The U.S. Is Destroying Europe

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Authored by Eric Zuesse via Strategic-Culture.org,

In Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and other countries at the periphery or edges of Europe, U.S. President Barack Obama has been pursuing a policy of destabilization, and even of bombings and other military assistance, that drives millions of refugees out of those peripheral areas and into Europe, thereby adding fuel to the far-rightwing fires of anti-immigrant rejectionism, and of resultant political destabilization, throughout Europe, not only on its peripheries, but even as far away as in northern Europe.

Shamus Cooke at Off-Guardian headlines on 3 August 2015, “Obama’s ‘Safe Zone’ in Syria Intended to Turn It into New Libya,” and he reports that Obama has approved U.S. air support for Turkey’s previously unenfoceable no-fly zone over Syria. The U.S. will now shoot down all of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s planes that are targeting the extremist-Muslim groups, including ISIS, that have taken over huge swaths of Syrian territory.

Cooke reports:

“Turkey has been demanding this no-fly zone from Obama since the Syrian war started. It’s been discussed throughout the conflict and even in recent months, though the intended goal was always the Syrian government. And suddenly the no-fly zone is happening — right where Turkey always wanted it — but it’s being labeled an 'anti-ISIS' safe zone, instead of its proper name: 'Anti Kurdish and anti-Syrian government' safe zone.”

The New York Times reported on July 27th, that, "the plan calls for relatively moderate Syrian insurgents to take the territory, with the help of American and possibly Turkish air support.” However, the Times, stenographically reporting (as usual) from and for their U.S. Government sources (and so propagandizing for the U.S. Government), fails to define “relatively moderate,” but all of the “relatively moderate insurgent” groups in Syria cooperate with ISIS and help them to find and decapitate, or sometimes hold for ransoms, any non-Muslims there. Under Assad, Syria has been a non-clerical state, and has enjoyed freedom of religion, but all of the Syrian opposition to Assad’s rule is alien to that. The U.S. is now, even more clearly than before, anti-Assad, pro-Islamist.

Seymour Hersh reported in the London Review of Books on 17 April 2014, that the Obama Administration’s Libyan bombing campaign in 2011 was part of a broader program to bring sarin gas from Libya to the al-Nusra Front in Syria, in order to help produce a gas-attack upon civilians, which the U.S. Administration could then blame upon Assad, as being an excuse to bomb there just as Obama had already so successfully done in Libya. Both dictators, Gaddafi and Assad, were allied with Russia, and Assad especially has been important to Russia, as a transit-route for Russia’s gas supplies, and not for Qatar’s gas supplies — Qatar being the major potential threat to Russia’s status as the top supplier of gas into Europe.

Obama’s top goal in international relations, and throughout his military policies, has been to defeat Russia, to force a regime-change there that will make Russia part of the American empire, no longer the major nation that resists control from Washington.

Prior to the U.S. bombings of Libya in 2011, Libya was at peace and thriving. Per-capita GDP (income) in 2010 according to the IMF was $12,357.80, but it plunged to only $5,839.70 in 2011 — the year we bombed and destroyed the country. (Hillary Clinton famously bragged, “We came, we saw, he [Gaddafi] died!”) (And, unlike in U.S. ally Saudi Arabia, that per-capita GDP was remarkably evenly distributed, and both education and health care were socialized and available to everyone, even to the poor.) More recently, on 15 February 2015, reporter Leila Fadel of NPR bannered “With Oil Fields Under Attack, Libya’s Economic Future Looks Bleak.” She announced: “The man in charge looks at production and knows the future is bleak. 'We cannot produce. We are losing 80 percent of our production,' says Mustapha Sanallah, the chairman of Libya's National Oil Corporation.” Under instructions from Washington, the IMF hasn’t been reliably reporting Libya’s GDP figures after 2011, but instead shows that things there were immediately restored to normal (even to better than normal: $13,580.55 per-capita GDP) in 2012, but everybody knows that it’s false; even NPR is, in effect, reporting that it’s not true. The CIA estimates that Libya’s per-capita GDP was a ridiculous $23,900 in 2012 (they give no figures for the years before that), and says Libya’s per-capita GDP has declined only slightly thereafter. None of the official estimates are at all trustworthy, though the Atlantic Council at least made an effort to explain things honestly, headlining in their latest systematic report about Libya’s economy, on 23 January 2014, “Libya: Facing Economic Collapse in 2014.”

