Before the self designated truth monitor and liberals attack let me state this is only an opinion piece shared for its entertainment value.

If that isn't clear enough I guess they can hide in their safe spaces from fear of my 1st amendment rights foolishly thinking I might abuse my 2nd, the 4th of which they might hope to violate as a result causing me to employ my 5th.

Thanks to my fellow brothers/sisters in arms I can still consider these most precious rights available to employ if ever needed!

Russia’s March to War

Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D. | Monday, October 17, 2016 at 7:30 am

The first time Elisabeth and I visited Russia, we stayed with dear friends in a Soviet-era apartment of St. Petersburgh.

We waited patiently in long lines like everyone else.

And everywhere we went, we thoroughly enjoyed the warm hospitality of a country still mostly enamored with everything American.

But on our most recent visit, all that had changed dramatically.

While strolling along a southern city’s beautiful embankment of the Volga River, one friend asked me, her voice cracking with emotion:

“Why do Americans hate Russians so much?

“Why in the world is Obama providing arms directly to ISIS?

My rudimentary Russian was good enough to understand the questions. But no language seemed good enough to provide simple answers, except to say “it’s not true.”

From there, we went to Zheleznovodsk, a cluster of mineral water spas in the Caucasus Mountains.

Thankfully, everyone abided by the golden rule that health — not politics — was the main topic worthy of discussion.

In the Caucasus of Russia. Countryside beautiful. People very friendly. But any talk of U.S.-Russia relations potentially unpleasant in the extreme.

But there was one exception. Our massage therapist always had his radio tuned to talk shows with nonstop rants on “America’s evil plots to bring Russia down.”

As I soon learned, he didn’t have much choice. All Russian news sources blast out similar “information and analysis” almost around the clock.

It is the most pervasive propaganda machine I have ever studied or experienced in my lifetime.

It engulfs government media, “independent” media and social media. It deploys tens of thousands of individuals who provide personal “testimonials” designed to shock and awe, invoking deep feelings of pity or hatred. It’s in multiple languages, including English. It employs “prominent Western analysts” to tout the same theories and support them with a tirade of stats and “facts.”

It is extremely effective. And it’s downright dangerous. The narrative:

1. Obama is leading a global conspiracy to destroy Russia.

2. Clinton will do exactly the same, or worse.

3. Unless Trump wins, Russia and the United States are headed for war.

Hard to believe they truly see the world this way? Then consider last week’s comments from Russian lawmaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky:

“Americans voting for a president on November 8 must realize that they are voting for peace on Planet Earth if they vote for Trump. But if they vote for Hillary, it’s war. It will be a short movie. There will be Hiroshimas and Nagasakis everywhere.”

Zhirinovsky himself is not considered a particularly believable source in Russia. But thanks to round-the-clock messaging by the media, the anti-Clinton sentiment is almost universal.

All this raises urgent questions for investors: How did U.S.-Russia relations deteriorate so far, so fast? What will be the impact on the global economy and markets? Is war with Russia truly likely?

Putin's people certainly are working hard to fool as many people as they can, into believing that Russia should decide who our next President should be.

Putin has been playing bluff and bluster for a VERY long time now, and continues unabated.

At least the last 8 years anyway with the Red Line Kid in office

I dunno, he looks pretty scary..

I voting for Ross Perot!!

You only remember that period as being different because either you weren't paying attention, or because you believe Putin's propaganda. He's been doing all the same things since he came into office.

That's the smartest thing I read in a while

Many dates many how......no question no loyals.......that's what I had defines......when the innocents finally seen the truth then they're no more terrorist it self should call the liberal...... Don't tell me those monopoly knews anything......because there will be no more how how to em if they want to set foot in........

Simple rewrite and you'd think Russian propaganda was also responsible for a lot of right wing? Libertarian? Conservative? media too.

1. Obama (or oblowme, or obonzo, or muslim in chief) is leading a global conspiracy to destroy the U.S.

2. Clinton will do exactly the same, or worse, than Obama.

3. If/unless (depending on whose perspective) Trump wins the United States will go to war with itself in a race war.

Or maybe the Russian propaganda machine just stole the ideas from the far right.
Instead of making America the victim, insert "Russia," and bob's your uncle.


That's right!
How dare a foreign country try and dictate a sovereign nations leadership! No one else ever has!

Next thing you know Russians will be arming and training militia rebels and setting up bases all throughout Montana and Wyoming to secure peace in the region, having nothing to do with oil, maybe invade South Dakota and the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site from intel it bought a gluten enriched yellow cake from a south African working at Wal-Mart, and therefore has to depose the governor due to a preemptive defense strategy.

And then hopefully Putin won't come to the U.S. and threaten that if it withdraws from NAFTA that it's going to the back of the line for trade or something like that.

Hopefully I didn't give anyone new ideas that no other country has ever ever ever ever done before or even thought about. Oh no!

Behold.......the true son/doughter of the importro have come.......do not question about our judgement ......because you shall kneel........kneel.......before the outportro's son or whatever have come..........
Haliluya~haliluya......haliluya.........
