John McCain

US Media Squashes Drug Busted McCain Fundraiser Story

April 28, 2016 by Phil Butler Leave a Comment

Good morning, and welcome to the Today Show! Or perhaps, “This is 60 Minutes!” Maybe you take your dose of American top news from Fox, CNN, or the mighty New York Times? But wherever you get your ideas on what’s going on in the world, don’t expect to hear controversial news about Arizona Senator John McCain this morning. How is it, that in the middle of a heated re-election campaign, a US Senator with alleged meth dealers on his staff, gets to slide past front page headlines?

Headline: “John McCain fundraiser arrested in Phoenix meth lab bust”

Google News results show NOBODY in media wanted you to know McCain’s campaign is in any way linked to elicit drug trafficking.

If you looked for the McCain’s political campaign fundraiser, Emily Pitha in Google News at Midnight EST, 27 April, 2016 you would have found exactly 39 news articles. No, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, not even CNN is covering right now. Even more interestingly, the Arizona Republic (AZCentral) does NOT have John McCain’s face spread all over the politics page, let along its front page. The only story featured in Arizona’s leading online newspaper is one of McCain looking all politically powerful, with the headline, “Fighters in Nevada will be required to join brain study, McCain says” – and that’s it. The Gawker, small ABC affiliates in Arizona, The Epoch Times, and a few medium sized media entities run the headline. Let me allow you to reset.

SQUASHED - Top News shows no signs of the blockbuster story — SQUASHED – Top News shows no signs of the blockbuster story

Now get this. A US Senator for 29 years, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, a past Republican Party presidential nominee, member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, one of Washington’s most powerful leaders has an accused dope distributor as a campaign fundraiser, and NOBODY runs with the front page news? N-O-B-O-D-Y!

In contrast, searching for the news term “Vladimir Putin” at 1 AM Eastern Standard Time I get about 300 stories from major mainstream media about the Russian president’s disappointment at a rocket launch. The New York Times, all the majors cover, a technical difficulty at the new Vostochny launch facility in the Amur Region in Russia’s Far East is blown up into some USSR era craziness, while America’s pitifully corrupted political system melts away.

Yesterday American media had Vladimir Putin ready to sentence his space people to the gulags over a typical launch delay. Today only Russian media cares the Soyuz rocket launched to Putin’s congratulations today. Somehow a US Senator in the middle of a heated re-election race, gets off the hook!!!

The separation complete. McCain positive veteran savior, while the drug dealing assistant takes up her own tiny story.

The skinny on McCain’s jailbird campaign helper is that Emily Pitha, 34, and her boyfriend, Christopher Hustrulid, were taken into custody Tuesday by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office after detectives said they found drugs and an apparent meth lab in the home. The former pre-school teacher has since been fired from the McCain fundraising roster, but she is a long time Arizona political fixture, having worked for other top Republican politicians in Arizona. She was working for LovasCo, a consulting group led by Arizona political operative Corrine Lovas.

Pitha is charged with manufacturing methamphetamines, possession of LSD, heroin, and cocaine, numerous suspicious chemicals, possession of counterfeit currency, and child endangerment for allowing minors access to the aforementioned drugs.

Why is McCain not instantly ruined?

The Lawless Ukraine: Mythological Democracy

February 21, 2016 by Phil Butler 5 Comments

An article at Global Security by Margaret Kimberley in 2014 casts American democracy in its true colors. The “will of the people carries no weight in the United States,” according to the author. In Ukraine however, a fledgling democracy that’s now convoluted past reason, “the people” are abhorrently obscured. Fascism, extremists in the extreme, the ongoing debacle the United States and her allies instituted in the former Soviet republic leaves millions of lives shattered. There is no disputing this.

An RT video I watched this morning tells us in vivid multimedia, how the rule of law in the land of ruthless oligarchs has been suspended. To celebrate the 2nd anniversary of Maidan revolution our government stoked, extreme right wing nationalists wrecked a Russian bank in Kiev under the watchful eyes of Poroshenko’s government. The red and black arm insignia, the Nazi field caps, camouflage fatigues and the stomping black boots of freewheeling hooligans recalls images of the brown shirts of Adolf Hitler, and the 1930’s. Right there in Kiev, the everyday people must surely be subdued, scared to death to utter a peep. My God what has our government set in place in capitals around the world.

