BBC: Rusland 'misbruikt humor' om Russiagate te ontkrachten..... ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!

Caitlin Johnstone publiceerde gisteren een artikel met de titel 'Don't Laugh: It's giving Putin What He Wants'.

In haar artikel schenkt Johnstone aandacht aan wat Olga Robinson van het Britse propaganda apparaat BBC heeft gesteld: Rusland gebruikt (ze bedoelt: misbruikt) humor om wat westerse regeringen haar ten laste leggen, te ridiculiseren >> ofwel humor om de ten laste leggingen die zijn gemaakt in het Russiagate sprookje...... Robinson noemt dit een vorm van 'trolling...' ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! (het zal haar bedoeling niet zijn, maar de leugens van Robinson en die van de BBC in het algemeen, zijn regelmatig uiterst humoristisch, zoals deze stompzinnige insinuatie!)

In feite beschuldigt Robinson Rusland van het gebruiken van humor tegen de enorme berg aan leugens over zaken als Russiagate, het Brexit referendum en het onafhankelijkheidsreferendum van de Catalanen, waarin Rusland 'met haar manipulaties' de beslissende factor was, die tot de gewenste winst leidde...... Ofwel Rusland heeft Trump het presidentschap gegeven en heeft de boel zo gemanipuleerd dat de voorstanders van de Brexit het referendum wonnen en het Catalaanse referendum positief uitviel voor de onafhankelijkheidswens van de bevolking in die 'Spaanse provincie'.

Robinson heeft het gore lef e.e.a. te stellen terwijl er voor al deze zaken niet één steekhoudend bewijs is gevonden en dat na 2 jaar lang Rusland demoniseren door o.a. de BBC en de rest van de westerse reguliere media in het groot (uiteraard gesteund door het grootste deel van de westerse politici die de leugens keer op keer blijven herhalen.....)

Inderdaad Robinson als je in acht neemt wat jij en de BBC al hebben durven zeggen en schrijven over Russiagate, kan je veelal niet anders dan lachen, keihard lachen!!!

Don’t Laugh : It’s Giving Putin What He Wants

by Caitlin Johnstone

The BBC has published an article titled "How Putin's Russia turned humour into a weapon" about the Kremlin's latest addition to its horrifying deadly hybrid warfare arsenal: comedy.

The article is authored by Olga Robinson, whom the BBC, unhindered by any trace of self-awareness, has titled "Senior Journalist (Disinformation)". Robinson demonstrates the qualifications and acumen which earned her that title by warning the BBC's audience that the Kremlin has been using humor to dismiss and ridicule accusations that have been leveled against it by western governments, a "form of trolling" that she reports is designed to "deliberately lower the level of discussion".

How Putin's Russia turned humour into a weapon

Russia's government wants people to have a laugh - as long as it's at its opponents' expense, and not Mr Putin's.

bbc.co.uk

"Russia's move towards using humour to influence its campaigns is a relatively recent phenomenon," Robinson explains, without speculating as to why Russians might have suddenly begun laughing at their western accusers. She gives no consideration to the possibility that the tightly knit alliance of western nations who suddenly began hysterically shrieking about Russia two years ago have simply gotten much more ridiculous and easier to make fun of during that time.

Couldn't possibly have anything to do with the emergence of a demented media environment wherein everything around the world from French protests to American culture wars to British discontent with the European Union gets blamed on Russia without any facts or evidence. Wherein BBC reporters now correct guests and caution themagainst voicing skepticism of anti-Russia narratives because the UK is in "an information war" with that nation. Wherein the same cable news Russiagate pundit can claim that both Rex Tillerson's hiring and his later firing were the result of a Russian conspiracy to benefit the Kremlin. Wherein mainstream outlets can circulate blatantly false information about Julian Assange and unnamed "Russians" and then blame the falseness of that reporting on Russian disinformation.

Wherein Pokemon Go, cutesy Facebook memes and $4,700 in Google ads are sincerely cited as methods by which Hillary Clinton's $1.2 billion presidential campaign was outdone. Wherein conspiracy theories that Putin has infiltrated the highest levels of the US government have been blaring on mainstream headline newsfor two years with absolutely nothing to show for it to this day.

Nope, the only possibility is that the Kremlin suddenly figured out that humor is a thing.

The fact of the matter is that humorous lampooning of western establishment Russia narratives writes itself. The hypocrisy is so cartoonish, the emotions are so breathlessly over-the-top, the stories so riddled with plot holes and the agendas underlying them so glaringly obvious that they translate very easily into laughs. I myself recently authored a satire piece that a lot of people loved and which got picked up by numerous alternative media outlets, and all I did was write down all the various escalations this administration has made against Russia as though they were commands being given to Trump by Putin. It was extremely easy to write, and it was pretty damn funny if I do say so myself. And it didn't take any Kremlin rubles or dezinformatsiya from St Petersburg to figure out how to write it.

