Liberals won\u2019t acknowledge that they\u2019ve \u201cbeen had\u201d by Barack Obama when they believed his liberal rhetoric; they won\u2019t acknowledge it, even after Obama has proven by his actions that he is actually extremely conservative (a total agent of Wall Street<\/span><\/a>; and, thus, inequality has been rising under his rule<\/span><\/a>); Obama is conservative despite his liberal rhetoric, which is designed to deceive them<\/span><\/a>; and he has \u2013 which is the worst thing of all \u2013 intentionally caused an extremely bloody ethnic cleansing in Ukraine, a war there against those of Ukraine\u2019s citizens who think that Russia is a better country than the United States: an ethnic cleansing to cement-in, as permanent, a rabidly anti-Russian Government in Ukraine, by getting rid of the people there who had voted for the man Obama overthrew. This is, historically, the first time in history that any American President has sponsored an ethnic cleansing: it\u2019s an attempt to exterminate a civilian population. That\u2019s how bad Obama actually is.<\/span><\/p>\n Liberals won\u2019t acknowledge either the violent coup in Ukraine<\/span><\/a>, or the brutal ethnic-cleansing campaign<\/span><\/a> to cement its result: an anti-Russian Government on Russia\u2019s doorstep<\/span><\/a> \u2013 a very real threat to Russia\u2019s national security, and a very aggressive American policy against Russians<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n The founder of Stratfor, the \u201cprivate CIA\u201d firm, says that the overthrow of Viktor Yanokovych in Ukraine in February 2014 was \u201cthe most blatant coup in history.\u201d<\/span><\/a> The President of the Czech Republic contrasts that coup versus Czechoslovakia\u2019s authentically democratic 1968 \u201cVelvet Revolution,\u201d and he says that \u201conly poorly informed people\u201d<\/span><\/a> don\u2019t know that the governmental overthrow in Ukraine in 2014 was a coup. America\u2019s liberals, then, are indeed<\/i> poorly informed, and they are so partly because they don\u2019t want<\/i> to know the truth about Obama; America\u2019s conservatives, by contrast, simply hate Obama, merely because he\u2019s a black Democratic politician (and any President who has been so good to Wall Street would be loved by them if he were a white Republican); they don\u2019t mind (and they actually support) that Obama hates Russia and institutes an ethnic cleansing campaign in his aggressive war against Russia. Whereas conservatives don\u2019t mind Obama\u2019s ethnic-cleansing campaign to get rid of pro-Russians in Ukraine, liberals don\u2019t want to know about it. The result is actually conservatives reigning in both Parties, not just in one: we now have one-party government, in all but name.<\/span><\/p>\n Typical on the liberal side is Professor Steven F. Cohen, a supposed Russia-expert, who sometimes writes articles for his wife\u2019s liberal magazine (which she, Katrina vanden Heuvel, owns), The Nation<\/i>, and plays dumb about Obama\u2019s anti-Russian coup in Ukraine, and he even says, on Amy Goodman\u2019s February 3rd \u201cDemocracy Now!\u201d<\/span><\/a>: \u201cMany people have argued that the United States organized a coup in February to overthrow the president of Ukraine and bring to power of this new pro-American, pro-Western government. I do not know if that\u2019s true.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The founder of Stratfor is correct: it\u2019s not only true, it is blatantly<\/i> true. In fact: this was the best-documented coup in all of human history;<\/i> and some of the documentation of it is simply stunning. For example: Here is Obama\u2019s selected and hired U.S. State Department official, who is responsible for policy in Europe, Victoria Nuland, telling the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, on 4 February 2014<\/span><\/a>, whom to get appointed to be the leader of the Ukrainian Government to replace Ukraine\u2019s democratically elected President \u2013 and it was \u201cYats\u201d Yatsenyuk, who, 22 days later, did, in fact, become appointed to rule in Ukraine<\/i> as the new Prime Minister when the coup occurred, to rule that country not as being its President, because that would be unseemly (to replace the President directly); but, instead, Yatsenyuk himself chose the rabidly anti-Russian fundamentalist Baptist preacher Oleksandr Turchynov to fill that post until the voters in the extremely conservative and anti-Russian northwestern half of Ukraine would select a \u2018democratic\u2019 President, from among a field of pre-selected extremely right-wing anti-Russian candidates on May 25th. (The voters in Ukraine\u2019s non<\/i>-fascist southeastern half were so turned off (if they hadn\u2019t already seceded from this rabidly right-wing Ukrainian Government), so that the electoral turnout in that half of the country was small to nil<\/span><\/a>. The current Ukrainian Government does not represent those people, but still wants to control their land and all the resources that lie under it (such as gas).