“INTRIGANDO EN EZEIZA”

¿Quién ordenó la demora del avión venezolano en el aeropuerto de Ezeiza y cuáles fueron los argumentos para ello?

 

Por Pepe Beru

Dentro de la novela islamófoba escrita desde Washington, alimentada por la elite política en Tel Aviv y levantada por los sectores sionistas argentinos se agrega un nuevo capítulo en su campaña por sembrar el miedo y la desconfianza a todo lo relacionado con la república Islámica de Irán y el mundo islámico.

La llegada a Ezeiza el 6 de junio de un avión venezolano de la empresa EMTRASUR que sorpresivamente fue retenido por la Policía Aeroportuaria Argentina el 11 de junio encendió las alarmas de la seguridad argentina pero ¿Por qué? El avión había sido vendido por la empresa iraní “Mahan Air”, señalada por EEUU de servir -entre otras cuestiones- de apoyo logístico a la resistencia islámica “Hezbola”, algo que al parecer suscito esta medida estrambótica y claramente sobreactuada. La pregunta que no se ha respondido aún sería ¿Por qué?

Las primeras líneas de los medios filosionistas locales que no dudan en seguir la artificiosa propaganda islamófoba, pusieron a la presencia “de iraníes” a bordo del avión como las principales causales para demorar el avión, dejando en evidencia el sesgo recurrentemente racista y en especial islamófobo de estas Breaking News.

El tono de la difusión de la noticia hacía presuponer una amenaza o algo tétrico abordo. Desde hace años que la prensa argentina subalterna a las posiciones geopolíticas “correctas” (es decir, del lado del poder) difunde una notable animadversión hacía todo lo iraní. Incluso ya hemos visto como exponentes de su clase política estrechamente relacionados con Tel Aviv y Washington han tratado -intentando involucrar a todos los musulmanes- de vincular maliciosamente a Irán con los ataques del 11 de septiembre de 2001 (como parte de una larga política de desinformación producida en Washington)[1].

Para estos exponentes del sionismo local, la excusa principal en la que se apoyan estas versiones, son las anodinas y nunca probadas acusaciones contra Teherán por la ejecución de los atentados contra la embajada de Israel en 1992 y la AMIA en 1994 ambos ocurridos en Buenos Aires y obviamente (como era de esperar), endilgarle la muerte del fiscal federal Alberto Natalio Nisman en 2015.

En los últimos años y desde la llegada de Mauricio Macri a la presidencia la influencia sionista dentro de la política exterior argentina ha venido creciendo reflejándose en personajes de la política local que incluso han tratado de sembrar la ponzoña anti iraní incluso en los países vecinos[2].

Pese a que a estos sectores fundan la acusación sobre los atentados en un fallo de la Corte Suprema de Justicia de la Nación, lo cierto es que en el mismo no costarían pruebas tangibles y certeras que apoyen esa acusación siendo la única pieza sobre la que se apoyaron los jueces, unos dudosos y muy convenientes informes de la CIA y sus colegas israelíes introducidos en la voluminosa causa justamente durante la gestión de Néstor Kirchner.

Pero más allá de la psicosis deliberada que los medios crearon, el avión retenido en el aeropuerto de Ezeiza no era lo que algunos medios capitalinos presumían. Igualmente para estos una tripulación de ciudadanos venezolanos e iraníes era motivo suficiente para hacer los aspavientos que se hicieron. Fue por eso que no sorprende que a pocas horas de este evento dos organismos de la comunidad judía local como son la DAIA y la AMIA comenzaran a presionar al gobierno argentino para informase de todos los pormenores de la situación. Si nos atenemos al principio de reciprocidad cuando un avión militar de EEUU en 2011 fue demorado en aeroparque, las embajadas de Irán y del Líbano podrían haber podido solicitar una pretensión semejante ya que, en esos momentos Washington arrasaba (mediante los vuelos de la CIA secuestraba y torturaba a personas) sobre los derechos humanos con su llamada “luchar contra el terrorismo” que utilizando la farsa prefabricada del Estado Islámico[3] no fue sino, una sangrienta represión contra el mundo islámico.

