THE 100 YEAR WAR: CONTINUING U.S. ATTEMPTS TO DESTROY RUSSIA

August 20, 2022 By J. Michael Springmann

The Beginning.  “I come from the South and I know what war is, for I have seen its terrible wreckage and ruin. It is easy for me as President to declare war. I do not have to fight, and neither do the gentlemen on the Hill who now clamor for it. It is some poor farmer’s boy, or the son of some poor widow – who will have to do the fighting and dying.”  Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, 1913-1921.

Woodrow Wilson

So much for politicians’ lies.

Here’s the reality.  In July 1918, Peace-Loving Democrat Woodrow Wilson intervened in what was becoming the U.S.S.R.—against the Bolsheviks.  He marched 13,000 U.S. soldiers into the country:  5,000 men to Archangel and 8,000 to Vladivostok.  His intent?  To support the 70,000 fighting men of the Czechoslovak Legion, former war prisoners, who were combating the Communists in Siberia.  He also asserted that the Americans would aid the Russians with their own “self-government or self-defense.”  Wilson-speak for intervention in the on-going civil war on behalf of the White Russians battling the Red Russians.

But the Americans weren’t alone.  The British Empire was there as well:  more than 57,000 Tommies were fighting the Communists alongside nearly 5,000 Canadians. By the end of 1919, most foreign soldiers had left the newly-established Soviet union.

And Then.  At the end of World War II, the U.S. Army’s CounterIntelligence Corps began making contact with dissidents from the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, an integral part of the Soviet Union, an area about the size of Texas, roughly 600,000 square kilometers/230,000 square miles.  These were not disgruntled people, dissatisfied with war-time changes.  They were Nazis, Nazi collaborators, as well as murderers, war criminals, and human rights violators.  Their leaders were Stepan Bandera and Mykola Lebed.  The Army later handed these people off to the Central Intelligence Agency (and its predecessors, the Office of Strategic Services, OSS, and the Strategic Services Unit, SSU).

Bandera was an uncompromising leader of the militant, terrorist branch of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), Bandera became a Nazi collaborator who lived with his deputies under German protection after World War II began.  In preparation for the attack on the U.S.S.R., the Nazis recruited Bandera’s followers to act as Ukrainian-speaking policemen and to serve in two Ukrainian volunteer army battalions.  By working with the Nazis, Bandera hoped to free the Ukraine from Soviet rule and establish his own government there.  An independent Ukraine, Bandera promised, would remain friendly to Germany.  Bandera’s people never disagreed with the Nazis’ Jewish policy there, which eventually killed over 1.5 million Ukrainian Jews.

On January 22, 2010 Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko honored Stepan Bandera by posthumously bestowing on him the state honor, “Hero of the Ukraine.”

Stepan Bandera

Mykola Lebed was no statesman, either.  He was a close associate of Bandera and was his intelligence chief. Lebed had proposed “cleans[ing] the entire revolutionary territory of the Polish population,” so that a resurgent Polish state would not claim the Ukraine as in 1918. Ukrainians serving as auxiliary policemen for the Germans now joined the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).  “Bandera men [and Lebed’s] … are not discriminating about who they kill; they are gunning down the populations of entire villages.… Since there are hardly any Jews left to kill, the Bandera gangs have turned on the Poles. They are Collaborators literally hacking Poles to pieces. Every day … you can see the bodies of Poles, with wires around their necks, floating down the river Bug.” On a single day, July 11, 1943, the UPA attacked some 80 localities killing perhaps 10,000 Poles.

CIA handlers pointed to Lebed’s “cunning character,” his “relations with the Gestapo and … Gestapo training,” and that he was “a very ruthless operator.”  A CounterIntelligence Corps report from July 1947 cited sources that called Lebed a “well-known sadist and collaborator of the Germans.”

In the mid-1930s, Bandera and Lebed participated in the murder of the Polish Interior Minister Bronislaw Pieracki.  Tried and jailed, they escaped when Nazi Germany invaded Poland.

Today, Ukrainian school children get their Nazism in class, where they sing a hymn to “Mother Ukraine and Father Bandera”.

Mykola Lebed

Enter the Lack of Intelligence Agency.  From 1946 to 1953, American intelligence, as part of Operation AERODYNAMIC, threw saboteurs from the ranks of extremists into the territory of the Soviet Ukraine, but, once on Soviet territory, most of the saboteurs disappeared without a trace. It turns out that the KGB knew about the operation and conducted a radio game with the CIA as part of the counter-operation “Link”.

Frank Wisner, who conceived and ran AERODYNAMIC, had been head of the Office of Policy Coordination (covert operations and the Clandestine Service), allegedly used his son’s shotgun to kill himself after many years of instability.  He had had a mental breakdown in 1958, retired in 1962, and died in 1965.  He coined the term Mighty Wurlitzer to describe the CIA’s propaganda machine.  (The Wurlitzer was a powerful organ used in theaters and concert halls to set the mood and influence people’s attitudes)

Fearing the increasing possibility of general war, the CIA decided to refuse armed support for Ukrainian nationalist, phasing out the aggressive actions of AERODYNAMIC.

Beginning in 1953 AERODYNAMIC began to operate through a Ukrainian study group under Lebed’s leadership in New York under CIA auspices, which collected Ukrainian literature and history and produced Ukrainian nationalist newspapers, bulletins, radio programming, and books for distribution in the Ukraine. In 1956 this group was formally incorporated as the non-profit Prolog Research and Publishing Association. It allowed the CIA to funnel funds as ostensible private donations without taxable footprints. To avoid nosey New York State authorities, the CIA turned Prolog into a for-profit enterprise called Prolog Research Corporation, which ostensibly received private contracts.

Prolog recruited and paid Ukrainian émigré writers who were generally unaware that they worked in a CIA-controlled operation.  These activities encouraged Ukrainian nationalism, strengthened Ukrainian resistance, and provided an alternative to Soviet media. In 1957 alone, with CIA support, Prolog broadcast 1,200 radio programs totaling 70 hours per month and distributed 200,000 newspapers and 5,000 pamphlets. In the years following, Prolog distributed books by nationalist Collaborators, Ukrainian writers and poets.

QR/PLUMB grew out of AERODYAMIC & QR/DYNAMIC (which had provided support for Prolog).  During the period of the active dissident movement in the Soviet Union, QRPLUMB conducted one of the most effective covert operations supported by the Agency. It provided material and moral support to active Ukrainian dissidents, established and maintained personal contact with many of their key leaders; exfiltrated numerous dissident samizdat works and published them abroad for publicity and especially for return infiltration into the Soviet Ukraine; publicized dissident causes in the free world (via publications, broadcasting, international conferences/fora); and conducted selected political actions targeted on the Soviet Ukraine.

And it Gets Better.  The next phase of the covert war against Russia, whether it was the Soviet state or the newer Russian Federation, was moving CIA officials into the Ukraine.  Prior to the 2014 coup, many very experienced ex-CIA officers visited the Ukraine to train local organizations and people as well as setting up special NGOs and funds.  Among them were Franklin D. Lindsay (Frank Wisner’s former deputy); Henry Crumpton (CIA, FBI, State Department Ambassador).  Other participants were the CIA Chief of Station in Kiev, Mark Davidson (now retired) and the MI6 Kiev Head of Station, Ian Lunt, awarded the OBE.  (He was later Head of Station in Moscow.)