"Ben Nimmo, an Atlantic Council researcher on Russian disinformation, told the BBC that attempts to create funny memes were part of the strategy as 'disinformation for the information age'," the article warns. Nimmo, ironically, is himself intimately involved withthe British domestic disinformation firm Integrity Initiative, whose shady government-sponsored psyops against the Labour Party have sparked a national scandal that is likely far from reaching peak intensity.

"Most comedy programmes on Russian state television these days are anodyne affairs which either do not touch on political topics, or direct humour at the Kremlin's perceived enemies abroad," Robinson writes, which I found funny since I'd just recently read an excellent essay by Michael Tracey titled "Why has late night swapped laughs for lusting after Mueller?"

"If the late night ‘comedy’ of the Trump era has something resembling a ‘message,’ it’s that large segments of the nation’s liberal TV viewership are nervously tracking every Russia development with a passion that cannot be conducive to mental health – or for that matter, political efficacy," Tracey writes, documenting numerous examples of the ways late night comedy now has audiences cheering for a US intelligence insider and Bush appointee instead of challenging power-serving media orthodoxies as programs like The Daily Show once did.

If you wanted the opposite of "anodyne affairs", it would be comedians ridiculing the way all the establishment talking heads are manipulating their audiences into supporting the US intelligence community and FBI insiders. It would be excoriating the media environment in which unfathomably powerful world-dominating government agencies are subject to less scrutiny and criticism than a man trapped in an embassy who published inconvenient facts about those agencies. It certainly wouldn't be the cast of Saturday Night Live singing "All I Want for Christmas Is You" to a framed portrait if Robert Mueller wearing a Santa hat. It doesn't get much more anodyne than that.

Russia makes fun of western establishment narratives about it because those narratives are so incredibly easy to make fun of that they are essentially asking for it, and the nerdy way empire loyalists are suddenly crying victim about it is itself more comedy. When Guardian writer Carole Cadwalladr began insinuating that RT covering standard newsworthy people like Julian Assange and Nigel Farage was a conspiracy to "boost" those people for the advancement of Russian agendas instead of a news outlet doing the thing that news reporting is, RT rightly made fun of her for it. Cadwalladr reacted to RT's mockery with a claim that she was a victim of "attacks", instead of the recipient of perfectly justified ridicule for circulating an intensely moronic conspiracy theory.

Ah well. People are nuts and we're hurtling toward a direct confrontation with a nuclear superpower. Sometimes there's nothing else to do but laugh. As Wavy Gravy said, "Keep your sense of humor, my friend; if you don't have a sense of humor it just isn't funny anymore."

Nikki Haley treedt terug als VS ambassadeur bij de VN

Mooi nieuws gisteren, toen bekend werd gemaakt dat hare kwaadaardigheid Nikki Haley terugtreedt als ambassadeur bij de VN. Deze duivel draait werkelijk alles om als het over de feiten gaat die de ongebreidelde terreur van de VS, Israël en Saoedi-Arabië in de dagelijkse praktijk laat zien (overigens ook wat betreft andere zaken, maar de genoemde drie zijn wel het belangrijkst).

Nu maar afwachten welke ploert het beest Trump nu weer zal aanstellen als vervanger, die per 1 januari 2019 'in functie' zal treden....... Slechter dan Haley is vrijwel onmogelijk. (althans dat hoop ik toch...)

Daarover gesproken: Trump stelde dat Haley het voor elkaar kreeg dat de VS weer wordt gerespecteerd...... ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Met 'gerespecteerd' bedoelt het beest bang zijn voor de VS en daar hebben de landen waar de VS de pik op heeft, alle redenen toe, echter dat is bepaald niet alleen de 'verdienste van Haley of Trump. 

Met leugens en/of false flag operaties heeft de VS al sinds WOII (en zelfs nog ver daarvoor, maar laat ik me beperken tot het einde van WOII) illegale oorlogen gevoerd tegen landen die in de verste verte geen partij zijn voor de VS, dit nog naast de geheime militaire operaties die de VS (volkomen illegaal) uitvoert waar het maar uitkomt...... Verder is daar nog het organiseren van opstanden en coups in diverse buitenlanden van de VS..... Dan het feit dat de VS met drone-terreur al duizenden mensen heeft vermoord, voor meer dan 90% overigens niet eens verdachte personen, dus veelal vrouwen en kinderen...... Om nog maar te zwijgen over het ontvoeren, martelen en gijzelen van verdachten door de VS (CIA).......

Sinds WOII heeft de VS intussen al meer dan 22 miljoen mensen vermoord.......

Respect? Volkomen terechte angst!!

Hier een artikel van Tyler Durden over het aftreden van Haley, met veel feiten over haar smerige optredens in de VN, eerder gepubliceerd op Zero Hedge:

Nikki Haley Resigns as UN Ambassador

October 9, 2018 at 7:59 am
Written by Tyler Durden

(ZHE) — Update (11:00 am ET): During their joint press conference, Trump offered effusive praise of Haley, saying she earned the respect of foreign diplomats during her time as UN ambassador. He added that “maybe” she will be coming back at some point, and that she could have “her pick” of jobs in the administration.

When her turn came, Haley praised the administration’s “follow-through” on its foreign policy aims and her success in cutting $1.3 billion from the UN budget.

