Russian aggresion on Chechnya

The value of mathematics is universal but mythology is not. Creation and application of mythology differs with time and place.

The value of mathematics is universal but mythology is not. Creation and application of mythology differs with time and place.

If we examine how, why and by whom myths can overtake the truth, specifically in relation to the events unfolding in the Philippines and Chechnya; eye opening and startling revelations can be found. For example, "3 Moro Muslim Guerillas were killed by the government forces", news of this nature may not get a mention in the media and even if it does – it won’t create much havoc in our society due to myth being overtaking truth. This is happening because of an environment, carefully created and skillfully nurtured by powerful vested interest groups.

To elaborate further, many good Australian mining entities are closing mining interests and operations in Australia and moving in to Asian, African and Latin American countries. Most probably many of them are cutting corners, getting too close with the government of the day and increasing their profit margins while destroying nature, also environments and habitat of local populations like the OKI TEDI fiasco in Papua New Guinea.

As many smart operators do, any obstacles in their way have to be dealt with in an efficient and smart manner for the sake of big businesses, not for the said country or the population in general! The Philippines, Chechnya, Congo and Angola are just a few new victims. And to make it palatable the branding, tagging and labeling of any opposition continues with due creativity and flair. After all, the PR companies are paid to do just that.

Based on attending a few discussion groups, speaking with Christian priests from the Philippines, local inhabitants and some dare devil Aussie kids who have traveled, photographed and recorded the above mentioned atrocities (which is totally at odds with the establishment and mainstream media), the conclusion could be drawn that the mining companies are hiding their monstrous acts by the already established inhuman demonising process.

In the good old days(!?), the former USSR managed to eliminate, imprison or assisted the disappearance of many of it’s population for the then new found elixir of socialism – communism. Today, many of the former (cunning) communists have swiftly changed their clothing and became full time capitalists! The result is a rising number of have-nots and the gap between the have and have-nots is increasing at an astonishing rate. Due to the absence of the social support system provided by the then socialist state and the existence of committed racketeers, as well as the nomenklaturas who are the entrenched elites that ruled the former Soviet Union and other state run economies, social unrest is up and in full swing. Renegade covert agencies, numerous professional and spontaneous gangs are adding misery to Russian peoples' lives. Anger and frustration is expanding everywhere, everyday.

Like any other occasions, to shift attention, a scapegoat needs to be found. So, without any proof or evidence of suburban bombings in Moscow – a mighty former super power is using airforce and professional military machinery to slaughter the civilians in Chechnya. Even they are not allowing the civilians to flee from the area, possibly in fear of missing photo opportunities to glorify their false victory.

ABC’s Foreign Correspondence Program pointed out that the demoralized professional USSR soldiers stationed in Chechnya were killing fish with their guns to feed themselves.
I wonder, for amusement, who else and what will the mighty Russians KILL?

Surprise! Surprise!! To pop up the Russian economy, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund gave some hard cash but the mighty Russian leaderships are using the same money to slaughter innocent civilians without any opposition whatsoever.
