Putin v The West - The KGB v The PR Department. We Reap What We Sow

As events in the Ukraine and Crimea unfold it is becoming increasingly obvious that the western leaders are not just being out maneuvered by Russia's Vladimir Putin but they are being shown up for what they actually are, media created PR men with no experience in the real world in which we the people abide.

Just a tertiary glance at the backgrounds, experience and accomplishments of the current western leaders reveals weaknesses that any self respecting tyrant in search of his country's lost glory would be a fool to pass up.

It goes without saying that the fearsome reputation of the KGB is well deserved and therefore anyone who leads this organization is by nature ruthless and single minded - in addition, any KGB leader will be well versed in international affairs and a master of strategy.

Vladimir Putin meets these criteria in abundance and in addition he has acquired a degree of Public Relations and media management skills that matches those on which his western foes are totally reliant.

Here is the public face of Putin that the world sees, flip through and enjoy.

While a young Putin was honing his skills in the KGB, British Prime Minister, David Cameron, was behaving like the upper class twit that he is by attending raves and wrecking restaurants as a member of the exclusive Bullington Club. After his exclusive education he spent a couple of years as a PR man for a failed television company before taking his leave of the real world by entering the closed, incestuous world of party politics.

His supposed successor, George Osborne, who is the current Chancellor of the Exchequer, was also an upper class Bullington Club twit but apparently he did gain some real world experience prior to entering party politics by enjoying cocaine fuelled sessions with dominatrix Natalie Rowe.

Here are the public faces of David Cameron and George Osborne. Please try not to laugh.

Here's George and Natalie.

Barack Obama, the current leader of the free world and Commander in Chief' of the mightiest military machine on the planet, spent his formative years smoking dope and spending his time with Marxist professors before taking up a career in community organizing. President Obama spent his formative years in Indonesia, Hawaii and the Peoples Republic of Chicago.

The last G8 was a classic example of  the mentality of Cameron and his PR men, the manufactured charade of a tieless, down to earth summit was so contrived and phony it was an embarrassment for the people of Great Britain.

One would think that the European Union which prides itself on having the political clout of nearly five hundred million people would have Putin quaking in his kerenky and scurrying back to Moscow.

Who wouldn't be worried with the EU's High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President if the European Union Commission beating a path to his door?

Vladimir Putin that's who. If the overtly pompous job title isn't enough to split ones side with laughter then the holder will most definitely cause a severe laceration.

The Right Honourable Baroness Ashton of Upholland is the official cover name for Cathy Ashton, a former hippy, serial supporter of left wing causes and the ultimate career bureaucrat. She has never held a proper job nor has she ever been elected to anything. She is one of the highest paid apparatchiks on earth and wields enormous political power, but sadly, in this new post democratic age, she has  been appointed and cannot be removed by the people no matter how destructive and incompetent she may be.

Here's the Baroness on the campaign trail.

One has to remember that Ashton was a Vice Chairperson and treasurer of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament which agitated for unilateral nuclear disarmament at the height of the Cold War. It is now coming to light that she accepted funding for her traitorous organization from the Soviet Union and they adopted the campaign slogan, "Better Red Than Dead".

More on the Baroness here.

Faced with this cast of characters and their priorities, is it any wonder that Vladimir Putin, who is desperate to return Russia to its former glory and influence, is behaving the way he is?

While Putin is running rampant around the globe and running rings around the western leaders, what exactly are their priorities?

State mandated equality and fairness is high on the agenda of both countries together with a plethora of trendy, bleeding heart, hand wringing, guilt ridden 'progressive' nonsense, designed to make the political class feel good about themselves and help them display their compassionate credentials on the world stage.

Other priorities include:

Minimum wage, soon to become Living wage.

Ensnaring more people into welfare dependency and entitlement addiction.

Imposing multi-culturalism via mass immigration and amnesty.

Downgrading the military and erasing their traditions and history. In the case of the USA, this includes feminizing as much as possible to ensure gender neutrality and gay friendliness.

Putting homosexuals on a pedestal, firstly with equal rights then with special rights and now with extra rights. This must be the most pampered minority group on earth bearing in mind their small numbers.

Wrecking traditional marriage and family life

Eradicating the western Judeo-Christian values and its moral compass and giving medieval death cults such as Islam, moral equivalence.

Impoverishing their respective peoples with spending, taxing, borrowing and debt for generations to come.

The list goes on and the longer it does the more Putin, and all the other enemies of the west, are emboldened. Unless something drastic happens and the people wake up to the danger, the west is doomed.

President Putin on western decline, read this and weep.

We the people are to blame - we've known for many years that the political class are out of control and treating us with contempt.

In Great Britain we know that the leaders of the three main parties share an identical agenda on the main issues. They are as one. We know that David Cameron, Nick Clegg and David Miliband hail from a remote elite with no affiliation with the people they are supposed to represent.

The same goes for President Obama.  Everyone knows he is a media created impostor and even when his first term turned out to be a disaster they fell for his spin a second time. The danger now is that like Great Britain, being lied to will be become a normal part of political discourse allowing politicians to get away with destructive policies and outright corruption.