The fear and suppression of the people of Ukraine is not limited to Kiev, Odessa, Karkhiv or the badlands bordering the Donbass. In a Tweet from pianist Valentina Lisitsa I read this morning, MPs from the Vinnitsa region of that country were accused of killing a score of protected bison, poaching with high powered rifles defenseless animals the locals had grown to love. For fear of reprisals, the farmer and witnesses who tried to save the poor animals will not testify now (in Russian). In another video, an old lady, living under constant Ukro-artillery fire, curses the OSCE’s Alexander Hug for ignoring the ongoing rain of death the people of Novorossiya are subjected to. In that video the OSCE bureaucrat has the unmitigated audacity to demand the woman speak to him respectfully. And this, after the NATO puppet OSCE has chickened out at every opportunity, to mediate this madness.

US Senator John McCain with Oleh Tyahnybok, Ukraine’s most influential Nazi. This US Senator should be dragged out of his offices in Washington and banished from our shores.

In villages from Dobrotworsky to the destruction by Ukraine Army shelling of a school in the small village of Zaytsevo village, the lawlessness continues. And all the while backed by the EU, America, the Brits, and under the watchful eyes of the United Nations and other multinational organizations. To add insult to injury, the freedom fighters of the Donbass, Vladimir Putin, anyone but the real perpetrators of this human catastrophe are blamed. For anyone objectively looking on, it’s like watching the greatest injustice ever perpetrated taking place in an arena of death. Gunfire resonates underneath a so-called “Minsk ceasefire” – and across Ukraine proper, Nazis and other fascist groups are paid to exact terror on citizens. It’s as if the mafia had taken over, and a protection racket allowed to prosper in a supposedly free land. My friend, investigative journalist Graham Phillips just now reported a Ukraine radio station broken into, the “freedom” of speech there infringed up by terror. A group of militants stormed the TV station Channel 17, claiming to be employees of the SBU, and ruined dissenting journalist Andriy Pavlovsky’s operation there.

Graham Phillips delivers a quadcopter to Vanya Voronov, one of countless people the journalists has helped recover their lives. President Vladimir Putin personally granted little Vanya Russian citizenship, and the boy blown to pieces by the Nazis got treatment for his wounds at Russia’s finest clinic.

I read another Tweet, about the last surviving prisoner of the horrid Nazi concentration camp Treblinka passing away at 93. Samuel Willenberg was taken to the camp in Poland in 1942, aged just 19, and survived the gas chambers only because he told guards he was a builder. His passing somehow shakes me awake. How can the nation of Israel, or the Jewish community at large, fail to rise up and dash Washington or London methods in securing so-called freedom! It is inconceivable to me. There’s a holocaust museum in every major city on this world, but Nazis and fascists of every description are proxy warriors for western governments! This is ever true of Israel, now that I think about it. But there’s an inconvenient truth, let someone disprove it to me.

Lies, diversions, turning a blind eye, the western world has abandoned peoples, nations, the heart of our world for profit, gain, so that soulless bankers may snatch up what remains of our collective heritage. We die in the millions, are rendered homeless, and our children will never realize what potential they might have, all in the name of a fallacy. Democracy does not exist anywhere on this world. But people like the Bush clan, the Clinton duo, Barack Obama and his Wall Street handlers use the rumor of it to destroy us. Yes, they literally destroy us without even a peep from the so-called “silent majority” of us. Meanwhile heroes like my friend Russell Bonner Bentley (Texas) and his comrades on the ground in Eastern Ukraine fight, give, and try and help build a nation out of the ashes Americans caused. The video below was banned by YouTube, so Russ had to put it on Vimeo. This is what one man from Texas can do, when millions sit on their asses and do nothing.

I always tell people who ask me about “How can we know who is right or wrong?” – “Follow the blood trail,” I tell them, “for it leads to the victims.” America is not under attack, we have no ruined villages and dead children to bury. The blood trail leads away from us, not toward our bitter graveyards. Our only dead lay buried at Arlington and such places, heroic victims of the worst lie in history. Millions have died, billions have been affected, so that Nazism could prevail?

