Americas Soup-Brained President Says The United States Never Interferes In Other Countries Elections by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article:

During an astonishingly sycophantic press conference after the Geneva summit with Vladimir Putin, President Biden posited an entirely hypothetical scenario about what the world would think of the United States if it were interfering in foreign elections and everybody knew it.

When APs Jonathan Lemire asked the president of the most powerful government in the world what "consequences" he had threatened the Russian leader with should the Kremlin interfere in United States elections going forward, President Biden meandered his way through one of his signature not-quite-lucid word salads, and then said the following:

"Let us get this straight: How would it be if the United States were viewed by the rest of the world as interfering with the elections directly of other countries, and everybody knew it? What would it be like if we engaged in activities that he is engaged in? It diminishes the standing of a country that is desperately trying to make sure it maintains its standing as a major world power."

The fact that the entire press corps did not erupt in side-splitting laughter at this ridiculous utterance is in itself proof that western news media is pure propaganda.

The United States has directly interfered in scores of foreign elections since it began its ascent to global domination at the end of the second World War, to say nothing of all the coups, color revolutions, proxy conflicts and regime change military invasions it has also participated in during that time.

The United States openly interfered in Russias elections in the nineties, and literally just tried to stage a coup in Bolivia by interfering in its democratic process.

The United States is far and away the single most egregious offender in the world on this front, which is largely why it is perceived around the world as a greater threat to democracy than any other government.

This is not a secret, internationally or in the United States.

Anyone who has done any learning about the United States governments actual behavior on the world stage knows this. Hell, a former Central Intelligence Agency director openly joked about it on Fox News a few years ago.

Foxs Laura Ingraham unsurprisingly introduced former Central Intelligence Agency Director James Woolsey as "an old friend" in a 2018 interview about Special Prosecutor Robert Muellers indictment of 13 alleged members of a Russian troll farm, in which Mr. Woolsey unsurprisingly talked about how dangerous Russian "disinformation" is and Ms Ingraham unsurprisingly said that everyone should actually be afraid of China. What was a bit surprising, though, was what happened at the end of the interview.

"Have we ever tried to meddle in other countries elections?" Ms Ingraham asked in response to Mr. Woolseys Russia remarks.

"Oh, probably," Mr. Woolsey said with a grin. "But it was for the good of the system in order to avoid the communists from taking over. For example, in Europe, in 1947, 1948, 1949, the Greeks and the Italians we CIA-"

"We do not do that anymore though?" Ms Ingraham interrupted. "We do not mess around in other peoples elections, Jim?"

Mr. Woolsey smiled and said said "Well..", followed by a joking incoherent mumble, adding, "Only for a very good cause."

And then they both laughed.

The fact that not one person in the press pool questioned or criticized President Bidens outrageous remarks tells you everything you need to know about the western media and what its real function is.

This is further illustrated by the rest of the behavior of these odious propagandists during the summit, which was illustrated quite well by the glowing praise of Democratic Party insider Andrea Chalupa on Twitter:

"The winners of #GenevaSummit2021 are the White House press corp," Ms Chalupa said. "Excellent questions confronting Putin and challenging Biden on holding a summit with a ruthless dictator. And they literally held their ground when shoved by Mr. Putins security and propagandists."

That actually says it all.

Western reporters are forbidden by their oligarchic owners from ever confronting power in any meaningful way; the closest they are ever allowed to get to punching up is challenging the leaders of Central Intelligence Agency-targeted governments, and demanding to know why their own officials are not being more hawkish and aggressive toward those leaders.

As RTs Murad Gazdiev pointed out, "ABC, NBC, BBC, CNN, and many other Western outlets were invited for President Putins press conference.

No Russian media was invited to President Bidens press conference." The whole thing was a navel-gazing, masturbatory cold war propaganda orgy where western "journalists" made up fantasies about their soup-brained leader staring down President Putin, where they yelled nonsense about Alexei Navalny at the Russian president and then fangirled at President Bidens response.

Can anyone imagine a United States corporate journalist screaming at President Biden: "Why do you fear Julian Assange so much?"

Always easy to condemn the acts of the governments your country tells you to see as Enemy. Much harder - and way more meaningful - to challenge your own governments repression. -Glenn Greenwald (ggreenwald) June 16, 2021

Real journalists go to Belmarsh Prison for exposing United States war crimes. Western propagandists ask President Putin why he is such a doodoo dumb dumb poopy head and then dream about Pulitzers all night.

Western news media exists to funnel propaganda into the minds of the public.

It is controlled by plutocrats who work in alliance with opaque government agencies to weave narratives about why the United States government needs to do the things it had already planned on doing anyway.

This gets more obvious by the day.
