Obama Contra Putin

-OR WHY AMERICA NEEDS TO PAY RUSSIA SOME RESPECT

                With an American currently under arrest in Russia for spying, it seems that a New Cold War is afoot, with Vladimir Putin re-arming the Russian military to reassert Russia’s position in the world. What is going on? Russia was supposed to have been outspent in the Cold War, and happy to be a power among powers gladly accepting American preeminence. This is the common conception. This is the common error.

                Why are Russia and America in constant conflict?

                There seems to be an endless war with Russia fueled by an American need to hate the Slavs. Race has a place in the discussion. Slavs, and people east of the Elbe, have been regarded as inferior ever since Rome drew its borders along the Rhine. We are the cultural inheritors of this European tradition of regarding Russians as inferior beings by virtue of their mere existence astride their swath of the Eurasian landmass.

                There was a fear in America, a fear of communism, which flared up with the destruction of the Tzar. It is called the Red Scare, and predated McCarthyism by a few decades.                          

The first Red Scare dates from the 20s and 30s with the Moscow show trials. It seemed that Russia had some power to turn humans into Marxist Zombies.

                                In WW2 the Soviets lost more people than any nation in the fight against Hitler, of which Stephen Ambrose has never written a book. Stalingrad, Vyazma, Kursk, Berlin. These battles destroyed the Reich. Russian armies got their trucks from America freeing their factories to produce T-34s, the best tank of the war.

                                Who financed the Russian buildup? Elites in the West. This is a fact. Russia was a society which ran on money and needed to get this money somewhere. Lenin was transported by train to Russia by the German monarchy. He only won majority once and named the Bolsheviks after this fact. Russian slave labor was used in these Russian projects.                  

We responded in the 50s with Gestapo tactics against those who were Communists. We then instituted MK Ultra and hired ‘ex’ Nazis to do our work, begging the question why we even bothered to fight a war against them in the first place. Meanwhile European Russia was still largely a wasteland from its occupation by the German Army. The Cold War was a mutual paranoia of two superpowers and their people. World War 2 has a lot to do as to why both countries expected a surprise attack: both nations entered the most destructive war in history via surprise attacks, in spite of the multiple warnings they both received about Pearl Harbor and Barbarossa.

                Curiously, WMDs and MAD that kept conventional war between the two powers from erupting. Our strategy now seems to be to ignore our current nuclear stockpile and deter WMD attacks via invasion, in opposition to our approach during the cold war.

                The Cold War ended with the U.S. having ‘outspent’ the Soviets, and then promptly adopting the same type of military overspending and insane governmental policy that ruined the Soviets. Since Putin, Russia has kept up the type of economic growth only dreamed of by U.S. presidents and maintains a tax code that is fairer than ours. In addition, Putin has reined in oligarchs following the financial collapse.

We gave them TARP.

                Russia has maintained a conservative foreign policy. We have surrounded both Russia and China with bases and did not admit Russia to NATO when they asked to join. There has never been a Russian-American alliance against China. In their war against Chechnya, we have not taken their side despite apparent common interest.   

The Cold War was a perpetual war. Sun Tzu says this is bad. It is.

                Let’s compare Putin to Obama.

                Putin: probably shot and tortured people.

                Obama: organized some poor people to, whatever, grumble?

                Putin: high level Judo combatant

                Obama: Beat a…….Mormon….in the last election….

                Get it together America

                Though at press time it has been reported that Obama had taken up the practice of extra-judicial killing.

