De pogingen om Rusland zonder enig bewijs te beschuldigen van het hacken en manipuleren van de verkiezingen in de VS, hebben alles te maken met het feit dat Rusland eindelijk obstakels wist op te werpen voor de VS en haar psychopathisch, moorddadig buitenlandbeleid!!

Zo is het artikel op Counterpunch van Mike Whitney samen te vatten, een artikel dat op 13 mei ook door Information Clearing House werd gebracht.

Nogmaals wijst Whitney, volkomen terecht op het feit, dat er voor deze beschuldigen gedaan door de VS, geen nanometer bewijs is. Ondanks dat houden de westerse zogenaamd onafhankelijke reguliere media vol (zoals het overgrote deel van de westerse politici) dat Rusland de verkiezingen in de VS middels hacken en het brengen van ‘fake news’ (nepnieuws) heeft gemanipuleerd.

De hysterie daarover is alleen maar toegenomen en het ene na andere westerse land dat met verkiezingen te maken had of heeft, beschuldigen NB op basis van de VS leugens, Rusland van dezelfde zaak in deze verkiezingen…….. Zoals u al begrepen had: ook voor deze beweringen is geen greintje bewijs!!

Dit alles, terwijl wel bewezen is, dat de NSA bevriende EU landen hackte. Dat de VS op basis van grove leugens de ene na de andere illegale oorlog is begonnen en een deel van de westerse bondgenoten op basis van diezelfde leugens wist mee te krijgen. Waar alle westerse landen die leugens (‘fake news‘) overnamen en als bewezen kwalificeerden……… Nogmaals: dit nadat de VS deze eeuw al 4 keer bewezen heeft gelogen over zaken, waarop het een illegale oorlog begon (de 4de keer, middels de oorlog tegen Syrië. Deze oorlog wordt nog steeds als een binnenlandse aangelegenheid gezien, terwijl de VS zelfs al sinds Reagan bezig was met het plannen van een coup in Syrië*, zo bleek uit officiële CIA documenten op Wikileaks gepubliceerd (daarover zal ik op een later tijdstip berichten)

Jammer dat Whitney in zijn artikel Oekraïne noemt als land, waar Rusland de VS blokkeerde in haar pogingen een hen welwillende regering te installeren en de boel daarmee overnemend. Deze poging is wel degelijk geslaagd en het lullige is, dat Rusland daar niets tegen heeft kunnen doen. Sterker nog: ondanks alle leugens is er alweer totaal geen bewijs voor Russische militaire actie in het oosten van Oekraïne……. Alweer: deze leugen, ofwel ‘fake news’ over Russische acties in Oost-Oekraïne, werd en wordt door dezelfde reguliere westerse mediaorganen en politici volgehouden als waarheid……..

Wat betreft De Krim was het juist de bevolking, ook de oorspronkelijke, die in een door internationale waarnemers goedgekeurd referendum, besloot zich bij Rusland aan te sluiten! Dit is op zeker te danken aan het feit, dat de bevolking van De Krim goed pissig was over de VS geregisseerde opstand en staatsgreep (met 4 miljard dollar!!) tegen de ook door hen democratisch gekozen president Janoekovytsj….. Waar de klap op de spreekwoordelijke vuurpijl bestond uit de door de VS geparachuteerde neonazi-junta van Porosjenko, een junta waaronder de bevolking van De Krim terecht niet wenste te leven!!

Ook deze aansluiting van De Krim bij Rusland wordt door de reguliere westerse media, politici en oorlogshitsers in de NAVO voorgesteld als een agressieve Russische daad: De Krim zou zijn geannexeerd door Rusland……

The
Russian Hacking Fiasco

By
Mike Whitney

May
13, 2017 “Information
Clearing House” -There’s no proof that Russia hacked the
US elections.

There’s
no proof that Russian officials or Russian agents colluded with
members of the Trump campaign.

There’s
no proof that Russia provided material support of any kind for the
Trump campaign or that Russian agents hacked Hillary Clinton’s
emails or that Russian officials provided Wikileaks with emails that
were intended to sabotage Hillary’s chances to win the
election.

So
far, no one in any of the 17 US intelligence agencies has
stepped forward and verified the claims of Russian meddling or
produced a scintilla of hard evidence that Russia was in anyway
involved in the 2016 elections.

No
proof means no proof.  It means that the people and
organizations that are making these uncorroborated claims have no
basis for legal action, no presumption of wrongdoing, and no grounds
for prosecution. They have nothing. Zilch.  Their claims,
charges and accusations are like the soap bubbles we give
to our children and grandchildren. The brightly-colored
bubbles wobble across the sky for a minute or two and then,
Poof, they vanish into the ether. The claims of Russia hacking are
like these bubbles. They are empty, unsubstantiated rumors
completely devoid of substance. Poof.

