THE DARK SIDE OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY

Why does the support the US and its Atlanticist partners give to Kiev have nothing to do with a struggle for democracy?

 

By Sidney Hey

After the total seizure of the city of Artemosvk, we saw how the Kiev regime was exposed as being in a very difficult situation. Almost immediately, and as a way of covering up the disastrous failure, the CIA and its collaborators launched direct actions on Russian territory using mercenary groups equipped with NATO weapons and vehicles.

The desperation did not stop there and they soon showed how far they could go to try to reverse a situation that the Americans themselves knew was irreversible. Not many hours passed before the head of Ukrainian military intelligence Vadim Skibitski publicly acknowledged that his area has as targets to assassinate the head of the PMC Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin and President Vladimir Putin himself, confirming (despite the silence of the Western media) that they have been behind all the attacks and assassinations carried out inside Russia.

In the light of this confession one has to ask where is international law?

But we know that these terrorist actions cannot be carried out without Washington's approval and even less without the coordination of its executive tool, the CIA. From the very beginning of Operation Special Military Operation we saw the CIA, special forces groups and their British colleagues manoeuvring in Ukraine.  Using proxy groups employing terror tactics, they are trying to extend the field of action to Russian territory.

The latest attacks on Russian territory in Belgorod using equipment, M1224 (MRAP) vehicles, Humvees and US man-portable weapons are evidence of this surreptitious cooperation.

As can be seen, we are faced with a discursive contradiction of the self-proclaimed “democratic” political administration of the USA, which clashes head-on with a sinister contemporary policy by means of which it invaded, destroyed countries, kidnapped, tortured and murdered tens of thousands of people under the argument of the “fight against terrorism” and in “defence of democracy”. 

It was in those dark years that all those actions were carried out that a fascist force can undertake against those it considers its enemies, degrading them to subhumanity. If we were to list just the Iraqi families who were killed and/or decimated by the Anglo-American “liberators” and their hired thugs, we would need thousands of pages and just as many pages to write those killed by the “Islamic State” hoax.

The worst of all this is the role of international justice, which seems to be a mute mimic of this power and which, because of this subjection, has not given a response to all these crimes against humanity. This is where the International Criminal Court's proclaimed and much publicised arrest warrants for the Russian president and his closest officials become not only illegitimate, but an overacted parody.

Skibistki's statements are a confession of crimes that do not seem to have moved the biased Western media or to have been heard by the ICC prosecutor.

What the CIA carried out on Russian territory and what we are seeing lately in Belgorod is nothing more than executing terrorist operations using Slavic assets and Russian opponents who have no scruples about killing civilians and the more they kill the better. Where have we seen this before? Ah yes. After those bizarre attacks of September 11, 2001, the federal government, controlled by a neo-conservative-Zionist clique, had the convenient path open -under the excuse of terrorism- to cancel the guarantees and freedoms of all.

Amusingly, the then administration bloated the budget through the roof by multiplying the intelligence bureaucracy by creating a dozen agencies and with them, thousands of jobs, and with them, thousands of black budgets to pay panderers and other unreliable sources of information.

We immediately saw the same foul play in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria, using black budgets to pay irregular groups like those operating for Kiev today, only changing the origin of the human resources. Thus it was that with the use of criminals, Arab mercenaries and CIA assets from old secret programmes like “Al Qaeda”, the US breathed chaos into the Middle East and North Africa and today is trying to direct them against Russia and Belarus.

All that bloodshed and chaos not only served geopolitical purposes but also drove big business and stock market movements that ultimately enriched a few corporate firms and the public officials who made this whole scam possible, involving an endless chain of individuals (from the suppliers of toilet paper to the military to the psychiatrists who supervised the torture in Abu Graib, Bagram and Guantánamo) who, paid to serve this enterprise, have now been discarded from the system that used them.

The same interests also exist in Ukraine, which is why the same strategy is being replicated with similar tactics.

The latest declarations by Kiev's intelligence officer show that beyond the danger to the security of the Russian Federation, there is an evident connivance between Washington and London, which, together with the increase in arms that they are sending to the Ukrainians and the undeniable alliance they have forged with neo-Nazis throughout the region, sustain terrorist actions on Russian territory. In light of the evidence and despite Western media censorship, Washington's vaunted democracy is being called into question.

Many are asking, is the US seeking Russia's overreaction?