Now Syria is ruined forever. Libya, Iraq, and others, Yugoslavia is gone forever, nations are at one another’s throats again, terror is unabated – and the Russians fight aided by only Iran and what’s left of Syria’s real army. Somehow Russia is alone in this, how the hell can that be? The Pope and the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church prayed and aligned a billion Christians the other day in Cuba, but most newspapers failed to notice. The battle line is clear though, I fear the godless of the world are about to earn their wages. I for one am not on their side, this is abundantly clear for me and my family.

Texas delivers some joy to the little boy of Anna Tuv, who lost her arm because of a Kiev Junta shelling. My question for Kitchko and the others is, “Where is your charity and kindness?” Follow the pain, the blood, and the true sacrifice to find your truth, your heroes.

Ukraine though, the horrors I’ve been witness to via my comrades in Novorossiya, they haunt me. Why the people have not already ousted rulers from Britain to Bahrain over all this, I cannot fathom actually. Maybe there are just too many cowards out there? I’ll end this piece today with a pitiful footnote to Maidan and the Ukraine disaster. One of the key figures seen continually with McCain, Victoria Nuland, and the pond scum America sent to Ukraine, Tyson Fury has claimed a sheikh in Dubai offered to host his world heavyweight title rematch with Vladimir Klitschko was always a puzzlement for me. Boxers being wonderful athletes usually, just who in the hell ever listened to one over their brilliant political philosophies? I guess we see now, what runs our world. A news bit the other day foretells of some Dubai billionaire willing to pay the Kiev freedom fighter and heavyweight Tyson Fury r $120 million bucks to do their rematch aboard his private yacht.

Oh my, the class acts Kiev showcased for us all. Bought and sold, every last one, in the name of a mythological ideal…. As Margaret Kimberley puts it; “It’s about time for something new.”

The Costly Truth Most Americans Avoid

October 3, 2015 by Phil Butler 2 Comments

What if every American decided to change the world? What if America went back in time to become a place where being excellent was hard? What if being “exceptional” took more fortitude than nodding one’s head when America’s president filled up the TV screen proclaiming greatness? Hell, the world would be changed instantly. Well, here’s a call for the real America to stand up, and finally.

What would you say if a politician said; “Give me $10 so I can fund terrorists who kill women and children in far off places like Syria, Ukraine, Iraq, or Gaza?” I guess a better question is; “Would you kill a child to protect your country from an enemy who will never attack you?” The answer to both of these questions is sadly, yes. American’s do not care, by and large, who has to suffer or die, as long as the status quo is maintained. It is within this complacency that the arms manufacturers and energy brokers, along with the bankers ramrod world terror and chaos. You might be saying right about now, “That just doesn’t make sense.” But you know I am telling the truth, you just don’t want to hear it.

Bush, Obama, Clinton, Bush — You know the truth, you must.

Well too bad. Leave and go shop at Walmart if you don’t want to hear it. This will not change by even an iota, the fact your complacency has killed people, torn families apart, made America weaker, not stronger. Ask yourself the question, “What is a patriot?” No, don’t scoff, really ask yourself the definition of this idea of patriotism. The simple Merriam Webster definition of “love for or devotion to one’s country,” this idea leaves much to be desired, and explored. I immediately recount a dear friend asking me “why I am being so unpatriotic,” in dissenting on Obama policies toward Russia. To wit my answer was, “Am I a patriot to watch my country destroyed?” But the words of slain President John F. Kennedy serve better to illustrate my call here. Speaking on a form of “exceptionalism” back in the 50s and 60s, JFK is quoted as saying;

“When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man’s concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.”

Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ford — The seeds of America’s failed policies go back beyond Nixon, but this image of President Gerald Ford (center) meets with Chief of Staff Donald Rumsfeld (left) and then-Deputy-Chief of Staff Dick Cheney speaks 1000 words about America’s continual wars – how could our policies ever change?

Now for those of you steadfast enough to read this far, your concept of patriotism may be supporting our troops overseas, or it could be wearing an American flag lapel pin to school. For those of you in this mindset, what I am about to say will upset you. Perhaps.

