Neocon Senator Considers RT a Foreign Agent

by Stephen Lendman

Russophobia in America is rampant. A CNN propaganda documentary shamelessly lied, saying Vladimir Putin governs “unconstrained by other institutions, parties and political forces.”

Russian democracy is real, America’s is fake. Each wing of its one-party extremist rule takes turns assuming power. Elections are farcical when held. Voters have no say whatever.

CNN claiming Putin “is not foolish enough to make a frontal assault on America and Europe” despicably maligns a world-class peacemaker.

If all nations were governed like Russia, endless imperial wars wouldn’t be waged. Countries would cooperate with each other, benefitting everyone. The world would be safe from possible nuclear annihilation.

America vilifies Russia, China, and other sovereign independent countries for standing in the way of its quest for unchallenged global dominance, imperial wars waged to achieve it, potential nuclear confrontation a major threat to humanity.

Washington bashes anything connected to Russia, including its media, notably RT for giving viewers real news, information and analysis, polar opposite Western media rubbish.

Neocon Senator Jeanne Shaheen wants RT America investigated for potentially violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, saying:

“We have good reason to believe that RT News is coordinating with the Russian government to spread misinformation and undermine our democratic process.”

“The American public has a right to know if this is the case. RT News has made public statements boasting that it can dodge our laws with shell corporations, and it’s time for the Department of Justice to investigate.”

“My bill provides the authority needed to request documentation of RT News and find out who they’re accountable to.”

Fact: RT is accountable to truth-telling, to its viewers. It’s a news and information broadcaster, not a foreign agent. It doesn’t dodge US laws, or those of any other country.

Fact: Investigating it, if authorized, may ultimately aim for shutting down its US operation, followed by RT International - online and on cable channels.

Shaheen introduced the Senate Foreign Agents Registration Modernization and Enforcement Act. If passed by both houses and enacted into law, the Justice Department could conduct endless harassing, witch-hunt investigations into RT’s legitimate operations.

It’s state-funded. So are the BBC, CBC, France 24, Germany’s Deutsche Welle, and America’s Public Broadcasting and National Public Radio - besides its global broadcasting through the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, Radio and TV Marti, and Middle East Broadcasting Networks (Radio Sawa and Alhurra Television).

Global US-funded propaganda broadcasts in 59 languages, reaching millions worldwide via radio, television, the Internet and other media.

America’s Broadcasting Board of Governors says its principles are “consistent with the broad foreign policy objectives of the United States, and the capability to provide a surge capacity to support United States foreign policy objectives during crises abroad.”

Followers of my writing need no explanation of America’s “foreign policy objectives.” Nor is their ambiguity about who’s responsible for “crises abroad.”

RT’s editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan blasted Shaheen, saying, maybe lunatics infesting Washington will “start shooting our journalists…Greetings to Senator McCarthy from Senator Shaheen.”

Vladimir Putin ... A CNN propaganda documentary ... Russophobia in America is rampant.

Vladimir Putin is subject to relentless media scrutiny. Most recently CNN showed its special called ‘The Most Powerful Man in the World’.

Things aren't so rosy in Moscow either.

There is much truth though in how the neocon globalist resent Putin (and Russians) from not bowing down to the great god of globalism.

Most (99%) do not see this as a spiritual struggle for the control of the world, which is how I see it.

Go to Moscow now and start promoting communism in the streets or the bars and you had better be a part of a big crowd and have police protection. It ain't been that long since they overthrew it,and they still haven't forgotten what it's like to live with the reality of it,never mind what it promises.

Nobody appreciates freedom as much as a recently released prisoner.

A good comment from another site:

Today is the 100th anniversary of the abdication of the Czar, whose imperial tri-color once again flies over the Kremlin instead of the Hammer and Sickle. This is what this whole "Russia" business is all about. The people criticizing Russia today were the same group who cackled with glee when word of the Imperial Family's murder reached our shores. Rand needs to clarify this whole Russian Business for what it is - a proxy war between those who want to destroy Christianity and the West and those working to save it.

Word

I think I lifted this here yesterday when mCain called Rand a Putin puppet on the Senate floor... ahaha
