Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
The Russian Embassy in Washington has prepared an accurate 121-page report, THE RUSSIAGATE HYSTERIA: A CASE OF SEVERE RUSSOPHOBIA. https://washington.mid.ru/upload/iblock/3c3/3c3d1e3b69a4c228e99bfaeb5491ecd7.pdf
Everyone should read this report. It documents the fake news, lies, violations of diplomatic standards and international law, and gratuitous aggressive actions taken against Russia during the period beginning May 18, 2016 and continuing through the issuance of the Mueller Report.
Without explicitly saying so, the report shows that neither the US government nor the American media has a nanoparticle of integrity. Both are criminal organizations that are willing to risk war with Russia in their pursuit of narrow policitized agendas.
This is important information for Americans and the rest of the world to have. Every person, every government and every private organization that supports Washington’s Russiaphobic policies is contributing to the growing threat of nuclear war.
One hopes also that the entirety of the Russian government, media, and population also read the report as it has equally powerful messages for Russia. The messages are no doubt unintended, but they nevertheless emerge from the embassy’s report.
The Russian government should marvel at its naivete in trusting Washington, US institutions such as Citibank, and US adherence to international law. For 121 pages the report lists transgression against Russia followed by transgression and lie followed by lie; yet the Russian government continued to send diplomatic notes that are never answered, requests for meetings that are never answered, requests for evidence that are never answered. One would think that month after month of abuse would have caused the Russian government to wonder where was the intelligence, “cooperative spirit,” reason, and “common interest in global security” that Russia’s responses to Washington assumed were present in Russia’s “partner.”
The Russian government’s naive and gullible response to Washington played into Washington’s hands. By responding to Washington’s orchestrated Russiaphobia as if it were some kind of mistake based on bad information, the Russian government allowed Washington to keep the process of demonization alive and thereby contributed to the ongoing demonization of Russia. If, instead, the Russian government had denounced the demonization of Russia as Washington’s act of preparing Americans for war with Russia and had taken a belligerant rather than a complaining stance, the realization that Washington’s policy had serious cost would have spread throughout the US and Europe and voices would have arisen against Washington’s dangerous and reckless policy. Today in place of the uniformity of voice against Russia, there would be dissent opposing Washington’s irresponsible provocations.
The danger of Russian self-delusion is not over. The embassy’s report expresses the hope that now that the Mueller report has concluded that the much heralded collusion has no basis in fact, relations between Washington and Russia can be normalized and cooperation achieved.
There is no such possibility. The Democrats are screaming “coverup” and demanding the resignation of attorney general Barr and Trump’s impeachment. The presstitutes are claiming that the Mueller report vindicates their reporting. Trump continues to use US foreign policy to commit criminal acts. He has declared that the president of Venezuela is the person he picked, not the one Venezuelans elected. He has given to Israel part of Syria as if Syrian territory is his to give. He threatens Iran with war as Israel requires. In other words, American arrogance rises to ever higher heights.
At some point the Russian government and Russian people are going to have to accept the fact that to reach an understanding with Washington Russia must either surrender her sovereignty or become as belligerent as Washington and replace Russia’s useless refutations of Washington’s accusations with accusations of her own. Otherwise, Washington is going to keep pushing until war is the only possible outcome.

And yet, the Russians have failed to rat themselves out with respect to Uranium 1.
But Americans remain insouciant. Until the first nuke is fired. Then Maybe they will understand. Fucking Neo-Cons. I’ve had a good life and will in the afterlife after accepting Jesus. But I pray for my sons, what kind of world are they going to inherit. It’s killing me. This is no longer GB or America, this is the death of the West. Camp of the Saints. God help us. I need more ammo.
Suppose they gave a war and nobody came.
The interest by rational thinkers of normalizing relations with Russia, along with the focus on shoring up our borders and stop fighting everybody else’s war, could be a reasonable position for most Americans to take. To take a step back would allow us to work on our own problems and strengthen America that could usher in a stability and a healing the nation so dearly needs.
But there appear to be dark forces moving us in the opposite direction. Whether trying to turn back the clock to a bygone time ( lets say the 50’s), or fast forwarding the nation into acceptance of becoming a part of a one world government, they hunger for the chaos that would allow them to transform America.
The dark forces appear to be in the drivers seat and they are not letting up on the accelerator. The mysterious evil behind the Las Vegas slaughter, the destroying of a national treasure in France and the silencing the voices of truth that are being denied access to the public, are all moving effortlessly forward in their quest to transform America into something it never was.
And apparently, all we can do is shake our heads and remember the way things were, as the world heads ever closer to the wood chipper.
When did PCR take up the mantle of being a Prophet??
‘m only asking because he has been WRONG so many times before …. and I’m wondering when he will suffer the fate of False Prophets (which is death).
We are not going to enter into a hot war with Russia. That’s my prophecy. If I’m wrong … please use very small rocks when you stone me.
That being said, here is a new article written by Alastair Crooke —– Will Israel-Loving Evangelicals Spur the US to War? Russia Is Taking Precautions
It’s long, but a good informative read. The article is critical of Christian Right (especially Zionists), Israel, and Trump’s abilities and knowledge as it pertains to nuclear war. So, do not read it if you are a Trumpeteer. While I am still in the “no hot war with Russia” camp — this article makes a very convincing argument that Midnight Hour on the Doomsday Clock is closer than ever.

Good post Stucky, thanks.
we must continue to hate the russians, I know because peter shiff and jerry nadler tell me, in no uncertain terms, that they are the reason why the president was able to steel the election from our saving lady of grace, queen hillary.
Oh good queen hillary, if she were our fearless leader, then all would be well with the empire,
and that demon putin would be roasting on a spit, over the fires of hades, like his good buddy Qaddaffi duck. She would have sent in stork and page to set up putin, with stories of him pissing on merkels face, while macron caught the excess, all filmed by brennan, archived by clapper, and broadcast on cnn.
