The latest information that the alleged bombers responsible for the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon were originally from Chechnya is a fact from which many conclusions may be reached. It is also a fact that should not be used as an excuse to demonize a particular group or religion. In this single event the U.S. war on terror has proven that it has failed. Americans are now in more danger than they were before 9-11.

One might have postulated that the U.S. support of terrorists, from Al-Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban to Chechen terrorists, right wing Central American paramilitaries, Irish Republicans, Syrian and Libyan insurgents and an array of others, was going to backfire. This has now been proven.

You cannot support, fund and sponsor violent extremist elements one day, because they are helping you fight a mutual enemy, and then demonize them and kill their women and children the next day with careless drone strikes and the like.

Russia knows this and has never negotiated, supported or worked with such elements let alone create fund and arm them as the U.S. has done around the world. But the U.S. does not care which side of the fence it is currently playing as long as its geopolitical goals are being fulfilled, that I believe is a given.

One day they will support Muslim fanatics committing genocide in Serbia, the next day they will bomb and annihilate Muslims in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and where have you, and then act surprised and indignant when they are attacked in return.

Russia has taken a much wiser and mature approach in dealing with Islamic fundamentalist terrorists, and the U.S. might learn from that approach if it in fact wishes to win its war on terror, which at this point is doubtful. As I said before the whole war on terror needs and breeds terrorists, something necessary to continue the paradigm.

Russia’s approach has been to separate the Muslim faith, which in reality preaches peace and respect, and the criminal actions of terrorists and has shown genuine respect for the sovereignty of other countries and the religious beliefs of others.

The U.S and the West has taken the approach of demonizing an entire religion and people on the one hand to providing the most extremist elements with support and asylum when it is convenient, on the other. Cases in point are Chechen terrorists and police killers who currently enjoy asylum and protection in the West for the sole reason that they were killing Russians and this served the United States’ geopolitical goals of destabilization and further conflict in the Caucuses.

The head of the Russian Republic of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov was right when he stated through his spokesman “”The persons in question did not live in Chechnya as adults. If they have become ‘bad guys’ save your questions for those who reared them.” In this case the United States and their agents.

If it turns out that the suspects were followers of the Faith of Islam, a faith I have the utmost respect for, which is most likely, then what the U.S. and the world is seeing is the new generation of anti-American terrorists who have been raised watching their people being slaughtered by the “War on Terror”. There can be no doubt in my mind, unless the U.S. changes its policies, this is just the beginning.

The sad part here is that the American people, American civilians and innocent people will be the ones paying the price for American meddling and the faulty U.S. Government planning and execution of their war on terror. Which as I have said before is a tactic and hence is not something that a war can be waged against.

The war on terror, for all intents and purposes, has clearly shown itself to be a war on Islam and an excuse for the United States to expand NATO and its military arsenals around the world. It has done more for creating anti-American sentiment and breeding terrorists than it has for eradicating extremist sentiment and anti-American hate and securing the safety of the American people.

Perhaps and more likely than not, this was by design. According to the neoconservative authors of the Project for a New American Century, which could be called the blueprint for the whole endless-global-war-on-terror-paradigm that the U.S. has pulled the entire planet into, a catalyst was needed to justify U.S. military expansion worldwide, the necessary ingredient for the complete and total domination of the planet by the United States. That catalyst was 9-11.

The perpetrators of the Boston Marathon bombing have played into their hands as this is will no doubt be used as an excuse for the continuation of the endless “War on Terror” and the global military expansionism by the U.S. and it allies. Both of which require there to be constant threats and constant attacks to maintain the façade of legitimacy and continue to terrorize the population into supporting every possible nefarious deed and stripping of rights all being done in the name of security.

What is being missed in the debate on the attacks in Boston, and I have said this before, is that the U.S. authorities have proven that they are incapable of protecting the population from terrorist attacks. This one act has nullified and negated the entire reasoning and logic for the war on terror, the stripping away of rights in the name of security and the introduction of the hyper security state and thus it must all be stopped.

