Zionist paranoia-mongering propaganda attack on Putin's clever suggestion
Re: "Why Putin Suggested Azerbaijan"
"One Cold War is Enough" (5 min)
Who penned the amusing editorial (below after this commentary) in one of the southwest US's largest newspapers rife with the theme of historical revisionism and paranoia while ignoring President Bush's boldly stated dictatorial aspiration?
No name, just hiding behind the editorial like the cowards they are. Arizona Republic is owned by $7 billion+ profit a year Gannett Company, which also own another Soviet-era PRAVDA-style Zionist propaganda paper USA Today.
It's why I have never bought Arizona Republic during the two years of my residence and never will. Same with USA Today which I find nauseating. Both papers shill for the elite's plan of design by constant deception of the reading public regarding domestic and global politics on the wars, corruption, et cetera. I peruse the newspapers for entertainment & art news once in a while at the library.
Yes, Putin may not be a good "democrat" -- he's probably an aspiring autocrat if he had the power given to him not seen since the evilly brutal reign of Stalin. But let's not forget American's consistent pattern of "black pot calls kettle black" hypocrisy as the editorial demonstrate with the vapidity of a biased right-wing ultra-nationalist historian who saw only noble and righteous post-Reagan America versus the evil, decadent post-Soviet Russia in the current period of a fable called "War on Terror".
Those who consider George W Bush and Dick Cheney as the saints of the free world are deluded and perhaps dangerous to the notion of press freedom in representing the "truth". The majority of American-bred readers are naturally biased as xenophobic jingos because they are cheerfully ignorant of the complex history of the Cold War and the aftermath of the collapse of the USSR wrongly attributed to Reagan/Bush's role in outspending the rival in terms of military budget, development and exercise.
And the result is USA is now several trillion dollars in national debt due to the bloated budget overruns and fiscal irresponsibility managing the war games (real and imagined) and providing corporate welfare.
This exactly as in the last days of his elective presidential reign Eisenhower warned in the televised 1961 farewell address when he uttered these relevant words:
As we peer into society's future, we – you and I, and our government – must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without asking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow.
It's no wonder Hollywood movies love to paint the Russians as evil bad guys (Die Hard, Rambo III) while Americans are the world's saviors - it's the nature of well-financed Zionist propaganda machine that keep the American public bellicose and uninformed as the herd of sheep.
If they ever have to face the truth on the complicated facts of international affairs between USA and USSR during the 'War on Terror,' now would be the time to shear the wools.
It is interesting to recollect that USSR was in a very solid relationship with USA after 9-11, until Bush/Cheney betrayed Putin with the dissolution of Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty which Putin considers a grave mistake.
Where the editors, columnists and propagandists claim Russia will start Cold War II, it is USA that begun the process of alienating the world with its billion-dollar-in-black-hole fantasy of a super-complex international missile program.

Six years ago, President Bush looked at Russian President Vladimir Putin, famously got "a sense of his soul," and concluded he liked what he saw.
The American president may be in need of an existential eye exam.
To most observers, the world seems well stocked with looming nuclear crises. Nuclear North Korea is shaking the political dynamics of the Pacific Rim. Near-nuclear Iran is playing a game of messianic confrontation in the Middle East. And Pakistan is perhaps one assassin's bullet short of following in Iran's footsteps. Did the world really need Russia's Putin to threaten a renewed Cold War?
On the eve of the Group of Eight industrial nations summit in Heiligendamm, Germany this week, Putin did just that. He threatened to realign nuclear-tipped missiles toward Europe if the United States persisted in building anti-missile systems in Poland and intercept-radar systems in the Czech Republic.
Putin moved on Thursday to defuse the crisis he instigated, offering to share a radar site in Azerbaijan with the U.S. as an alternative to the Czech site. According to National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, the president thought the Russian's offer was "interesting" and promised to give it serious consideration.
Whatever transpires, it should not be lost that Putin's first instinct was Mafioso in nature: He vowed to put a gun to the head of Europe.
Russia is a tortured nation. The average life expectancy for men fell below 59 years in 2003. In the 10 years immediately following the fall of the Berlin Wall, a rapidly contracting Russian economy lost 45 percent of its gross domestic product, a collapse worse than the U.S.'s Great Depression. Official Soviet corruption largely has been replaced by an even worse system: widespread underworld malevolence. Without an artificial boost of unprecedented oil prices worldwide, the Russian economy would be a wreck.
Politically, the nation is deteriorating, too. Under the KGB-trained Putin, the independent Russian media has been shut down or intimidated into silence. Dissenters have been spectacularly murdered, demonstrators beaten down, the economy slowly nationalized and the Russian legislature, the State Duma, inexorably made irrelevant.
From Putin's perspective, the carriers of Russia's ailments dwell in the West.
Three former Soviet provinces - Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia - are now behind the Western military umbrella that is NATO. Western political activists have successfully fostered real democracy in the former Soviet Ukraine and Georgia. And, now, Bush and the Europeans have - to Putin's way of thinking - resurrected the Cold War with their plans to erect barriers to the anticipated nuclear missiles of Iran.
And, so, Putin has made the concerns of Russia the primary focus of the G8 summit. At a bizarrely Stalinesque dinner meeting with a group of Western and Japanese journalists earlier this month, Putin laid out a litany of complaints against the Western democracies. And, with jaw-dropping seriousness, declared himself not just a "democrat," but the world's sole remaining democrat.
Whatever Bush saw in that man in 2001, it was not the soul of a democrat.
The lingering irony of President Putin's bellicosity is that Europeans and the Bush administration now have a common sense of purpose, at long last. They are united in their wariness of Putin's Russia.
That's the good news. The bad news is that it took the unmasked soul of Vladimir Putin to bring them together.
Most people in Arizona refer to the main Phoenix newspaper as the Arizona Repulsive.
The Repulsive is childish, pro-Zionist, and not fit to line one’s birdcage. It pines for the simple days of white hats & black hats, cowboys & Indians, “patriots” & “Commies.” It longs for another cold war. It adores Israel.
The only people who read it are morons and the elderly.
Fortunately it is dying. I predict that Gannet will eventually sell it.
Interesting read on the internal politics of Gannett/Arizona Republic and its trying to regain the declining circulation numbers...
It's a Wrap
Can the Web save Arizona's largest daily newspaper?
Forget about Arizona Republic.
Even it have the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Steven Benson who is a rabid gun-ban advocate. He was obnoxious in an email reply to my criticism of his particular cartoon implying the contempt of firearm rights in lawful possession across the broad after VT tragedy.