Then the twin towers went down on the Island of Manhattan, the peace for over a decade was shattered. Whether or not the event played out this way or that, the fact 2,996 people lost their lives is fact. Certainly, there were many others who were affected. In fact, all of us Americans were, are, affected each day by those events. But the actions taken by George W. Bush in the aftermath, they were ill advised, wrong, a disaster of monumental proportions. And we the American people, have never owned up to this. The Bush administration lied to America. There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, Saddam Hussein, had nothing whatever to do with 9/11. Even the intervention in Afghanistan has proved disastrous my friends, and Al-Qæda not only lives, but is now being funded by the Obama administration in Syria. President Kennedy mentioned poetry, so let me interject a literary bit on patriotism by the legendary Mark Twain;

“Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about.”

Is this you? Come on, that’s a simple enough question. Did George W. Bush and his colleagues count on you not knowing? You bet your sweet ass they did, and here’s what happened.

The United States and the coalition invaded Afghanistan. To date there have been 3,407 coalition men and women killed. That’s a few hundred more than those who perished on Manhattan.
Civilian casualties in Afghanistan documented from 2001 to today include; 26,000 dead, another 30,000 wounded, and as many as 320,000 or more overall that have not been catalogued.
US taxpayers will pay for decades to come, on the $1 trillion dollar price tag for accomplishing absolutely nothing – Al-Queda is still warring in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and elsewhere.
Since George W. Bush ordered the US military to take over Iraq, there have been 4,425 US service personnel killed and over 32,000 wounded.
Civilian death tolls vary greatly, but it’s accepted that as many as 1,000,000 people have died as a direct result of the fight for Iraq.
Experts agree, by the time all is said and done, the actions in Iraq will have cost in excess of $6 trillion dollars. That 6 thousand billion dollars.
ISIL, Al Nusra, and Al-Queda still roam the deserts of Eastern Syria and Northern Iraq.

Are you still one of Mark Twain’s “patriots?” If so, read on. Returning to JFK for a moment, he also is quoted as having told an Amherst College audience, only a month before his assassination;

“I look forward to a great future for America – a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.”

Osama bin Laden 1981 — Then National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski with Osama bin Laden in 1981.

Moral restraint, wisdom, and our purpose. Oh my, how far we have fallen. Today a new Cold War rages. It’s not a war brought on by the Russians, as corporate media in the West would have you believe. Instead, it’s the same war that George W. Bush began waging the day after 9/11. Today, the Barack Obama administration does not even deny CIA support and arms for the anti-Assad extremists inside Syria and in the North of Iraq. The money trail was documented by WikiLeaks from before 2006, when Bush funded Assad’s opposition. I could go on and on, laying out for you the US’s influence on Arab Spring, Libya’s bloodbath, the upheaval in Egypt, Ukraine, and the murder going on in Yemen and in Gaza. But you already have the evidence, just follow the dead bodies to find the victims. Then ask, “Who funded or armed the killers?” As for your patriotic fervor, one of America’s greatest military leaders, General Douglas MacArthur has your answer;

“Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear – kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor – with the cry of grave national emergency.”

It’s all right in front of you, right here on the Internet. And my grip with my countrymen is, they’re too lazy, selfish and spoiled to notice, let alone care. I know, some of you are saying; “Hey buddy, not me!” But really now, what did you do to sway the Neocons away from the killing fields? Did you buy Obama just because he was Oprah’s pal one time? Or is it easier to simply pretend America is great, simply because you live there?

The great French general and president, Charles de Gaulle encapsulated the situation we see today perfectly;

“Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.”

Medvedev with Obama on June 24, 2010. Plans were already underway to double deal the Russians.

I bet some of you still don’t believe me. I’ll bet a few reading this have uttered how unpatriotic I am too. Others of you, I hope and pray, will perform the same self evaluation of “understanding” that I have. You have the words of great men. You know that the politicians are trained to lie. And you cannot ignore the mounting evidence, that all I have claimed here is true. The reality is:

