of things.
Thanks for the kind words Tania, I just want people to examine both sides.
Western governments are now colluding as a cartel led by America and attempting to create their own reality through their MSM, and they are playing a very dangerous game with the lives of millions of people both in Europe and in America itself through their meddling in Ukraine.
They have become so accustomed to fomenting “revolutions” in middle eastern countries and fighting goat herders in Afghanistan that they have started believing their own propaganda of “exceptionalism”. The EU governments no longer represent their own people and are traitors to their own citizens. Just where do they think this will eventually end up if they keep ratcheting up the tension with Russia over Ukraine ? Russia is not Afghanistan or Iraq or Libya or Syria. Russia too can also do “shock and awe” lest we forget. What I personally and I am sure most right thinking people do too find most sickening is their utter stomach churning hypocrisy and double standards. In their books its ok for Kosovo to split from Serbia but Crimea not from a fascist Kiev, its ok for them to flood Kiev with “advisers” and military aid but not ok for Russia to help the separatists in the east, I could go on. I honestly believe America is willing to push Europe into another conflagration and their puppets in the EU leadership are all co-opted to go along with it.
Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first drive insane. The gods have driven the west insane.
Hi Peter, thanks for coming and saying this for me. I’ve watched for 50 years America transformed into a money making machine for the ultra rich. The condition of the people is hidden from them. Americans are propped up by the unrealistic cheapness of capitalistic excess. They are drugged into allowing a type of Imperialism more sinister than any world war was. Imagine a land of zombies fed by the blood of the world’s poor, off some King Zombie’s machinations for power and wealth.
This is the reality of my country now. The only problem for the King Zombies is, America is running out of resources and places to suck blood from. The corporate Frankenstein need profit, and Russia is in the way.
Sorry for the metaphors but this is my thinking.
You only need go back to the 1st World War:

monologue offended person. Alas, he did not live in the country Putin has not worked in the Soviet factory, did not stand in line for food. its accumulation is not depreciated immediately several times each during the crisis. he does not pay bribes to officials that they would carry out their duties. the police did not extort money from him cheating by using the power and authority. he was arrested for 15 days for having applauded the street in solidarity with those who opposed the president. B. Obama – a wonderful man, I envy the Americans. if you do not like your president, and like our Putin – let’s make the exchange.
No, this article is similar to the PR
Aleksandr, Thanks for coming to comment. As a public relations expert, there is no doubt a lot of PR being used in the east and west. However, the negative connotation of “PR” is not applied in Russia, like it is in the US and the UK. Vladimir Putin is 10 times more transparent than Obama, for instance.
This article attempts to show the men behind the puppets in the west. In Russia, the puppeteer is the man in charge. There is a huge difference.
Thanks again, for sharing your view.
Hi Aleksandr,
Thanks for your view here. All I can say is, like any country’s politics, there are going to be people unhappy with outcomes. I am sure, for many reasons, Vladimir Putin has detractors in his own country. As for Barack Obama and the other US leadership, I can assure you the road to their power is strewn with broken promises, dreams, and people.
I will not go into exactly his transgressions against Americans, but having been a most loyal subject myself, it’s clear the “Dream” is over. Russia, on the other hand, with strong leadership, can become what America was supposed to be. This is my view.
Don’t envy the misguided Alek.
Always,
Phil
Bravo. Excellent article. I hope that Americans will read it too.
Hi Programmer, thanks for taking your time to come and say so. I have a pretty big network outside my personal blog here, so many know what I know.
Always,
Phil
Yes. It’s true. Thanks for this article!
YW Alessandro, thank you.
Great article. You don’t have to be Russian to see what is happening here. It’s just so sad to see what this world has become. I think the US for a long long time, has lost its understanding that however hard it tries to rule the world and the people living in it, Mother earth will not allow this to happen. There is only one God who rules this planet and one day we will pay for the way we have destroyed what was once beautiful.
Thanks for taking the time to come and comment Carmel. I agree with you, and appreciate your kind words. All we can do is try to balance these equations.
Always,
Phil
Sometimes I think it pays to look at the ‘Esoteric’ behind the ‘Exoteric’
Did you know that The Economist magazine, which failed to predict the crash of 2008,(wink,wink), managed tp predict the ‘Arab Spring’ of 2011?
