Would Uncle Sam just sit back and chill if Russia backed a coup in Canada to help implant a pro-Russian president that outlawed the English language and was unable to control government troops murdering pro-U.S., Canadian citizens near the border?
As Hannah Ardent once remarked, “What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.” Currently, nothing is more rotten to the core than the institutions of the West.

The USA’s latest claim, following events in late September, would have us all believe that Russia blew up its own gas pipeline to Europe, despite having sole control over the on/off valve, which makes as much logical sense as launching a range of chocolate teapots. The Western media have lapped this up without critique, unsurprisingly, failing to question why Russia would engage in such an act of self-sabotage, instead focusing on how, given it occurred in Danish waters, this provocation justifies the potential for a NATO-led World War III. No consideration is given to the fact that Gulf of Tonkin, WMDs, and Assad’s chemical weapons attacks were all proven, under scrutiny, to be false flags to garner public support for more aggressive U.S. foreign policy.
In The Fate of Empires Glubb asserts that, “In spite of the endless variety and the infinite complications of human life, a general pattern does seem to emerge… the life-expectation of a great nation, it appears, commences with a violent, and usually unforeseen, outburst of energy and ends in a lowering of moral standards, cynicism, pessimism, and frivolity.” The decadence and decay are palpable. Gleefully, the Western media propagandises the public to support the desperate imperialists as they fight to the death to maintain hegemony. A fight which, for anyone that understands the deterministic and cyclical nature of history and empires, knows, they cannot win. But before we consider these absurd claims of Russian sabotage within the context of hypocrisy, let’s turn our attention to events that occurred earlier in September.
Less than a month ago, the neoliberal elites finally conquered the apex of irony when the former late night talk show host and self-proclaimed, “Jewish, but not a serious Jew,” John Stewart, partnered up with the cartoon mouse creation of everyone’s favourite anti-Semitic uncle to present a literal Nazi with a medal of honor! Old Walt must’ve been highly conflicted in his cryogenic tank trying to make sense of such insanity!
The incident in question occurred during the DoD funded ’Warrior Games’, held at Disney World, Florida. Normally, this is an annual event billed as, “celebrating the resiliency and dedication of wounded, ill, and injured active-duty and veteran U. S. military service members.” This year, however, in a transparent attempt to justify siphoning off billions in taxes to arms dealers while dispassionately allowing their own people to starve, the government spin doctors added “and friends” to their mission statement.
As Kissinger once stated,”America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests,” hence possibly why only two teams were invited. Europe really should take note. The Pentagon’s first toady was their neighbour, Team Canada. The second would’ve been unthinkable a few years ago, given all the Western documentaries produced on the Neo-Nazi threat in the country, but with the PR machine whitewashing away all sins, brave Team Ukraine was representing to ensure yet another emotive win for the arms industry at the expense of ordinary citizens.
Of course, Ukrainian flags had to be draped over these “heroes” to disguise the black sun tattoos and other Nazi symbols adorning their forearms. Even mentioning these is simply playing into the hands of Putin, allegedly. It’s bizarre how many Americans are so concerned about the threat of the “far right” to their “democracy” and yet are dismissive of the threat of the Neo-Nazis to the “democracy” of Ukraine that they are apparently fighting for. In this upside-down world, Joe Rogan, who voted for left-wing Bernie Sanders, is a far-right danger to liberal values, but the battalion responsible for ethnically cleansing the Donbass, murdering 14,000 civilians since 2014, is simply misunderstood and misguided.
Whilst on the Donbass, how is it possible to argue that Ukraine’s self-determination against the threat of Russia should be defended at all costs, yet concurrently fail to recognise the Donbass region’s similar desire for self-determination following the NATO-led coup in 2014 and the subsequent criminalisation of Russian language and culture of those in the East? The hypocrisy flies in all directions. Not more so than in the condemnation of Russia.
