Right Wing Propaganda is, well, Infantile

After watching the loss of labour in the UK's general election, substantiated my view on the power of relentless political smears, whether true or not, against one's opponent. The leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, was accused of being a Russian asset, right after announcing the leaked paper's of the Tory government colluding with the US government to do away with the NHS, and mover Britain's medical system towards the disastrous American model. Most of Fleet Street retaliated, not with the incredible disaster of destroying the NHS, but that the leaked proved that Jeremy Corbyn was a tool of Russian meddling with the elections. This, of, course, follows the US playbook, of blaming Russia for any counter issue against the establishment. The second smear campaign against Corbyn, was that he and his Labour party are antisemitic. Despite there being zero evidence of Russia collusion and antisemitism in the Party, the press continued this smear campaign, forcing the less politically informed, to move to the Right. The Tory win was not due entirely to this unrelenting smear of lies against labour, but it certainly was a major contributing factor.

In the US, now, following this apparently successful smear campaign of antisemitism against Jeremy Corbyn, certain right wing pundits in the United States has began their own antisemitic smear against Bernie Sanders. These accusations on any level is absurd. Sanders' parents escaped the attempted genocide of the Jewish people from the Nazis, to the US, as many Jews had. Our family, on my father's side, escaped to Australia under the same circumstances. To call me antisemitic is a lie and a disgusting accusation, that in any other time, I'd ignore. But it seems we are in a different political climate. So, we must oppose these smears head on, because learning the lessons of WWII, to ignore them, is to court disaster.

One can read my BLOG back in early 2018, to see that I believed the Russia meddling in the 2016 general presidential election, was a massive smear campaign against Trump. Please, don't get me wrong, I believe Trump is a liar and a tool of the Military Industrial Complex. Though I knew then, as I know now, this blaming Russia for the HRC defeat in 2016, had a two pronged purpose. One, to justify HRC's defeat and, two, to ramp up tensions with Russia, to justify a future war.

The right wing US democratic party has nothing to give the American people. That's why the conservatives only focus on Trump's bozo twitter feed, (impeachment) and not, more importantly, his massive movement of wealth to the 1%, and the ridiculous swell of funds for the military budget. The GOP and the corporate democrats, bribed by corporations, have nothing to offer the common working man. All they have is empty rhetoric, and “issues” of a cultural nature, such as Christmas, LBGTQ suppression, and the hate of so-called non religious citizens of the Empire.

When the establishment has nothing to offer the majority of working people, such as health care, free education, pulling our troops from illegal wars, fixing a deeply corrupt justice and prison system, all they can do is smear, lie, and spread ridiculous excuses for war, by calling you a socialist or an antisemite. It's absurd.

Aside from the obvious in Britain last week in the general election, calling Labour Russian assets and antisemitic, when HRC called Jill Stein and Tulsi Gabbard, Russian assets, I knew these establishment, war- loving- corporate shills had nothing to argue, but lies and personal smears.

The real problem is that people believe this rubbish, because it comes from authoritative sources, like the corporate MSM. People are certainly waking up to this absurdity, but not fast enough.