<\/span><\/p>\n This was an extremely violent coup that Professor Steven Cohen says he doesn\u2019t know about (that he doesn\u2019t know about even though it was captured in hundreds of shocking videos, which he apparently hasn\u2019t seen or else doesn\u2019t want to understand \u2013 here are some of the best of those<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n Cohen should look at what Obama is doing in the former Ukraine, right now:<\/span><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2015\/02\/ukraine-war-feb-4th-updates-prezrak-ghost-battalion-commander-alexey-mosgovoy-future-ukraines-war.html<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Is he blind, or does he simply refuse to see?<\/span><\/p>\n Will he blame the slaughter on Obama\u2019s underlings, whom Obama hired? They\u2019re doing the jobs Obama hired them to do. This is Obama\u2019s Administration \u2013 no <\/span>one else\u2019s. They ran his coup, appointed the new Government, and oversee the ethnic cleansing this Government does<\/span><\/a> after being installed.<\/span><\/p>\n Is Cohen going to excuse Obama\u2019s total lack of expressed outrage against the barbarisms<\/span><\/a> that the Government he placed into power has perpetrated? Of course not: these things have been done on Obama\u2019s behalf. That\u2019s why Obama perpetrated the coup: this is the purpose of it: to install a rabidly anti-Russian Government on Russia\u2019s doorstep, in Ukraine, ready and eager to place nuclear missiles within a ten-minute flight to Moscow \u2013 checkmate. In order to do this, Obama needs to get rid of the people in the area of Ukraine whose 90% votes for the former neutral Ukrainian President, Viktor Yanukovych, had made Yanukovych President. If those voters aren\u2019t eliminated, then the current, Russia-hating<\/i> Ukrainian Government, will be elected out of office in a subsequent election. That\u2019s the reason why the area of the former Ukraine that is now undergoing firebombing, clusterbombing<\/span><\/a>, and other exterminationist<\/span><\/a> measures, which is the area that\u2019s shown in dark purple on the far-eastern side of this map<\/span><\/a>, is exactly the same area that had voted 90% for the person, Yanukovych, whom Obama overthrew (and the EU was shocked to find out that it had, indeed, been a coup<\/span><\/a>). The purpose of this ethnic cleansing is to assure that, in the future, pro-Russian voters in Ukraine, most especially the 90%-voters-for-Yanukovych (the residents in this area), won\u2019t ever again be in Ukraine to vote on candidates for the national Government. Obama wants the U.S. Government to control all of Ukraine, including the land where those people have lived their lives, but he doesn\u2019t want those people on it. He wants them either dead<\/span><\/a>, or gone to Russia<\/span><\/a>, so that they won\u2019t be able to participate in future Ukrainian elections and reverse the strategic impact of Obama\u2019s 2014 Ukrainian coup.<\/span><\/p>\n Evading Obama\u2019s culpability in both the coup and the subsequent ethnic-cleansing in Ukraine is nothing new for Cohen<\/a><\/span>, and any \u2018news\u2019 media that participate in spreading or else ignoring such evasions are not to be trusted by any intelligent reader or viewer or hearer. Spreading of such liberal pap is placing against the conservative poison of Fox \u2018News\u2019 etc., not an opponent but a nullity. It might be liberal, if liberalism is simply the verbal repudiation of conservatism, but it\u2019s not an alternative<\/i> to conservatism; it is definitely not<\/i> progressivism; it is just an absence of ideology<\/i>, being put up against the very real \u2013 and this nation\u2019s dominant \u2013 ideology, which is conservatism, or \u201cthe right.