Call this one ‘the Iranian (Pierre Omidyar) who owns a Jew (Glenn Greenwald) that pimps a Polack (Marcin Mamoń)’ in a case that is, prima facie, an information operation. With focus having come to the fact of Pierre Omidyar, The Intercept’s bankroller, has funded elements in Ukraine leading to the overthrow of the Yanukovich regime, a de facto support contributing to the present civil war, clearly Omidyar has been supporting the side of those now constituting the regime in Kiev. How will The Intercept spin it’s bending over to take billionaire ‘Shah-man’ Omidyar’s shaft from behind?
The Intercept previously hosting Askold Krushelnycky (see ‘The Intercept Takes A Dive‘) struck me as similar to The Nation hosting Bob Drefuss or the Washington Post providing a platform to David Ignatius; a professional liar does not add a ‘fair and balanced’ perspective (recalls FOX NEWS) but merely tosses a monkey wrench into the gears of truth.
Now we have some famous Polish journalist (famous in Poland, in any case), Marcin Mamoń, has been taken on by The Intercept, and he somehow manages to screw Greenwald while in the same moment giving Omidyar a blow-job:
This newest one reads as though it’d been scripted by the brighter minds of western intelligence; following initial references to “Russian backed [ethnic Russian] separatists” suddenly the language changes:
“When Kolomoisky saw that the Russians might capture Dnipropetrovsk”
And
“When the Russians stopped approximately 120 miles short of Dnipropetrovsk, Kolomoisky suddenly lost interest and stopped paying the volunteer battalions”
And
“There are suspicions that his location was betrayed to the Russians”
And
“They came to a small village called Chernukhino, where they stumbled upon Russian soldiers. There was shooting, and the Chechens killed a few Russians — the rest of the Russians withdrew. The Russians, however, managed to give the village’s coordinates to their artillery, and soon all hell broke loose”
So, it goes like this: Russians, Russians, Russians, Russian soldiers, Russians, Russians, Russians.
Proof? Or is everyone on the side opposed to Kiev “Russian” for the sake of Mamoń’s journalism? The bias (at the least) is palpable; the forceful point in subliminal psychology being driven home is ‘these are Russian soldiers.’ The CIA psy-ops people have to be high-fiving over at Langley. The Intercept just morphed Ukrainians who happen to be ethnic Russian separatists: into Putin’s army in the Donbass region of Ukraine.
Notable neglect in the coverage is; even if his volunteer troops are not expecting to be paid, how does the Chechen commander feed, transport and keep his 500 man battalion provided with ammunition, if his benefactor had dumped his force months previous to this? War is an incredibly expensive business. Villagers handing out cabbage and sausages just won’t get the job done. There has to have been serious alternative financing, and that is skirted with a vague reference to ‘help’ from the ‘Ukrainian people.’
Insofar as the point of the Kiev aligned volunteer battalions, Mamoń’s thesis is, these are a case of ‘the chickens come home to roost’ for Putin. Their ties to Islamic State coupled to the Ukrainian authorities at Kiev not only tolerate them, but somehow must be logistically supporting them, doesn’t really enter the picture. His article imparts a sort of strange rehabilitation worthy of those western Ukrainian fascists who worship Stephan Bandera. A kind of ‘they were justified’ rationale overlooking these are rank criminals and committed terrorists.
At the end of the day, I don’t give a rat’s ass if Marcin Mamoń is on easy terms with Chechen militants & big-shot Islamic State personalities, and neither should Glenn Greenwald be impressed; this Mamoń guy smells BAD and his ‘Eau de Omidyar’ is distinct in the air; if everyone on the Donbass region’s separatist side is Russian, we can just as easily make the case (more accurately) many, many fighters on the Kiev side are Nazi, that is with the exception of certain Chechen fighters, hosted by Kiev, and at least some apparently provided courtesy of the Islamic State.
On former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe’s account of crime & corruption inside the American and Israeli political & intelligence establishments with notes on Robert Parry’s (mis)reporting (non-fiction.) My analysis, projecting where the events documented by Ben-Menashi have since progressed to, in italics (part two, following this review.)
As a metaphor, it could be said this is a book about cannibalism. Restated, this book is a well organized, compelling narrative, of how intelligence agencies, in process of engineering geopolitics, prey on people. It is a honest narrative of several of the most criminal personalities of our era. It is a story of the organized murders, via arms traffickers in the service of greed & ego (disguised as patriotism) of too many people to count. And, it is a story of Ari Ben-Menache’s naïveté.
Relating to the author’s specific biographical narrative, or personal self-criticism, the book is an honest confessional of how it came to pass a young man (Ari) with a certain sense of ethics, had been drawn into a set of circumstance that saw his better judgement compromised as he becomes involved more deeply in the web of geopolitical intrigue. The confessions in this regard are necessary; to underwrite the veracity of the author’s more important revelations. Assessing the psychology of Ben-Menache, one sees a determination to come clean. This aspect convinces, more so than the many detractors of the book’s content and attacks on the author.
As time goes on, among other assignments, Ben-Menache facilitates illegal arms trafficking on a scale that might be scarcely believable to the uninitiated. Considering his narration is by no means a comprehensive account of international armaments dealing, one might stop and reflect on the enormity of a problem; where arms trafficking has become so entrenched & integral to the economics of modern nations, any realistic moves to curtail the industry must meet with a Faustian dilemma of damage to the western democracies economic engines. Ben-Menache does not stray into this negative philosophical territory but the implication is in the wider view of what he writes about, or the sheer volume of the trade. One is reminded it is not only weapons systems but the vast amounts of munitions required to run those systems, are in play.
Within the macrocosm of this suicidal regency of arms trafficking he so eloquently develops, the threads Ben-Menache pursues are both interesting and damning.
One can plainly see Robert Gates had covertly run the criminal enterprise that is the operations division of the CIA for well over the decade covered by Ben-Menache. Following George H.W. Bush & Robert Gates making a deal with Iran’s ayatollahs to keep the 52 embassy hostages, to insure Jimmy Carter’s electoral defeat in 1980 (see a linked American eyewitness account backing up Ben Menache’s eyewitness account of G.H.W. Bush’s presence at the Paris meeting to conclude the deal), Gates effectively took over the agency with Bill Casey’s stroke in 1981. Casey stayed on as director but Gates was the de facto man in charge. After Casey’s death, during the tenure of William Webster as Director of Central Intelligence, Webster was left out of the loop in operations run by Robert Gates. Webster (as Leon Panetta had in more recent times) served as a fig leaf director … with Robert Gates running the show behind the curtain. It’s not a stretch of the imagination to state Robert Gates (with the blessing of his criminally complicit boss, George H.W. Bush) ran the CIA from 1981 through 1992. The criminality of this tenure, as put forward by Ben-Menache, is nothing short of rank, felonious treason. By the end of Ben-Menache’s narrative, at the close of 1991, when the joint American-Israeli Iran-Contra operation had been wrapped up, there were a pair of “slush funds” totaling no less than 1.5 billion U.S. dollars (over 2.5 billion in 2015, adjusted for inflation), derived in large part from skimming profits off Iran-Contra (among other) arms deals. This money was split evenly between CIA & Israeli intelligence. Related to this, CIA & MOSSAD had been closely cooperating in international narcotics trafficking, responsible for vast amounts of cocaine smuggled into the USA to fund illegal adventures in Latin America (Iran-Contra particularly) behind the backs of, and prohibited by, Congress.
