RT - Biden’s top 5: US policy secrets revealed in VP’s Harvard speech
6 oktober 2014

Who are Washington's foes in the Middle East? How can you make others impose sanctions, to their disadvantage? As Joe Biden spoke at Harvard, US global policies were somewhat revealed – or simply slipped out. Here are his top five quotes.

1 & 2. Turkije, Qatar en SA, bondgenoten van de VS steunen de terroristen en zijn verantwoordelijk voor de proxie-oorlog tussen de Soennieten en de Shia. Joe moet zich later verontschuldigen voor deze 'beweringen...

Fighting terrorism is the “fourth element” of US foreign policy, Biden told Harvard students. Though he mentioned Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq, he also stated that the insurgents are not Washington's “biggest problem in Syria.” Instead, he said the largest hurdle is actually America's “allies in the region.”

He elaborated that the problems are stemming from Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, because those nations are “so determined to take down Assad.” He added that they started a “proxy Sunni-Shia war” supplying cash to those fighting against the Syrian president.


On Turkey admitting its ‘mistake’

In another unexpected revelation, Biden said that “his old friend” – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan – admitted that the US was “right.”

But there was just one slight problem with that statement – Erdogan claimed that he had never said any such thing to Biden, and demanded an apology. The US vice president did, in fact, apologize in a phone call to Erdogan, “clarifying” what he meant to say.

He then had to utter another apology, after the United Arab Emirates expressed “surprise” over supposedly being Washington's “biggest problem” in the Middle East.

3. Corruptie in Oekraine

On corruption in Ukraine

Speaking on Washington's role in the Ukrainian conflict, Biden praised the Obama administration for “helping” the crisis-torn state fight corruption – while President Putin “sought to keep Ukraine weak” through it.

"We’re helping those leaders fight back corruption […] by helping them write new laws, set up a new judiciary and much more," he said.

Biden did not clarify what he meant by “much more,” but there have been videos on YouTube alleging that the US private security service formerly known as Blackwater is operating in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk.

4. Biden neemt het op voor Europa. Het is de VS welke de EU tot het nemen van sacties tegen Rusland dwong, "het is waar dat ze dat niet wilden"...

On making EU impose sanctions

Biden also confessed that it was the US which pushed the EU into extending sanctions on Russia over Ukraine. “It is true they did not want to do that,” he said. But it's perhaps easier for Washington to make those decisions than the EU. After all, the US is not crisis-stricken Spain, which is now estimated to miss out on 337 million euro (US$421 million) in food and agriculture sales to Russia now that the sanctions game is on. Nor it is Italy, which has estimated its losses at nearly one billion euro ($1.2 billion).

5. Wie schoot vlucht MH17 neer?

On who shot down MH17

The US vice president said it was Washington who “exposed” Russia’s support to rebels in Ukraine “who shot down [the] civilian airliner.”

The US has been blaming Russia for supporting anti-Kiev fighters in Donetsk – but has still failed to provide reasonable evidence, except for incomprehensible images.

All in all, this has not been an easy fall for VP Biden. In mid-September, he was forced to apologize for using the offensive slur “shylock” to describe home-loan lenders. Right after that, while taking part in a women’s conference, Biden praised former US senator Bob Packwood for his bipartisanship – but Packwood resigned in 1995 following several allegations of sexual offenses.

DWN - Obama-Vize blamiert Merkel: USA haben EU zu Sanktionen gegen Russland gezwungen

<sub>Die Amerikaner haben erstmals öffentlich eingeräumt, die EU gegen ihren Willen zu Sanktionen gegen Russland gezwungen zu haben. US-Vizepräsident Joe Biden sagte, Obama habe darauf bestanden, dass die EU wirtschaftlichen Schaden in Kauf nehme, um die Russen zu strafen. Die Ausführungen Bidens machen klar, dass Angela Merkel und ihre EU-Kollegen auf Druck der USA ihren eigenen Völkern Schaden zugefügt haben. Wer sich diesem Bündnis anschließt, wird zum Papagei der US-Interessenspolitik. Merkels schöne Worte von der freien Selbstbestimmung klingen in diesem Kontext wie der blanke Hohn.

