What's Putin Actually Trying To Do Toward the United States?

June 29: The “Russian bounties” affairs which has just been hoked up by the London Guardian and New York Times is the most blatant British intelligence scheme in nearly four years of such schemes, to force President Donald Trump to resign; to prevent the President in any case from ever meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in a summit; and to stop Trump’s withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan.

These aspects are made crystal clear in other reports in this Daily Briefing. The President himself dismisses the dumpster-trash quality of this “intelligence” about Russians paying Taliban to kill Americans, as the perfectly logical reason it never got near his level. Veteran intelligence professional Scott Ritter shows that its very “ “source” shows it’s a fraud: Coercive interrogation of prisoners by foreign security agents, working with the CIA, produced notorious “fake news” long before that term was invented. It appears that British intelligence agencies and government were briefed on this “intelligence” before the White House heard it from the Guardian and the Times. And Christopher Steele, no surprise, was the intelligence figure telling Parliament last week that it had to act against Trump because “Putin owns Trump". That is the most colorful tell-tale that this is, once again, a British operation to end or destroy Donald Trump’s presidency, as the last British Ambassador Sir Kim Darroch was thrown out of Washington for trying to do.

And this one is a precisely designed “shaped charge” to hit a distracted, divided, fearful and angry American population and officialdom, and get even Republican leaders to intimate the President should resign — or at least, profess eternal hatred of Russia and President Putin.

What President Vladimir Putin is actually trying to do, is entirely different and crucially important to you, reading this. Since at least as long ago as last Winter, he has been working step by step to bring about a summit of the heads of state of the “Permanent 5” Security Council members — United States, Russia, China, France, UK — with two clear objectives: cooperative action against the raging coronavirus pandemic; and actions to revive world economic production which is flat on its back. These steps have included writing a widely read article on the history of World War II to give a historical punch to his urgent summit call; long discussions with the Presidents of France and China; telephone discussions and an agreement on oil production with President Trump, which is one reason the price of oil is not zero and all American oil-field workers have not lost their jobs despite Saudi efforts. Today, Tuesday, the U.S. and Russian reciprocal ambassadors will hold a webinar on reviving world trade and economy.

The Russian UN mission has made leading presentations in the Schiller Institute’s ongoing process of international conferences April 25-26 and again June 27. In doing so it has recognized the important parallel effort of Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s Schiller Institute. The Institute began even earlier last Winter in this drive to catalyze a four-power (U.S.-Russia-China-India) or five-power (Putin’s P5 leaders’ summit) to rescue humanity from its current grave crisis. Pandemic disease; collapse of economy and food production with threatening famine; and extreme international tension threatening world war have struck all at once. The worst of these calamaties are in the developing nations; Mrs. LaRouche urges immediate building of a new public health and hospital system throughout these nations, whose hospitals are being overwhelmed right now.

This must begin with at least the intention to cooperate Putin is looking for in his summitry, and it is completely in the United States’ interest that President Trump work with him on it.
