I was going to link the blog site http://scgnews.com/ , but that site appears to have been squatted upon.

Well, I guess we'll gradually find out more about what the jury was thinking.

But I'm not surprised that politically the US government would prefer to create more terrorists, after following most of the stories at http://scgnews.com/

We need lots of boogeymen to justify our military and intelligence spending.

...and Saddam existed because we put him there to fight a proxy cold war against Russian-backed Iran.

ISIS exists because we need another set of boogeymen to stir shit up with neighboring Syria and Iran on our behalf.

We read a lot about how ISIS somehow keeps getting access to US-funded weapons sent to the region to help Libyan rebels topple Qaddafi or the Iraqi army "keep the peace". They'll get their Twitter feeds back again when we need them to resume looking evil to the rest of the world so we can justify going back in there to "clean the place up". That time just isn't now.

Yes, I'm with you there. Losing Ukraine to the West is even worse than the Cuban missile crises... maybe more analogous to the 13 colonies seceding from the US.

Though my favorite conspiracy site explains it more in terms of thwacking Russia for trying to sell oil in Rubles, the same way we thwacked Iraq and Libya for making moves to sell oil in anything other than USD:

Sure helps make the world make a lot more sense :P

This is what Fox News' viewers want to see: the barbarity of Muslims.

While this may be the case, there also seems to be that pesky fact they seem to have put someone in a cage, lit them on fire, and burned them to death.

We like to think that we're free from US Government media propaganda. But vilifying your enemy-du-jour by focusing on tragic, heinous actions is pretty much the only way to drag a democracy into war.

Bonus points for actually providing the enemy with weapons in the first place:

This kind of thing has been going on for a long time... you know those WMDs we were so sure Iraq had? We knew they had them because we sold them to Iraq back when we were supporting Iraq vs. Soviet-backed Iran. It's just a fringe benefit to be able to turn your former "allies" into "enemies" a bit later by showing everyone all the bad stuff they did with your weapons.

Not judging, but it's interesting to see how the defense-industrial complex works.

I have family in Ukraine.

You will be concerned then that the new coalition government acting via agent provocateurs has been verifiable linked by several different sources to be behind the sniper attacks, and the Odessa Massacre that has killed many Ukrainians (on both "sides"), with the sole purpose of instigating a regime change. In case this is news to you I will provide some links, but there are many sources presenting similar evidence from other angles (again, if your really concerned about the truth and not here just to spread propaganda to help justify such bloodshed).

Except that the purpose of this experiment was to play with emotions of their users. And upset was one of the expected results.

Worse: The study has military sponsorship, part of ongoing experiments how to manipulate/prevent/encourage spread of ideas (like voting for an unapproved political parties or mute general discontent):

"research was connected to a Department of Defense project called the Minerva Initiative, which funds universities to model the dynamics, risks and tipping points for large-scale civil unrest across the world."

The end game explain in this very long but very insightful analysis: America’s Real Foreign Policy – A Corporate Protection Racket.

Yes... but this student is still wrong on petrodollar politics; and I won't even go into that regurgitated propaganda.
There's no "myth". Many countries, Russia and China included, are tired of the arrogance of a single country dominating the world, and are looking for alternatives to the petrodollar monopoly. One recent example is Russian energy giant Gazprom's clients switching from the dollar to euro or renminbi
Russia and China continue calling for the dollar to be replaced as the international reserve currency. They're also setting up the BRICS version of the World Bank and IMF.

So in other news:

alternative-to-dollar-close-to-reality-as-brics-coalition-expands-to-80-nations/a>
The-sun-is-setting-on-dollar-supremacy-and-with-it-American-power

That's a pretty contrived situation.

What possible rationale do you have for an American whistleblower selecting to disclose it to the Russian Chinese state sponsored papers?

Well, perhaps the American newspapers are being coerced into silence by NSA. Without any American newspaper being willing to report on the governments illegal activities the next option is to let a newspaper that isn't under the same governments control report it.

Not really that contrived since NSA chief Keith Alexander wants to do exactly that.
