American Tech Giants Extensions of the Neocon Agenda



Over the past 60 years, there is no facet of the US government or society that the Neocon-Neolib machine has not penetrated and that of course includes the biggest agents of technology, the IT giants. Their massive potential for influence have been put to work in the failed dream of  "controlled" chaos.
One must be overseas, in a target nation for this "controlled" chaos to truly appreciate how pervasive these extensions of the State Department are.

Several examples: the Ukrainian nazi pusche of 2013 sponsored by America and the EU that resulted in an attempted genocide of the Russian 45% of the population, a genocide that continues with full American and EU sponsorship to this day. Where the nazis lost on the battlefield, though they continue shelling civilians on a daily basis, they have made up by Hitlerite tactics of forced religious and linguistical conversions and police state terror tactics.

Of course one would never know this, as the Western media only praises its this brown plague and quiets over those uncomfortable issues such as mass arrests by the SBU of bloggers or just average citizens voicing critiques of the government. And since its Russians being murdered the West could not care less.

Those who try to push the truth through on Western platforms are banned or blocked by the army of Ukrainian moderators FaceBook has hired.

Now its Belarus, with the hypocritical West savagely suppressing its own protesting population and waxing in grief about the very light police tactics of Lukashenko. Their latest martyr hero who died in the protests, died when his own bomb blew up prematurely. This dead terrorist brought out no less then every EU ambassador, paying him tribute. This insanity has gone so far that even  Gas Gas Gas Them Macron, who for 2 years has set records in the use of CS gas on one's own populace, utilizing absolute third world tyranny against his own French population (not the illegal immigrant arabs or africans he uses to replace his French population) talks about the people's right to demonstrate in Belarus, you know the bottom of morality pit has been reached.

Youtube, one of those platforms that has decided to become an insidious organ of planned chaos, constantly places videos in support of the demonstrations on every Russian's and Belarus' suggestions list. You can not block them. Many are out and out falsehoods, but that does not bother Youtube that instantly blocks conservative sites and channels.

When demonstrations started in Russia in 2014, Facebook for its part tried to mobilize the public using any pretext to get people into the streets: fight for abortions, fight against abortion, against Putin, for the Church and so on. These commercials were placed in most Russians' news streams. All adverted the same date, time and location in hopes of getting as many people out and creating as much havoc. 

During the last parliamentary Russian elections, in the 24 hours of silence before the elections, when all political ads are banned, Facebook continued to flood the timelines with ads for the most radical members of the opposition.

Facebook, agent provocateur.

The Russian government, along with any other government so affected must fight this direct and illegal threat to their sovereignty by a set of elites unanswerable to anyone, to include the laws of their home country of America.

The way to fight these American neocon-neolib hegemons, of course is not banning them. This, firstly, turns them into victims and  hands them the moral high ground, secondly that approach with today's technology is pointless. They must be fought on their home turfs in the best of American traditions^ sued by the victims of their propaganda in single and class action lawsuits. The affected governments, with their deep pockets can easily hire legions of American lawyers to take these tech giants to court, endless court with the aim not necessarily to win but to punish with loss of capital and stock price until the illegal behaviors become to expensive to continue. There are millions of victims of the extremists that these tech giants support directly. In Ukraine, over 8 million people have suffered alone and throughout the world, those numbers are many times larger. No matter the size of the pockets of any one tech giant, they are no contest for the pockets of any medium sized state.

 The same strategy should be utilized by the various conservative groups in America, who have been harmed greatly by the immoral actions of these elitist organizations.

Another Blow to US Business Prospects in Russia

Today the news hit the papers that a group of US Congressmen, led by Eliot L. Engel, have put together a new bill of sanctions upon Russia for the alleged violations of human rights.

“Vladimir Putin is a cruel authoritarian with a long track record of silencing civil liberties, including freedom of the press, freedom of speech, political opposition, and democracy. We need only to look at the violent killing of Putin-critic Boris Nemtsov to see how Putin brutally suppresses those who speak out against him,” Engel said.

