Putin: “The Powers That Be” Continue to “Churn Out Threats, Imaginary and Mythical” Threats to Control the World

Vladimir Putin of Russia is an enigmatic figure. His background as a KGB agent in the former Soviet Union gives one pause. On the other hand, his remarks give the impression that he is an opponent of global government. Those two facts are not necessarily mutually-exclusive, yet it is impossible to comfortably trust the man implicitly. Put another way, is he truly a proponent of strong, free, nation-states like he sounds or not?

A person would have to be incredibly naive to believe that nations do not engage in clandestine activities. There is just too much evidence of such to ignore.

The truth is, we live in a world of secrecy, and many prominent figures throughout history have been trying to tell us this for years. Even President Theodore Roosevelt warned us of the secret government, revealing that “behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government, owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.”

More people became aware of the world of secrecy when Edward Snowden, a former intelligence contractor, leaked the very first documentation that proved the existence of clandestine black budget operations. These programs go far beyond surveillance and have no oversight from Congress.

Russian President Vladimir Putin recently addressed the 13th annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club, and his remarks are worth noting. Especially interesting are his comments concerning allegations that Russia intervened in the recent US presidential elections.

He began his speech by arguing that the oligarchic ‘1 percent’ that dominate our world “abandoned substantive and equal dialogue with other actors in international life, chose not to improve or create universal institutions, and attempted instead to bring the entire world under the spread of their own organisations, norms and rules. They chose the road of globalisation and security for their own beloved selves, for the select few, and not for all.”

He is referring to the fact that the global elite continue to push their desire for a new world order. This, in my view, is most evident by what’s taken place in the Middle East, especially in the past decade. The United States has completely infiltrated and destroyed countries, all while manufacturing false events to justify these invasions. This is known as false flag terrorism. The Middle East is now full of U.S. military bases. But more on this later.

According to Putin, “If the powers that be today find some standard or norm to their advantage, they force everyone else to comply. But if tomorrow these same standards get in their way, they are swift to throw them in the bin, declare them obsolete, and set or try to set new rules.”  (source)

Later on, he mentions that the “the powers that be” continue to “churn out threats, imaginary and mythical threats such as the ‘Russian military threat,’ ” explaining how it’s a “profitable business that can be used to pump new money into defence budgets at home, get allies to bend to a single superpower’s interests, expand NATO and bring its infrastructure, military units and arms closer to our borders.”

He then goes on to describe the anti-Russian propaganda the U.S. has spread in recent years:

“Another mythical and imaginary problem is what I can only call the hysteria the USA has whipped up over supposed Russian meddling in the American presidential election. The United States has plenty of genuinely urgent problems, it would seem, from the colossal public debt to the increase in firearms violence and cases of arbitrary action by the police.”

One must immediately question the reason why Putin is making these statements. No doubt he is interested in maintaining his own position of power, but there must be more to this than that, especially since his position in Russia appears very secure. More likely is that he believes that covert activities by the US are targeting Russia, and he wishes to put US leadership and the world on notice that he is aware of what is going on.

The fact that Putin, along with many others, continues to point out that many of the threats used by the Western military alliance are completely fabricated, resonates with the research out there. Even those who have contributed to the Western propaganda machine have outed their own countries. One example would be former Four Star General Wesley Clark, who was the Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO from 1997 to 2000. Clark told the world that ISIS was created by the Western military alliance. You can hear it straight from his mouth here.

Putin offered similar revelations, stating that “they created and armed terrorist groups, whose cruel actions have sent millions of civilians into flight, made millions of displaced persons and immigrants, and plunged entire regions into chaos.”

We saw the same thing with Al-Qaeda.

“The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al-Qaeda, and any informed intelligence officer knows this. But, there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an intensified entity representing the ‘devil’ only in order to drive TV watchers to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the United States.” (source)

FBI whistle blower Sibel Edmonds told us that ISIS was created to be the next threat from Al-Qaeda, specifically for the purpose of reviving the terror war industry.

Whenever one writes a piece like this, one opens oneself up to criticism of being unpatriotic or being a Putin apologist. That is not the case here. It is a simple fact that Vladimir Putin is a very important actor on the world stage who, at least at times, shares truthful information about the actions of other nations, including the US.

It is also clear, that the US, like other countries, does not have a pristine record of spreading unselfish beneficence in all of its activities in foreign nations. President Trump pointed this out recently and received the usual criticism for his comments.

Yet you cannot “make American great again” without identifying areas where its “greatness” might be a bit tarnished. If a foreign leader’s remarks illustrate some areas that might need to be addressed, that simply means we should have gotten on the matter sooner.

In any event, Putin’s remarks are well worth considering, especially as one tries to understand the meaning of and connections among what would otherwise appear to be separate and distinct world events.