General and later President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned in his farewell speech of the might of the military industrial complex – we ignored him
JFK refused t0 commit to Vietnam, he was killed, America went anyway.
58,220 Americans died in Vietnam, hundreds of thousands were marred for life, and for no purpose whatever.
Osama bin Laden was empowered and created by the United States as a thorn in the side of the USSR in Afghanistan – then he was our enemy.
Saddam Hussein was America’s friend versus Iran, the Donald Rumsfeld and Bush betrayed the former friend and invaded Iraq.
The Bush White House begins funding Arab Spring uprisings across the region, including WikiLeaks disclosed funding for anti-Assad groups as early as 2006.
Obama entertained then Russian President Dmitry Mededev with Vladimir Putin in the wings (remember open mic story) then back stabbed Russia after Arab Spring took hold.
Obama’s administration continued and escalated Bush’s campaign against Syrian President Assad even before the US planned withdrawal from Afghanistan. The CIA is supply Al-Queda and ISIL with what they need to destroy Assad.
Vladimir Putin and Russia have intervened throwing a monkey wrench in the regime change the US and Israel, France and Britain have planned for some time.

Oil and Gas — SYRIAN OIL AND GAS NEWS: Announcement for International Offshore Bid Round 2011 Category: Oil Ministry Decisions & Declarations | Posted on: 30-03-2011 The Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources and General Petroleum Corporation (GPC) invite international petroleum companies for an International Bid Round to explore, develop and produce petroleum from three offshore blocks in some areas of the territorial waters and the exclusive economic zone of the Syrian Arab Republic in the Mediterranean Sea according to the production sharing contract.

This pretty much brings you up to date on where American foreign policy stands today. What you suspected, but have not been informed about, is the energy aspect of all this killing. The fact new and massive natural gas and oil reserves have been discovered off Syria bears a special weight here. The map above reveals data about Syrian oil exploration that mainstream media failed to report. The offshore areas you see contain no less than 117 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and over 100 billion barrels of oil which Assad controls. The US wants him out for a multitude of reasons, but the impact Syria’s oil and gas can have on Europe and the region is astronomical, especially for the Saudis. British Dutch Royal Dutch Shell, and French Total are among the parties interested in these new fields, in case you wondered about French war planes over Syria.

I leave you with a final quotation from President Theodore Roosevelt. A soldier and a statesman, conversationist and reformer, if his words do not ring true for you, you’d better examine your own character friend. The man whose face adorns Mount Rushmore alongside those of Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln prophesied for today;

“The death-knell of the republic had rung as soon as the active power became lodged in the hands of those who sought, not to do justice to all citizens, rich and poor alike, but to stand for one special class and for its interests as opposed to the interests of others.”

Now examine please, who is benefiting from all this death and carnage on our planet. In the answer you’ll find true American patriotism and liberty ringing.

Five Huge Reasons It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

February 24, 2015 by Phil Butler 29 Comments

I remember when I was 8 years old there was this movie, It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, starring Spencer Tracy and an all-star cast. The zany comedy, a rambling epoch of slapstick errors and twists, it’s a bit of vintage Americana now. Even still, watching the world unravel right before my very eyes, as imbeciles and crooks do their daily deeds, I know the 1% would as soon drop an “F bomb” on a normal person as to look at one. I also know Hollywood could not have scripted today better than the world’s leaders. Here’s my first of many top 10 indicators we could be screwed.

The Pope — Via Andrealynne Zimmerman’s Facebook Timeline

The Holy of Holies? Holy Cow!

A friend of mine on Facebook who’s a ton of experience not only in the military, but in the study of war and its effects, shared an interesting (nay haunting) image you see above. The picture of the Holy Father before a surreal backdrop akin to science fiction… Well, it reminded me of a scene from the Keanu Reaves film “The Devil’s Advocate,” from 1997. As you can see by a mashup I made from a scene in that film below, the creepiness that was a Hollywood blockbuster seems to be coming to life these days. This is the tippy top reason the world is feeling a bit too creepy for me.

A quote from the film suffices:

“You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it can split atoms with its desire; you build egos the size of cathedrals; fiber-optically connect the world to every eager impulse; grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green, gold-plated fantasies, until every human becomes an aspiring emperor, becomes his own God… and where can you go from there?” – Al Pacino as the Devil himself

King Salman bids farewell to President Obama at his motorcade at Erga Palace. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza) — Saudi King Salman bids farewell to President Obama at his motorcade (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)

The Power of a Presidential Fart

The second biggest reason I think the world has gone mad is news that Barack Obama and the Congress are in some kind of fight over the notorious Keystone Pipeline. The environmental catastrophe in a tube US energy Titans and their Washington mouth pieces have been bent on for some time. In the dog and pony show Washington D.C. has become, the idiot public is expected to swallow yet another shell game political pitch. Republicans are whining and moaning “Obama you fool!” Meanwhile the White House spokespersons play PR games with his assured veto of the pipeline legislation.