Libya has become Europe’s big problem. Millions of Libyans are fleeing the chaos there. Some of them are fleeing across the Mediterranean and ending up in refugee camps in southern Italy; and some are escaping to elsewhere in Europe.

And Syria is now yet another nation that’s being destroyed in order to conquer Russia. Even the reliably propagandistic New York Times is acknowledging, in its ‘news’ reporting, that, "both the Turks and the Syrian insurgents see defeating President Bashar al-Assad of Syria as their first priority.” So: U.S. bombers will be enforcing a no-fly-zone over parts of Syria in order to bring down Russia’s ally Bashar al-Assad and replace his secular government by an Islamic government — and the 'anti-ISIS' thing is just for show; it’s PR, propaganda. The public cares far more about defeating ISIS than about defeating Russia; but that’s not the way America’s aristocracy views things. Their objective is extending America’s empire — extending their own empire.

Similarly, Obama overthrew the neutralist government of Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine in February 2014, but that was under the fake cover of ‘democracy’ demonstrations, instead of under the fake cover of ‘opposing Islamic terrorism’ or whatever other phrases that the U.S. Government uses to fool suckers about America’s installation of, and support to, a rabidly anti-Russia, racist-fascist, or nazi, government next door to Russia, in Ukraine. Just as Libya had been at peace before the U.S. invaded and destroyed it, and just as Syria had been at peace before the U.S and Turkey invaded and destroyed it, Ukraine too was at peace before the U.S. perpetrated its coup there and installed nazis and an ethnic cleansing campaign there, and destroyed Ukraine too.

Like with Libya before the overthrow of Gaddafi there, or Syria before the current effort to overthrow Assad there, or the more recent successful overthrow of Ukraine’s democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych, it’s all aimed to defeat Russia.

The fact that all of Europe is sharing in the devastation that Obama and other American conservatives — imperialists, even — impose, is of little if any concern to the powers-that-be in Washington DC, but, if it matters at all to them, then perhaps it’s another appealing aspect of this broader operation: By weakening European nations, and not only nations in the Middle East, Obama’s war against Russia is yet further establishing America to be “the last man standing,” at the end of the chaos and destruction that America causes.

Consequently, for example, in terms of U.S. international strategy, the fact that the economic sanctions against Russia are enormously harming the economies of European nations is good, not bad.

There are two ways to win, at any game: One is by improving one’s own performance. The other is by weakening the performances by all of one’s competitors. The United States is now relying almost entirely upon the latter type of strategy.

Again, right on the mark. Americans are so misinformed about history. Who do you think the term "carpet bagger" is referring, Jews coming down to take advantage of the south's misery...Same happened before and after the 2nd world war.

 

The Magna Carta, circa 1215 AD, specifically talks about Jews and their aggressive Lending practices. This is nothing new, the only thing new, is how ignorant Americas are of its influence in our/over our society.

 

The Federal Reserve which is no doubt a zionist organization has been at the heart of much of America's corruption and destruction.

 

In school I never learned about Executive Order 11110, the order JFK signed 5 months before his death, directing the US to start printing its own money.One could certainly make the argument that it was indeed the fed who orchestrated Kennedy's assassination. Coincidentally Lincoln had begun the issuance of War Dollars, in an affront to the Central Banks, just before he was hot in the head. 

 

The Federal tax as created soon after the Federal Reserve was created, to pay for our "loans" from the Federal Reserve...providing a service we can do for ourselves and charging us billions. 40% of our Federal taxes go to pay back the Federal Reserve!

 

It goes on and on...

And the US is destroying and destabalizing and destroying every other nation under the influence of the jew, while they are simultaneously destroying everything in the US as well. Just look at all the multiculturalism and nigger bullshit with whites being completely handcuffed. So.......just like the jews used germany to get israel, the jews are using usa to destroy everything but israel. The final goal is to have a greater israel while every other country is in shambles, including the usa. The jews are the terrorists of the world, not the muslims.

You are right on the money, the Jew is all about divide and conquer.