Así mismo y como se puede intuir existe una indebida preferencia por atender a unos y desoír a otros. Es sabido que uno de estos organismos es estrictamente político y desde hace tiempo lleva adelante la agenda política del estado de Israel en el país algo que, ha creado conflictos dentro de la misma comunidad judía entre quienes militan activamente por la geopolítica del estado y quienes pretenden mantenerse al margen. Igualmente, el problema pasa por una falta de autoridad política del estado argentino que actúa como una veleta de acuerdo a cómo y dónde soplen los vientos de la geopolítica.

Por lo que citan las fuentes, el avión provenía de un largo viaje desde México donde partió sin inconvenientes y mucho menos, sin estos estigmatizantes señalamientos que en Argentina se han vuelto una costumbre. Llego a Ezeiza el 6 de junio y partió al día siguiente para seguir su ruta. Tras pretender reabastecer combustible en Uruguay este no le permitió aterrizar obligándolo a regresar a Buenos Aires. Fue allí curiosamente donde se activaron las medidas “administrativas” sentenciadas por la Oficina de Control de Activos Extranjeros de EEUU (OFAC). Fuentes confidenciales afirman que la red de alcahuetes uruguayos que el Mossad tiene en su nómina informó rápidamente a su estación en Buenos Aires.

En este marco las autoridades argentinas subordinadas a esta oficina retuvieron los pasaportes de los tripulantes iraníes por sospechar que tal vez (y por ser iraníes) supuestamente fueran miembros de la Guardia Revolucionaria “Al Quds” una agrupación militar que Washington considera terrorista. Es la misma agrupación que comandaba el general Qassem Soleiman quien fue asesinado a la salida del Aeropuerto de Bagdad en 2020 mediante un cruento atentado ejecutado por la CIA y el Mossad israelí.

Si Argentina aplicara la ley de acuerdo a los estándares internacionales, acudiendo a las mismas suspicacias y demostrando algo de soberanía política tendría que demorar vuelos de “AL” o charters privados en los que viajan ciudadanos israelíes ¿Bajo qué argumento? El de comprobar que en ellos viajen agentes del estado israelí involucrados en la comisión de todo tipo de crímenes de lesa humanidad contra la población palestina[4]. 

Como se puede ver, las implicancias que tiene esta maniobra van más allá de cualquier supuesto fundamento legal y solamente esconden objetivos geopolíticos ajenos a Buenos Aires.

Pero ¿Qué competencia tiene esta oficina dentro de la soberanía de otros países? Como se puede ver la orden no emano de Interpol o de algún organismo judicial internacional (que tampoco son fiables) sino de otro estado que teniendo un declarado conflicto con Irán, aplica sanciones violando las soberanías de otros países. Ante esto cabría preguntarse ¿Quién tiene la culpa de esto, EEUU, Irán o Venezuela? La respuesta no está en ninguno de estos países. Quien tiene la culpa es el gobierno argentino ya que está permitiendo que otro país aplique medidas sancionatorias de carácter unilateral vinculadas a sus propios intereses dentro de su jurisdicción salvo, que el país sea un aliado en ese conflicto.

“CRISIS DE LA OPORTUNIDAD”

La Cumbre de las Américas era para Washington la posibilidad de cerrar filas en el hemisferio continental y a la vez, una oportunidad para ampliar las expectativas de Argentina y mejorar la imagen de Alberto Fernández ¿Se logro algo de esto?

 

Por Charles H. Slim


 

El mundo puede entrar en una severa crisis alimentaria, en especial las regiones más pobres y desafortunadas y la causa de ello en parte se debe a las acciones bélicas en Ucrania, pero ¿Por qué en parte? Hemos escuchado como La Casa Blanca y sus voceros de la UE gritan a coro que Rusia mantiene al mundo de rehén tratando de argumentar que la falta de materias primas y cereales provenientes de Eurasia se debe a Rusia.

Pero los mandatarios occidentales con Joe Biden a la cabeza, parecen olvidar que fue EEUU quien lanzó una agresión económico-comercial y financiera sin precedentes contra Rusia y que ello ha terminado repercutiendo en sus propias economías, incluyendo a la estadounidense. Sumado a estas, los ucranianos con la asistencia de la OTAN han estado minando todos los puertos (entre ellos Mariupol y Berdyansk) en el Mar Negro y varias rutas por donde pasan los convoyes comerciales.