Of course this event will be played in a different light but in reality it has also proven everything that has been done since 9-11 in the name of security is a farce and in reality the state is impotent and unable to truly guarantee the safety of the people.

Other than turning the U.S. into a homogonous-one-race-one-religion hyper security state along the lines of Israel, the U.S will never be safe from terrorism until it finally stops its constant and endless meddling into the affairs of the foreign countries and attempting to dictate to the world and force the world to succumb to its own image of how it should be. These being primary goals of the Project for a New American Century.

On another level the U.S. has possibly forgotten the human factor, or is counting on it which is a matter for further debate, and that being if one continues to kill, degrade, subjugate, exploit and annihilate a people, whether they be Serbian, Muslims, Afghans, American Indians, Mayans, Russians, Puerto Ricans, Syrians, Palestinians or anyone else, there will always be a lone individual who is ready to do anything to avenge those wrongs and there is nothing they can do to protect themselves against a lone individual acting autonomously.

 Respect, dialogue, diplomacy and genuine care on all levels are the only ways to stop terror from breeding and pinpoint surgical eradication is the only way to stop terrorists from striking. This must be done mercilessly before they strike, but it must be done to the guilty, not to innocents and there must be no room for collateral damage.

Force breeds force, hate breeds hate, violence breeds violence, and war breeds war. Maybe it is time the U.S. thought about making peace, respecting the sovereignty of nations and respecting the will of the people, and stopped trying to force the world to bend to its own image? If not, this may be just the beginning.

MAGNITSKY CASE-MYTH, AMERICAN REACTION AND RUSSIAN RETALIATION

MAGNITSKY CASE-MYTH, AMERICAN REACTION AND RUSSIAN RETALIATION

The recent controversy regarding Magnitsky act has come to a significant height when USA passed magintsky act and slapped sanction on several Russian officials with publication of eighteen names.The Russian Federation retaliated with US adoption ban by means of Dima Yakovlev law and creating a similar kind of list known as Guantanamo list with tit for tat sanctions on US officials.

The myth and glorifiacation of Sergei Magnitsky started when he was caught by Russian law enforcement authorities in relation to alleged tax evasion by Magnitsky’s client Hermitage capital run by British citizen William Browder and Magnistky died under police custody.The death remained controversial issue as Russian side claimed that he was died of heart attack and western/American version suspects that it has happened due to torture and beating.Sergei Magnitsky posthumously got prominent fame among western and American media houses as a crusader against Russian corruption.The Russian govt and Russian public consider the maganitsky case as a normal law and order case which is/was designated to investigate tax evasion.

In wild 90s,During Yeltsin era,numerous companies and individuals made money with the volatile situation prevailing in Russia.As there was no effective law and order enforcement, tax evasion ,fraudulent activities,financial corruption attained maximum height.Hermitage capital was no exception,both a section of Russian population and some foreign players were involved in rampant looting.When Vladimir Putin came to power,he started to crackdown on oligarchs,mafias,thieves and keep them away from politics and economic activities. This situation was not conducive to looters and many of them fled Russia and alleged that they were subjected to political persecution. In western and American media, negative information about Russia ,be it true or false always gained/gains popularity and prominence due to their pathological hatred towards Russia. They did not miss the opportunity to glorify such stories and gave due coverage. Some of the disgraced oligarchs along with corrupt Russian officials with the help of these media groups and foreign intelligence agencies involved in discrediting and humiliating Russian leadership. They invented various false, non-existent stories which were circulated through western and American media network. It is evident that west and USA always gave preference to traitors, dissidents who helped them to loot and rule respective countries of those people. This Magnitsky story is also like that kind of farce stories. It got much more importance as the head of hermitage capital was a British citizen and he actively lobbied everywhere by using false propaganda campaign to malign Russia. Some confused Russian liberals also joined them.

