Interfering in another nation's political discussions?
First....context:
1. In 1953, President Eisenhower established the United States Information Agency. The USIA's mission was "to understand, inform and influence foreign publics in promotion of the national interest, and to broaden the dialogue between Americans and U.S. institutions, and their counterparts abroad."
To understand how serious the program was, the United States Information Agency was the largest full-service public relations organization in the world, spending over $2 billion per year to highlight America’s view, while diminishing the Soviet’s side through about 150 different countries.
The aim was to advocate U.S. policies in foreign nations.
So....how to characterize this endeavor? Illegal? Necessary? As Diplomacy? Propaganda? Business as usual?
All of the above.
Now....why all the news and 'fake news' about Russia doing exactly the same thing???
2. The Democrat's intend to persuade the gullible that Russia made Trump's victory probable via ...."hacking".....yet the intelligence agencies clearly state that no votes were changed, no voting machines co-opted.
Fact is....Bill's wife did better than after the 'leaks' than was predicted for her prior to same.
Not only did Americans vote without any interference....no one claims otherwise.....but millions of illegal aliens also got to vote based on Barack Obama doing exactly what is being claimed that Russia did.
Democrat simpletons have mastered the ability to accept what their masters tell them to.
3. Although the emphasis is being placed on 'foreign misinformation,' arguably more 'misinformation' comes from another foreign source, the Left's house-organ, the Mexican paper, the NYTimes, and nary a complaint.
And, if the Left is serious about 'foreign misinformation,' where are the complaints about Al Jazeera, which is available to any who have cable TV???
4. But, 'how dare Trump cast aspersions on the intelligence community???"
What???? It is clear that many high up in that 'community' have manipulated the truth solely in the interests of the party in power.
Here it is from the NYTimes itself:
"Analysts Detail Claims That Reports on ISIS Were Distorted
...intelligence analysts have provided investigators with documents they say show that senior military officers manipulated the conclusions of reports on the war against the Islamic State... falsification, distortion, delay, suppression or improper modification of intelligence information,”.... senior intelligence officers are flipping everything on its head,” ....

James Clapper is documented to have put pressure on the 'community ' to have them say whatever the snake, Obama, wanted them to say.
Isn't this entire farce merely designed to de- legitimatize the new administration....and to make in more difficult for same to work with the other nation that Obama is suddenly less 'flexible' with???