It got the country wrong, but everything else looks quite prophetic.
A 21st Century scenario
The final piece in this ‘Syriana puzzle’ is provided by an article in The Economist of London that appeared in December 1992 in the aftermath of the First Gulf War and the collapse of the USSR. Whereas the Testament of Peter the Great was a fake document from the past, this 1992 article was a ‘fake’ view of the future in that it was a so-called imaginary scenario of what would happen in the world by the middle of the 21st century. But once again, as with the Testament, this imaginary scenario bears a remarkable resemblance to what has actually been unfolding, in this case, since 9/11, and therefore, like the Testament, it seems to bear the imprint of insight and knowledge that emerges from unseen, if not to say ‘occult’ (i.e. hidden) directions. The 1992 Economist scenario described a military coup in Saudi Arabia that would break out in the year 2011, the effects of which would spread throughout the Middle East and Central Asia, leading to the eventual emergence of “a new Muslim entity”, a united “Muslim power” (predominantly Sunni), which would ally itself with China to attack Russia and the West over the next decades. These developments that began in 2011 would lead to a major Eurasian continental war between the West (USA & Europe) and the East (Muslim entity & China) by about 2050, the main victim of which would be Russia in the middle. According to this scenario, Russia would lose all its territory east of the Urals and would become a purely European state. (N.b. this would enable it to be drawn in the future into a European Union allied to the USA). Besides the flashpoint of 2011, the scenario specifically mentions the date 2014, when “a bungled Anglo-French expedition to Antioch failed to prevent the invasion of Turkey. The forces of the New Caliphate swept up to the Bosphorus, and in the war of the Sanjak (2016), established their first bridgehead in south-eastern Europe.” The ancient city of Antioch, whose converts were the first to be called “Christians”, is currently a ruin outside Antakya, Turkey, but it was always traditionally regarded as a Syrian city.
In the event, the Arab Spring of 2011 was sparked in Tunisia and really took off in Egypt, next door to Saudi Arabia, but nevertheless, it was indeed a military coup in effect, and this has only been underlined by the Egyptian events of 2013 and the army’s ousting of President Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. The significant point, however, is the timing indicated – 2011 and the claim that a major anti-western radical force would emerge from the Muslim world. There are many esoteric references in this Economist article which suggest occult knowledge, and I have analysed it in detail in my book Mapping the Millennium (1998, reissued 2013). One can well ask whether the Arab Spring which got underway in 2011 is not in fact intended to destroy the old Middle Eastern states of the post-World War One era so that a new pan-Muslim radical entity can arise, based on rage and resentment against the West, rather as the Bolsheviks replaced the so-called ‘Democrats’ in the two revolutions in Russia in 1917. This new entity would supply the West with a major new eastern ‘Green’ antagonist to replace the ‘Reds’ of the Cold War – a prospect that the giant western arms manufacturers of the military-industrial complex would only welcome, not to mention those companies that can look forward to the business of reconstruction in countries that have been devastated by wars. The graph below shows only too clearly the relation between war and US corporate profits.

THE BOOK OF REVELATION and the Work of the Priest
Eighteen lectures, conversations
and question-and-answer sessions
in Dornach from 5 to 22 September 1924,
When the apocalyptist contemplates this phenomenon he sees favourable effects from one comet and unfavourable effects from another rising up before his spiritual vision. The Beast will be let loose from its imprisonment in the earth; that is what the comet is in the cosmic sense. That the Beast will be let loose is significant for the development of human beings. Such things are exceedingly powerful realities, great and significant points in the evolution of humanity and of the earth.
In 1933, dear friends, there would be a possibility for the earth and everything living on it to perish if there did not exist also that other wise arrangement that cannot be calculated. Once comets have taken on other forms calculations can no longer be accurate. What needs to be said in the sense meant by the apocalyptist is: Before the Etheric Christ can be comprehended by human beings in the right way, humanity must first cope with encountering the Beast who will rise up in 1933.

Steiner went on to talk about the occult significance of the year 1998.
Perhaps evolution is not what we thought?
Thank You, Phil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You, Phil !!!
My pleasure Vyacesiav. We must have these conversations and alternative views.
