globalresearch | I have long believed that the core hatred of
Russia comes from the neocons and is to a large extent tribal or, if you
prefer, ethno-religious based. Why? Because if the neoconservatives
were actually foreign policy realists there is no good reason to express
any visceral dislike of Russia or its government. The allegations that
Moscow interfered in the 2016 presidential election in the U.S. are clearly a sham,
just as are the tales of the alleged Russian poisoning of the Skripals
in Winchester England and, most recently, the claimed assassination of
journalist Arkady Babchenko
in Kiev which turned out to be a false flag. Even the most cursory
examination of the past decade’s developments in Georgia and Ukraine
reveal that Russia was reacting to legitimate major security threats
engineered by the United States with a little help from Israel and
others. Russia has not since the Cold War ended threatened the United
States and its ability to re-acquire its former Eastern European
satellites is a fantasy. So why the hatred?
In fact, the
neocons got along quite well with Russia when they and their
overwhelmingly Jewish oligarchs and international commodity thieves cum
financier friends were looting the resources of the old Soviet Union
under the hapless Boris Yeltsin during the 1990s.
Alarms about the alleged Russian threat only re-emerged in the neocon
dominated media and think tanks when old fashioned nationalist Vladimir
Putin took office and made it a principal goal of his government to turn off the money tap.
With the looting
stopped by Putin, the neocons and friends no longer had any reason to
play nice, so they used their considerable resources in the media and
within the halls of power in places like Washington, London and Paris to
turn on Moscow. And they also might have perceived that there was a
worse threat looming. The Putin government appeared to be resurrecting
what the neocons might perceive as pogrom plagued Holy Russia! Old
churches razed by the Bolsheviks were being rebuilt and people were
again going to mass and claiming belief in Jesus Christ. The former Red
Square now hosts a Christmas market while the nearby tomb of Lenin is
only open one morning in the week and attracts few visitors.
I would like to
suggest that it is quite possible that the historically well-informed
neocons are merely longing for the good old Bolshevik days in Russia.
The fact is that much of Bolshevik state atheism was driven by the large
overrepresentation of Jews in the party in its formative days. British
journalist Robert Wilton’s meticulously researched 1920 study “The Last Days of the Romanovs” describes how David R. Francis, United States ambassador in Russia, warned in a January 1918 message to Washington that
“The Bolshevik leaders here, most of whom are Jews and 90 percent of whom are returned exiles, care little for Russia or any other country but are internationalists and they are trying to start a worldwide social revolution.”
Dutch Ambassador William Oudendyke echoed that sentiment, writing that
“Unless Bolshevism is nipped in the bud immediately, it is bound to spread in one form or another over Europe and the whole world as it is organized and worked by Jews who have no nationality, and whose one object is to destroy for their own ends the existing order of things.”
Russia’s greatest twentieth century writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn,
feted in the west for his staunch resistance to Soviet
authoritarianism, suddenly found himself friendless by the media and
publishing world when he wrote “Two Centuries Together: A Russo-Jewish
History to 1972”, recounting some of the dark side of the Russian-Jewish experience.
In particular, Solzhenitsyn cited the significant overrepresentation of
Russian Jews both as Bolsheviks and, prior to that time, as
serf-owners.