As the Canadian newsmagazine Canadian Dimension noted, Ukraine’s political divisions exploded into the limelight with the Orange Revolution. In 2004, Western-backed civil society groups protested a presidential election in which Viktor Yanukovich officially garnered 49.4 percent of the second-round vote while his rival, Viktor Yushchenko, earned 46.7 percent. Two weeks of protests against the results spurred the Supreme Court to call for a rerun of the vote. In an article titled “US campaign behind the turmoil in Kiev,” The Guardian reported that the Orange Revolution was “an American creation, a sophisticated and brilliantly conceived exercise in western branding and mass marketing,” which included “US consultancies, pollsters, diplomats, the two big American parties and US non-government organisations.”  According to noted film director Oliver Stone, quoted in BuzzFeed, the CIA had laid the groundwork for the 2014 coup.  Stone compared the Maidan protests, which started in late 2013 as part of a backlash to Yanukovych’s pro-Russian, anti-European policies and eventually led to his overthrow, to protest incidents in Venezuela in 2002 and earlier this year. “Create enough chaos, as the CIA did in Iran ’53, Chile ’73, and countless other coups, and the legitimate Government can be toppled,” Stone wrote. “It’s America’s soft power technique called ‘Regime Change 101.'”

In Stone’s telling, the deal that Yanukovych agreed to that would keep him in power was tossed aside “when well-armed, neo-Nazi radicals forced Yanukovych to flee the country with repeated assassination attempts. By the next day, a new pro-Western government was established and immediately recognized by the US (as in the Chavez 2002 coup).”

Following that revolution, Covert Action Magazine stated “Censored reports from the Donbass in Eastern Ukraine, however, make [it] clear that the war was started eight years ago by Ukraine–after its legitimate government was overthrown in a U.S.-backed coup (known as the Maidan revolution), and the Donetsk and Luhansk provinces voted to secede.”  Patrick Lancaster, a video journalist, “…posted [a tape] on March 10 [which] shows how people living on the edge of Donetsk, one kilometer from the Ukrainian position in Peski, have been subjected to constant shelling by the Ukrainian military over the last eight years and have had to survive living underground in bomb shelters…”

Continuing, Covert Action noted:

“According to Danya, a young man Lancaster interviewed, the Ukrainian army did not have exact targets but “just shoots and don’t care where it lands.

Another woman said that the targets that were hit “were not new targets. In 2014, they shelled here too. Exactly in this place. The same coordinates. Torturing us all these eight years.”

Fighting back tears, the woman continued: “They shoot and shoot and we still stay in our houses, with our children, with dogs…the children stay at home, in basements, running through broken windows, do not go to school, the whole day they sit at home. And I come from work now, I barely managed to work…how can we live in such conditions? It’s been war here since 2014 and we haven’t left. And there’s no end, and no truth from anybody. They shoot with no break. In the daytime, in the morning, in the night, in the evening with no stop.”

Lancaster was taken into a cellar where families had been living for the last eight years. A woman told him that her daughter had been born on June 26, 2014, and that the war began in her village on July 19. She has “now been sitting here for over 7 years without leaving, a real child of war.”

Prior to Russia’s 2022 de-Nazification efforts, the Ukrainian government had murdered roughly 14,000 ethnic Russians in the Donbass.  Manuel Ochsenreiter, the German journalist, prior to his mysterious death in Moscow, had reported extensively on Ukrainian actions in Lugansk and Donetsk.

The Proxy Wars.

Afghanistan.  In 1979, the Soviets supported the Communist government in Kabul, the capital.  The CIA advocated secret American backing for Afghans resisting this régime.  The boys in Langley sold the idea to President Jimmy Carter (D-Ga.) and his national security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski.  The plan was to send weapons to the opposition through Pakistan using, inter alia, Saudi money.  Carter authorized $500,00 in “non-lethal aid” to the insurgents.  Brzezinski allegedly sent a note to the president asserting that this would provoke direct intervention by the U.S.S.R.  Things went downhill from there, with the Soviets marching into the country on December 24, 1979.  The intent was to replace an unmanageable but pro-U.S.S.R. government with a more flexible one.  Over the next few years, the first tranche of  $500,000 jumped to tens of millions of dollars and then to $3 billion in the 1980s.  Besides money, the U.S. government provided thousands of Stinger anti-aircraft missiles.  Carter’s and his successor Ronald Reagan’s government also recruited and financed terrorists to fight the Soviet Union’s forces.  These later became the name-changing Al-Qaeda, rebranded later as ISIL or IS, also directed from Washington.

In 1986, the CIA and Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service began moving these fanatics across the Amu Darya River from Afghanistan into the Muslim Soviet Socialist Republics.  The goal was to sow fear and destruction throughout the U.S.S.R., hopefully splitting the country apart, thus eliminating Reagan’s “Evil Empire”.

But what was the cost?  Besides creating Islamic terrorism, Carter’s and Reagan’s actions, according to the Atlantic, resulted in an estimated one million civilians killed, as well as 90,000 Mujahideen fighters, 18,000 Afghan troops, and 14,500 Soviet soldiers.  Carefully manipulated international opinion condemned not the U.S. but the Soviet Union, leading to a boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics and an embargo on grain and high technology equipment sent to the U.S.S.R.

(For more detail, see Visas for Al Qaeda:  CIA Handouts That Rocked The World.  J. Michael Springmann; Daena Publications LLC; Washington, D.C. 2014.).

The Ukraine.  Again drawing from its successful playbook against the Soviet Union/Russian Federation, Washington, D.C. and its subservient European states, including NATO and European Union members, began supporting, politically and militarily, a series of Ukrainian governments increasingly hostile to Russia.  Ignoring the 14,000 dead Russians murdered in the Donbass, America and its puppet states loudly denounced the Russian Federation as repressive and repulsive, even accusing it of a Ukrainian crime, the shoot-down of a Malaysian airliner flying through hostile airspace.

Using NATO, the United States openly threatened Russia.  Despite a 1989 President George H.W. Bush pledge to Mikhail Gorbachev, General Secretary of the Soviet Communist party, not to expand the Alliance “…one inch to the east”, nevertheless, the organization steadily advanced to the Russian frontier.  Now, in 2022, NATO stretches from the Baltic to the Balkans.  Member countries host many U.S. bases.  Additionally, Russia is ringed with many more American military centers.  U.S. warships routinely sail into or near Russian territorial waters while Yankee warplanes (and those of NATO countries, especially Britain) fly into Russian airspace.

NATO MEMBER FLAGS

Following NATO’s expansion and provocative air and naval incursions, along with years of Western training Ukrainian forces in service to a government that reveres Nazis and includes Nazi elements among its army, such as the Azov Battalion, Russia decided to cancel the threat.  In February 2022, it moved its air force and army into the Ukraine.

Predictably, the U.S., which had been opposing Russian-built gas pipelines into Europe, slapped economic, trade, and financial sanctions on the country.  America then pressured its European puppet states to do the same.  Unfortunately, they complied, triggering energy shortages and exploding inflation in countries already hard hit by the Yankee Covid-19 bioweapon.

Unfortunately for the master planners in the Biden Administration, this had no effect on the Russian economy.

However, it’s having an effect on the U.S. economy.  With rising unemployment, no national healthcare, falling housing starts, and galloping inflation, Biden’s $9 billion in military aid and another $50 billion in financial support are going down the drain to a lost cause.  The Europeans have ploughed nearly €16 billion into a failing state.

Worse, in an effort to shore up the Ukraine’s collapsing military, America and Europe are shipping heavy weapons from their own stocks to President Zelensky’s Nazified government.  This nonsense has reached the point where European and American armed forces are beginning to complain that their own military preparedness is being harmed. Still worse, are the fears that the armaments will not stay in the Ukraine but end up elsewhere, doing still more harm to peaceful states.  There are already press reports that these weapons are being sold on the black market.

