It's Nothing But Lies ... Please Save Us, Russia

It's Nothing But Lies  ... Please Save Us, Russia http://www.pravdareport.com/russia/politics/05-05-2016/134341-russia_west-0/   Russia must save the West from totalitarianism 05.05.2016 Russia must save the West from totalitarianism. Strangely enough, many Western policy-makers become "enlightened" and suddenly admit the falsity of their statements about Russia as soon as they retire. The most recent example is the statement from federal judge Shira A. Scheindlin about her sentence against Russian citizen Viktor Bout in 2012. According to Scheindlin, 25 years in prison, to which she sentenced the Russian, was too much strict a sentence, The New York Times wrote. It is worthy of note that the judge had resigned before she made the above-mentioned statement. We can recall other examples. For example, the head of French intelligence, General Christophe Gomart, stated that the Russian army had not invaded and did not plan to invade Ukraine. Former US President Jimmy Carter said that the return of the Crimea to Russia was inevitable against the backdrop of the circumstances of the Ukrainian crisis. It is highly unlikely that Carter would dare to make such a statement, if he served as the current President of the United States. This behavior of politicians and officials shows that one of their work duties is to lie, writer Anatoly Wasserman said in an interview with Pravda.Ru. As they retire, they try to whitewash their reputation.  [Comment:  journalist & political commentator] All this must be taken into account not to expect an opportunity to come to an agreement with Western officials, Wasserman believes.  It would be more correct to address common people of Western countries to show the false nature of their leaders to them.  [comment: As Western politicians and officials demonstrate a pattern of public pretence while in office (per above few examples), coming to an agreement on issues with Western authorities cannot rationally be expected.  Under the circumstances, the more rational approach is to address the general public that is routinely deceived by politicians, in order to lift the veil of Western political deceit.] "We must try to show the truth to ordinary citizens in the first place. We must show them what is really happening and what long-term effects may come from what appears to be absolutely acceptable and even beneficial to them," Anatoly Wasserman said in an interview with Pravda.Ru. The population of Western countries still benefits by following the advice of their leaders, the expert said. It is important to explain to them what losses these benefits may entail tomorrow. "If they see how dangerous their own actions can be, then one can hope that they will reject the lies and step on the path of truth in their own interests." The Western society is based on the concepts of freedom that it does not have. Instead, the Western society has been displaying signs of totalitarianism. According to Anatoly Wasserman, the Americans raised their economy on slave labor before launching the global campaign not to call blacks 'blacks.'  [comment:  ie before launching into a global campaign of American government political exploitation, as the world's newly minted 'champions' of black issues / politics etc, I would guess.  Much like their politically exploitative women's and homosexual issues schtick. ] "They remember those crimes, and now they are trying to make the whole world believe that it was not them, who committed those crimes, that it was the whole world that shared bad attitude towards blacks, and, accordingly, it is the whole world that should wash away the American guilt before blacks. Similarly, when they fight and proclaim their freedoms, they imply that the West has bid farewell to its freedoms," Anatoly Wasserman said. The expert added that in the Western society, especially in the Anglo-Saxon part of it, the pressure of public opinion is much stronger than in the Russian society. "Even in Russian provinces, where people traditionally dislike everything that is not traditional, people are more tolerant to other people's conduct. In European cities, intolerance has reached even most remote neighborhoods. "Many Russians, who have moved to the West in a hope to find tolerance and freedom, acknowledge that they come across absolutely the opposite. Therefore, all the stories about the totalitarian Russia display another attempt of the West to lay their own fault to somebody else's door." http://www.pravdareport.com/russia/politics/05-05-2016/134341-russia_west-0/ COMMENT The American Capitalist Empire needs to quit projecting its own vices on the rest of the world.  Nobody's buying the bull America's selling anymore.  LOL ... you can actually see that scrolling through the reader comments in Western hit piece articles.  Comments in favour of Vladimir Putin.  It's hilarious. Noam Chomsky also has something interesting to say about the extent of 'thought control' and public opinion shaping that we're subjected to in the West - link.