Esa ecuación que Washington creyó ahorcaría la economía rusa y concretaría un “putch” contra Vladimir Putin, ha terminado por arruinar a las empresas occidentales con el aditamento de causar mayores problemas para el resto de los habitantes del planeta, en especial para aquellos en regiones más desfavorables. Queda claro que los estadounidenses y sus socios de la OTAN -como era de esperar- solo habían meritado sus propios intereses.

Pero ¿Qué quiere decir el sin sentido título de este articulo? El mismo esta direccionado al gobierno argentino que administra a uno de los países productores de materias primas más importantes del planeta y pese a ello se halla por debajo de muchos otros que ni siquiera tienen acceso al agua potable ¿Cómo puede ser eso?

La respuesta de esto se halla en su disociado carácter colectivo. Actualmente el gobierno argentino no está aprovechando las oportunidades que la actual crisis brinda. En lo que hace a la actual situación de falta de cereales, Argentina sería la alternativa optima y más pronta para paliar en gran parte este problema. Su capacidad de siembra y cosecha de cereales como el trigo podría reemplazar el faltante de alimentos con el consiguiente negocio para sus flacas arcas públicas; entonces ¿Por qué no esta ocupando ese lugar?

Lo mismo podemos decir sobre la falta de gas en Europa (por seguir las directivas de Washington) y el cual la Argentina ventea por no tener la infraestructura para conducirlo y envasarlo ¿Por qué no sería posible resolver ese problema con la tecnología de otro país? Tal vez el presidente Fernández tenga las intenciones de hacerlo pero esta limitado por la realidad. Y no solo de la realidad geopolítica que impone la actual situación en Eurasia, sino y tal vez la más grave para él, la de administrar un país desindustrializado, condicionado por la cíclica deuda y sujeto al silencioso control británico (desde la firma de los Tratados de Madrid 1990), sino también, a una situación de ingobernabilidad interior signada por las grietas dentro del mismo espacio político oficialista, la corrupción política, una economía mal manejada y una oposición sin ideas creíbles y tan corrupta como aquellos.

Para peor, Fernández con sus zigzagueantes posiciones en política exterior (coqueteando una apertura rusa en el Cono sur) ha ampliado la ya preexistente la incredulidad y desconfianza internacional.

“En la visita de Alberto Fernández a Moscú en febrero último ofreció a su homologo ruso Vladimir Putin ser la puerta de entrada de Rusia en la región algo que despertó el alboroto en los sectores anglófilos capitalinos y por supuesto la molestia en el Departamento de Estado norteamericano”.

En breves palabras, Argentina tiene una clase política -que incluye a los medios- con el culo vendido y no tiene decisión autónoma para los grandes temas de estado. Esto último sería posible de revertir (de existir voluntad y entrega) pero no será un proceso rápido y mucho menos sin estruendos sociales.

Al mismo tiempo el presidente Fernández en su presentación ante la Cumbre de las Américas llevada a cabo en Los Ángeles, ha sorprendido a propios y ajenos con sus puntuaciones a EEUU que claramente desagradaron más a los pro-estadounidenses y anglófilos argentinos que al mismo Biden. En cierta medida no le quedaba otra ya que, (pese a lo que decían los medios pro-estadounidenses en Buenos Aires) AMLO cumplió con su palabra y no acudió a la cumbre en protesta por el “democrático” derecho de admisión aplicado contra Venezuela, Cuba y Nicaragua aplicado por La Casa Blanca.

Estaba claro que Fernández, sabiendo que los militantes del partido al que representa lo observaban desde la distancia y en especial, su jefa la vice CFK, como los mejores actores y acostumbrado a cambiar los semblantes de acuerdo a la ocasión, impostó su personaje de mandatario contestatario. Pero no se engañe, esas palabras estaban bien medidas y fueron previamente pautadas con los asesores de La Casa Blanca, es por ello que Biden no necesito hacerle ningún reproche.

Esta vez Alberto Fernández estuvo a tono con la orientación de la cumbre en la cual quedó muy clara una división entre los países latinoamericanos y EEUU demostrando que Washington ha perdido aquella poderosa influencia que supo tener en la década de los noventas ¿Y cuáles son los temas que más dividen? Aunque los anglófilos argentinos no quieran escucharlo, la guerra en Ucrania y en particular los argumentos que Rusia ha explicitado para lanzar su “Operación especial Z” fueron temas intocables.

