WWII-related spin casts shadows on our V-Day

How do you spin a war, 64 years in the past? Piece of cake. You just concentrate on a few conspiracy theories to make the story (or history) interesting, and add something that serves as a delivery vehicle for your spin.

This might have some good points, except that it is so badly written and with such a lack of clear logical progression, that it is hard to evaluate.

I think you should thank Jevgenij Bielenkij for his contributions, from his Spin-o-wars since I think January. I always enjoyed his insightful and professional journalism, trying to be as unbiased as possible, explaining stuff very well. Spasibo boľšoje z vostočnej Slovakii.

The "Spin-a-War" "On Terror" campaign was and remains the campagn - in my mind - where the USA Military Industrial Complex the Metal Mining Conglomerates and the USA Oil Dynasties and their foreign Partners [which include the Bin Laden family of Saudi Arabia - direct relatives to the Saudi [sic?] Royal Family] joined forces to bring about an international reign of fascist forces. The excuse to make it public on and immediately after "9/11" was the acts of revenge on those entities by radicals from Latin America on the 20th anniversary of the first attempt to impose fascism in Chile and then Argentina by those forces within the USA administration and related industries. The quest to "liberate" Afghani women was a pretext to allow "Big Business" the means to exploit mineral resources in Afghanistan following the CIA-inspired Ruanda-Burundi coups attempts that sparked the disater of genocide there - both for the wealth that "felspar" brings. The second Iraq invasion was a panic attack. It was inspired when Big Business in Europe released details of an agreement for Iraqi "Oil" to be under the French government control for the then next 50 years. The disaster in Darfur is solely inspired by the desparate control and/or ownership of Oil and Mineral reserves there. Anyone and any excuse is the scapegoat that triggers anew the cry of impending "Terror". Yet it is USA-based Big Business that is the Terrorist today!! Religious bigotry aids and abets such to the point of being akin to fascism as with the case of the maltreatment of Palestinians by the Big Business puppet Israel on behalf of the international reactionary forces of Capitalism throughout the World. Another case in point is the carnage in the Balkans under the pretext of bringing nations back into the fold of the "West" using the USA Military Industrial Complex puppet NATO. Is the same to be "inspired" in the Caucasus next?? "What's To Be Done"?? Where Do We Proletarian Democratic Forces Begin?? What form should Our "United Front" be in the face of this kind of institutional Terror?? ///snowyone.
