counterpunch | The Democratic Party is doing incalculable damage to itself by
shapeshifting into the party of baseless conspiracy theories, groundless
accusations, and sour grapes. Hillary Clinton was already the most
distrusted presidential candidate in party history. Now she’s become the
de facto flag-bearer for the nutso-clique of aspiring propagandists at
the CIA, the New York Times and Bezo’s Military Digest. How is that
going to improve the party’s prospects for the long term?
It won’t, because the vast majority of Americans do not want to align
themselves with a party of buck-passing juveniles that have no vision
for the future but want to devote all their energy to kooky witch-hunts
that further prove they are unfit for high office.
The reason Hillary Clinton lost the election is because she is a
polarizing, untrustworthy warmonger. Period. Putin had nothing to do
with it.
And the same rule applies to the major media that has attached itself
leech-like to this pathetic fairytale. Here’s a clip from the Times
headline story connecting FSB-agent Trump with the evil Kremlin:
“American intelligence agencies have told the White House they have “high confidence” that the Russian government was behind the theft of emails and documents from the Democratic National Committee. …
The attack on the congressional committee’s system appears to have come from an entity known as “Fancy Bear,” which is connected to the G.R.U., the Russian military intelligence service, according to an official involved in the forensic investigation…
Clinton campaign officials have suggested that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia could be trying to tilt the election to Mr. Trump, who has expressed admiration for the Russian leader.” (Computer Systems Used by Clinton Campaign Are Said to Be Hacked, Apparently by Russians, New York Times)
If there was a Pulitzer Prize for fearmongering innuendo or spurious
accusations, the Times would win it hands-down. As it happens, readers
have to delve much deeper into the article to find this shocking
disclaimer:
“But the campaign officials acknowledge that they have no evidence.
The Trump campaign has dismissed the accusations about Russia as a
deliberate distraction…..”
“No evidence”???
They got nothing. NOTHING!
All they have is a few anonymous agents who refuse to identify
themselves speculating on alleged hacking incidents that (they surmise)
were the work of Vladimir P. Strangelove in his remote Soviet Cyber-war
bunker. That’s not even enough material for a decent spy thriller.
