Why Rich McCormick Made Putin's List of 500 Leftists, Globalists and Neocons

All banned from entry to Russia

Georgia’s 6th District Representative, Rich McCormick, is “feeling cool” being included in Vladimir Putin’s list of 500 individuals forbidden to enter Russia. The original list comprising almost 1000 individuals was published a year ago. Below we see McCormick crowing with excitement on social media about his inclusion.

But what does it really mean to be included on this list? To answer that question, let’s compare Representative McCormick’s name on the list, against all the others who have been recently blocked from entering Russia’s borders, and discuss the reasons they are there. Perhaps if we do, we may gain some insight regarding Representative McCormick.

Rand Corporation

Tops on Putin’s list are 84 officials of the Rand Corporation. Why Rand? I recently wrote a column concerning Rand, what they do and why, and how they are presently promoting, “global citizenship,” around America, in particular around my hometown in Georgia. Rand works in parallel purposes to the United Nations, devising programs to alter public perceptions to favor various public initiatives, including the eventual overthrow of national sovereignty around the world, and in the United States.

Rand programs impact the minds of individuals psychologically, such that they come into agreement with globalism, and all that globalism means, as an exercise of free-will, never fully understanding that they are being manipulated.

But what is “globalism?”

Globalism is the philosophy, put to practice, that international interests outweigh national interests, and that national policies should provide relief for selected international concerns, placing international interests above national interests and the will of the people. The desired end-result of globalism is the subordination of national laws and boundaries and the establishment of worldwide corporate system of governance over the nations.

Putin’s Russia stands solidly against globalism, against global governance, stands instead for nationalism and national governance, and as a result has restricted these 84 Rand officials, pushing globalism, from entering its borders. Is it coincidence that Representative McCormick rates equally among these 84 on Putin’s list? Read on.

George Soros - Open Society Foundations

One of the largest public financiers of globalist operations in America and around the world is George Soros, whose Open Society Foundations (2 additional officers joining Soros and others on the list) is dedicated to controlling the outcomes of local, state and national elections, here in America and elsewhere. George Soros describes how nation states figure into his ultimate objective:

George Soros defines the globalist objective in his own words

Globalism is an existential threat to Russia, as it is to all nation states. The governments of NATO countries in Europe are infested with globalists. Over the years, Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned against the influence of NATO and globalist Europe encroaching Russia’s borders. The manifestation of that encroachment, beginning with the American overthrow of the Ukrainian Government in 2014, and the war pressed against Russian-speaking peoples in Eastern Ukraine ever since, precipitated Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine. Rich McCormick aligns with George Soros on the side of Ukraine in this conflict, just as he does with the Rand Corporation above.

Neoconservative, Globalist Think Tank Foundations

Next on the list of Putin’s 500 come several neocon-globalist think-tank operations. On that list are 56 officers of the Carnegie Global Endowment, 31 officers of the Atlantic Council and 29 officers of the Brookings Institute.

Think of the Carnegie Global Endowment as the first globalist think-tank. It is primarly dedicated to training fresh, unsuspecting minds to accept and promulgate globalism and global governance around the world. Carnegie formerly owned and managed Foreign Policy Magazine, aligning its purposes to push globalism around the world, while opposing nation states rejecting globalism. Russia is one of those states. For that reason, last month the Russian Government compelled Carnegie to close its operations in Moscow, placing 56 of its employees on the list of 500. Rich McCormick’s purposes toward Ukraine and Russia align with Carnegie.

The Atlantic Council’s primary purpose is to generate ideas to meet challenges to globalism, and to foster “dramatic economic and political change” by informing and “galvanizing” globalist leaders to shape policy choices and strategies to accomplish its worldwide purposes. By “dramatic economic and political change,” the Atlantic Council means, “regime-change.” Furthermore, the Atlantic Council promotes Diversity, Equity and Inclusion philosophy throughout its sphere of influence. In the photo below, the globalist influence over the purposes of the Atlantic Council is on display.

In this photo you see the side of the political spectrum the Atlantic Council promotes

Pictured below, Victoria Nuland, the architect of the 2014 Ukrainian regime-change operation, addresses the Atlantic Council less than three months before the coup. Regime-change operations are not authorized under the US Constitution and violate international law. Rich McCormick is fine with American regime-change operations. McCormick’s purposes toward Ukraine and Russia align with those of the Atlantic Council and Victoria Nuland, contributing to the reasons he is on Putin’s list of 500.