Otro tópico en el cual no hubo acuerdo es la posición sinofoba de Washington, que trata de instalar para frenar el avance comercial de China en la región. Lo cierto es que Biden necesita aunar filas en un hemisferio escéptico y desconfiado de organismos regionales acostumbradamente alineados a las políticas norteamericanas (como la OEA).    

La delegación estadounidense pronto advirtió esto y trato de buscar los puntos en común para poder sacar algo productivo de esta cumbre de representaciones renegadas. Como conclusión de todo esto, no parece que se hayan obtenido resultados esperanzadores para Washington y menos aún para los mendicantes gobiernos sudamericanos como el de Buenos Aires pero si es cierto remarcar, que pese a los esfuerzos de La Casa Blanca por alinear una posición contra los procesos revolucionarios de la región (quienes tienen fuertes lazos con Rusia y China) los estadounidenses no lograron obtener consenso.

“INTRIGUE, BISCUITS AND BETRAYAL”

Save Ukraine or save the system headed by Zelensky? That is the question for Washington and Brussels


By Sir Charlattam

Like every Tuesday evening it is a special day for me as it is the day I meet up with my old friend and contact “Joe” for a drink and an update on current affairs. This meeting was special as I had just returned from a trip a few days ago. Obviously, what is happening in Ukraine is the most important thing, especially what is going on under cover, as there is another war that the public does not see and will not see.

So it was and at the agreed time we met at our usual place and this time I must say I was surprised by the news he brought me with documents that could bring down the Parliament and “10 Downing Street” itself, taking away the poor vote of confidence given to monkey cheeks Johnson.

Joe has a source inside Kiev who gives him a pretty accurate and enlightening picture of what is going on around Volodymyr Zelensky himself and his close relations with Warsaw and..., London. At one point I stopped him and said “what a novelty, my friend”. But he immediately shut me up by saying “our people are so involved that they are the ones running the party there”. I waited a few seconds dumbfounded and said “What?”

I'm not surprised that MI6 is there but, according to this friend there is much more than one agency in charge. As far as he has been able to learn, Zelensky would be following a road map drawn up by the Foreign Office to the letter without having to inform Washington, which would be watching from the sidelines. Surprising, isn't it? The White House has put the British in charge of managing this disaster and the worst thing is that our politicians, with “monkey cheeks” at the helm, are happy to go along with it.

This at the same time has sparked several controversies within the military ranks of the already devastated Ukrainian regular army (UAF). Because let's make the distinction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not the same as the neo-Nazi Battalions (loyal to the Nazi doctrine of Stephan Bandera) that are being assisted by NATO and of course, by our SAS and SBS boys, so who really runs Ukraine?

According to a contact within a circle of middle-ranking officers, there is disagreement about how Zelensky is running the war, to which I replied, "Is he running the war? Joe, nonchalantly and sipping his drink, said “of course he is, but he's doing it with advisors on the side and they're all NATO”. Actually, what he was telling me did not surprise me since it was proven that French, Canadians and our own were caught by Russian troops. He also assured me that the presence of Polish foreign intelligence in Lviv and western locations is detectable without much effort. To a veteran eye there are things that do not escape notice.

According to his sources the Chechens on the eastern front are being hit hard and daily casualties are counted at an average of a hundred and that is not counting the desertions of groups of volunteer mercenaries, many of them Americans, overwhelmed by Russian firepower, inventing defects in their weapons or wounds in order to be evacuated. In Mariupol Kadirov's Chechens wiped out an ambush attempt and the scenario was horrific and very frustrating for Zelensky's military commanders. What do you think the unwary volunteers who thought they were in for a ride must have thought? 

I was also told that NATO is providing resources to produce audio-visual propaganda to boost the morale of the people in Kiev, most of which consists of colourful and witty music videos, but which are basically evidence of the desperation of Zelensky's backers and his neo-Nazi clique. This remains an issue and even if Tel Aviv wants to play it down under ridiculous slogans, their countryman is supported by a neo-Nazi organisation that itself was and still is financed by Jewish oligarchs. There is a moral dilemma for the European Union in this, though not for its Tory politicians, and certainly not for “monkey cheeks Johnson” and his minions in Downing Street who live off those very interests.

Another issue of great concern to the Ukrainian generals is where is all the war materiel that Washington has been promising with great fanfare, not counting of course the shipments that have been destroyed by Russian missiles, which are an indication of the good intelligence they have on the ground.

