The neocons in Washington, Chicago or wherever never seem to tire pounding the tocsins of war. One would think by now they'd come down with a bad case of tenosynovitis of the wrists. No such good fortune, yet.
Who is Ivo Daalder? Well, in short, he's an academic think tanker, an OB crony, a neocon masquerading as a security expert. There's that damn term again, expert, more dangerous now than ever.
In July of 2013, Daalder became President of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs – an independent, nonpartisan think tank that convenes leading global voices, conducts independent research, and engages the public to provide insights and influence the public discourse on critical global issues. Under Daalder, the Council has extended the reach and relevance of its global work by increasing its roster of experts and portfolio of issues; extending the Council’s historic platform for global leaders to engage the public; building a global audience by connecting through digital and social media channels; revitalizing the Council’s brand; and growing its financial, foundation, and membership support. Daalder also conceived and spearheaded the 2015 Chicago Forum on Global Cities, a now annual conference in partnership with the Financial Times that convenes leaders and delegates from around the world for a cross-sector exploration of the influence and impact of global cities in shaping the world's future. Following this rapid growth, the Council was ranked the top "Think Tank to Watch" by the University of Pennsylvania's 2015 Global Go To Think Tank Index.
In short, he's a quasi-intellectual mercenary: people who rile up the masses and then hire others to do their dirty shit for them. At the moment Daalder and his fellow necons, right and left, are pushing their vile Russian meme. These are globalists easily recognized because they usually need a war to cover up their gross incompetence.That and kill off a bunch of opposing naysayers. It's called collateral damage. Note in the description above. This is Davos Chicago style.
The first rule of propaganda is there's no such thing as an independent, nonpartisan think tank. Especially in Chicago. Note too he's a guest political warbler for the Times. It's not the company you keep. It's the scribes you read. Nor should it surprise you there's actually an Ivy League Global Go To Think Tank Index. Which came first, the chicken or the dot-plot index?
In today's FT Opinion sector, Daalder plays one his his favorite neocon tunes, containment, "The best answer to Russian aggression is containment." It's the requisite rhetoric, a prelude to get the masses whipped in order. It's also a ploy to misdirect focus, take the heat off the Wikileaks that, if nothing else, have shown how widespread government corruption around the globe is. And you thought it was just those EU bureaucrats in Brussels or the IMF or World Bank.
Daalder concludes his diatribe against Russia with this gem, comparing it with the Cold War years.
"Russia is far weaker now than the Soviet Union was then, but it will still take years to change the way it behaves. Like then, containment requires patience and firmness to succeed."
What you need to know about Daalder and his fellow globalist travelers, it isn't just the way the Russia behaves they are trying to change or contain.These are people who want what the want and will stop at nothing including starting wars to get it. If you can't smell it from here, you will if the whole thing goes snap, crackle and boom.