Bei einer Rede an der Kennedy School of Government an der Universität Harvard hat US-Vizepräsident Joe Biden erstmals die Wahrheit über die Sanktionen gegen Russland gesagt: Demnach wollte die EU keine Sanktionen verhängen und wurde von Obama gezwungen, dem Kurs der Amerikaner zu folgen. Das Weiße Haus dokumentiert die Rede stolz im vollen Wortlaut.

Biden sagte wörtlich (Video am Ende des Artikel, ab 35:10):

„Wir haben Putin vor die einfache Wahl gestellt: Respektieren Sie die Souveränität der Ukraine oder Sie werden sich steigender Konsequenzen gegenübersehen. Dadurch waren wir in der Lage, die größeren der entwickelten Staaten dazu zu bringen, dass Russland zahlen werde müssen.

Es ist wahr, dass sie das nicht tun wollten. Aber wiederum war es die Führungsrolle Amerikas und die Tatsache, dass der Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten darauf bestanden hat – ja Europa des Öfteren fast sagen musste, dass ihre Haltung eine Schande sei – sich zu erheben und wirtschaftliche Nachteile einzustecken, um dafür zu sorgen, dass die Russen dafür bezahlen müssen. Und die Folgen waren eine massive Kapitalflucht aus Russland, ein regelrechtes Einfrieren von ausländischen Direktinvestitionen, der Rubel auf einem historischen Tiefststand gegenüber dem Dollar, und die russische Wirtschaft an der Kippe zu einer Rezession.“

Hartelijk dank voor de eyeopener Joe!

'Blunderende' Biden krijgt het hard te verduren, het verhaal gaat mainstream.

BIG STORY (AP) - Blunders renew questions about Biden's discipline

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden's supporters often brush off his slips of the tongue as byproducts of the speak-your-mind politics many Americans crave. But this time, Biden's verbal blunders are causing more than just a few rough headlines and a momentary nuisance for the White House.

Twice in two days, Biden had to apologize to key U.S. allies in the fight against Islamic State militants after accusing the allies of arming and funding al-Qaida-linked groups in Syria. Not only did his comments threaten to jeopardize President Barack Obama's fragile coalition, they also put the White House on the defensive, forced to clean up for Biden without specifically rebutting what he said.

Blijkbaar mag Biden de Amerikaanse vuile was even buitenhangen, dit lijkt wel een 'limited hangout'-operatie, wat een eer Joe.

<sub>Limited hangout
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A limited hangout, or partial hangout, is a public relations or propaganda technique that involves the release of previously hidden information in order to prevent a greater exposure of more important details.[citation needed]

It takes the form of deception, misdirection, or coverup often associated with intelligence agencies involving a release or "mea culpa" type of confession of only part of a set of previously hidden sensitive information, that establishes credibility for the one releasing the information who by the very act of confession appears to be "coming clean" and acting with integrity; but in actuality, by withholding key facts, is protecting a deeper operation and those who could be exposed if the whole truth came out.[citation needed] In effect, if an array of offenses or misdeeds is suspected, this confession admits to a lesser offense while covering up the greater ones.[citation needed]

A limited hangout typically is a response to lower the pressure felt from inquisitive investigators pursuing clues that threaten to expose everything, and the disclosure is often combined with red herrings or propaganda elements that lead to false trails, distractions, or ideological disinformation; thus allowing covert or criminal elements to continue in their improper activities.[citation needed]

Victor Marchetti wrote: "A 'limited hangout' is spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting—sometimes even volunteering—some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further."[1]
Modified limited hangout

In a March 22, 1973 meeting between Richard Nixon, John Dean, John Ehrlichman, John Mitchell, and H.R. Haldeman, Ehrlichman incorporated the term into a new and related one, "modified limited hangout."[2][3]

The phrase was coined in the following exchange:[4]
“ PRESIDENT: You think, you think we want to, want to go this route now? And the--let it hang out, so to speak?

