The possibility of the world’s dominant nuclear powers clashing militarily should terrify everyone. Nuclear armageddon could follow. Permanent wars reflect longstanding US policy. The Russian Federation never attacked another nation, fostering world peace and stability instead, threatening no other countries, despite Big Lies claiming otherwise. Russia’s ambassador to Washington, Sergey Kislyak, is a distinguished diplomat, not an intelligence agent. He joined the Soviet Foreign Affairs Ministry in 1977, serving in many positions - most recently as Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister from 2003 - 2008, since then as envoy to America. Yet CNN outrageously called him “one of Russia’s top spies and spy-recruiters in Washington” - a disgraceful fake news accusation, related to its coverage of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, having spoken to Kislyak one or more times while serving on the Senate Armed Services Committee. CNN’s alleged sources: the usual unnamed US officials, past and present, reporting no evidence, the aim part of a diabolical anti-Russia, anti-Trump plot. The stakes are huge. If officials close to him are eliminated, he’ll be too weak to govern effectively, perhaps more vulnerable to impeachment and removal from office than already. If he goes, the last vestiges of a free society will go with him, coup d’etat dictatorship replacing him. If Russia bashing passes a threshold of no return, war between the world’s dominant nuclear powers could follow. Most Americans are mindless about what’s going on, manipulated by relentless fake news, failing to distinguish between fact and fiction. Most oppose Trump, according to polls. Most nonsensically believe Russia threatens America. The notion is pounded into the public mind constantly, in NYT and other broadsheet feature stories, round-the-clock on cable television. Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov blasted accusations about Kislyak, saying “(y)ou and I have not heard a single statement by the US special services about our ambassador” - just “bogus media speculations that keep fanning tensions,” adding: “The only piece of advice that I can give is that in a situation like this, avoid reacting to all such anonymous, baseless fake news stories and rely only on official statements by genuine officials.” If Americans don’t awaken to the clear and present dangers they face and resist, the price for their indifference will be full-blown tyranny - perhaps nuclear war to follow, the ultimate nightmare.
