Group of Czech and Slovak reservists will not support NATO in a war against Russia
Czechoslovak reserve forces against the war planned by NATO commanders
On January 19th 2015 the facebook group, which
combines all members of the CSLA, PS, VMV, SNB in reserve or
decommissioned, issued an important memorandum, which has become even
more urgent in light of the situation today. A defensive back up
location in the event that the group gets „disappeared“ from Facebook,
the group of the same name exists on VK.com. as well.
For the first time since the end of the 2nd World War we see a
genuine threat of war yet again. Consequently, we consider it necessary
to issue the following statement.
We, the Czechoslovak soldiers in reserve, unanimously reject
any participation in battles that are geopolitical acts of aggression of
the global elite by way of NATO and the support of our governments.
We swore to defend our homeland the Czech and Slovak Republics. We
swore to protect the freedom and independence of our proud and sovereign
nations, for which our ancestors laid down their lives in the world
wars. We are guided by this oath in a civilian initiative to deal with a
crisis situation. Freedom and independence is being jeopardized long
time by a system of representative pseudo-democracy, where an elected
representative does not have the obligation to advance the interests of
voters and in practice, laws represent but the personal interests of the
legislators, the interests of political parties and economic interest
groups. Our homeland is under the pressure of global elites and economic
interest groups, who are doing away with the power of citizens through a
system of representative democracy.
Our deliberately flawed constitution and charter of rights and
freedoms is being perverted and constitutional laws are violated by
legislators themselves. Legislative power is being privatized, executive
power is being politicized and judicial power corrupted by lobbying
laws and pressure from our governments. The results are an unplayable
public deficit, deindustrialization, the privatization of the republic’s
property and defrauded budgets, food and energy dependence, the
privatization of natural resources, pensions and the health of citizens.
Our country has been unlawfully divided, looted, indebted, people
enslaved and their families liquidated by repossession genocide,
national infrastructure transferred into the hands of western
corporations. Destructive chaos and despair dominates in the community.
For this reason, we the Czechoslovak soldiers in reserve recognize
our military oath and together we come with a vision for the defense of
our nations. We unequivocally reject fighting in the ranks of NATO
against the Russian federation or other Slavic nations and we likewise
intend to stand up firmly through organized civilian pressure against
the further liquidation of our democracy, freedom and independence. We
are uniting in a crisis situation and by utilizing our civilian and
military skills and expertise we intend to create sufficiently strong,
organized civil pressure for the period of time necessary to assert our
patriotic goals.
We swore allegiance to our homeland, the Czech and Slovak Republics.
We, the Czechoslovak reserve soldiers, will fulfill this oath!

The Ukraine Crisis Remains Unresolved — Paul Craig Roberts

The Ukraine Crisis Remains Unresolved
Paul Craig Roberts
Some Western commentators interpret the cease fire in Ukraine
obtained by President Putin as a victory for Russia. The reasoning is
that the cease fire leaves Ukraine with disputed borders, which rules
out Ukraine’s membership in NATO.
But will the cease fire hold? The right-wing Kiev militias, whose
members often wear nazi insignias, are not under Kiev’s complete
control. These militias can easily violate the cease fire, and there
are already reports of violations. Moreover the billionaire oligarch
that Washington has installed in Kiev as president of Ukraine will
violate the ceasefire on Washington’s orders, unless, of course, Putin
has put the fear of God in him.
To a military strategist the Russian response to the trouble that
Washington has caused Russia in Ukraine, longer a part of Russia than
the US has existed, is a mystery. Russia lost Ukraine because of its
weakness when the Soviet Union collapsed, and Washington forced Russia
to permit an independent Ukraine, which served Washington’s purpose of
breaking up the Russian Federation.
The western Ukrainians, who fought for Hitler during World War II,
maintained an impressive lobby organization in Washington and secured
their independent country, but they did not control Ukraine because much
of the country consists of former Russian territories made part of
Ukraine by Soviet leaders in the 20th century.
Blood ties from intermarriage over centuries and tied economic
interrelationships between Russia and Ukraine achieved over centuries
essentially left Ukraine as part of Russia, where it has resided for
centuries.
