De
democratische partij in de VS zit in grote ellende, waar de top
onlangs toegaf dat men de voorverkiezingen in de partij, voorafgaand
aan de presidentsverkiezingen heeft gestoken, dit ten koste van
progressieve kandidaten als Sanders. Voorts is men bezig een
aanklacht tegen Wikileaks voor te bereiden vanwege de feitelijke berichtgeving over de manipulaties van die partijtop…….
Intussen
is het zo dat je in de VS niet ongestraft kan zeggen dat het hele
Russiagate verhaal verzonnen is om Rusland de schuld voor o.a. het
lekken van documenten en manipulatie van de verkiezingen in de
schoenen te schuiven. Je wordt nog net niet door de overheid
vervolgd, maar je naam wordt door de media al snel door de stront
gehaald…..
Met
andere woorden: als je kritiek hebt op smerige beschuldigingen van o.a. de geheime diensten en de reguliere media, beschuldigingen waar geen nanometer bewijs voor is, ben je een linkse Russische trol (en eigenlijk een verrader…), ook al is jouw verhaal op feiten gebaseerd……….
Jill Stein, leider van de Green Party in de VS wordt o.a. door Jim Sciutto van CNN aangemerkt als een Russische trol, dit voor het aanhalen van feitelijke VS bemoeienis met verkiezingen in andere landen (gedocumenteerd)……. Uiteraard is dit uitermate gevaarlijk, zeker in de ‘gun crazy’ VS, mensen daar zijn voor minder vermoord……..

“Russian
Talking Points” Look An Awful Lot Like Well-Documented Facts
caitlinjohnstone (63) in russia •
Things
aren’t looking great for the Democratic establishment, which recently
admitted that it stacks its primaries against
progressive candidates and is currently engaged in a desperate, hail
Mary lawsuit
against WikiLeaks for
its factual publications about the party. So of course you know what
that means.
That’s
right! It’s time for Democratic pundits to begin down-punching Jill
Stein.
“Jill
Stein is on @NewDay right
now repeating Russian talking points on its interference in the 2016
election and on US foreign policy,” tweeted CNN
Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto today, without
shame or self-reflection.
Sciutto
was referring to comments Stein made on a CNN
interview today about
America’s undeniable, entirely factual and well-documented
history of
meddling in other countries’ elections, including a citation of
an ex-CIA
Director’s recent admission that
the US has interfered in foreign electoral processes and continues to
do so to this day.
Because
that’s what constitutes a “Russian talking point” these
days: raw, easily verifiable facts.
Stein’s
interviewer, Chris “It’s illegal to read WikiLeaks” Cuomo,
echoed a similar sentiment in response to her points, in essence
arguing that only Russians should be stating these blatantly obvious
and extremely relevant facts.
“You
know, that would be the case for Russia to make, not from the
American perspective,” Cuomo said. “Of course, there’s
hypocrisy involved, lots of different big state actors do lots of
things that they may not want people to know about. But let Russia
say that the United States did it to us, and here’s how they did it,
so this is fair play. From the American perspective and you running
for president, more than once of this country, shouldn’t your
position have been, this was bad what they did, they’re trying to do
it right now and we have to stop it?”
Right.
Because you have so many Russians on your show making that case, do
you Chris?
This
is absolute lunacy. The implication here is that it isn’t ever okay
for Americans to talk about Russia in any other context than how
awful and evil its government is; that nobody can speak about how
America’s behavior factors into the equation in a very real and
significant way. Not because it’s not factual, not because it’s not
relevant, but because it’s a “Russian talking point”, and
only Russians should be saying it.
And
this sentiment being promulgated by these establishment pundits is
being swallowed hook, line and sinker by the rank-and-file citizenry
who consume such media. Every single day, without exception, I am
accused multiple times of being a propagandist for the Kremlin. Not
because there’s any evidence for that, not because I’m writing
anything that is untruthful, but because I’m writing “Russian
talking points”, i.e. arguments that have ostensibly been made
at some point by Russians.
And
it is, to be perfectly honest, infuriating. These people are actively
making the case for willful ignorance and stupidity. They’re actively
arguing that facts which don’t support the narratives being
promulgated by the CIA and the State Department should be completely
excluded from all discussion within the western hemisphere, and that
only Russians should be making them. They do this while
simultaneously arguing that Russian media is dangerous and should be
avoided by Americans. Only Russians should argue against CIA/CNN
narratives, and we should never, ever listen to those arguments.