The professed purpose of the Brookings Institute is to “strengthen American democracy; foster the economic and social welfare, security, and opportunity of all Americans; and secure a more open, safe, prosperous, and cooperative international system.” That intention also translates into promoting regime-change operations around the world and installing puppet governments to achieve what it terms, “safety, prosperity and cooperation among nations,” but solely within the American sphere of influence.

Below, Brookings selectively forgets the illegal 2014 American overthrow of the Ukrainian Government, which is the reason Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk each had the right under international law to break away from Ukraine. Brookings would like you to believe Russia is the one carrying out a proxy war, which is exactly what America is doing with Ukraine, as proudly proclaimed by Rich McCormick campaigning for congress in 2022. Thus, Rich McCormick’s purposes toward Ukraine and Russia align with the purposes of Brookings, another reason his name is on Putin’s list of 500.

On another front, Brookings would like us to believe it is impartial, however its publications do not support that finding. Brookings publishes the Lawfare Blog, a periodical made famous promoting the use of lawfare against President Trump during his presidency. Just today, Representative McCormick announced his “pre-endorsement” for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for president in 2024. That is because Trump has been vocal calling for peace in Ukraine, vocal to “stop the killing,” further expressing that when he becomes president, the war will halt within 24 hours. McCormick does not want peace in Ukraine. McCormick wants war. McCormick wants regime-change in Russia. McCormick wants Putin in a gulag. In response to Trump’s peace pronouncements, Rich McCormick has turned away from Trump to the extent that he has endorsed an individual who hasn’t even publicly decided to run. This is another reason Rich McCormick is on Putin’s list.

American Defense Contractors

Next on the list of 500 personas non grata in Russia are 22 individuals holding prominant positions with western defense contractors General Dynamics, General Atomics, Lockheed Martin and Pratt & Whitney. These corporations supply weapons to NATO. NATO’s only purpose is to oppose Russia with military power. It should surprise no one that Russia would close its borders to weapons manufacturers who make weapons to destroy Russia. In his social media post above, Rich McCormick states clearly, he is not joking when he says he, “would love to one day see St. Basil's Cathedral and eat borscht on the Volga river--when Mr. Putin's enjoying retirement in the gulag.” The only way Putin might end up in a gulag would be after a successful military conflict and resultant Russian regime-change operation, the ultimate dream of western defense contractors, more reasons Rich McCormick is on Putin’s list of 500.

In-Q-Tel

In-Q-Tel fills the next slot in the list of 500 blocked from entering Russia, 15 of its officials so designated. In-Q-Tel is a CIA “Venture Capital Fund.” What does that mean? Just ask yourself what the CIA normally “ventures” to accomplish? The CIA ventures to accomplish all sorts of things, from classical spy activites, to regime-change operations, to creating and funding para-military groups such as al Qaeda and ISIS, to operating questionably-legitimate businesses around the world, possibly illegal in the US, and to providing propaganda for foreign, and even domestic consumption. It’s safe to say, that if a certain corporation, or perhaps even an entire industry, seeks to change the internal status quo of a nation, to create a more favorable environment for profits, In-Q-Tel could provide a vehicle to capitalize a CIA venture for that purpose. Many of the intentions of those operations are unconstitutional, outside the bounds of international law, and certainly not welcome in Russia. Therefore these 15 In-Q-Tel officials are not welcome there either. The 2014 overthrow of the democratically-elected government in Ukraine, resulting in the continuance of a 50-year oil and gas exploration contract with Chevron, is the kind of project In-Q-Tel might capitalize. That Rich McCormick supports these kinds of regime-change operations demonstrates that his purposes align with In-Q-Tel, another reason his name is on Putin’s list of 500.

Center for a New American Security

Boasting 12 names on Putin’s list of 500 no longer welcome in Russia is the quintessential neo-conservative think tank, the Center for a New American Security. Simply put, the CNAS has never known a Russian it didn’t hate. CNAS is funded by the defense contractors Northrop Grumman, Airbus, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and BAE. It is also funded by energy giants Chevron, BP, Exxon and Mobil, and, of course, by George Soros’ Open Society Foundation. Assistant Secretary of State over Europe for both Obama and Biden, Victoria Nuland, architect of the Ukrainian Government coup and bona fide crazy person, is a former CEO of CNAS. Here she is speaking to the US-Ukraine Foundation in late 2013, weeks before the coup. In her speech, Nuland let it known that US taxpayers had already invested over $5 billion to help “Ukraine achieve its European aspirations.” In other words, Nuland and her globalist, neo-conservative friends in high US positions, had been hard at work persuading Europe to accept Ukraine into the NATO mutual defense agreement. That she is standing in front of a Chevron sign points to one of the major beneficiaries of the coup, Chevron, who, based upon Nuland’s influence, would sign that 50-year deal (referred above) for oil and gas exploration in Ukraine. Obviously, Russia wants nothing to do with any of these people. Rich McCormick is unapologetic about Nuland’s coup, unapologetic concerning the death and destruction the 2014 regime-change operation has caused, says Biden has not done enough to help Ukraine, that the US has only gone halfway in providing weapons and war machinery to Ukraine from the same American defense industry responsible for funding CNAS. And that is yet another reason Rich McCormick has landed on Putin’s list of 500.