Then there is the al-Qaeda precedent.  Zelensky has created an International Legion of Territorial Defense, supposedly recruiting 20,000 fighters from 52 countries, including from Israel’s IDF. Many of these have been illegally enlisted in the United States through its embassy on M Street N.W. in Washington, D.C.  Having sought out men with military experience or simply those with a will to fight, will Zelensky keep them in the Ukraine with offers of land and funds?  Or will these mercenaries move on to the next conflict?  Or will they, having been combat-hardened, be used by the Americans to ignite a war somewhere else?

Finally, what of the gentlemen of the press?  They have been cheerleading the war against the Russian federation, just as they did in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, and Libya.  Newspapers, magazines, radio, and television shamefully and shamelessly promote the absolutely insane concept that the Ukraine is winning the war against Russia which the U.S. had provoked.  In Europe, the Russian news network RT is banned in Britain and Germany.  Facebook and Twitter keep up the charade, with Twitter banning Russian comments questioning the origin of the Covid bioweapon.

Does this prove that Operation Mockingbird, the CIA’s 1950s-era program to manipulate the American news media and its reporters with planted stories and pressure to print them, is still running?

And none of the presstitutes question the concept that a deliberate, coordinated attack on Russia might well result in nuclear war, annihilating the planet.  Already, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has placed the hands of the Doomsday Clock at 90 seconds to Midnight.  They were never that close, even in the first Cold War.

But, in the end, it is the Ukraine which will pay the heaviest price.  While American soldiers are operating there and British special forces are protecting the irrational Zelensky, the country is being destroyed.  Its cities and infrastructure are in ruins, all because the Yankees want to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.

THE UKRAINE: A TALE OF TWO REALITIES

March 28, 2022 By J. Michael Springmann

Fairy Tales: A Beautiful Collection of Favorite Fairy Tales (Hardcover  Storybook Treasury): Parragon Books: 9781680524635: Amazon.com: Books

 

The Beginning.  Being ‘satiably curious like the Elephant’s Child, I began to wonder about the Russian police action in the Ukraine.  The film V for Vendetta noted that it’s the government’s job to manufacture the news while it’s the media’s job to report it.  Or, as noted musician and political thinker Gilad Atzmon recently commented, we read the 4th Estate’s comments to learn what is not happening.

For example, The Washington Post daily fills its pages with lots of ink about the failed Russian “invasion” of the Ukraine.  Russian armed forces have run out of men and materiel.  Its officers are being assassinated by valiant Ukrainian soldiers.  The entire world reviles the brutal baby killers and mass murderers of the Russian Federation.

That’s one reality.

Another is historical and based on something other than fantasy.

Background.  In 2014, US President Barak Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Assistant Secretary for European Affairs Victoria Nuland worked with the American Central Intelligence Agency to overthrow the Ukraine’s legitimate government.  Why?  The Ukraine favored a more advantageous economic deal with the Russian Federation, rather than the one the European Union (EU) offered.

The inept, Neo-Nazi government the US put in place made a mess of the Ukraine’s economy and began a war against the ethnic Russians of the eastern Donbass Region (Donetsk and Lugansk).  Killing roughly 14,000 people, displacing 1.2 million others, in these now-independent areas, successive governments led by candy-king Poroshenko and high-heel wearing comedian/actor Volodymyr Zelensky flatly refused to implement the Minsk Agreement.  Basically, this accord included a ceasefire, withdrawal of heavy weapons, release of prisoners of war, reform in the Ukraine granting self-government to certain areas of the Donbass, and restoring control of the state border to the Ukrainian government.

Fed up with failed efforts to get the international community to recognize the Ukraine’s war crimes in the Donbass, Russian President Vladimir Putin then looked to what the United States and its creature NATO were doing in the area.  In1990, James Baker, then US Secretary of State, and President George H.W. Bush reassured the Soviet government that NATO would not move one inch to the east.  Yet, NATO, originally a defensive alliance, added more members directly abutting the Russian frontier.  This included countries such as Poland and the Baltic States, with historical antipathies to Russia and its predecessor governments.  NATO also participated in American wars half a world away, such as in Afghanistan.

The Ukraine wanted to join NATO as well.  Moreover, it appeared to be planning another attack on the Donbass.  Putin, apparently fearing a renewed effort to destroy the Russian State, its culture, and its religion, ordered his armed forces into the Ukraine to preserve Donetsk and Lugansk as well as to put an end to the country’s Neo-Nazi government.

The Reality.  While the Post and other US and European media touted the ferocious fight against a weakened Russian government and its failing, incompetent armed forces, they seemed to omit some glaring problems that perspicacious folk twigged to.  The fictional stories the media put out were, as the New York Times commented, designed to buck up morale amongst the Ukrainians.  Some of the tales, told by “responsible” journalists included the “Ghost Fighter of Kiev”, who supposedly shot down a good bit of the Russian air force.  However, if the Ukrainian armed forces were so good, why did they need millions of dollars of anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons from NATO countries?  And why was the Ukrainian government recruiting a Foreign Legion to bolster its army’s ranks?

Mercenaries.  Deciding that the mainstream media was hiding some important information, I went directly to the source, the Ukrainian Embassy here in Washington, D.C.  Failing repeatedly to make contact by telephone, I emailed its Press Secretary, Volodymyr Rizichenko, asking a few pertinent, non-controversial questions:

Mr. Riznichenko:

The Embassy’s phone is constantly busy.  I’m drafting an article for publication about the subject matter.  [Ukraine’s Recruiting of Foreigners]

I’d like you to help me follow-up on a March 21 Washington Post story about volunteer foreign fighters.  Some of the details are kind of sketchy and you might be able to flesh out some of the missing information.

  1. How many American citizens or permanent residents have contacted your Embassy about going to fight for your country?
  2. Do they reach out to your Embassy first or do they go to the website FightforUA.org?
  3. What sort of background do they have?  E.g., none or prior military experience, policemen, active-duty soldiers, sailors, airmen?  And what prompts them to volunteer?
  4. If they don’t meet your army’s requirements, what other militias can they apply to join?
  5. What are these militias like?  Only the Azov Battalion seems to pop up.  There must be others.
  6. What requirements do the militias have for volunteers?
  7. Regarding total volunteers, the numbers seem to be up and down, widely differing in total.  Can you give me a good estimate, including by country?

Many thanks for your help.

Mike Springmann

As of this writing, I have received no response.  Unfortunately, I posed the same questions to the Russian Press Office.  And also received no response, following a question of “Why do you think we know more?”

The Law.  It’s pretty clear:

18 U.S. Code § 960 – Expedition against friendly nation

Whoever, within the United States, knowingly begins or sets on foot or provides or prepares a means for or furnishes the money for, or takes part in, any military or naval expedition or enterprise to be carried on from thence against the territory or dominion of any foreign prince or state, or of any colony, district, or people with whom the United States is at peace, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

As far as I know, the United States Congress has not declared war against the Russian Federation.  Moreover, it would appear to be a breach of diplomacy for a foreign state to recruit soldiers within this country for war against a Power at peace with America.

The U.S. Department of State notes that, while it may be possible for a US citizen to go abroad to fight for a foreign power, recruitment or hiring in the United States may be a violation of the law.  Citing Wiborg v. U.S., 163 U.S.632 (1896).  N.B., this was tied to a filibustering expedition against Spanish Cuba and the decision should be seen in that light–and the subsequent war against Spain in 1898.