They’re
arguing for the deliberate omission of relevant facts from dialogue.
They are arguing that we should all be morons, on purpose.
Of course it’s
relevant to the discussion that the US interferes with foreign
democratic processes far more than any other government on the
planet! Are you nuts? Yes, obviously if
yours is the primary country responsible creating a climate wherein
governments meddle in the elections of other nations, that undeniable
fact must necessarily be a part of any sensible analysis of what’s
happening and what should be done about it. Anyone who tries to argue
that that fact shouldn’t be a part of the conversation is making an
argument in favor of stupidity.
That’s
not a “whataboutism”, as empire loyalists like Eric
Boehlert habitually claim.
It’s crucial factual information.
The
environment that these pundits are creating is itself hostile to
democracy. If all “talking points” are excluded from the
conversation other than those which lead to continually escalating
sanctions, proxy wars, nuclear posturing and brinkmanship, then
there’s no way for activism or democracy to tap the brake on the
west’s ongoing trajectory toward direct military confrontation with a
nuclear superpower.
In
her interview, Stein outlined this
quite clearly:
“You
know, I think that kind of position which says that we’re in a
totally different category from the rest of the world is not working.
This century of American domination, you know, sort of didn’t play
out the way we thought it would, we’re embroiled now — we have the
military in practically every country around the world. In the recent
taxes that people pay, the average American paid almost $3,500 that
went into the Department of Offense, I would call it, not the
Department of Defense, $3,500, whereas we put $40 into the EPA.
“You
know, 57 percent of our discretionary dollars now are going into the
military. It’s part of a mindset that says, we’re always right and
they’re always wrong and we’re going to be dominating militarily and
economically. We’re in a multi-polar world right now and, you know,
we need to behave as an exemplary member of the community and that is
by upholding ourselves and leading the way on international law,
human rights and diplomacy. That approach is really paying off on the
Korean peninsula right now. I think we should be using it more
broadly.”
Cuomo,
who as the son of a New York Governor and brother of the current New
York Governor is as much Democratic Party royalty as a Clinton, had
some very interesting facial expressions in response to Stein’s
arguments. Whenever an interviewee makes strong points which go
against the establishment grain he always looks like he’s taking a
really uncomfortable shit:
(ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!)
There
have been far too many cartoonishly absurd responses to Stein’s
interview for me to address in a single article without putting my
laptop through the wall in a fit of rage, but this
tweet from
MSNBC and Atlanticcontributor
Natasha Bertrand is really something else.
“Jill
Stein just told @CNN that
her presence at RT gala in Moscow Dec 2015 wasn’t controversial at
the time because Obama ‘was still on track for a reboot’ with Putin,”
said Bertrand, adding that “Russia had already annexed Crimea,
invaded eastern Ukraine, intervened in Syria for Assad, and hacked
the DNC.”
This
is actual, real-life “Oceania had always been at war with
Eastasia” Orwellian revisionist doublethink. There was no public
information about any Russian DNC hack in 2015, and the average
American hardly ever thought about Russia at that time.
Then-Secretary of State John Kerry personally
met with Vladimir Putin in July of 2016 to
discuss collaboration against terrorist forces in Syria. Only in the
most warped, revisionist, funhouse mirror Orwellian reality tunnel
can it be claimed that Stein visiting Moscow in December of 2015
would have been considered shady or controversial at the time.
The
fact that Bertrand’s tweet was liked and shared thousands of times on
Twitter is extremely creepy and disturbing. Establishment media
didn’t start indoctrinating American liberals with Russia hysteria
until the tail end of 2016, but it’s been so effective that MSNBC
mainliners are now gaslighting themselves into a revision of their
own history.
This
is why people like myself fight the CIA/CNN Russia narrative so
aggressively. Not because we’re propagandists, not because we’re
“useful idiots”, not because of “Russian talking
points”, but because the US-centralized power establishment’s
nonstop campaign to manufacture support for its agendas of global
hegemony are making us all stupid and crazy.
Stop
playing along with this bullshit. Stop letting them make us stupid
and crazy. Stop letting them manipulate us into consenting to
escalations with a nuclear superpower. Stop. Turn back. Wrong way.
