So, it looks like that’s it for America, folks. Putin has gone and done it again. He and his conspiracy of Putin-Nazis have “hacked,” or “influenced,” or “meddled in” our democracy. Unless Admiral Bill McRaven and his special ops cronies can ginny up a last-minute military coup, it’s four more years of the Trumpian Reich, Russian soldiers patrolling the streets, martial law, concentration camps, gigantic banners with the faces of Trump and Putin hanging in the football stadiums, mandatory Sieg-heiling in the public schools, National Vodka-for-Breakfast Day, death’s heads, babushkas, the whole nine yards.

We probably should have seen this coming.

That’s right, as I’m sure you are aware by now, president-in-exile Hillary Clinton has discovered Putin’s diabolical plot to steal the presidency from Elizabeth Warren, or Biden, or whichever establishment puppet makes it out of the Democratic primaries. Speaking to former Obama adviser and erstwhile partner at AKPD Message and Media David Plouffe, Clinton revealed how the godless Rooskies intend to subvert democracy this time:

“I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate.”

She was referring, of course, to Tulsi Gabbard, sitting Democratic Member of Congress, decorated Major in the Army National Guard, and long shot 2020 presidential candidate. Apparently, Gabbard (who reliable anonymous sources in the Intelligence Community have confirmed is a member of some kind of treasonous, Samoan-Hindu, Assad-worshipping cult that wants to force everyone to practice yoga) has been undergoing Russian “grooming” at a compound in an undisclosed location that is probably in the basement of Mar-a-Lago, or on Sublevel 168 of Trump Tower.

In any event, wherever Gabbard is being surreptitiously “groomed” (presumably by someone resembling Lotte Lenya in From Russia With Love), the plan (i.e., Putin’s plan) is to have her lose in the Democratic primaries, then run as a third-party “spoiler” candidate, stealing votes from Warren or Biden, exactly as Jill Stein (who, according to Clinton, is also “totally a Russian asset”) stole them from Clinton back in 2016, allowing Putin to install Donald Trump (who, according to Clinton, is still being blackmailed by the FSB with that “kompromat” pee-tape) in the White House, where she so clearly belongs.

Clinton’s comments came on the heels of a preparatory smear-piece in The New York Times, What, Exactly, Is Tulsi Gabbard Up To?, which reported at length on how Gabbard has been “injecting chaos” into the Democratic primaries. Professional “disinformation experts” supplied The Times with convincing evidence (i.e., unfounded hearsay and innuendo) of “suspicious activity” surrounding Gabbard’s campaign. Former Clinton-aide Laura Rosenberger (who also just happens to be the Director of the Alliance for Securing Democracy, “a bipartisan transatlantic national security advocacy group” comprised of former Intelligence Community and U.S. State Department officials, and publisher of the Hamilton 68 dashboard) “sees Gabbard as a potentially useful vector for Russian efforts to sow division.”

The Times piece goes on to list an assortment of unsavory, extremist, white supremacist, horrible, neo-Nazi-type persons that Tulsi Gabbard has nothing to do with, but which Hillary Clinton, the Intelligence Community, The Times, and the rest of the corporate media would like you to mentally associate her with. Richard Spencer, David Duke, Steve Bannon, Mike Cernovich, Tucker Carlson, and so on. Neo-Nazi sites like the Daily Stormer. 4chan, where, according to The New York Times, neo-Nazis like to “call her Mommy.”

In keeping with professional journalistic ethics, The Times also reached out to experts on fascism, fascist terrorism, terrorist fascism, fascist-adjacent Assad-apologism, Hitlerism, horrorism, Russia, and so on, to confirm Gabbard’s guilt-by-association with the people The Times had just associated her with. Brian Levin, Director of the CSU Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, confirmed that Gabbard has “the seal of approval” within goose-stepping, Hitler-loving, neo-Nazi circles. The Alliance for Securing Democracy (yes, the one from the previous paragraph) conducted an “independent analysis” which confirmed that RT (“the Kremlin-backed news agency”) had mentioned Gabbard far more often than the Western corporate media (which isn’t backed by anyone, and is totally unbiased and independent, despite the fact that most of it is owned by a handful of powerful global corporations, and at least one CIA-affiliated oligarch). Oh, and Hawaii State Senator Kai Kahele, who is challenging Gabbard for her seat in Congress, agreed with The Times that Gabbard’s support from Jew-hating, racist Putin-Nazis might be a potential liability.

