What If China and Russia Were Allowed to Tell Their Story?
An assessment gets made that Americans and Europeans have become, in the words
of Eric Hoffer, 'True Believers'. But that's not all of the story. Gaining an overview of
American and European political science, for a long time, has not been an abiding
concern for Westerners, not when compared to acquiring vacation and motor—homes.
Two factors came together to dumb down the West: complacency from 'sitting on top
of the world', and well-placed, endless propaganda funding—to keep evil—'unseen'.
But what if China, Russia (Iran), were able to tell their side of the story—open to
scrutiny and analysis by the media. From those 'stories' we would gain a perspective.
It would become clear that China had a plan for Taiwan: Taiwan would become part
of China out of economic necessity in about 20 years, and, until then, the 'One China'
policy (accepted by the UN/EU/US), would remain the ongoing political consensus.
But that's not what happened. Pelosi, at the end of her reign had to stick it to China
by visiting Taiwan in her capacity as Speaker of the House. She was not well re-
ceived—there were protests outside her hotel, and because of that visit (and Taiwan
not wanting to be interfered with), the Taiwanese president was voted out of office.
The story of Russia would tell us that 97% of Hungarians know the Russian sanc-
tions were a mistake that have not worked and are the cause for European deprivation.
US neocons pretend the problems in Ukraine began last February, belied by a phony
RussiaGate, purposed for future proxy or direct war. That rendition of history is accom-
panied by State Department assertions (there must have been history before last Feb-
ruary?), that Putin had nothing to fear from NATO—he did this, acting precipitously.
We in the West are force-fed that NATO never attacks a nation unless that nation
has attacked one of our own. Really? What about NATO a sponsored Serbia/Kosovo
horror? Or, Libya? Was that a Tom Cruise 'Minority Report' thing—getting ahead of a
future attack? Isn't this the same situation Putin found himself in? He had been warning
NATO since the 1990's that weaponizing Ukraine would cause Russia having to act.
This fact was known to others: political scientist, John Mearsheimer, knew, Stephen
Cohen, our best Russian analyst, knew. In fact, anyone following the story—knew.
Even with these warnings, over decades, no steps were taken by the West to head-
off armageddon—quite the opposite. Why was that? Because they were living out a
plan, set in motion by the likes of the Dulles brothers and Brzezinski, that it was imper-
ative to break-up Russia (a gas station masquerading as a nation), take control of its
vast resources and weaponize 1000's of miles of China's border—as China was next.
Now, 'Western Fantasia' has Ukraine prevailing over Russia, bringing to mind early
Mike Tyson opponents predicting a knock-out. Minsk Agreement lies were a diversion
tactic to prepare for war with Russia. Then came the election of Zelenskyy, on a peace-
platform—elected by Ukrainians on a promise to make good on 'Minsk'—and peace.
If only history could have begun last February, unanswered questions would disap-
pear. Take a run-back though media history on the NAZI AZOV Battalion, or Ukrainian
political corruption—any print media or network will suffice. If it hasn't been deleted,
there was nothing—NOTHING—good said about either. When history restarted last
February, the AZOVs/Ukraine became 'our boys'—as did Syrian ISIS freedom fighters.
Before there can be peace talks in Ukraine, Russia has to abandon its gains, hand-
ing Russians back to Ukraine for justice—and Putin needs to be tried as a war criminal.
Imagine a trial where Russia is not allowed to examine documents or witnesses? Sup-
pose I speak for Russia and agree to Putin's trial, but first we try those who came be-
fore him—with an agreement to accept 'World Court' verdicts. For starters we could do
Blair, Bill Clinton/Hillary. W. Bush and Cheney, Obama and the little Obamas, Pompeo
and Bolton (and by default Trump), Presidents responsible for NATO expansion, East-
ward, all non-scientist tyrants, Fauci, etcetera. Oh, did I forget Walensky/Gates/FBI?
Before putting nations on trial as war criminals, maybe we should remember John
Quincey Adam's advise, to not roam the world looking for monsters—we have plenty at
home. The founders gave us The Constitution, as a reasoned-basis to chart a sustain-
able future, but the US moved forward, mostly without a plan—we simply moved for-
ward. We expanded our resource base Westward for 150 years—which required the
slaughter/enslavement of 'First Americans'. Reaching the Pacific, we then roamed the
world, accessing resources 'on the cheap' through 'force of arms', having re-purposed
God-given 'manifest destiny' into 'American exceptionalism' and 'rules-based order'.
Now, the US finds itself as a line from a Jimmy Buffet song: "The cannon don't thun-
der; there's nothing to plunder; I'm an over 40 victim of fate." We are done—it just
needs some time. Young Americans are no match for Russians, mainly because they
are not interested. If using cell phone gives away one's position—we are all dead.
We made a bet that had nothing to do with 'minding our own business'. Instead, we
sought a new version of 'petrodollar'—gain 'ultimate control' by taking down Russia for
our own ends. But that won't work. Russia won't let that happen, and China will not let
Russia go down—because they are next. Iran also, along with all the BRICS and
BRICS wannabe's—each are feeling a 'tectonic shift' and sense a coming earthquake.
For the US it's a choice between '3rd-world' status and nuclear Armageddon. For the
EU, without energy but with migrant strife, its '4th-world' status with mayhem in the
streets. Elite games being played in the West, to gain power over the populace, will in
the end, even if somewhat successful, will be inconsequential next to global reality.
The story of China and Russia is now being played-out in real time—though not re-
ported in the West. But that doesn't matter because the curtain has been raised on Act
1 of "Death of a Western Salesman"—with all the world attending the performance.
The story not told here is about money, currency, credit, debt—and sanctions. What
got us here and how it is that there is no way back from whence we came. Next time.
