GUERRA MUNDIAL À VISTA

22/05/2014 - Copyleft

Uma guerra mundial se aproxima

Com os postos avançados da OTAN localizados no Leste Europeu e

nos Bálcãs, o último amortecedor que faz fronteira com a Rússia está

sendo dividido.

Por que toleramos a ameaça de uma nova Guerra Mundial? 

Por que permitimos mentiras que justificam esse risco? 


A escala da nossa doutrinação, escreveu Harold Pinter, é um “brilhante, até espirituoso e altamente bem sucedido ato de hipnose,” como se a verdade “nunca tivesse acontecido mesmo quando está acontecendo.”

Todo ano, o historiador americano William Blum publica seu “sumário atualizado do relatório da polícia externa dos EUA” o qual mostra que, desde 1945, os EUA tentaram derrubar mais de 50 governos, muitos democraticamente eleitos; interferiu grossamente nas eleições de 30 países; bombardeou a civilização de 30 países; usou armas químicas e biológicas; e tentou assassinar líderes internacionais.
Em vários casos a Inglaterra colaborou. 


O nível do sofrimento humano, não só criminalmente falando, não é muito conhecido no Oeste, mesmo com a presença da comunicação mais avançada do mundo e do jornalismo mais ‘livre.’ Que as maiores vítimas do terrorismo – nosso terrorismo – são muçulmanos, é um fato.
Que o jihadismo extremo, que levou ao 11/9, foi nutrido como uma arma da polícia Anglo-Americana (Operação Ciclone no Afeganistão) é suprimido. Em abril o departamento de Estado dos EUA notou que, seguindo a campanha da OTAN em 2011, “Líbia se tornou um refúgio para os terroristas.”

O nome do “nosso” inimigo mudou com o passar dos anos, de comunismo para Islamismo, mas geralmente é qualquer sociedade independente do poder ocidental e que ocupa estrategicamente território útil ou rico em recursos. Os líderes dessas nações obstrutivas são violentamente postos de lado, como os democratas Muhammad Mossedeq no Irã e Salvador Allende no Chile, ou são mortos como Patrice Lumumba no Congo. Todos estão sujeitos a uma campanha midiática ocidental que os denigre e os caricatura – como Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez, agora Vladimir Putin.

O papel de Washington na Ucrânia é diferente somente nas suas consequências para o resto de nós. Pela primeira vez desde os anos de Reagan, os EUA estão ameaçando iniciar uma guerra. Com os postos avançados da OTAN no Leste Europeu e nos Bálcãs, o último “amortecedor” que faz fronteira com a Rússia está sendo dividido. Nós do Ocidente estamos apoiando os neonazistas em um país onde os nazistas ucranianos apoiaram Hitler.

Tendo arquitetado o golpe em Fevereiro contra o governo eleito democraticamente em Kiev, o confisco da histórica e legítima base naval de águas mornas Russa na Criméia, falhou. Os Russos se defenderam como fizeram contra qualquer ameaça e invasão vindos do oeste por quase um século.

Mas o cerco militar da OTAN acelerou, junto com os ataques americanos orquestrados aos russos étnicos na Ucrânia. Se Putin pode ser provocado até pedir auxílio, seu papel pré-ordenado de ‘alheio’ vai justificar uma guerrilha coordenada pela OTAN que, provavelmente, vai cair em próprio território russo.

Ao invés, Putin frustrou o partido da guerra quando estava procurando acomodação com Washington e a União Européia, retirando tropas da fronteira ucraniana e insistindo para que os russos étnicos ao Leste da Ucrânia abandonassem o referendo da semana. Essas pessoas que falam russo e os bilíngues – um terço da população ucraniana – tem solicitado há um tempo uma federação democrática que reflita as diversidades étnicas do país e que seja autônoma e independente de Moscou. A maioria não é nem separatista e nem rebelde, somente cidadãos que querem viver seguros em sua pátria.

Como as ruínas do Iraque e do Afeganistão, a Ucrânia se tornou um parque temático da CIA – dirigido pelo diretor da CIA, John Brennan, em Kiev, com ‘unidades especiais’ da CIA e do FBI criando uma ‘estrutura de segurança’ que fiscaliza possíveis ataques aos que se opuseram ao golpe em Fevereiro


Veja os vídeos, leia os relatórios das testemunhas do massacre em Odessa. Bandidos fascistas queimaram a sede do sindicato, matando 41 pessoas que estavam presas dentro. Assista a polícia ficar parada. Um médico disse tentar resgatar as pessoas, “mas fui impedido por pró-Ucrânia Nazistas radicais. Um deles me empurrou e disse que logo todos os judeus em Odessa teriam o mesmo destino. Me pergunto porque o mundo está em silêncio.