First American Cartoonist/Journalist Reportedly In Hiding From Radical Islam (4 Years) - Molly Norris

ꕤ Article SOURCE http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/17/us/17cartoon.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/17/us/17cartoon.html?_r=0 Cartoonist in Hiding After Death Threats By BRIAN STELTERSEPT. 16, 2010 A cartoonist in Seattle who promoted an “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” last spring is now in hiding after her life was threatened by Islamic extremists. The cartoonist, Molly Norris, has changed her name and has stopped producing work for a local alternative newspaper, Seattle Weekly, according to the newspaper’s editor, Mark D. Fefer. Mr. Fefer declined an interview request Thursday, citing “the sensitivity of the situation.” But in a letter to readers about Ms. Norris on Wednesday, he said that “on the insistence of top security specialists at the F.B.I., she is, as they put it, ‘going ghost’: moving, changing her name, and essentially wiping away her identity.” The F.B.I. declined to comment on the case. Ms. Norris attracted attention after she published a poster on the Internet in April satirically proposing that people draw figures of the Prophet Muhammad on May 20. She indicated that the proposal was a protest of censorship by Comedy Central, which edited out references to Muhammad from an episode of “South Park” that month. That episode also triggered threats from extremists. Islam forbids depictions of the Prophet Muhammad. In 2005, a Danish cartoonist named Kurt Westergaard published a depiction of Muhammad that led to multiple death threats and alleged assassination attempts. He was presented an award this month for freedom of speech by Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany. The poster by Ms. Norris spread on the Internet and spawned Facebook groups both for and against the idea. She quickly tried to tamp down the controversy, apologizing to Muslims and at one point joking that the event should be renamed “Everybody Draw Al Gore Day.” The protest movement continued in the spring largely without her involvement. In July, Anwar al-Awlaki, the radical Yemeni-American cleric who is accused of ties to Al Qaeda, said in a document published on the Internet that Ms. Norris “should be taken as a prime target of assassination,” according to the NEFA Foundation, a private group that monitors extremist Web sites, which translated the document. Mr. Awlaki stated that Ms. Norris and other unnamed people in the United States and Europe “are expressing their hatred of the Messenger of Islam through ridicule.” In a controversial step, the Obama administration this year authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to kill Mr. Awlaki, who is in hiding. Seattle Weekly started to publish cartoons by Ms. Norris about two months ago. Her last cartoon appeared in the Sept. 8 issue. Ms. Norris did not respond to e-mail messages on Thursday. Her personal Web site has been taken offline. Michael Cavna, a writer for Comic Riffs, a Washington Post blog about comics, said that he contacted her on Thursday and that she verified Mr. Fefer’s version of events. Mr. Fefer wrote that Ms. Norris had likened her situation “to cancer — it might basically be nothing, it might be urgent and serious, it might go away and never return, or it might pop up again when she least expects it.” Correction: September 18, 2010 An article on Friday about a Seattle cartoonist who went into hiding after she was threatened by Islamic extremists for promoting an “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day” misstated the nationality of Kurt Westergaard, the cartoonist whose depictions of Muhammad in 2005 drew similar threats. He is Danish, not Dutch. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/17/us/17cartoon.html?_r=0 Seattle cartoonist still in hiding four years after Islamic fatwa It’s been four years since Molly Norris left her cartoonist job at the Seattle Weekly and went underground in 2010 after an Islamic extremist put her on a hit list for creating ‘Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.’ BY Nicole Hensley NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Saturday, January 10, 2015, 6:44 PM The horrific massacre of Charlie Hebdo staff is a somber reminder that an American cartoonist has fearfully been in hiding since 2010. Molly Norris, a former cartoonist with the Seattle Weekly, vanished on advice of the FBI after Islamic militant Anwar al-Awlaki put her on a hit list for creating “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.” “She had to completely change her identity, disappear from her work,” Larry Kelley, the founder of the Free Molly Norris Foundation, told KOMO-TV this week. Kelley says Norris is the first American journalist working in the United States to be forced into hiding by “radical Islam.”   [ ...

Kurt Westergaard, 80, has received numerous death threats and lives under police protection since his caricature of a swarthy man with a bomb swaddled in his turban was published by daily Jyllands-Posten on September 30, 2005. In 2010 an axe and knife-wielding man broke into his home, forcing him to take refuge in a panic room for 10 minutes as his attacker pounded on the door, while his five-year-old granddaughter was left alone in the living room. “My basic feeling has been and still is anger. If you are threatened I think anger is a good feeling because it is like you mentally strike back,” he told AFP in a telephone interview. [ ...

