George W. Bush Lets Slip the Hypocrisy at the Heart of the Modern West

George W. Bush Lets Slip the Hypocrisy at the Heart of the Modern West






George W. Bush ordered a western invasion of the Middle East which led to the deaths of millions, the destruction of the oldest Christian communities on earth, and the rise of ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

So it seems that even when he tries to denounce Vladimir Putin, something deep in his psyche cannot help but escape:

Former President George W. Bush: “The decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean of Ukraine.”

I distinctly remember watching bombs fall on Baghdad indiscriminately one evening in 2003.

The invasion was based on lies - that Saddam Hussein had links with Al Qaeda, that the people of Middle East wanted western democracy, and that weapons of mass destructions were being built for use on the west.

Many western nations joined Bush’s evil crusade, including Blair’s Britain and a swathe of Eastern European countries who were rewarded with NATO membership in gratitude - despite Bush Senior having promised Russia that NATO would not expand after the reunification of Germany. (Bush Senior even travelled to Kiev to warn Ukrainians that a hard nationalism there would not be supported by the west.)

These sins would be repeated by the west in Libya, where militant Islamic terrorists would be supported by NATO bombing. Altogether, Obama’s interventions in Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen would lead to the deaths of over a million civilians.

It is the hypocrisy which sickens me. Putin has been restrained compared to what the US would do if Russia and China started running the Mexican military.

Just recently, the US threatened the tiny nation of the Solomon Islands with military action if they hosted the Chinese military. Where are the Solomon Islands, again?

It was the Americans who got involved in Ukraine first, orchestrating a coup in 2014, in favour of a regime which has been bombing its Russian-speaking territories ever since, killing over 14 000 according to the UN.

Putin moves across his own border and the world loses its mind. The West rains down hell on countries on the other side of the world and the media laps it up.

And now the US is pouring weapons to defend its puppet regime in Ukraine, risking nuclear war. And apparently the US will not stop until the Pride flag flies proudly over every Eastern European nation.

After Iraq and covid, I am sure you can trust the the media and the US this time.

This time, they are not lying, surely?

The Next Step for the World Economic Forum

The Next Step for the World Economic Forum BY  ROGER KOOPS      FEBRUARY 20, 2022 I t has been obvious since early 2020 that there has been an organized cult outreach that has permeated the world as a whole. It’s possible that this formed out of a gigantic error, rooted in a sudden ignorance of cell biology and long experience of public health. It is also possible that a seasonal respiratory virus was deployed by some people as an opportunity to seize power for some other purpose.  Follow the money and influence trails and the latter conclusion is hard to dismiss.  The clues were there early. Even before the WHO declared a pandemic in March 2020 (at least several months behind the actual fact of a pandemic) and before any lockdowns, there were media blitzes talking about the “New Normal” and talk of the “Great Reset” (which was rebranded as “Build Back Better”).  Pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, and Astra-Zeneca were actively lobbying governme

The State of Emergency, Coercive Medicine, and Academia

The State of Emergency, Coercive Medicine, and Academia by   Maximilian C. Forte "Two weeks to flatten the curve,” is what we heard across Canada 1  just after March 11, 2020, when the World Health Organization unilaterally declared a global “pandemic” according to new criteria developed in 2009 that emphasized transmissibility over lethality. 2  We are now approaching two years of a crisis that is routinely and deceptively blamed on “Covid”. Politicians, public health officials, and the mass media have made persistent pronouncements that tended towards the inflation of grim numbers and the exaggeration of threats. 3 The State of Emergency and its Consequences Building on expanded threat perception, authorities have deliberately promoted fear, induced panic, and created stress. 4  With the public suffering an epidemic of fear bordering on mass psychosis, 5  states have multiplied and escalated the number and types of restrictions, few of which have the support of even a single pub

What the Media Is HIDING About Ukraine/Russia

Thanks to CoCoLuv9491 for recommending this video... What the Media Is HIDING About Ukraine/Russia While the mainstream US media chant with one voice for war and to place full responsibility for the Ukraine crisis on Russia, a cursory investigation of NATO’s meddling in Ukraine’s affairs for more than a decade reveals how economic interests of weapons manufacturers and the fossil fuel industry have led to the military conflict we’re experiencing today. Jimmy and The Grayzone’s Aaron Maté ( https://mate.substack.com ) discuss western and NATO complicity in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Source: The Jimmy Dore Show
