Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept exposes the fake news put out by the US Department of Homeland Security (an euphemistic name for a Big Brother operation that spies on US citizens) that Russia hacked 21 US state elections, news that was instantly spread around the world by the presstitute media. The propagandists running Homeland Security were contradicted by the state governments, forcing Homeland Security to retract its fake news claims. https://theintercept.com/2017/09/28/yet-another-major-russia-story-falls-apart-is-skepticism-permissible-yet/
The unasked/unanswered question is why did Homeland Security put out a FAKE NEWS story?

Greenwald explains that the US media is so conditioned by the National Security State to see Russian President Putin lurking behind and masterminding attacks on America that it is “now religious dogma”—a requirement—to find Russian perfidy everywhere. The result Greenwald correctly says is that “an incredibly reckless, anything-goes climate prevails when it comes to claims about Russia. Media outlets will publish literally any official assertion as Truth without the slightest regard for evidentiary standards.”
In other words, the United States no longer has a media. It has a propaganda ministry for the military/security complex, the neoconservatives, and the Israel Lobby. And the idiot Americans sit in front of the TV and absorb the propaganda, and they read the New York Times and think that they are sophisticated and in the know.
What Greenwald doesn’t address is the effect of the massive amount of fake news on Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. Russia knows that Washington knows that the accusations against Russia are false. So why is Washington making false accusations against Russia?
This is a serious question, not only for Russia but for the entire world. All previous false accusations from the Clinton regime criminals, the Bush/Cheney regime criminals, and the Obama regime criminals ended in miiltary attacks on the falsely demonized targets. Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea would be within reason to wonder if the false news propaganda attack on them is a prelude to military attack.
Iran and North Korea cannot attack the US and its European vassals, but Russia and China can. I have written about the Operational Command of the Russian armed forces conclusion that Washington is preparing a surprise nuclear attack on Russia. Instead of reassuring the Russians that no such planning is in the works, Washington has instead pushed further the fake news Russiagate story with the false report that Russia had hacked the elections of 21 states.
What is the point of US security agencies such as Homeland Security, CIA, FBI, NSA constantly filling the propaganda machine known as the American Media with lies about Russia? Russia must wonder as well. Russia knows that they are lies. Russia knows that it does no good to refute the lies because the West has a Propanganda Ministry instead of a media. Russia knows that Washington told lies about the Taliban, Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, Assad, Iran. What does Russia conclude from the constant stream of lies about Russia that flow out of Washington and are
presented as truth by the Western presstitutes?
If you were the Russian government, would you conclude that your country was the next to be attacked militarily by Washington? If you were the Russian government, you would know that Washington/NATO cannot possibly attack Russia except by surprise nuclear strike. Knowing this, if you were the Russian government, would you sit there and wait on the strike? Imagine yourself the Russian government listening day in, day out, to endless wild improbable charges against Russia. What can Russia possibly conclude other than this is preparation of Western peoples for a nuclear attack on Russia?
Russia is not going to be hung like Saddan Hussein or murdered like Gaddafi.
I have written many times that provoking nuclear powers such as Russia and China is the most extreme form of recklessness and irresponsibility. The crazed morons in Washington are risking the life of the planet. The presstitutes are worse than the whores that they are. They never question the path to war; they only amplify it. Washington’s craven, cowardly, moranic vassel states in UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, and the rest of the EU/NATO idiots are, by their cooperation with Washington, begging for their own destruction.
Nowhere in the West is there a sign of intelligence.
Will Washington follow Adolf Hitler’s folly and march into Russia?
The Russians will be understanding for our Polish exercise to drop a few thousand tanks and support troops into there as just an exercise to burn fuel.
You can bet that Putin and pals have seen the video of Victoria Nuland on a stage stating in her speech that USA had spend FIVE BILLION for the Ukraine regime change. Soon the snipers killed the ninety innocents ia the town square for emphasis.
Soon after that the airliner with the 250 innocent souls was shot out of the sky.
Putin did not take any of the baits offered and demurred to full scale conflict.
Putin has memorized “THE ART OF WAR.”, which all the Obama kiddies, like Nuland had likely never heard of, much less studied.
No doubt Trumps generals have had the course on the book, so maybe there is some hope?
Maybe that was the plan all along, lure the Muslims into Europe under the guise of immigration and then provoke Russia into nuking the place until it glows in the dark. Just a thot. thanks
They are assholes liars and phonies but they are not irrational. There will be no nuclear war. This will be just like the great Ukrainian war of 2015. Their specialty is wars with 3rd world armies with 1960’s technology who are great at intimidating unarmed civilians.
Nobody or very few in America have a clue how fucked up our nations government insiders have become . Like the scene from blazing saddles , “How are we going to protect our phony baloney jobs” !
Agency after agency and my favorite circle jerk Wall Street to K-Street to Capitol Street to The Pentagon to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and beyond . A well honestly informed society does not allow this mess to continue so the circle jerk conspires to dum everybody down and so far so good . The insiders enrich themselves and the crony supporters as the nation is hollowed out to an empty shell . Don’t worry it won’t be long now ! As for nuclear war maybe but doubtful these people are stupid but not that stupid , I hope !
