俄罗斯和中国花了二十年才弄明白，在两国境内运作的形形色色的所谓“支持民主”和“人权”组织其实是颠覆组织，他们背后的金主是美国国务院以及与美国政府有关的美国私人基金会。这些非政府组织(NGO)的真正意图是破坏这两个有能力反抗美国霸权的国家的稳定，从而推进美国霸权。
华盛顿指挥的第五纵队成功在前苏联加盟共和国发动“颜色革命”，如约瑟夫•斯大林的出生地格鲁吉亚，以及乌克兰。
在普京当选总统的时候，美国得以利用第五纵队将数千抗议者推向街头，声称普京“窃取了选举”。然而，美国的宣传对俄罗斯没有产生什么影响，普京在俄罗斯民众中的支持率高达89%，另外11%的人只是认为普京对美国的进攻太软弱，这些人其实也支持普京，他们不过期望普京更加强硬。事实上，美国能够转化并使其背叛俄罗斯的人不过2~3%，这些人是“西方人”(注：西方化了的人)，主张“大西洋一体化”，愿意让他们的国家成为西方附庸，只要能为自己谋财。
但这并非徒劳无功，美国有能力让第五纵队走上莫斯科街头对那些漠不关心国事的美国人和欧洲人产生了影响。今天，许多西方人还认为普京的选举是“窃取”的，普京企图重建苏联帝国，打垮西方。并不是说西方有多难打垮，西方自身差不多已经垮了。
痴迷于致富的中国对华盛顿来说是个容易受骗的对象。洛克菲勒基金会(The Rockefeller Foundation)正支持亲美的中国大学教授，在中国运作的美国公司则不断创造花瓶“董事会”，吸收一些统治精英的亲属，并为他们提供高额“董事费”。这让中国统治精英的忠诚度大大降低。
用金钱腐蚀中国统治精英后，美国转而发动香港的NGO上街，并希望蔓延至中国，而且希望沉迷于金钱的中国统治精英不那么快看到其中的危险。
俄罗斯和中国最终上钩了。令人震惊的是，被华盛顿视为“威胁”的两个国家会如此长时间容忍外国资助的NGO。中俄对美国第五纵队的容忍无疑极大程度鼓励了美国新保守派，他们因此将世界推向冲突边缘。
但俗话说，所有好事情都有个头。中国最终开始行动，保护自己免于美国颠覆。俄罗斯也是如此，出于防御已经封杀了“美国国家民主基金会”(National Endowment for Democracy)。
我们美国人需要谦虚，不要傲慢自大。我们需要承认，美国人的生活水平在过去20年里持续下滑，除了那最富有的1%。如果要让地球的生命得以持续，美国人需要明白，不是俄罗斯和中国，也不是萨达姆•侯赛因、卡扎菲、阿萨德，或者也门、巴基斯坦、索马里等等是美国的威胁，对美国的威胁完全来自于疯狂的新保守主义意识形态，妄想美国建立世界霸权。
如果美国人民醒悟，对于失控的政府能做什么?经历过一战和二战灾难的欧洲是否能明白，相比核战争来说，两次世界大战所造成的损害其实微不足道?
如果欧盟明智而且独立，就应该禁止任何成员国在靠近俄罗斯边境的任何地区部署美国的反弹道导弹系统或其他军事基地。
在华盛顿的东欧游说团体想报复苏联，他们不再与我们一起。他们的仇恨转向了俄罗斯。俄罗斯其实什么也没做，除了没有读沃尔福威茨主义(美国统一世界，沃尔福威茨是美国新保守主义旗手——译者注)，也没有认识到华盛顿想统治世界需要先“攻克”俄罗斯和中国。

Washington’s Fifth Columns Inside Russia and China
Paul Craig ROBERTS
It took two decades for Russia and China to understand that "pro-democracy" and "human rights" organizations operating within their countries were subversive organizations funded by the US Department of State and a collection of private American foundations organized by Washington. The real purpose of these non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is to advance Washington's hegemony by destabilizing the two countries capable of resisting US hegemony.
Washington's Fifth Columns pulled off "color revolutions" in former Russian provinces, such as Georgia, the birthplace of Joseph Stalin and Ukraine, a Russian province for centuries.
When Putin was last elected, Washington was able to use its Fifth Columns to pour thousands of protesters into the streets of Russia claiming that Putin had "stolen the election." This American propaganda had no effect on Russia, where the citizens back their president by 89%. The other 11% consists almost entirely of Russians who believe Putin is too soft toward the West's aggression. This minority supports Putin as well. They only want him to be tougher. The actual percentage of the population that Washington has been able to turn into treasonous agents is only 2-3 percent of the population. These traitors are the "Westerners," the "Atlantic integrationists," who are willing for their country to be an American vassal state in exchange for money. Paid to them, of course.
But Washington's ability to put its Fifth Columns into the streets of Moscow had an effect on insouciant Americans and Europeans. Many Westerners today believe that Putin stole his election and is intent on using his office to rebuild the Soviet Empire and to crush the West. Not that crushing the West would be a difficult thing to do. The West has pretty much already crushed itself.
China, obsessed with becoming rich, has been an easy mark for Washington. The Rockefeller Foundation is supporting pro-American Chinese professors in the universities. US corporations operating in China create superfluous "boards" to which the relatives of the ruling political class are appointed and paid high "directors' fees." This compromises the loyalty of the Chinese ruling class.
Hoping to have compromised the Chinese ruling class with money, Washington then launched its Hong Kong NGOs in protests, hoping that the protests would spread into China and that the ruling class, bought with American money, would be slow to see the danger.
Russia and China finally caught on. It is amazing that the governments of the two countries that Washington regards as "threats" were so tolerant of foreign-financed NGOs for so long. The Russian and Chinese toleration of Washington's Fifth Columns must have greatly encouraged the American neoconservatives, thus pushing the world closer to conflict.
But as they say, all good things come to an end. The Saker reports that China finally has acted to protect itself from Washington's subversion. Russia, also, has acted in her defense, kicking out Washington’s “National Endowment for Democracy”.
We Americans need to be humble, not arrogant. We need to acknowledge that American living standards, except for the favored One Percent, are in long-term decline and have been for two decades. If life on earth is to continue, Americans need to understand that it is not Russia and China, any more than it was Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, Assad, Yemen, Pakistan, and Somalia that are threats to the US. The threat to the US resides entirely in the crazed neoconservative ideology of Washington's hegemony over the world and over the American people.
This arrogant goal commits the US and its vassal states to nuclear war.
If Americans were to wake up, would they be able to do anything about their out-of-control-government? Are Europeans, having experienced the devastating results of World War I and World War II, capable of understanding that the incredible damage done to Europe in those wars is minuscule compared to the damage from nuclear war?
If the EU were an intelligent and independent government, the EU would absolutely forbid any member country from hosting a US anti-ballistic missile or any other military base anywhere close to Russia's borders.
The Eastern European lobby groups in Washington want revenge on the Soviet Union, an entity that is no longer with us. The hatred transmits to Russia. Russia has done nothing except to have failed to read the Wolfowitz Doctrine and to realize that Washington intends to rule the world, which requires prevailing over Russia and China.
