Pro-War, Pro-Privilege, Anti-Peace, Equity and Justice Pelosi in Kiev

by Stephen Lendman

House speaker Pelosi symbolizes the worst of undemocratic Dem extremist contempt for the rule of law and governance as it should be.

She's also one of the richest congressional members.

According to Forbes magazine in March, her net worth is $135 million, adding:

She "made a fortune from the Federal bailout plan passed for the banks."

With help from donors, she purchased a 15,000 square-foot luxury mansion in Baltimore, Maryland for $30 million, what Forbes called "a hefty discount."

Along with a large stock portfolio and lucrative investment fund, her total real estate properties are worth over $40 million.

She didn't amass super-wealth on a congressional salary of $210,000.

Born in Baltimore, she's been a House member since 1987, representing California's 12th congressional district -- House speaker since January 2019.

Supporting privileged interests exclusively, her voting record speaks for itself.

She's pro-war, pro-corporate predation, pro-tax cuts for the rich, pro-neoliberal harshness, pro-increasingly unaffordable marketplace medicine, pro-flu/covid kill shots, and pro-Nazi-infested Ukraine.

On Saturday, she became the most senior Biden regime official to visit Kiev for a photo-op with puppet Zelensky -- before he scurried back cross-border to stay out of potential harm's way.

He showed up from his Polish hideout for the occasion -- to hear her say:

She and other undemocratic Dems will "do what is needed to help" Nazi-infested Ukraine wage US proxy war on Russia.

Other Russophobic Dems accompanied Pelosi to Kiev, their visit kept secret until they crossed back into Poland late Saturday, a statement saying:

"Our delegation proudly delivered the message that additional American support is on the way, as we work to transform (the fake) Biden's strong funding request into a legislative package," adding:

Hegemon USA "stands firmly with (Nazified) Ukraine."

Separately, Pelosi tweeted:

"Our congressional delegation was honored (sic) to meet with (puppet) Zelensky in Kiev to salute his leadership (sic) and courage (sic), to commend the Ukrainian people for their outstanding defense of (Nazi-infested fantasy) democracy (sic), and to say that we are with you until victory is won (sic)."

The above rubbish, with Zelensky genuflecting to US officials, recalls remarks by Edward Said in response to Yasser Arafat's agreeing to a Palestinian Versailles -- masquerading as conflict resolution -- on the White House lawn in September 1993, saying:

"The fashion-show vulgarities of the White House ceremony, the degrading spectacle of Yasser Arafat thanking everyone for the suspension of most of his people's rights, and the fatuous solemnity of Bill Clinton's performance, like a 20th-century Roman emperor shepherding two vassal kings through rituals of reconciliation and obeisance: all these only temporarily obscure the truly astonishing proportions of the Palestinian capitulation."

The Saturday spectacle in Kiev concealed how Russian forces are rolling over badly battered and beaten Ukrainian troops.

Ignored as well is how Russia is targeting and destroying US/Western weapons when crossing from Poland into Ukraine.

As for what Pelosi called Ukrainian "democracy" and "victory," reality and rhetoric were worlds apart and then some.

Will she, Blinken, Austin, Britain's BoJo and other Western officials make similar comments when Russia declares mission accomplished ahead?

No elaboration is needed.

Separately in Ukraine, Russian forces captured at least 2 UK mercenaries and killed a US one.

Russia's Defense Ministry reported that around 50,000 Ukrainian forces were either killed, wounded, or otherwise out of action.

Thousands of others are POWs or deserted their units to go home or leave the country.

Hundreds of Ukrainian forces are surrendering or otherwise refusing to fight for a regime they despise.

US/Western regimes and Kiev conceal reality on the ground at a time when their propaganda rubbish is increasingly hollow and unconvincing.