The State Department notes that prosecution of such persons is the responsibility of the Justice Department.  (The U.S. Attorney General Garland is a Jew, the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, and the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland are all Jews, as are the President of the Ukraine Zelensky, and its Prime Minister Groysman.  Cousins protecting Cousins?)

The Mercenaries.  According to a March 6, 2022 Jerusalem Post article, Zelensky, whose army includes the Neo-Nazi, white supremacist Azoz Battalion, has recruited some 16,000 foreigners to serve in its war against the Donbass and Russia.  No details, of course, were available on the nationalities of these people, whom the Russian government asserted were not subject to the laws of war as legitimate combatants.  Naturally, “The UK, Latvia, and the Canadian government have all stated that they will allow the enlistment of citizens to the legion.”

In an undated article in Deutsche Welle (Germany’s state-owned international broadcasting service), the organization claimed “Ukraine’s bid to recruit fighters from Africa sparks uproar:  Nigeria, Senegal and Algeria have criticized Ukraine’s efforts to enlist international fighters as it resists the Russian invasion. Analysts say those who have responded to the call need to reconsider.”

Definition. West Point’s Lieber Institute says this:

In 1977, the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions (AP I) significantly changed the law for mercenaries. AP I, Article 47 begins by withholding from a mercenary “the right to be a combatant or a prisoner of war.” It defines a mercenary as any person who meets six criteria, specifically any person who:

  1. a) is specially recruited locally or abroad in order to fight in an armed conflict;
  2. b) does, in fact, take a direct part in the hostilities;
  3. c) is motivated to take part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain and, in fact, is promised, by or on behalf of a Party to the conflict, material compensation substantially in excess of that promised or paid to combatants of similar ranks and functions in the armed forces of that Party;
  4. d) is neither a national of a Party to the conflict nor a resident of territory controlled by a Party to the conflict;
  5. e) is not a member of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict; and
  6. f) has not been sent by a State which is not a Party to the conflict on official duty as a member of its armed forces.

Furthermore, the article states:

…Ukraine [is a] part[y] to AP I. Therefore, [it] is bound by Article 47 in the current armed conflict. Additionally, Ukraine is a party to the 1989 International Convention Against the Recruitment, Use, Financing, and Training of Mercenaries. The 1989 Convention creates a criminal law regime for mercenarism—it identifies and defines criminal offenses, establishes rules of jurisdiction, and obligates enforcement measures. Furthermore, Article 1 of the 1989 Convention expands the AP I, Article 47 definition of “mercenary” by removing the condition that a mercenary actually take part in hostilities. Unlike AP I, the 1989 Convention criminalizes direct participation in hostilities by any person who meets the Article 1 definition.

So.  On March 3, 2022, The Middle East Eye wrote, in part apropos of the Ukraine:

However, sources told Middle East Eye that there are also private military contractors with significant war experience among the volunteers. The sources said some of the private contractors had arrived in the country for extraction, evacuation and defence purposes having been hired by private companies.

A job advertisement that appeared this week on Silent Professionals, a listing website for defence and private security jobs, is looking for multiple “extraction and protective agents” to conduct evacuation operations of individuals and families throughout Ukraine’s countryside and major cities.

“Employer is a US-based corporation. Both male and female agents are welcome to apply,” the advertisement says.

“Only highly experienced candidates who possess at least 5+ years of military experience in this region of Europe will be considered for this role.”

The ad says the payment would be $1,000-2,000 per day and a bonus will be available after the completion of the operation.

Amazing that this is out, without any detail on numbers of mercenaries and their citizenship included.

Yeni Safak, a Turkish news service, wrote on March 4, 2022:

“The Russian Defense Ministry accused the West on Thursday of sending mercenaries to Ukraine to support the Ukrainian armed forces.

At a daily briefing in Moscow, ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said the employees of private military companies raid Russia’s military convoy, attack aviation, using US Javelin and UK NLOW anti-tank missiles and a man-portable air-defense system Stinger, and other weapons, supplied by the West.

Meanwhile, Konashenkov said the US intelligence launched a mass campaign to recruit more mercenaries.

Great Britain, Denmark, Latvia, Poland, and Croatia legally authorized their citizens to take part in the hostilities in Ukraine, while France plans to send ethnic Ukrainians serving in its foreign legion to Ukraine as well, he continued.

“According to Zelenskyy, about 16,000 foreign mercenaries are expected to arrive in Ukraine in addition to those already available to compensate for the crushing military failures of the Ukrainian security forces. A visa-free regime is officially introduced for them,” he noted.

“Last week, about 200 troops arrived in Ukraine from Croatia, they joined one of the Nazi battalions,” Konashenkov added.

It’s certainly good to know that the “intelligence” services are continuing to seek the end of the Russian Federation.  The Washington Post certainly won’t report this.  However, Veterans Today, on March 4, 2022, recounted that Erik Prince of name-changing Blackwater infamy, traveled to Kiev to confer with Ukrainian officials.  However, before his secret travel to the Ukraine, Prince consulted with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Director National Intelligence Avril Haines (another of the Cousins).

So, Who Are We Really Dealing With?  Germany’s Deutsche Welle noted that the Azov Battalion is defending Mariupol, a city where the opera house, allegedly filled with refugees, mysteriously exploded—without any visible casualties.

The Azovs are, as Al Jazeera noted in a March1, 2022 piece, a far-right, neo-Nazi group that is part of the Ukrainian Army, is a street militia, and is a political party.  They coat their bullets in pig fat to use against any Muslims fighting in the Russian army.  They are white supremacists and ultra-nationalists.  Nazi symbols and SS regalia are part of their uniforms.  They display the Wolfsangel, resembling a swastika, on a yellow background.

Knowing the kinds of people recruited, the Jewish Telegraph Agency wrote on February 27, 2022, that the Ukraine’s Embassy in “Israel” tried to enlist its citizens to fight the Russians.

The New York Jewish newspaper The Forward commented:  The very first thing Ukrainians see as they walk into Poland at the Medyka checkpoint is a large Israeli flag. Two, actually – one pinned to the army-green tent of the Jewish Agency, another waving on a pole above the tent of the emergency-medical group Hatzolah Without Borders. Asked how they got such prime real estate, the men running these operations hoisted their elbows and shrugged, “We’re Israeli.”

So, There You Have It, Dear Reader.  The United States and the European Union are working with Zionists, Neo-Nazis, and extremists of all sorts to destroy Russia.  They are violating their own laws as well as international law.  Why?  Because Russia, like the now-destroyed Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria, did not always do or think the way the Western states desired.  In fact, at times, they opposed the Western militarist, capitalist, and globalist viewpoint as hazardous to their national existence.

And Joseph Robinete Biden, Jr. called for the removal of Russian President Putin on March 26, 2022.  Wouldn’t it be better for the entire world if Joe Biden found a new line of work?  Before one of the Stinger anti-aircraft missiles hits his own plane or a civilian airliner?

CIVILITY? NOT AT THE AMERICAN IMMIGRATION LAWYERS ASSOCIATION!

January 20, 2022 By J. Michael Springmann

Huh?  The Fantasy.  The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) has a civility code.  AILA – AILA Civility Code).  Inter alia, it states:

  1. I will conduct myself in a professional and civil manner at all times when engaged in AILA-related activities and communications, including treating AILA members, staff, and the public with civility.
  2. I will not use language that is demeaning, abusive, or hostile…
  3. I will not knowingly misrepresent, mischaracterize, or misquote information in seeking to advance any point of view….

