Total Loss of Integrity and Credibility

Most commentators would argue that America had lost its credibility as a Republic and a bastion of democracy, liberty and freedom long before the Balkan intervention, however, we could safely assert that the Balkan intervention was the beginning of the new wave of American permanent war foreign policy (codified as PNAC) as the US was now free of Soviet interference and could safely attack former Soviet allies without too much concern for the consequences.

But the watershed moment that triggered global disillusionment with America occurred during the currently unfolding Ukraine intervention.

Like a demented drunk that constantly repeats a phrase or rhyme, Washington began claiming that Russia had breached international law regarding Ukraine sovereignty and the annexation of territories; notwithstanding the completely bloodless takeover of the Crimea (why call it anything else?) The Crimea has always been of critical strategic importance to Russia, which could never allow the region to fall into the hands of forces that oppose Russia.

A train of events was set in motion the culmination of which now staggers the popular imagination. I refer to Washington's discourse saturated with flagrant double standards, searing HYPOCRISY and brazen, naked LIES that Obama and Kerry are making against Putin over his expected stance on the Crimea.

Heads of shop dummies became animated when shop TVs broadcast Obama and Kerry making the most ludicrous statements about Russia’s bloodless annexation of the Crimea; people everywhere began to put ‘two and two’ together and come up with the obvious answer that America was a deceptive, law flouting, mass murdering renegade nation bent on plundering the wealth of vulnerable weaker nations and preventing other competing nations, especially Russia and China, from becoming too powerful to contend with. Simply key-in the word Ukraine in the left column search box of this site to obtain a detailed account of the hypocrisy and double standards of Obama and Kerry.

Who benefited from America's illegal interventions around the globe and what if anything did these interventions have in common? To answer the second part of the question first, RESOURCES and/or strategic pipeline corridors for the delivery of energy resources to users or ports for overseas shipment. Who benefits, well that is easy, the corporations that deal in energy resources.

It becomes plain that these so-called ‘humanitarian interventions’ were merely pretexts designed to facilitate military invasions/occupations and the theft of valuable resources regardless of the cost in human lives.

America’s reputation takes a nose dive.

The reality behind the transparent bullshit becomes apparent. America’s foreign and domestic policies have been purposely tailored to accommodate the avaricious Corporations -- in other words the corporations in effect rule America and the direction the White House takes.

Welcome to non-democratic Corporatist America, world!

The grotesque bottom line is this: ALL the illegal wars of mass murder, destruction and resource theft that America has waged over the past fifteen years are for the express benefit of the very few that dictate foreign policy and the direction America takes as a nation. The past fifteen years is a record of infamy, holocausts, unprecedented infanticide, gross violations of international law and conventions and breaches of a multitude of local and international laws. The inescapable conclusion is stark -- America is the WORLD'S LEADING CIVILIAN KILLING, therefore CRIMINAL TERRORIST, NATION without peer in the magnitude and frequency of its overt crimes and offences against nature and civilised society everywhere.

As a consequence of the above it follows that whatever 'information' issues from the press corps of Washington, its allies and the lying mouths of puppet politicians, [it] is as far from TRUTH as night is from day!
