Ukraine: Time to start translating what politicians actually mean before we cross the point of no return

Politicians hide their real intentions by making statements that sound appealing but point the world in the wrong direction.

Words like equality, fairness, and many others like them can be used to hide the intention to carry out criminal activities. 'We cannot afford it' - translation: we can afford it, but we simply don't want to pay for it. 'That is impossible', 'we wouldn't do that'. Expressions like these are very much part of the armoury of conmen. 'Trust me', 'read my lips'. Wasn't George Bush Sr as President that told Americans that there would not be more taxes. 

As a politician told me after he made a very strong statement to the media, 'that is only for the media'. He had no real intention of doing what he announced. In essence, if you don't trust politicians you are surely on the right track. Deception after deception, billions of US Dollars were 'lost in Iraq' and are being 'lost in Ukraine'. They tell you that nobody knows where the monies went, that there is no accountability, that we are going to continue investigating until we find the truth. Lies upon lies and no real intention of telling you what actually happened or who got the monies. In essence, they do know where the monies went, but they don't want to tell you where the monies went because telling you where the monies went would reveal something unpalatable, something criminal.

As President Ronald Reagan could not get the monies to support the Contras in Nicaragua, the CIA put in motion a plan that would involve soaking the US with narcotics produced by the Cartels. The Contras had no real intention of fighting against the Sandinistas. They just used the opportunity given to them to make money. The Contras got the weapons and exchanged the weapons for drugs produced by the Cartels and used the secrecy to distribute drugs in the USA making huge profits. After many years and after the killing of a journalist that revealed what was really going on, the CIA was forced to come clean and reveal that the CIA had been involved in criminal activities to support an ill conceived plan that was bound to fail because it was based on false assumptions. If you follow what the media published in those days, you understand that media colluded with politicians in desastrous adventure that fuelled drug consumption and criminal activities in the USA.

The war in Ukraine is making some people extremely wealthy because the war is being used as an excuse to extort money and the whole affair is nothing more than a gigantic criminal network. Much of what was supposed to be sent to Ukraine has already ended in the hands of international criminal networks.