United States and west left no stone unturned to use this opportunity to take revenge on Russia and to blow up Russian image due to their natural cold war style hatred .They deliberately ignored the case of tax evasion and tax code violation.Russia is a sovereign country where all the affairs are conducted from Moscow not from Washington,London,Brussels.Then how they came to conclusion that there was no case of tax evasion.Do they have spies or did the Russian officials show them any record?Second thing is also very interesting-How did they  know that Mr Maganitsky was beaten and tortured to death?Do west and usa have any kind of concrete evidence or they are trumpeting on the basis of individual allegation or mere perception? When there is no proof, then what is the reason behind shouting louder? Custodial death and illegal detention before trial are not uncommon in west and usa,but in this case they are deliberately trying to damage Russian image before the world. It is also surprising and suspicious on what basis they are giving clean chit to hermitage capital and it’s boss. Russia conducted investigation within it’s own jurisdiction, it did not violate international border,did not smuggle,capture or assassinate the boss of hermitage capital-then what is Russia’s crime?In fact,Russia has not committed any wrong.Why foreign countries would interfere into  domestic Russian affair.Magnitsky was an Russian citizen not the American one. It is annoying that country like united states and it’s allies which killed millions of civilians in various wars, looted various countries of Asia and Africa, raped women and killed children, created notorious prison in Guantanamo bay and secret torture prison across the globe have started to lecture on human rights issue. What a joke!One thing is very clear west and USA do not want strong prosperous Russia.

Russian reaction to US conduct was/is justified as USA has no right to advocate Russia on domestic issues as Russia is not the colony of the United States. But the silver lining is that the both sides did not escalate the matter to that extent where the co-operation between two nations would be hampered. Hostility is still there but it seems to be much more symbolic though we cannot deny symbolism also has got some definite value. As the sole superpower it is the main responsibility of America to give up the cold war mindset and meddling into internal affair of other countries. The world needs co-operation and co-existence.

ISLAM AND DEMOCRACY-CAN THEY EVER MEET???

ISLAM AND DEMOCRACY-CAN THEY EVER MEET???

The recent Arab spring has sparked debate about democratization of Islamic world. But if we want to be realistic, we will find that the matter is very much complex and it cannot happen just by supporting Arab spring or toppling the dictatorial regimes in the Arab world. Every ruling system becomes successful when it can deliver stability, prosperity and integrity to a state or a nation in all the fronts of existence. Now we need to look whether in Islamic world, there is a chance to follow the democratic path of development.

It is evident that Islam is a medieval religion and throughout the ages there has been very less reform occurred in Islamic world. The archaic value is so strong in Islamic world that even secular education could not remove the old fanatic ideology. The ample proof is that most of the terrorist leaders are well educated in modern education-be it laden or the 9/11 attackers. Fondness towards archaic values and fanatic ideas are very much prominent in Muslim world in all the sphere of lives. This has happened due to two reasons-1)As the Christian world dethroned Islamic power to regain world power, Islamic population with perception of hatred did not show any inclination towards modern education and value system which was mainly the product of Christian world enlightened through modern renaissance.  2) After the second world war,due to cold war hostilities and richness of oil and natural gas ,Islamic regions especially the middle east,Africa became the hot spot of diplomatic and military confrontation of world powers which actually isolated the Muslim population from the mainstream of world order.These two factors were further coupled with the predominant and pre-occupied mindset of ultra supremacy among the population of Islamic world which actually wants domination of Islam as a religion at any cost.The separatist movements,terrorism activities in different parts of the world are the product of  those divisive factors and ideologies associated with this.

