The Made-up "Evil" Enemy of the West, Vladimir Putin

By

      Vladimir Putin is demonized daily in the US and it's western press. As a citizen of the world I cannot stand by and allow these outright lies and vicious falsehoods to continue to be shoved down America's throat without comment. This continuing stream of propaganda is driving our planet toward a war that we may not be able to recover from and for what? Continuing profit for the western elite.

      Since WWII the United States has been the #1 arms supplier to the world. Number one by a large margin. The main enemy during this time has been touted as Russia. This narrative keeps the citizenry living in constant fear and willing to sacrifice our national treasure and our young men's lives chasing this lie. The result is that the rich get richer. Nothing changes - Perpetual war.

      You want the truth? That is why you come here. We always suggest that you read news from “outside the US sphere of influence” to gain “rest of the world's” view. Use your own critical analysis and try to see the truth through a life time of repetitive propaganda that we all have endured since childbirth.

      Russia does NOT want to be our enemy, we make it so. The elite want it so. Russia wants respect, co-operation, and to feel safe within their own borders. Here are quotes from that “evil” Valdimir Putin. Read the words-grasp their meaning. You may not have heard much of this in our press-they don't want you to see the truth.

ON DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM

"People are always teaching us democracy but the people who teach us democracy don't want to learn it themselves."

"I think: the powers like to talk about "freedom" in order to wash the population's brains."

"At least in Russia, you cannot just go and tap into someones phone conversation without a warrant issued by court. That's more or less the way a civilized society should go about fighting terrorism.”

ON FAITH

"We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord's blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal."

"I think every person should have some faith inside him, in his heart. What matters is not an external display of this faith, but the inner state of the soul."

ON LGBT

“If you want my personal attitude, I would tell you that I don't care about a person's sexual orientation.

“I myself know some people who are gay. We're on friendly terms. I'm not prejudiced in any way.”

ON RUSSIA

“I see that not everyone in the West has understood that the Soviet Union has disappeared from the political map of the world and that a new country has emerged with new humanist and ideological principles at the foundation of its existence.”

“Russia does not and cannot have any political choice but democracy. I want to say, and even stress, that we share those universal democratic principles taken around the whole world.”

“The Russian people have unilaterally made their choice in direction of democracy in the early '90s. They will not be led astray. Nobody should be having any doubts.”

"Russia does not want confrontation of any kind. And we will not take part in any kind of holy alliance."

"Russian culture is multifaceted and diverse. So if you want to understand, to feel Russia, then of course you need to read books, Tolstoy and Chekhov and Gogol and others. Listen to music. Tchaikovsky. Watch our classical ballet. But the most important thing is that you need to talk with people."

“If there are people who act outside the law, then the state must use legal means to impose law in the interests of majority. That's the way it's done in the U.S., and that's the way it's done in Russia. Our society, including the liberals, must understand that there must be order.”

"Stalinism is linked with a cult of personality and massive violations of the law, with repression and camps. There is nothing like that in Russia and, I hope, will never again be."

ON THE ELECTION

"I've repeatedly seen the anti-Russian card played during domestic political campaigns in the States. I think that it's a very short-sighted approach. It seems to me that it doesn't fully meet the level of responsibility that lies on the shoulders of the U.S. I think that all this should be more dignified, calm and more balanced."

“I think the American people should express their preferences, and we'll accept their choice.”

"Maybe they have nothing else to do in America but to talk about me."

ON THE UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY

“It's alarming that military intervention in internal conflicts in foreign countries has become commonplace for the United States.”

“Millions around the world increasingly see America not as a model of democracy but as relying solely on brute force, cobbling coalitions together under the slogan, 'You're either with us or against us.'

“The United States has overstepped its borders in all spheres - economic, political and humanitarian - and has imposed itself on other states.”

“We must stop using the language of force and return to the path of civilized diplomatic and political settlement.”

      Are these the words of a tyrant? A war monger? An evil, once a KGB always a KGB Communist? No one reading these words could be that foolish....unless there was an agenda. I think President Putin also hit the nail on the head with a problem that we are having here. He stated before the Sochi games, “Politics should not interfere with sports. And sports should impact politics.” Wise words, NFL are YOU listening?
