digest note: why US global domination agenda makes big use worldwide of its terrorist proxy 'indirect leverage'
US leverage is diminished by needing Russia's help negotiating an Iranian nuclear deal and ending Syria's war. The US also needs Russian supply routes to move out of Afghanistan

Obama’s War Against Civilization

U.S. frenzy of regime-changing aggression, aimed at destabilizing or destroying sovereign states... Obama’s signature is written in blood around the world, as he pursues “full spectrum, no-holds-barred, war-without-boundaries against all potential resistance to U.S. imperial rule, anywhere on the planet.”...


USA vs. the World
Margaret Kimberley

President Obama has placed whole nations on his Kill List. Syria and Venezuela are to join Libya and Iraq as states that have been made to fail, while Ukraine is snatched into the NATO-EU orbit. “The neo-conservative project for a new American century has reached full fruition under a Democratic president, who now has many notches on his gun.”...

New Dimensions of U.S. Foreign Policy Toward Russia,
2/11/14 By George Friedman, Stratfor, Geopolitical Intelligence, www.stratfor.com/ weekly/ new-dimensions-us-foreign-policy-toward-russia -

The struggle for some of the most strategic territory in the world took an interesting twist this week. Last week we discussed what appeared to be a significant shift in German national strategy in which Berlin seemed to declare a new doctrine of increased assertiveness in the world -- a shift that followed intense German interest in Ukraine. This week, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, in a now-famous cellphone conversation declared strong contempt for the European Union and its weakness and counseled the US ambassador to Ukraine to proceed quickly without the Europeans to piece together a specified opposition coalition before the Russians saw what was happening and took action.

"Sowing discord among Western allies is a tactical maneuver, straight out of the Soviet playbook"
Awaiting Russia’s Next Move in Ukraine
2/10/14 Celestine Bohlen, http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/11/world/europe/awaiting-russias-next-mov...
Western diplomats worry over possibility of more aggressive moves by Russia once the Sochi Games are over. Sowing discord among Western allies is a tactical maneuver, straight out of the Soviet playbook. What worries Western diplomats is the possibility of more aggressive moves by Russia once the Sochi Games are over... All agree the stakes are high in what is sounding more and more like an eerie replay of the Cold War. A Russian official accused the US of “crudely interfering” in Ukrainian politics, while a US diplomat in a taped conversation, warned that the Russians would surely “be working behind the scenes to torpedo” any agreement brokered in Kiev by the West. When the Olympics end, the competition over the future of Ukraine will still be going on. The question is how leaders in Russia and the West choose to play it out.

OLYMPIC INTER-IMPERIALIST 'GAMES'
Geostrategic capitalist politics drive the games: The 2o14 Olympics is a crucial nodal point in US efforts destabilize Russia, one of the two re-born capitalists, which with China, threaten US global dominance, and thus the survival of US finance capital.
The media psywar is also laying the foundations for terrorist attacks it is predicting -- by Chechen terrorists -- with whom the US has long, deep connections, as you'll see.

Olympics bring us all together with pride, passion and patriotism
8/13/12 http://www.johnsoncitypress.com/Opinion/article.php?id=101813
Is there a more majestic sound than “Bugler’s Dream,” the Olympic theme song, as it heralds television coverage of the games? It’s topped only by the triumphant sound of “The Star Spangled Banner” played at medal ceremonies throughout the games and perhaps a roaring crowd chanting “USA! USA! USA!” ...I love the Olympics and the Summer Games particularly. There’s something about the games that bring people together and renew our collective sense of American pride...Unfortunately, politics or world events sometimes enter the Olympic arena. But at best, the Olympics represent hope, passion, unity, courage, determination and patriotism.

...In 2012 players suffered 1,496 severe injuries...the highest total in the study which goes back to 2004, and the frequency of severe injuries continues to rise. The NFL would like to believe the game has been made safer through changes to equipment and rules and that the increase in severe injuries is the result of better treatment. So far, data analysis does not support that, but more changes are coming to the league.From the Saints’ Bountygate scandal to the suicide of retired star Junior Seau...

The US war for Africa, using mainly client state French and African proxy ground forces, is failing. A timely "al-qaeda resurgence' means more on the ground AFRICOM action.
Not timely however is Dieudonné growing popularity. The Franco-African political activist author, actor, comedian who keeps hitting where it hurts most, belittling the beast to the joy of millions. Especially untimely as. beside "losing Africa:, the US resurrected 2002 Saudi "Israel-Palestine Peace Plan" intended as a 'final solution' to Palestinian liberation, is fading - despite PA/PLO leadership being USraeli "partners". And Africa is only one critical 'piece' of the bipartisan US National Security strategy to secure its doomed global hegemony.

There is no single Asia policy, Africa policy, or Middle East Policy.  There is a global agenda to control the resources and populations of the planet. The “Asia Pivot” and the “Africa Shift” are part of the same long-term Zbigniew Brzezinski strategy to dominate the great 'arc of crisis' across the underbelly of Eurasia.