Someone may admit or deny, in Islamic world ,the non-Muslims are not treated with fairness and minority rights are largely suppressed. The inclination towards religious state instead of secular state without religion made all the matters more complicated. On the other hand Muslim religious leaders and so called religious scholars like muftis, imams control the mindset and religious activities of Islamic population. In other religion, where there has been significant individualistic approach towards religion, in Islam they are more or less institutionalized in medieval structure. Due to it’s medieval structure Islam could not give up the clashes and confrontation based on medieval ideologies which created different identity groups like shia,shunni,salafi,kurd,alwait and numerous regional and local tribes with their own version of Islam’s long as there would be a trend to build Islamic republic or religious state, there is surely a grim prospect of democratic development as the difference between the Islamic groups will not permit to get rid of sectarian violence which will ultimately undermine the democratic progress. The little room for negotiation and reconciliation due to various historical and regional reasons make it impossible to have a stable democratic state as  we experience that politics of Islamic world is very much quarrelsome, unpredictable, violent and always in a situation like boiling water. This situation permitted dictators, sultans and other autocratic rulers as they always kept the situation under control with their ruling with iron hands as democratic aspirations would accelerate disintegration and chaotic situation.

In Turkey,Kamal pasha/Kamal  Atarkurk  tried to establish secular Islamic state-soviet union tried to establish a secular state through Nazibullah govt of Afghanistan but all those experiments utterly failed due to inherent inclination towards Islamic ideology of the population of those countries where foreign power utilized the situation to rip the benefit of strategic control. The fallout of Arab spring also suffered due to continuous chaos, violence,clashes between various interest groups, insecurity of public life in Egypt,Libya,Tunisia,Yemen.Surprisingly fundamentalist Islamic group  like Muslim brotherhood gained significant influence which clearly shows that Islamic population is still not ready to embrace modern democratic political parties in power.

Now the question remains, through which way Islamic world and Islam can solve their shortcomings and limitations to emerge as democratic force. It is no doubt the share of secular education must be increased. Muslim learn to read world history, national history of their respective regions instead of history of Islamic world and violent spreading of Islam. Islamic history should be taught as a part of world history not as an absolute history which generates Utopian idea of global supremacy. Religious education and religious schools like Madrashas, Maktabs should be given less preference and if possible should be closed. Islamic population need to study other religions and other philosophical ideas prevailing in the world and other communities also need to study Islam. Islamic countries should give preference to national identities instead of idea of universal Islamic brotherhood. Islam must give space for minority rights,more and more churches ,temples, synagogues  should be established in Islamic countries.Last but not the least Islamic world should give up the tag of Islam in the sphere of political life and must try to accept individualism and must consider religion as personal affair. If these happens, only then there is a chance to have democratic atmosphere in Islamic world. Muslims should take examples from other democratic nations and the formation of modern democratic ideology based on universal value of human rights.

A population can prosper only when there is freedom of expression, freedom of choice, idea of tolerance and co-existence. This situation can only happen in democratic atmosphere with the help of secular education and secular interpretation of history. The Islamic world has come to a very significant juncture of history when people wants to show their democratic aspirations and this is the high time for Muslims to turn their journey towards right direction. Otherwise, there will be less chance for Islam and democracy to walk side by side.

INFORMATION WAR AGAINST RUSSIA-AN EVIL ATTEMPT TO TARNISH RUSSIA’S IMAGE

INFORMATION WAR AGAINST RUSSIA-AN EVIL ATTEMPT TO TARNISH RUSSIA’S IMAGE

 

INTRODUCTION

Since the age of Russian empire, Russia has been suffering from negative information campaign against her by western powers and after the world war 2 USA joined the anti-Russian band wagon of negative propaganda campaign. The tradition of western and American hostilities towards Russia is on usual mode till date. Anything Russian is being preached as negative and malefic. In this article the various angles of information war against Russia is going to be discussed.

PATH OF GOEBBELS

Hitler’s information minister Goebbels is no more present physically but his shadow and ideas are being worshiped by western and American imperialist forces. According to Goebbels if you tell a lie time and again ,it becomes true or almost an established truth before the public eye.As the lion’s share of media houses belongs to USA,west and their allies, so it has become easier for them to launch massive information campaign against Russia in every front in the guise of their democratic credential. It is difficult to find positive news about Russia in western or American media.But a reasonable person understands that a country cannot exist for centuries on the basis of negativity,if there are not much numerous positivity in the Russian shelf which ultimately boost the nation’s journey with several ups and downs. But this positive potential and enlightened spirit of Russia and her people are hardly high-lightened in the western or American media which claims to be democratic and impartial! They are interested to generate the negative impression about Russia and their journalists are trained according to the govt policies of their respective states to demonize Russia.

