Silence on United States Meddling Abroad by Jacob G. Hornberger

Among the most fascinating aspects of the brouhaha over supposed Russian meddling in Americas electoral system is the total silence in the United States mainstream press about the United States meddling in the political affairs of other countries.

Consider the mass outrage and indignation among the mainstream press that Russia would actually want to help a United States presidential candidate who favors normalizing relations with Russia over a candidate that was determined to do the opposite.

Why not the same outrage against the United States national-security establishment for helping its favorite people come to office in foreign countries?

By their silence regarding United States meddling in foreign countries, one could easily draw the conclusion that the United States mainstream press is saying the following:

It is wrong for Russia to meddle in the United States electoral system but it’s okay for the United States national-security establishment (i.e., the military, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency) to meddle in the electoral affairs of foreign countries.

But if that is their position - and it certainly seems like that is their position based on their silence - then why do they not explain it??

Why is it considered okay for the United States national-security establishment to meddle but not okay for the Russian national-security establishment to meddle??

Or to put it another way, if it is wrong in principle to meddle, then why is the United States government doing it, and why is the United States mainstream press not condemning both United States meddling and Russia meddling??

After all, even if Russian officials actually did do what they are accused of doing, it actually pales in comparison to what United States officials do when they meddle in foreign countries.

After all, what is a few Facebook ads and hacking into email accounts compared to murder, kidnapping, bribery, sanctions, embargoes, and coups??

In the 1970s, the United States government meddled in the Chilean presidential election, with bribery, kidnapping, murder, and a coup. Trying to prevent the democratically elected president, Salvador Allende, from taking office, the United States Central Intelligence Agency attempted to bribe Chilean congressmen from confirming Allende as president.

But that was nothing compared to what happened after that. The Central Intelligence Agency conspired to kidnap the commanding general of the Chilean armed forces. The reason??

Gen. Rene Schneider refused to go along with the military coup that United States officials were demanding. Schneider was actually shot dead during the kidnapping attempt.

How is that compared to some Facebook ads and email hacking???

Whether you call the kidnapping-murder of Rene Schneider "collusion" or "conspiracy," there is no doubt that the plot originated in Washington and Virginia.

There is no statue of limitations when it comes to felony-murder and conspiracy to commit felony-murder. Why not call for an official investigation to determine whether anyone involved in that collusion-conspiracy is still alive and should be brought to justice?? Why the silence on the Schneider kidnapping-murder??

Once United States national-security state officials removed Schneider as an obstacle, that paved the way for the United States military coup, which brought United States-favored Gen. Augusto Pinochet to power, along with the rapes, torture, abuse, incarceration, disappearances, or executions of tens of thousands of innocent people, including two Americans, Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi.

Why not criminally prosecute anyone who is still alive and who was involved in the collusion-conspiracy??

For that matter, let us not forget the United States national-security establishments intentional destruction of the democratic systems in Guatemala and Iran in the 1950s.

For those who say that all that is ancient history, how about the United States invasion of Iraq in 2003, the one based on bogus fears of Weapons of Mass Destruction by United States officials??

Or the United States regime-change operations in Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan, which have left countless dead and their entire countries devastated??

It is hard to get better examples of meddling in the political affairs of other countries than those.

Or how about the United States national-security establishments anti-democratic coup in Ukraine, which, along with NATO expansion into Eastern Europe, is the root of the Ukraine-Russia-United States crisis??

Why are those United States meddlers not being charged with criminal meddling and conspiracy to criminally meddle??

For that matter, how about the decades-old United States embargo against Cuba, whose aim has always been regime change.

The same, of course, applies to the United States sanctions against Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and, of course, Russia.

Why not investigate and prosecute those meddlers???

The United States media helps to remind us of an old principle: When one points his finger at someone in an accusatory way, oftentimes there are three fingers pointing back at the accuser and his silence.