Ben-Menache goes on to describe splits and competitions, fratricide within MOSSAD, how LIKUD ran and benefited from the criminal enterprise he was engaged in, how extra-judicial murders are decided on by the Israeli intelligence chiefs, and much more. Of interest in this set of topics is how the Israeli side of the ‘slush fund’ proceeds are disposed of. Israeli prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir’s LIKUD used the monies for several noticeable purposes; not least buying West Bank land for Jewish settlements. This fund also bought votes and silence from American congressmen via bribes laundered through AIPAC. It should be noted here, the fund was never static; the USD $780 million Israeli share (excluding the CIA’s parallel fund) was RESIDUAL at the end of Ben-Menache’s tenure with Israeli intelligence. Many billions appear to have been cycled through the fund over the course of the ten years of his involvement. There is an impressive ability to raise and spend money demonstrated … all beyond the purview of legitimate institutions of accountability and associated rule of law.
In the midst of what can only be accurately described as a journey through a collective criminal insanity, there are lucid moments. Shamir is an interesting character with a special hate for Americans; for the indefensible act of refusing the Jews of Europe an escape to Palestine by rejecting out of hand any dealings with the Nazis on the issue prior to the ‘final solution.’ However this might overlook the rights (and ensuing plight) of the Palestinians in relation to what became the state of Israel, one can understand his point of view. Ben-Menache also caused me to think about Shamir in relation to the West Bank and particularly Jordan, a creation of the British empire. Colonial era borders have wrecked havoc throughout the world and Palestine is no exception. Shamir’s idea, setting aside all arguments of legitimacy & morality in favor of pragmatic geopolitics, it might have worked, was to turn Jordan into a Palestinian state. Jordan is 70% ethnic Palestinian Arab and there is little question Arafat would have gone along with the plan but the USA was adamantly opposed. If Shamir’s plan HAD been brought off, the likely result would have been a second ‘Nabka’ (my opinion) similar to the partition of India and Pakistan and the mass exodus of Muslims resulting in bitter enemies nonetheless but two functioning states, one Muslim & one Jewish. The wild card in this scenario would have been Jerusalem, where no one religion should have ascendancy over another … for the idea to work would require Jerusalem become an independent, secular city-state and that has never been in the cards. But I digress…
Labor aligned Nobel Laureate Shimon Peres demonstrates he is every bit as criminal as anyone in LIKUD, but not nearly as competent, when he tries to muscle in on the Iran-Contra take controlled by LIKUD politicians and their associates running Israeli intelligence. Shut out of the operation and its immense illicit profits, Peres sets out to open a ‘second channel’ to arm Iran; for purely pecuniary purposes. Organized crime integrated to intelligence agencies arms trafficking platform, and associated profits, is how LIKUD props itself up in Israel. Peres wanted a share for Labor. This is where Ben-Menache’s narrative is at odds with mainstream; but in a sensible way if one puts in context the information he develops. It was the 2nd channel Peres had attempted to open and operate, that took the fall for the entire Iran-Contra operation; these were the people hung out to dry. Meanwhile, the original (1st) channel continued to operate as though nothing had happened. When journalist Robert Parry claims for himself at the consortiumnews website…
“Investigative reporter Robert Parry broke many of the Iran-Contra stories for The Associated Press and Newsweek in the 1980s”
…it is a clear stretch of the imagination or worse. It was the 2nd channel had broken open in the press, all the while the 1st channel was never so much as dented. It is notable that Ben-Menache limits credit to Robert Parry’s journalism to two counts solely; verifying the authenticity of a few documents that were helpful at Ben-Menache’s trial (on trumped up charges) and two presentations for Frontline on PBS. A careful read of Ben-Menache’s narrative brings out what was never reported in mainstream, not in Newsweek and not by the Associated Press; the 2nd channel people were hung out to dry by the 1st channel people and the primary Iran-Contra players never missed a step.
A bomb dropped by Ben-Menache is the fact Robert McFarlane, Reagan’s National Security Adviser, was a spy for Israel. This discovery had been swept under the rug by the Americans to protect the administration (and George H.W. Bush’s presidential aspirations) but raises an interesting question; if the Israelis can own the American president’s National Security Adviser, where does the Israeli & AIPAC’s penetration end? An observation: compare McFarlane’s fate (hustled out of his position with a cover story and slap on the wrist) to that of Jonathan Pollard (imprisoned for life.) Pollard is described as the most damaging Israeli spy -ever- by the USA for media spin, what a laugh.
These preceding are only a taste of a work that methodically exposes the metadata of the American-Israeli intelligence relationship. Clearly Ben-Menache could have done by far more damage than he had, but he does provide a very clear outline of two highly politicized intelligence entities with leadership in what amounts to a dysfunctional marriage … at the top of the food chain the Americans and the Israelis intensely hate each other; even as they cooperate while screwing out of habit.
After Ben-Menache had forced Robert Gates’ hand in Paraguay, he was careless and let himself be ‘danced’ into an American sting that had red flags waving from the beginning. Had he become subliminally tired of his role in some of this world’s greatest criminal acts? In any case, it was the best thing that could have happened … he managed to beat the clumsy American entrapment and at the end of the day he’d set out to recover his humanity and managed it:
“I am a humbler man today than I was in the 1970s when I joined Israeli intelligence. I’ve learned the hard way that everyone makes mistakes, some of them so big that they are irrevocable. I’ve also changed my view of Israel and the Jewish people. When I was young, I shared with many Israelis a deep nationalistic feeling — the self-righteous and arrogant belief that we were right and everyone else was wrong, that it was more important for Jews and Israel to survive than others, that we were — as the Bible says — the chosen people. I still believe that Jews are chosen. But no longer can I accept the premise on which the Iranian arms deals were based: ‘Better that their boys die than ours.’ People are people. We are all chosen” -Ari Ben-Menache
When Peres sought to open a competing channel to arm Iran via the Iran-Contra business model, he accomplished little more than provide a screen for the 1st channel; in the event the business was to spill into the open. It is my opinion this is why George H.W. Bush and Robert Gates allowed the 2nd (Peres) channel to set itself up in business. From their point of view, it was a prescient move on account of the difficulty of keeping something as big as this had become, under wraps.
