WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD ABOUT GEORGIA Why Are Both Republican And Democrat Elites Seeking To Make An Enemy of Russia? War Mongering Is Also A Democrat Vice. America Is Not The World's Policeman. Bush. McCain. Obama and Biden Just Feed Russian Paranoia about Being Encircled. The US Military Industrial Complex Needs and Wants Another Cold War. McCain and Bush Republicans can't seem to go very long without war or the bluster of war, can they? Even some Republicans are disgusted. Reagan`s Assistant Treasury Secretary - Paul Craig Roberts -- sees a very troubled world ahead... and McCain should think twice about his direction... http://www.creators.com/opinion/paul-cra...  Bush is now placing "defensive" American missiles in Poland. This sounds exactly like Soviet missiles in Cuba. They were claimed to be "defensive" then, too, but it led to the Cuban Missile Crisis and very nearly a nuclear Armageddon. Predictably, a Russian General reacted by saying this was a dangerous threat to Russia and could lead to Poland being attacked with Russian nuclear weapons. Some key facts about the Polish missles have not been discussed by the Bush Administration. Are these American-made missles themselves armed with nuclear weapons. Bush said they were meant to protect Europe from a rogue nuclear attack and were not at aimed at Russia. But, how can the Russians be sure. What would America do if the situation was reversed?. We already know. That was what the Cuban Missile Crisis was all about. McCain says we are all Georgians. That is not true. Georgia is 12 thousand miles away. It is in the wild Caucuses in what was once Tsarist Russia. Stalin grew up in Russia. So did the last Soviet Prime Minister, Eduard Shevardnadze. Georgia and its mountains have long been hideaways for bandits and soldiers on the run. McCain's top foreign policy advisor has been on Georgia's payroll. McCain never mentioned that Randy Scheunemann's firm has been paid $900,000 since 2004 to represent the interests of an independent Georgia in Washington.  American Media Lies about Georgia Don't you wonder why al the reports on TV and in the news now omit the most significant and salient fact, namely, that Georgia attacked South Ossetia. No one mentions that when Georgia left the USSR in 1991, South Ossetia chose to stay a part of Russia, as it had been since 1761. As the Georgian attack began, FOX News interviewed a little girl. He asked her the bad Russians. The girl told him that Georgia had first killed many of her people and killed a barrack full of Russians peacekeepers..The interviewer then quickly cut her off  Georgia is not exactly a flourishing democracy. The neutral International Crisis Group reports that "the Saakashvili administration has had significant success in rebuilding moribund institutions and implementing sweeping economic reforms...(but) the concentration of power in the hands of a small elite, cronyism, and lack of judicial independence and media representing different points of view, remain a challenge to democratization. Political unrest in late 2007 with a state of emergency and violent crackdown on protesters underscored the fragility of the new political leadership and revealed increasingly authoritarian tendencies within it." (Source: http://www.crisisgroup.org/home/index.cfm?id=1250 ) Georgian Gangland Killings Secure a More Corrupt Government in 2004 Saakashvili's Rise To Power would make "the Mob" Proud. "Once he was in place in January 2004 as Georgia’s new President, Saakashvili proceeded to pack the regime with his cronies and kinsmen. The death of Zurab Zhvania, his prime minister in February, 2005, remains a mystery. The official version—poisoning by faulty gas heater—was adopted by American FBI investigators within two weeks of the killing. That has never seemed credible to those familiar with Georgia’s gangland slayings, crime, and other manifestations of social decay. Zhvania’s death was followed closely by a functionary of the Premier’s apparat, Georgi Khelashvili, who allegedly shot himself the day after his chief’s demise. The head of Zhvania’s research staff was later found dead as well. Figures allied with Saakashvili reportedly had a hand in the premier’s death. Russian journalist Marina Perevozkina quoted Gia Khurashvili, a Georgian economist. Prior to the fatal incident, Mr. Khurashvili had published an article in Resonans newspaper opposing the privatization and sale of Georgia’s main gas pipeline. Ten days before the prime minister’s body was found, Khurashvili was attacked and his editor-in-chief—citing pressure from ‘security service’ figures he refused to name—issued him a warning. The late premier’s position on the pipeline issue was believed the direct reason for the murder of Zhvania. Zhvania’s brother, Georgi, also told Perevozkina that not long before Zhvania’s death he received a warning that someone was preparing to kill his brother. Saakashvili was reportedly livid when the US State Department invited Zhvania to Washington to win a Freedom Medal from the US Government’s National Democratic Institute. Saakashvili tolerates no rivals for power it seems... "Since coming to power in 2004 with US aid, Saakashvili has led a policy of mass-scale arrests, imprisonment, torture and deepened