As I have written in the past, Russian freedom of the press is in quite good health, better health, one might say then the US corporate clone media. As for political freedom, Russia has 5 parties in parliament and over 700 registered parties in the country, many times more than the US or any of the other Western countries who have declared themselves the arbiters of democracy. Additionally, as to Boris Nemtsov, a man who by the time of his death, was a long gone political has been and could not have garnered 3% of the vote in the previous elections, having him gunned down across from the Kremlin, in broad day light only made sense in an Austin Powers movie or for a foreign power in need of a new martyr for a fake narrative.

So let us take stock of this situation. In the middle of a COVID exasperated but long foretold economic collapse, with spiraling systematic mass unemployment and mass bankruptcies of major retail corporations, meat rationing due to the closure of meat plants and the destruction of herds by bankrupt farmers, and a run away Fed that has now decided to print without end, the US has decided to up the anti.

Not satisfied with its endless wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and illegal intervention in Syria replete with the mass theft of Syrian oil, it finds itself on the brink of war with Iran and Venezuela, with new tensions with Cuba, with bad blood with its European vassals after out and out piracy of German, French, Italian and Canadian (ok they are not European) medical supplies. The US has launched in effect a war of words, accusations and again trade with China, a war threatening to turn hot. It has extremely tense relations with Turkey, has attempted to strong arm Saudi Arabia, the very nation because of whom the US dollar is the world's reserve currency. Even India has started to again distance itself after America's ham fisted attempts at putting pressure on that nation.

So in the midst of a total collapse in world credibility and partnership, the insanity that is the modern US government, to include both parties of the Congress, has decided to reignite the pressure and standoff with Russia, by creating yet more sanctions.

Russia has had waves of sanctions launched against it in the past 7 years. First for the democratic choice of Crimeans to leave the Ukraine after a western sponsored nazi coup, then for Ukraine's genocidal war against the Donbass that has thankfully failed, followed by the fictitious 2016 Russian election tampering, the comedy show of the supposed Skripel poisonings and for Rosneft continuing business dealings with the legitimate Venezuelan government, instead of confiscating and pocketing billions of Venezuela's oil revenues, like some others. I am sure I have missed a few more.

To this end, President Putin will now face ever stronger domestic pressure to respond in kind and further more so since Russia sent a plane of medical aid to the US and was already rewarded by howlers of Russophobia in the US media. Russian public opinion was very angry about any Russian sent help to the US which is seen by many as an aggressor. To that end, to put his hand out, President Putin took a hit to his own popularity. That this has now been repaid first by the western MSM screaming about cynical political ploys and now with additional sanctions, President Putin's position can not help but harden. Additionally the Medvedev Atlantist neo-liberal block has effectively been removed from power and those still remaining in positions, neutered.

So what does this mean for US business: more of the same as it has for the past 7 years. US business has lost market space, has lost revenue and opportunities. Not only has US business lost large chunks to European and Asian competitors, Russia through aggressive import substitution has created manufacturers who first filled Russia's own needs and are now starting to come onto the world market as competitors to those same American corporations.

Just a few examples: Exxon was forced out by Obama from the northern Russian marine oil fields. Rosneft brought Exxon in because Exxon already had the technology it needed. With Exxon gone, Rosneft was forced to invest its own funds into developing those same technologies and once developed, it is now free with its own patents to compete and to compete at a lower production margin. Exxon itself, in just one trillion dollar light sweet crude field, a field in a sea of many such fields, lost $100 billion over a 10 year period and the US taxpayers equally lost $10 billion in taxes.

The various large scale Russian infrastructure projects, such as the Amyrsk LNG plant, the World Cup football stadiums, the expansion of various Russian oil refineries over the past 5 years and so on have also seen strict banning of any US based vendors. When asked America's political instability towards Russia is the given reason.

Even world credit card markets now have the Mir card as a new competitor. True, still in the early stages on the world stage, it has taken over a large chun

In a post Corona and more precisely mid Greater Depression era, these major projects will be some of the few still left ongoing. The pressure on US business, with such huge closed markets, along with a loss of markets in China and a broken EU, will be enormous. What can readily be the very lifeline for millions of jobs is no more and can be no more in the face of the cowardliness of American business leaders to call out the insanity of Washington.

Such is the price of silence.
