Corporate
Democrats can't stop pushing for war through the Russiagate fiasco.
The
party has been completely taken over by the neocon/neoliberal
establishment and has nothing to do with the Left. The pro-Hillary
warmongering media, the ones that pushed for war in Iraq and
elsewhere, through big lies and false evidence, are the vanguard of
this ugly machine that supports the most terrible Trump
administration bills, yet, this machine can't stop accusing him for
'colluding' with Russia that 'interfered' in the 2016 US election. Of
course, no evidence presented for such an accusation and no one
really can explain what that 'interference' means.
But
things are probably much worse, because this completely absurd
persistence on Russiagate fiasco that feeds an evident anti-Russian
hysteria, destroys all the influence of the Kremlin moderates who
struggle to keep open channels between Russia and the United States.
Stephen
Cohen, professor emeritus of Russian studies, history, and politics
at NY University and Princeton University, explained to Aaron Maté
and the Real
News the terrible consequences:
They're
accusing the President of the United States of being a Russian agent,
this has never happened in American history. However much you may
loathe Trump, this is a whole new realm of defamation. For a number
of years, there's been a steady degradation of American political
culture and discourse, generally. There was a time when I hoped or
thought that it would be the Democratic Party that would push against
that degradation.
Now,
however, though I'm kind of only nominally, a Democrat, it's the
Democratic Party that's degrading our political culture and our
discourse. So, this is MSNBC, which purports to be not only the
network of the Democratic Party, but the network of the progressive
wing of the Democratic Party, is now actually because this guy was a
semi-anchor was asking the question to an American senator, "Do
you think that Representative Nunes, because he wants the memo
released, has been compromised by the Kremlin?"
I think
all of us need to focus on what's happened in this country when in
the very mainstream, at the highest, most influential levels of the
political establishment, this kind of discourse is no longer
considered an exception. It is the norm. We hear it daily from MSNBC
and CNN, from the New York Times and the Washington Post, that people
who doubt the narrative of what's loosely called Russiagate are
somehow acting on behalf of or under the spell of the Kremlin, that
we aren't Americans any longer. And by the way, if people will say,
"Well, it's a weak capitulation of McCarthyism," I
say no, it's much more than that because McCarthy was obsessed with
Communist. That was a much narrower concept than being obsessed with
anybody who might be under Russian influence of any kind. The
so-called affinity for Russia. Well, I have a profound affinity for
Russian culture and for Russian history. I study it all the time.
This is something new. And so, when you accuse a Republican or any
Congressman of being a Kremlin agent, this has become a commonplace.
We are degraded.
The new
Cold War is unfolding not far away from Russia, like the last in
Berlin, but on Russia's borders in the Baltic and in Ukraine. We are
building up our military presence there, so the Russians are
counter-building up, though within their territory. That means the
chances of hot war are now much greater than they were before.
Meanwhile, not only do we not have a discussion of these real dangers
in the United States but anyone who wants to incite a discussion,
including the President of the United States, is called treasonous.
Every time Trump has tried with Putin to reach a cooperative
arrangement, for example, on fighting terrorism in Syria, which is a
necessary purpose, literally, the New York Times and the others call
him treasonous. Whereas, in the old days, the old Cold War, we had a
robust discussion. There is none here. We have no alert system that's
warning the American people and its representatives how dangerous
this is. And as we mentioned before, it's not only Nunes, it's a lot
of people who are being called Kremlin agents because they want to
digress from the basic narrative.
Meanwhile,
people in Moscow who formed their political establishment, who
surround Putin and the Kremlin, I mean, the big brains who are formed
policy tankers, and who have always tended to be kind of
pro-American, and very moderate, have simply come to the conclusion
that war is coming. They can't think of a single thing to tell the
Kremlin to offset hawkish views in the Kremlin. Every day, there's
something new. And these were the people
in Moscow who are daytime peacekeeping interlockers. They have been
destroyed by Russiagate. Their influence as Russia is
zilch. And the McCarthyites in Russia, they have various terms, now
called the pro-American lobby in Russia 'fifth columnists'.
This is the damage that's been done. There's never been anything like
this in my lifetime.
The
Democrats couldn't had downgrade their party further. This disgusting
spectacle would make FDR totally ashamed of what this party has
become. Not only they are voting for every pro-plutocracy GOP bill
under Trump administration, but they have become champions in
bringing back a much worse and unpredictable Cold War that is
dangerously escalating tension with Russia.
And,
unfortunately, even the most progressives of the Democrats are
adopting the Russiagate bogus, like Bernie Sanders, because they know
that if they don't obey to the narratives, the DNC establishment will
crush them politically in no time.
This is the Truth - This is the reason behind the lies and fake new of "Russia-Gate" This intelligence community has produced fake news and convoluted all of this to prevent this - the Actual Truth - from being exposed and published:
