The war on ISIS is a convenient cover for the America vs. Russia proxy war.
If you have been following the news you know that ISIS declared war on both America and Russia. This is very convenient for both the United States and Russia. This declaration gives both America and Russia cover for their terrorist proxy attacks against one another. The way that the story was covered in the media and its wide dissemination indicates that the ruling class is using the psychological warfare technique of priming. Priming is a technique that is used to train people's memory. This is a useful tool for the ruling class because when terrorist attacks happen the lay public have been trained to believe that ISIS did it. And because of the priming most people will never question whether or not ISIS did it. The media is no longer a disseminator of truthful information. They are basically a psychological warfare division aimed at managing popular opinion.
The Paris attack was very sophisticated. The attackers were well armed and trained. It is very hard to believe ISIS, that is not even a nation state, would have had the sophistication and the logistics base needed to pull off such an attack. This was most likely Russia attacking the West using ISIS as a cover, in retaliation for the downing of the Metrojet. Also in the early 2000's Russia has suffered two very similar attacks at the hands of American funded Chechen terrorists. This was also payback in kind. The tensions that exist between Russia and US-NATO are very real. The state of war that exists between Russia and US-NATO is real. With the nuclear saber rattling going on in the background. It is pretty clear that the American Ruling Class is willing to gamble with the lives of the majority of Americans. You can do that when you have off planet bases you can run to.
It appears that Russia will work on breaking up the NATO alliance by going after the weakest links in the chain. There is only so much blow-back that NATO members can sustain without questioning the usefulness of the alliance. America has already pressured France to give up the Mistral deal with Russia. France has now been hit by a Russian proxy attack. Russia's ability to strike in Europe is much greater than their capability to strike with in Fortress America. We should all expect that there will be more of this as the years roll on.

It is questionable whether or not any of the members of the NATO alliance actually have legitimate sovereignty over themselves. I say this because the alliance is clearly not in the interest of the countries involved. It only serves the interests of the American Ruling Class.

THE PROXY WAR CONTINUES IN PARIS
You would not know it from watching the news but Russia and NATO are in a proxy war. Both sides use Islamic Fundamentalists as a cover for their attacks on one another. There has been a great deal of international tension between Russia and NATO/France. France under U.S. pressure revealed their colonial status and stopped the sale of the Mistrals to Russia. Then the Russian Metrojet was brought down by an American/NATO false flag attack. France's Charlie Hebdo made fun of the Russian plane downing that killed 25 Russian children. So, this "terrorist" attack was a Russian False flag attack on France in retaliation for the NATO false flag attack that downed the Russian Metrojet in the Sinai desert and pulling out of the Mistral carrier deal.