 

WHY IT IS SO?

The immediate and obvious reason which is known to everyone is that Russia is/was a great power which does not /did not support many western and American steps and initiatives to solve global problems considering the evil western and American designs to dominate the world order for the centuries to come.West and USA always favored and still favors a monopolar world where other nations would have less say in the international matter.The vague concept of using the term ‘international community’ to cover up American and western crimes in every case is not acceptable to Russia which wants a multipolar pluralist world.This concept is gaining popularity and necessary momentum by the emergence of new global economic and military power houses.This kind of situation is dangerous for America and it’s allies as it prevents full spectrum global domination.As russia is one of the important parts of the multi-polar world order,so it has/have to suffer the possible and targeted  information campaign against her.

 

BAD PUTIN VS GOOD RUSSIANS CONCEPT

After the disappearance of Soviet Union Russia as a country suffered a lot in financial and military sector during yeltsin era with senseless and aggressive reforms better known as shock therapy which jeopardized the lives of Russian in every way.But when Mr Putin came to power,Russia for various reasons started to recover from the worst.Some prestige was restored and Russia did not fall in the line of destruction and dis-integration.West and USA,does not like prosperous and strong Russia as their obvious interest lies in looting russia’s natural resources with the help of puppet rulers and oligarchs(see the Khodorkovsky,levedev Brigade) by impoverishing, enslaving and destroying Russia. Putin stands against those evil intention of the hostile foreign powers and he is not willing to give up Russian interest. He wants to co-operate but on the basis of reciprocity and equal partnership.So he is being demonized in western and American media world on day to day basis and his leadership is grossly discredited by the western and American media houses which serves as the potent tool of various corporate and govt agencies to unleash information campaign against Russia and putin.During the election time,they tried very hard to separate Russian people and Putin citing that people of Russia is tired of putin’s rule and they donot want to see undemocratic(according to the opinion of hostile media houses)(!) Putin in power.The concept was represented in such a way that one would feel that Good russians are against bad Putin though by the grace of god,the design of their propaganda campaign greatly failed with high ratings of Vladimir Putin among Russian public.

 

INSERTING RUSSOPHOBIA IN  EX SOVIET STATES AND EAST-EUROPE(ANTI-SOVIET PROPAGANDA BECOMES ANTI-RUSSIAN)

The hostile govts of western and American capitals are engaged in spreading russophobia in eastern European states and ex-soviet states.Anti-soviet campaign has been turned into anti-russian campaign.For these reason,they are feeding those countries with economic aids,European and NATO membership,funding anti-russian movements in cultural and political fronts.Also several news agencies of those countries are directly or indirectly funded by western and American intelligence agencies and govt organizations to spread utmost negativity of Russia angle.Those countries would not be told the positive stories  of US-Japan partnership in spite of annihilating millions of Japanese by American nuclear bombs  at Hiroshima &Nagasaki.These countries would not be told that how the former colonial powers like France,UK,Spain,Holland keeps good relations with their former colonies in Asia and Africa.These countries will not judge how the hostile UK has become the American partner by giving up their bitter past.At least Russia did not use atom bomb on them and invested heavily in  their economies,infrastructure,education  and supplied energy and raw materials at throw away prices or at free of cost.Soviet union was not a Russian empire but it has always been represented by western and American media as Russian empire,but people needs to know Stalin was a Georgian,Khruschev was an Ukrainian  and the soviet union was a formation of 15 nations where everyone had a say on policy matter.Those who try to over-emphasize  the fact of poverty,repression,famine,mass killing must know that how UK turned wealthy india into an impoverished nation,how western colonial forces including France,UK,Netherland turned Africa as a supplier of black slaves,how poverty,famine,starvation across asia,Africa and latin America exterminated more than 30 million population by the result of western colonialism.The story of genocide of Indian Americans(red Indians) of America,tribes of Australia will never be told to them.Russia  remained much more civilized than those western and American powers.American colonialism in Philippines emergence of prostitution in greater magnitude in Thailand due to American and western imperialist forces will not be told by mainstream media.In spite of all American and western wrong doings,if those countries can keep good relations and co-operations with west and the united states,then why  it will not be preached  among the public of eastern Europe and ex-soviet states to maintain good relationship with Russia.Why the public of ex-soviet state would not know how Russia inherited and repaid soviet debts to various international lenders in spite of being a mere continuation not legal heir of the soviet union.But all these positive sides of Russia are ignored in the east European and former soviet countries for the purpose of American and western negative media campaign.Many countries banish Russian languages,some countries especially the baltic states persecute Russian minorities socially,culturally and politically.Painting false picture of Russia as an aggressor has become usual part of the propaganda campaign.The systematic  fabrication of various incidents and facts have generated considerable hostility towards Russia.The western media hardly told that Georgia started the war first and Abkhazia&South Ottesia  were a disputed territory since the fall of soviet union, like Kashmir,Nagorno-Karabakh,part of Cyprus,Korean and Japanese islands and importance on peaceful negotiations with the will of people should have been given importance instead of organizing warfare against Russia.