Robert Parry’s journalism notwithstanding, the authentic facts of Iran-Contra were never reported on in mainstream. What had been reported as the most salient facts were essentially a smokescreen. This is reinforced by the fact Newsweek had virulently attacked Ben-Menache’s narrative on publication; not long after presenting Robert Parry’s reporting on Iran-Contra as fact. These are irreconcilable phenomena except in the case of Ben-Menache’s considerably expanded account, undermining the limited picture spoon fed to the public by the press, is correct. The Iran-Contra ‘cover’ story had to be protected, investigations were ongoing and the CIA had engineered damage control. North and Poindexter et al, as complicit and stupid as they were, were nonetheless patsies. Robert Parry’s reporting over the ensuing years reinforces the idea his role, all along, has been that of a disinformation asset, whether willing or unwitting, for the CIA. Parry has moved on to pervert American constitutional history in contradiction of (one could say smearing) the anti-federalists intentions relating to checks on a central government, he puts a lot of energy into being an apologist for the inexcusable Obama and, not least, Parry denies the incontrovertible fact the official 9/11 report white-washed the actual circumstance of the collapse of WTC 7 on the afternoon of 11 September, 2001.
Recalling Robert McFarlane, Ronald Reagan’s National Security Adviser, had been working for Israeli intelligence, there is practically no position in American government cannot be construed to be at risk of penetration and compromise via MOSSAD & AIPAC. How this might play in the events of 9/11 is open to conjecture; Ariel Sharon, the Israeli prime minister on 9/11, was a man possessed of the necessary character to murder three thousand people in a gambit to get the USA to fight Israel’s wars, this much is clear. Whether MOSSAD had co-opted enough key people in the USA security apparatus to bring it off, is not. At odds with the Israelis’ initiating the attacks is the fact of Dick Cheney ordering the New York area air defense shut down for the morning of 11 September, while a ‘coincidental’ exercise was to be run simulating a ‘terrorist attack’ with jet liners crashing into New York sky-scrapers. Could Cheney’s team all have been Israeli assets? It seems unlikely. On the other hand, it is classic Israeli style to use their enemies, wherever possible, to take care of their most dirty work. And America is LIKUD’s enemy in a cold political calculation. Related to this, however MOSSAD and Saudi intelligence might cooperate in common geopolitical interests, most certainly Israel and Saudi Arabia are not friends. Utilizing al-Qaida as a front to initiate the attacks, or utilizing Saudis as patsies for a false-flag ‘terrorist’ attack, either one, is consistent with Israeli style; in the past MOSSAD has laundered operations through the PLO for purpose of everything from terrorism for propaganda purposes, to political murders. A second or alternative possibility is the Israelis duping the USA’s people into assisting with their operation. The Israelis may have/had the necessary access and certainly the motivation; whereas the Americans have repeatedly demonstrated they are guilty of that particular brand of hubris that is blinding. Another possible scenario is the USA’s geopolitical intelligence engineers having penetrated an Israeli operation and opened doors for the 9/11 actors, basically rolling out the red carpet for an Israeli run operation, unbeknownst to the Israelis, a covert co-option if you will. A fourth possibility is an Israeli-American joint venture (I lean towards this.) A fifth possibility is the Bush criminal syndicate responsible for 9/11, taking care to frame the Israelis in case the operation were to unravel. In any of these hypothesis, Rudy Guiliani (Trump’s private lawyer) having located his disaster headquarters in WTC Building 7, is key.
What’s almost certain is, Al-Qaida was a minor actor, a dupe and cover story, and was not primarily responsible for 9/11. Insofar as responsibility & accountability, there is none. These agencies or actors, with the likely exception of al-Qaida, would have access to tactical nuclear weapons or ‘suitcase nukes’ for purpose of false-flag terrorism, were it to come to the likes of a Bibi Netanyahu, or Bush family & Robert Gates’ associated Iran-Contra minions determination to up the ante as opposed to face accountability (noting Iran-Contra personalities have their fingerprints all over the USA security apparatus during the Bush Jr administration, 9/11 and coverup, recalling Iran-Contra was a joint MOSSAD-CIA operation.)
In the history of intelligence agencies narcotics trafficking, what is mentioned in Ben-Menache’s book is nothing new but is important confirmation this is a leopard will never shed its spots. Previous to Iran-Contra, the CIA had been big narco-traffickers in southeast Asia. Subsequent to Ben-Menashe’s narrative, during Robert Gates tenure as Secretary of Defense under George W. Bush, carried on into the Obama administration, heroin trafficking has boomed throughout the American occupation of Afghanistan.
It cannot be construed to be an accident Robert Gates had been instrumental in dramatically enlarging the USA’s special operations forces in numbers and increasing integration of those special operations forces to CIA clandestine operations, under Obama. Since the electoral coup d’état of 1980, the real power of the Bush family cabal, the CIA covert operations branch (run from behind the scene by ‘family capo’ Robert Gates) has been strengthened & consolidated –
Updated 13 September 2019
Current report on Israeli intelligence penetration of nearly every aspect of the American security apparatus (it is quite a lengthy but meticulously researched and documented investigative report) at Mint Press News:
September 2019 release: Four year study of the 9/11 World Trade Center Building 7 collapse by the University of Alaska engineering department concluding the official story is bullshit:
And with that short mail concerning the (above linked) article at The Intercept, you will discover a short, shallow piece that parrots a Ukrainian (Kiev) narrative claiming Ukrainian forces have downed a Russian surveillance drone. What’s wrong with this picture? As a former qualified operator of an American surface to air missile system (Improved HAWK) I can tell you right off this is a surface to air missile systems test drone and not a surveillance model. It is as simple as the color. A surveillance drone will be painted to blend with the sky. The Russians are not going to beg Kiev’s forces to shoot down one of their surveillance drones by sending it overhead painted bright orange.
Now, to the article’s author; Askold Krushelnycky. Firstly, in his own words, he was clearly in the camp of the so-called ‘Orange Revolution’ (a CIA instigated ‘color revolution‘ or part of the ‘democracy’ investment Victoria Nuland had reported the USA spent $5 billion on) putting him squarely in political opposition to the Russian ethnic majority of the Donbass region of Ukraine. So much for impartiality.
Secondly, Krushelnycky is first generation British of Ukrainian “refugee” descent, opening the question of whether Krushelnycky is of Stephen Bandera aligned stock. Most of the Ukrainian nationals who were allowed into the USA, Canada and Britain after WW II were radical right wing who’d supported Hitler in Ukraine, including an ethnic Ukrainian division of Waffen SS rescued in the thousands. Did The Intercept do a background check on Krushelnycky? I doubt it.
Thirdly, Krushelnycky is reporting from Mariupol, the Kiev held area where Right Sector (Ukrainian Nazis) has its own independent ‘Azov’ battalion. If he were inclined to report factually (particularly in relation to Azov battalion provocations), he’d have immediate problems with these people. Not to mention Kiev has pushed so many outrageous lies, Kiev propaganda compares well to Roger Rabbit; insofar as reality.
Fourthly, and here it gets very sticky for The Intercept, Pierre Omidyar, The Intercept’s bankroller, has funded elements in Ukraine leading to the overthrow of the Yanukovich regime, a de facto support contributing to the present civil war. Clearly Omidyar has been supporting the side of those now constituting the regime in Kiev, which also so happens align with the politics of Intercept reporter Krushelnycky. Glenn Greenwald has claimed Omidyar’s support for the parties ruling in Kiev will make no difference in the reporting coming out of The Intercept; but actions here speak louder than words … I had actually been wondering why reporting on Ukraine had been conspicuously absent at The Intercept and now we have a shallow, rank propaganda piece worthy of those very whores of journalism Greenwald & friends have so eloquently bashed elsewhere.
