Everything One Needs To Know.

In many respects America's fate, even despite an economic calamity of a gigantic scale, was contingent upon bringing justice to those who unleashed unprecedented, historically, witch-hunt and mass-psychosis campaign. Anyone with an average IQ and even fleeting acquaintance with principles on which law operates knew and know where and who all those Russia, Ukraine and other "Gates" originated from. Well, it doesn't matter, evidently. 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General William Barr said on Monday he does not expect a Justice Department review of the FBI's handling of 2016 election interference to lead to criminal investigation of former President Barack Obama or former Vice President Joe Biden. "As to President Obama and Vice President Biden, whatever their level of involvement, based on the information I have today, I don't expect Mr. Durham's work will lead to a criminal investigation of either man," Barr said.

Sad, but totally expected, to be honest.  Barr, however, made some clarifications:

Barr did not rule out the possibility of others being criminally investigated, without offering specifics.

We'll see about that, which, I am a bit on a shaky ground here, since Barr's statement is not born out by the reality:

Barr added that the election should be decided strictly on policy debates, and that any investigation of a political candidate would need to be approved by him personally. "We cannot allow this process to be hijacked by efforts to drum up criminal investigations of either candidate," Barr said.

Well, sure, we all know that Biden sonny's, Hunter, tenure with Ukrainian Burisma had nothing to do, like really-really nothing, with the fact of his senile cretin-father being Ukraine's Gauleiter not only on Obama's orders (Obama always was an amateur in foreign relations, not that there are any professionals in them in D.C. nowadays, but still) but on his own volition, being also an architect of a bloody coup and war there, having blood of thousands of innocent people on his wandering hands. This is not to mention that this coward is now hiding from exposure for his sexual exploits and, once those 2020 "elections" begin to delve into, quoting Barr, "policy debate" (Good ol' Joe cannot, fvcking orient himself in space-time continuum, let alone have "policy debates") we all can be 100% sure that sexual history of Joe will hit the "printing presses" of partisan media. So much for the "policy debate". But, as we all know, the land of the "laws" doesn't really hold up that well under the closer scrutiny. Evidently prosecuting corruption (sedition and treason is also not biggy anymore, evidently) in the US nowadays is contingent merely on who holds and how much power and influence. As Larison reports:

The president announced on Friday that he was firing Steve Linick, the State Department’s Inspector General. One possible reason that Linick was removed may have been that he was conducting an investigation into the bogus emergency declaration that the administration used to expedite arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the UAE last year. 

Say it ain't so! Come on, we all know that Mike Pompeo... oh, wait:

If Linick was investigating the bogus emergency declaration, he would have come across reporting that showed how a former Raytheon lobbyist serving at the department was instrumental in pushing through the plan to expedite arms sales that benefited his old employer. He would have discovered that there was no genuine emergency that justified going around Congress. Once his investigation was concluded, it would have found that the emergency declaration was made in bad faith and that the law was abused so that the administration could proceed with arms sales that Congress opposed. Another reason for the firing was to protect Mike Pompeo from an investigation into the Secretary’s abuses of government resources for personal purposes.

We all know that a person who openly states that he "lied, cheated and stole" for a living as CIA's big honcho, is being truthful. How can anyone doubt Pompeo's truthfulness? Reality of the American political discourse, however, is such that one cannot stop wondering if any normal, not damaged mentally, people are left in D.C. I am sure many people around the globe ask the same question. American political "elites" today represent a gruesome picture. All politics, everywhere is a dirty business, always was and often it did attract people with serious psychological, if not psychiatric, problems. There is an excellent work titled The Psychological Assessment of Political Leaders: With Profiles of Saddam Hussein and Bill Clinton. It is long and, at times, tedious read including delving into this proverbial psychobabble, but it is unequivocal in singling out narcissism as one of the main features of Western politicians. Lust for power and narcissism. It is in the foundation of the explanation to the phenomenon of American politics driven by non-stop lowbrow "election cycle" circus. 

Once "look good" triumphs over all other considerations, the political class and its subservient media are doomed and so is the nation this political class pretends to lead. I am on record for years, that the only things US political class knows how to do is to "look good", unless they are caught in corruption or sexual scandal. And that is the problem--they are not caught often enough and this is everything one needs to know about present moment.      

The Story of US "Foreign Policy".

No comments are necessary. US has NO own foreign policy, it has only outside manipulators and serves their interests.  

 

This Is A Real Wowser.