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n No nation whose political discourse ranges between conservatism and nothingness can be anything else than extremist conservative, or fascist (essentially pure conservatism), which seems to be what now exists in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n In the case of Barack Obama, who is the first American President to install an outright racist-fascist (in this instance, a rabidly anti-Russian) government \u2013 in other words a nazi<\/i> government \u2013 anywhere in the world, and who is also the first American President to sponsor an ethnic cleansing anywhere in the world, what we actually have in the U.S. right now is a nazi President and a nazi Congress to support his nazism. Obama is not out to exterminate the Jews as Hitler was; he is out to exterminate, or else to achieve U.S. domination over, the Russian people.<\/span><\/p>\n If America does not repudiate that, then America has transmogrified into what America was waging war against in World War II. It\u2019s spitting onto the graves of America\u2019s WW II heroes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018News\u2019 media that tolerate (as liberals do), or else encourage (as conservatives do), nazi control over the U.S., are not news media for a democratic nation. They are \u2018news\u2019 media for a fascist one. That\u2019s what we\u2019ve now got.<\/span><\/p>\n There should be millions of people marching on Washington to stop this U.S.-initiated and -backed genocide of Ukraine\u2019s pro-Russian population. Where are the \u2018peace\u2019 marchers? Maybe they think that people such as Steven Cohen are the ones to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n Is that the best America now has?<\/span><\/p>\n This American anti-Russian nazism could lead to a nuclear WW III<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n PS: This is a response to the earliest group of reader-comments to this article as posted at Fort Russ<\/span><\/a>, because those comments fall into two categories, both of which I find disturbing:<\/span><\/p>\n 1) There are several comments that are plainly anti-Semitic, and which therefore belong in the league along with the ethnicity that was the obsession of Germany’s form of nazism, that of the original Nazi Party. Such readers apparently have nothing better to respond to the American aristocracy’s and their Ukrainian agents’ anti-Russian nazism than to side with Hitler’s form of nazism, and that’s neither an intelligent nor a germane way to respond to any form of racist fascism; I find all racist fascisms to be deplorable.<\/span><\/p>\n 2) There are also several comments that defend Professor Cohen’s claimed ignorance on whether there was a coup in Ukraine, and that assert that because Cohen is a liberal and is the highest-profile one who is allowed onto the major ‘news’ media to discuss this matter, he should not be held to account for understating the vileness of the reality here. I do not respect any such blurring of Obama’s horrendous guilt in this extremely important historical matter: Obama caused the coup, and Russia had to respond to it, which was a basic defensive necessity for that country, not at all optional, neither as regards Russia’s accepting the obvious desire of the vast majority of Crimeans to rejoin Russia, nor as regards Russia’s assisting the tragic victims in Donbass to protect their lives against the Obama-nazi assault from Kiev. If one (such as Cohen) alleges that there is question as to whether Obama perpetrated a coup in the violent overthrow of Yanukovych, then one is alleging that Russia might have been the instigator of the conflict here, when Russia responded to it with protection of the Crimeans and protection of the Donbassers. What Cohen is doing is to assert that he doesn’t have any idea which side was the aggressor here. If there was no coup, then Obama was not the aggressor. Is that really a serious possibility? I would not be devoting most of my time since at least last May 2nd to reporting on the return of the nazi threat, if there was any reason whatsoever to doubt Obama’s guilt as the aggressor in the Ukrainian war. To me, what Obama is doing here is to spit on the graves of all Americans who died in World War II. Tolerance of nazism, such as by saying “I don’t know which side is the aggressor here, and which side is responding to that aggression” is despicable. One might as well say that maybe Germany’s Nazis were defending Germany’s Christians from the depradations by all Jews inside and outside Germany. Steven F. Cohen’s expressed position compromises truth just as much. <\/span><\/p>\n \u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013<\/span><\/p>\n Investigative historian Eric Zuesse is the author, most recently, of They\u2019re Not Even Close: The Democratic vs. Republican Economic Records, 1910-2010<\/i><\/span><\/a>,<\/i> and of \u00a0<\/i>CHRIST\u2019S VENTRILOQUISTS: The Event that Created Christianity<\/i><\/span><\/a>.