When you
recruit one of the most famous Hollywood actors to attack Russia
through a sloppy and obsolete type of propaganda, it shows - above
all - that you are desperate to provoke a conflict.
Despite zero
evidence about the alleged 'Russian intervention' (whatever that
means) in the latest US elections, the US sinister syndicate of
for-profit-wars continues to cultivate a Cold War 2.0 climate with
the ultimate target to drag Russia into a warm conflict.
In a
desperate effort to persuade the US public opinion about the 'Russian
intervention', this evil syndicate created the known
video with Morgan Freeman to make Americans
believe that Russia is a real threat. We don't know where to start:
from the Cold War language very similar to the McCarthyism era? from
the fairytale-style narrative as if it has been made for 10-year old
kids? from the fact that the creators of the video apparently believe
that they have to face a totally naive audience? or, maybe, from the
laughable conclusion that "for 241 years" the US
democracy "has been a shining example to the world of what we
can all aspire to"?
As Max
Blumenthal says, speaking to The
Real News:
It's sad for
Morgan Freeman, and I think whatever you think about Russia, you can
agree with me that this is probably his worst role since Driving Miss
Daisy. Now he's driving, basically, the PNAC train, Project for a New
American Century, driving the neocons. This is highly unusual for me,
maybe I'm wrong here, to hear a black American say that America has
been a shining example of democracy for 241 years. It sounds like
something a neocon would write in a script and put for Morgan Freeman
in a teleprompter. 200 years ago, or longer, he would have been
scrubbing Thomas Jefferson's chamberpot, so this is just deeply
disturbing American exceptionalism.
Beyond that,
Morgan Freeman has basically been brought into this by Rob Reiner,
who's been brought in by a cast of neocons, not just unindicted Iraq
War criminal David Frum, who crafted the axis of evil phrase, which
has helped spread instability and death around the world, but Max
Boot, the neoconservative pundit and self-styled historian who's
never met a war he didn't like.
We also have
James Clapper, the former Director of National Intelligence and NSA
director affiliated with this group, the Committee to Investigate
Russia. Max Boot is a fellow at the Institute for the Study of War,
which is run by Kimberly Kagan, who's part of the neoconservative
Kagan dynasty.
The
Institute for the Study of War is funded primarily by the arms
industry and surveillance industry, and their job is basically to gin
up wars and consult for generals, and make a windfall profit in the
process.
They are
attempting to manufacture a catalyzing event through the narrative of
Trump-Russia collusion in order to ramp up hostilities with Russia,
not just in Russia's near abroad in Ukraine, but also in Syria and
across the world. This is an incredibly dangerous prospect.
No further
investigation needed. Again, this video shows one thing: the degree
of determination of the US neocon/neoliberal establishment to drag
Russia to war.
