The Russian Media Thinks a Race War Is Brewing in America
The New Republic ^ | August 15, 2014 | Josh Kovensky

he protests in Ferguson, Missouri, over the police killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown are eliciting predictable glee from Russian media outlets, some of which are making it seem as if a race war is about to break out in America.

An RT article, “Protests Against Police Tyranny have Spread Across the Main Cities of the USA," suggested that the nation is on the brink of chaos as the "rage of Americans ... spreads across the entire country." Sputink i Pogrom, a nationalist newsmagazine, tweeted out, "What do you think? Should Russia grant Obama asylum in Rostov after the Ferguson Maidanites occupy Washington?" And Svobodnaya Pressa, a popular Russian news website, ran an article calling the Ferguson protests “AfroMaidan,” in reference to Euromaidan protests in Kiev, Ukraine, earlier this year.

In that Svobodnaya Pressa article, Sergei Bespalov, the docent of the humanities division of the Russian Academy of Agriculture and State Service, attributes the events in Ferguson in part to the “fact” that white Americans have “prejudice towards African-Americans … in their blood.” Bespalov predicts further unrest, adding that “if [Obamacare] is cancelled, this could … provoke racial conflicts,” and that “a significant part of African-Americans and Latinos could perceive [Obamacare’s cancellation] as a challenge from the white majority.”

It’s hardly surprising that the Russian media jumped on the opportunity to use the events in Ferguson as “proof” of American hypocrisy. But explicitly linking Ferguson to Maidan reveals the Kremlin's deep fear of dissent—the fear that any breakdown in authority will automatically lead to widespread chaos. Look at what happens, these articles imply, when you give the people too much power.

Well, Assad’s Alawites immediately come to mind. They number only 10% of the population, but old Hafez stacked the entire Syrian military with them.

Saddam also didn’t do too badly when it came to tyrannizing the majority, although he had a bit more to work with.

When has a 12% minority ever defeated a 72% majority in world history? I can think of no such example and I’m a pretty big history buff. Can anyone here show me such an occasion?

7 As dangerous as this world is, the entire menagerie of leftist interest groups - racialists, environmentalists, feminists, etc - are well on their way to putting America in a world of sh*t and get a bunch of Americans killed very quickly. ...

I would adjust the arithmetic to 50% vs. 50%.

8 CIA / OLD KGB time and efficiency rule # 1: If you are trying to conquer a territory and there are divided factions within it fan the flames of war and let them kill themselves first then move in and take it over. Much ammo, time and money saved...

Bolshevik Revolution ~ 1 month after 1917 Russian Revolution. Castro in 1959 Cuba.

15 Bottom line...Gods withdrawing his protection over our nation as it once was....letting man see himself for what he really is and that he cannot control the basic nature within ..alone.

Agreed.

23 ... This is a left-wing, almost entirely white, faculty lounge/press-room/union-hall/NGO/board-room led insurgency using Mr. Obama as a mascot, talisman and shield against calls to slow down, any arguments, impeachment and the like. Blacks didn’t bring us Obamacare, gays in the military, cash-for-clunkers, the stimulus, gay marriage and all the rest, leftist whites did.

1881-1937 - Antonio Gramsci - Gramsci called for Marxists to actively spread their ideology in a gradual, incremental, stealth manner, by infiltrating all existing societal institutions and embedding it, largely without being noticed, in the popular mind. This, he emphasized, was to be an evolutionary, rather than a revolutionary, process that, over a period of decades, would cause an ever-increasing number of people to embrace Marxist thought, until at last it achieved hegemony. Gramsci described this approach as a “long march through the institutions.” Among the key institutions that would need to be infiltrated were the cinema and theater, the schools and universities, the seminaries and churches, the media, the courts, the labor unions, and at least 1 major political party. According to Gramsci, these institutions constituted society's “superstructure,” which, if captured and reshaped by Marxists, could lead the masses to abandon capitalism of their own volition, entirely without resistance or objection.

28 The Russian media is acutely perceptive. When it comes to reporting what is going on in the US, most foreign media, which have no compelling reason to support the Current Occupant now squatting in the White Hut, are able to make a much more unbiased assessment of what is going on here. ...

11/19/2012 - Pravda, 11/19/2012, Obama’s Soviet Mistake

Xavier Lerma wrote an article in the Russian political newspaper, Pravda, (Правда; = "Truth"). The newspaper was started by Russian revolutionaries during pre-WWI days. After the dissolution of the U.S.S.R., Pravda was closed down by then Russian President Boris Yeltsin in 1991. The Communist Party of Russian Federation acquired the newspaper in 1997 and established it as its principal mouthpiece. Excerpts below …

Putin in 2009 outlined his strategy for economic success. Alas, poor Obama did the opposite but nevertheless was re-elected. Bye, bye Miss American Pie. The Communists have won in America with Obama but failed miserably in Russia with Zyuganov who only received 17% of the vote. Vladimir Putin was re-elected as President keeping the NWO order out of Russia while America continues to repeat the Soviet mistake. …

Recently, Obama has been re-elected for a 2nd term by an illiterate society and he is ready to continue his lies of less taxes while he raises them. He gives speeches of peace and love in the world while he promotes wars as he did in Egypt, Libya and Syria. He plans his next war is with Iran as he fires or demotes his generals who get in the way. …

