Trump v. Hillary on Russia
Hillary’s likely ascension
to power next year risks belligerent confrontation with Russia, possible
nuclear war. Putin earlier warned of “being pulled in an irreversible
direction.”
His warning remains
unheeded. Hillary’s anti-Russia hostility risks the unthinkable. Trump’s
worldview could save humanity from crossing a catastrophic red line of no
return, on Monday saying:
“Frankly, if we got along
with Russia, and knocked out ISIS, that would be a good thing, not a bad
thing.”
“Now, if there’s anything
with Russia, they say Russia loves Donald Trump. Putin loves Donald Trump. And
they insult him constantly. I mean, no wonder he can’t stand Obama and Hillary
Clinton.”
“But, it is a very serious
problem. I think…It’s the worst situation we’ve had with Russia since the end
of the Cold War by far.”
“The problem is, Putin has
no respect for Obama at all. Doesn’t like him and doesn’t respect him. And
Obama doesn’t like Putin. They have a great dislike for each other…And I think
that, you have potentially a very catastrophic situation here.”
“If I win on November 8th…I
could see myself meeting with Putin and meeting with Russia prior to the start
of the administration.”
These type comments and
similar ones result in critics calling him “soft on Russia…the Kremlin’s man…an
unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.”
Chess champion/Russian
dissident/CIA asset Garry Kasparov called Trump a “perfect agent of
chaos…threaten(ing) not only democracy in (America) but democracy worldwide” if
elected president in November - a “perfect (Putin) counterpart.”
Trump favors normalized
relations with Russia over confrontation, peace between the world’s dominant
nuclear powers, not potentially cataclysmic war - the thermonuclear arsenals of
each country able to end life on earth if unleashed.
Who would you prefer leading
America at a crucial time in world history - an emotionally unstable neocon war
goddess with her finger on the nuclear trigger or a businessman favoring world
peace? A simple choice!

US and UK Want RT
International Silenced
by Stephen Lendman
America, Britain and their
rogue partners want total control over information dissemination, alternative
voices silenced - things headed incrementally in this direction.
A major false flag ahead may
rip the mask off their Machiavellian intentions entirely, a death blow for
fundamental freedoms following - most people none the wiser, foolishly
believing rights lost are a small sacrifice for greater security, not realizing
both are lost once the trap is sprung.
UK-controlled NatWest Bank
didn’t close RT’s accounts of its own volition. It obeyed government orders,
likely a joint US/British decision.
Sergey Lavrov weighed in,
saying “(i)t’s as clear as day that this decision was not made by” NatWest. And
not any other bank. (Financial institutions) don’t make such decisions on their
own” - not when their actions have geopolitical implications.
Without elaborating on how
Russia may respond, Lavrov added it’s not wise to “treat others the way you
don’t wish to be treated yourself.”
His Foreign Minister
separately called “squeezing alternative voices out of the UK media space” by
its government violates Britain’s obligation to preserve media freedom as a
fundamental human right under the 1975 Helsinki Accords, stating:
Thirty-five signatories,
including all European nations, America and Canada “will respect human rights
and fundamental freedoms, including the freedom of thought, conscience,
religion or belief, for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or
religion.”
“They will promote and
encourage the effective exercise of civil, political, economic, social,
cultural and other rights and freedoms all of which derive from the inherent
dignity of the human person and are essential for his free and full
development.”
They’ll “recognize the
universal significance of human rights and fundamental freedoms, respect for
which is an essential factor for the peace, justice and well-being necessary to
ensure the development of friendly relations and co-operation among themselves
as among all States…”
Citing no sources, The Times
of London said Moscow threatened to close the BBC’s accounts in retaliation for
NatWest’s action.
Of greatest concern is where
all this may be heading. Totalitarian societies ban media freedom and all
others. Is this what Western societies
intend?
America and most others
already are police states. Do they plan eliminating scant remaining freedoms
altogether?
Each shot across the bow
brings us one step closer, maybe the final coup de grace coming sooner than
imagined.