Intervention The AILA Membership Committee reserves the right to intervene in response to violations of The Rules both sua sponte and following a complaint. Complaints may be filed by any AILA member or staff member and will be handled with low-range or high-range interventions, depending on the location and nature of the violation…

The Reality.  1.  On 19 December 2021, I filed a civility complaint with AILA against Ava Benach, a local Washington, D.C. attorney.  Ava, for unknown reasons, took umbrage at my questioning the requirement that applicants for Legal Permanent Residence are now required to be “vaccinated” against Covid-19—while the staggering number of illegal aliens President Joe Biden has let loose in the U.S. are not.  (104,000 illegals—who were caught in 2021—were given notices to appear before an immigration field office.  Of that number, 48,000 have disappeared.  More than 54,000 others ignored the requirement to report to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.  (Illegal aliens vanish after being released into US — RT World News).

Benach, in writing to the 800 member AILA Washington, D.C. Listserve about me, said on 12 October 2021:

 I cannot believe that I am having this conversation on an AILA listserve.  I cannot understand how anyone practicing immigration law can call people “illegals” and make such an idiotic remark as if people at the border are not subject to grounds of inadmissibility.

I don’t know what your practice is like but I can tell that you barely tolerate a wide portion of immigrants and I hope that you retire or find a new line of work before too long. 

Perhaps I am biased, but I certainly believe the foregoing remarks are:  unprofessional, uncivil, demeaning, abusive or hostile.  Just like the AILA Civility Code says.

Furthermore, in an effort to misrepresent, mischaracterize, and misquote information in seeking to advance any point of view, just like the Code says, Benach broadcast to the 800 members on the Washington, D.C. AILA Listseve:

I find that when I have tricky legal issues on immigration issues, I consult these books:

https://www.amazon.com/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3AJ.+Michael+Springmann&s=relevancerank&text=J.+Michael+Springmann&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1

The quoted link connects to my two books on the American government’s creation of Islamic terrorism (Visas for aal Qaeda:  CIA Handouts That Rocked the World and the origin and channeling of the migrant wave that struck Europe in 2015, Goodbye, Europe?  Hello, Chaos?  Merkel’s Migrant Bomb).

  1. Simultaneously, I also complained about another AILA member: Margaret Stock (Lt. Col., USA, ret’d), an immigration attorney in Alaska.  She wrote to the 800 member AILA DC Listserve (which I, unfortunately, must quote nearly in full):

Margaret Stock–File Photo

I was curious about Mr. Springmann’s blog, so I read it.  

 In the blog, Mr. Springmann pitches books he wrote on immigration policy as his source for answering questions about US immigration law. That is a “turnoff” because the book titles indicate that they aren’t useful for a US immigration law practitioner.  He then complains in the blog that nobody has answered his questions on the AILA DC listserve.  After seeing this particular complaint, I looked at the two questions that he posted in the time that I’ve been a chapter member. They are not questions that I would have answered, and it’s not because I’m engaged in any conspiracy to ignore them. 

 Rather . . . The questions convey the impression that Mr. Springmann is unfamiliar with basic US immigration law, as well as the practicalities of practicing law generally. I felt that if I answered the questions, I was going to be taking on the task of being an ongoing mentor to an attorney who is unfamiliar with basic immigration law.  Answering the questions and the inevitable follow up would be time consuming.

 Example #1: Mr. Springmann complains that he wasn’t allowed into a Federal building with an expired ID.  Well, the client’s appointment notice says an attorney can appear by telephone.  I don’t think AILA as an organization can assist a member who chooses to attend an appointment in person and who lets his ID expire and can’t get into a Federal building as a result.   What would one post to the listserve to help him here? Should we tell Mr. Springmann to read his clients’ I797s and follow the instructions? Or bring a different ID next time?

 Example #2. Mr. Springmann complains that USCIS interviewed his client for an appointment without completing background check or biometrics first, per hearsay from the clients (he wasn’t allowed into the building because his ID had expired, so he doesn’t know what happened at the interview except based on what his clients told him).  Well, if Mr. Springmann filed the case, he should know whether his client had biometrics done. Mr. Springmann would have been copied with the biometrics notice.  Mr. Springmann asks “how to get USCIS moving.” The question is so vague that I wouldn’t have answered it. “Get moving on what”? 

 Example #3: Mr. Springmann posted a detailed and complicated fact situation that indicated multiple problematical but basic immigration law problems with a case, and then asked “would appreciate advice, counsel, and USCIS contacts.”  But the detailed case summary indicated that Mr. Springmann is unfamiliar with immigration law and how it works (among other things, he expressed concern that his clients wanted him to contact USCIS about a “via extension” [visa extension?] when he had told the clients to “contact airline” . . .). The client’s I797s contain info on how to contact USCIS. All one has to do is read them.  I would not know how to help an attorney who thinks contacting an airline, rather than USCIS, will get a visa extended.

 Respectfully . . . Most AILA members aren’t going to answer questions that show the questioner isn’t at all familiar with the basics of immigration law.   There’s no conspiracy there, and it’s not “bullying,” it’s just that we are all quite busy taking care of our own clients and have limited time to mentor other attorneys on the basics of immigration law…

 Unprofessional, uncivil, demeaning, abusive or hostile?  An effort to misrepresent, mischaracterize, and misquote information in seeking to advance any point of view? 

I sure think so, but then, maybe I’m biased.  Being an attorney, author, political commentator, and former diplomat obviously has imbued me with a different outlook than most.  But then, being from Alaska, perhaps Miss Stock didn’t know that, because of the virus, Washington, D.C. took an entire year to renew my driver’s license and couldn’t understand that the same expired ID had gotten me into the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Merrifield, Virginia office for an adjustment of status interview.  Regarding her Example 2, she apparently did not realize I “attended” the hearing in Norfolk, Va. by cell phone from the parking lot.

And rebutting every incorrect point Lt. Col. Stock made would cause the Reader to stop reading out of sheer boredom.

The Unsurprising Result.  Ava Benach’s website trumpets close connections with AILA’s leadership and the things her firm has done for the organization.  (Ava Benach – Benach Collopy, llp).  I do not know the connection between Benach and Stock, living as they do at opposite ends of the country, but Stock seems to parrot and build on Benach’s idiocy.  However, the retired military policeman wouldn’t write such things if they weren’t close.  More interestingly, the Internet describes Lt. Col. Stock as a politician involved with national security issues, having been a professor at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.  (Stock also ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate Margaret Stock for U.S. Senate – Are You In? (margaretforalaska.com)

AILA’s resolution of my grievance is as follows, regrettably in its full verbosity.  Please note that the organization suggests I work on MY civility.  Also see that AILA wants me to keep the matter “confidential”, as most questionable organizations do when they’re involved in bias and prejudice.

Mr. Springmann,

On behalf of the AILA National Membership Committee, I am following up on your Civility Code complaint against Margaret Stock and Ava Benach regarding messages sent to the AILA DC Chapter listserv between October 12 and December 2, 2021.

The Membership Committee determined that Ms. Stock and Ms. Benach did not violate the Civility Code.