Well, any normal individual understands that as true but liberalism is a psychosis. O'bomber even keeps the war going along the Mexican border with projects like "fast and furious" and there is still no sign of ending it. He is a Communist without question promoting the Communist Manifesto without calling it so. How shrewd he is in America. His cult of personality mesmerizes those who cannot go beyond their ignorance. They will continue to follow him like those fools who still praise Lenin and Stalin in Russia. Obama's fools and Stalin's fools share the same drink of illusion. …

President Vladimir Putin could never have imagined anyone so ignorant or so willing to destroy their people like Obama much less seeing millions vote for someone like Obama. They read history in America don't they? Alas, the schools in the U.S. were conquered by the Communists long ago and history was revised thus paving the way for their Communist presidents. Obama has bailed out those businesses that voted for him and increased the debt to over 16 trillion with an ever increasing unemployment rate especially among blacks and other minorities. All the while promoting his agenda. …

The red, white and blue still flies happily but only in Russia. Russia still has St George defeating the Dragon with the symbol of the cross on its' flag. The ACLU and other atheist groups in America would never allow the US flag with such religious symbols. Lawsuits a plenty against religious freedom and expression in the land of the free. Christianity in the U.S. is under attack as it was during the early period of the Soviet Union when religious symbols were against the law.

Let's give American voters the benefit of the doubt and say it was all voter fraud and not ignorance or stupidity in electing a man who does not even know what to do and refuses help from Russia when there was an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Instead we'll say it's true that the Communists usage of electronic voting was just a plan to manipulate the vote. Soros and his ownership of the company that counts the US votes in Spain (SCYTL) helped put their puppet in power in the White House. According to the Huffington Post, residents in all 50 states have filed petitions to secede from the United States. We'll say that these Americans are hostages to the Communists in power. How long will their government reign tyranny upon them?

Russia lost its' civil war with the Reds and millions suffered torture and death for almost 75 years under the tyranny of the United Soviet Socialist Republic. Russians survived with a new and stronger faith in God and ever growing Christian Church. The question is how long will the once "Land of the Free" remain the United Socialist States of America? Their suffering has only begun. …

32 Obama attended racial hate rallies at Jeremiah’s “church” for 20 years. ...

1988 – 2008 - BHO was a member of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s (a former Muslim and friend of Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan) Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for 20 years. Excerpts of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s speeches …

 “The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color. The government lied.”
 “We started the AIDS virus. … We are only able to maintain our level of living by making sure that 3rd World people live in grinding poverty.”
 “White folk done took this country. You’re in their home, and they’re gonna let you know it. You are not now, nor have you ever been, nor will you ever be a brother to white folk and if you do not realize that, you are in serious trouble.”
 “Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run. No black man will ever be considered for president, no matter how hard you run Jesse [Jackson] and no black woman can ever be considered for anything outside what she can give with her body.”
 “In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01. White America and the western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’ as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.”
 “We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost.”
 “America is still the No. 1 killer in the world.”
 “(The United States) is the same as al-Qaeda, under a different color flag, calling on the name of a different God to sanction and approve our murder and our mayhem!”
 “The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a 3-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God d*mn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people. God d*mn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God d*mn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.”
 “It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in 1 hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere. That’s the world! On which hope sits!”

I make this point to my friends a lot. I remember the Panthers saying they were going to have a revolution and take over America. Figure 12%, half of which are women which leaves 6%. 20% of the 6% are in prison and another 20% of the remainder are too old or drugged up to be of use. That leaves 3.6%. Good luck with all that skippy.

It has started a long time ago, but only one side has been fighting and screaming over every minor scratch as if it was a serious injury.

So far, there has been a simmering 'war on white people'. Crime statistics speak the truth, while the MSM covers it up and makes it seem that the opposite, is - in fact, what is happening.

It is, however, all going in a very bad direction.

It took’m THIS long to find it out?

Hey y’all, we are not a melting pot but a pressure cooker without a relief valve. Know of one country that is more diversified than the US?

And I am not even talking about the muzzies that are here — that’s an entirely different story that will not end well.

Nope. Either the majority of Americans aren’t racist or it was vote fraud both times.

Anything coming from Russian media needs to be strained through a bs filter... there is nothing left after the filtering.

If this happened in Putin’s Russia half of them would be lying in the streets dead the other half in prison found guilty without trial.

The whole talk of a nation-wide race war is rather ridiculous considering how few blacks or other minorities there are in many American areas. Here in the upper Midwest, there is only a very tiny pct. of blacks outside the big cities like Minneapolis-St. Paul and Milwaukee. Most black people in the small cities are law-abiding. Plus, there is a huge amount of guns among the citizenry up here. Even many Dems here own guns and would not look kindly on their property being burned down by anyone.

If the small white population of South Africa had decided to permanently separate themselves from black South Africans, they would have had little problem doing so. Unfortunately they didn’t, and now S. Africa is a ruined state.

If it came down to separate countries for the purposes of avoiding a civil war, many white libs would align with the minorities. But after about five years a very large pct. of those white libs would be pounding on the border wall, begging and pleading to be let back into the conservative country. Within a very short time all white libs would discover that they are just some other white people who would have many laws passed discriminating against them. Think Zimbabwe and South Africa. That's if their entire wealth was not outright confiscated (likely) by the new rulers of The Socialist States of America.

I would not put some kind of racial litmus test on who could live in the conservative country. All people of any ethnicity would simply have to vow to abide by the principles of the constitution. No favors to any ethnic group. Any group or people trying to seek special favors due to their race or ethnicity would be escorted to the border and thrown over the 100 ft high wall separating the countries.

But the truth will come out that too much diversity is not the success story that the leftists claim it is.
