NATO “Concerned by Russia’s Military Buildup Close to Our Borders”

The Secretary-General of NATO said this on October 9th, speaking in NATO member Romania, right across the Black Sea from Russias region of Crimea (which had always been part of Russia except for the brief period 1954-2014, when the Soviet dictator arbitrarily transferred Crimea to Ukraine in 1954 i.e., the Soviet dictator had made Crimea Ukrainian, and only in 2014 was a plebiscite actually held there in order to determine what the people there wanted, and more than 90% chose to be restored to the Russian Government). He said, on October 9th, that NATO is concerned by Russias military buildup close to our borders , but NATO actually had expanded up to Russias borders; in no way had Russia expanded up to NATOs borders. NATOs leader was importantly misrepresenting history, there.

In fact, Romania, itself, used to be a member of the former Soviet Unions Warsaw Pact military alliance of nations, which had been set up by the Soviet Union in response to Americas having established in 1949 its NATO military alliance with Western European nations. After the Cold War ended, on Russias side, in 1991, and has been secretly continued by the U.S. Government and its allies right up to the present time, Romania became a member of the NATO anti-Russian alliance in 2004, under George W. Bushs Administration. But Bushs father, President George Herbert Walker Bush, had, as the U.S. President, established, in 1990, the foundation for what NATO now is doing in Romania, against Russia even though Russia had, in fact, ended the Cold War on its side, in 1991.

When the Cold War ended in 1991, it was on the basis of the promise by the Soviet Union that the U.S.S.R. would end, and would become its component separate independent states (one of which was Russia), and end its communism, and end its Warsaw Pact military alliance with nations adjoining the Soviet Union that all of this would happen if the United States and its NATO allies would not expand NATO, and that especially NATO would not move one inch to the east (i.e., toward Russia) by adding, to the NATO military alliance, any of the nations (such as Romania) which had been in the Soviet Unions Warsaw Pact, nor especially any nations that had been a part of the former Soviet Union itself (such as Ukraine). The U.S. Government wants to bring Ukraine into NATO, to become its 29th member-nation. But Ukraine is not yet a member, and NATO therefore doesnt yet have any legitimate business there, at all. NATO isnt, and cant yet be, defending Ukraine no matter how much NATO might possibly want to go to war against Russia.

For NATO to be alleging to be concerned by Russias military buildup close to our borders is amazing, since NATO is militarily building up not only close to Russias borders, but right on Russias borders (such as in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) and is now seeking to add Ukraine as a member, but already has other formerly Russia-allied nations: Poland, East Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, and, this year, Montenegro and is attempting to draw in the few remaining ones, but especially Ukraine, which it claims to be defending.

The Warsaw Pact was formed six years after the NATO alliance was, and only after repeated failures by the Soviet Union to be allowed into NATO. The Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, was, additionally, but only vaguely, promised, in 1990, that if the Cold War would end, then Russia, now to become an independent nation, would be considered again for possible admission into NATO, but this vaguely presented bait turned out not to be honored in reality, once the deal was done. During the years after 1991, NATO boldly and blatantly violated the move not one inch to the east agreement with Gorbachev, and took on 13 new members all of which lands had previously been either inside the Soviet Union, or else inside the Warsaw Pact so that NATO increased from its then-existing 16 nations, to become todays 29 nations, all of which 13 additional nations had previously been allied with Russia; and, so, NATO is now not only near Russias borders, such as in Romania, but right on Russias very borders in other nations, and the U.S. is, even now installing an anti-missile system to annihilate Russias retaliatory missiles in the event that the U.S. regime decides to launch a blitz first-strike nuclear attack against Russia to eliminate Russias retaliatory nuclear arsenals either on the ground or in the air and thus finally conquer NATOs eternal target: Russia.

NATO repeatedly accuses Russia of aggression for defending itself against American, and other NATO, aggressions, such as U.S. President Barack Obamas carefully engineered coup that started being planned in 2011 and was finally perpetrated in 2014 to take over Ukraines Government to turn anti-Russian this country, Ukraine, which has the longest of all European borders with Russia. The U.S. regime wants Ukraine in NATO, but other NATO members dont yet allow it (and maybe never will).

However, American and other NATO newsmedia, lie about this entire matter, and present NATO as being purely a defensive organization, instead of what it actually is: a major component in the U.S. dictatorships effort ultimately to checkmate Russia or else to kill Russians entirely and take over their natural resources to be controlled by U.S. and other international corporations. NATO is an international mega-criminal gang, which enormously increases the likelihood of World War III, but which also is enormously profitable for its ultimate backers, Lockheed Martin and other NATO weapons-makers, whose controlling ownership also happens to own and control, and to advertise their other corporations products and services in, the news media in those nations. Media-profits are thus connected both directly and indirectly to that military-industrial complex, which needs invasions, even if it doesnt actually need to conquer Russia or any other country. But perpetual war for perpetual peace is the most essential thing of all for NATO (and, since nuclear weaponry is the most expensive type of all, the anti-Russian agenda is especially important to NATO, even without Russias natural resources). Thats what actually is behind NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenbergs speech on October 9th near Russias border, in which he alleged, Our deployments are a direct response to Russias aggressive actions in Ukraine, and, We are concerned by Russias military build-up close to our borders. He said there, We do not want to isolate Russia. NATO does not want a new Cold War. Our actions are designed to prevent, not provoke conflict. (Even Hitler had said, prior to the start of WW II, that he was merely defending Germany, against other countries.) He knows, as well as anyone possibly can, that, on the U.S. regimes side, the Cold War never stopped, and that it has escalated sharply and re-invigorated NATO itself, with the Obama-regimes takeover of Ukraine, and he knows that the aggression which NATO and the U.S. regime blame against Russia, constitute actually Russias defensive actions which necessarily result from Obamas Ukrainian coup on Russias very doorstep a coup which was even documented on recordings, such as here and here (and many other key moments) (and the key background for which coup has, by now, also been documented, going all the way back to 2011, when the planning for organizing Obamas coup was already begun in 2011 inside the U.S. State Department), and which therefore cannot even be denied (except in the persistently lying U.S.-NATO teams newsmedia).

Its all a big jobs program for the U.S. and other extremely corrupt-at-the-top nations the U.S. aristocracy and its vassal-aristocracies in Europe and elsewhere, and their lying newsmedia, who cant deny the evidence, and so they simply ignore the evidence, and they instead stenographically report the U.S. Governments lies as truths, much the same as had happened prior to the U.S. Governments invasion of Iraq in 2003, only on a much larger scale now.

So, these ugly facts are not reported in the NATO press, because theyre true their truth is why theyre not allowed to be broadcast and publicly debated. Their being true is blocking those democracies from allowing their respective publics to know anything about any of this.

We are, thus, all living in the type of situation that the allegorical novel 1984 described; but the means by which it operates, in reality, turn out to be far more sophisticated than in the fictional version.

Welcome, then, to 2017s version of 1984 its the updated version, in which, NATO is concerned by Russias military buildup close to our borders.