“Clearly there’s something about her and her policies that attracts and appeals to these type of people who are white nationalists, anti-Semites, and Holocaust deniers.”

But it’s not just The New York Times, of course. No sooner had Clinton finished cackling than the corporate media launched into their familiar Goebbelsian piano routine, banging out story after television segment repeating the words “Gabbard” and “Russian asset.” I’ve singled out The Times because the smear piece in question was clearly a warm-up for Hillary Clinton’s calculated smear job on Friday night. No, the old gal hasn’t lost her mind. She knew exactly what she was doing, as did the editors of The New York Times, as did every other establishment news source that breathlessly “reported” her neo-McCarthyite smears.

As I noted in my previous essay, 2020 is for all the marbles, and it’s not just about who wins the election. No, it’s mostly about crushing the “populist” backlash against the hegemony of global capitalism and its happy, smiley-faced, conformist ideology. To do that, the neoliberal establishment has to delegitimize, and lethally stigmatize, not just Trump, but also people like Gabbard, Bernie Sanders, Jeremy Corbyn … and any other popular political figure (left, right, it makes no difference) deviating from that ideology.

In Trump’s case, it’s his neo-nationalism. In Sanders and Corbyn’s, it’s socialism (or at least some semblance of social democracy). In Gabbard’s, it’s her opposition to the Corporatocracy’s ongoing efforts to restructure and privatize the Middle East (and the rest of the entire planet), and their using the U.S. military to do it.

Ask yourself, what do Trump, Sanders, Corbyn, and Gabbard have in common? No, it’s not their Putin-Nazism … it’s the challenge they represent to global capitalism. Each, in his or her own way, is a symbol of the growing populist resistance to the privatization and globalization of everything. And thus, they must be delegitimized, stigmatized, and relentlessly smeared as “Russian assets,” “anti-Semites,” “traitors,” “white supremacists,” “fascists,” “communists,” or some other type of “extremists.”

Gabbard, to her credit, understands this, and is focusing attention on the motives and tactics of the neoliberal establishment and their smear machine. As I noted in an essay last year, “the only way to effectively counter a smear campaign (whether large-scale or small-scale) is to resist the temptation to profess your innocence, and, instead, focus as much attention on the tactics and the motives of the smearers as possible.” This will not save her, but it is the best she can do, and I applaud her for having the guts to do it. I hope she continues to give them hell as they finish off her candidacy and drive her out of office.

Oh, and if you’re contemplating sending me an email explaining how these smear campaigns don’t work (or you spent the weekend laughing about how Hillary Clinton lost her mind and made an utter jackass of herself), maybe check in with Julian Assange, who is about to be extradited to America, tried for exposing U.S. war crimes, and then imprisoned for the remainder of his natural life. If you can’t get through to Julian at Belmarsh, you could ring up Katharine Viner at The Guardian, which has ruthlessly smeared Assange for years, and published outright lies about him, and is apparently doing very well financially.

And, if Katharine is on holiday in Antigua or somewhere, or having tea with Hillary in the rooftop bar of the Hay-Adams Hotel, you could try Luke Harding (who not only writes and publishes propaganda for The Guardian, but who wrote a whole New York Times best-seller based on nothing but lies and smears). Or try Marty Baron, Dean Baquet, Paul Krugman, or even Rachel Maddow, or any of the other editors and journalists who have been covering the Putin-Nazi “Attack on America,” and keeping us apprised of who is and isn’t a Hitler-loving “Russian asset.”

Ask them whether their smear machine is working … if you can get them off the phone with their brokers, or whoever is decorating their summer places in the Hamptons or out on Martha’s Vineyard.

Or ask the millions of well-off liberals who are still, even after Russiagate was exposed as an enormous hoax based on absolutely nothing, parroting this paranoid official narrative and calling people “Russian assets” on Twitter. Or never mind, just pay attention to what happens over the next twelve months. In terms of ridiculous official propaganda, spittle-flecked McCarthyite smears, and full-blown psychotic mass Putin-Nazi hysteria, it’s going to make the last three years look like the Propaganda Special Olympics.

