Made in USA: Democratic Navalni

by Manlio Dinucci

The Western Press films the challenger, Alexei Navalny: a Russian blogger funded by the NED/CIA. In addition to the fact that his audience is restricted to the middle class in Moscow and Saint-Petersburg, his visibility masks the genuine opposition within Russia: inside the Kremlin, a number of high officials miss the time when they were able to spend their week-ends in the West.

VOLTAIRE NETWORK | ROME (ITALY) | 29 MARCH 2017

A police officer smashes down the door with a portable battering ram; another one enters, pointing a pistol and strikes several times, a man who, roused by the storm in, reached for a baseball bat; yet other police officers point their guns at a child who has already raised his arms: scenes of ordinary “legal” violence in the United States, reported a week ago, with video clips by the New York Times, that talks about the “trail of blood” triggered by these “raids”, carried out by former soldiers, who have been recruited into the police force, applying the same raid techniques that would be applied in raids in Afghanistan or Iraq.

Our mass media shield our eyes from all this. These same media outlets splash on the front page [photos of] the Russian police arresting Alexei Navalni in Moscow for a demonstration that had not been authorized. An “affront to fundamental democratic values” – this is how the US State Department defines it and firmly requires his immediate release and that of the others detainees. Federica Mogherini, the EU High Representative of Foreign Policy, also condemns the Russian government because “it prevents the fundamental freedoms of expression and peaceful assembly from being exercised”. Thus, in support of the new champion of “democratic values”, everyone is united in the new campaign launched against Russia in tones that typify the Cold War.

Who is Alexei Navalni? From his official profile, we read that he trained in the US, at Yale University, as a “fellow” (a chosen member) of the “Greenberg World Fellows Program”. This programme was established in 2002, and each year, just 16 individuals with attributes that make them “global leaders” are selected from all around the world. They form part of a network of “leaders globally committed to making the world a better place”. At the moment, this network is composed of 291 fellows from 87 countries, one in contact with the other and all linked to the US centre, Yale.

Navalni is, at the same time, the co-founder of the movement “Alternative democracy”. This is one of the beneficiaries of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a powerful US “private non-profit foundation” which funds, which are even provided by the Congress, openly or under the counter, thousands of non-governmental organizations in more than 90 countries to “advance democracy” [1]. NED, a CIA outlet for covert operations, was and is, particularly active in Ukraine. It was here that it supported (according to what is reported) “the Maiden Square Revolution which crushed a corrupt government which stood in the way of democracy”. The result of the Maiden Square Putsch: an even more corrupt government has come into power. Indeed, its democratic character finds expression in the Neo-Nazis that hold key positions in it.

In Russia, activities of “undesirable non-governmental organizations” is prohibited and this is why NED has not stopped campaigning against the Russian government. Thus NED accuses it of spearheading an aggressive foreign policy to bring within its sphere of influence, states that previously formed part of the USSR. This charge is the foundation of the basis for the US/Nato strategy against Russia. The technique, now consolidated, is that of the “orange revolutions”: gaining mileage on the back of genuine or invented cases of corruption and other bones of dissatisfaction so as to whip up an anti-government rebellion, which will weaken the state from within, while increasing military, political and economic pressure externally. Alexei Navalni’s activities should be viewed in this context. He specialized at Yale as a lawyer, defending the rights of the vulnerable against abuse by the powerful.

America has become enamoured with its status for over a century, and loves, as "A People" our elevated status in the world. Few Americans have read our constitution, far fewer believe it remains the "rule of law over government", and have accepted the government narrative, "the constitution is the basis of law, we, government, will impose upon The People", and as the "government's", we will interpret it as official.
We allowed our "one room school houses" to die off, my great grandfather entered first grade in one, after serving two years in the Army, in the Spanish-American war, at 20 or so, graduating 8th grade, the equivalent of High School in my own day.
We killed private schools, except for institutional ones, 120 years ago, for the express purpose of instituting "federally governed correct learning", to ensure "making the world safe for democracy" would become our "watch-word", despite its criminal connotations.
The U.S. spearheaded conventions establishing laws of war, unlawful warfare, and lawful warfare, yet it will abide by no constraint, as it wages wars, for the sole purpose of maintaining hegemony, and keeping the dollar alive.
When it all comes crashing down, most Americans will expect the government to fix everything, refusing, even at the last, to acknowledge, government drove us down. Fools are easily led, and even intelligent people can be caught in their own special perspective, and be led.
I stayed in the Marines, precisely because of the wars that were "coming", and the lack of experienced, moral leadership, necessary in any war, but far more, in those of aggression. I had no desire for war, I saw all I needed, in Beirut, over summer of 82, and winter 82-83.
Killing others is not a good thing, it is barely tolerable, when executing an evil person, having demonstrated no respect for life. It is the worst of experiences when one is tied to one side, yet it is the other side, in need of defense.
Those who have followed Ron Paul for his career, know him to be perhaps the single most connected politician, with moral standards, and laudable principles. I stayed in, precisely because he stood alone, except for the millions of Americans and others, who loved him for his courage.
For those whom truth is a "variable" there is no inconsistency in call "the kettle black", even as a pot, black as the kettle. We walked away from God as a Country, what is left is a small coterie of Christians, who remain tied to The Christ, and refuse to sell out their souls.
Choosing to refute God means accepting anything at all, as reason, logic, moral, those who do so, are left with "their physical body and existence", and no cause to elevate themselves above momentary demands of the flesh. We declared God dead, in Time Magazine, some forty odd years ago. Since then, every aspect of human flesh has become worthy of interest, investigation, and bizzare propositions, in particular, the gender thing.
We once made fun of those who spent time "arguing over how many angels could dance on the head of a pin", finding them ridiculous, spending time over such an inane objective.
Today, perhaps the greatest number ever postulated for angels on a pin, is the baseline for gender variants. Those the Gods will destroy, they will drive mad first.