 

SUPPORTING GROUNDLESS PROTEST

Terming the opposition protests and demonstration as democratic is another trick of hostile Americans and westerners.Russian people are not aware of the ideas, concept, leadership of those rudderless movements but surprisingly people sitting in foreign capitals are knowing much more about the.This is obvious because these movements are funded from abroad to destabilize and discredit Russia which may suffer a lot at least in the world of image building. These protests and protesters have become their favored children to continue anti-Russian propaganda.

 NON-RECOGNITION OF DEMOCRATIC PROGRESS

Russia is progressing rapidly towards it’s democratic goal and commitment. But west rejects categorically the fact and enhanced transparency of Russian democratic system, because if Russia can establish herself as a strong state with democratic values in the eye of the international public then it would not be helpful for the Americans and westerners trumpet about their own flawed democracies to take moral high ground in the international leadership. This situation blunts their attack on Russia in the world of mainstream and social media.

 

BANKING ON SO CALLED LIBERALS AND HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS AND FOREIGN FUNDED NGOs

Russian liberals especially those who are liked by west and usa are a dangerous breed of traitors who can sell their country for anything. If they can be tamed, funded and nourished they would fight against the leadership of country and ultimately they will come to power to ease the looting of Russian natural resources, derailing the process of modernization, removing military up gradation, disintegrating Russia further. Adding to that ,there are human rights organizations and foreign funded NGOs which get fund from abroad to continue information war against Russia internally by spreading money, by training  confused Russians in foreign universities, employing Russian in various organizations with higher pay. These liberals and employees including their followers are against Russian interests and they tend to preach the concept of weak and feeble Russia under the west and usa.To be more specific, they are interested to turn Russia into western and American colony giving up the hard earned and well protected sovereignty. They operate through different media groups in print and in web to spearhead anti-Russian.

 

FALSIFICATION OF HISTORY AND OVER EXAGGERATION OF INCIDENTS-SUFFERING FROM HYPERSENSITIVITY

 The rewriting and falsification of history to create misconception,confusion and discontent towards Russia and her policies are rampant by various western and American foundations.Their agendas are of 3 kinds-1)discrediting soviet union and Russia as a whole,2)focusing on the areas of confrontation and ignoring/suppressing  the fact and incidents of harmony and co-existence for centuries,3)Giving boost to ultra nationalism, medieval identities and separatist ideas.Along with this the western and American powers are showing hypersensitivity towards various Russian issues over exaggerating the reality-their intention is to establish that Russia as a non-transparent country without law and to show heinous crimes only happen in Russia and nowhere in Europe or usa.Sergei magnitsky case,Russian adoption ban have been shown in bad light to vilify Russian image as a whole completely ignoring the fact that how magnitsky helped to steal Russian money,how Russian children are ill treated in the united states.The utterly gross falsification and distortion of the facts by american and European govt,media houses,academicians are running in the full swing in our today’s world of information.

