America’s
biggest export since December 12, 2000 has been sham elections. The neocons and Zionists that overthrew the
United States government on December 12, 2000 have used the CIA to overthrow
governments around the world and replaced them with elections of preselected
candidates and by government approved voters.
The new American foreign policy of “give us your money or else America
will bomb you into the Stone Age” was launched.
The
neocons have believed there should be no constraints on America’s military
might and they reviled the United Nations as a constraint on American
might. From the Third World Traveler:
Excerpt:
In 1997, a small group of potentially powerful
people, just twenty five of them, announced the formation of a new organization
dedicated to building up the power of the United States to unparalleled levels.
They were clearly looking forward to the presidential election of 2000 and the
beginning of a new millennium, because they called their organization "The
Project for the New American Century" (PNAC)….
The rest of the document outlined most of the
detailed program that Bush presented two years later in the fall of 2002.
"The National Security of the United States" was the Bush Gang's plan
for nothing less than a total change in the declared foreign policy of the
United States. Whereas in the past the U.S. had claimed to be resisting hostile
regimes such as the Soviet Union through containment and pledged itself to work
within a variety of global organizations and treaties that promoted peace, the
new policy was clearly imperial in tone.
It stated that the United State would not be
constrained by membership in multinational peacekeeping organizations -
"we will be prepared to act apart when our interests and unique
responsibilities require" - and when
necessary would construct "coalitions of the willing" to follow
its bidding.
The new National Security Doctrine suggested
that the U.S. had the right to discourage others nations from building up their
military power and could act "to dissuade potential adversaries from
pursuing a military buildup in hopes of surpassing, or equaling, the power of
the United States." This included the new explicit policy of
"pre-emptive" war whenever the U.S. feels threatened: "America
will act against such emerging threats before they are fully formed."
What is more, the new American edict told other nations that the conservative
economic objectives of the Republican Party were policies that should be
implemented throughout the whole world…
That must be the austerity
plan that has been enacted across the world due to the world’s wealth being
consolidated into the hands of the few.
According to David Cay Johnston, the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist,
the Bush tax cuts alone cost the American economy $6.6 trillion dollars.
This new foreign policy was the basis for the
speech that Bush made to the United Nations in September of 2002. He told them
that the United States was ready to go
it alone in the world if the U.N. did not join his preemptive war. The U.S.
would take any action that it deemed necessary, against Iraq or anyone else.
His administration was making preparations to act quickly and decisively by shedding its various multilateral
constraints.
That was the groundwork for
the coup that would take place on December 12, 2000. With the complicity of the United States
Senate, five corrupt Republican members of the US Supreme Court condemned the
world to the most horrific cabal’s vision of an imperial United States. Not only was the will of the American people
overturned, but corrupt elections were codified into law through HAVA (Help
America Vote “the right way” Act). From
Censure the Five:
Excerpt:
Why Censure?
When Secretary of State Katherine Harris
certified fellow Republican George W. Bush the winner by 537 votes over
Democrat Al Gore in Florida's 2000 presidential election, at least 175,000
ballots remained uncounted. These had been slightly misexecuted by voters and
excluded from the state's official machine tabulation….
On December 9, 2000, five members of the U.S.
Supreme Court stunned the nation by halting the Florida manual recount.
Justices Rehnquist, Scalia, Thomas, O'Connor, and Kennedy claimed they wished
to review its constitutional validity.
With two rounds of Florida election litigation
behind them and the presidency hanging in the balance, Americans of all
political stripes trusted the U.S. Supreme Court to provide for a satisfactory
means of assessing the will of Florida's voters.
When night fell on
December 12, that faith was betrayed.
There would be no accurate and complete count of
votes in Florida.
December
12, 2000 was the day Democracy in the world died. No longer would America be the beacon of hope
for the world, the innovator, a country where the only limitation to what you
could achieve was you. The country my
father and all our fathers fought wars to preserve was gone, the PNAC gang now
controlled of all levers of the United States government.
"These principles
form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps
through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood
of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed
of our political faith, the text of civil instruction, the touchstone by which
to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in
moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain
the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety."
The
Civil Rights Commission, founded in 1957 and the U.S. courts were the first
victims of the illegitimate PNAC government.