“Babylon, oh Babylon”…. Poppycock (Even CNBC says it does not matter). The American – Saudi oil war on Russia has dumped oil into the sewer price wise, fact is the Keystone project would deliver oil that costs more to produce than it brings. Last count it costs $85 and $110 to to such heavy oil out of the sands of Canada, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil is going for just over $76 bucks. What does this mean? It means the Washington follies you’ve all been watching are in Act III. Obama has a little over 695 days left, and there’s no sign Russia is going to wave the white flag over some lost energy billions. Obama will be long gone when the next president steps in to renew America’s desperate need for mucky thick Canada crude. I’m reminded of something Nikita Khrushchev once said:

“Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.”

Thank you very much.. The King - AKA Elvis Putin — Thank you very much.. The King – AKA Elvis Putin performs “Suspicious Minds”

Vladimir Putin the Reality Show

Forty years ago. Okay, forty five. If Vladimir Putin had been in the mainstream back then, first of all he’d have had to have pork chop sideburns. Second, he’d have had to wear Rhinestone studded , leather jump suits while riding his Harley to a Vegas performance. Back in the day the only figure larger than life or reality was Elvis. So, either “The King” is still alive in Vlad’s body, or our world is as crazy as a bat.

Today, when the news people in the west run out of Putin bullshit stories, editors simply publish any old story. Take the most recent one entitled; ‘Vladimir Putin is advised by ALIENS’ Councillor blames space reptiles for Ukraine crisis….. Readers of the Express have to be in awe, or staggering drunk. All I can say is, the tabloids of the 70’s won out over real journalism. Next Putin will be marrying Farah Fawcett, God rest her sweet soul. (only Boomers will get that one) Let’s face it folks, about the only thing Russia’s president has not done is to lay claim to owning Graceland. Everybody says Putin wants to be king. Hell, maybe he is.

John McCain - Caricature by DonkeyHotey — John McCain – Caricature by DonkeyHotey

Sanity Is Not Wasted On John McCain

John McCain is a simple man, a simple man with an extraordinary life that is. Like the little mouse Stewart Little, the former flyer, POW, and self proclaimed baby killer of Vietnam, he’s really out there now. “Ashamed” he is, of his country, his president, and even himself. When I read the headline I thought to myself; “Praise the Lord our God, he’s finally come clean on all those weapons deals!” Alas, the Senator from weapons systems Walmart (Arizona) only had another mental epiphany.

I hate to be hard on a veteran, especially from the Vietnam conflict. My brothers, friends and relatives served, some died there. McCain provokes crazy feelings though. Look at Ukraine! He joined a cast of baboons there that convinced decent people to slaughter one another over whether or not they live next to Russia. Now he’s mad as hell because those weapons orders aren’t streaming in. But his lunatic rantings are not the cause of my stir of madness. The fact anybody even listens to this psychopath any more, this is scaring the hell out of me. To frame what a lunatic is, let me offer a quote from John McCain on lunacy (Can you tell me WTF this even means?):

“The core political values of our free society are so deeply embedded in our collective consciousness that only a few malcontents, lunatics generally, ever dare to threaten them.”

Poor, Poor Poroshenko

The last time you applied for a decent paying job, were you asked what your qualifications were? Well, another huge reason I know Earth’s gone mad is Petro Poroshenko. Can anyone tell me what his qualifications were for running a country via what ammounted to a coup d’état? Worse still, what kind of madman would want to run the madhouse Ukraine was sure to become once Russia woke up to the NATO-EU reality? Somehow a chocolate billionaire as commander in chief of the Ukraine Armed Forces symbolizes the state of our existence now. Now, hot off of having his army destroyed by some cowboys, bikers and iron workers from the Donbass, he’s still out for blood.