But this massive arms shipment has unleashed another business, and that is black market arms. But of course, not just any weapons. Tons of portable weapons, many of them highly sophisticated, could be lost in midstream and diverted to international mafias or simply to other theatres of war in Africa and Asia (Afghanistan). This is no longer a secret and the head of Interpol himself has put out an alert for this and of course the bureaucrats in Washington and even less so those in London who tried to summon him to press him to investigate alleged Russian war crimes did not like it.

What the West is also silent about is the humanitarian aid that the Russians are deploying without asking for a Russian identity card or being Russian-speaking in the controlled regions. Beyond an attempt to disguise the military action and its consequences, Russian troops have launched an aid campaign delivering food, water, medical care and security to civilian citizens. Plans for reconstruction are already underway in Mariupol and Kherson where battles have ceased and neo-Nazis have been surrendered or eliminated.

In the midst of all this turmoil Zelensky does not seem to be in control of the whole situation. There is discomfort within his inner circle and this is fuelling rumours of an internal coup by those who suspect that his policies are more in line with NATO's plans than those of the Ukrainian population who cannot cope with the situation. Added to this is Poland's growing influence within the territory and in all its decisions.

I think after all that we have discussed that Washington will continue to use its comic actor as the protagonist of this tragedy but it is quite possible that he will soon be given his cancellation notice.

“THE MIRAGE OF SINAI”

Perhaps many people in the West have forgotten what ISIS is. Have the Arab rulers and especially the Egyptians forgotten?

 

By Yossi Tevi

After the end of the last Arab-Israeli war in the 1970s, a geographical and visible separation between Egypt and Israel was established (with the 1978 Peace Treaty) to prevent a new attempt by either side to launch a surprise attack. Sinai became consecrated to be a space of separation between both actors under the observation of the United Nations. The passing of the years and the decades have turned it into something more than a demilitarized zone and both for some and for others, it has become anything else.

At this point and given the new dirty war tactics that are used to try to degrade the enemy, Sinai's function as a demilitarized space to guarantee non-aggression has only contributed to offering a paradise for the recruitment, training and commissioning of Islamist groups with non-Islamic directors.

The sudden appearance of ISIS in 2014 has played a fundamental role in the growth of insecurity and violence in the peninsula that curiously only affects Egyptians. This was functional for Israel who, with a multimillion-dollar budget and almost unlimited military technological resources (sent from the US), forced Egypt to cooperate in a common security plan for the entire Peninsula. But it is known that while the Israelis show an empty palm of their hands in the other there is a dagger ready to attack. The concerns of Israeli intelligence and their CIA colleagues with these “pseudo-Islamist” cells (especially operating in Syria) give no assurance of sincere concern.

This was by no means accidental. Those in the West who relate the “phenomenon” of “Daesh” do so artificially and do not say that it arose within the framework of the campaign of aggression against Syria and in which France, the United Kingdom (through the White Helmets) and the United States (through the tireless Hillary Clinton's efforts to finance the Syrian opposition) had a capital involvement in it. Nor do they mention that the so-called “Caliph” Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi was a mercenary (imposing the role of an Iraqi doctor manufactured by the Americans and who never existed) who, along with other leaders of armed gangs supported from Washington, met with Senator John Mc Cain in 2013 on the occasion of his visit to encourage his fight against Damascus.

This reminder preface is essential to understand why the resurgence of terrorism in Sinai has a very suspicious smell.

Even if it seems to you that this has nothing to do with what is happening in Ukraine, believe me, you are wrong. First of all, the Middle East and in particular Syria and Iraq owe it to Russia for having intervened in September 2015 to stop the advance and subsequent defeat of ISIS. Since 2012, Moscow had already been cooperating with Damascus to combat the terrorist groups of Wahabi and Takfir affiliation. Those who put together the pseudo-Islamist deception (linked to the Five Eyes) did not forget this and only waited for the opportunity to return courtesies to Moscow. The first blow to Moscow's withdrawal was undoubtedly the shooting down of the Metrojet on October 31, 2015 over Sinai. Despite this bloody message, Moscow was not frightened and, on the contrary, struck hard at these gangs and their sponsors.

That had an indirect effect on the structure of this organization that was also exposed as a fraud in Afghanistan (ISIS-Khorasan), from where the Anglo-Americans in September 2021 ran away.

