I suppose it is necessary, considering the
bleak and humorless times we live in, to immediately
start by acknowledging that the headline is meant as
satire, what Webster defines as a form of “ridicule
to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices,
particularly in the context of contemporary politics
and other topical issues.”
In other words, nyet,
the Kremlin does not have a hotline to the American
brain that can trigger card-carrying Democrats to
enter a catatonic trance on Election Day and vote
against Joe Biden, or any of the other flawless
Democratic gems for that matter. By this time,
especially following the release of the Mueller
Report, you would think that conspiracy theories
involving Russia and American democracy would have
subsided; instead they’ve only escalated as the U.S.
enters the hot end of the 2020 presidential election
campaign.
Courtesy of
Bloomberg:
“U.S.
intelligence and law enforcement officials are
assessing whether Russia is trying to undermine Joe
Biden in its ongoing disinformation efforts with the
former vice president still the front-runner in the
race to challenge President Donald Trump, according
to two officials familiar with the matter…
Part of the
inquiry is to determine whether Russia is trying to
weaken Biden by promoting controversy over his past
involvement in U.S. policy toward Ukraine while his
son worked for an energy company there.”
So how exactly does Russia, in a scene straight
out of A Clockwork Orange, tap into the frontal lobe
section of the U.S. electorate and cause them to
lose all confidence in their political favorites?

“A signature trait of Russian President Vladimir
Putin ‘is his ability to convince people of outright
falsehoods,’ William Evanina, director of the
National Counterintelligence and Security Center,
said in a statement. ‘In America, [the Russians are]
using social media and many other tools to inflame
social divisions, promote conspiracy theories and
sow distrust in our democracy and elections.’”
Yes, somehow those dastardly Russians have
outsmarted the brightest and best-paid political
strategists in Washington, D.C. by brandishing what
amounts to some really persuasive memes over social
media, and for just rubles on the dollar. The
techies at Wired
went so far as to call this epic assault on the
fragile American cranium, “meme warfare to divide
America.” By way of evidence, it cited a very
creative meme that screamed, “F*CK THE ELECTIONS,”
which was intended, as the ironclad argument goes,
to cause a number of impressionable Americans to
throw up their hands in a fit of collective
exasperation and say, ‘Ok, that’s it. I’m staying at
home on Election Day.’
Yes, it’s really that easy! Imagine all the money
the Russians and their radical new political
technologies could have saved guys like casino
tycoon, Sheldon Adelson, who
showered the Trump campaign with $100 million
dollars.
Many of those divisive Russian messages wormed
their way onto Facebook, purportedly, where God only
knows how many voter brains’ turned to maggots and
mush just staring at them. Yet one individual who
actually recalls seeing one or two of these
dangerous memes was Rob Goldman, former Vice
President for Advertising on Facebook, who revealed
via Twitter, another infected social media platform,
some interesting information:
“Most of the coverage of Russian meddling
involves their attempt to effect the outcome of the
2016 U.S. election. I have seen all of the Russian
ads and I can say very definitively that swaying the
election was *NOT* the main goal.”
Clearly, Goldman seems to have been under the
sway of some folk Russian brainwashing technique,
probably passed down from the time of Rasputin. In
any case, Donald Trump himself took great
satisfaction from that particular revelation,
retweeting it to his millions of minions.
Incidentally, it may or may not be relevant, but
Goldman
retired from Facebook in October 2019 after
seven years with the company.
Russia, the
gift that keeps on giving
Not only have the Democrats been able to use the
Russia bogeyman as their excuse for losing the White
House in 2016, they are able to summon this distant
nuclear power whenever they wish to curb internet
freedoms, which is pretty much every day now.
Now, fun-loving memes are under attack and may
soon go the way of the DoDo bird (“A small office of
Russian trolls could derail 241 years of U.S.
political history with a handful of dank memes and
an advertising budget that would barely buy you a
billboard in Brooklyn,” screamed insanely
The Guardian). At the same time, the freedom of
speech is getting
destroyed by vapid accusations of ‘hate speech,’
which, unless used to incite violence, is a totally
meaningless term used to eliminate any conversation
that is undesirable to the elite.
Meanwhile, only the mainstream media these days
are
permitted to dabble in ‘conspiracy theories’
even as their own false narratives have contributed
to the pulverization of entire nations, as was the
case in Iraq, for example, which sustained a
full-blown U.S. military invasion in 2003 following
debunked claims that Saddam Hussein was harboring
weapons of mass destruction. That was the mother of
all conspiracy theories that was pushed unchallenged
by the mainstream media.
So back to Joe Biden.
Do intelligent Americans really need help from
Russia to prove that just maybe the former Vice
President is mentally and physically unfit to stand
for the White House? Probably not. From whispering
sweet nothings into the ears of any female within
groping distance, to sucking on his wife’s
fingertips at a political rally, something just
doesn’t seem altogether right upstairs with Joe
Biden. So what is the real story for dragging
Russia, once again, into the internal swamp pit
known as Washington, D.C.?
The Bloomberg article provides a big hint: “This
time around, the narrative about Biden and Ukraine
is … well-publicized and being advanced by Trump,
his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and the
president’s Republican allies in Congress.”
And that “narrative” has everything to do with
not only the Democrats’ frozen impeachment
proceedings against the U.S. leader, which promises
to have major connections to Ukraine, Joe Biden and
his son Hunter, and quite possibly dozens of other
top Democrats. In other words, the Democrats
understand that pushing ahead with impeachment could
be their ultimate downfall.
Although few Americans seem to remember that back
in May of 2019, Trump
granted U.S. Attorney General William Barr “full
and complete authority” to investigate exactly how
claims that Trump was ‘conspiring with the Kremlin’
in the 2016 presidential election had originated,
the Democrats certainly have not.
Their bogus ‘Russian collusion’ claim provided
the rationale for a four-year-long ‘witch hunt’ that
began when the Democrats, relying on the flimsy
findings contained in the so-called ‘Steele dossier,
managed to get approval from the FISA court to spy
on the Trump campaign. Now, some top-ranking
Democrats – never imagining Hillary Clinton would
actually lose in 2016 – are understandably nervous
as to what Barr and his assistant, federal attorney
John Durham will divulge to the public in the coming
months.
With so much riding on the line in 2020, is
anyone surprised that Bloomberg, the news affiliate
owned and operated by Democratic contender Michael
Bloomberg, is now reporting “U.S. officials are
warning that Russia’s election interference in 2020
could be more brazen than in the 2016 presidential
race or the 2018 midterm election.”
In other words, the racist ploy used by Democrats
to explain their monumental defeat in 2016 did not
end with the Mueller Report. The conspiracy theory,
promulgated by a media that is in effect just
another branch of the Democratic National Committee,
is being primed to explain not only possible
criminal charges aimed at top Democrats in the
coming months, but how Democrats, like Michael
Bloomberg, failed once again to beat the seemingly
unstoppable incumbent, Donald Trump.
