Sergey Lavrov on Today’s Dismal State

Independent China and Russia top Washington’s list of nations it wants transformed into client states — by whatever it takes to achieve its diabolical aims.

Both countries know what they’re up against. They know normalized relations with the US are unattainable.

They’re well aware that the threat of US rage for dominating other countries could boil over into global war if its dominant hardliners push things too far.

Compared to at least most of the post-WW II period, Sino/Russian relations with the US are at their lowest point in memory.

They’re more dismal and dangerous than at any time during Cold War years.

Sergey Lavrov virtually acknowledged it, saying if up to Moscow, its ruling authorities “would gladly resume normal relations,” adding: 

“The first possible step towards this, which I regard as obvious, is to zero out the measures restricting the work of Russian diplomats in the United States.” 

“It was as a response measure that we restricted the operations of American diplomats in Russia.”

One of a number of obvious ways to shift from confrontational to normalized relations is by both sides adopting this obvious step to relations as they should be.

Instead, dominant US hardliners from both right wings of its war party reject virtually everything key to peace over war, respecting the sovereign rights of other nations, and rule out no meddling in their internal affairs.

Trump wanted improved bipartisan relations but was overruled by dominant US dark forces.

The Biden regime “continues to go downhill,” said Lavrov.

Increased hostility by its dominant hardliners against Russia, China and other countries “pose(s) a serious risk to international security in the broadest possible meaning of the word,” Lavrov stressed.

Along with China, Iran, and other nations free from US hegemonic control, Russia rejects its “attempts to revive” unipolarity in today’s multipolar world.

These nations want no part of subordinating their sovereign UN Charter rights to US hegemonic interests. Nor should any country.

They rightfully accept nothing less than observance of international law by all nations.

They seek cooperative relations among all nations on a level playing field, dominance of none over others.

Lavrov explained that Vladimir Putin said he’s “always open to broad international agreements if they suit (Russia’s) interests.” 

“But we will harshly respond to any attempts to cross the red line, which we ourselves will determine.”

Fostering peace, stability, cooperative relations with other nations, and compliance with the rule of law, Russia is a reliable ally, a valued one — polar opposite hegemon USA and subservient partners, waging war on humanity to dominate other countries.

Unlike friction, tensions, and what Lavrov called “high-risk conflict situations” during Cold War years, “there was also mutual respect,” he explained — what’s “lacking now,” he stressed.

Unlike today’s dominant US ruling class and their recent counterparts, Lavrov called Jack Kennedy Washington’s “greatest” president.

In office, he transformed himself from a cold warrior to peacemaker.

Along with wanting all US forces out of Vietnam by December 1965, he supported world peace over endless wars of aggression, rapprochement with Soviet Russia, nuclear disarmament, Palestinian rights, while opposing Israel’s illegal nuclear weapons program.

Chastened by the Bay of Pigs fiasco, he refused to authorize another lawless attempt to topple Fidel Castro. 

Following the October 1962 Cuba missile crisis, he said he “never had the slightest intension” of attacking or invading the country.

He opposed Pax Americana enforced dominance, signed the Limited Test Ban Treaty with Soviet Russia, favored nuclear and complete disarmament, wanting wars avoided, not waged.

Deploring CIA contempt for the rule of law, he fire director Allen Dulles and his deputy General Charles Cabell – once saying he favored “splinter(ing) the (agency) into a thousand pieces and scatter(ing) it to the winds.” 

Throughout my lifetime in its 9th decade, no other US president approached standards he set for peace, cooperative relations with other nations, and respect for the the rule of law.

All of the above and more of the same on other issues was why CIA hired guns assassinated him on November 22, 1963.

A day of infamy, it’s one I recall as clearly as when happened nearly six decades ago.

Things have been largely downhill ever since — notably during the Clinton co-presidency neoliberal 90s, post-9/11, and especially since US/Western dark forces renamed seasonal flu covid last year and horrors that followed.

Though a teenager during Kennedy’s tenure, Lavrov clearly recalls him fondly, a figure unmatched by no one in the US or West today.

Commenting on escalated Kiev aggression on Donbass, he called for stepping back from the brink to avoid things spinning out of control.

As for Ukrainian puppet president Zelensky, “his main goal is to stay in power,” said Lavrov, adding:

He’s “ready to pay any price, such as pandering to neo-Nazis and ultra-radicals who continue to (falsely) brand Donbass self-defense fighters as terrorists (sic).”

US-colonized Ukraine is a black hole of fascist tyranny.

Its endless war on Donbass terrorizes its people.

Civilians, including children, are being regularly killed, public infrastructure, residences, hospitals, schools, and other structures damaged or destroyed by Kiev’s aggression.

On orders from US hardliners, resolution of conflict between Kiev and Donbass is off the table in favor of forever war.

Lavrov noted that Putin said Russia will never abandon Donbass to tyrannical rule by Kiev.

Yet Lavrov’s explanation of why requests by DPR and LPR ruling authorities  — likely expressing the will of their people — to join Russia were rejected by Moscow or at least went unanswered was unacceptable.