The Intercept hosting Askold Krushelnycky is like The Nation hosting Bob Drefuss or the Washington Post providing a platform to David Ignatius; a professional liar does not add a ‘fair and balanced’ perspective (recalls FOX NEWS) but merely tosses a monkey wrench into the gears of truth-
Have you seen the little piggies Crawling in the dirt? And for all the little piggies Life is getting worse Always having dirt to play around in
Have you seen the bigger piggies In their starched white shirts? You will find the bigger piggies Stirring up the dirt Always have clean shirts to play around in
In their styes with all their backing They don’t care what goes on around In their eyes there’s something lacking What they need’s a damn good whacking
Everywhere there’s lots of piggies Living piggy lives You can see them out for dinner With their piggy wives Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon

Merkel, Piggies & the 2nd Minsk Peace Accord
Noting the Germans claim they have no obligation whatsoever to make right having bled Greece dry during WW II … and noting the Germans are insisting on bleeding Greece dry in the present with inflexible demands of ‘privitization’ and ‘austerity’, it’s not difficult to see Angela Merkel, Wolfgang Schäuble, Thomas de Maizière & friends haven’t shed Germany’s Nazi spots; particularly when considering Ukraine.
Firstly, Germany has been hand in glove with the USA in ‘civil society’ projects (read subverting to western interests) in Ukraine, exhibit one:
Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Ukraine (screenshot)
In fact it was the Merkel Christian Democratic Union (CDU) aligned Konrad Adenauer Foundation had liaised with Ukraine’s Nazi Svoboda party and in fact groomed Svoboda party members at Adenauer foundation ‘democracy’ projects:
“the Ukrainian right wing has also received instruction [in Germany] financed by German taxpayers. Party members appeared at events hosted by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, the German political foundation affiliated with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives. Examples include the conference entitled “Lessons from the 2012 Parliamentary Elections,” the seminar series called “The Higher School of Politics” and a discussion on the 2012 elections”
This, despite the German government’s official position of condemning the German Nazi party, the NPD, a party the Ukrainian Svoboda party has a known relationship with. So, what’s wrong with this picture? Adopting a position ‘actions speak louder than words’, we can look at a short history of Merkel’s ‘peace efforts’ relating to Ukraine.
The thumbnail sketch is, each time Germany has backed a proposal for peace in Ukraine, Merkel has rolled over when the USA spurred Kiev to sabotage it. Very early on, John Kerry had ‘lip serviced’ (sort of like a blow-job) an European peace proposal and Kiev had stopped shooting but that was because they were too stupid to understand the game yet and they quickly reversed themselves when an American visited and explained what geopolitical theater is all about. A case of ‘this is to make Russia look bad when it fails, so whatever you do, don’t stop provocations that draw separatist ire.’ Whether it was Joe Biden or John Brennan or some other American political prostitute, most recently John Kerry in Kiev as Merkel visited Putin in Moscow together with Hollande, the American message delivered to the Nazis in Kiev has been consistently proven to be one of ‘keep the provocations up and we’ll have your back.’
Here is how it plays with Merkel. She gets on board with with every European peace endeavor but then takes advantage of its intended failure. After endorsing a Russian-French transition plan for Ukraine that was immediately foiled with the American backed putsch, Angela Merkel promptly fell into line with the Americans and the result was ultimately responsible for Crimea reunifying with Russia. Did Merkel demonize the Americans for this backstabbing? No. She demonized Putin. Following this, when Poroshenko did not deliver on the autonomy for the east of Ukraine promised at Minsk I, rather instead declaring the autonomy provision invalid, insuring the rebellion would continue, did Merkel pressure Poroshenko? No. She upped the pressure on Putin instead, while toeing the American propaganda line. As well, Merkel has been leader of the European Union sanctions intended to punish Russia with damage to its economy.
Now, Merkel had exited a meeting at the White House, prior to traveling to Moscow and then to Minsk II, with a telling message; ‘friends can have differences of opinion’ or that is to say Germany is not going to put up a fuss over the Americans delivering lethal weapons to Ukraine and John Kerry immediately heads out to Kiev as Merkel heads to Moscow.
Here’s what’s up; Each ceasefire has saved Kiev’s butt from a determined rebel force that is by far better motivated and seen superior tactical success. Each ceasefire has seen the beaten Ukrainian army rearm, resupply and regroup for a new offensive. Each ceasefire has seen consistent shelling of civilian areas held by the rebels, a deliberate provocation, drawing reactions from rebel forces determined to knock out or push back Kiev’s offenders. Each ceasefire has seen a consequent propaganda blitz by the western democracies accusing Russia and the rebels of sabotaging any progress towards peace. All of this treachery by Kiev has clearly been encouraged behind the scene by the USA, in an ongoing, undeclared, proxy war imposed on Russia. Angela Merkel not only goes along with this, she is complicit. Germany has, all along, baited Putin along with the Americans. And this man knows the story very well:
^ BND’s Gerhard Schindler (sleeps with the Americans)
Gerhard Schindler, Germany’s top spymaster, who answers directly to Angela Merkel, presented what has to be called a falsified report, on the downing of MH 17 in secret session with the German parliament, presenting evidence that has never been made public (certainly because it would not stand up to expert scrutiny.) Here is the better MH 17 assessment. Previous to this, Schindler presented what was almost certainly a false report on the Assad regime’s use of sarin gas in Damascus, claiming the rebels did not possess the technical ability to deliver the chemical weapon but that had already been disputed by UN investigator Carla Del Ponte in an earlier case. The BND led by Schindler has a long litany of criminals and crimes for legacy, not least complicity in, and covering up, Operation Gladio. The BND was created by the CIA, staffed with ex-Gestapo and other former Nazis, put under the charge of Hitler’s expert Soviet spymaster, war criminal Reinhard Gehlen, and then handed over to Konrad Adenauer as West Germany’s foreign intelligence service. This is a nasty, Nazi legacy infected, organization. And so is the Adenauer Foundation and it’s parent Christian Democratic Union. These are Merkel’s clandestine bayonets operating in Ukraine.
Here’s my prediction for Minsk II .. more of the same, Poroshenko’s Nazis will have taken John Kerry’s off the record advice to heart, the new ceasefire and peace agreement will be sabotaged with full German complicity, even as Merkel makes a show of geopolitical ‘restraint’ for domestic political consumption, again buying time to rearm and train Kiev’s forces. Meanwhile there will be ongoing provocations by Kiev to undermine the process in its entirety. Germany will fall into line with the USA, pointing the finger at the Russians as the responsible party and sooner or later, the entire business will again be a hot and more intensified conflict. This has been the working model, in consecutive iterations, why would anyone expect to see anything change?