Vladimir Putin's decision to end the ISIS enclaves in Syria (especially Palmyra) was decisive for the Iraqis and Iranians to be able to recapture Mosul in 2017. With this it is clear that the US was not the one who achieved this achievement (claimed by Donald Trump) recalling his shady role on the ground. There are still many embarrassing issues for the Americans and their NATO allies that have not come to light in large part because of the corrupt gang (CIA-linked) in power in Baghdad. Do you even know where the commanders of this farce? Likewise, that does not hide the suspicion that resources are being injected to reissue a return of ISIS.

What makes you suspect that they are seeking to revive the psychosis of ISIS Islamist terrorism near Israel? If there is a threat, there are excuses to increase and extend surveillance over a territory with the most important sea crossings for commercial traffic. Don't you think it's convenient?

The increase in the actions of gangs that identify themselves with ISIS in Sinai is the bloodiest and most concrete indication that leads to these suspicions. So far in May, attacks against Egyptian military posts have intensified, killing many army personnel. The last one carried out on May 8 in “Bear Al Abd” to the west of the peninsula where eleven Egyptian soldiers were killed. On the contrary (and as has happened before) the Israelis have not received any attacks. Luck or fix? Perhaps you forget the connections between the “Al Nusrah” gang (affiliate of Al Qaeda) in Quneitra with the Israeli military intelligence. Or the video montages and the infiltrations paid by the Mossad in Gaza to create a “Daesh” branch that would rival "Hamas" and it didn't work. Why? There are not enough Shiites there to blame them. It was a frustration for “Bibi” and the entourage of extremists who supported him, but especially for his liar spokesman Yigal Palmor who with his tangled arguments wanted to explain the inexplicable. And worse still for the unpleasant Avigdor Lieberman who prayed to “Yahweh” that the sea swallow the Gaza Strip.

When the farce of the Caliphate was installed in Iraq back in June 2014, no one in the Anglo-American media noticed that in the portentous processions in which the brand new ISIS mobile units paraded there were artillery pieces, armored vehicles and Saudi supplies of American origin, certainly curious, don't you think so? Even many of the commanders of the Iraqi Revolutionary Military Committees (which were part of the resistance) who fell for the deception, could see that these weapons and equipment had not come from the captured bases in the north, but the desire to get rid of the puppets in Baghdad beat them.

What happened in Iraq with ISIS was undoubtedly a lesson for all Arab and Islamic countries, but also for Israel, which has been a party to this and believes that by outsourcing its creations it will escape its consequences. The trick of blowing up sectarianism can backfire. Today it seems that Egypt can become the center of action of this hoax for the purpose of distraction due to what is happening in Ukraine. If President Adelfatah Al Sisi and his rulers do not pay attention to the dynamics of this threat, they could fall into the same trap that the Mesopotamians fell into.

“BEYOND SPEECH”

Throughout the last century, nationalism has been demonized by being equated with distortions such as Nazism and fascism, but other such deviations have been silenced. This seeks to strip the identity of the states that suit Washington and London and maintain that of their allies.

 

By Danny Smith

The 20th century was the protagonist of the birth and establishment of an ideological antagonism born by the European intellectualism of the 19th century that ended in two great world wars and that was continued by the rest of the countries of the globe. Liberalism, nationalism and communism as central axes of this, led in turn to the creation of currents of interpretation that would end up demonstrating a similar nature.

The conception of the left and right, materialized in extreme currents such as Nazism, fascism and communism, provided a framework for the ideological and warlike conflict that (used by the Anglo-Saxon liberals) brought as a consequence the most horrendous and shameful calamities against the humanity that, despite such a lesson, would continue until the end of the century.

The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the collapse of the USSR in 1991 marked a historical hinge that, in theory, would end this confrontation, but that did not happen. In the Western media story, the death of communism and even the end of ideologies were raised. But that wasn't so true. The atomization of the USSR triggered the revival of nationalism and even its most ultramontane exacerbations. Then. Although communism lay inert on a ditch in history, its usual rival (nationalism), on the contrary, was reborn, adulterated and raging with the power of a bloodthirsty zombie. What happened?

The answer is clear: He was secretly revived and nurtured for use when the occasion called for it. This, as expected, was convenient for Washington and London for certain cases and many of these exacerbated feelings had been fed throughout the cold war to undermine the political stability of Moscow. But with the Soviet Union gone, those resources would be available for new strategies.

