As I am typing this NPR has on the Russian with an American accent Vladimir Posner. He's saying he doesn't think Putin's regime screwing with American elections is a big deal and is implying it was an off the cuff thing because Putin was beefin' with Hillary Clinton for comparing him with Hitler and he is implying that, it's not something Americans should be upset about, saying he doubts that Putin knows, himself, if he's going to try ratfucking our election next year, yet.
On a network that regularly goes through the motions with useless establishment talking heads, I don't think I've heard a more transparently lying and useless interview. Why anyone would expect more from Posner who has been turning like a weather vane on American media since the days of Perestroika, changing with the winds of Russian politics, I don't know.
One of the things he did point out, which is true, is that the American government has ratfucked elections in other places, which is a fair point to make. But that's certainly not going to improve under the kind of governments we get with billionaire ratfucking of our elections. There is an off chance that a government of, by, and for the American People might, out of the vestiges of a sense of fairness among the common People, think that People in other places should decide who is going to govern them. Republican-fascists are bent on that never happening here so why would they be less likely to interfere in government of, by and for their own People elsewhere.
Posner's cynicism would seem to be typical of Russian culture, certainly understandable in a People whose culture and soul has been so damaged under the Czars, the Communists who were no less than the worst kind of Czars and the Communists who went seemlessly from Marxism to outright gangsterism. I'd really hate for the American soul to be corrupted similarly and for so many generations of entrenchment. That is the fondest hopes of the likes of the Murdochs, the Mercers, the Kochs and the Repubican-fascist establishment.
I have always, from the start of the exposure of Putin's rigging of the election, pointed out that that corruption of the American Constitutional system was a product of the Supreme Court thwarting the attempts by the elected government to clean corruption out of our politics. They opened up the American electoral system to the corruption of, first, domestic millionaires and billionaires and, then, foreign billionaires. The corruption of our system is a direct product of the least democratic branch of our government, the Courts, as staffed by the product of those same elite law schools where the theory of unitary executive fascism incubated.