We’re a family of military brats. My dad was born in New Jersey on account of his father was (briefly) stationed at Camp Dix. I was born in California on account of my dad was (briefly) stationed at Long Beach Naval Ship Yard. But our paternal roots had a long time grounding in the ‘Old West’ badmen, cattle rustlers and train robbers, as well, these men would often marry their favorite prostitutes and madams. When we weren’t outlaws, we were soldiers. As time passed, we gradually focused more on becoming soldiers, as the Old West and its outlaw opportunities came to an end. My dad once stated to me he was the first male in our line to live to be fifty and not die of gunshot wounds, in family memory.
I was born geographically closer to these dubious roots on account of my great grandmother having run a bordello in Los Angeles area during the oil boom era of 1890 to 1910.
The Old West, and associated life in the rural country side, was in our blood, and when my dad retired from military, he began looking for a suitable location in the Rocky Mountains, to relocate to. Thus it happened, when I was 12 years of age, in 1963, I found myself in the cab of a 1954 Ford 2-1/2 ton truck, with stock racks, stacked & packed, tarped & tied with our household belongings underneath, on a journey into the unknown.
In the cab of that truck, which never exceed 45 miles per hour over a distance of about 1,400 miles driving from near the very south of Southern California, to near the very north of Northwest Montana, were my dad (driving), my older brother (16 years old) and Brownie, a Weimaraner hound. And there is no way Brownie considered himself as anything lesser than a peer, to my brother and myself.
Now, let me explain this; the cab of a 1954 2-1/2 ton truck is not exactly comfortable to begin with. And its’ single bench seat is a size to seat three, not four. And Brownie, a large, STRONG male in his prime, weighing about eighty pounds, was not about to sit on the floor.
Headed up what is these days Inter-State 15, but in those days was practically a two lane cow path, by the time we’d reached Las Vegas, the hierarchy had been sorted between Brownie, my brother and myself and Brownie had won. He owned the coveted window. Now when I say ‘coveted’ window, it’s not about view, it’s entirely about fresh air. My brother, a step up in the hierarchy from myself, had the 2nd preferred seat, that is next to my dad. I was wedged between my brother and Brownie, at the absolute bottom of the hierarchy.
When Brownie shifted his footing without concern for where he might step, and his toes with claws stepped on a crotch, that crotch was mine. When Brownie pulled his head back into the cab from out the window, and shook it, the majority of his dog slobber was into my face. So much of his hair had rubbed off, while wedged up against the dog, I was involuntarily eating it, not only covered in it. By the time we’d reached Salt Lake City, Brownie had become seriously irritated with the never ending ride, when I’d grab his foot to move it off my crotch (I lost count of how many times), he’d snarl and snap. By the time we’d approached the north end of the Flathead Valley in Montana and my dad had pointed to a gap in the mountains and stated “Our homestead is located not far inside that gap” … it had to have been the best news of my life:
Needless to say, I subsequently had a certain ambivalence of feeling towards Brownie.
Our ‘homestead’ was 135 acres, about forty acres of it was meadow for our horses, surrounded by (mostly) Lodge Pole Pine forest. At the one end was a spring fed pond with a small creek flowing out .. and close by, our ‘house’ was a turn of the century (1900, give or take a few years, no one seemed to know its exact construction date) large log cabin to which three rooms had been added, with various constructions over the years.
One thing the dog and I held in common was, Brownie and I, both, saw our new life as located in a sort of paradise.
It was Summer and there was much work to be done. The old barbed wire fence separating the pasture from the surrounding forest was in a severe state of decay and I was tasked with rebuilding the worst section. Brownie liked hanging out with me because this took him away from the house, and into more interesting territory. Brownie was a forgiving sort, at least more so than myself. Lifting and dropping a fifty pound, pointed steel bar, endlessly, was the worst part of my job. It was an 1880s vintage railroad tool, originally tasked with track maintenance. I lifted the bar and let it drop into the stony soil, with each drop, it would go deeper into the ground. Then it had to be worked, back and forth, to widen the hole. I named that steel bar ‘Satan’s cock.’ Obviously I hated it. After a certain depth had been achieved, a pointed wooden fence post was placed in the top of the hole but then had to be driven into the ground with a hand held ‘post driver’, a steel cylinder, closed at one end, with handles. I placed the cylinder over the top of the post, now inserted into the cylinder and again, lifting and dropping, but now the driver over the post, until the post was firmly in the ground. What I named the post driver is not fit to print in any decent story, suffice it to say it was a good ‘fit’ with what I’d named the heavy steel bar. Meanwhile, Brownie mostly interested himself in ground squirrels and their holes.
At the homestead, Brownie fancied himself a combatant in that particular way that dogs are inclined to do, and never lost a fight, until that day came when he had to learn about screen doors. My dad, although a hard working man, had a laid back personality, that is until someone either crossed him or simply did not listen. Brownie had done both.
One of the additions to the old homestead cabin was a large sort of ‘lean to’ construction that served as both; an enclosed porch and utility room. It was also the most frequently used entry to the house. Coming indoors, one would enter an exterior door on this porch and then enter a second door into the kitchen. In summer season, the solid porch door was kept open and a lighter wood frame door that was mostly metal screen, was what allowed fresh air in, and kept the flies and mosquitoes out. Brownie had no respect for this screen door, he simply would push his way through it, tearing the screen out of the wooden frame, repeatedly. And he simply refused to be convinced he hadn’t ought to be doing this. This is how I know I’d not forgiven Brownie for his attitude on our journey to Montana, I was viscerally pleased with the outcome of this circumstance.
This was before the days when PETA would crucify a man, for coming up with an unorthodox means to modify a dog’s behavior.
It was about the time the 3rd screen door was reaching that point of no further possible repairs and would have to be replaced AGAIN. My dad took a drill and some copper wire and stitched the screen to the wooden frame in such a way as to insure Brownie would have a bit more work than usual, to break through the screen. It was ugly but effective. Effective because, then he’d run a wire, securely attached to the metal screen, out to the car parked in the yard. This wire, he then proceeded to connect to the car’s positive or ‘hot’ alternator terminal, started the car and left it idling .. after which he went into the house, careful not to touch the metal screen, and making it a point to leave Brownie outdoors. Brownie promptly attempted to follow my dad into the house and what happened next was priceless revenge, from my point of view.
Brownie came up to push his way through the screen and let out a yelp that was mixed surprise and pain. Not really certain what had happened, Brownie collected himself and attempted to push his way through the screen again. Again he yelped in shock and surprise. And that is when the proverbial ‘all hell had broke loose’ came to pass.
Brownie, having come to the conclusion the screen had BIT him, he attacked the screen with a rage and vengeance! But the screen door beat him off, again and again. The dog went from incendiary attack to murderous rage at the screen, vicious snarls repeatedly turning to pained yelps, all to no avail, the screen refused to be defeated. The dog at one point laid down and cried in his frustration, only to get up and attack again, only to be turned back by an enemy that knew how to inflict, but not feel, pain. And finally, after an epic battle that had lasted at least 20 minutes, Brownie was beaten. He subsequently decided he would bark, to let us know to let him in.
