One thing about this conflict is certain: there is no free press. The media is a political tool, a propaganda machine, and this conflict shows it clearly.
The west is portraying the conflict quite simply as a Russian aggression. Russian tanks and planes destroying a democratic country - Georgia. Any alternative views are muted.
The Russian media is reporting a very different picture. A region brutally shelled by Georgia, with great casualties.
The political game is more complex than what seems to be the case. I just want to point out that both Putin's country, and Bush's country, are not free, fair or democratic. They are elite-run superpowers. If I lived in South Ossetia, after what Georgia has done, I would not want to be a part of that country under any cercumstances, especially if its tanks killed someone in my family. By the way, Russian strikes at the key militarily-infrastructural points within Georgia are tactically justified, it's what any good military would do to halt enemy advancement. And to compare the acceptance of Ossetian independence to Nazi expansion is wrong. Germans in Sudeterland weren't fleeing from anyone's shells or tanks. Yet, if you read only the western or Georgian news, you'd be justified to demonise Russia.
Ah, it would be nice if we could put flowers into every single gun in the world, so that they can't make a single shot anymore. I don't know... Perhaps it is true that evil prevails when good men do nothing. The question is, what should the good men do? Create an army of assassins to be able to threaten the western hidden elite, like the eastern secret society seems to have done? Develop psychic abilities with the power to counteract the HAARPs and the mass population hypnois? Something needs to be created, something that can suddenly enable the citizens of countries to fearlessly protest, to strongly hold their governments accountable. Perhaps money must lose its value, so nobody can be bribed?
Forget the prophecies. Let's agree that nothing is meant to happen. WE have to make something happen.
