Thus, she made a fool of herself, which is par for her course.<\/p>\n<p>Now the entire Western media has joined Megyn in foolishness, or so it appears from a RT report. James O\u2019Keefe has senior CNN producer John Bonifield on video telling O\u2019Keefe that CNN\u2019s anti-Russia reporting is purely for ratings: \u201cIt\u2019s mostly bullshit right now. Like, we don\u2019t have any big giant proof.\u201d CNN\u2019s Bonifield is reported to go on to say that \u201cour CIA is doing shit all the time, we\u2019re out there trying to manipulate governments.\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rt.com\/usa\/394233-russia-cnn-ratings-veritas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.rt.com\/usa\/394233-russia-cnn-ratings-veritas\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And, of course, the American people, the European peoples, and the US and European governments are being conditioned by the \u201cRussia did it\u201d storyline to distrust Russia and to accept whatever dangerous and irresponsible policy toward Russia that Washington comes up with next.<\/p>\n<p>Is the anti-Russian propaganda driven by ratings as Bonifield is reported to claim, or are ratings the neoconservatives and military\/security complex\u2019s cover for media disinformation that increases tensions between the superpowers and prepares the ground for nuclear war?<\/p>\n<p>RT acknowledges that the entire story could be just another piece of false news, which is all that the Western media is known for.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, what we do know is that the fake news reporting pertains to Russia\u2019s alleged interference in the US presidential election. Allegedly, Trump was elected by Putin\u2019s interference in the election. This claim is absurd, but if you are Megyn Kelly you lack the IQ to see that. Instead, presstitutes turn a nonsense story into a real story despite the absence of any evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Who actually interfered in the US presidential election, Putin or the presstitutes themselves? The answer is clear and obvious. It was the presstitutes, who were out to get Trump from day one of the presidential campaign. It is CIA director John Brennan, who did everything in his power to brand Trump some sort of Russian agent. It is FBI director Comey who did likewise by continuing to \u201cinvestigate\u201d what he knew was a non-event. We now have a former FBI director playing the role of special prosecutor investigating Trump for \u201cobstruction of justice\u201d when there is no evidence of a crime to be obstructed! What we are witnessing is the ongoing interference in the presidential election, an interference that not only makes a mockery of democracy but also of the rule of law.<\/p>\n<p>The presstitutes not only interfered in the presidential election; they are now interfering with democracy itself. They are seeking to overturn the people\u2019s choice by discrediting the President of the United States and those who elected him. The Democratic Party is a part of this attack on American democracy. It is the DNC that insists that a Putin\/Trump conspiracy stole the presidency from Hillary. The Democrats\u2019 position is that it is too risky to permit the American people\u2014the \u201cdeplorables\u201d\u2014 to vote. The Democratic Party\u2019s line is that if you let Americans vote, they will elect a Putin stooge and America will be ruled by Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Many wonder why Trump doesn\u2019t use the power of the office of the presidency to indict the hit squad that is out to get him. There is no doubt that a jury of deplorables would indict Brennan, Comey, Megyn Kelly and the rest. On the other hand, perhaps Trump\u2019s view is that the Republican Party cannot afford to go down with him, and, therefore, as he is politically protected by the Republican majority, the best strategy is to let the Democrats and the presstitutes destroy themselves in the eyes of flyover America.<\/p>\n<p>What our survival as Americans depends on is the Russians\u2019 view of this conflict between a US President who intended to reduce the tensions between the nuclear powers and those determined to increase the tensions. The Russian high command has already announced its conclusion that Washington is preparing a surprise nuclear attack on Russia. It is not possible to imagine a more dangerous conclusion. So far, no one in Washington or any Western government has made an effort to reassure Russia that no such attack is being prepared. Instead, the calls are for more punishment of Russia and more tension.<\/p>\n<p>This most extraordinary of failures demonstrates the complete separation of the West from reality.<\/p>\n<p>It is difficult to imagine a more extreme danger than for the insouciant West to convince Russia that the West is incapable of rational behavior. But that is precisely what the West is doing.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2017\/06\/28\/presstitutes-not-russia-interfered-us-presidential-election\/\">http:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2017\/06\/28\/presstitutes-not-russia-interfered-us-presidential-election\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=76473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76473\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=76473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=76473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=76473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