This frustrated the World Empire Neoconservatives, who have
controlled the US government since the corrupt Clintons, whose regime
brought Third World corruption into American political life. Remember
Robert Reich, Clinton’s university friend and Secretary of Labor who
resigned from Clinton’s cabinet on principle. Clinton betrayed the
constituency that elected him, as did Obama. Clinton’s two-timed wife,
allied with Zionist Israel, the banksters, and the military/security
complex, is the Democrats’ current favorite for their next presidential
nominee.
As it was in Rome, dynasties are now the sources of US presidential
leadership. And as it was in Rome, the US is on the path to
destruction, which occurs when the ambitions of leaders take precedence
over the fate of the country.
Keeping Ukraine out of NATO is no doubt a goal of the Russian
government. However, the trouble that Washington brought to Russia in
Ukraine–by orchestrating a coup, installing a puppet government, and
unleashing violence against the residents of the former Russian
territories that Soviet leaders attached to Ukraine–is being used for
wider purposes than to incorporate Ukraine within NATO.
In other words, Washington’s strategic goals go beyond NATO membership for Ukraine.
One goal is to break apart the economic and political relationships
between Europe and Russia. By using Ukraine to demonize Russia,
Washington has pushed the European Union into imposing sanctions on
Russia that disrupt the trade relationships and create distrust.
The distrust serves Washington’s purpose. Washington has demonstrated
to Russia that Washington’s bought and-paid-for European politicians
are unwilling to have foreign policies independent of Washington’s.
Europe’s lack of an independent policy means that the Russian government
is hampered in its use of diplomacy.
Another Washington goal is to build up military forces on Russia’s
borders. NATO has used the “crisis” to stoke fear of Russia in the
Baltics and in Poland. Washington and NATO generals speak of Russian
attacks as if it is a foregone conclusion that Russia intends to invade
Eastern Europe. To protect against the “Russian threat,” NATO has
created a “quick reaction force” and is building up supplies of military
equipment and new bases on Russia’s borders. Whatever the outcome in
Ukraine, Washington has used Ukraine to start a new Cold War.
The Western presstitute media, a collection of government
propagandists, has misrepresented the situation in Ukraine from the
beginning. In place of news coverage, there has been propaganda against
Russia. Consequently, Western peoples who rely on the media are
misinformed about Ukraine and place all blame on Russia. The fact that
the American people are misinformed makes it easy for Washington to
continue to orchestrate events to Russia’s disadvantage.
Washington has no interest in resolving the troubles in Ukraine.
Washington has successfully used Ukraine to create fear of Russia both
in Europe and in the United States. Washington has successfully used
Ukraine to damage European-Russian economic and political relations, and
Washington has succeeded in starting a new Cold War that will keep
profits flowing into the US military/security complex.
As the Kiev government is Washington’s puppet, there is no reason to
expect a resolution of the conflict that Washington brought to Ukraine
and to Russia.
It is not only Washington that rejects a resolution of the Ukrainian
difficulties created by Washington, but also the EU. Washington’s
puppet, Herman Van Rompuy, President of the Washington front group – the
European Council – announced, if news reports are correct, which they
seldom are, that the European Union is imposing sanctions on the Russian
energy firms Rosneft, Gazpromneft and Transneft as well as state-run
companies with turnover of more than $27 billion a year.
The Russian response to this audacity should be to turn off the gas in the winter without warning. All of it.
As Putin’s interest is to separate Europe from Washington’s control,
this would do it. All of East and West Europe and Ukraine would be on
their knees in Moscow begging for the energy to be turned back on. All
Putin would have to say is
“only non-NATO members get gas.”
That would bring an end to Washington’s assault on Russia.
The American neoconservatives, a deranged cadre of warmongers, are
denouncing Obama for “weakness” for not sending troops to Ukraine. The
neocons, who have involved the US since the Clinton regime in costly and
failed US military aggressions abroad, claim that Obama’s leadership
has resulted in NATO loosing its will and its muscle.
It remains for the Russian government to demonstrate that all muscle over Ukraine and Europe resides in Moscow.