From Media Matters:
Excerpt:
Media figures have emphasized the fact that the
U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is technically "bipartisan" to hype
its investigation of the Justice Department's actions in the New Black Panther
Party case. In reality, the commission's chair has acknowledged that
conservatives "gam[ed] the system" and packed the panel with
conservative activists, and the commission's two Democrats, as well as one
Republican, have criticized the investigation…
Bush reportedly "used a controversial
maneuver to put the agency under conservative control." In a November 6,
2007, Boston Globe article, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie Savage reported that
the "Bush administration used a controversial maneuver to put the [U.S.
Commission on Civil Rights] under conservative control." Savage reported
that "[c]ritics say
Bush in effect installed a fifth and sixth Republican
on the panel in December 2004, after two commissioners, both Republicans when
appointed, reregistered as independents" and that the appointments "have had a
sweeping effect, shifting the commission's emphasis from investigating claims
of civil rights violations to questioning programs designed to offset the
historic effects of discrimination."
The destruction of the
Civil Rights Commission was just the beginning.
Bush fired all the judges, even ones he put on the bench, and replaced
them with extremists. The Supreme Court
that ushered in the PNAC Government has been replaced with the Roberts
Court. The Roberts Court or as I call
them the PNAC Court, is even more corrupt than the Rehnquist Court before
them. According to Reader Supported News the actions
of the court amount to treason.

The Treason of the U.S.
Supreme Court
Written by Robert L Vogel
Wednesday, 16 July 2014 10:39
Don't ever claim that Republican Supreme Court
judges are not activists. Selecting Bush President resulted in two wars at a
cost estimated at $4 trillion accompanied by tax breaks for the wealthiest, a
full-scale assault on civil liberties, an invasive, ineffective 'homeland
security' bureaucracy, criminal acts including torture, rendition, warrantless
wiretapping, secret government, and an agenda that will make us a fascist,
militarized empire. In selecting Bush, the Court assured the wreck of our
republic. His legacy lives on in the Supreme Court.
The Court has sided with corporate interests consistently for a long time: In its 'wisdom', it decided that corporations are people, some with religious beliefs, whose only motive is profit, and that money is speech. The Citizens United and McKutcheon rulings will complete our transition to an oligarchy. Elections clearly are for sale now.
A corporate person, motivated only by profit, is a sociopath. He doesn't care if the planet is destroyed by his pollution. He has no loyalty to community. He is no patriot for he has no binds of citizenship and will move to the lowest wage, least regulated country, avoid all taxes by keeping profits offshore, and will buy as many politicians as necessary to mold policy in his favor. Corporations have set us on a (geologically) fast path to destruction. Maybe that's why the police are being militarized….
Well
the militarization of our police is in part, to ensure the profits of the war
industry.
In its 2012-2013 term The Court ruled against journalists and other civil liberties advocates who tried to oppose surveillance….
We have the world's largest military policing the empire, the largest prison population, rotting infrastructure, the worst income disparity, financially devastating education, weak social programs, and universal surveillance. All of the economic gains for the last three decades have gone to the very top.
The Court has committed a treasonous crime in its complicity in taking the US government from the people and giving it to corporations. A country run by corporations is, by definition, fascist.
The
PNAC crowd has brought the new PNAC-style Democracy show on the road right
after taking control of the American government. The U.S. State Department has been reshaped
with neocons like Victoria Nuland, who served under Cheney and now Biden. Their crown jewel was to be Ukraine. Ukraine, a former Soviet Republic is resource
rich and cash poor and right on Russia’s border.
The government in Ukraine
was overthrown in a CIA coup after their elected President Yanukovych rejected
a PNAC-American and EU trade deal that would have destroyed the country. From Global Research:
Excerpt:
Despite the heightened state of tension between
Russia and the West on the international stage, the Prime Minister of Ukraine –
Arseny Yatsenyuk – recently called for Ukraine to join the North Atlantic
Treaty Organisation (NATO). If Ukraine was to join the alliance in the near
future it would signify a further escalation in a situation that is already
beginning to spiral out of control, as it would directly threaten Russia’s
strategic security…
U.S. stooge Yatsenyuk, or “Yats” to his close
friends at the U.S. State Department, was installed as Prime Minister at the
end of February following the staged revolution which led to the overthrow of
Yanukovych. In a leaked phone conversation between the U.S. Assistant Secretary
of State, Victoria Nuland, and the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt,
the two American diplomats revealed their intentions to install “Yats” to lead
the new puppet government in Kiev…
Since Yatsenyuk was ‘appointed’ Prime Minister
in February, Ukraine has become increasingly polarised into Eastern and Western
Ukraine, with Lugansk and Donetsk in the East declaring independence from the
corrupt and criminal government in Kiev. Western
Ukraine has all but been absorbed into the European sphere of influence, along
with the puppet leaders allowing private and corporate jackals to exploit the
countries resources.
