\"\"Back on October 25, 2022 Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) celebrated the withdrawal by the Democratic congressional \u201cprogressive caucus\u201d of their abortive letter (October 24) imploring the Biden administration to engage in serious negotiations with Russia and Ukraine to possibly end the bloody conflict in Eastern Europe that threatens rapidly to become a nuclear conflagration which could end life on earth as we know it.<\/p>\n

Raskin is not just any ordinary Democratic congressman; he\u2019s an important member of the special House commission which has been busily investigating that dire threat to \u201cour democracy,\u201d the January 6, 2021 \u201cinsurrection.\u201d Yes, he\u2019s a far Leftist and Jewish and his message is often just as frenzied and fanatical as that of any member of the Squad. But with one major difference: he\u2019s highly placed and well connected, part of the Democrat establishment, so when he speaks, he speaks with some authority for the party and its leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n

After praising his fellow Leftists for\u00a0withdrawing<\/em>\u00a0their plea for negotiations to end a cruel and vicious conflict\u2014oddly, is that not what Leftists traditionally claim they do, demand \u201cpeace\u201d and an \u201cend to violence\u201d?\u2014and jumping on the jingoist and warmongering bandwagon, a spiraling path which may well end in nuclear holocaust, Raskin uttered his most important and revealing paragraph and the real reasons the US is deeply involved in a faraway conflict in Eastern Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether he realized it or not, it summarizes the official (if unspoken) American and NATO stance on the conflict, and more, the real issues involved. Most everyone in positions of power and authority in Washington and Brussels understands them, but far too many regular Americans do not.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is Raskin stating why we must be in Ukraine:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMoscow right now is a hub of corrupt tyranny, censorship, authoritarian repression, police violence, propaganda, government lies and disinformation, and planning for war crimes. It is a world center of antifeminist, antigay, anti-trans hatred, as well as the homeland of replacement theory for export. In supporting Ukraine, we are opposing these fascist views, and supporting the urgent principles of democratic pluralism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sound familiar? It should, as it is the\u00a0same<\/em>\u00a0litany of accusations we hear constantly and hysterically spouted by most of our legacy media\u00a0domestically<\/em>\u00a0to attack, impugn and cancel those who question and challenge the latest conquests of our \u201cliberal democracy.\u201d The language is nearly identical, save for the location.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those \u201cultra MAGA\u201d types must be defeated, extinguished, whether in America\u00a0or\u00a0<\/em>in Russia\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

Raskin thus reveals the template, a universal template, which is employed both domestically here in the US and also globally by NATO and the EU to justify its actions in Ukraine\u2026and elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

And those actions parallel consistently the actions of official American foreign policy generally since the end of World War II. Certainly, we had to oppose the advance of Soviet Communism after that war, and much of the justification for our foreign policy since then was just that: we had to defeat the Soviets, we had to defend \u201cliberty,\u201d but, more ominously, we had to \u201cforce\u201d (in the words of Allan Bloom in his\u00a0The Closing of the American Mind<\/em>) \u201cliberal democracy\u201d on all those recalcitrant nations around the globe, whether they wished it or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

And so-called American \u201cconservatives\u201d went along, as the threat of Communism was a potential game ender which we had to stop, at all costs. Yet, in retrospect, it appears that each \u201ccrise de guerre,\u201d each crisis which enabled us to engage in what\u00a0seemed<\/em>\u00a0\u201crighteous\u201d warfare at the time, turned out to be a false flag initiated by our government, whether the Gulf of Tonkin \u201cincident\u201d which propelled us into vicious on-the-ground participation in the Vietnam War; the WMDs in Iraq which we solemnly assured the world \u201cwere there secretly hidden by the evil Saddam Hussein\u201d (but which weren\u2019t\u2014a myth manufactured by our zealous Neoconservative globalists); the Syrian \u201cmassacres and gas attacks,\u201d purportedly engineered by President Bashar al-Assad (and his Russian allies), but in fact more false flags staged by John McCain\u2019s terrorist Islamist friends; and the evangelical desire to convert Afghanistan\u2014a nation with a thirteenth century Islamic culture\u2014into a gleaming example of \u201cmodern\u201d American Kulchur, replete with feminism, LGBTQ \u201crights,\u201d and all the other blessings that habitually flow from our imperial foreign policy when we infect a targeted country with our version of progress and liberal democracy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our involvement in Ukraine is the latest chapter in this tragic procession of failed involvements engineered by those who have dominated our foreign policy (and also largely our domestic policies) in their chiliastic desire to establish what my late mentor, conservative Russell Kirk, termed a \u201cPax Americana,\u201d a global entity which bandies about excessively the language of \u201cdemocracy\u201d and \u201chuman rights,\u201d as it proceeds progressively to limit and end the actual liberties of the peoples it comes in contact with\u2026whether here in the US with the weaponization of the DOJ and its armed Stasi-style FBI, or in countries around the world where the global \u201cdemocratic\u201d (read=tyrannical) boot of the US and its minions in NATO and the EU extinguish the heritage and traditional liberties of the inhabitants unfortunate enough to be recipient of American largesse.<\/span><\/p>\n
