Pussy Riot, The
Unfortunate Dupes of Amerikan Hegemony
My heart goes out to
the three Russian women who comprise the Russian rock band,
Pussy Riot. They were brutally deceived and used by the
Washington-financed NGOs that have infiltrated Russia. Pussy
Riot was sent on a mission that was clearly illegal under
statutory law.
You have to admire and
to appreciate the spunk of the young women. But you have to
bemoan their gullibility. Washington needed a popular issue
with which to demonize the Russian government for standing
up to Washington’s intention to destroy Syria, just as
Washington destroyed Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, and as
Washington intends to destroy Lebanon and Iran.
By intentionally
offending religious worshipers--which would be a hate crime
in the US and its European and British puppet states--the
talented young women violated a statutory Russian law.
Prior to the women’s
trial, Russian President Putin expressed his opinion that
the women should not be harshly punished. Taking the cue
from Putin, the judge gave the women, deceived and betrayed
by the amerikan-financed NGOs, two years instead of seven
years.
I am advised that
after six months, Putin will see that the women are
released. But, of course, that would not serve the
propaganda of the Amerikan Empire. The instructions to the
Washington-financed fifth column in Russia will be to make
any government leniency for Pussy Riot impossible.
Washington-organized
protests, riots, property damage, assaults on state and
religious images by Washington’s Russian dupes will make it
impossible for Putin to stand up to nationalist opinion and
commute the sentences of the Pussy Riot women.
This is what
Washington wants. As Washington continues to murder vast
numbers of people around the globe, it will point its finger
at the fate of Pussy Riot. The western bought-and-paid-for
presstitute media will focus on Russia’s evil, not on the
evil of Washington, London, and the EU puppet states who are
slaughtering Muslims by the bucket-full.
The disparity between
human rights in the west and in the east is astonishing.
When a Chinese trouble-maker sought protection from
Washington, the Chinese “authoritarian” government allowed
the person to leave for America. But when Julian Assange,
who, unlike the presstitute western media, actually provides
truthful information for the western peoples, was granted
political asylum by Ecuador, Great (sic) Britain, bowing to
the country’s amerikan master, refused the obligatory free
passage from the UK.
The UK government,
unlike the Chinese government, doesn’t mind violating
international law, because it will be paid buckets of money
by Washington for being a pariah state.
As Karl Marx said,
money turns everything into a commodity that can be bought
and sold: government, honor, morality, the writing of
history, legality. Nothing is immune to purchase.
This
development of capitalism has reached the highest stage in
the US and its puppet states, the governments of which sell
out the interest of their peoples in order to please
Washington and be made rich, like Tony Blair’s $35 million.
Sending their citizens to fight for Washington’s empire in
distant parts of the world is the service for which the
utterly corrupt European politicians are paid.
Despite the
wondrous entity known as European Democracy, the European
peoples and the British are unable to do anything about
their misuse in Washington’s interest. This is a new form of
slavery. If a country is an amerikan ally, its people are
amerikan slaves.
