Peter Koenig\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peter Koenig talked to the Voice of Russia about the crisis in Ukraine, the biased coverage of the Western media and the \u201cmeaningless\u201d threats of sanctions issued by the Obama administration. Peter Koenig is an economist and former World Bank staff. He worked extensively around the world in the fields of environment and water resources.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Before we start discussing the threats issued by the Obama administration, could you share your impressions about the way the Western media covers Ukraine?<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Sadly, the \u201cpresstitute\u201d media have converted the western populace into mindless puppets, a brainwashed western population to the point of losing all sense of reality, of right and wrong; blinded to the point of screaming into the bullhorn of Washington\u2019s Assassin in Chief.<\/p>\n

Just to make sure that everyone understands what \u201cpresstitute\u201d means. According to Urban Dictionary it is \u201c\u00a0A term coined by Gerald Celente and often used by independent journalists and writers in the alternative media in reference to journalists and talking heads in the mainstream media who give biased and predetermined views in favor of the government and corporations, thus neglecting their fundamental duty of reporting news impartially. It is a portmanteau of press and prostitute.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Just look at today\u2019s article in the NYTimes on Mr. Putin\u2019s Press conference on Ukraine! It typically portrays its utmost disdain for President Putin \u2014 \u201cHe sat alone in an armchair, alternately slouching, his legs spread wide in confidence, and squirming uncomfortably.\u201d- and \u2014 \u201cHe demonstrated his characteristically uncanny grasp of detail in such matters as natural-gas pricing, but contradicted himself at times and wandered off into obscure historical digressions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NYT piece goes on \u2014 \u201cHe delivered a version of the crisis that was fundamentally at odds with the view held by most officials in the United States, Europe and Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Basically, the coverage is utterly biased and everything that doesn\u2019t fit into the Washington-approved narrative is disregarded.<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course the true version of the crisis is at odds with the western views. They are those of stooges of Washington, who are constantly manipulated by a war-mongering corporate media, paid for by the murderously interested US military industrial complex.<\/p>\n

The gentlemen diplomat, Mr. Putin, did not even mention how the west, driven by the US, has subverted Ukrainian democracy and organized a\u00a0coup d\u2019\u00c3\u00a9tat\u00a0. He didn\u2019t need to. After Madame Nuland\u2019s bragging statement that US spent more than 5 billion dollars to prepare Ukraine for \u2018regime change\u2019, made history around the world, it should be clear to every journalist present at the press conference, including the one Steven Lee Myers, who authored the biased and oozing of hatred NYT\u2019s article.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the emperor without clothes dares to rattle its toothless sabers. Their numbed minds can\u2019t imagine a reverse scenario, say Russia destabilizing Mexico in the emperor\u2019s \u2018backyard\u2019 (as Obama is infamously known to call Latin America), to install a puppet government of their liking. \u2014 Imagine!<\/p>\n