Since the colour revolution in February Ukraine
has agreed a $17bn loan from the economic arm of U.S. imperialism – the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) – as well as receiving 11 billion Euros in
funding from the European Commission. The
new government has also opened up its “rich agriculture to Monsanto, DuPont and
the GMO agribusiness cartel”.
Prior to the PNAC overthrow
of the government of Ukraine, Monsanto’s GMO Frankenstein corn was illegal in
Ukraine, the world’s largest corn producer.
Also Monsanto has its own army, they bought Blackwater.
In addition to this, Western elites have been installed in key positions of the energy
sector in Ukraine, with the son of US Vice President Joe Biden joining the
board of Ukraine’s biggest gas producer in May.
Hunter Biden will sit beside three other corporate heavyweights on the
Board of Directors, including Aleksander Kwaśniewski, who was appointed
Director of the company (Burisma Holdings) in January 2014.
Gee,
I hope Burisma Holdings doesn’t drug test, poor old Hunter Biden just got his
privileged ass kicked out of the Navy when he was busted for cocaine.
So
anyway, the PNAC crowd staged a sham election in Ukraine and billionaire
Poroshenko was “elected” president.
Poroshenko has scheduled parliamentary elections for October 26th. Everybody cheer, it’s another PNAC-American made
election sham. From Time:
Excerpt:
By leaving millions of pro-Russian voters out of
the electoral process, the ballot will only deepen the rifts that lie beneath
the war in eastern Ukraine.
The lynch mob caught up with Nestor Shufrich on
Sept. 30, when he was campaigning for re-election to Ukraine’s parliament.
Outside the press conference he was due to give that day in the port city of
Odessa, a gang of activists and right wing thugs were waiting for him with a
garbage dumpster, into which they had planned to stuff the lawmaker in front of
the assembled journalists.
The ambush, part of a broader purge of
politicians who are seen as sympathetic toward Russia, did not work out;
Shufrich heard about it and cancelled the appearance. But the mob soon tracked
him down inside the local government headquarters, tore his clothes off and
beat him until his eyes swelled, his head concussed and blood poured from his
nose….
In an address to the nation two weeks before the
vote, Poroshenko admitted that the peace process he initiated in September,
including a shaky ceasefire agreed with the pro-Russian rebels, “is constantly
attacked by the gung-ho patriots,” an oblique reference to nationalist groups
like the Radical Party and its loudmouthed
leader Oleh Lyashko….
The most radical among
them have been the paramilitary commanders leading the fight against the rebels
on the front lines and, more recently, campaigning for places in parliament.

| This fascist coup leader, now deputy defense minister of Ukraine |
That’s a PNAC-American
election alright. So, let’s see some of the new politicians in Ukraine. This is from the Wall Street Journal:
Excerpt:
Ukraine's Secret Weapon: Feisty Oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky
Ukraine's Secret Weapon: Feisty Oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky
Funny,
what the Wall Street Journal calls “feisty” most people call mass murderer.
DNIPROPETROVSK, Ukraine—Leaning over a map of
eastern Ukraine on his desk, Gennady Korban gripped a ballpoint pen and drew a
squiggling blue line down its center.
The border, he said, marked the battlefront in
his country's war with pro-Russia separatists. One side was stable, rid of "troublemakers," he
said. On the other are "maniacs," he said. "Men without
families, who don't want families, they just like war." If they cross over the line, he said, "we'll just have to
kill them."
He called the border "Kolomoisky's
line"—after his billionaire boss, who is emerging as one of the more
unlikely protagonists to emerge from Ukraine's fight for survival.
When its high-profile conflict with Russia
began, the fledgling government in Kiev was caught flat-footed, with an army
with little fighting experience or funding. Enter Ihor Kolomoisky, a 51-year-old outspoken banking tycoon. Now
recently appointed by the country's president as governor of Dnipropetrovsk
region in eastern Ukraine, he has
decided to dip into his fortune to bolster that army and defend the homeland.
Hmmmm, I wonder what
happened to the “troublemakers” that were purged. Hey, I think I found them, or their
graves. From Russia Times
Excerpt:
One more mass grave has been found in a village
in eastern Ukraine, say self-defense forces. The site was located days after
OSCE mission confirmed the discovery of three mass burial sites in areas
recently abandoned by Kiev forces.