Ucranianos que falam Russo estão lutando para sobreviver. Quando Putin anunciou a retirada das tropas russas da fronteira, a secretária de defesa de Kiev – uma das fundadoras do partido fascista Svoboda – alertou que os ataques aos ‘insurgentes’ iriam continuar. De um jeito Orweliano, a propaganda no ocidente inverteu isso para Moscou “tentando orquestrar conflito e provocação,” de acordo com William Hague. Seu cinismo combina com o ‘parabéns’ nojento de Obama à junta do golpe pela sua ‘memorável repressão’ seguindo o massacre em Odessa. Ilegal e fascista, a junta é descrita por Obama como ‘devidamente eleita.’ O que importa não é a verdade, disse Henry Kissinger uma vez, mas sim o que se percebe como verdade.

Na mídia Americana, a atrocidade de Odessa tem sido chamada de ‘sombria’ e ‘tragédia’ na qual ‘nacionalidades’ (neonazistas) atacaram ‘separatistas’ (pessoas que coletavam assinaturas para o referendo na federação Ucraniana). O Wall Street Journal de Ruppert Murdoch condenou as vítimas – “incêndio mortal na Ucrânia foi iniciado por rebeldes, diz Governo.’ As propagandas na Alemanha vem sendo como na Guerra Fria, com o Frankfurter Allgemeine ¬Zeitung alertando seus leitores da guerra “não declarada” da Rússia. Para os alemães, é uma ironia Putin ser o único líder a condenar a ascensão do fascismo na Europa do século 21.

Um truísmo popular é que “o mundo mudou depois do 11/9”. Mas o que mudou? De acordo com Daniel Ellsberg, um golpe silencioso aconteceu em Washington e quem comanda agora é o militarismo excessivo. 

O Pentágono atualmente coordena as ‘operações especiais’ – guerras secretas – em 124 países.
Em casa, elevando a pobreza estão os corolários históricos de um estado em guerra perpétua. Adicione o risco de uma guerra nuclear, e a pergunta é: por que toleramos isso?

