WASHINGTON, DC — It shows that the neo-McCarthyism of the mainstream media knows no bounds.
Rand Paul is being accused of being a Russian agent.
He has in the past called for the de-militarization of police, stating: “the images and scenes we continue to see in Ferguson resemble war more than traditional police action.”
More recently he has made headlines for opposing the Republican “health” care bill that is about to be introduced.
If passed the bill will benefit pharmaceutical and insurance companies more than the average American.
Rand Paul is the son of former presidential candidate Ron Paul, and is said to be working with President Trump behind the scenes to attack the agendas of the official republican party.
Now a neoconservative politician named John McCain has accused Rand Paul of working for Putin.
It is a strange time indeed when the so-called liberal media and neocons both use the same talking points to inflict another red scare on Americans.
It is not unlike what they did in the 90s when they suggested that any anti-establishment speech was “terrorism.”
The accusation occurred while Rand Paul was arguing against the idea of expanding NATO power.
A measure calling for Montenegro to join NATO would mean an increased probability of war for profit and empire.
John McCain was upset that Rand Paul opposed it, saying “You are achieving the objectives of Vladimir Putin… trying to dismember this small country which has already been the subject an attempted coup.”
Of those who object to this particular expansion of NATO, John McCain said “they are now carrying out the desires and ambitions of Vladimir Putin and I do not say that lightly.”
It illustrates once again that the charge of “working for the Russians” is a top-down talking point, planned months in advance in the Clinton emails released by wikileaks, and is being used to discredit anyone who does not align with the goals of the establishment.
The mainstream media has repeatedly forced the idea of a Russian conspiracy into the consciousness of its viewers, creating the illusion for its viewers that they are part of an epic resistance against Vladimir Putin.
What is actually happening is that people who have ideas that don’t align with the State — such as de-militarizing police — are being branded as Russians as a propaganda technique to discredit anything they say.
The only rational response to John McCain and the media is, of course, идти ебать себя.