It is hard,and a special blessing,to belong and love equally both countries – to be native to one,and be citizen to another,- in current situation.I’ve never liked Putin,but now came to admire and be proud of him as a strong,very rational and wise leader,and yes,a skillful politician too.And my heart cries for American people,who do not understand,what’s going on,not so much between the countries,but in their own one,-only because are not used to think and analyze…
i have been following a few journalists,who also write honestly as you,Phil,do,out of real love for America,out of concern for her.Love for the country can’t not be blind,it will not help…
Thank you so much for this article,Phil,your voice is precious!
@Galina, you are so kind, so insightful. I was first attacked, then banned from an American Community Action site called Daily KOS this weekend for simply pointing to this same article. The trolls there said I was not even American, harped on a typo in my profile, suggested I go back to RT, take Putin’s money, and so forth.
My countrymen, many at least, have become mean, nasty, closed minded to even their own corrupted political system. Everyone has a vested interest in some political party, some business, or simply in the concept of being right. It is sad. The two thirds who are genuine people, they are hopelessly apathetic. This is why they do not vote, there is no reason to. They understand ALL the politicians are crooks. They’ve lost hope, but just don’t want any trouble.
The United States of America once held the torch of freedom, the hope there could be such a thing as world peace, true freedom, and liberty across the planet. We were once the beacon of light on a dark, dark world full of tyranny. Now, the corporations have taken over. We are the tyrants, and without even knowing. Wars fuel the arms manufacturing moguls, who further invest in the energy industry.
We are in dire trouble Galina, and hardly anyone is going anything about it. Vladimir Putin, for all his wealth and oligarch friends, is an honorable and humble man. Like you, I was very skeptical of him some years back. Today, there is no other leader who can hold a candle to him. We should aspire to have leaders like this in America. We do not though.
Thank you for coming to say your mind Galina, and for your so kind comments and understanding. I am sure, that in the end, our small contributions make a difference. So everyone knows, while this is a tiny personal blog, I see Washington and the Kremlin come to read… your voices are heard.
Always,
Phil
I just want to thank your father for such an obstinate man like you. Be careful please. And sorry for my ugly english
🙂 Thanks Yo-yo, now that is a term I have not heard in years. “Obstinate” is precisely what my Dad used to call me sometimes. He was this way also, albeit a lot more brilliant and knowing than I. One reason for my dogged approach to all this Russia hate is, I was fairly “obstinate” in the other direction once. So, I think the world needs to follow my example. Somehow this makes sense to me.
What could it hurt, after all? We could be in debt up to our ears, at war, and ruining the planet with toxic waste. Oh, that’s right, we already are.
Thanks very much for your comment Yo, I so appreciate it.
Always,
Phil
Hello Philip,
many people in Russia were impressed by your article.
I would like to tell you what people are discussing in the russian segment of internet. Perhaps it would be interesting for you. (I beg your pardon for my poor english again.)
So
Abola is a project of CIA, TNCs and FRS.
Why they need this project?
They want Abama to have a formal reason to declare quarantine and set soldiers at streets of american towns.
Why they need that?
Because there will be a big economic crisis in USA in 2015 year and disturbances can start.
So that’s the way they want to control the situation in USA.
Trying to postpone the crisis TNCs and FRS embark on shady enterprises in the all points in the planet. For example having Cyria and Crim TNCs would control some of the points of New Silk Way. Putin just did not allow them to get them.
So
You should know that Putin does not fight against Abama. Putin does not plan to dig out a grave for mr. Abama:) Putin does not fight against Abama because Putin understand quite well that Abama is not an independent person. All Abama’s decisions are not Abama’s decisions. Abama only speak what TNCs want him to.
Putin tryes to fight against TNCs and bankers. Not against America and of course not against americans. Abama and european leaders are afraid to be killed by TNCs and FRS as JFK was killed when hi tryed to nationalize FRS. That’s why they cannot support Putin openly. But please do not pay attention to their aggressive rhetoric against Putin. That’s not their words. They just have to speak them.
Well that is what people say in Russia.
B/R, Yo
Dear Phil,
почитала Ваши статьи, пишете очень интересно и разносторонне. Грустно, что “энергетический империализм” требует столько крови и формирует совершенно ложный образ врага – русского для США и американского для России. Никто кроме вполне конкретных людей от этого не выигрывает. Спасибо ещё раз за Ваш блог, остаётся надежда, что мир ещё не до конца сошёл с ума.