 SELECTIVE NEWS FOLLOWING

There are lots of positives happens to Russia domestically and internationally but the spotlight focuses only on negative incidents to establish Russia as a land of negatives with no positivity. The social and print media of west and usa tirelessly building the negative image of Russia with great design. It is difficult to find good news of Russia in a positive way in the media world of west and usa.This is the ample proof how the information war against Russia is being conducted with high precision.

SENSATIONALIZING MAFIA STATE AND RUSSIAN SPY CONCEPT

There is a growing tendency among western and American media,thinkers,political elite to term Russia as a mafia state. This is probably the most destructive distortion of reality.Yes,Russia had utter lawlessness after fall of soviet union, but from Putin’s era it continuously recovered and the law and order situation has become much alike Europe. If someone visits today’s Russia,he or she will realize what is the current reality. That does not mean there is no mafia or gangster in Russia, but it is like anywhere in the world. Doesn’t USA or west have crime bosses, mafias?The situation is almost normal. But what is being preached in negative tone by western or American media is one of the greatest lies.Espionage,spy-are not the product of cold war or product of today’s Russia. They were/are in every country in this world since the creation of ruling system. Does foreign intelligence agencies of USA or west employ spy? Certainly yes! So accusing Russia and creating fear about Russian spy are almost nonsense. The west and USA deliberately tagged the two words –spy and mafia with Russian identity through their expanded media and propaganda machinery.

 

SUPPORTING ANTI-RUSSIAN THINK TANKS

The trend of supporting anti-Russian  writers,authors,media persons  and think tanks are also an important factor of the information campaign led by the west and united states.They are placed  in lucrative post in various organizations to formulate and propagate anti-russian campaign by using various means.These think tanks tend to influence govt decisions and public opinion in case of Russia and her policy essentially in a negative manner so that Russia remains as an eternal bad soul.

 USING DISSIDENTS AND RUSSIAN DIASPORA

Unfortunately Russian dissidents and Russian diaspora are/were  one of  the greatest enemies of Russia throughout the decades as they dance on western and American money and many of them have evil intentions to come into power and work as western and American agents.Russian diaspora especially in western Europe and usa are engaged in anti-russian propaganda campaign with no moral ideas and values.They were never Russians but like wolves in sheep skin.Late Boris Berezovsky type people is the perfect  example of that.Oligarchs who steal Russian money,the people who embezzle govt funds,the persons who are convicted corrupt criminals are/were being given asylum by American and western govts so that they could be used against the authorities as Russians speaking against Russia are much more reliable than the foreigners speaking against Russia.Many of the non-resident Russians work as foreign spies who are also part of various non-govt organizations and media groups.This is how they are used as a tool of western and American propaganda campaign against Russia.

 BLOCKING INVESTMENTS

Blocking Russian interest and investments by using various legal and extra-judicial method has become routine affair of western and American powers.It serves in two  ways-1)it creates misconception about Russian companies and brands,2)it creates fear and apathy towards Russia by foreign investors.Russia, in this situation, has to suffer both in economic and media image front.

 Conclusion

Russia will have to confront this campaign using media resources and through people to people contact and by promoting Russian language and culture abroad. In the coming days those negative campaign may be intensified by hostile forces but an united true nation state can sustain.Russia needs to allow some kind of pro-Russian private media houses for image make-over. Russia needs to create channels like discovery, animal planet,TLC to broaden the presence in the media world. RT,Voice of Russia are good initiatives but Russia needs aggressive showcasing of Russian ideas and culture which is till date not adequate.Russia needs to create own international dailies/prestigious magazines  not funded from foreign land. RBTH and The Moscow news like web media should be given preference. The presence in social media especially in English speaking web and media world should be much more prominent. Russia has goodwill among Asians,Africans,latin Americans in a big way as Russia always stood by the oppressed. Russia must protect it’s interest modestly in all spheres including the world of information war and negative propaganda campaign.

