War in Ukraine and beyond — because the Globalists can never get enough

 From Bob Livingston, 18 April 2022



The Council on Foreign Relations would have you believe that they and their puppet world "leaders" feel something terrible is afoot in Ukraine — and that "Russia" is the bad guy — because there is a war going on. They claim it must stop, and offer supposed solutions to the crisis on its website and in press reports.

Don't be fooled. These globalists love war.


What they do not love is that you might remember who is behind it all by recalling a bit of recent history. The U.S. State Department and the CIA orchestrated the ouster of a legitimately elected government in Ukraine at the behest of the International Monetary Fund, and the U.S. then looted Ukraine's gold reserves and installed a puppet regime, leaving the region in chaos and the U.S. and Russia on the verge of war.


Elected Ukrainian pro-Russia President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted after he rejected the International Monetary Fund's demands to raise taxes and devalue the currency. So the U.S. and the EU installed central banker and hand puppet Arseniy "Yats" Yatsenyuk. A Forbes article described Yats as "... the kind of technocrat you want if you want austerity, with the veneer of professionalism. He's the type of guy who can hobnob with the European elite... unelected and willing to do the IMFs bidding."


In the wee hours of the morning, the U.S. took possession of Ukraine's $1.8 billion (estimated value) gold reserves. That's partial payback for the $5 billion the U.S. invested in dragging Ukraine toward the EU.


The looting continued as Vice President Joe Biden's son took a position with Ukraine's largest private gas producer. Yet it's a "conspiracy" to think that now-president Joe Biden was in any way guilty of any improper dealings in Ukraine while he was vice president.


You are not supposed to wonder about Ukrainian investigators catching representatives of the Burisma Oil Company, a company where Hunter Biden sat on the board of directors, "paying a $6 million bribe to the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Burea (NABU) to get the NABU to shut down the investigation into political graft and corruption by the Ukrainian government that benefitted Burisma," according to published reports.


You are supposed to believe that many Western leaders and major bodies that give financial support to Ukraine also wanted the prosecutor in the Burisma case dismissed because they believed he was not "active enough in tackling corruption."


You are not supposed to remember that Democrats impeached then-sitting president Donald Trump because they claimed he "withheld military aid to Ukraine in pressuring the newly elected Volodymyr Zelensky government to investigate Hunter Biden's recent role as a Burisma board member."


You are not supposed to remember that Biden himself bragged about withholding Ukraine aid to the very Council on Foreign Relations I just mentioned, back in 2019.


You are supposed to gloss over the fact that in 2017, pool reporters were summoned at 11:20 a.m. for what they assumed would be a photo op of Trump and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in the Oval Office. What they found was Trump seated beside the fossilized old war criminal, former NeverTrumper, long-time Council on Foreign Relations denizen and neocon war-making kingpin, Henry Kissinger.


From the report:

 POTUS, wearing a dark suit and red striped tie, said he met with Kissinger to talk "about Russia and various other matters."

"We're talking about Syria and I think that we're going to do very well with respect to Syria and things are happening that are really, really, really positive," Trump added. "We're going to stop the killing and the death."


Kissinger knows a thing or three about "killing and death." But not much, it seems, about how to stop it, and he did not in this case, either... as if that were ever the goal. Quite the opposite, I hope you now suspect.


Previous perturbations


The U.S. has been meddling in Ukraine for quite some time, and the powder keg almost blew in 2014, as Paul Craig Roberts wrote then, "I doubt that the Ukraine crisis precipitated by Washington's overthrow of the democratic government is over. Washington has won the propaganda war everywhere outside of Russia and Ukraine itself. Within Ukraine, people are aware that the coup has made them worse off. Crimea has already separated from the U.S. puppet government in Kiev and rejoined Russia. Other parts of Russian Ukraine could follow."


No one believes that Western Ukraine wants anything to do with Russia and that Putin is lying, and yet Ron Paul pointed out, again, during the original Ukraine unrest in 2014, "The current conflict stems from a divide between western Ukraine, which seeks a closer association with the European Union; and the eastern part of the country, which has closer historic ties to Russia.


"The usual interventionists in the U.S. have long meddled in the internal affairs of Ukraine. In 2003 it was U.S. government money that helped finance the Orange Revolution, as U.S.-funded NGOs favoring one political group over the other were able to change the regime. These same people have not given up on Ukraine. They keep pushing their own agenda for Ukraine behind the scenes, even as they ridicule anyone who claims U.S. involvement.


"A recent leaked telephone conversation between two senior government officials made it clear that not only was the U.S. involved in the Ukrainian unrest, the U.S. was actually seeking to determine who should make up the next Ukrainian government!"


The Russians amassed their forces on the Ukraine border and the Ukrainians called Putting a "fascist" for his actions in Crimea.


Does any of this sound familiar to you? It should. Which leads one to wonder why the members of the CFR are surprised that it has come to war? They are not, no matter what revisionist propaganda they write on their website.


My colleague Brandon Smith, if you recall, wrote: "In Ukraine, we find the globalists creating tensions between the West and the East. Russia's most vital naval base sits in Crimea, an autonomous state tethered to the Ukrainian mainland. Currently, Russia has flooded Crimea with troops in response to the regime change in Ukraine. The new Ukrainian government (backed by NATO) has called this an "invasion" and an act of war, while Western warmongers like McCain and Lindsay Graham spread the propaganda meme that Russia made such a move only because Putin believes the Obama Administration to be 'weak.' Clearly, the idea here is to engineer either high tensions or war between Russia and the United States. Syria failed to produce the desired outcome, so Ukraine was tapped instead."


Created conflict


Ukraine has been "tapped" as a pawn many times. The Terror-Famine struck Ukraine in 1932-33 when as many as 10 million starved. It should come as little surprise that Joseph Stalin was the architect of that tragedy.


Stalin unleashed his secret police (NKVD, which became the KGB, which became the FSB, from whence Vladimir Putin came) targeting capitalists and squeezing greater food production from the suffering peasants. In the 1930s, when quotas could not be met in the face of drought, the NKVD ruthlessly robbed Ukraine of its wheat and packed the grain back to Russia.


Seemingly any time there is unrest or trouble in Russia, Ukraine pays the price, just as it did during the massive heatwave, drought, and wheat crisis back in 2010. It is no coincidence that Crimea became a flashpoint as Russians faced starvation.


It's becoming increasingly obvious that the Ukraine situation has always been an orchestrated crisis. It's directed history orchestrated by the globalists. Ukrainians will likely end up like Iraqis and Libyans, destitute and living in a lawless society, with anyone filling the void who will foment more war for profit.

Putin and Biden are merely pieces on the globalist chessboard. Empires and wars throughout history have been built and fomented upon myths and deception.

Yours for the truth,