SOBRE OS PROTESTOS NO BRASIL - EM INGLÊS

submitted  ago by starmeleon
Hello comrades.
I am here to give you information about what is currently going on in Brazil. I am brazilian, born and raised in the city of São Paulo, where I am currently speaking to you from.
The first thing I will tell you is that you should not pay attention to what the rest of reddit is telling you about the protests, and from what I hear comrades around the world telling me about their media reports, do not listen to them either.
The protests which are currently going on are severely dynamic, but they have taken a definite turn towards fascism.
The context of the protest is as follows:
The initial wave of protests were organized by the MPL, Movimento Passe-Livre, which is an autonomist anarchist movement, based primarily in public universities. Their main goal is and always was free, public funded transportation. The protests were organized in response to (left-wing, social democrat/liberal PT Worker's Party) mayor Fernando Haddad's and (right-wing, conservative, social democrat in name only PSDB governor) Geraldo Alckimin's hikes in bus and metro fares.
The protests were instantly joined by communist parties PSTU, PSOL and PCB. The MPL, due their anarchist ideology, denounced party participation. This will become important later on.
The media, at first, launched a total offensive against the protests, accusing it of vandalism, and of being made-up by extreme leftists.This is a prime example. They justified the actions of the armed Military Police of Brazil (which is a Gendarme), which was, at the time, shooting rubber bullets at people's faces (which is lethal), beating up primarily women, using lots of tear gas and pepper spray to disperse the movement, as well as several intimidation tactics, such as baseless arrests (including the famous arrests for vinegar posession).
The media realized that despite all of their efforts, the movement had a popular agenda and had been garnering support accross progressive sections of the population. One very popular ultra-conservative pig-loving anchor attempted to ask the extremely loaded question to his viewers: do you support vandalism in ongoing protests? only to have his primarily reactionary audience humiliate him live by voting yes. The media, realizing they could no longer discredit the movement, and noticing that their most reactionary viewers were ready to take the street, switched strategies.
As I predicted in this post, the raging anti-communist pundit withdrew his previous opinion and started favoring the protests, but also started claiming that the protests were about "much more", and started to tell his viewers that the protests were about the long running list of anti-leftist complaints that were traditionally presented by the media against the left leaning worker's party and used electorally by the right-wing PSDB. The rest of the media did exactly the same thing. They even set up the narrative on the international level, using this video that became the means through which reddit became aware of the protests. This would later serve to legitimize the fascist coup in the eyes of the international audience.
Now here is the tricky part. As I said in a previous post about that particular video you will notice that there is nothing intrinsically socialist about the video. Socialists, just as much as conservatives, are loathe to corruption, wasteful spending and the degradation of public services. HOWEVER, this has to be looked at in the context that the media has built over the years that the semi-leftist PT government has been in the presidency of the country.
Maybe one example most socialists here will be more familiar with is the Venezuelan media and it's participation in the attempted 2002 coup against Hugo Chavez, who was a friend to pink-tide brazilian president Lula who was current president Dilma's predecessor. What was the Venezuelan media's strategy? To constantly pound on the viewer's minds the idea that all leftism is corrupt, to fabricate accusations daily and to create the general feeling of constant crisis. The same has been absolutely true of Brazilian media since 2000.
In fact, Rede Globo, which has the near-monopoly of TV audiences, which is owned by the billionaire heirs of Roberto Marinho, who had a personal fortune of 60 billion dollars, had previously attempted in 2007 to spark an artificial "popular" march against the PT government led by several celebrities on its payroll.
I SHOULD ALSO STRONGLY REMIND EVERYONE THAT THE 1964 MILITARY COUP WAS PRECEDED BY A MILLION STRONG REACTIONARY MARCH ON THE STATE OF GUANABARA ASKING FOR FASCISM AGAINST THE REFORMIST SOC-DEM JOÃO GOULART. So to those who are simply enamoured by any public protest thinking its impossible that the right can muster popular support, stop being so fucking naive.
Now, you're probably asking, "how can you suggest that the current protests are fascist? You're out of your mind!". Well you are reading this and you are probably not in Brazil, watching how giddy the media is with the whole thing. You are probably not aware that the agenda against "corruption" was suggested by the military chief of police when negotiating with MPL You are also probably not aware that the large majority of the opposition to the Worker's Party does not come from the radical left, as I wish it did, as MPL does, but it comes from PSDB and half of their electors are nostalgic of our fascist dictatorship. So they are going out there and asking for a new one.
The sign says "military intervention now. For the democratic government of civilians and military" which is, I'm sure, how he remembers the 1964-1986 period to be.
As I write this, thousands of right wing militants are BURNING RED FLAGS in Paulista Avenue and demanding the impeachment of brazilian president Dilma Roussef. These militants are those who think that democracy only exists when married to neoliberalism, so in her place they want to install PSDB or the brazilian equivalent of Pedro Carmona.
Many leftists are only now waking up to this fact, there have been some interesting attempts to make people aware of the oncoming fascist coup by some artists, which are conscious of the media and right wing hijacking of the initial protests.
Context: The toucan is the mascot for the right wing party. The other comic shows how the protest's agenda was hijacked by right wing demands.
Now, the leftist parties have attempted to reclaim their movement and to fight against the reactionary agenda which always masquerades as "apolitical" demands for the moralization of politics. The right wing and the media have as such appropriated the anarchist "anti-party" discourse to denounce the left-wing in the protests, and some radical right wingers are demanding the extinction of parties, much like the 1964 military dictatorship proceeded to do. MPL and the anarchists are failing to react to this and are fueling the right wing rhetoric.
There are also sections of the left which are too isolated in their group of friends and comrades to realize that the majority of people participating in the marches are not their friends. The majority of people joined in after the calls of reactionary media pundits. In many cities which the protests were not started by the left the protests are solely about the right wing protesting against left-politics. Do not be naive, communists would not gather up and protest near former president Lula's house.
Meanwhile, the Federation of Industries of São Paulo State (a business owner union, if there was ever full fascism in an organisation, its this one) is supporting the protests. The brazilian Pedro Carmona sharpens his fangs.
So I find it extremely upsetting that clueless redditors, especially those who claim to be socialist inclined, are basically providing international support for a fascist coup.
So when the judiciary, which the media has built up as the great moralizing institution, its hero being the Supreme Court Justice Joaquim Barbosa, does some kind of maneuver to oust the left-leaning Dilma Roussef in favor of elections or whatever that bring back the neo-liberal PSDB to power, the international community will be ready to validate the coup. I should remind you all that this is thetextbook tactic of 21st century fascism, as taught to us by Honduras.
Brazil is in danger of going fascist, and I am sick of clueless foreigners which find out about what is going on through some stupid youtube video sponsored by some think tank like the Millenium Group or by the brazilian equivalent of Miami Cubans and think that this is an overall positive development.
Reddit disgusts me.