    Since you mentioned the cretinous Luke Harding I must post his mental meltdown on the real news with Aron Mate. Skip to 27:00 mark for the action:

  2. Gabbard’s stock goes up among Democrat voters after she tells Clinton to pound sand. Hillary’s base has been reduced to Sadists and alcoholic lesbians.

    By the way. I have not been paying close attention lately. Have the Kurds been slaughtered yet?

  3. Yes, the “White Supremacist” David Duke endorsed Gabbard. Duke, who has for the last, God knows how many years, has spoken out against violence, and stated all races should be proud of their accomplishments. His real sin, of course, is exposing the role of organized Jewry in creating chaos in the Republic, pointing out that organized Jewry played an enormous role in the slave trade, and actually is manipulating Blacks to act against their own interests.
    Soon it will be revealed that Duke, who received his PhD in Ukraine and was obviously brainwashed during his time there, is yet another Russian asset attempting to interfere in the 2020 election. Trump, if he were not a Russian agent, would have asked Zelensky to investigate Duke.

    Actually, I think you’re missing something extremely crucial…

    Public attention is by far the most important thing for any candidate, especially a low-ranking one like Tulsi. Having Hillary and/or the MSM continue to attack her is absolutely the best thing that could possibly happen to her chances, and might boost her poll numbers enough to get her into the next debate.

    Things are even worse than this article suggests. Putin has even tapped his Communist Chinese allies to help Tulsi and she is currently being trained in mixed martial arts by Weili Zhang, the first Communist Chinese UFC champion.

    https://www.tmz.com/2019/10/21/tulsi-gabbard-weili-zhang-ufc-sparring-hawaii-training/

    This will enable her to be a James Bond style assassin of whoever ends up being the Democratic candidate in the event her third party does not catch on.

    The UFC, of course, is a Putin Nazi Communist Chinese front, and mixed martial arts are the only art allowed in Putin Trump Nazi America, just as was predicted by Hillary supporter Meryl Streep in the 2016 campaign. One UFC champion is a Putin Nazi Russian, one a Communist Chinese, one a Nazi from Hawaii (Tulsi Gabbard’s home state) and all the rest Nazis.

    I wonder… are the Democrats taking a play from the 2016 election and transforming it to work for themselves?

    Hillary demonizes her opponent with accusations of Russia-collusion, voters think she’s ridiculous, and then her opponent wins. It’s like she’s transforming herself into a straw-man, which Tulsi can easily respond to and therefore look GREAT doing it. Instead of a Republican receiving her ire and winning, now a Democrat is in position to do so.

    Playing a role requires at least some degree of basic intelligence and self-control. These are qualities which are largely not present among current US power “elites”. Russiagate, not to mention Epstein’s pedo saga, fully disclosed a pathetic intellectual (or rather lack thereof) level of these people, not to mention many of them being down right criminal perverts. In truth–it is down right embarrassing looking at the US today and especially its political class which increasingly reminds of the last seconds of headless chicken’s running.

That is not enough, especially when US media are literally a cesspool–most of them ignorant imbeciles together with most their “experts”. One Carlson Tucker (among prime media “influencers”) is not enough to stand against an utterly corrupt and well oiled propaganda machine. In fact, what can possibly one counter an imbecile with? Facts, knowledge, reasoning? Many of them do not even have a clue that they are morons. What do you expect from a whole media-political class which takes its views on serious geopolitical issues, including most important of them–military and conflict–from entertainment and Hollywood? This is not just me speaking, I essentially quoted General Robert Latiff of DARPA. How do you even communicate to those people that they are dangerous morons. Just recall this bimbo Megyn Kelly who was, for anyone with even residual intelligence, trolled and, in the end, humiliated by Putin during her (grossly “shrunk”) interview and other interruptions. Putin literally showed her a clueless clown–mind you, she is considered “top”. They have no self-awareness whatsoever.