China

China

China is in fact a paper tiger whose elite has sold its country down the same river of oblivion as the elite of this nation. China always has been a militarily weak nation. As displayed during the Tianamen protests, its populace is a disarmed mob. China’s current military strategy, while seeking grand visions of ruling half of the pacific; funded by black money that it does not report to the international community, but in fact it is merely seeking to make itself strong enough to survive the inevitable debtor-creditor war which is certain to strike once the United States loses its currency and China dumps its dollars. Mass economic dislocation will take place on both sides of the Pacific and Neo-Fascist retrenchment will be seen on both sides. There has been a sort of strange meeting in the middle; a borrowing of corporate authoritarianism from China. There is in turn a borrowing of a bit of so called freedom from the U.S. into China. What is emerging is a global multinational consensus towards totalitarian capital.  The rise of China owes itself entirely to the blood-soaked currency which flows from China into K-Street and into Wall Street. The biggest of the scandals involving this nation was the downright traitorous transfers of technology by the Clinton administration enabling Beijing to build its first ICBMs.

            The rise of China is not some grand history making axis as some have portrayed it, but it is merely analogous to the rise of another western nation. That said, China is setting goals and careening toward them. Their government is effective and hungry. China, over a period of decades, devoured alive all North American manufacturing and defecated its results to Wal-Mart. Investors have piled in more dollars than it would've taken to make the necessary upgrades to industry in the states many times over. Shipbuilding in China was allowed to rise funded by the west. Roadways and rails link the country and allow the central government to extend control over various ethnic groups. Abroad, both Venezula and Iran benefit from China. Economic rights, while expanded have not translated into political rights. India is threatened by China, who deploys missiles in Tibet directly north of them. The Russian far-east is flooded with immigrants from China.            

Washington has allowed China to rise.

Quotes

'The ideal of super capitalism is the standardization of humans from cradle to grave.”

'When does a capitalistic concern cease to be an economic phenomenon? When its size transforms it into a social one. It is then that the concern......throws itself like a dead weight into the arms of the state. It is then that state intervention begins and becomes ever more necessary'

'Now we are burying economic liberalism'

-Mussolini

Socialism

Socialism

Most nominal free-thinkers are only products of their time. If the socialist be in a minority; they will self-destruct. If in majority, they will wipe out all minority opinions. They do not kill ideas by debate, as this is the only way to change them, but rather they kill the holders of ideas. Thus, once a communist system comes into power it will prevent any from changing the system as they did.  Socialism is a parasite. Capitalism has never been practiced anywhere. There have never been any free-trades in the purely philosophical sense. But socialism is simply built on the idea of destroying Greater Man by feeding on him dozens of lesser everymen. The greater person may have different stripes of wealth, whether in the possession of money, spirit, or even happiness attained. But this person will be dragged down. This is ultimately why, in a psycho-spiritual sense, socialism develops constant shortages and degradation. The final material destruction comes after the spiritual fetters have come to the citizens of a truly ‘socially-minded’ people. Economics as practiced in the west has commodification to answer this.

            Political Correctness is a communist term and for it to come to fore in the west should have sent far more shudders down spines than it did. Once a man is robbed of his thoughts, his intellectual life taken from him,  he is robbed of his chance to procreate in the most lasting sense.

            State education will never allow him to pass the ideas to his children.  Government education is a crime perpetrated on the individual, and is a process of regimentation.

            Human freedom will never be reached or attained by the overthrow of one social system and the institution of another. Socialism is inherently dictatorial. Governments arise from the dispositions of men in them; from the culture- the art, the philosophy, et al that make up its constituents; and the material factors; economy and the physical facts of life, geography and sociological environs. Humanities’ metaphysical nature is as an individual.

            The ten points of the communist manifesto are in effect in every nation and as such can be regarded as gospel, whether conscious or otherwise, for the modern state.

            Nanny state socialism is the religion of our time.

Proletarian dictatorship is an oxymoron. Marx was merely reshaping the Leviathan to evolving times. Government and money are instituted, and are not natural to humans, though they descend from natural impulses. Money is a holder of value, and if anyone wishes to see a state without money who later acquired it, one should look to Sparta prior and then after the Peloponnesian war. Money, where it is lacking in civilization, tends to return. Without it, societies have to find another means to judge men, none of which is so readily available.
