Western elites have honed reliable tactics over the years which have been most effective in undermining the governance of nations they wish to disrupt and control.
The tactics hardly differ from nation to nation and many of them were developed as far back as during World War Two and certainly during the Cold War. They say there is nothing new under the sun and in terms of espionage and the subversion of native states this is especially true.
The USA and UK are the most prolific nations when it comes to interference in the affairs of sovereign states at all levels and though it is not much spoken about they are quite unashamed about it.
Why is that?
The justification for why they can do what they do with impunity and other nations are labeled heinously criminal when accused of doing anything similar is quite easy to explain and understand.
No matter what accusation anyone may throw at western elites going back to every underhanded act of espionage, subversion, misinformation, assassination, coup or outright military attack stretching back 75 years it hardly ever appears to reaches its target.
Why is this?
The reason is a blanket meme that provides a complete gloss of immunity to western elites which is accepted by all the most powerful media organizations on the planet while being accepted also by every national government that are allies to the USA and all powers within its orbit.
What is the message of this meme?
The message of this all-pervasive meme is that the West is the epitome of good governance with an almost sacred duty to discipline all lesser individuals, group and nations. This status automatically puts it above all other modes of good governance including international law.
Just as a judge presiding over a court case has unquestionable authority western elites constantly refresh the meme through all media forms that states their intentions never waver from being for the universal good of all and that questioning this status is clearly utterly inappropriate.
You won’t find western mainstream media doubting this meme or the good intentions of western elites when they go to war. Never. Ever. Not in the way that other nations’ intentions can be and are doubted. No matter how many civilian casualties may be incurred in any western war of choice you will never hear any outright condemnation. But during the height of the fighting in Syria, Russia was directly accused of attacking schools and hospitals with malice aforethought and no one so much as batted an eyelid. Only the West’s “enemies" can be judged so, condemned and made to pay a price. This is the West as judge and jury... and legally authorized executioner.
Western elites regard themselves as the most noble souls on the planet who unfortunately find they must do some largely unmentionable things to wrongdoers. This notion they ensure becomes a sub-consciously accepted truth and everything they do is imbued with this concept and channeled through every announcement, speech and western geopolitical news item as a given. It is purveyed universally as an accepted fact across the entire mainstream.
This “fact” has been delivered into every western brain with hypnotic regularity for decade after decade since the end of WWII. It is conveyed through every nuanced level and intimation of deference via each and every interview, speech and announcement. The conditioning of western audiences via this meme has been second to second and year to year in wraparound style from every quarter and the vast majority of westerners have accepted it as constituting everyday normality. Unquestioningly so.
This is the
starting point at which the West proceeds to seek the undermining of
other nations’ systems of governance, that the starting point is that
nothing they do can possibly be wrong, immoral or unethical. It is all
done for the common good of humanity. This is why the USA has not signed
up to be subject to the International Criminal Court... for how could
anyone else possibly deign to ever judge the USA? It can admit to “mistakes”,
yes. But it can never allow itself to be found guilty.
When you consider you have a God-given duty to correct the rest of the world, a holy mission to look perpetually down from on high (from a shining Christian city on the hill) at the rascals, malcontents and reprehensible rogue elements below you then your task becomes clear. Elevating yourselves to that impossibly high status brings with it such great responsibilities where you can justify almost anything you do. Mere laws and the usual moral or ethical norms don't apply to you you believe and cannot be allowed to get in the way of your task or hinder you in the least.
Therefore, using terrorist proxies can be deemed necessary and therefore permissible. Telling any compellingly believable convenient lie also. Spreading misinformation becomes a valuable tool using a vast network of Reuters, BBC and other network staffers who are readily at your beck and call. Locating, training and funding dissidents inside target nations to create maximum chaos becomes a “good” deed to “fine” ends. The use of sanctions to undermine economies is another “good” deed designed to attain laudable goals. Slandering leaders and getting your allies to join in the chorus is seen as beneficial and worthwhile, something to be dressed up as a laudable act of solidarity.
And all this can be done under the universal western umbrella of a sanctified, universally blessed purity of purpose.
These or very similar tactics have been going on for thousands of years of course. Every time an enemy of some state or group of aligned states was identified the same disruption machine of total negativity was cranked up against them. From the top come the narratives for public consumption that keep the population stirred up, hate-fueled and in fear of the devils ‘over there’. Whenever possible dissident or plain greedy agents within the target nations or forces are used to create the maximum chaos and supplied with munitions to instigate sabotage. Anything and everything is deployed to weaken, and if possible, destroy the enemy. Bar none.
Western elites have been at war with Russia since at least 2007 when Vladimir Putin revealed that he saw a multi-polar world as democratic and a uni-polar world as dictatorial. It was unarguable. After the collapse of the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact the elites of the West, particularly those of the USA assumed the mantle of Global Governance. This was after all the abiding meme that had been lovingly nurtured and broadcast since the end of WWII, the West is Best and it maintains the lawful governance of the world and all within it as a sacred duty. No nation was welcome within that all-encompassing and self-asserting nobility of purpose unless it was fully subservient. The acknowledgement of your superiors had to be fulsome and sincere, fully acknowledging who was the boss and who served the wishes of the boss.
When Russia suffered a collapse unimaginable in scale every elite across the entire western world breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the prospect of an eternally weak Russia forever beholden to western experts and elites and the enormous influence they would have.
Putin said no. We’re not signing up to that future. We have a long and noble history. The Russian nation will be proud, noble and powerful once again. We won’t be lectured to as a wayward child, made to bow and scrape before any tyrant with a stick to beat us with if we are unruly. We will work together and gladly with other nations within a multi-polar world. But we will never be treated as an underling requiring to be obedient to any other nation’s random whim. This cannot in good conscience ever be contemplated as the future for Russia.
For this he became Public Enemy Number One in the West. A target for subversion and elimination. So Putin and Russia joined the long list of nations and individuals who were targets for regime change and subject to every dirty trick in the playbook long designed for that very purpose.
