I hear from many Canadians who are outraged that their elected government represents Washington and not Canadians, but as bad as Harper is, Obama and Fox News are worse. On March 26 I managed to catch a bit of Fox news. Murdochs propaganda organ was reporting that Putin was restoring the Soviet era practice of exercise. Fox news made this report into a threatening and dangerous gesture toward the West. Fox produced an expert, whose name I caught as Eric Steckelbeck or something like that. The expert declared that Putin was creating the Hitler youth, with a view toward rebuilding the Soviet empire. The extraordinary transparent lie that Russia sent an army into Ukraine and annexed Crimea is now accepted as fact everywhere in the West, even among critics of US policy toward Russia. Obama, whose government overthrew the democratically elected government in Ukraine and appointed a stooge government that has threatened the Russian provinces; in addition to Crimea other Russian areas were added to Ukraine, falsely accuses Putin of invading and annexing Crimea. Obama, or his handlers and programmers, are relying on the total historical ignorance of Western peoples. The ignorance and gullibility of Western peoples allows the American neoconservatives to fashion news that controls their minds. Obama recently declared that Washingtons destruction of Iraq -- up to one million killed, four million displaced, infrastructure in ruins, sectarian violence exploding, a country in total ruins -- is nowhere near as bad as Russias acceptance of Crimean self-determination. US Secretary of State John Kerry actually ordered Putin to prevent the referendum and stop Crimeans from exercising self-determination. Obamas speech on March 26 at the Palace of Fine Arts in Brussels is surreal. It is beyond hypocrisy. Obama says that Western ideals are challenged by self-determination in Crimea. Russia, Obama says, must be punished by the West for permitting Crimeans to exercise self-determination. The return of a Russian province on its own volition to its mother country where it existed for 200 years is presented by Obama as a dictatorial, anti-democratic act of tyranny.
