ReplyDeleteWow, this is astoundingly hilarious. Former CIA director Hayden complaining about enlightenment values. Maybe he could start by explaining how the CIA funding of Taliban and Al Qaeda in Syria and the various regime overthrowing activities and fanning of sectarianism that the CIA has been involved in has upheld enlightenment values? The CIA complaining about post-truth when it is in exactly that business is mindboggling. Does nobody see the hypocrisy here?

ReplyDeleteTrump's frustration is often confused with an undermining of the institutions. There is a possibility that Trump is frustrated by the never-ending investigation when nothing is there. Lashing out on that basis is legitimate, and it is incorrectly confused for culpability by the other party.
And, needless to say there are many other foreign actors influencing politics in the US much more than Russian actors. Gulf money for example. Clinton Foundation for example. There is a lot that needs to be investigated which has been not. These are all legitimate concerns. All this Russia business is simply geo-political kabuki theater with a recent spike in actions due to the Saudi king's recent visits to the West. He wants his revenge for the Syrian humiliation and will likely get it. Funnily no one is going to look at Saudi collusion with politicians, think tanks and so on.
The DNC email dump has shown corruption in the DNC and the DNC responds with Russia hysteria to deflect. One needs to see through this strategy. The DNC will stand up for illegal immigrants due to vote bank politics. Where is the "sense of justice" in that?
Fun times.

ReplyDeleteArticles like these make me chuckle. It is precisely why the Trump election was a giant favor to the world. If Hillary was elected, you think people would be after Facebook and Cambridge Analytica in the way they are now? It is more likely that it would have been brushed off. In fact we might have seen another gushing article like the ones here coz I'm pretty sure Hillary used Obama's big data strategy too:

It is a huge benefit to the world to have flipped from the establishment to an outsider, no matter how revolting that outsider might be. Because now Silicon Valley is being made to face its demons. When the same instruments of power that the left loved are now in the hands of the other side they have to reflect on what they have done. This is policy 101 and, this is why policy by Bono is a bad idea, because having noble intentions isn't enough...