The new site of the suspected murders is near
Nyzhnia Krynka village, not far from the town of Makeevka, self-proclaimed
Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) First Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Purgin told
ITAR-TASS. The number of bodies and their identities have yet to be determined.
Taped hands, gun wounds’: RT witnesses exhumation
of mass graves in E. Ukraine
“Another grave discovered ... How many bodies
and how these people died will be established during the exhumation,” Purgin
said.
In the meantime, a group of international
experts have already arrived at the area of mass burials in the village, a
source from the DPR told RIA Novosti.
“About 10 international observers are currently
working at the site of mass graves near the village of Nyzhnia Krynka,” said
the source, adding that the group includes experts from Russia and France.
Recently
at a UN Conference, the foreign ministers of Russia and Cuba excoriated the
PNAC-American illegal actions in Ukraine.
From USA Today:
Excerpt:
UNITED NATIONS -- The foreign ministers of
Russia and Cuba Saturday delivered scathing critiques of U.S. support for the
Ukrainian government and U.S. military action against radical Islamist
terrorists in Syria.
"The U.S.-led Western alliance that
portrays itself as a champion of democracy, rule of law and human rights within
individual countries, acts from directly the opposite positions in the
international arena," said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The
West rejects "the sovereign equality of states" and is "trying
to decide for everyone what is good or evil."
His comments before the
U.N. General Assembly came at the end of a week where leader after leader spoke
of the danger that Russia's annexing of Ukrainian territory and support for
pro-Russian separatists in east Ukraine pose to a global system of rules and
principles that are the basis of the United Nations.
Jeebus,
if we had a free press we would see the irony of that. I’m really feeling a lot of respect for
Putin, at least he doesn’t cower at the presence of PNAC-America. He really laid into the PNAC crowd and their
“New World Order” in this article from The Guardian.
Excerpt:
Vladimir Putin used a meeting with foreign
journalists and Russia experts to rail against the United States and the current world order, blaming
Washington for many current global problems, including unrest in Ukraine and
Islamic terrorism….
Putin said that over the past two decades, the
US had behaved as if it were someone “nouveau riche who had suddenly received a
lot of wealth – in this case, global leadership”. Instead of using its powers
wisely, said Putin, the US had created a unilateral and unfair system…
In a terse opening statement before taking
questions for nearly three hours, Putin said: “The exceptionalism of the United
States, the way they implement their leadership, is it really a benefit? And
their worldwide intervention brings peace and stability, progress and peak of
democracy? Maybe we should relax and
enjoy this splendour? No!”
Man,
I love the way he always beats the shit out of the PNAC gang, and ends with a
joke. And, he took questions for nearly
three hours. Putin calls them as he sees
them, From Truthdig:
Excerpt:
Finance in today’s world has become war by
non-military means. Its object is the same as that of military conquest: appropriation
of land and basic infrastructure, and the rents that can be extracted as
tribute. In today’s world this is taken mainly in the form of debt service and
privatization.
That is how neoliberalism works, subduing
economies by indebting their governments and using unpayably high debts as a
lever to pry away the public domain at distress prices. It is what today’s New
Cold War is all about. Backed by the IMF and European Central Bank (ECB) as
knee-breakers in what has become in effect a financial extension of NATO, the
aim is for U.S. and allied investors to appropriate the plums that kleptocrats
have taken from the public domain of Russia, Ukraine and other post-Soviet
economies in these countries, as well as whatever assets remain.
In a recent interview in The New York Review of
Books, George Soros outlines what he thinks should be done for the Ukraine. It
should “encourage its companies to improve their management by finding European
partners.” [2]
This means that kleptocrats should sell major
ownership shares in their companies to Westerners. This would give the West a
stake in protecting them, pressuring their government to tax labor rather than
the wealthy, and helping them cash out and keep their takings in London and New
York to finance Western economies, not that of Ukraine….
U.S. bankers, officials and academics went to
Russia and other former Soviet republics to explain that the most practical
path was to create joint-stock companies and sell shares to Western buyers to
bid up the price. Western banks helped kleptocrats keep the proceeds from these
sales abroad so that they didn’t have to reinvest it at home (or pay taxes).
The tax burden was placed on labor and consumers, not on the windfall gains and
natural resource rents, land rent or monopoly rent being siphoned off.
So
here we are election time again. I can
remember when people from Europe would visit America and buy Levi jeans, Red
Wing Boots and all the things you could only get from America. They were things that were American made, and
that meant quality. Now, PNAC America’s
number one export is “made in America, sham elections.”