The United States is, obviously, run by the Ukrainian diaspora. The name of one of the "concerned officials" has become known and he is:

In his testimony in the House impeachment inquiry Tuesday, Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman, the top Ukraine expert on the National Security Council, is expected to describe his concerns with how the Trump administration handled Ukraine policy and with a July call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. "In the Spring of 2019, I became aware of outside influencers promoting a false narrative of Ukraine inconsistent with the consensus views of the interagency," he says in his prepared opening remarks, which were obtained by NPR. "This narrative was harmful to U.S. government policy. While my interagency colleagues and I were becoming increasingly optimistic on Ukraine's prospects, this alternative narrative undermined U.S. government efforts to expand cooperation with Ukraine."

And who this Lt.Colonel Vindman really is? Get a load of this! I cannot emphasize strongly enough what a madhouse this whole situation is. I will omit here any speculations or, for that matter, legitimate assumptions I know will be true, but I will just say this: this explains a lot, I mean a lot, in the madness which is called US foreign policy. If Canada's foreign policy is openly subverted by Canada's Ukrainian diaspora with a very heavy Banderista element present in it, hence rabid Russophobia and ignoring of Neo-nazism. Now, the United States has a whole family working deep in the US National Security apparatus who decided, unsurprisingly, in favor of any policy which sabotages any Russian-American contacts and improvement of relations. 

Hm, what does this remind me of? Ah, Polish, Romanian and other Eastern European diasporas in the US which played a crucial role in NATO expansion, thus ensuring that West will not have normal relations with Russia. 

Ukraine, destabilized by the Obama's admin and now turned into a hammer against Russia, granted poor and mentally unstable, is just another step in both American and Ukrainian Russophobia. Now, once this Ukrainian (most likely Jewish) family with the US citizenship is exposed as being deep inside US National Security establishment and close to POTUS the scenario becomes evident. As this Vindman himself states:

          The Geopolitical Importance of Ukraine

Since 2008, Russia has manifested an overtly aggressive foreign policy, leveraging military power and employing hybrid warfare to achieve its objectives of regional hegemony and global influence. Absent a deterrent to dissuade Russia from such aggression, there is an increased risk of further confrontations with the West. In this situation, a strong and independent Ukraine is critical to U.S. national security interests because Ukraine is a frontline state and a bulwark against Russian aggression. In spite of being under assault from Russia for more than five years, Ukraine has taken major steps towards integrating with the West. The U.S. government policy community's view is that the election of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the promise of reforms to eliminate corruption will lock in Ukraine's Western-leaning trajectory, and allow Ukraine to realize its dream of a vibrant democracy and economic prosperity.

I hope you understand now, that the United States is ungovernable entity entirely corrupted by the external ethnic, from predominantly Jewish AIPAC neo-cons, to Gulfies to Ukraine, influences--all in some form are present through lobbies to direct positions (Victoria Nuland, anyone?) in government. They are also people detached from reality, as testimony of this "American" officer demonstrates. Here is a conclusion of this "strategist".

The United States and Ukraine are and must remain strategic partners, working together to realize the shared vision of a stable, prosperous, and democratic Ukraine that is integrated into the Euro-Atlantic community. Our partnership is rooted in the idea that free citizens should be able to exercise their democratic rights, choose their own destiny, and live in peace. It has been a great honor to serve the American people and a privilege to work in the White House and on the National Security Council. I hope to continue to serve and advance America's national security interests.

I guess, at this stage the United States deserves everything what comes to it. Having people who drive the US towards direct conflict with Russia in US "national security" is a first sign of mental degeneration of US political, military and intelligence institutions. Did I mention that Mr. Vindman... ah, read it yourself:

When I joined the White House's National Security Council ("NSC"), I reported to Dr. Fiona Hill, who in turn reported to John Bolton, the National Security Advisor.

That doesn't require any additional elaborations. At this stage, after this "revelations" about who and how shapes US foreign so called policy, it becomes clear that the United States caught rabid disease of insanity from Ukraine, but I think it is all for the better for the rest of the world, especially Eurasia, which will be protected from the Empire which is imploding as I type this. The United States has no credibility left no matter what administration, the patients are now fully in charge of the asylum. But then again, there are no other people out there, just the ones who we can observe openly and that is a real wowser.  

UPDATE. Ah, Arctic Fox gave me link to NYT on Mr. Vindman, but it was behind pay-wall and I am not paying a dime of my money to this NY rag, but then I heard Laura Ingram commenting on this issue a lo and behold: buried in NYT piece on this American "hero" is the information that this dude advised Ukrainians on how best deal with Rudi Guliani. WTF? This is the guy who serves in NSC staffer position, two steps in command away from National Security Advisor. Wow! I am not 100% sure about espionage charge but isn't there a real conflict of interests for a person who has the highest security clearance allowed in the land? At least that should be a red flag, but since we are getting fuller and fuller, and curioser and curioser, picture of RussiaGate which transformed into the UkraineGate, I wonder when the wrap up will start? Somebody must go behind bars, it is clear now.