Although Merkel is the focal point, this is a NATO-allied (official and unofficial -- eg Sweden) standard practice  in Western Europe and, to a lesser extent (I believe), also in the former British European colonies. Meanwhile, Germany's government has: 1.  harassed, politically persecuted and imprisoned a number of native Germans who question or otherwise challenge (even academically), state-enforced historical narrative of WWII events; 2.  harassed persons who otherwise seek to exercise freedom of expression and political freedom in Germany; 3. 'legally' denied the right of legal defence to right leaning thinkers; 4. harassed (and imprisoned) legal defence of those accused of 'constitutional crimes' ... which is pretty much state-made suppression laws of the defeated-in-war & still not a sovereign nation kind, I would say; 5. legally harasses Germans who do not even live in Germany, by seeking extradition to Germany for thought and speech POLITICAL SUPPRESSION targeted State 'crimes'. For a suppressive (& nominally sovereign) state such as Germany to hand out a 'freedom of speech' award is farcical.   In following policy in favour of ongoing and exponentially increasing influx of non-European immigration from regions prone to produce religious zealotry and political resistance of the terror attack kind, Germany (along with Western Europe and the West in general) is instrumental in SHUTTING DOWN freedom of speech and other Western freedoms in a variety of ways. The dismantling of Western freedoms and dismantling of European culture and society by Western states, even  as such states publicly praise Western 'freedoms' and ideology, while claiming to defend same from radical Islam, is as farcical as Germany handing out a freedom of speech award. Western Police State Imposing 'speech laws', imposing mass surveillance, imposing political police spy-infiltration of right-leaning activist political movements and/or parties, suppressing European nationalism and culture (while institutionally recognising alien/foreign identity, culture etc), imposing targeted state spying for censorship purposes (eg on social media) and censoring Germans who dissent on Facebook (with Facebook cooperation), for example, is just some of the surveillance, intrusion, political suppression, and violation of freedoms that routinely take place in the West, due, to a large extent, to a policy of permitting what amounts to hostile foreign invasion while simultaneously (a) exposing domestic populations to existential threat (of several types - displacement, ethnic dilution, political emasculation, and eventual genocide (slow or fast), along with more obvious and immediate dangers -- eg terror attacks, race riots etc); and (b) suppressing inevitable and legitimate complaint/dissent. Who in their right mind wants to live in a society where film-makers are butchered in the street, and artists/cartoonists are forced to go into hiding in their homelands because of threat from foreigners? The liberal 'left' universalist ideologically-possessed, saviour-fascist, rent-a-protest neocon colonialism shilling brigade is insane. Even so, I felt sorry for this guy getting extra-judicially droned by the CIA (and probably even more outraged) that he couldn't even buy sex in peace, without getting repeatedly harassed by the state and forced to submit to state punishments for it (in the 'free' West): 1996 al-Awlaki arrested in San Diego charged with soliciting prostitutes pled lesser fined $400 required to attend informational sessions on AIDS 1997 al-Awlaki arrested in San Diego charged with soliciting prostitutes pled guilty fined $240 ordered to perform 12 days of community service received x3 years' probation Nov 2001 to Jan 2002 FBI observed him visiting a number of prostitutes interviewed them established he had paid for sex acts No prosecution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki  but when I read what he said about the cartoonist that reportedly went into hiding, basically encouraging religious extremists to kill her, I felt really angry and not at all sorry he'd been droned. But I can't help wondering whether the 'disappearing' cartoonist is real or maybe a limited hangout thingy, aimed to swing public opinion in favour of extra-judical drone attacks in the US?  Or is that too far-fetched?  lol Maybe the cartoon 'psyop' idea is too far-fetched, because there's footage of some religious extremist guy in the US carrying out an ambush shooting of a policeman the other day in Philadelphia - here. Whatever it was, there is definitely artists in hiding in Europe, where the negligent politicians have been pretending the last decade that this isn't happening. Of course, the threat is not limited to artists, but the Western European politicians, media and other intelligentsia refuse to recognise and name this threat.   And, no, it's not 'radicalisation':  it's non-European immigration. Obviously, the politicians serve transnational agendas, without a care for their own people:  their polices never shift to what is logical and beneficial for their own kind. ꕤ