Further, after reviewing the full history and record, we encourage you to review AILA’s mission: to promote justice, advocate for fair and reasonable immigration law and policy, advance the quality of immigration and nationality law and practice, and enhance the professional development of its members. In addition, the Civility Code emphasizes the importance of promoting and fostering a professional and civil environment. Your use of the word “illegals” does not advance the mission of AILA, nor does it promote and foster a professional and civil environment. There are a number of resources available that explain further why that term is considered to be uncivil as well as suitable replacements. One such example can be found via the link below.

https://www.raceforward.org/sites/default/files/DTIW_Stylebook.pdf  [Remarkable “woke” nonsense]

Going forward, please conduct yourself in a professional and civil manner at all times when engaged in AILA-related activities and communications, and refrain from disseminating communications that contain unprofessional language.

If you are not satisfied with the answers you receive from volunteer members of your chapter listserv, AILA maintains a mentor program. You can find more information about this program at https://www.aila.org/mentor-directory.

The Membership Committee requests that you do not disseminate the result of your complaint as all remedies are considered confidential under the Civility Code.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Russell Abrutyn
Chair, AILA National Membership Committee

The AILA membership committee staff involved in this goat-roping were:

Russell Abrutyn, Chair
Palma Yanni, Vice Chair
Cindy Azoulay
Tiffany Martinez
Maggie M. Murphy
Sheela Murthy
John L. Pinnix
Ari J. Sauer
Jacqueline Watson
Alexis Axelrad, ExCom Liaison

Speculation for Hostility Against Me.  While I have remarked on the mysterious reasons for Ava Benach’s invidious comments, it’s worth taking a look at Margaret Stock’s wild, libelous remarks.  My books, Visas for Al Qaeda and Goodbye, Europe, castigate, in some detail, Lt. Col. Stock’s personal beliefs and associations.  Notably, in them, I hammer the corrupt, incompetent, illegitimate, and racist U.S. government, including its Army and Congress, for which Stock, mandatorily-retired soldier, was a failed candidate.  Moreover, as a political commentator, I have spoken out against U.S. national security policy, dear to Stock’s heart, on several Russian television stations, such as BaltNews, NTV, Russia One; as well as Al-Araby (Qatar); Al-Mayadeen TV (Beirut); and PressTV (Tehran).

Ultimately, I will not renew my membership in the highly-politicized immigration lawyers’ association.  Not because, as Groucho Marx said: I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member. , but because, as he commented, Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.

Who Is America’s Greatest Enemy, Israel Or Iran?

January 5, 2022 By J. Michael Springmann

Who Is America’s Greatest Enemy, Israel Or Iran?

By Gholemreza Montazami, Retired Iranian Diplomat

 December 25, 2021


Nearly three
years ago John Mearsheimer had said in one of his articles the following:

“…Iran is not a direct threat to the United States. It is not even an indirect threat to the United

States. First, Iran does not have nuclear weapons and it has signed an agreement with the

world’s major pow
ers that makes it impossible for Tehran to develop nuclear weapons in the
foreseeable future. Second, Iran does not have missiles that can strike the U.S. homeland.

Third, Iran has weak conventional forces, which cannot be used against the United States or

any country in the Middle East that is under the American security umbrella. Fourth, Iran is

not a serious threat to attack another country in its region. It has not launched a war against

another country even once in modern times, and there is no evidenc
e that it is now preparing
to take the offensive against any of its neighbors. Fifth, Iran is not the source of America’s

terrorism problem. To the extent that any one country deserves that title, it is Saudi Arabia,

not Iran…”
1

It should be obvious to th
e American people who America’s real enemy is, especially given
Mearsheimer’s past work on
, “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy”.2 The state of Israel
has proven itself time and time again that Israel’s political lobby has
used the US government
and
military to further Israel’s interests in the Middle East.

We at the New Horizon organization have been holding conferences for over 10 years where

various personalities, such as journalists, political activists, American anti
–Zionists, American
anti
–Zionist Jews and others come and meet and make contributions and presentations to
expose Zionist power in the US and the Western world and to also develop strategies on

reducing or breaking this power.


We have never made any threats against the US government or America
’s national or
security interests in any of our c
onferences. We have been rewarded for all of our hard work
by being sanctioned by the very government
(US government) which has repeatedly been

used and exploited by the state of Israel
. To make matters worse the US government placed
the worst possible san
ctions on our organization’s three key people (Nader Talebzadeh,
Zeina Mehanna, Hamed Ghashghavi) and myself. We were
designated as “Global Terrorists”
which i
s a special categorization of terrorists which was created after 9/11.3 Also, conference
participants from other countries have similarly been persecuted by the US government by

being put on ‘no
–fly’ lists.

We don’t blame the American people for the sanctions against our organization or the

sanctions against Iran. We know that the American ma
sses and patriots among them are
victims of Zionist power inside their government.
A recent survey showed that 54% of
Americans see their fellow Americans as the main threat to them. Of those, 48% who fear

other countries, 52% fear China, Russia 12%, Afgha
nistan 5%, and Iran 4%.4

We fight against Zionism and Israel, which dominate the US government’s decision–making
centers. These nefarious forces are a serious threat to American national and security
interests, and to the American people. My country and our organization are fighting for the
American people against the most dangerous threat and enemy to the American and Iranian
peoples.

One of the main reasons that Israel has been so determined to overthrow our government is
because we have consistently supported Palestinian resistance to Israeli oppression and
tyranny. No other country in the world except us, can provide arms and missiles to Hamas to
resist Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian land. No other country in the world could give
even a bullet to help support the Palestinians against their oppressors.

The US government because of Israel has imposed so many sanctions on us that we’ve
become the most sanctioned country in human history. Instead of sanctioning us the US
government should be giving us praise and give us the financial aid which Israel has been
receiving since 1948. The main reason we should receive this praise and aid is because Iran
has consistently used its money and resources against the greatest common enemy of our
two countries. Iran has done far more for the American people by resisting Israel and Zionism
than all of America’s war heroes combined.

Iran has served the American national interests and people more than the American military,
security, intelligence and political systems. This is well known and understood by officials
inside the security, intelligence, military and political establishments and the real patriots who
are very intelligent and work within the US government. This is also known by elitist people
within America’s aristocracy. We understand this situation very well and we do not wish to put
these people in a difficult position. Because they know they will pay a very high price if they
resist the will of the Zionists and their control over the various levels of government inside the
US.

These enlightened people must do everything they can to raise awareness of Zionist power
inside America. God Willing this greater awareness will hopefully lead to the creation of
effective political opposition to resist Zionist power inside the US government.

Fortunately, we have been seeing some consistent organized opposition forming in the
growing Palestinian solidarity movement, including the Boycott, Divestment Sanctions (BDS)
campaign. This opposition has continued despite some Zionist successes in making criticism
of Israel illegal in some countries. It is the US Constitution that protects this right to protest,
so the Zionists are unable to stop the reaction by American citizens to form grassroots efforts
to struggle for justice.

A growing number of people around the world are learning that Zionists are the most
nefarious people and that they have repeatedly hurt the American and Iranian peoples. Some
of the crimes committed against America by Israel and its Zionist supporters include, the
Black Slave Trade,5 the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank and its ongoing campaign of
debasing the US currency,6 the John F. Kennedy assassination,7 the sexual revolution,8 the
pornography industry,9 the attack on the USS Liberty,10 Israeli espionage against the US, the
organ trafficking industry, various economic crises over the last 100 years to name a few 11
and the 9/11 operation. 12

The video clip (
https://archive.org/details/israel–did–9–11–dr.–alan–sabrosky–u.–s–army–war–
college/Israel+did+9_11+–+Dr.+Alan+Sabrosky+–+U.S+Army+War+College.mp4
) in the
footnotes section of this article provides some very logical commentary from Alan Sabrosky,
a retired Marine officer who was a director of studies at the US Army War college. He makes
a compelling argument that 9/11 was a Mossad operation.12

It’s very important that the American people realize and understand that it is they who have
used their blood and treasure in the service of Israel to invade and occupy Afghanistan and
Iraq13 in the weeks and months following 9/11. Thousands of American military personnel
were killed and tens of thousands were injured, but not one Israeli soldier was killed or injured
in these wars to protect and expand Israeli power in the Middle East region.

