The western presstitute media are relentlessly reporting about the kidnapped monitors of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE); kidnapped by pro-Russian protesters, allegedly helped by Russian special forces.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The truth is that the captured monitors are in fact NATO military intelligence officers, sent to the Ukraine under the guise of the OSCE.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Russia was not consulted on these NATO \u2018observers\u2019, although Russia is a member of the OSCE. In no case do the media distinguish between the 150 or so legitimate OSCE civilian observers, including Russians, and the illegal NATO spies.\u00a0Global Research<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the many reasons for Washington to justify a direct confrontation with Russia over Ukraine, is that\u00a0Mr. Putin hasn\u2019t done enough to free the NATO spies.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The ridiculous \u2018sanctions\u2019, as Obama knows very well, are of course not enough to keep the US economy (sic) going. On the other hand, a war or armed conflict \u2014 or a new Cold War\u2014 might sustain the US economy for a while.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face it, the US economy is as dependent on the military and security industrial complex \u2014 the War Machine \u2014 as a drug addict is on drugs. Without the drugs the addict collapses. American military expenditures are more than those of the rest of the world together and amount to about 50% of the US budget.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Without war and WMD the United States of America collapses \u2014 and along with its sick economy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Poverty in the US is rampant.<\/span><\/p>\n

60 million children go to bed hungry every night (Department of Agriculture);<\/span><\/p>\n

The real level of unemployment is above 20%; people without health insurance and dependent on food stamps or other food assistance amount to about 40 million. The American empire is at a point of no return. Peace is America\u2019s greatest enemy.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore no lie and propaganda is brazen enough to brainwash the western public, especially the Europeans, into believing the only way to save the West, meaning Europe, is to involve Russia in an armed conflict, to basically annihilate their economy, to the level it was at the end of WWII, or even after Cold War I.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us not forget, the end game for the American Oligarchs is encircling Russia and China to obtain full control of the world and its resources. A weak Russia and an intimidated China would make the task towards a One World Order easier. As a reminder \u2014 today about 50% of the US Navy fleet is already stationed along China\u2019s East and Southern Coast, to be increased to 60% within a year.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Europeans are awaking. If not they should. Germany would have most to lose from a war. They are not only virtually the go-between; they are also geographically and economically caught in the middle. Though when listening to the German Foreign Minister, one could believe that he is oblivious to the gravity of the situation for his country, as he is still aping the emperor about \u2018sanctioning\u2019 Russia.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Another argument for US intervention is the ceaselessly repeated lies about Russia\u2019s special forces fighting alongside the pro-Russia Ukrainian faction, occupying public buildings and radio \/ TV station \u2014 conquering entire cities, like the city of\u00a0<\/span>Slavyansk. According to western propaganda, the new people\u2019s mayor of Slavyansk,\u00a0<\/span>VyacheslavPonomarev,<\/a><\/span>is no<\/span>thing but a figure head put in place by Moscow; all lies to further denigrate Russia and its leader.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The United States will unlikely risk interfering again (remember the 5 billion dollar investment for obtaining \u2018Regime Change\u2019 in Kiev) in the Ukraine. The emerging confrontation with Russia could willy-nilly result in a nuclear war. Obama knows that a first preventive strike by the US would still leave Russia with enough nuclear fire power to hit back and destroy most of what the elite thrives for.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

In the meantime, like a dying beast, the US destroys and divides as much as it can, creating chaos and suffering\u2014the old mantra \u2018dividing for reigning\u2019. Even knowing that the end is near, the (military) corporate and banking elite behind the Obama Administration is adamant to postpone the demise as long as possible, annihilating what we call civilization and the globe\u2019s resources, according to the motto, \u2018after me the deluge\u2019 \u2013 nobody should be allowed to live happily and peacefully, once the empire bites the dust.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

There is still the possibility that before the last straw breaks, the US viathe IMF,\u00a0declares a new gold standard. That could take any form possible suiting them most. It could even be a combination of gold and hydrocarbon; the latter based on oil and gas reserves throughout the world, controlled, or quasi-controlled by US hydrocarbon giants.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the Bricso\u2014 a fictitious name for the soon to be issued new currency by the BRICS \u2014 is more than welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the era of the US dollar plunges into its demise, the rest of the world needs an alternative to the dollar to be able to continue life with the least possible disruption, once the dollar is extinct.