Ever after, when we’d open the screen door for Brownie, to come inside, he would snarl at door, when he passed it, every time.
“Having read your post, here’s what I think happened.
“The person from CODOH who posts here at Unz read your blog post on Holocaust denial and decided to comment on it. I assume that the comment policy requires the use of an e-mail address. The person who posted, not wanting to post his real e-mail address, just made one up that ended in @zionism.org — or he used a legitimate e-mail address for Paul Eisen because he didn’t want to use his own.
Paul moderates his own forum, so it’s unlikely that he’d want to drag you over to CODOH”
In any case, the software settings I use supposedly required a valid mail address to post and a mail ‘surnamed’ @zionism.org attempting to engage this author in a holocaust denial forum stinks to high heaven – with no apologies to Paul Eisen
You are now being challenged at the very popular CODOH Revisionist Forum to back up your claims, see here:

The first thing I had noticed was the inferred anti-Semitic slur ($) in the [would be] commenters name. So, I didn’t bite. Point one per ‘people too stupid to understand they’re stupid’ … It probably never occurred to the anonymous moron; his ‘nom de guerre’ gave away his perfectly reasonable seeming invitation came from someone that’s probably an anti-Semite, likely with a fixed, holocaust denial agenda. I make it a habit not to associate with, or expend energy debating, social idiots. Now, it is certainly the case it was this language from my blog had drawn his attention and had been proposed for a so-called debate:
“First, those persons denying the facts of the Jewish holocaust, quibbling over whether it was two million or six million dead, and whether the gas chambers were efficient enough to pull off the higher number, are misleading people over, and downplaying, the fact there was a systematic program engineered by the Nazis dedicated to the extermination of Europe’s Jews as a matter of policy. For myself, it’s unimportant whether it was 2 million or 6 million dead, the point is, whether by slave labor, starvation, bullet, mobile gas chamber or other means, the Nazis set out to exterminate Europe’s Jews and they murdered too many people to accurately determine, which can only mean they murdered LOTS (put your number exceeding 999,999 here) of people of Jewish origin while trying hard to get the job done. Many, many Jewish people died for the simple fact they were Jews. And that was a world class crime which fighting over numbers cannot diminish” Endquote [my article]
People too stupid to understand they’re stupid, point two: Clearly my mind is made up on the matter … and it’s not going to change. There is no debate insofar as I’m concerned and clearly I’ve stated as much with jettisoning the ‘numbers’ argument. If (I presume ‘he’ but of course ‘he’ could be a ‘woman’) was inviting me over to argue over whether the Nazis actually set out to systematically extinguish Jews, that would be ‘people too stupid to understand they’re stupid, point three; the evidence is overwhelming and issues from absolutely too many sources, survivors, Nazi records, SS veterans statements, photographic evidence, allied soldier witnesses from both Soviet and Western armies and not least, Germans I personally know, with incisive intellects stemming from being possessed of honest character, who have family who were Nazis. There is no ‘Jewish conspiracy’ is going to pull all of that together as a hoax.
Now, if all of that seems a lot of presumption on my part, here is ‘his’ followup comment (I disallowed) at the Bernays article at my site, when I didn’t bite:
Indeed,it was and is propagandists like Zionist Bernays which keeps the laughable ‘holocau$t’ storyline in the headlines.
The impossible ‘holocaust’ narrative allows the racist Israeli parasites to get away with slaughtering Palestinians and stealing billions from the US taxpayers every year, and then demand that US soldiers die for their greedy self interests.
The laughable ‘holocau$t’ propaganda is an easily debunked, impossible as alleged Jewish supremacist scam.
The ‘holocaust’ storyline is one of the most easily debunked narratives ever contrived. That is why those who question it are arrested and persecuted. That is why violent, racist, & privileged Jewish supremacists parasites demand censorship.
What sort of Truth is it that crushes the freedom to seek the truth? Truth needs no protection from scrutiny.
People too stupid to understand they’re stupid, point four; Bernays work was employed by the Nazis…
“[Bernays remembers that] Karl von Weigand, foreign correspondent of the Hearst newspapers, an old hand at interpreting Europe and just returned from Germany, was telling us about Goebbels and his propaganda plans to consolidate Nazi power. Goebbels had shown Weigand his propaganda library, the best Weigand had ever seen. Goebbels, said Weigand, was using my [Bernays’] book Crystallizing Public Opinion as a basis for his destructive campaign against the Jews of Germany. This shocked me. … Obviously the attack on the Jews of Germany was no emotional outburst of the Nazis, but a deliberate, planned campaign” Endquote [linked article]
…not only what became the western democracies western corporate media, which, by the way, includes high end power players who’re Christians like Rupert Murdoch, which belies it’s total control by Jews.
Then, this comment:
What are you afraid of Ron, free speech?
Only liars are afraid of free speech, only liars are afraid to debate their positions.
Je Suis Revisionniste! Endquote [moron commenter]
Ignoring the ad hominem ‘liars’, unlike Europe, we’ll use the example of hate speech is protected in the USA, bringing us to people too stupid to understand they are stupid point five; ‘free speech’ in the USA means that if you happen to be a unintelligent, bigoted moron, you can wrap or flap your lips around any phallus or subject without risking jail … but that does not mean intelligent people are required to engage in the same behaviors. And that is precisely why a professor who had been sucked into the CODOH (Committee for the Open Debate on the Holocaust) forum and had been consequently evangelized with irrational demands he embrace holocaust denial, as opposed to honest debate on the subject, pulled out.
People too stupid to understand they are stupid point six; when you obsess on something like a ‘world Jewish conspiracy’, you’ll miss a whole lot of what is going on, here is a case in point:
The ‘high five’ MOSSAD agents on 9/11 might indicate a Jewish role in the attacks … and ‘world Jewish conspiracy’ freaks would take that as gospel truth, or indisputable evidence but it might merely indicate MOSSAD had been sucked into a play that distracted from the more important actors. The same could be said of the allegations by Zacarias Moussaoui implicating the Saudis, but what is missed and not reported in mainstream is the fact the most damning evidence points squarely to the evangelical ‘Christian Dominion‘ personality Dick Cheney; according the highest ranking former intelligence officer yet to speak out, Major General Stubblebine of the United States Army:
People too stupid to understand they are stupid, while obsessing with a Jewish conspiracy, could not find their own ass with both hands in matters of intelligence. Does that make Netanyahu a good guy? No. He’s pretty incredibly stupid too. And going to that point, it only means Jews are no different to the rest of us; there are good and evil among them, no different to Christians have produced stupendously ignorant people in places of high power, George W Bush is example prima facie. And both Jewish and Christian cultures have produced personalities who’ve done remarkable, brave, intelligent and good things.