 

The problem is the control the media and the entertainment industry. If you want to make a movie in anyway critical about Wall Street, Israel, US War policy, forget about it. I saw a movie not so long ago called "Dracula the untold story". In Hollywood's latest version, Dracula is the victim to ...wait for it....Muslims of course. It is so obvious it is shocking more Americans don't catch on, but Americans are sheep.

Look at who controls Facebook, a room full of people help create it, but when the dust settles, a Jew is on top, because mark Zuckerberg was smarter, NO, because those who funded the venture were Jews and Jews take care of Jews...

It is going to get worse before it gets better, the only weapon against them, for the time being, is information, and that is only as long as we have a free internet.

same with the music industry, the Jews, thanks to Bill Clinton, consolidated the entertainment industry, now THEY say what "rap" is, and what passes for music. Gone are the days of productive resistance music, now its all hate, rape, misogyny, just for the sake of its destructiveness. They are truly villains.

 

The top priority of most Jewish organizations in America, after support for Isrihell, is open borders and amnesty for illegals. Now on the face of it, it might seem altruistic, except for the fact that in Israel these groups fully support Israel's total control of its immigration, only allowing in "Jews". The plan in America is just seeding more racial disharmony in the future.

One thing that I can surmise from a committed clan of Cabbageheaders posting at a Cabbagehead website controlled by ABC Media, and that is that there are people who promote evil as good, and the darkness as light.  Or that the Joooos provide a intel gathering site for Cabbageheaders.  (Cabbageheads, are borscht eating, woodka swillin Slavs.  

Months ago I was attacked repeatedly for a point of view, without my now typical bile, as a Jooo cause only a Jew could have such an opinion.  So I am the de facto ZH Jooo and I openly accept the challenge.  No faggot like you will ever teach me anything but what I already know, you and those of your ilk are animals across the ages of humanity.  As soon as you're sterilized, new spores like you germinate.  So when can I visit your hovel and fck you in the mouth?

Voodoo and superstition.  No such thing as Karma, predestination, or the Almighty.  Only randomized life and death if we're lucky.

So you are saying there is no such thing as Cause and Effect?  because that is what KARMA is.  Everything is Cause and Effect.  All phenomena including all LIFE.

For every cause there is an effect and for every effect there is a cause.

 There is no such thing as coincidence.

Superstiition , predestination is crap  I agree

and heaven and hell are life conditions within each person.  NOT some place you go.

Your interpretation of Karma is superstitious imho.  Who would know this cause and effect of another, by what standard would one measure the cause and effect?  And since there is no hereafter, much of what Karma is suppose to correct is just off the table, beyond the realm of possibility. Pay back is a bitch are actions taken by those here and now.

Not so long ago, if you even mentioned Jews or Zionists, as being behind much of America's aggressive (murderous) foreign policy, you were instantly silenced, either by internet (hasbara) bullies, or by deleted comments.

Ancient Polish proverb  ''The Jew cries out in pain, as he strikes you''.

Jews are like the whiny kid in a store bugging his mother for candy.  Finally to shut him up she buys him candy.

Then they are satisfied until they start whining for a few hundred million more from their HOST nation.

They are never satisfied.  They are AMORAL parasites and psychopaths.

Actually, the US does not even need to do much. The EU is so incompetent on how they can stop this flow of migrants. They can stop this first of all by not participating in US wars in the ME; second by targeting and taking out the networks of people traffickers; and third by not giving these fantastic social benefits to migrants. But the EU also does not care cause they dump the migrants on the population of Europe so they are stuck with them and have to pay more taxes to fund all of it.

If you really analyze this statement, you see just one example of how pathetic our president is and the blood that is on his hands:

"the Obama Administration’s Libyan bombing campaign in 2011 was part of a broader program to bring sarin gas from Libya to the al-Nusra Front in Syria, in order to help produce a gas-attack upon civilians, which the U.S. Administration could then blame upon Assad, as being an excuse to bomb there just as Obama had already so successfully done in Libya"

Imagine all the innocent civilians killed in Obama's Libyan bombing campaign so he could get sarin gas for a gas attack on innocent civilians, many of them children, in Syria.  Remember the pictures?  Does our president not know that he will burn in hell for this? There is such a thing as the wrath of God.  Gerald Celente says the economy will crash by the end of the year.  All I got to say is, like Jefferson, "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice will not slumber forever."