It should be obvious to everyone now that Israel has been the greatest beneficiary of
“America’s War on Terror”. On top of this, it’s becoming clear to a growing number of people
in America and throughout the world that Israel was behind the 9/11 Operation. Had 9/11
never happened then Israel would have never been able to use the American military to
attack and occupy Afghanistan and Iraq. It should also be discussed how Israel has been
using its power over the US government to try and push it to wage a direct war against Syria.

Looking at today’s regional situation, we can see how Israel has been working very hard to
use the US military to go to war against Iran by creating dangerous situations. The single
biggest escalation of tensions came when the US military assassinated General Soleimani
and within a year of that assassination the Mossad was involved in assassinating Dr.
Fakhrizadeh. Some Israeli government officials later boasted that Israel was involved in
influencing the US government to use the US military to assassinate General Soleimani.

Iran showed great restraint in its response by only firing missiles at one US military base

in Al–Assad, Iraq. Iran in a matter of minutes could have set fire to all the American military

bases in the region and could have killed thousands of American troops. But Iran did not want
American soldiers and officers to be sacrificed for Israel’s interests. The question we need to
ask ourselves is, why do patriotic Americans; people in the intelligence, security, and military
communities; and political leaders allow American military personnel to be killed or humiliated
to serve Israel’s interests?

This year especially, we’ve seen some serious provocations by the US navy to set off a
conflict with the Iranian navy in the Persian Gulf. To make matters worse, Mossad’s chief has
been very busy the last several months in trying to pressure or influence US government
officials to try and find ways to set off a war in the region between America and Iran. A war
which would result in a long–term stoppage of oil exports from the Middle East region which
could lead to a global economic catastrophe.

We can also see that by looking back over the last 20 years that a number of Israeli prime
ministers took numerous trips to Washington to meet with presidents for the specific purpose
of trying to push the US to go to war against Iran.14 Outside of these efforts, Israel has also
worked very hard to prevent any good relations between the US and Iran. Their numerous
attempts at sabotaging or derailing the creation and implementation of the Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action (Iran Nuclear Deal) are well known.

Originally Israel was dead set against the international nuclear agreement when the Obama
administration agreed to it and signed off on it. After the deal began to be implemented, Israel
made numerous attempts to derail the agreement and was eventually successful a little over
a year after Trump took office. Because of Israeli pressure, Trump eventually pulled the US
out of the nuclear deal in May of 2018.

Recently Iran’s new presidential administration made a number of efforts to try and salvage
the nuclear negotiations. While Iran was making these efforts, Israel began to increase its
pressure against Germany, France and the UK to take a hard position against Iran in the
nuclear discussions. Israel’s goal with this effort is to make sure that the entire agreement
collapses and this will eventually make it easier for Israel to set off a war between the US and
Iran, and it will also become easier for Israel to use the European powers to support a
potential American war against Iran. If such a war does happen then the European powers
will wind up losing more than what America would lose in such a war. Also it’s very important
that the Europeans understand that the destruction of the nuclear agreement will not benefit
Europe, the only beneficiary of the agreement’s destruction will be Israel.

Israel’s primary goal has been to try and start a war between the US and Iran, and because
of this Israel would never let the nuclear agreement move forward because if it was
successful then we could actually begin to see good relations between the US, the European
powers and Iran. Israel could never accept such a positive and peaceful arrangement. At the
same time, Israeli leaders know that they can’t attack Iran without US support. This is why
Israel and its Zionist supporters have been working so hard on the Biden administration and 

the US Congress to prevent America from abiding to the terms of the original nuclear
agreement.

There can be no doubt that the Zionist lobby will be working very hard throughout next year in
the run up to the Congressional mid–term elections in November 2022. Their goal of course
will be to use their money to support candidates and incumbents who will support Israel’s
goals in preventing the US government from following the terms of the nuclear agreement.

While we try to remain hopeful that somehow Israel’s power will be curtailed or God Willing
broken, we must be realistic about the situation and Israel’s never ending efforts to protect
and expand its power. Israel’s efforts could eventually lead to a full blown war with Israel
using America as a proxy to fight against Iran.


Iran would like to request from the American people that they do everything they can to stop

such a war against Iran from happening.
If such a war does happen then Iran requests from
the American people that at least h
alf of the troops used from the American side are taken
directly from units of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF).


If Israel is so
determined to use the US military as a mercenary force to go to war against Iran
then it should directly invest
in such a war by using its military personnel in such an effort.
Our last request is that if a war does begin that the US military leaders have the Israeli

soldiers wear blue and white uniforms so that our forces can easily find and target them on

the battlefield.
We don’t want to put ourselves in a situation where we have to shoot any
American soldiers because too many American soldiers have already been
victims by being
killed
or injured since 9/11 for Israel’s benefit.15, 16, 17

Our very last request is
if Israel accepts such a military arrangement for a future war, then
please do what you can to convince your gover
nment to let such a war against Iran
commence
as soon as possible.

MIGRANTS? SOMEBODY LOSE SOME MIGRANTS?

November 9, 2017 By J. Michael Springmann

During the first week of November 2017, RT and later numerous British sources announced that Her Britannic Majesty’s Home Office (Interior Ministry) had “misplaced” some 56,000 foreigners liable for deportation – including convicted criminals and illegal immigrants. One woman intimately familiar with Europe’s studiously ignored wave of illicit aliens waggishly remarked, “they aren’t lost; they’re all here in Germany, riding the trains.”

What Hath Merkel Wrought? And Why?

And that’s Europe’s chief problem: the nations on the Continent, nearly all members of the European Union (EU), Germany in particular, still don’t recognize that the foreigners, those now present and with more still on the way, are a problem. Mutter der Nation Merkel invited the migrants there to “save” them from the American/Israeli Forever War against Arabs and Muslims. Please take note that German Chancellor Merkel did not, repeat not, attempt to stop that war. She has never spoken out against it. She has never demanded that refugee camps be set up in or near the violence-torn countries. She has never attempted to aid the economies of those wretched lands, except perhaps through German military expenditures for soldiers and airmen stationed in or near them.

But, Angela Merkel did want cheap labor to help German exports. She did want to change the cultural makeup of the country, helping wipe out German values. Look and think on that latter point, especially given Merkel’s remarks when she was an official of one-time East Germany, the German Democratic Republic. “If we reform the GDR, it won’t be in terms of the Federal Republic.” (Then, “West Germany”.)

As noted in Goodbye, Europe? Hello, Chaos?, the migrants are, to a large extent, not well educated, come from a culture differing in interpersonal behavior from Europeans, and often are not attuned to punctuality. Additionally, their religion is radically different from those of Germany and the rest of the EU.

What Does This Mean?

The German culture stems from the beliefs and values of its people. The role that these principles play are evident in a German’s everyday life. Here are a few of the key values that the Germans possess.

Education

… a good education is very important to German societies. Not only do they have a deep respect for education, but credibility, social status, and the level of employment a person may reach depends on his educational achievement.

Manners

…Displaying politeness and courtesy are ways of showing respect. Boundaries are drawn through social distance, eye contact, touch, and facial expressions. Different types of relationships require different codes of behavior. Failing to follow these protocols is considered rude and may alienate those who are unaware of them.