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eric Zuesse Liberals won\u2019t acknowledge that they\u2019ve \u201cbeen had\u201d by Barack Obama when they believed his liberal rhetoric; they won\u2019t acknowledge it, even after Obama has proven by his actions that he is actually extremely conservative (a total agent of Wall Street; and, thus, inequality has been rising under his rule); Obama is conservative despite […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1254,"featured_media":143381,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[461,1622],"tags":[115,30,857,96,29,535,856,59,527,858,540,524,523,49,76,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-143380","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-editorials","8":"category-featured","9":"tag-barack-obama","10":"tag-big-brother","11":"tag-conservatives","12":"tag-cover-up","13":"tag-democrats","14":"tag-global-news","15":"tag-liberals","16":"tag-military","17":"tag-nuclear-war","18":"tag-progressives","19":"tag-republicans","20":"tag-russia","21":"tag-ukraine","22":"tag-usa-news","23":"tag-warfare","24":"tag-white-house"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1254"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

He wants them either dead<\/span><\/a>, or gone to Russia<\/span><\/a>, so that they won\u2019t be able to participate in future Ukrainian elections and reverse the strategic impact of Obama\u2019s 2014 Ukrainian coup.<\/span><\/p>\nEvading Obama\u2019s culpability in both the coup and the subsequent ethnic-cleansing in Ukraine is nothing new for Cohen<\/a><\/span>, and any \u2018news\u2019 media that participate in spreading or else ignoring such evasions are not to be trusted by any intelligent reader or viewer or hearer. Spreading of such liberal pap is placing against the conservative poison of Fox \u2018News\u2019 etc., not an opponent but a nullity. It might be liberal, if liberalism is simply the verbal repudiation of conservatism, but it\u2019s not an alternative<\/i> to conservatism; it is definitely not<\/i> progressivism; it is just an absence of ideology<\/i>, being put up against the very real \u2013 and this nation\u2019s dominant \u2013 ideology, which is conservatism, or \u201cthe right.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nNo nation whose political discourse ranges between conservatism and nothingness can be anything else than extremist conservative, or fascist (essentially pure conservatism), which seems to be what now exists in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\nIn the case of Barack Obama, who is the first American President to install an outright racist-fascist (in this instance, a rabidly anti-Russian) government \u2013 in other words a nazi<\/i> government \u2013 anywhere in the world, and who is also the first American President to sponsor an ethnic cleansing anywhere in the world, what we actually have in the U.S. right now is a nazi President and a nazi Congress to support his nazism. Obama is not out to exterminate the Jews as Hitler was; he is out to exterminate, or else to achieve U.S. domination over, the Russian people.<\/span><\/p>\nIf America does not repudiate that, then America has transmogrified into what America was waging war against in World War II. It\u2019s spitting onto the graves of America\u2019s WW II heroes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u2018News\u2019 media that tolerate (as liberals do), or else encourage (as conservatives do), nazi control over the U.S., are not news media for a democratic nation. They are \u2018news\u2019 media for a fascist one. That\u2019s what we\u2019ve now got.<\/span><\/p>\nThere should be millions of people marching on Washington to stop this U.S.-initiated and -backed genocide of Ukraine\u2019s pro-Russian population. Where are the \u2018peace\u2019 marchers? Maybe they think that people such as Steven Cohen are the ones to follow.<\/span><\/p>\nIs that the best America now has?