A Modern Novel

       A modern novel: After Mexico fell and broke up into twelve independent states, the Soviet Union began to befriend these newly formed countries. Little by little, beginning in the south, they struck up military deals with these countries. One at a time, always moving to the north, these countries began to allow nuclear missiles to be placed on their territory......... for defense. The talking points to calm the Americans were that those pesky Canadians had nukes too and couldn't be trusted so these were also for their protection and they would never be pointed at the US. After time the Soviets had bases in Baja and the United States was getting nervous. Missiles were at their southwestern border. The independent country, right next to Texas where many English speaking peoples lived and were friendly to the US, was overthrown under suspicious circumstances. This new government would allow the Soviets to set up bases there. In a not unexpected move, the US began to supply arms to these English speaking groups so that they could break away and for their own country where Spanish would not be the primary language and they would continue to be allies.

      Sound familiar?  This is Geopolitics 101: great powers are always sensitive to potential threats near their home territory. the United States does not tolerate distant great powers deploying military forces anywhere in the Western Hemisphere, much less on its borders. Imagine the outrage in Washington if China built an impressive military alliance and tried to include Canada and Mexico in it. So why does the western press make the situation in Ukraine seem any different? Putin’s actions should be easy to comprehend.  Eastern Europe and especially Ukraine are a  huge expanse of flat land that Napoleonic France, imperial Germany, and Nazi Germany all crossed to strike at Russia. Ukraine serves as a buffer state of enormous strategic importance to Russia. No Russian leader would tolerate a military alliance that was Moscow’s mortal enemy until recently moving into Ukraine. Nor would any Russian leader stand idly by while the West helped install a government there that was determined to integrate Ukraine into the West. Washington may not like Moscow’s position, but it should understand the logic behind it.

      Logic, however, is not in play here. Those of you who know the truth know that the same conspirators that are driving the crisis there, are the same ones who are taking control of American society through the media in all it's forms. The Bilderburger group, and such leaders as George Soros are the driving force in unrest in the world today. Propaganda, much of it financed by American dollars is writing history in the way they want - for profit. A report out this month has stated that the top 1% of the world owns more than 50% of the wealth and that figure is growing. Armaments for war makes huge profits and countries will readily distribute their nations treasures to defend or conquer and these are the men who get rich on death.

       Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has given a chilling assessment of a new geopolitical situation taking shape amid the Ukrainian crisis, warning of a possible new Cold War and calling the West’s approach to the crisis a “fatal mistake.” Attempting to grant Ukraine NATO membership could put Russia and the West on a collision course for war. A war that Europe would bear the brunt of which is why many European countries are balking at further instigating more retaliatory measures. The US is arm-twisting it's allies, hard, to get some return for its costly investment in a half-failed scheme to destabilize Ukraine. With each move that Russia makes the military-industrial complex, that controls Washington's policies continues tp play that old "look out for the commies" theme, just tarted up a bit so it doesn't seem laughably out of date. No matter that Russia is no longer a Communist country and would like nothing more than to be accepted in the West, because there is no profit in that. No, the anti-Russian theme will now be increasingly seen in American television and movies in 2015, for as long as it takes to dupe the public.......again.
