The entire world reacted to the Senator\u2019s death last weekend, with most of the Alt-Media Community wildly celebrating it while the Mainstream Media mourned the loss of what they described as an \u201cAmerican hero\u201d. Both sides shared a common ground in believing that his death represented something very significant, whether in a positive or negative way, but the reality is that it doesn\u2019t change anything at all. McCain voluntarily became one of the public faces of the Liberal-Globalist faction of the American \u201cdeep state\u201d and is therefore easily replaceable, even if his\u00a0cartoonish war-mongering rhetoric<\/a>\u00a0isn\u2019t. The world isn\u2019t any more or less safe now that he died because the same network that he represented is still in place even if the messenger changes, which is exactly what will happen once Soros and other similar icons eventually pass away too.<\/p>\n McCain\u2019s pathological hatred of Russia made him stand apart from his \u201cdeep state\u201d peers, though the zeal with which he sought to advance his country\u2019s interests as he subjectively understood them interestingly\u00a0earned him the professional respect of President Putin<\/a>. Speaking to Oliver Stone last June, the Russian leader revealed that \u201cWell, honestly, I like\u00a0Senator McCain to\u00a0a certain extent. And I\u2019m not joking. I like\u00a0him because of\u00a0his patriotism, and I can relate to\u00a0his consistency in\u00a0fighting for\u00a0the interests of\u00a0his own country.\u201d However, he was quick to add that \u201cPeople with\u00a0such convictions, like\u00a0the Senator you mentioned, they still live in\u00a0the Old World. And they\u2019re reluctant to\u00a0look into\u00a0the future, they are unwilling to\u00a0recognize how fast the world is changing\u201d, which shows that President Putin thought that McCain\u2019s specific views were outdated.<\/p>\n Ultimately, McCain\u2019s passing is symbolic because of just how gigantic of a figure he was in the American political and \u201cdeep state\u201d scenes, though he was nevertheless just a representative of a particular ideological faction and no one too important in and of himself.<\/p>\n The post presented is the partial transcript of the CONTEXT COUNTDOWN radio program on Sputnik News,\u00a0aired on Friday Aug 31, 2018<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n DISCLAIMER:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0The author\u00a0writes for this publication in a private capacity which is unrepresentative of anyone or any organization except for his\u00a0own personal views.
