Warmongers
Are
Shootin' for Putin
THE WAY I SEE IT
By Michael Collins

. Lest
anyone doubt the New World Order elite are moving further
toward outright efforts to destroy Russian leader Vladimir
Putin — perhaps even force a war with Russia — The Washington Post made things abundantly clear
on July 22 that the push is on to pressure President Barack
Obama into taking a more combative stance against Putin.
A longtime voice for what many call “the foreign policy
establishment,” the Post once again adopted
a notably hysterical tone toward Putin (quite in contrast
to the paper’s otherwise staid tradition) and in a
lead editorial, bluntly titled “Russia’s barbarism,”
declared “the West needs a strategy to contain the
world’s newest rogue state.”
Slamming
Putin for denying responsibility for the loss over Ukraine
of a Malaysian airliner — the circumstances of which
remain in dispute, Western media claims notwithstanding
— the Post issued a virtual call for war. “What’s
needed,” roared the Post, “is a broad strategy
for putting a stop to Mr. Putin’s aggression and,
where possible, rolling it back. . . . It’s time to
treat Mr. Putin’s Russia as what it has become —
a dangerous outlaw regime that needs to be contained.”
The Post’s designation of Russia as “the
world’s newest rogue state” was more than a
rhetorical flourish. Instead — and be assured of this
— it was a serious, explosive provocation.
While
there’s no formal legal definition of a “rogue
state” — though one dictionary defines it as
“a nation or state regarded as breaking international
law and posing a threat to the security of other nations”—
the phrase is a now-much-used political term of art that,
in statecraft, is the practical equivalent of calling a
person a Holocaust denier or an anti-Semite.
“Rogue
states rollback” — targeting Iraq and Iran —
was first enunciated on May 22, 1993 by Martin Indyk (a
former Israeli government propagandist and later U.S. ambassador
to Israel) in a speech reported only by AFP’s predecessor
— The Spotlight — to a pro-Israel group
in Washington.
However,
within a year, the concept of rogue states rollback was
publicly unveiled in an article, “Confronting Backlash
States,” in the March/April 1994 issue of Foreign
Affairs, published by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR),
the New York branch of the London-based Royal Institute
of International Affairs, foreign policy arm of the Rothschild
banking empire, premier patrons of Israel and the world
Zionist network.
Since
then, the smear “rogue state” has most often
been slapped on nations perceived hostile to Israel, to
Jewish interests or to schemes of the international banking
establishment (much of which is in the grip of the Rothschild
dynasty and elements in its sphere of influence).
In
that respect, it’s perhaps no coincidence the Post complained on March 24 that “Putin has long argued
that Russia’s wealthy . . . should keep their money
inside Russia and away from a global economy controlled
by Western interests.” That was a view reflective
of Putin’s now-legendary war against the handful of
Jewish “oligarchs,” many of whom held Israeli
citizenship and squeezed Russia for its riches after the
collapse of the Soviet Union.
Describing
Putin as being “animated by nationalist impulses and
historic grievances,” the Post had a grievance
of its own with Putin who — after assuming power —
jailed one of Russia’s oligarchs who was a business
partner of the Post’s then-publishers, the
Graham family, heirs of Wall Street war profiteer Eugene
Meyer — first president of the World Bank, an early
member of the board of the Federal Reserve System and grandson
of the grand rabbi of France.
On
July 25, the Post amped up its assault on Putin.
The latest shrieking attack now drew Barack Obama into the
web, crying “President Obama hobnobs with donors as
Russia escalates its war of aggression,” bemoaning
the fact Obama had taken a fundraising trip to California
amidst the crisis over the Malaysian airliner.
Most
revealing was that the Post noted “frustration”
with what it called “Mr. Obama’s weakness”
in dealing with Putin was extending to the “top ranks
of the Democratic Party,” citing three Putin bashers
— Sens. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), Carl Levin (Mich.)
and Robert Menendez (N.J.) — who are among the Senate’s
most pivotal Democratic parrots for the Zionist lobby and
allies of the top Republican critics of Putin — John
McCain (Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (S.C.) — the Senate’s
most energetic GOP advocates for Israel.
The
nature of this “bipartisan” opposition to Putin
— from pro-Zionist operatives — underscores
that much of the anti-Putin clamor comes precisely because
he is considered a danger to Israel and to monied Jewish
interests in the West.
On
July 28 — in case anyone missed the point —
the Post’s editorial page editor Fred Hiatt
— a CFR member — chimed in with a signed commentary
again trashing Obama for, among other things, not being
tough enough on Putin.
Describing
Obama’s attempts at “a cautious, modest retreat”
from U.S. meddling in global affairs— which the CFR
man said was “an experiment gone wrong” that
“expose[s] the dangers of U.S. disengagement”
— Hiatt asserted that while Obama “argued that
America should concentrate on ‘nation- building here
at home,’ ”what resulted “is a far more
dangerous world.”
Hiatt
sounded like New York’s Jewish Press —
a Putin-bashing journal — which on June 6 called Obama
“the neo-isolationist president” whose foreign
policy will “diminish America’s pivotal, stabilizing
role around the world.”
As
far back as Feb. 25, 2013, Post commentator Jennifer
Rubin — associated with American Jewish Committee
circles — declared that “for all intents and
purposes, [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu is
now the West’s protector.”
The Post echoes Jewish internationalist, advocate for
Israel and fanatical Putin critic William Kristol who gloated
in the neoconservative Weekly Standard on March
24 that “a war-weary public can be awakened and rallied
. . . . All that’s needed is the rallying. And the
turnaround can be fast.”
So
the Post is doing the rallying. And as a media
powerhouse, which shapes the mindset of official Washington,
what the Post says is influential, no matter how
much grassroots America might reject what the Post has to
say.
