LOOKING THROUGH THE GLASS DARKLY
How evil are the Democrats and establishment Republicans?
The famed Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman was a man of first principles and a deconstructionist. He took the component parts of a problem and rearranged them to see if a greater truth emerged.
And as much as I abhor accusing our country of a heinous crime against humanity, I couldn’t help but consider a fact pattern that leads to an extremely dark conclusion, not a conspiracy, that hundreds of thousands of innocents have been killed or injured in a U.S. CIA/Department of State operation to simultaneously degrade Russia’s economy and military capabilities—while simultaneously enriching multinational energy companies and current and retired political and military actors who sit on their boards or own their stocks?
That the attempt to destroy or discredit former President Donald Trump is simply a precautionary measure to contain an awful truth? And that the current Iranian-backed actions in Gaza are a distraction from the bigger picture that would see numerous American politicians in the dock at The Hague for war crimes against humanity in Ukraine.
It appears that Ukraine is at the center of all the corrupt politics that is destroying America from within.
From the misuse of billions of taxpayer dollars to the attempt to cover up nefarious criminal activities of high-ranking government actors and non-governmental organizations, the same players seem to be involved, including high-ranking officials of our once premier intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
There is no reason we should not believe former ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, when she declared, “Ukraine is a battleground for great power competition, with a hot war for the control of territory and a hybrid war to control Ukraine’s leadership.” And, might I add, oil pipelines into Europe?
Likewise, Ukraine is undoubtedly a vast source of covert power and untold riches for those with connections to politicians. Any attempt to disrupt the tentacles of power or flow of riches will be met with serious, if not lethal, resistance.
On one level, Ukraine is a U.S. proxy being used to degrade the Russian economy and military might. On another level, Ukraine is a battlefield over the gateway of economic oil and gas flowing from Russia into the European marketplace, competing with higher-cost American exports, seeking to use the developed Ukraine oil and gas distribution infrastructure to distribute American petroleum products.
So far, what we have observed can be described as “business as usual.” There is nothing new about the CIA and State Department’s involvement in the petroleum industry, from the 1953 toppling of the government of Iran, which threatened to nationalize the petroleum industry, to the present day.
In 1953, the CIA, in collaboration with British intelligence, orchestrated a coup d'état in Iran, code-named Operation Ajax, to overthrow the democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh. Mossadegh had nationalized Iran's oil industry, which had previously been under British control through the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC), later known as British Petroleum (BP). The nationalization threatened British and American interests in the region, leading to covert actions to remove Mossadegh from power and reinstate the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, as the ruler of Iran. This event had significant long-term consequences for Iran and the region, contributing to the eventual Iranian Revolution in 1979.
Along with the coverup of government machinations, we find the malign hand of billionaire George Soros, who tried to capture Ukraine President Victor Yanukovych’s support of a proposed 2013 IMF trade deal that would require the privatization of Naftogaz, the national oil and gas company of Ukraine, to satisfy further IMF loan commitments.
When Yanukovych turned toward Russia, the coup was on, with Victoria Nuland, then Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs at the United States Department of State, leading the charge. The Maidan Color Revolution resulted in significant political changes in Ukraine, including the election of a new president, Petro Poroshenko, in May 2014.
In October 2014, Soros referred to Naftogaz as “a black hole in the budget and a major source of corruption,” calling for radical reforms that could reduce Ukraine’s dependence on Russian gas."
I will spare you the lengthy recital of players, including CIA-protected Hunter Biden’s involvement in Burisma and Joe Biden’s recorded self-confession of a quid-pro-quo extortion in Ukraine.
Joe Biden leveraged $1 billion in aid to persuade Ukraine to oust its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, in March 2016. However, it’s essential to consider that Shokin was investigating Burisma Holdings, the largest private gas player in Ukraine, where Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, served on the board with zero experience in petroleum, Ukraine, or Ukraninan legal matters. He was the gateway to Joe Biden's political influence.
Bottom line...
Needless to say, these people fear a Trump Presidency and will try anything, and I mean anything, to stop him.
We are so screwed.
