US/NATO War on Russia

[Peter Presland]

March 30, 2014

Isn't Ashton a fine hypocrite? A month ago these people were driving the putsch and the U.S. and the EU lauded the violence they used as "peaceful" while condemning the rather passive police force. Now such violence is suddenly against the "rule of law". What a joke.

But even worse. Now the Right Sektor fascists are revealed to be Russian agents:

.......

If the U.S. wants to it can surely pressure Poroshenko to get its will implemented. Ignoring the Russian opinion on Ukraine will not solve any problem but would rather lead to new upheavals.

I try hard not to dwell on absurdities like that anymore - I'm on a small dose of Ramapril as it is!

The plain fact is that a policy has been decided upon, so any and ALL 'facts' will be either ignored or spun to fit the policy, no matter how contradictory or how many semantic somersaults are required. It seems the mass of the Western population can still be relied upon not to notice such things. Per Andre Vitchek:

....After working in some one hundred and fifty countries, in all the continents, I have finally come to the absolutely clear conclusion: there is no part of the world as brainwashed, so programmed, so indoctrinated, as are both Europe and North America.

As for Ashton, she is a C-grade, time-serving, appointed party hack. She reminds me a bit of that other 'devoid-of-charisma-and-ability former foreign secretary Margaret Beckett, though she at least had the merit of having been elected. Both are conspicuous for absolutely nothing other than parroting the 'talking-points' handed to them by you-know-who, no matter how absurd.

It reminds me a bit of an experience I had in 1967 in Shanghai. At the height of Mao's Cultural Revolution I was an engineer on a merchant ship and, on arrival alongside, the entire ships company were required to muster in the officers' lounge. We were given a lecture on the wonders of the revolution - in English - by a young, fresh-faced PLA officer. The problem was that he clearly didn't actually SPEAK English and had simply learned the 'speech' parrot fashion. It was one of the funniest performances I have ever heard - but I didn't laugh and neither did anyone else, because he was accompanied by 4 armed and clearly battle-hardened gorillas whose facial expressions and general demeanor was enough to keep everyone silent and VERY attentive indeed.

Ashton is that PLA officer and, with any luck, an increasing number of people find her likes just as funny. No 'armed gorillas' analogue - yet - but the way things are developing my guess is it's only a matter of time.