Novorossiya volunteers — Texas volunteer Russell Bonner Bentley with Brazilian volunteer Mikel Oibar fighting for Novorossiya – A few brave men like these have stood against every onslaught the Kiev junta could sling at them, and WON. Thinking he can beat them makes Poroshenko the raving lunatic of the year.

News Poroshenko has sealed a deal to buy weapons from the United Arab Emirates is really mad, mad, mad. As if anybody does not know where the UAE gets their killing machines from!!! The US has figured a way to have a sort of NATO by proxy, now Ukraine will do the secret Boy Scout handshake, make blood brothers, and murder some more civilians in Donetsk. What’s craziest here is not the psychopathic numb headedness of these people, but the fact the fighters of Novorossiya will end up with even more weapons to beat Willy Wonka over the head with. Is it just me, or is this a Three Stooges reel we are watching? Ukraine shelling from a distance innocents in the Donbass, pulling a lie out to cover up a mountain of incompetencies, even a chocolate oligarch chief seems sane though, compared the the solemn fact…

UKRAINE HAS NO MONEY TO PAY THEIR GAS BILL, HOW CAN THEY BUY WEAPONS TO LOSE SOME MORE WITH!

There you are movie goers, five pretty clear reasons we are living in a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world indeed.

Shameful truth of the Ukraine civil war

February 16, 2015 by Phil Butler 22 Comments

American interests caused a civil war in Ukraine that has taken the lives of tens of thousands, and that has displaced millions more. If you cannot come to grips with this as an American, you are free to click off of this post. For that matter, you can even stay and comment below on just how righteous and exceptional you are. The irrefutable fact remains though, our leaders are killing people like bugs in Ukraine, and all over the world. Blame it all on Putin all you want, the shrapnel tells no lies.

Every time I see a picture of a little boy named Vanya, I first cringe, and then a deep seething anger arises in me. The America I grew up in, the one my father and ancestors fought for, she cannot be supporting the killing and maiming of little kids like this Ukraine child, surely not. But she is.

“Our Lady Liberty, she’s being forever tarnished by those without honor or conscience.”

Little Vanya (seen in the tweet below), he’s one of many who’s lost almost everything to shells raining down on Donetsk from the Ukrainian Armed Forces. His father and little brother were killed, and as you can see, his life was irrevocably shattered. It’s hard to even look at poor little Vanya. Pictures like these, even 5 years ago, they would not even reach the waiting public… but they do now, and by the thousands. I know the images may hurt your tender sensibilities, they do mine, but that’s just too bad. Compared to what this little boy feels, and compared to the hundreds of thousands fleeing so-called Novorossiya feel, your discomfort is nothing. In fact, you really need to be uncomfortable. Let me just level some tough love on my American comrades and countrymen.

Your head has been in the sand and up your butts too long. It’s time.

Remember Vanya? He is bravely fighting for his future, after #Ukraine army shattered his life http://t.co/U3vuHpiUkR pic.twitter.com/kvvXmQI9TA

— rui borges (@homo_viator) February 15, 2015

I know Vanya’s dad is up there in heaven about now, begging for his son’s pain to subside. You see no one knows why this little boy was spared from a grim death. Vanya will certainly be in more pain alive than with his maker. This is why I believe YOU have to look at his condition, his sweet little smile escaping a tormented body, a broken temple, one shattered by evil and greedy, and stupid men. Diplomats like the ignorant Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt, who runs amok for NATO and John Kerry, their bureaucratic brain farts, even they end up killing people. Washington think tank intellectuals spawned by the Zbigniew Brzezinskis of the western world, they should shoulder the bulk of the guilt for Ukrainians, Palestinians, Muslims, and especially for thousands of dead American soldiers. It’s undoubtedly true their grand strategies have heaped upon all our heads, the literal damnation of our once glowing creed.

A portrait of a perpetrator from the 50th Munich Security Conference 2014: Zbigniew Brzezinski (Former United States National Security Advisor; Counselor and Trustee, Center for Strategic and International Studies) History will thank you for all the killing and subterfuge.

We’ve betrayed ourselves in all this killing, these proxy wars for profit. You know it’s true. In the immortal words of late President John F. Kennedy:

“I look forward to a great future for America – a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.”