Punctuality

…Germans pride themselves on their punctuality… Being late to an appointment disturbs their sense of order and is seen as rude… The German sense of “keeping to the schedule” can be seen in and out of the business world. For those who are virtually always on time, there are rarely acceptable excuses for tardiness or delays that may disturb the “schedule.”

Religion

German religion has gone through many changes throughout history. Yet, it continues to be a major part of Germans’ lives. The two most practiced religions are Lutheran Protestant (45%) and Roman Catholic (37%). (Source for foregoing: DePauw University. For more information and analysis on culture clashes between Germans and migrants, see: www.michaelspringmann .com and www.amazon.com/Goodbye-Europe-Hello-Chaos- Merkels/dp/0990926222/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1506524567&sr=8-1)

The Result?

Mama Merkel paid the price for her arrogance and contempt for German culture. She and her right-wing party, the Christian Democratic Union (along with its ally, the Bavarian Christian Socialist Union), lost very badly in the General Election held September 24, 2017. Their percentage of the vote fell sharply, dropping from 41% of the polls in 2013 to barely 33% in 2017. (Normally, the shift of a few percentage points is a big issue.) They lost 63 seats in the Bundestag (parliament), The Alternative for Germany party, the only viable political group opposing migration, grabbed about 13% of the vote, gaining 94 seats, a radical change for a party founded in 2013.

Yet the Chancellor’s response reflected her inability to handle reality. She said that she would listen to those who voted for the Alternative for Germany, or AfD, and work to win them back “by solving problems, by taking up their worries, partly also their fears, but above all by good politics.” She didn’t say she would stop the conflicts creating the migrant wave or seek to damn the flood of aliens.

Money Might Be the Root of All Evil But It is Also a Major Cause of Immigration

Frau Merkel seems to also ignore the great effect German generosity has in pulling migrants from all corners of the globe to the Federal Republic. According to The Local.de, “An asylum seeker arriving in Germany has the right to housing and up to €390 euros per month to cover food, clothing and other expenses.” (This is considerably better than US support of asylum seekers.) German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière characterized this as a “siren call for migrants”. Additionally, “The benefits for refugees in Germany are quite high compared to other EU countries. This is part of the pull effect towards Germany,” de Maizière, a close ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel, said in an interview with the Rheinische Post regional daily. (Quoted in The Local.de, Sept4ember 10, 2017.)

So far, Merkel’s done nothing to change the Willkommenskultur (Welcome Culture). And more information about her failed policies and their dreadful consequences is coming to light.

Here’s but one example. On October 16, 2016, an Afghan migrant, Hussein Kavari, raped and drowned Maria Ladenburger, daughter of a high-ranking EU official. The Afghan attacker caught the young medical student as she was bicycling home from a party in the university city of Freiburg. One year later, more explosive news about Karvari came out. RT wrote on November 8, 2017 that Kavari, who claimed to be underage [and, presumably seeking mercy from the court] is really in his 20s and may be as old as 30. (He had kept a previously-extracted tooth that yielded up his true age.) More astonishingly, “The suspect arrived in Germany as an unaccompanied asylum-seeker in 2015, with no identity papers, and had been living with a Germany foster family since.” (When arrested, Kavari claimed he was only 17!)

Migrant Makeup and the Push for More

The “male and unaccompanied issue”, handled in Goodbye, Europe? Hello, Chaos?, is still a major problem in Germany, and becoming more complicated. According to The Local.de, “asylum seekers are more likely to be male than female, although the balance changes somewhat from year to year. In 2016 two in every three asylum seekers were male… Government figures show that two age groups are particularly likely to be asylum seekers in Germany. The first is young people aged between the ages of 18 and 30, of whom the large majority are male. The second group is very young children under the age of four. Almost one in every four asylum applications lodged this year have been on behalf of children under the age of four. By contrast children aged 4 to 6 made up only 3 percent of all applications.” (September 1, 2017.)

The Local.de went on to say in the same issue that 2016 was a record year for asylum applications: ” When hundreds of thousands of refugees arrived in the autumn of 2015 they didn’t all apply for asylum at once. Because there was already a long backlog with the immigration authorities, many waited until 2016.

That meant that last year smashed the record for asylum requests – 745,545 applications were lodged during the course of the year. 2015 was the second highest number of applications in German history, with 476,649 being made…”

Not recognizing the reasons for the 2017 electoral backlash against its policies (crashing to 20% of the vote, the worst in its post-war history), the German Socialist Party (SPD) has proposed alienating still more people. Touting the discredited idea that the only way to expand Germany’s population is by migration, Germany’s traditional working-class party believes that 250,000 more aliens should be brought to the country annually. The SPD proposes a point system that would enable additional people to qualify for German citizenship. Its draft law, the party notes, would not affect the rights of anyone seeking asylum in the country. (Cf. The Local.de November 7, 2017.)

Censorship: Free Speech Is Relative

Yet, there appears to be no real change from the German government’s crackdown on speech critical of migrants. In 2016, the Washington Post reported that “German authorities, meanwhile, have reached a deal with Facebook, Google and Twitter to get tougher on offensive content, with the outlets agreeing to apply domestic laws, rather than their own corporate policies, to reviews of posts.” (Perhaps that is why Twitter has refused to advertise Goodbye, Europe? and why Facebook does such a poor job of promoting that volume. The work disparages Europe’s, especially Germany’s, migrant policy. )

The Post also noted ” Critics call it the enforcement of political correctness, raising the question of what constitutes hate speech and sparking a national debate over free expression…Some Germans are questioning whether their online comments about migrant crimes [such as the 2015 New Year’s Eve attacks in Cologne] could be taken down, or whether they could be charged with incitement, for publicly pondering whether refugees could have been among the assailants.”

Also, “… the incidents have fed a strain of anger and suspicion here beyond the traditional migrant critics in the right wing. It’s not politically correct to say anything against migrants. We don’t have freedom of opinion anymore…tweeted a German user from Hanover going by the handle Pulvermann.”

Furthermore, ” Proponents are hailing the government effort as a way to foment respect while also controlling the most savage voices in society.” Yet, this is not going down as easily as Merkel and her people might wish. “…[E]ven leaders on the political left are questioning whether the bid to weed out hate is going too far. Stefan Körner, chairman of Germany’s liberal Pirate Party, argued that democracies ‘must be able to bear’ a measure of xenophobia. He condemned the government’s deal with social media outlets to get tougher on offensive speech, saying that ‘surely it will lead to too many rather than too few comments being blocked. This is creeping censorship, and we definitely don’t want that.’”

Even the media, the Post said, is censoring itself. “The surge of incendiary comments online has been so strong that one of Germany’s largest media outlets, Der Spiegel, disabled its readers’ comment function for articles related to refugees.”

Proponents of more controls on freedom of speech in Germany assert that uncontrolled speech about migrants causes violent crime against migrants, so the Post says. Perhaps, it’s the other way around. Failure to address an issue of major importance, an issue striking at the heart not only of the state but of its people encourages crime against migrants because the government is seen as working on behalf of aliens to the detriment of the citizenry.

CONCLUSION: The surge in European, especially German, hatred of the Right, particularly those groups opposing unrestricted migration, further demonstrates the failure of the Left. Much like the recent presidential election in the US, Europeans no longer accept polls that go against what they perceive as their interests. And that is why democracy is dying, not as the Washington Post claims on its masthead, in darkness, but in bright sunlight.