DEAN: Well, it's, it isn't really that--

HALDEMAN: It's a limited hang out.

DEAN: It's a limited hang out.

EHRLICHMAN: It's a modified limited hang out.

PRESIDENT: Well, it's only the questions of the thing hanging out publicly or privately.
”

Before this exchange, the discussion captures Nixon outlining to Dean the content of a report that Dean would create, laying out a misleading view of the role of the White House staff in events surrounding the Watergate burglary.

Ook Rusland reageert. Neuland haalt haar slag thuis, "Fuck the EU"!

RIA Novosti - Lavrov: Biden’s Remark Proves EU Role in Promoting Western Agenda in Ukraine

MOSCOW, October 6 (RIA Novosti) - US Vice-President Joe Biden’s remark on how Washington was able to make European countries “take economic hits to impose cost” on Russia proves the EU's role in promoting a Western agenda in Ukraine, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday.

Sergei Lavrov was commenting on Joe Biden’s controversial speech at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government last week, where the US official acknowledged the EU “did not want to do that. But again, it was America’s leadership and the President of the United States insisting.” He also accused several Arab countries of funding Islamic State insurgency and was later forced to backtrack.

“Thus, Joe Biden has effectively confirmed the view that was first formulated in a telephone conversation between [US Assistant Secretary of State] Victoria Nuland and the US ambassador in Kiev [Geoffrey] Pyatt, when they discussed EU’s role in the efforts to promote Western interests in Ukraine,” Lavrov said.

A recording of the phone call made headlines in February, not least due to the notoriously strong language Nuland used to comment on the EU’s reluctance to pick a fight with Moscow.

The senior Russian diplomat said Moscow considered these incidents to be “deplorable,” since "both the fight against terrorism and Ukrainian settlement require a dialogue based on mutual respect and a balance of the interests of all the parties concerned.”

RIA Novosti - Biden's Speech Might Backfire on Washington: Former Assistant Secretary of Treasury

WASHINGTON, October 4 (RIA Novosti), Liudmila Chernova – Speech of the US Vice President Joe Biden can backfire on Washington, as it embarrasses the European Union members and demonstrates the US has intimidated them, Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, believes.

"One of the possible consequences is that his speech embarrasses European governments by showing that Europe is Washington's vassal," Roberts told RIA Novosti on Friday. "The other is that by pressing Europeans to act against their own interests, Washington might have been too much of a bully and hurt its future influence in Europe."

US Vice President said Thursday that the United States and US President Barack Obama, in particular, had forced the European Union members to "take economic hits to impose cost" on Russia.

"It is true that they did not want to do that. But again, it was America's leadership and the President of the United States insisting," Biden noted, speaking at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.

"It is a known fact that Western European peoples and business interests, and even the governments themselves oppose Washington's sanctions on Russia," Roberts noted, underlining that many Europeans know full well that Russia is not responsible for the trouble in Ukraine. "They know that the cause is Washington's use of the CIA and the NGOs established by the National Endowment for Democracy and other US "democracy groups" to orchestrate protests and use the protests to overthrow the elected government of Ukraine."

"Washington forced its European vassal states to impose sanctions on Russia," the former assistant Secretary of the Treasury said, adding that one of the US aims was to portray Russia, not Washington, as the government that is interfering in the internal affairs of Ukraine and must be punished.

"By punishing Russia, the sanctions support Washington's propaganda that it is Russia that is the aggressor," he asserted. "This image also serves to boost the budgets of Washington's military and security complex in order to defend NATO countries against the alleged "Russian threat."

Another aim of the sanctions is to break up Europe's economic and political relationships with Russia, according to Roberts.

"Washington is afraid that growing relationships between Europe and Russia will loosen Washington's hold on Europe. European countries do not have independent foreign policies, and Washington wants to keep it that way," Roberts stated.
