Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
By Israel Shamir
The
villain kills innocent people in order to frame Roger Rabbit,
that much I remember of the marvellous Zemeckis 88’ cartoon. The
movie spoofs Hitchcock private eye films where the hero wades
waist-deep in dead bodies, all killed to frame him. Chandler and
Hammett developed this genre being bored by always-safe
violin-playing Holmesian detectives: their heroes unravel
murders while being accused and pursued by police.
The Russian president Vladimir Putin found
himself in the uncomfortable position of Roger Rabbit. Soon
after the murder of Anna Politkovskaya, an investigative
journalist, a defected spy died in London – and accused Putin on
his death bed. The third death, that of obese ex-Prime Minister
Gaidar, was avoided but not a new accusation. It appears that
every violent or suspicious death is automatically placed at the
doorstep of Putin, in the best Chandleresque tradition. Roger
Rabbit was framed in order to take over the Toon Town; Putin is
framed in order to take over Russia’s policies and resources.
Only a very young, innocent and sincere
person may believe that media owners and editors, the Masters of
Discourse care about minor Russian political figures like
Politkovskaya and Litvinenko. They put Putin on the hot seat so
he’ll surrender Iran to the US bombers and Sakhalin-2 to the
Western oil companies, sell gas and other national assets at
cheap price, forget about his independent political course. They
show him and us the impressive might of the mass media machine,
this unique device built to zombify millions. They can establish
the world agenda and present Putin as a killer, Clinton as a sex
offender, Chavez as an antisemite, Ahmadinejad as a new Hitler,
Palestinians as the offenders and Israelis as victims. Not even
the popes had such power in their best days: whatever they say,
goes.
They never fail to mention the KGB career of
Putin, though the CIA past of Bush and the Mossad past of Tsipi
Livni is never referred to in polite society.
They remind us of a Bulgarian defector killed 20 years ago, but
they do not refer to the greatest organised assassin of our
days, of the Jewish state, unless with admiration moderated by
political correctness as in Spielberg’s Munich. However,
Israel kills, kidnaps and jails its political opponents on a
daily basis: all Palestinian leaders active 20 years ago have
since been assassinated by the Jews. They use poison as well as
guided missiles and bunker-busting bombs, and Nes Tsiona centre
for chemical and biological warfare produces poisons and other
tools for 007, like “bionic
killer wasp”
They used their poison in an assassination
attempt on
Khaled Mashal, the Hamas leader; the assassins were
apprehended and caught red-handed. There is no doubt that they
used poison to assassinate Yasser Arafat: the Haaretz published
a clear hint to that effect; and intelligence-related Israelis
are convinced of it. And here we come to the most interesting
part: Arafat’s post mortem revealed the presence of
Polonium-210, the same poisonous medium that killed the Russian
defector. However, the Masters of Discourse and their
world-opinion-producing machine pooh-poohed this discovery and
connected it to chemotherapy treatment possibly given to the
Palestinian leader. Now they say this isotope points to Putin,
though Polonium-210 is freely sold over the internet in the US.
Everything points to Putin. In today’s
Israeli paper, a Russian demand for reciprocity in the treatment
of arrested criminals (quite an ordinary and usual request) is
described as “Putin’s blackmail”; a Russian desire to own petrol
stations in the West, to sell oil at the pump and not only at
the well, is described as “Putin’s world dominance drive”. Putin
is not made of iron like the old Bolsheviks, and he is liable to
submit to pressure, to allow Israel to bomb Iran, to give the
Western oil companies a free run in his land, like Gorbachev and
Yeltsin did. Then he will become a darling of the mass media and
his alleged crimes will be forgotten.
This was the case with Muammar Qaddafi – he
was personally accused of every mishap and his country was
forced to pay zillions for the Lockerby disaster though they had
no connection to it, as
admitted by international observers at the trial. Qaddafi
surrendered to the supreme will of the Masters of Discourse, and
all attacks on him ceased immediately. It will happen to Putin,
too, if he will just fulfil the desire of Israel and expose Iran
to bombs.
Wonderful Indian writer Arundhati Roy wrote that all our leaders
are awful; but as long as they let the West to steal their
assets they are safe. Only when they object to it, do they
become monsters in the eyes of ever so docile public opinion. We
should try to stop this trend; we can’t fight off the US Cruise
missiles, but we may and must sabotage the Masters of
Discourse’s most powerful weapon, their mass media brainwashing
machine by never accepting their line.