It
has been eight months since the inception of
this unprecedentedly-pathetic and
infinitely-irritating propaganda campaign, and in those eight
months neither the media nor the politicos nor the Intel agents who
claim to be certain that Russia meddled in US elections, have
produced anything that even remotely resembles evidence. Instead,
they have trotted out the same lie over and over again ad
nauseam from every newspaper, every tabloid and every televised
news program in the country. Over and over and over again. The
media’s persistence is nearly as impressive as its
cynicism, which is the one quality that they seem to have
mastered. The coverage has been relentless, ubiquitous,
pernicious and mendacious. The only problem is that there’s
not a grain of truth to any of it. It is all 100 percent, unalloyed
baloney.

So
it doesn’t matter how many Democratic senators and congressmen
disgrace themselves by lighting their hair on fire and
howling about “evil Putin” or the imaginary “threats to our
precious democracy”. Nor does it matter how many hyperbolic
articles appear in media alleging sinister activities and
espionage by diabolical Moscow Central.  It doesn’t
matter because there is have absolutely zero solid evidence to
support their ludicrous and entirely politically-based claims.

Whether
Russia was involved in the US elections or not, is a matter of
pure speculation. But speculation is not sufficient grounds for
appointing a special prosecutor, nor are the lies and misinformation
that appear daily in our leading newspapers, like the
dissembling New York Times, the dissemblingWashington Post and
the dissembling Wall Street Journal. The call for a special
prosecutor is not based on evidence, it is based on politics, the
politics of personal destruction. The Democrats and the media want
this tool so they can rummage through whatever private
information or paperwork anyone in the Trump administration
might possess. So while they might not dig up anything relevant to
the Russia hacking investigation, they will certainly gather
enough sordid or suspicious information to annihilate the
people in their crosshairs. And that’s precisely what
the special prosecutor provision is designed to do; it provides
the  administration’s rivals with the weapons they
need to conduct a massive fishing expedition aimed at character
assassination and, ultimately, impeachment.

But,
why?

Because
Donald Trump had the audacity to win an election that was earmarked
for establishment favorite and globalist warmonger-in-chief,
Hillary Clinton. That’s what this witch hunt is all about, sour
grapes.

But
why has Russia been chosen as the target in this deep state-media
scam? What has Russia done to deserve all the negative press and
unsupported claims of criminal meddling?

That’s
easy. Just look at a map. For the last 16 years, the US has been
rampaging across North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.
Washington intends to control critical oil and natural gas reserves
in the ME, establish military bases across Central Asia, and remain
the dominant player in an area of that is set to become the most
populous and prosperous region of the world. It’s the Great Game
all over again, only this time-around, Uncle Sam is in the drivers
seat not the Queen of England.

But
one country has upset that plan, blocked that plan, derailed that
plan.

Russia.

Russia
has stopped Washington’s murderous marauding and genocidal
depredations in Ukraine and Syria, which is why the US foreign
policy establishment is so pissed-off.  US elites aren’t used
to obstacles.

For
the last quarter of a century– since the fall of the Berlin
Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union– the world had
been Washington’s oyster. If the president of the United
States  wanted to invade a country in the Middle East, kill a
million people, and leave the place in a smoldering pile of rubble,
then who could stop him? 

Nobody. Because Washington owns this fucking planet and everyone else
is just a visitor.

Capisce?

But
now all that’s changed. Now “evil Putin” has thrown up a
roadblock to US hegemony in Syria and Ukraine. Now Washington’s
landbridge to Central Asia has been split in two, and
its plan to control vital pipeline corridors from Qatar to the
EU is no longer viable. Russia has stopped Washington
dead-in-its tracks and Washington is furious.

The
anti-Russia hysteria in the western media is equal to the pain the US
foreign policy establishment is currently experiencing. And the
reason the foreign policy establishment is in so much pain, is
because they are not getting their way.  It’s that simple.
Their global strategy is in a shambles because Russia will not let
them topple the Syrian government, install their own puppet regime,
redraw the map of the Middle East, run roughshod over international
law, and tighten their grip on another battered war-torn part of
the world.

So
now Russia must pay. Putin must be demonized and derided. The
American people must be taught to hate Russia and all-things Russian.
And, most of all, Russia must be blamed for anything and everything
under the sun, including the firing of a completely worthless
sack of shit FBI Director, James Comey, who– at various times
in his career– “approved or defended some of the worst abuses of
the Bush administration….including  torture,
warrantless wiretapping, and indefinite detention.” (ACLU)

This
is the low-down, good-for-nothing scalawag that the Democrats
are now defending tooth in nail.

It’s
pathetic.

Russia
has become the all-purpose punching bag because
Washington’s plans for global domination have gone up in smoke.

The truth
is, Putin’s done us all a big favor.
