Kerry's Conundrum - Time for Truth on Ukraine



No amount of propaganda will hide the truth… John Kerry, April 24, 2014

Secretary of State Kerry may have a point about the truth. Despite the best efforts of the administration and corporate media, the lies about the attack on Libya have been exposed. The Arab Spring movement against Gaddafi was violent from the start and the "no fly" zone served as the flimsiest of pretenses for NATO's alliance with the Al Qaeda infested rebels. Kerry's absolute certainty in blaming the chemical weapons attack in Syria on government forces has been exposed as well. Investigative reporting by Seymour Hersh and scientific findings showed that Kerry's bombastic assurances were based on weak evidence. There was no certainty.

Now, the Obama-Kerry road show is opening up a new hyper drama designed to meet the objectives of their masters. Accuracy and truth are the first casualties. What follows is a brief examination Secretary of State John Kerry's Remarks at the State Department, Washington, DC, April 24, 2014 . Kerry was more contained than his histrionic performance on the Syrian chemical weapons incident. But, these remarks offer an insight into the administration's current position on the Ukrainian crisis stirred up by successive administrations and their Non Government Organization (NGO) collaborators.

As a young man, John Kerry was thrust into the Vietnam War by old men who lied to the nation out of ideological delusions, political expediency or personal pride. Now, John Kerry has become that old man, either detached from reality or believing he has a right to mislead the American people just like those old men who sent him and so many other young Americans into the bloody jungles of Vietnam nearly a half century ago.

Kerry’s strident April 24 speech about Russia and Ukraine was, in many ways, a replay of his bellicose speech last Aug. 30 about Syria and the mysterious chemical weapons attack of Aug. 21. In both cases, Kerry opted for a one-sided rant over a balanced presentation of the facts; in both cases, he made repeated assertions about what the U.S. government knows without actually providing evidence.