Comments on Pliny's Letter to Trajan Concerning Christians
I believe that Pliny's letter to Trajan lends some credence to John Allegro's contention that the early Christians were consuming a communion consisting of the Amanita Muscaria mushroom. Pliny says that the communion was just ordinary food. But the fact that he mentions it all shows that communal meal was itself suspect. The early Christian movement also show some signs of probable eastern influence. I suspect the early Christians were influenced by Buddhist philosophy. The Jesus figure of the Bible spends the same number of days in the desert as Buddha does under the bodhi tree. That is the most obvious one. There are more similarities. I will write on those later.
Pliny, Letters 10.96-97
Pliny to the Emperor Trajan
It is my practice, my lord, to refer to you all matters concerning which I am in doubt. For who can better give guidance to my hesitation or inform my ignorance? I have never participated in trials of Christians. I therefore do not know what offenses it is the practice to punish or investigate, and to what extent. And I have been not a little hesitant as to whether there should be any distinction on account of age or no difference between the very young and the more mature; whether pardon is to be granted for repentance, or, if a man has once been a Christian, it does him no good to have ceased to be one; whether the name itself, even without offenses, or only the offenses associated with the name are to be punished.Meanwhile, in the case of those who were denounced to me as Christians, I have observed the following procedure: I interrogated these as to whether they were Christians; those who confessed I interrogated a second and a third time, threatening them with punishment; those who persisted I ordered executed. For I had no doubt that, whatever the nature of their creed, stubbornness and inflexible obstinacy surely deserve to be punished. There were others possessed of the same folly; but because they were Roman citizens, I signed an order for them to be transferred to Rome.
Soon accusations spread, as usually happens, because of the proceedings going on, and several incidents occurred. An anonymous document was published containing the names of many persons. Those who denied that they were or had been Christians, when they invoked the gods in words dictated by me, offered prayer with incense and wine to your image, which I had ordered to be brought for this purpose together with statues of the gods, and moreover cursed Christ--none of which those who are really Christians, it is said, can be forced to do--these I thought should be discharged. Others named by the informer declared that they were Christians, but then denied it, asserting that they had been but had ceased to be, some three years before, others many years, some as much as twenty-five years. They all worshipped your image and the statues of the gods, and cursed Christ.
They asserted, however, that the sum and substance of their fault or error had been that they were accustomed to meet on a fixed day before dawn and sing responsively a hymn to Christ as to a god, and to bind themselves by oath, not to some crime, but not to commit fraud, theft, or adultery, not falsify their trust, nor to refuse to return a trust when called upon to do so. When this was over, it was their custom to depart and to assemble again to partake of food--but ordinary and innocent food. Even this, they affirmed, they had ceased to do after my edict by which, in accordance with your instructions, I had forbidden political associations. Accordingly, I judged it all the more necessary to find out what the truth was by torturing two female slaves who were called deaconesses. But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition.
I therefore postponed the investigation and hastened to consult you. For the matter seemed to me to warrant consulting you, especially because of the number involved. For many persons of every age, every rank, and also of both sexes are and will be endangered. For the contagion of this superstition has spread not only to the cities but also to the villages and farms. But it seems possible to check and cure it. It is certainly quite clear that the temples, which had been almost deserted, have begun to be frequented, that the established religious rites, long neglected, are being resumed, and that from everywhere sacrificial animals are coming, for which until now very few purchasers could be found. Hence it is easy to imagine what a multitude of people can be reformed if an opportunity for repentance is afforded.
Trajan to Pliny
You observed proper procedure, my dear Pliny, in sifting the cases of those who had been denounced to you as Christians. For it is not possible to lay down any general rule to serve as a kind of fixed standard. They are not to be sought out; if they are denounced and proved guilty, they are to be punished, with this reservation, that whoever denies that he is a Christian and really proves it--that is, by worshiping our gods--even though he was under suspicion in the past, shall obtain pardon through repentance. But anonymously posted accusations ought to have no place in any prosecution. For this is both a dangerous kind of precedent and out of keeping with the spirit of our age.Sunday, 1 November 2015
RT'S INTERVIEW WITH COHEN SUPPORTS THE CONTENTION THAT RT IS A BLACK PROPAGANDA OPERATION
Shall we, then, thus lightly suffer our children to listen to any chance stories fashioned by any chance teachers and so to take into their minds opinions for the most part contrary to those that we shall think it desirable for them to hold when they are grown up? (Plato 377c)
https://www.rt.com/shows/worlds-apart-oksana-boyko/320364-stalin-dramatic-past-russia/
This horrible interview with Stephen Cohen illustrates the extent to which Russia has been more or less conquered by the United States. Playing into the hands of those who claim Stalin was worse than Hitler, Russian media now broadcasts the lie that Stalin killed tens of millions of people. In this case the number given is 20 million people. These estimates are based on the claim Stalin was responsible for the Holodomor. This is the belief that Stalin intentionally created a famine in the Ukraine. These propositions are parroted without any consideration being given to the counter arguments.
The Counter arguments of Michael Parenti and Grover Furr
Grover Furr has done a great deal of work on these topics. His work elucidates the fact that the claims that Stalin killed millions of people lacks evidence. Furr used documents from the Soviet Union's archives to show that the best estimate for deaths in the Gulag stands at around 600,000. This is a far cry from tens of millions. Michael Parenti has pointed out that Stalin did not construct death camps with poison gas showers and crematoria. The equivocation of Hitler with Stalin has no basis in fact. But, it does show the desperation on the part of capitalist historians to excuse Hitler's crimes by making them seem like they pale in comparison to Stalin's.
RT Behaves Like A CIA Black Propaganda Operation
Interviews such as this one and the endless parade of CIA and American Military officials on RT lends credence to the proposition that RT is a Black Propaganda Operation. The Russians have more or less been conquered by the United States. The Russians have been selling their warheads to the United States for the last 20 years. In secret they may very well have been completely disarmed. The Soviets called it quits after being completely encircled by American military bases and enduring Space Based weapons being placed above them. The Soviet leadership lived with the knowledge that they could be wiped out at any moment without any ability to respond. The Russian leadership lives with this same reality. It is because they have been completely conquered that the Russian ruling class has to genuflect and present propaganda painting Stalin as being worse than Hitler, the ultimate villain of Russian history. According to bourgeois historians this is how Stalin should be remembered. They don't want you to see Stalin as the man that industrialized the Soviet Union and defeated Hitler.
Why Are Americans Still Being Brainwashed With Anti-Communist Propaganda?
The reason why we are still being hit with this kind of propaganda has to do with the fact that the American ruling class does not want the lower classes to have a good opinion of communism. This is why I led this post with that quote from Plato.