<\/span><\/p>\nThis American anti-Russian nazism could lead to a nuclear WW III<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\nPS: This is a response to the earliest group of reader-comments to this article as posted at Fort Russ<\/span><\/a>, because those comments fall into two categories, both of which I find disturbing:<\/span><\/p>\n1) There are several comments that are plainly anti-Semitic, and which therefore belong in the league along with the ethnicity that was the obsession of Germany’s form of nazism, that of the original Nazi Party. Such readers apparently have nothing better to respond to the American aristocracy’s and their Ukrainian agents’ anti-Russian nazism than to side with Hitler’s form of nazism, and that’s neither an intelligent nor a germane way to respond to any form of racist fascism; I find all racist fascisms to be deplorable.<\/span><\/p>\n2) There are also several comments that defend Professor Cohen’s claimed ignorance on whether there was a coup in Ukraine, and that assert that because Cohen is a liberal and is the highest-profile one who is allowed onto the major ‘news’ media to discuss this matter, he should not be held to account for understating the vileness of the reality here. I do not respect any such blurring of Obama’s horrendous guilt in this extremely important historical matter: Obama caused the coup, and Russia had to respond to it, which was a basic defensive necessity for that country, not at all optional, neither as regards Russia’s accepting the obvious desire of the vast majority of Crimeans to rejoin Russia, nor as regards Russia’s assisting the tragic victims in Donbass to protect their lives against the Obama-nazi assault from Kiev. If one (such as Cohen) alleges that there is question as to whether Obama perpetrated a coup in the violent overthrow of Yanukovych, then one is alleging that Russia might have been the instigator of the conflict here, when Russia responded to it with protection of the Crimeans and protection of the Donbassers. What Cohen is doing is to assert that he doesn’t have any idea which side was the aggressor here. If there was no coup, then Obama was not the aggressor. Is that really a serious possibility? I would not be devoting most of my time since at least last May 2nd to reporting on the return of the nazi threat, if there was any reason whatsoever to doubt Obama’s guilt as the aggressor in the Ukrainian war. To me, what Obama is doing here is to spit on the graves of all Americans who died in World War II. Tolerance of nazism, such as by saying “I don’t know which side is the aggressor here, and which side is responding to that aggression” is despicable. One might as well say that maybe Germany’s Nazis were defending Germany’s Christians from the depradations by all Jews inside and outside Germany. Steven F. Cohen’s expressed position compromises truth just as much. <\/span><\/p>\n\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013<\/span><\/p>\nInvestigative historian Eric Zuesse is the author, most recently, of They\u2019re Not Even Close: The Democratic vs. Republican Economic Records, 1910-2010<\/i><\/span><\/a>,<\/i> and of \u00a0<\/i>CHRIST\u2019S VENTRILOQUISTS: The Event that Created Christianity<\/i><\/span><\/a>.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eric Zuesse Liberals won\u2019t acknowledge that they\u2019ve \u201cbeen had\u201d by Barack Obama when they believed his liberal rhetoric; they won\u2019t acknowledge it, even after Obama has proven by his actions that he is actually extremely conservative (a total agent of Wall Street; and, thus, inequality has been rising under his rule); Obama is conservative despite […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1254,"featured_media":143381,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[461,1622],"tags":[115,30,857,96,29,535,856,59,527,858,540,524,523,49,76,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-143380","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-editorials","8":"category-featured","9":"tag-barack-obama","10":"tag-big-brother","11":"tag-conservatives","12":"tag-cover-up","13":"tag-democrats","14":"tag-global-news","15":"tag-liberals","16":"tag-military","17":"tag-nuclear-war","18":"tag-progressives","19":"tag-republicans","20":"tag-russia","21":"tag-ukraine","22":"tag-usa-news","23":"tag-warfare","24":"tag-white-house"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1254"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}](\"http:\/\/observationalism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Ukraine_historical_vs_electoral_2010.png\"){kind=link}