Geoffrey Ross Pyatt

One name on the list commonly associated with Nuland is former US Ambassador to Ukraine and former Deputy Secretary of State, Geoffrey Pyatt. It was Pyatt who listened on the other end of a famous recorded phone call as Victoria Nuland discussed whom she was going to choose to become the new Ukrainian Prime Minister as the coup was succeeding in February 2014.

Other Interesting Names Banned From Entering Russia

Finally, below is an assortment of other names of individuals no longer welcome in Russia:

• Barack Obama - former US President who approved the 2014 Ukrainian coup

• Rachel Maddow - commentator on MSNBC, major contributor to Trump-Russia collusion disinformation campaign

• Erin Burnett – commentator on CNN, another major contributor to Trump-Russia collusion disinformation campaign

• Brad Raffensperger - Georgia Secretary of State allowing fraudulent votes to decide the 2020 US Presidential Election placing Russian enemy Joe Biden into the White House and forcing stabilizing influencer Donald Trump out

• Michael Byrd – the police officer who killed Ashley Babbit on January 6th

• Michael S. Barr – Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve

• Various members of Biden’s White House staff

What They All Have in Common

So, what do all of these individuals, banned from entering Russia, have in common?

Answer: Everyone of them is either a leftist, a globalist or a neoconservative (or neocon as some say). Some are all three. Leftists are activists who push socialism and communism. Globalists are the corporate financiers of world socialism and communism. But who are the neocons? What is their purpose?

Webster defines neoconservatism as, “a conservative who advocates the assertive promotion of democracy and U.S. national interest in international affairs including through military means.” But neoconservatism does not exist in a vacuum. Underwriting the purpose of promoting democracy using the American military for U.S. interests is the philosophy justifying regime-change operations, such as in Ukraine in 2014. To the neocons, the world is America’s to dominate, fulfilling any and every ambient purposes its leaders decide. In other words, neoconservatism is simply globalism from the American point of view, diverting the economic wealth of the American people, wealth which pays for American military power to accomplish the purpose of achieving a one-world controlling body responsible only to the western corporatists and financiers who call the shots. There is no philosophical difference between neoconservatism and globalism. The only difference is that, whereas globalism is the pursuit of world domination, neoconservatism offers a means to achieve it through the projection of American power. Neoconservatism achieves world domination through the use of American power fueled by American wealth and taxes collected from the American people.

The leftists in all of this, (eg. Obama, Maddow, Burnett, even Raffensperger) are all operatives involved in constituting and maintaining a voting block sufficient to support the political power necessary to achieve neoconservative, globalist objectives. Russia wants none of that. The Russian foreign ministry has published this list to make that clear.

But in case you still do not understand why 6th District Representative Rich McCormick is on this list, a better question might be to ask, why shouldn’t he be? Rich McCormick advocates using US tax dollars, apparently with no end, to supply Ukraine with American weapons, to be used against Russia, weapons manufactured by the defense contractors alongside him on the list of 500. Rich McCormick advocates using the people of Ukraine as US proxies, essentially cannon fodder, caught in a war against Russia in which the people of Ukraine suffer and die, such that, according to Representative McCormick, his sons won’t have to.

It is doubtful Georgia’s 6th District Representative will be interested in visiting Russia anytime soon. That is because, regardless what you may hear from the western mainstream media, Russia is decidely winning its war against Ukraine. Vladimir Putin is going nowhere, especially not to any gulag Rich McCormick may have in mind.

But that Rich McCormick will not be allowed to enter Russia, likely for the rest of his life, is not relevant. The point of this piece is for readers in the 6th district to gain a better insight into the broader, geopolitical purposes of the individual they have chosen to represent them in Washington, DC. Some may agree with those purposes. That’s fine. But many likely do not. I do not. Either way, there is a reason 6th District Representative Rich McCormick finds himself on this list. It is because his purposes include death and destruction for both Ukraine and Russia. And from my standpoint, I don’t know why Putin waited so long.
