Russia, not US, won WWII

Russia, not US, won WWII

The 70th anniversary of Russia’s defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II was celebrated last Saturday, May 9.  I missed the live broadcast on RT (Russia Today) but watched it on YouTube.

 

The real highlight of the celebration was the march of at least 300,000 Russian people holding portraits of their relatives who fought and died in the Great Patriotic War.  Officially, 27 million Russian soldiers and citizens sacrificed their lives and not a single Russian family today is without one or more family member who died in that war.  But there is more Filipinos should know that their US-enslaved colonial mentality has not afforded them.

 

Few Filipinos know that Russians were a major factor for the early end of World War II in the Pacific.  Two months after the end of World War II in Europe at midnight of August 9, 1945, Russia liberated Northeastern China with its invasion of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo.  The Japanese had hoped that Russia, which had remained neutral on Japan until that hour, could help broker a better surrender deal with the US.  But the shock of Russia’s entry into the war against them when the atomic bomb had been exploded just three days before at Hiroshima precipitated the immediate surrender of the Japanese.  For this the Philippines also owes much to Russia.

 

Today the US shows that its leaders did not involve themselves in World War II for the good of mankind and humanity.  Their actions 70 years later in creating global chaos, murder and mayhem from Afghanistan, to Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Ukraine, with the US military and its hired thug, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, have made the world economically so much poorer while enriching the global financiers of war industries.

 

And so their boycott of the Moscow 70th Victory Day celebrations only confirms US Gen. Smedley Butler’s curse: “War is a Racket.”  All wars are bankers’ wars.  Now that China, which is also helping Latin American and Africa, is overtaking the West, the US also seeks to “pivot” its wars to Asia.

 

World War II was engineered to destroy Russia, which was then transitioning from a feudal state to a rising industrial economy.  According to reformed-theology.org, “The largest contributor to (Adolf Hitler’s) fund was IG Farben (a German chemical industry conglomerate) … 45 percent of the funds for the 1933 election (when Hitler’s party gained plurality) came from (it).  If we look at the directors of (the) American (branch of) IG Farben … (listed down are) Edsel B. Ford of the Ford Motor Company, Charles E. Mitchell of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and Walter Teagle, director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Georgia Warm Springs Foundation.

 

The site further adds, “Paul M. Warburg, first director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and chairman of the Bank of Manhattan… brother Max Warburg… also a director of IG Farben, H.A. Metz of IG Farben… director of Warburg’s Bank of Manhattan… Carl Bosch of American IG Farben… director of Ford Motor Company A-G in Germany… (Although these) board members of American IG Farben were found guilty at the Nuremburg War Crimes Trials: Max Ilgner, F. Ter Meer, and Hermann Schmitz… American board members--Edsel Ford, Charles E. Mitchell, Walter Teagle, and Paul Warburg--were not placed on trial… not even questioned about their knowledge of the 1933 Hitler fund.”

 

The Western bankers are experts at corrupting governments and subversives to fight their wars while subduing uncooperative governments or simply creating chaos for those they cannot control.

 

Now it is Vladimir Putin’s government persisting in defending Russian sovereignty and compelling the Russian financial class to serve Russian interests, not Western bankers’.  Before, it was the destruction of Libya (led by Col. Muammar Gaddafi), which was issuing its own gold dinar independent of Western bankers’ control; and before that Saddam Hussein, who went around the US dollar in selling Iraq’s oil; same with the Talibans, who refused Unocal’s demand for a pipeline through Afghanistan.

 

The US and other Western leaders’ boycott of the Moscow Victory Day celebration succeeded only in isolating the West.  China’s President Xi Jinping stood beside President Putin while India sent a contingent of military honor guard troops to march at the parade along with several other countries, including a contingent from China representing its three major services.  Other BRICS and SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) member-countries were also there in force.

 

Russia paraded its latest Armata tank, its Yars ICBM, Tu-160 strategic bombers, two blade helicopters, heavy lift planes, and most of all its army that minced Napoleon and Hitler’s formidable armies as a reminder to the US if it ever tries.

 

On September 2, 2015 it will be China’s turn to celebrate its 70th victory anniversary in the war against Japanese Imperialism.  Will the Philippines boycott that celebration as well or will it be on the truthful and right side of history?