    The Middle Zion Age – 1939-1963- WWII and mop up after to get Israel

    The Late Zion Age- 1963-2000s – WWIII to get Eretz Yisrael

    Hoping this Age ends soon. All Ages end after all.

  62. Good writing CJ. Tulsi is on fire right now. She may not win but its good to have her out there calling out the merchants of death as much as possible. Maybe Tulsi understands that this is how Trump won support, by calling out the uniparty establishment, not backing down, not being so PC. People are sick of the BS, she will gain lots of support if she keeps this up. CURSE the warmongers!

    Russiagate was exposed as an enormous hoax based on absolutely nothing,

    A total lie! Many well-regarded authors have written about the nefarious Russian Hacking. Try Craig Unger, author of House of Putin, House of Trump. While he focuses on the ties between trumpo and Russian jewish mafiosi, there’s corroboration of the Russian hacking. Also read Malcolm Nance.

  65. @Santurron

    Also read Malcolm Nance.

    LOL.

    Show us, don’t tell us.

    In the meantime, readers can consider the sources of [More] Praise for House of Trump, House of Putin

    “The story Unger weaves with those earlier accounts and his original reporting is fresh, illuminating and more alarming than the intelligence channel described in the Steele dossier.”— The Washington Post

    “Omarosa vs. Trump may be the political pro wrestling match of the week, but a more serious confrontation may be prompted by a book that came out Tuesday, alleging that President Donald Trump may be a Russian asset compromised by billions of laundered dollars over decades of shady real estate deals.”— Newsweek

    “Unger, a veteran journalist and author, takes the reader on a veritable tour of sleazy night clubs, restaurants and resorts frequented by Russian oligarchs and criminals in this book subtitled “The Untold Story of Donald Trump and the Russian Mafia.” Often, that tour leads to the doors of the White House and Trump Tower, and the implication is clear to even the most obtuse reader: Trump is in Putin’s pocket and those of the financiers who have grown immensely rich through their associations with the country’s putative dictator.”— Spectator USA

    “An impressive attempt to gather up all the evidence we have of Trump’s numerous connections to the Russian mafia and government and lay it all out in a clear, comprehensive narrative.” —Vox

    “A bombshell.” —Daily Mail (UK)

    “Damning in its accumulation of detail, terrifying in its depiction of the pure evil of those Trump chose to do business with.” —The Spectator (UK)

    “Unger’s contention is that a web of Trumpian connections to Russia explain the darkness at the heart of the Trump presidency. The crisp account of the rise of the Russian mafia and its expansion into the U.S. is chilling.” —Sunday Times (UK)

    Maybe Tulsi understands that this is how Trump won support

    In many respects Trump is a populist, and that’s how he won, and Tulsi is the definition of a populist, and it is why she will be attacked from every angle – heck even Joy Beher of The View called her a Russian tool.

    Like that scene in Orwell’s 1984 where the Party switches official enemies right in the middle of the Hate Week rally, the War on Terror was officially canceled and replaced by the War on Populism. Or … all right, it wasn’t quite that abrupt. But seriously, go back and scan the news. Note how the “Islamic terrorist threat” we had been conditioned to live in fear of on a daily basis since 2001 seemed to just vanish into thin air. Suddenly, the “existential threat” we were facing was “neo-nationalism,” “illiberalism,” or the pejorative designator du jour, “populism.”

    “Unger . . . takes the reader on a veritable tour of sleazy night clubs, restaurants and resorts frequented by Russian oligarchs and criminals in this book . . .”

    Synagogues? AIPAC meetings? ADL Headquarters or even one of ADL’s dozens of branches — does Unger take the read to any of those “sleazy” locales?

    See your LOL and would raise,

    but Malcolm Nance is a really bad joke.

  71. @Santurron

    The Russians made me vote for Trump. HA HA ha ha ha ha .

    Yes they did they called me up and made me watch their propaganda and convinced me to vote for Trump. They are very clever. Or maybe they hacked into our local voting machines and changed the votes to Trump. But Then again maybe they hacked into our local system and made the Africans and Mexicans and Moslems vote for Obama in 2008 and 2012 and then in 2016 they made them vote for Clinton. Very clever of those Russkies.

    No one would vote for a clown in Africa?
