VICTIMS OF PSYOPS
“PSYOP: Psychological operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of governments, organizations, groups, and individuals.
The purpose of United States psychological operations is to induce or reinforce behavior perceived to be favorable to U.S. objectives.”
Thus, the American people are continuously subject to a number of psychological operations otherwise known as “the news.” – – Consortium News
Michael Gorbachev became leader of the Soviet Union in 1985 during the U.S. Presidency of Ronald Reagan. Both men saw the need to end the cold war and bring the nuclear arms race under control. They would become friends and did indeed end the cold war and establish arms treaties.
George H. W. Bush replaced Reagan as president in 1990 and continued the dialogue with Gorbachev. In meetings between then U.S. Secretary of State James Baker and Gorbachev in 1990, the Soviet Union agreed to the reunification of Germany and the dismantling of the Berlin wall. In return, the U.S. promised Gorbachev that “NATO would not move 1 inch to the east.” This is well documented in the National Security Archives at George Washington University.
The Soviet Union dissolved in 1991. The Warsaw Pact, the Soviet military equivalent to NATO in the eastern bloc countries, was also disbanded. The cold war was over. Russia could become a trading partner on friendly terms with western Europe. There would be peace and no further need for the Warsaw Pact.
Trusting the U.S. to keep its word regarding NATO expansion would prove to be a grave error for Russia.
Bill Clinton became president in 1994. Ignoring the advice of America’s most experienced diplomats to Russia, Clinton began expanding NATO. The Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland were added in 1999. Russia complained but took no action.
George W. Bush became president in 2002. In 2004 Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia became NATO members. Most of these nations were former members of the Soviet Union. Again, Russia took no action, but Russian President Vladimir Putin made clear in a speech in Munich in 2007 that NATO expansion was a threat to all. Ignoring Russia’s legitimate concerns, in 2008 Bush announced at the NATO summit in Romania that Ukraine and Georgia would be next to join the alliance.
This was the reddest of red lines for Russia. It would place U.S. arms, military bases, and missiles along Russia’s 1400-mile border with Ukraine. Far worse than the 1962 Russian missiles in Cuba, this was the equivalent of Russia installing military bases and missiles along the Mexican border with America. America would not tolerate this, and neither would Russia. Quoting John Matlock, the last U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union:
“I consider the administration’s recommendation to take new members into NATO at this time misguided. If it should be approved by the United States Senate, it may well go down in history as the most profound strategic blunder made since the end of the Cold War. Far from improving the security of the United States, its Allies, and the nations that wish to enter the Alliance, it could well encourage a chain of events that could produce the most serious security threat to this nation since the Soviet Union collapsed.”
“What Putin is demanding is eminently reasonable. He is not demanding the exit of any NATO member and he is threatening none. By any common-sense standard, it is in the interest of the United States to promote peace, not conflict. To try to detach Ukraine from Russian influence — the avowed aim of those who agitated for the “color revolutions” — was a fool’s errand, and a dangerous one. Have we so soon forgotten the lesson of the Cuban Missile Crisis?”
In 2009 Albania and Croatia were brought into NATO and tragically in 2014, under the supervision of Vice President Joe Biden, the U.S. orchestrated a violent coup which overthrew the democratically elected President of Ukraine, Victor Yanukovich, who had run on a platform of keeping Ukraine out of NATO and maintaining a friendly relationship with Russia. In place of Yanukovich, the U.S. installed a corrupt, neo-Nazi Ukrainian oligarch, Petro Poroshenko.
It is indicative how totally victimized by PSYOPS the people of America and Europe actually are in believing Russia wants to expand westward, when the exact opposite is what has actually occurred. The U.S. and NATO have, factually, expanded eastward to Russia’s borders and have been trying for decades to topple Russian leadership and break Russia up in order to colonize and privatize its resources.
The war in Ukraine could be ended with a phone call. As Ambassador Matlock has said: “What Putin is demanding is eminently reasonable.” In a nutshell, Russian demands come down to – – – “Do not put U.S. military bases, armaments and missiles near our borders. This puts our beloved nation, Russia, and our dear people, in a state of intolerable risk. We cannot, we will not, live with this.”
The phone call from U.S. President Joe Biden to Russian President Vladimir Putin would be simple:
“President Putin, thank you for taking my call. You are right. America should not have expanded the military organization, NATO, to your borders. We should not have overthrown the democratically elected president of Ukraine who wanted to maintain friendly relations with Russia and wanted to keep the U.S. military out of Ukraine. We should not have placed missiles in Romania and Poland that can destroy Moscow and St. Petersburg in 7 minutes from launch.
President Putin, America will pull its arms out of Ukraine and its missiles out of Romania and Poland. We will assist in finding an independent nation – perhaps Turkey – to negotiate a peaceful settlement between the people of Russia and the people of Ukraine. We will end the sanctions we have imposed on Russia and help restore the friendly trade relationships Russia had with Western Europe before we interfered. We will help rebuild the Nordstream Pipeline we destroyed that you and Germany had built for the benefit of both your nations.
President Putin, we know it will take time to regain Russia’s trust, but we hope that eventually Russia and the United States can begin working cooperatively together, along with China and the Global South, to make our world a more peaceful and productive home for us all.
Thank you again President Putin, for taking my call. Perhaps we can have lunch together sometime.”
Tragically, with the NATO Summit recently concluded in Washington D.C., just the opposite of a peaceful settlement in Ukraine is the road being taken. U.S. PSYOPS have gone into hyper-drive. President Biden has thrown aside any sense of wise, dignified statesmanship and is once again claiming: “Make no mistake – the madman Putin won’t stop in Ukraine. He’s going take over all of Europe!”
Fear is a wonderful tool for manipulation, for putting an end to common sense and rational thought. The idea that Russia could somehow take over and occupy Western Europe – and there is not a shred of evidence it wants to – is ridiculous on the face of it. Any honest expert in military operations knows it would simply be physically impossible for Russia to occupy Europe. President Biden and his military advisors also know it. But fear is a wonderful tool for manipulation.
Living in a state of delusional fantasy, U.S. leadership honestly believes America is the “exceptional” empire destined to rule the world. But America, with its pawn “leaders” in Europe, is placing all humanity in grave danger. This is not some sick, delusional game of chicken, and Russia is not going to fall to a delusional U.S. hegemon. World War III and nuclear Armageddon will come first.
We Americans urgently need to wake up to what we have allowed our nation to become. We are the world’s evil madman. We are world’s great terrorist. We are the endless war mongers, the obstacle to the peace and cooperation so desperately sought by the great majority of world’s people.
The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has placed the Doomsday Clock at 90 seconds to midnight – closer than it has ever been before. The threat of nuclear holocaust is greater now than it was during the Cuban missile crisis and U.S. leadership lacks the wisdom and morals of John Kennedy and Nikita Khruschev to end the crisis peacefully. Our PSYOP media ignore the grave danger and Americans are oblivious.
But if we Americans do not address the insanity our nation is spreading throughout the world, the outcome of the upcoming election between two lost old men is irrelevant. Our only concern will be whether Earth’s remaining children will survive radiation poisoning and nuclear winter to continue the human race.