corruption. Saakashvili has presided over the creation of a de facto one-party state, with a dummy opposition occupying a tiny portion of seats in the parliament, and this public servant is building a Ceaucescu-style palace for himself on the outskirts of Tbilisi. According to the magazine, Civil Georgia (Mar. 22, 2004) until 2005, the salaries of Saakashvili and many of his ministers were reportedly paid by the NGO network of New York-based currency speculator Soros—along with the United Nations Development Program." (Source: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article20569.htm ) With A Little Help from behind The Scenes There are those that argue that but for the CIA, Georgia would not be run by the right-wing Saakashvili administration. This is beyond the scope of what I want to say here. But you can read all about it at http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article20569.htm Saakashvili's rise to power involved significant financing from the US Congress-funded National Endowment for Democracy, an agency created by Ronald Reagan in the 1980’s to “do privately what the CIA used to do, ”namely overthrow governments the US Government deems insufficiently friendly to American interests as it defines. Others say Saakashvili was brought to power by a coup, directed by the "Brezezinski clan" with key financial aid from George Soros. Brezezinski is a top Obama foreign policy advisor, and someone I had as a teacher at Columbia University. Brezezinski was Carter's National Security Advisor. . The Arrogance of Power In his1997 book, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geo-Strategic Imperatives, Brezinski argues that America's chief task is to maintain its "global primacy" over all of Eurasia! (Seriously!?) "To make certain that no state or combination of states gains the capacity to expel the United States from Eurasia or even to diminish significantly its decisive arbitrating role." Such thinking is delusional. He completely forgets that American financial and economic power is decidedly finite. He false assumes that America would use such power wisely. He is an inveterate cold warrior in search of a new cold war. The Democrats desperately need to take a new tact and escape the clutches and outdated thinking by the likes of Brezezinski. "Zbig is the reason our founders made it a requirement that only native born Americans be elected President. He is Polish mostly and would want the US to attack Russia for any reason, and would use ANY excuse to do it." (Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/nathan-gardels/brzezinski-russias-invasi_b_118029.html ) US Meddling Has Made Things Much Worse for Georgians "The long-running dispute over South Ossetia - as well as Abkhazia, the other contested region of Georgia - is the inevitable consequence of the breakup of the Soviet Union... Such problems would be hard enough to settle through negotiation in any circumstances. But add in the tireless US promotion of Georgia as a pro-western, anti-Russian forward base in the region, its efforts to bring Georgia into NATO (and) the routing of a key Caspian oil pipeline through its territory aimed at weakening Russia's control of energy supplies, and conflict was only a matter of time.. Georgia's forces are armed and trained by the US and Israel. It has the third-largest military contingent in Iraq..." (Source: http://www.tbrnews.org/Archives/a2867.htm )  What's worse Georgia's President acts like a certifiable liar who craves media attention. Bush, McCain and Obama have hitched their wagon to a crazy man. Saakashvilli thought the Olympic Games would give him cover for Georgia's invasion of its breakaway province of South Ossetia. What stupidity! When the Russians counter-attacked, Saakashvilli falsely claimed that the US would be taking over Georgian airfields and port facilities to defend Georgia. Georgia under Saakashvilli Sure, the Russian can be accused of over-responding. But the US Corporate media refuses to report about the hundreds of Russians who were killed or wounded when Georgia initiated hostilities by attacking Russia first. The Russian peace keepers had been in South Ossetia for fifteen years when they were attacked. Bush's complaints about a disproportionate response ring especially hollow and hypocritical. It was the Bush Administration which gave a green light to Israel to launch a 35-day bombing of Lebanon after a border skirmish that killed three Israeli soldiers. Bush's war on Iraq has caused the death of over out of every 35 Iraqi. They were never a threat to America. It was always about the oil. Obama and Biden Sound Exactly like McCain Obama, caught by surprise, vacationing in Hawaii, has shown a singular lack of courage. Instead of reminding McCain and Bush that Georgia started the war and then simply urging a quick end of hostilities and the use of UN peace-keepers, Obama could only echo the words of the super-hawks, Cheney, Bush and McCain and side entirely with Georgia. "Russia's invasion of Georgia may be the one of the most significant event to occur in Europe since the end of communism... When Congress reconvenes, I intend to work with the administration to seek Congressional approval for $1 billion in emergency assistance for Georgia." ( Biden - August 19, 2008) In a