This is how, for decades, the CIA and MI6 worked with ethnic minorities and political dissidence in the Caucasus, in Eastern Europe and even in the regions and countries bordering China (Nepal and Tibet) seeking to foment subversion, discontent social and disobedience against communist governments and even territorial secessions.

But it was not enough that the Soviet era ended. NATO never stopped its expansion plans.

Thus we saw how the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1991 represented the fragmentation of the state into three ethnic religious blocs that for decades lived in harmony and suddenly collided in a brutal way, recreating scenes that had only been seen in Beirut during the civil war. that? From a distance and with the current situation in Ukraine, NATO's responsibilities became clear, creating and putting into operation new armed groups that would later be used in the Caucasus and the Middle East. Created chaos and without an opponent such as the USSR (with an absent UN), promoting insecurity to offer its “Security System” did not represent any problem and it was in this way that the Atlantists brains were able to establish strategic points in Albania and Kosovo.

It was very useful for Washington and Brussels to revive the monster of nationalism, exacerbated by religion and the fear of uncertainty in countries that for seventy years were under a regime that had disappeared. Throughout the cold war, the CIA and its namesake partners worked with extremist groups and cells as assets to use against the USSR.

When that Status Quo disappears, those assets will continue to exist and began to be used for other purposes and in other scenarios. The existence of private armies (Stay Behind) under the direction of NATO, such as GLADIO and the Muslim Legion (linked to Al Qaeda and Daesh), was a secret that was kept for a long time, long enough to carry out several of the actions bloodier on European soil that were foisted on others (extremists of the European left and the Libyan Arabs).

With this it is clear that the phenomenon of terrorism was never such and much less only used by Arabs and Muslims. Terrorism is one more tactical tool in the arsenals. Long before the Second World War began, Zionist cells in Palestine (made up of European Jews) were already operating against the Arab population and the British protectorate, using terrorism as one of their most common tactics.

In this sense, let us remember that Zionism was conceived on the basis of Jewish nationalism, that is, a homeland for and only for the Jews regardless of whose land it was. This branch of nationalism was and continues to be enthusiastically supported by London and Washington and that is how the Zionists with Ben Gurion at the head managed to settle in Palestine.

Along with this situation in Palestine, when it suited the West, I do not hesitate to discretionally support Arab nationalism to consolidate its own interests in the region. Just as it has maintained its oil business ties with the Saudi royal family “Al Saud”, on the other side of the Gulf, the US (through the CIA) after overthrowing Mohamad Mossadegh in 1953 rose and forged excellent relations with the royalty of Persia. When the puppet and Shah of Persia Reza Palevi had to flee for the 1979 Revolution as part of his campaign against the Iranian revolution, Washington powerless to reverse the situation, instigated and supported the Iraqi national socialist "Baath" party led by Saddam Hussein to they bled to death in an eight-year war and then, after inducing it to the crisis with Kuwait in 1990, get rid of this Arab ally.

When George W. Bush said that one of the threats to democracy was nationalism and Islamist extremism, he was simply contradicting what the US had been secretly instigating for decades. To cover up this inconsistency, the media played -as usual- a fundamental role. Despite the fact that it was rhetoric for public consumption, his Israeli colleague Benjamin Netanyahu did not hesitate to establish very good relations with the most controversial far-right governments in Eastern Europe, including those that became Ukraine after the 2014 coup, especially with the current Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky who received him with a neo-Nazi ceremony in August 2019.

The latter should not surprise anyone since there are currently in Ukraine groups of Kurdish mercenaries financed and directed by Israeli agents who, in addition to carrying out terrorist acts against Iraq and Iran, work and cooperate with the Nazi “Azov” battalions. Washington has been at the forefront of this and if we don't remember the roles of Secretary of State John Kerry, his deputy Victoria Nuland and later that of John McCain who, as he did in Syria, in 2016 visited the neo-Nazi extremists in kyiv.

All this shows that beyond the trite media propaganda (to which the film industry is added) and the extensive literature that separates the right and the left as antagonists, trying to superimpose on this scheme supposed democracies and supposed autocracies in a game of good guys and bad guys, reality makes it clear that this was never the case and that beyond ideologies, Western governments respond to conveniences and interests.