Ok, so next thing that happens is, Paul Eisen forgets which account he is signing in with and comments with a different logo and email, now as ‘Holocau$t’ Lies – Who Profits / Paul Eisen’ (I bothered to confirm the details) he sends this comment:
And you really should read ‘holocaust’ Revisionist Paul Eisen, a Jew in the UK on the matter of the laughable ‘holocaust’:
-http://pauleisen.blogspot.com/-
He laughs at the impossible ‘gas chambers’ & millions of Jews’. see:
People too stupid to understand they’re stupid point seven; clearly, dishonestly, he is promoting his work as a third party while not noticing he’s identified himself. In his previous comments (sans identity) he used the email…
truth@codoh.com
…revealing he is one of the parties behind the website where the previously mentioned academic had been evangelized to embrace holocaust denial. In this most recent comment he uses the email…
lies@zionism.org
…together with his identity. Zionism.org comes up with nothing; however noting there is a bona fide Zionist site: zionism.org.uk which would exercise rights over his email domain name and this is a valid (working) email address as of the time he’d made this comment, that is required in my comments platform settings. And Paul Eisen is located in the UK.
People too stupid to understand they are stupid point eight; entrapping myself with engaging in a known holocaust denial forum (that could be a MOSSAD ‘phishing’ site) would do MOSSAD, the CIA or any number of enemies I’ve made, a tremendous propaganda favor, at the least, with something like Israeli Megaphone Desktop Tool broadcasting ‘Ron participates at, and contributes to, CODOH’ … I think we all can know now why Paul Eisen identifies as a Jew who openly denies the holocaust.
And lest this essay detract from the article that inspired it, via an out and out moron using the comments submission platform, here is the rest of my article on holocaust denial, reprised:
We are surrounded by holocaust. And led by holocaust deniers. Every one of those western democratic leaders attending the Auschwitz commemoration, is a holocaust denier. How is that? One word: “Congo”
^ “around five million deaths”
How is it all of those ‘never again’ political personalities can attend the Auschwitz ceremony and in the same moment turn their backs on, or deny the fact, their economic institutions and national economies are mass murdering people across the world, through contemporary stock market value based on multi-national corporate neo-colonialism, of which Congo is the present-day poster child?
“At this very moment,… the most frightful horrors are taking place in every corner of the world. People are being crushed, slashed, disembowelled, mangled; their dead bodies rot and their eyes decay with the rest. Screams of pain and fear go pulsing through the air at the rate of eleven hundred feet per second. After travelling for three seconds they are perfectly inaudible. These are distressing facts; but do we enjoy life any the less because of them? Most certainly we do not” -Aldous Huxley
Where are the western leaders attending ceremonies at memorial centers, replete with graphic photos, detailing the immense scale of the Congo holocaust? Where?
Does the question of race have something to do with this missing aspect of ‘never again’ mass murders on immense scale? Is it because the murdered Ashkenazi were White, and this event happened in ‘civilized’ Europe, they have ‘never again’ commemoration; but because the people of the Congo are Black, there is no strident or pressing need to acknowledge what is taking place elsewhere, even as I write this?
And let’s not forget Rwanda & the church at Rome, as well as deaths due to invasion related infrastructure destruction in Iraq (fairly estimated to be at least one million), and the end toll we cannot yet project in Syria due to efforts to overthrow Assad (the western democracies have murdered more Syrians, by far, than Assad left to his devices, ever would have), to name just a few of the more recent or ongoing events which are glossed over and denied the graphic terms with which they deserve to be treated.
At the end of the day, Netanyahu, Merkel, Hollande, Cameron, and their several peers, all, are holocaust deniers (as well, profound hypocrites.)
This United States Air Force general wants to arm Ukraine and escalate NATO’s role antagonizing Russia, this following is a decent match for the preceding photo:
Or perhaps this…
…is a more appropriate match:
Or we could try a third match of this…
…to this:
Or try this one…
To this:
Except the preceding is a better match for this moron who’s been behind picking a fight with Russia all along:
And then the empathy match…
…for the ‘hired help’ coming around to the idea:
And Marie Harf, the propaganda parrot?
No problem, except for aftermath:
Yeah. Help. That’s what Americans need in a BIG way:
Within two days of this ‘satire’ having been posted, General Breedlove goes on record, revealing he is two-faced, warning arming Ukraine risks drawing a reaction from Russia, but there’s more to this story:
NATO (a ‘Christian Dominion’ infected organization) is a platform empowering General Phillip Breedlove as one of the prime ‘movers and shakers’ bringing the western democracies into this latest proposed American ‘humanitarian intervention’ project with ample German support, (Angela Merkel getting cold feet on arms provision notwithstanding) which, by the way, is cover for an arms provision program that has actually been underway for quite some months already.
I don’t doubt Russians are helping the so-called ‘rebels’ in Ukraine to a certain degree, although certainly not to the extremes claimed by Breedlove & associates, and if Russia is complaining the Ukrainian armed forces are being armed to the teeth with the latest western anti-armor weaponry, and the facts show that’s actually true, that makes us about equal when it comes to denial of covert aid, you think? What’s presently proposed (providing arms) is actually something that’s been ongoing; NATO is attempting to come up with a cover story, providing arms, to match the facts on the ground; rebel commanders already face Javelin anti-tank missiles (and much more) provided to Kiev.
But that’s standard operating procedure in Western geo-politics, ‘truth’ has little to do with what actually goes on.
In fact the so-called ‘western democracies’ had initiated the hostilities in Ukraine with the Americans alone investing 5 billion in ‘color revolution’, ‘civil society’ and ‘regime change’ projects in Ukraine through the end of 2013, with plenty more invested since, efforts that have gone so far as to widely employ neo-nazis in the overthrow of the previous regime and maintain the present geopolitical state of hostility
With the CIA or MOSSAD (your choice) having decided to leak the fact clandestine operations of the two agencies have established a certain degree of fusion, released as a psychological ploy (neither agency is particularly bright these days), it brought into perspective a phenomena I had puzzled over for some time; how it was I’d drawn the attempted lethal attention of both institutions in a matter of two weeks (in the Fall of 2007.) A case of leaked accountability to Newsweek magazine establishes the CIA & MOSSAD were working joint assassinations by February, 2008. In actuality, my case establishes they were already jointly pursuing targets four months previous to this, in October, 2007.
Also, I’d wondered how MOSSAD had taken an interest in my elimination, a simple ‘quid pro quo’ arrangement, although plausible, was never a completely satisfactory answer. Now I believe I know that answer as well; the CIA has a storied history of narcotics trafficking and MOSSAD is implicated as a possible partner back to the era of Iran-Contra:
“By Way of Deception describes the shocking scope and depth of the Mossad’s influence, disclosing how Jewish communities in the U.S., Europe, and South America are armed and trained by the organization in secret ‘self-defense’ units, and how Mossad agents facilitate the drug trade in order to pay the enormous costs of its far-flung, clandestine operation”
As an investigator with a longtime interest in the several western democracies intelligence agencies deep involvement in international narcotics trafficking, motive appears to falls into place. As well, noting the MOSSAD’s international ‘self-defense’ cells funded by this practice closely resemble GLADIO (and likely are modeled after the same), I now must doubt the considerable logistical support required for attempts to take myself out in Europe were limited to fascist Christian elements; in fact Bibi Netanyahu’s MOSSAD fingerprints would appear to be coming into focus, in endeavor joined at the hip with George W Bush & Co, inherited and carried on under Obama:
Of course none of this should ignore what is too often overlooked; the fact Netanyahu and his ilk would never survive to pursue their crime sprees if it were not for some ninety million American conservative Christians, most of whom adopt an ‘Israel can do no wrong’ position because of embracing Biblical literalism, one could call these people ‘millennials.’ The fact this is slightly less that 1/3 of the American demographic doesn’t automatically confer a minority status insofar as the amount of influence they project … for the fact they are largely in solidarity having to with what amounts to their projecting a fait accompli or the idea most of humanity is doomed according to prophecy and that centers on the establishing (re-establishing in their view) a ‘Greater Israel.’ They’re simply better organized than their opposition and probably larger, when taking into account those many Americans who’re alienated from political process or disengaged for whatever other reasons.