Have we restrained ourselves these last 50 years? Has our wealth been invested wisely? Is their any noble purpose to having the CIA or insurgent agents operating in 130 countries worldwide? What is Crimea and Ukraine were Canada, Mexico, or Florida even? Would we tolerate English speakers being bombed or shelled to death on our doorstep? What if the pro-Russian “terrorists” (as Kiev and Washington calls them) are freedom fighters like Sam Houston, Davy Crockett, or even George Washington himself? These are very, very BIG “what if” questions.

Now for Vanya, and make no mistake he is more important in all this than you or me, life’s meaning is all about remedy, alleviating pain, simple things like a gentle touch or a soft pillow. You see how he smiles through all of this, don’s you. Well, let me be a bit more provocative here, just so you get a bit of a fire in your belly.

When Barack Obama wanted to be elected President of the United States, he told voters “the buck would stop with him.” He’s said this a dozen times since then. Well Mr. President, all I want to know is, “can you face the music?” Is there enough man, humanity, honor, or just plain arrogance in you to accept Vanya’s tears as America`s? Can you undergo the scrutiny of his loved ones, for he cannot see you to cast a hurtful eye upon you. Yes, the buck for all this perpetual war stops right there in the Oval Office. Deny it, feign democracy and freedom ringing if you will, but we know these are all lies now. Afghanistan to Benghazi or Mozambique, greedy fingers are into business all over, and the business of my country’s capital has been killing for decades. Washington, London, Berlin, and Brussels knew all along what was going to happen in Ukraine. The leaked conversation below between EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton and the Estonian foreign affairs minister below is but one real piece of evidence to this, there are a great many others.

“Power with a moral purpose,” this was what Kennedy meant. The purpose of the Maidan uprising, the reason for Ukraine’s civil war, the leveling of all those sanctions on Russia, a world on the brink of another world war, it’s all too clear now Mr. President….. your desk is full to the ceiling of the White House with unaccounted for deeds. The instant the American people ask themselves some simple, elegant questions, you sir will stand to account for them. You and all those who colluded to steal liberty from the outstretched arm of Lady Liberty herself. My fellow Americans, ponder my logic if you will.

What if Senator John McCain and that Victorian Nuland person (above), and the EU’s EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton had not even visited Kiev? What if Ukraine had simply refused to join the EU, and instead joined the Eurasian Economic Union? What if the United States government and business interests had simply left Ukraine be more Russian than European? As former President Ronald Reagan once said; “would they be better off?” Would we? Ukraine would be governed by a billionaire oligarch. The country would have problems as before, but the people would be at peace. Europe would not be threatened, millions would not be affected, Crimea would be Ukrainian, Russians would be traveling to Paris and London this summer, and poor little Vanya and his family would enjoy a beach vacation. Now, instead of peace and normalcy, Ukraine and the world is subjected to the most massive propaganda campaign ever carried out. The next two images reveal this, in the most subtle, yet impactful way. The EU, the United Nations, and UNICEF by collaboration, want you to think they are the salvation of the victims of this.

Meanwhile, as BBC and other western media convey the altruism of the EU and UNICEF, a million refugees head to Russia, no Kiev, and hundreds of Russian trucks deliver medicines and even Christmas toys to war torn east Ukraine. The visual lie, this is the key component of what amounts to information warfare from London, Brussels, and Washington.

There are other simple questions one might ask, but in your heart you know who is guilty in all this. I can only accept blame for not having organized a massive peace demonstration in Washington. Or, for not snatching up my rifle and backpack, and heading to Donbass to help defend the Alamo. You, the reader who has stood by and watched, your own guilt should be established within, as mine is. As for Barack Obama, the Congress of the United States of America, the European Commission, NATO leaders, western media moguls, and all those who’ve exacerbated this conflict… you’re all guilty as hell. You had the power to stop this, to save little Vanya, and you feathered your own beds.

You’re all damned for not having stood up in the face of tyranny and lies, to tell the truth of this little child. All my friends recall please, the saying “truth, justice, and the American way.” I leave you with a quote from the indubitable Abraham Lincoln:

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

For Vanya: May God bless you in ways none of us can understand now. May the tears of a loving God sooth your pain, ease your shaken heart, and protect you all your remaining days. And may the world come to understand what sacrifices were offered for the undeserving and inherently evil among us.
