Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev gave a far-ranging interview with weekly newspaper Argumenti i Fakti (aif.ru) on Jan. 10, in which he charged that the American state is only a “cover for a conglomerate of huge corporations that rule the country and try to dominate the world,” and that “all four assassinations of American leaders are tied to a corporate trail.” He did not provide further specifics on that point, but he did add that these transnational corporations treat even U.S. Presidents as “mere figureheads that can be silenced, as it happened with [Donald] Trump.”
“The U.S. authorities, allied to big business, serve the interests of trans-national corporations, including the military-industrial complex. The assertive policy of the White House, the unbridled aggressiveness of NATO, the emergence of the AUKUS military bloc and others—are also a consequence of corporate influence,” Patrushev stated.
He added that transnational corporations employ “the most cynical methods” to influence policy. “Those include experiments with dangerous pathogens and viruses conducted in military biological laboratories run by the Pentagon.… The West learned to brainwash people through mass propaganda and now it seeks to use cognitive weapons, targeting each and everyone through information technologies and neuropsychological means. It imposes neoliberal and other values, some of which are essentially contrary to human nature.”
For example, he continued, “only yesterday, they were promoting GMOs without worrying about the consequences that such products could cause, and today, they are urging women not to have children for the sake of fighting against climate change….
“Overseas researchers suggest judging people based on their carbon footprint.… They are measuring and calculating humans the way Nazi scientists used to do, measuring human skulls to establish criteria for distinguishing ‘superior’ and ‘inferior races,’” Patrushev emphasized.