This certainly does not excuse Netanyahu but there is plenty of blame (or mental illness, your choice) to go around. It’s not only the Israelis; a rational argument might be made it is not primarily the Israelis are the social drivers (enablers) for the crimes of the state of Israel.

^ Dedicated to all narco-killers operating in guise of patriotism
First, those persons denying the facts of the Jewish holocaust, quibbling over whether it was two million or six million dead, and whether the gas chambers were efficient enough to pull off the higher number, are misleading people over, and downplaying, the fact there was a systematic program engineered by the Nazis dedicated to the extermination of Europe’s Jews as a matter of policy. For myself, it’s unimportant whether it was 2 million or 6 million dead, the point is, whether by slave labor, starvation, bullet, mobile gas chamber or other means, the Nazis set out to exterminate Europe’s Jews and they murdered too many people to accurately determine, which can only mean they murdered LOTS (put your number exceeding 999,999 here, certainly many more) of people of Jewish origin while trying hard to get the job done. Many Jewish people died for the simple fact they were Jews (with a reminder this was also the case with Gypsies.) And that was a world class crime which fighting over numbers cannot diminish.
Now, with the preceding said:

An important blurb on how it is the USAID umbrella serves the oil industry:
International Business Times: ‘Conspiracy theorists right’ that foreign intervention in civil wars driven by ‘thirst for oil’
“According to the study by the universities of Warwick, Portsmouth and Essex, a “thirst for oil” is the main motivation for foreign intervention over any historical, geographical or ethnic ties.
“The study suggests oil was the main reason for military intervention in the Libyan civil war – which the UK was involved in – as well as one of the main motivations for the current campaign against the Islamic State (Isis).
“The research examined every country which has had a civil war between 1945 and 1999. The study found out of the 69 civil wars which occurred after World War II, around 33% saw third party intervention either by another country or outside organisation. “Outsiders are much more motivated to join a fight if they have a vested financial interest” – Dr Petros Sekeris, University of Portsmouth
“Dr Petros Sekeris, from the University of Portsmouth, said: “We found clear evidence that countries with potential for oil production are more likely to be targeted by foreign intervention if civil wars erupt”
And at the Center for Strategic Affairs & International Study (CSIS) ‘The Launch of the Project on U.S. Leadership in Development‘
“Dr. Condoleezza Rice and General James L. Jones spoke about the impact of economic development on national security at the launch of the Project on U.S. Leadership in Development, a CSIS-Chevron partnership. Dr. John Hamre, CSIS president and CEO, moderated the discussion. CSIS trustee and former USAID administrator Henrietta Fore and Chevron vice president Stephen W. Green introduced the project…
“Dr. Rice, former secretary of state under President George W. Bush, pointed to the Arab Spring as a sign that democracy is not only a Western phenomenon. When asked how best to justify development spending to Congress, Dr. Rice said that although we have a moral obligation to global development, there is also a practical argument that it improves U.S. security. “How many times do we have to learn that ungoverned territor[ies]…are a problem for us?” she asked.
“Development can help avoid the next Afghanistan or the next Somalia, she said, by building responsible sovereigns who can provide for their people. In doing so, the public and private sectors have complimentary, overlapping roles, Dr. Rice argued, with governments taking responsibility for creating the environment for trade, job creation, and foreign investment” [never mind Rice’s egregious lies when presenting a program that is a continuation of policies creating havoc around the world]
A former USAID administrator brought into a Chevron ‘leadership’ project (as well noting Condolezza Rice and James Jones are both are past Chevron board director personalities, not only one time Bush & Obama ‘National Security Advisors’) points directly at geo-political engineering of events on behalf of oil companies profits in relation to putting the cost off on the American taxpayer, per rogue CIA officer Phillip Agee’s revelations:
“One may wonder why the CIA would be needed in these programs. There were several reasons. One reason from the beginning was the CIA’s long experience and huge stable of agents and contacts in the civil societies of countries around the world. By joining with the CIA, NED and [US]AID would come on board an on-going complex of operations whose funding they could take over while leaving the secret day-to-day direction on the ground to CIA officers. In addition someone had to monitor and report the effectiveness of the local recipients’ activities. NED would not have people in the field to do this, nor would their core foundations in normal conditions. And since NED money was ostensibly private, only the CIA had the people and techniques to carry out discreet control in order to avoid compromising the civil society recipients, especially if they were in opposition to their governments. Finally, the CIA had ample funds of its own to pass quietly when conditions required”
And here you have the Obama administration’s Assistant Secretary of State brags about spending 5 Billion taxpayer dollars through these ‘democracy fronts’ developing “civil society” when reporting to Chevron:
“…Ukraine’s largest private gas producer .. He’s [Biden] taking charge of the company’s legal unit”
Not to mention involvement by…
“Devon Archer, who works with Hunter Biden at Rosemont Seneca partners, which is half owned by Rosemont Capital, a private equity firm founded by Archer and Christopher Heinz”
…Christopher Heinz? Oh, that’s John Kerry’s step-kid.
And ‘Chevron Ukraine‘ .. sort of puts it all into perspective, you think?
“Chevron is pleased with the award of a tender which provides the right to conclude a Production Sharing Agreement for the Oleska area with the State of Ukraine. The Oleska area covers approximately 1.6 million acres. We now look forward to working together with the Ukrainian Government, local authorities, and our partner in relation to this opportunity”
If Chevron is forced out of Ukraine, Putin will be blamed, but for what? Acting on his known determination NATO will not march its borders to the edge of the Russian heartland? Too bad that sucks for Chevron, Rice, Jones, Biden and Kerry, but I suspect they’d just stepped into a mire of a 3rd world country whose resources they will not easily rip off…
…not that the Pentagon could grasp that:
And it is the American taxpayer picks up the $5 billion investment in Ukrainian ‘democracy’ and much, much more, before this episode of the ‘New Great Game‘ is played out:
“President Obama denied … that it’s a piece on “some Cold War chessboard.” But the best hope for Ukraine is that it will get special treatment precisely because it is a valued pawn in a new version of the Great Game, the 19th century struggle for influence between Russia and Britain”
Consider that bit of old news and the fact Obama is an invertebrate liar…