year when one might hope that Democrats would be defining their differences from the failed policies of Bush and Cheney, they are instead emulating them. No wonder the American public learned so little fromt he failed policies in Viet Nam and made the same mistakes in Iraq. In picking Biden, Obama shows he is easily cowered by right wing super-patriots. In this McCain, might actually be able to act more independently. How much difference is there between the two Presideential candidates? McCain wants to "act tough" and Obama is afraid not to "act tough". I overheard someone ask, "Why vote for Obama, more and more he is just a follower? The Democrats have nothing new to offer on foreign policy." As for Biden, he voted for all the Iraq war appropriations. His so-called foreign policy experience failed him on this key test.  The cruel sport of bear-baiting Russia like a bear, will leave you alone if you do not threaten it. But if you poke it, annoy it with shouts or get between it and its offspring, you will have a fight on your hands. There Can Be No Peace The corporate military industrial complex is taking over the US, lock. stock and barrel. The Democratic Congress has given Bush the authority to spend more than a trillion dollars this year on wars and making wars, despite the fact that with 5% of the world's population we already spending 75% of the entire world's military spending. And it's not like the US has unlimited resources. We are deeply in hock. The federal deficit will be a trillion next year, yet people can't find jobs, afford food and medicine and bridges are collapsing. The military industrial complex is among Nancy Pelosi's biggest campaign contributors. No wonder she won't bring Bush under control, much less impeach him. Obama seems to have the backbone of a jellyfish. When it comes to Georgia, he is a cold warrior, too. Brezezinski, one of his key advisors, was always an ardent cold warrior. In graduate school, he lowered my grade (from A to A-) because I argued in class and in a seminar paper correctly (as it turned out) that economic revisionism would in the end mean the disintegration of Communism in Eastern Europe. Ever, the cold warrior, Brezezinski's stubborn advocacy of the "domino theory" buttressed LBJ's tragic war on VietNam. As National Security Advisor, his callous support for the repressive Shah and hard line with Iran helped bring about the awful Iranian Fundamentalist revolution, which we are still paying for. In 1988, he switched sides and backed Bush I for President. At the time, he said there was a 50% chance that Communish would collapse by 2017. He has consistently opposed Bush II's war on Iraq and agreed with those that say the Israel Lobby is having too much influence over American foreign policy. He considered a close advisor to Obama. Ever the ex-Polish Russophobe, he wants us now to isolate Russia over their counter-invasion of Georgia. Bush's words to Russia about Georgia, "Get out now", are music to low-brow, macho thinkers, but they hardly help Georgia. They have no moral authority, coming from a man who has had America invade a country that was no threat to them and cause over a million Iraqis to die. Georgia was misled, in the first place, by Bush's recklessness false sense of omnipotence. Bush misled the Georgian President into thinking that the US would fight Russia to preserve their independence and would push Britain, France and Germany to have Georgia join NATO. Bush had no such clout and the Russians could see that America was bluffing. America's military has long been exhausted by the 5-year 3 trillion Dollar war in Iraq. Why not give the Russians the two weeks they want to withdraw? . As long as they get out? It's true the Russians want to destroy Georgia's military and capture its weapons. But that is what we would do, if we were attacked first. Comparing Putin to Hitler, Brezezinski says Russia will next devour the Ukraine. I am so tired of Americans being ignored, lied to, duped and manipulated by the White House and both political parties, as they create the conditions for a new cold war with Russia. It seems from the docile and unquestioning corporate media response that the worst fear of Eisenhower has come true, namely that the American Military Industrial Complex now controls 90% of the country and nearly all the corporate media. We know now we were lied to in the start up of the Iraq war Israel, Iran and Oil Georgia is militarily important to America only if the US wants Israel to attack Iran. Israel has sold a lot of military hardware to Georgia. "The military cooperation between the countries developed swiftly. The fact that Georgia's defense minister, Davit Kezerashvili, is a former Israeli who is fluent in Hebrew contributed to this cooperation. “We are now in a fight against the great Russia," he said, "and our hope is to receive assistance from the White House, because Georgia cannot survive on its own. .. The Ministry of Defense of Israel had supplied the Georgian government their Hermes 450 UAV spy drones, made by Elbit Maarahot Systems Ltd, for use, under the strict control of Israeli intelligence units, to conduct intelligence-gathering flights over southern Russia and, most especially into a Iran, targeted for Israeli Air Force attacks in the near future.
