SC001 Russia: The Enemy State? I Don't Think So!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the first in my social commentaries where I'm going to be looking at all sorts of issues and trying to lay down what is my view on such a subject. Don't think that you'll be able to predict what will come next because that's what I'm trying to master; the unpredictable.

Today, I wanted to start off by looking at an issue that's on everyone's lips (well, it is if you listen to what rhetoric the media is pumping out!) and that is Russia.

Who's REALLY the Enemy Here?



There's a lot of talk, still, on whether the Kremlin helped the current United States president gain an election victory last November and I for one know where I stand on such an issue; it's McCarthyism all over again.

Now before you get set to flame me for raising such an issue, remember that this is my blog and you stepped on my turf, so hate not the one who dares to go where angels fear to tread!

For a quick history lesson, during the McCarthy era, many accusations were bandied around during the Cuban Missile Crisis where you couldn't move for fear of being labelled pro-Russia. You can read up more on that yourself if you Google it, I'm not here to be your history teacher.

I realise that, in tackling such a subject such as this, I am setting myself up for investigation, lol, should they dare to traverse that road towards anyone that expresses anything even remotely pro-Russian.

I'll tell you one thing and that is that it stinks of control and manipulation because by insisting people set their gaze on Russia, the mainstream media and other anti-Russians are diverting our gaze from the real issues of life to something that is not just going to go away over night.

It appears that, as a true Brit, even our own Prime Minister is starting to get sucked into echoing that rhetoric that Russia are our enemy state. I'm not here to judge, just to report to you the facts as I see them and I've already covered them.

Control.

Manipulation.

In trying to control what people think of a particular nation you are feeding the rhetoric into their brains that even the very people that hail from said nation are to be feared.

Utter nonsense!

In trying to manipulate said opinion, you seek to ostracise said individuals or collectives from the rest of society, which are two things that, as a follower of Jesus, that I am actively encouraged not to do!

No Longer a Slave to Fear


Jesus never taught us to fear, did He?

He never told us to be afraid of our neighbour and therefore, neither should I and neither should any of you reading this.

I got bored of sitting on the fence whilst I was off my blog so thought it time to get back down before the splinters settle in and let you all know where I stand on the issues of the day.

If you believe what certain people say within the mainstream media (let's keep it simple and call them M.S.M. so that, no matter your nationality, you know who I'm referring to, rather than just "the media" as is often the case when mentioned elsewhere) then we are headed towards another cold war. There are Russian spies everywhere.

Just take a look at the story that broke recently about the Russian software company Kaspersky and its apparent affiliations with the N.S.A. of America. Now, if you believe what's been reported then you'll be stripping your computers of all Kaspersky software as I speak, won't you?

Instead of... wait a minute... making up your own dang mind instead of letting M.S.M. tell you who or what to fear.

Closing Thoughts


Naturally, I can't end this article without bringing into the fray the Russia-backed news channel RT who I'm a staunch supporter of even as they are gradually being isolated from Capitol Hill and likely, elsewhere in the time to come.

Unlike so many other networks like your Fox and your ABC etc, I find that in my opinion, the presenters on RT have a way of bringing the news as down the middle as it gets. They don't trigger a bias within me, instead presenting the facts so that I can make up my own mind.

Presenters like Tyrel Ventura, Sean Stone & Tabitha Wallace fronting the program Watching the Hawks, have enlightened me to stories that would never make the news over here in Britain (for whatever reason that is!) and allow me to feel like I'm being fed the stories of what is really happening in this world.

A sad fact lost on many of the other news networks who seem incapable of just presenting the story as they are filled with moments as less-than-subtle as hinting at how you should feel about their subject that they've put all of their hard work and time into putting together.

LIES, ALL LIES!!!

You didn't put the time and effort into it, you were told what to put into it because you knew that reporting it in said manner would get the biggest reaction from the general populace!

Of course, supporters of these measures might see me, now, as a voice that's been fooled by the pro-Russia people the McCarthyites warned us all about but to that I say: -
Who's the bigger fool? The one who has been fooled or the one who thinks he hasn't been fooled by the fool who's no fool at all?
What will I tackle next time? I don't know yet, it's just that this has been burning a hole in my chest as I speak this to let this all out there.

Peace... and duct-tape!
