neo-feudal, post-Soviet, Russia

Regarding the “Cold War”, the 24th anniversary of the dissolving of the Soviet Union took place December 26, 1991, which date places all of us in the 25th year out from the machinations of that abominable terror-supporting enterprise. Of Putin’s bid to sustain a modern security state and oligarchy — the “New Nobility” — it may be suggested that “Resistance is Feudal”, because it is. The open democracies and communicating systems of the modern world present an existential challenge to dictatorships worldwide that continue to rely on medieval methods for keeping themselves in power.

A Riddle Wrapped in a Mystery Inside an Enigma: Obama

neo-feudal, Obama, politics

Winston Churchill’s 1939 observation about the Kremlin, then the brainworks of the Soviet through a particularly pernicious period, might well apply to the Obama Administration today: image-creating and image-projecting; opaque in its machinations behind closed doors; and deliberately manipulative and misdirecting.

Subject for investigation: the reversion of America’s 20th Century democracy into a 21st Century fief beneath the cover of a wartime presidency shielded by the president’s own abundant charisma and charm.

For BackChannels, the theme developed out of correspondence involving statements by Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former chief of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency.

Of interest, was Iran’s obsessive march toward ownership of The Bomb and the Obama Administration’s dippy whack diplomacy on that point and in the middle east in general.

Of greater interest to BackChannels has been how the Iranian nuclear debacle or putsch fits with an emerging image of a “Newest Nobility” engaged in global feudal-medieval politics — call it the “Politics of Criminals” for how whole constituencies have been endangered, murdered, or plundered outright beneath its various banners (among the despotic: different talks — same walks).

Is Obama the “Manchurian Candidate” as the Far Right often suggests?

Or is he a master of disguise — and we’re not going to crash into the mountain after all?


We’re a long way today from Wag The Dog (1997).

Today’s “political theater” is real but may be equally produced, for we know that “false flag operations” appear now routine in political manipulation (reference Karen Dawisha’s fine analysis of the Moscow Apartment Bombings in her book, Putin’s Kleptocracy) and both avoiding or dissembling over tough questions (first troops in Ukraine – no marked uniforms; the shoot-down of MH 17 over Ukraine; the confusion of official explanations involving the Albert Nisman murder mystery in Argentina) have become part — or simply a more evident and clearly seen part — of global politics.

Of material related to Ali Khamenei’s plundering of Iran, BackChannels would consider the stand-down order from the mayor near Mosul, Iraq as the most deeply disturbing of documents as regards Syndicate Red Brown Green’s cynical manipulation of apparent battlespace: “ISIS” may not have routed Iraq’s western-equipped and trained army: the gates appear to have been at least partially officially opened — but only on to the north of Baghdad: today, Khamenei’s forces have been handily (conveniently) fighting Daesh while Iranian influence in Iraq has itself amassed a healthy virtual pile of news clippings.


Reminder: “Syndicate Red Brown Green”

Red = Post Soviet, neo-feudal Russia

Brown = New National Socialists

Green = Islamists (leaders and rogue movements)

21st Century Feudal Arcs of Power

Putin, Kadyrov

Putin, Assad, Khamenei

Putin, Khamenei

Putin, Orban

Putin, Erdogan

Khamenei, Hezbollah, (Kirchner?)

(Putin), Castro, Maduro

Foreign affairs wonks may summon to mind energy resource competitions and deals plus the murder of Alberto Nisman in order to scratch the chaff on the top of their heads as I do.

The American questions: is Obama humoring the despots or being handled by them?

Or is he faking them out?

There is a problem with behind-the-curtain cabal and deceit: political criminals — political bullies, cowards, and liars (always blend those three into one) — inspire and promote mistrust, transforming cultures of freedom into cults of personality and fear.

Epigram

Hillel the Elder

"That which is distasteful to thee do not do to another. That is the whole of Torah. The rest is commentary. Now go and study."

"If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? If not now, when?"

"Whosoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whosoever that saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world."

Oriana Fallaci
"Whether it comes from a despotic sovereign or an elected president, from a murderous general or a beloved leader, I see power as an inhuman and hateful phenomenon...I have always looked on disobedience toward the oppressive as the only way to use the miracle of having been born."

Talmud 7:16 as Quoted by Rishon Rishon in 2004
Qohelet Raba, 7:16

אכזרי סוף שנעשה אכזרי במקום רחמן

Kol mi shena`asa rahaman bimqom akhzari Sof shena`asa akhzari bimqom rahaman

All who are made to be compassionate in the place of the cruel In the end are made to be cruel in the place of the compassionate.

More colloquially translated: "Those who are kind to the cruel, in the end will be cruel to the kind."

"The purely righteous do not complain about evil, rather they add justice.They do not complain about heresy, rather they add faith.They do not complain about ignorance, rather they add wisdom." From the pages of Arpilei Tohar.

Heinrich Heine

Simon Wiesenthal
Remark Made in the Ballroom of the Imperial Hotel, Vienna, Austria on the occasion of His 90th Birthday: "The Nazis are no more, but we are still here, singing and dancing."

Maimonides
"Truth does not become more true if the whole world were to accept it; nor does it become less true if the whole world were to reject it."

"The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision."

Douglas Adams
"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" Epigram appearing in the dedication of Richard Dawkins' The GOD Delusion.

Thucydides
"The Nation that makes a great distinction between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools."

Milan Kundera
"The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting."

Malala Yousafzai
“The terrorists thought that they would change our aims and stop our ambitions but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.”

Tanit Nima Tinat
"Who could die of love?"

What I Have Said About the Jews

My people, not that I speak for them, I nonetheless describe as a "global ethnic commune with its heart in Jerusalem and soul in the Land of Israel."

We have never given up on God, nor have we ever given up on one another.

Many things we have given up, but no one misses, say, animal sacrifice, and as many things we have kept, so we have still to welcome our Sabbath on Friday at sunset and to rest all of Saturday until three stars appear in the sky.

Most of all, through 5,773 years, wherever life has taken us, through the greatest triumphs and the most awful tragedies, we have preserved our tribal identity and soul, and so shall we continue eternally.

Anti-Semitism / Anti-Zionism = Signal of Fascism

I may suggest that anti-Zionism / anti-Semitism are signal (a little bit) of fascist urges, and the Left -- I'm an old liberal: I know my heart -- has been vulnerable to manipulation by what appears to me as a "Red Brown Green Alliance" driven by a handful of powerful autocrats intent on sustaining a medieval worldview in service to their own glorification. (And there I will stop).
One hopes for knowledge to allay fear; one hopes for love to overmatch hate.

Too often, the security found in the parroting of a loyal lie outweighs the integrity to be earned in confronting and voicing an uncomfortable truth.

Those who make their followers believe absurdities may also make them commit atrocities.

Positively Orwellian: Comment Responding to Claim that the Arab Assault on Israel in 1948 Had Not Intended Annihilation

“Revisionism” is the most contemptible path that power takes to abet theft and hide shame by attempting to alter public perception of past events.

On Press Freedom, Commentary, and Journalism

In the free world, talent -- editors, graphic artists, researchers, writers -- gravitate toward the organizations that suit their interests and values. The result: high integrity and highly reliable reportage and both responsible and thoughtful reasoning.

This is not to suggest that partisan presses don't exist or that propaganda doesn't exist in the west, but any reader possessed of critical thinking ability and genuine independence -- not bought, not programmed -- is certainly free to evaluate the works of earnest reporters and scholars.
