CAPITALIST TENTACLES & FRONTS

THE SAKER—Their problem, however, is that they are now true US protectorates/colonies, with no real foreign policy of their own. Their top leaders, political and military, are also prostitutes, just like “New Europe”, so while they have a wealth of historical experience to draw from, they cannot act on it because of the iron grip Uncle Shmuel has on their political throats. Even France, which used to have some real independence, under such leaders as de Gaulle and Mitterrand, now is just another voiceless and clueless protectorate.

Few media figures are more seriously obnoxious and lacking in journalisitic ethics than Rachel Maddow, the default Russiagater “brainiac” at MSNBC. In this segment she ends up practically giving the game away, and Jimmy catches her. 

The media and the politicians are really to blame for the outbreak of anti-Asian hatred, and Trump is singularly guilty although by no means the sole factor in this ugly phenomenon.

The most important thing to remember is that analysis of any society or leader with no (or inadequate) context is bound to yield highly distorted or erroneous results. Learning about and imagining the actual circumstances in which leaders and societies made the decisions they did is essential to a fair understanding of their actions. What’s more, it’s not accdental that the elimination of historical context is the favorite tool of propagandists. Almost all of anti-communist propaganda in the West—which continues unabated to this day— is grounded in ahistorical presentation of pseudo facts. Trying to understand facts without proper contextualization is simply an illusion. And an exercise in political dishonesty. 

It is no coincidence that NATO’s war for the demolition of the Libyan State began less than two months after the African Union Summit, on January 31, 2011, which started the creation of the African Monetary Fund to be realized within the year. This is proven by emails from the Obama administration’s Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, brought to light later by WikiLeaks: United States and France wanted to eliminate Gaddafi before he used Libya’s gold reserves to create a pan-African currency, alternative to the dollar and the CFA franc (currency imposed by France on its 14 former colonies). This is proven by the fact that, before the bombers went into action in 2011, the banks went into action: they seized the 150 billion dollars invested abroad by the Libyan State, most of which disappeared. In the great robbery, Goldman Sachs, the most powerful US investment bank of which Mario Draghi had been vice president, stood out.