Attributing Russia’s position on Donbass to agreed on Minsk I and II peace proposals by both sides, his argument is only valid if they were jointly implemented.

It clearly didn’t happen for the past seven years and won’t ahead because Kiev’s higher authority in Washington wants endless war along Russia’s border, not resolution.

So the remedy not taken by Moscow is shifting the border by allowing the DPR and LPR to join Russia.

Had the Kremlin and parliamentary leadership accommodated them as was done for Crimeans, years of endless war, misery, thousands of deaths and injuries could have been avoided.

It’s not to late for Russia to do the right thing.

It’s likely the only way to end US-orchestrated and directed forever Kiev aggression on Donbass.

The alternative may be escalated war if this is what Biden regime hardliners have in mind.

If they push things too far, direct US confrontation with Russia and China could follow — the madness of possible global war able to doom us all if things play out this way.

As for as diplomatic outreach by Russia to the US, if the Kremlin doesn’t recognize the futility of good faith engagement with the US and West by now, it’ll never know.

Whenever occurring, betrayal is assured like always before.

Believing what never worked is possible ahead is self-defeating wishful thinking to fail like all other times.

The US and its imperial partners can never be trusted.

Nothing remotely suggests otherwise.

Artificially Inflated Numbers of Covid Outbreaks and Deaths

Since early last year, we’ve been lied to, scammed, and otherwise mass deceived by US-led Western dark forces, Pharma, and their press agent media to believe annual outbreaks of seasonal flu-renamed covid represent an unprecedented threat to health and well-being.

Until deleted to conceal reality, research reported by Johns-Hopkins revealed that US deaths in 2020 among all age groups were similar to numbers in previous years.

Seasonal flu called covid since last year had no effect on numbers of deaths in the US.

The NYT has been in the vanguard of hyping a nonexistent covid pandemic threat to promote draconian social control policies.

They include mass-jabbing of maximum numbers of people with hazardous, experimental, unapproved drugs that don’t protect and risk possible irreversible harm to health.

In cahoots with US dark forces and the nation’s sickness industry, the Times and other establishment media artificially inflated numbers of covid cases.

According to pre-2020 CDC data, annual numbers of US seasonal flu/influenza cases range from 9 to 45 million, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations, and from 12,000 – 61,000 deaths — the vast majority among people over age-70.

The longstanding pattern repeats annually — last year and 2021 to date much like previous years with one major exception.

According to the WHO, seasonal flu virtually disappeared since early last year for the first time in recorded history.

What always showed up annually for time immemorial no longer exists.

No miracle cure eliminated it. Diabolical US-led Western dark forces renamed it covid.

At the same time, US/Western regimes, sickness industry profiteers, and their press agent media grossly inflated numbers of flu now called covid outbreaks and deaths.

It’s part of a diabolical plot to fear-monger millions of mind-manipulated people to unwittingly self-inflict harm by going along with draconian policies that demand mass rejection.

In its latest fake news edition, the NYT falsely claimed that “(t)he world’s (covid) death toll surpassed three million on Saturday” — citing its own fabricated database.

It lied claiming “millions more (were) sickened…with effects that may last for years or even a lifetime (sic),” adding:

“Livelihoods (were) ruined. Global work and travel have been disrupted in profound and potentially long-lasting ways.”

Using seasonal flu now called covid as a phony pretext, state-approved draconian policies bear full responsibility for unprecedented harm to countless millions of ordinary people in the US, West, and elsewhere.

Reported numbers of covid cases and deaths were and continue to be artificially inflated.

The Times and other establishment media are complicit with US/Western dark forces in promoting the mother of all harmful to health and well-being scams.

On Sunday, Joseph Mercola reported the following:

Energetic Health Institute founder/director Dr. Henry Ealy “review(ed) how US federal regulatory agencies…manipulated (covid) statistics to control the (fabricated official) narrative.”

In March 2020, “the definition” of fatalities from flu now called covid was “chang(ed) (with) no oversight,  no possibility for the public to comment on the change.”

It was done “without following any of the prescribed rules.”

Numbers of covid outbreaks and deaths were and continue to be artificially inflated multiple times higher than reality.

Unprecedented US-led Western harm inflicted on countless millions of people is intended as prelude for much worse to come.

It’s part of eliminating what remains of fundamental freedoms in the West and elsewhere.

Replacing normality with dystopia was planned long ago.

Unfolding for years, things accelerated post-9/11. 

After seasonal flu was renamed covid early last year, US-led Western draconian harshness took a quantum leap.

Mandated and recommended covid-related policies are all about harming health and well-being, not preserving and protecting it.

Along with eliminating free and open societies, another mass-jabbing aim may likely be with large-scale depopulation in mind to eliminate what Henry Kissinger long ago called “useless eaters.”

Following media proliferated advice and mandates by US-led Western dark forces may irreversibly harm health and well-being instead of the other way around.

What seemed inconceivable long ago is today’s dystopian reality.

The worst of it likely lies ahead without mass resistance against what no one should accept.
