The US has been at war with Russia for over a hundred years. Technically it started out as a war against the Soviet Union, but the enmity remained after we defeated the godless communists.

There was a brief interlude during WWII when we joined forces against Hitler and the Nazi’s but even before the war was over US officials like Alan Dulles were already plotting further conflict. Today we treat Russians worse than the Soviets during the darkest days of the Cold War. We ban Russian musicians, artists, athletes, literature, impose sanctions, insult the President of Russia, and foment war. 

Like many observers, Putin was under the illusion that the US were against the USSR for ideological reasons. He thought, “Sure, they dislike communism, like any good capitalist would.” He believed they would be happy now that Russians are enjoying the fruits of private ownership. But it turns out that the Brits and Yanks were never interested in theory. They hated the communists because they kept Russian commodities out of Western bankers greedy hands. Now that it is Putin who is defending the Russian state, the global banking system has declared him to be the man of evil. 

Russian author, Israeli Shamir contends that the antipathy towards Russia can be traced to the City of London and British bankers, specifically Lord Rothchild. In my study of history, I’ve come around to that point of view, in that when the US assumed the British empire at the end of WWII, England and especially the bankers in the City of London, were secretly controlling it.

The main problem for the capitalists in the US and Great Britain was that the Soviet Union and the communist bloc prevented them from accessing their resources, labor and markets. Thus when the Wall came down the West wasted little time pilfering post USSR Russia. Its enterprises were intact even if suffering from underinvestment. And not only did the Yeltsin government enable the plunder, but many well-placed Russians believed the con that neoliberal shock therapy would be salutary, so there was no pushback.

Another reason for the support for privatization was the fact that well placed Russian oligarchs were poised to plunder Russia. And, who were the Russian oligarchs who seized all of the state controlled wealth in the aftermath of the Soviet Union’s demise? Shamir call them the “Dirty Seven [semiboyarshina] oligarchs who seized control of Russia during Yeltsin’s feeble rule. They all were more or less Jewish, and their solidarity and destructiveness could only compete with their ruthlessness and greed. These seven men practically destroyed millennium-old Russia. They pauperized its people, reduced its industry to ashes, they sold the factories for scrap; they stole all private bank holdings. They even ruined Russian democracy when they shelled Parliament in 1993 using Yeltsin’s tanks, and then, with the assistance of American advisors, by faking the re-election of President Yeltsin in 1996.”

The dirty little secret behind all of the hatred for Russia and Putin is that losing all that fabulous Russian wealth outraged the oligarchs and their western banker allies. This is why they call Vladimir Putin “the bloody tyrant”, because he took away the Russian oil and gas, gold and wheat that they felt they deserved. It’s nothing personal, it’s just business, similar to other countries and rulers who thwart US designs for imperial control.

The foreign policy establishment in the US always saw the present proxy war in Ukraine war (which can be traced to 2014) as a way to bleed Russia of resources. They only understand a unipolar world which revolves around Washington, Wall Street and the City of London. The goal in Ukraine was less to take back the Russian speaking territories for the fascist regime in Kiev and more to unite Europe in a single goal of endless war while establishing a repressive regime in both the USA and Europe for the foreseeable future.

It appears that George Orwell was correct in that–“Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”

But, but, the idea that Jewish bankers in the City of London control the world is just a conspiracy theory, like lizard people, right?

Right?