BEHIND NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR CRISIS AND RHETORIC

The recent nuclear spat between North Korea and the United States seems to be getting critical day by day. But experts suggests in spite of strong anti-American rhetoric north Korea will not go for suicide and the united states in spite of it’s  strategic deployment of various weapons including missile defense shield in Guam is not keen to have any kind of serious conflict with DPRK.The reasons are obvious-if north Korea uses nuclear arsenal against the united states, it will ultimately take it to stone age by American retaliation and if united states strikes first, then north Korean retaliation would cause serious damage to American forces, mainland America may remain secure but neighboring south korea,japan which are allies of united states will be the worst sufferers. So we can say safely that both of the countries are walking on the tight rope. International community including the UN wants to see truce and peaceful settlement of the conflict but till now little sign of pacification of the situation is prevailing. After many years of Cuban missile crisis between former Soviet Union and USA, world is experiencing peculiar nuclear standoff between two hostile nations.

 

But the reality is something different and behind the scenes there are other game plans and calculations are going on. Let us discuss one by one.

 

Chinese calculation-As china wants to become the next super power though Chinese doctrine tells about peaceful rise, nobody knows whether china is behind the muscle flexing of North Korean leadership. Moderate Chinese military movement along north Korea-china border is being seen. China wants to contain the United States in Asia pacific region to overcome future American invasion. The Chinese leadership is nervous about American presence and they are rightly suspicious about American intention in Asia pacific. Chinese navy in coming days may face tough challenges and open provocation which may lead to any kind of regional conflict which is not acceptable for the Asian Dragon.

 

American angle-The United States policymakers does not hide their intention to contain china in Asia pacific region. For that reason using the UN Security Council, they have managed to isolate North Korea generating further provocation. This serves two purposes-1)if usa can invade North Korea then usa will have the chance to unite north and south Korea(this is the long term American goal and south Korean intention) to form a single country which will by default become American ally and would serve as an American military base. That means USA and NATO would be able to encircle china in more effective manner.2)USA and it’s allies will be able to control Chinese sea trade rout which is considered one of the major headache of west and USA.If china is contained then automatically Russia will be contained indirectly. That means american domination will continue forever.This theory seems to be more reliable than other assumptions.

 

North Korean desperation-As North Korea has become much more isolated politically and economically, the North Korean regime is at the verge of bankruptcy. If they want to retain their support base among public they need strong posturing suggesting the regime has not yet collapsed despite severe international pressure. The North Korean leadership has another clever plan to draw international attention and extract some kind of potential leverage. It is because the leadership is well aware about the fact that the international community including it’s neighbors are not eager to go for armed conflicts at this moment for various reasons including economic crisis. If this situation brings some kind f mediation effort and dialogues on board then the influence of sanction would be somehow reduced allowing the regime to have hard currency and sufficient food supply.

 

South Korean Intention-South Korea intends to build a unified nation which is possible if North Korea losses the war and also South Korea wants to remain out of Chinese influence. South Korea also provokes North Korea by inviting joint exercises with the United States and American bases. Many North Korean dissidents including civil rights activists are used by South Korean authorities to destabilize the North. If North Korea does not exist, then South Korea will not need to conduct expensive propaganda campaign against the north. But South Korea also is not interested to see nuclear war as from Japanese experience they know very well how the nuclear radiation would affect it’s generations to come.

 

 The time has made us stand before a serious question,whether we want our civilization to go one step ahead and whether we can strip off our hypocrisy. If the five members of United Nations have the right to have nuclear weapons and nuclear technologies why the other sovereign nation states will not have the same right? Is economic sanction a real solution for everything? The situation is all about mind game and posturing and we hope this will not escalate further. Different players have different calculations but our primary concern should be confined into saving human lives which is precious than any nuclear or conventional weapon. We need to get rid of crime and original sin.