As well as we the people, President Putin knows they are all media creations who are trained in the arts of media management, spin, deceit and lying and unlike Putin, we fall for their propaganda every time. The people are easily seduced with promises the politicians know they will not keep and we will lose our liberties and freedoms to become no better off than the unfortunates of Putin's prison states.

American blogger 90 Miles From Tyranny has put together a gallery of comparisons, well worth a look.

Netanyahu, Putin and Obama at age twenty three.

Vladimir Putin Vs Barack Obama - This is awesome.

Finally just for fun, guess the mystery world leader who would surely have sent Putin back to the Kremlin: Here and here.

Unelected EU Baroness Preaches Democracy In Egypt But Punishes Democratic Israel

No thinking person will be surprised by double standards and hypocrisy when it comes to the European Union. This whole institution was built on the basis of 'government in the post democratic age' using the Soviet Union model as a template.

It is stuffed to the rafters with a mix of professional career politicians, failed legislators, unqualified cronies, hangers on and communist apparatchiks left over from the former East European dictatorships.

This whole place is run by back scratching, patronage and back room stitch ups, which allows failed politicians from the member states to take lucrative non jobs for long enough to fill their pockets with taxpayers money and qualify for a gold plated pension for life.

The latest episode of gross hypocrisy is the visit of the grandly titled High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security, the Baroness Ashton, to the Middle East to put Egypt firmly 'on a path to democracy'. She met with the various Egyptian political parties including the Muslim Brotherhood who are advocates of totalitarian Sharia law.

One would have thought that the European Union is the last institution that should be preaching democracy but using Baroness Ashton as its leading preacher is beyond parody.

A brief look at Ashton's Curriculum Vitae reveals that she doesn't have a democratic bone in her body. My generation remember Ashton as one of leaders of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), a group led by a gaggle of naive professional left wing agitators and clerics who advocated unilateral nuclear disarmament during the cold war period of Soviet aggression.

It is certain that the CND had been infiltrated by the Soviets and Ashton refuses to acknowledge Soviet financing of her organization to this day. Her political career started in earnest when she was appointed to the upper chamber of the British legislature, the House of Lords, by Tony Blair. Although totally unqualified, her rise through the ranks took off like a rocket when she was:

Appointed Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department of Education and Skills.

Appointed Minister for Sure Start

Appointed Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs (in preparation for pushing the EU constitution through Parliament without a referendum)

Appointed Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Ministry of Justice ( see above)

Appointed Leader of the House of Lords and Lord President of the Council.

Appointed Great Britain's Commissioner to the European Union.

One doesn't have to be a student of politics to note that Ashton acquired vast amounts of political and legislative power over the British people without a single vote being cast. She has never offered herself for election over her entire career and what makes this situation even more undemocratic is the fact that she is appointed for life therefore she cannot be removed by the British people regardless of her performance.

This is the person chosen by the Leaders of the European Union to preach democracy to the various blood soaked dictators of Egypt and the Middle East. These EU leaders don't stand up to scrutiny either considering the amount of power they wield over the peoples of Europe.

President of the European Council, which is accepted to be the Executive branch of the EU, is sinister Belgian totalitarian Herman von Rumpuy who was appointed without consultation with the people or Parliament.

President of the EU Commission, which is accepted to be the legislative branch, is Portuguese Maoist Jose Manuel Barrosso who, like von Rumpuy, was appointed without consultation. The Vice President of the Commission just happens to be the Baroness Ashton.

President of the European Parliament is the German socialist thug Martin Shultz. This appalling man, who can barely disguise his hatred of Great Britain, was appointed after a closed door stitch up between cronies and hangers on.

Any sane person is bound to question how an organization like this, stuffed with people like the anti-democracy Baroness Ashton, can be taken seriously when they start preaching democracy abroad.

Hatred of Israel is mandatory for a hard left 'progressive' zealot like Baroness Ashton and she demonstrates this, together with her hypocrisy, by declaring a cultural war against the only multi-party democracy in the Middle East, Israel.

While she is indulging the Muslim Brotherhood's deposed dictator Mohamed Morsi, who describes Jews as the 'decendents of apes and pigs', she is applying sanctions on Israeli academics and businesses alike.  These sanctions are likely to hurt Arabs as well as the Israelis that she hates so much.

This fact won't bother Ashton as demonstrating her anti-Israel credentials is more important than hurting the very Arabs she is supposed to be helping.

This double standard is nothing new for the long suffering people of Europe. Prior to Baroness Ashton they had to suffer the hopelessly under qualified, multi-millionaire socialist, the Baroness Kinnock. This venal pseudo intellectual has made a multi million pound fortune despite never having had a real job outside of politics. The taxpayers pockets are deep and always open for the politicians to plunder.

Another hard left 'progressive' in the Ashton mould, Glennys Kinnock demonstrated her idiocy by lecturing President Obama on how his government's subsidies to cotton farmers was making it difficult for their counterparts in the developing world to compete; all the while she was the Commissioner of an organization that provides the biggest subsidies to farmers in the history of agriculture, including its own cotton farmers! The EU's Common Agricultural Policy has ruined the entire agricultural sectors of developing countries since its inception decades ago.

The world will wait with baited breath to see if the efforts of the appointed, undemocratic Baroness Ashton will succeed in teaching Middle Eastern tyrants the virtues of democracy but maybe she should listen to her own lectures and democratize herself and the organization she represents first.