“countries may not like what we do but they respect what we do. They know that if we say we’re going to do something we follow it through.”

In a recap of her stint as UN ambassador, Haley praised Trump’s decision to move the US embassy in Israelfrom Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, saying “we will put our embassy where we want to put our embassy.”

She also offered praise for other senior administration figures, including Jared and Ivanka, claiming that Jared was a “hidden genius” for his work on the revamped Nafta deal (now officially known as USMCA).

Before leaving her position at the end of the year, Haley said she hopes to make sure “everything is in the right place” for when the next ambassador arrives. And while she “doesn’t have anything set” on what she’s doing next, she did confirm that “no I will not be running in 2020” adding that she’s a “believer in term limits” and wants to give “someone else a shot.”

When reporters pressed her about her reasons for leaving, Haley denied that she was leaving for “personal reasons” and reiterated her claim that she felt it was time to “step aside” and that “the truth is I want to make sure this administration has the strongest person to fight.”

When reporters reverted to questioning Trump, the president said his administration had avoided serious foreign policy pitfalls – like the outbreak of a hot war with North Korea – that many of Trump’s critics had warned would be all but inevitable should he set foot in the Oval Office.

“Look at North Korea, it was a potentially devastating problem and now it’s looking very good.”

Haley, Trump said, played an important role in reestablishing international respect for the US.

“We are respected again – that I can tell you. Very much respected again. Even if you look at the votes in the United Nations – where we would normally get no votes we are getting very strong votes now.”

He added that the way in which Haley is leaving her position is “the right way to do it.”

“It’s a great position – I think she’s helped make it a much better position. I think it’s become a more glamorous position than it was a few years ago. She’s made it a more important position. So I can say we have very many people who want to do it and they are very good people.”

Trump also revealed that ‘we’re talking about three or four different locations’ for the upcoming summit with North Korea, adding that he’d love to remove sanctions but that “we have to get something.” “Eventually we’ll have meetings on US soil and on their soil also.

“I think North Korea is going to be a very economically successful country. Banks are calling they’re wanting to go there…and that’s one of the reasons we’re having very successful conversations.”

Asked about the timeline for naming a successor to Haley, Trump said he expects to appoint someone within the next “two or three weeks.” Asked about the missing Saudi journalist, Trump said he knows “nothing” about the situation but that he would be asking the Saudis for more information.

Unable to restrain himself from taking a shot at his former rival Hillary Clinton, Trump answered a question about Hillary Clinton’s warnings on how to handle Saudi Arabia with “I guess that’s why she lost.” Meanwhile, Trump said Pompeo’s latest meeting with China (a meeting that ended in a dramatic public confrontation) went “very well.”

Turning to the often uncomfortable subject of the timing of a US-China trade deal, Trump insisted that “China wants to make a deal, but they’re not ready yet. That’s why I’ve canceled a couple of meetings.”

After a few more kind words for Haley, the president wrapped up the press conference.

While Trump says he’s sad to see Haley go, at least one person is excited by the news.

Update (10:40 am ET): Trump has confirmed to a reporter that Haley will be leaving her post at the end of the year, saying only that she wants to “take a break” and that “we hate to lose her”. The president reportedly said he will pick Haley’s replacement in “two-three weeks” or “sooner.”

Others are speculating that South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham could soon take a job in the Trump cabinet (possibly attorney general?) after the midterms, allowing Haley to fill his old senate seat.

In a statement to reporters, Haley said her experience as UN ambassador has been “the honor of a lifetime” and that the US would put its embassy where it wants and that “there are a number of people who would like to do this…it is a much more glamorous position than it was a few years ago.”

Two weeks after President Trump issued another fiery rebuke of globalism, the United Nations and its attendant institutions during his second speech before the UN General Assembly, Axios is reporting that the president has accepted the resignation of UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.

Haley, the former governor of South Carolina who has been with the administration since the beginning, reportedly discussed her resignation with Trump during a visit to the White House last week. Her desire to leave her post apparently shocked several senior administration officials. Haley was an early and frequent critic of then-candidate Trump before she conceded and joined his administration.

Haley refused to comment on reports of her resignation after walking by a group of reporters in the West Wing.

Readers can watch the press conference on the live feed below:

Most recently, Haley oversaw the US’s withdrawal from a UN human rights council over its “chronic bias against Israel.”

“I want to make it crystal clear that this step is not a retreat from human rights commitments,” Haley said at the time. “On the contrary, we take this step because our commitment does not allow us to remain a part of a hypocritical and self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights.”

At one point, Haley was rumored to be a top pick to replace Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State – a job that ultimately went to Secretary Mike Pompeo. Media reports detailed a fraught relationship between Haley and Tillerson as they jockeyed to be the face of the administration’s foreign policy. Tillerson’s aides reportedly asked her to pre-clear any public remarks with Washington.

While she has mostly avoided conflict with Trump since joining the administration, Trump did accuse her of getting “ahead of the curve” after she said earlier this year that the administration would impose sanctions on Russian companies found to be aiding the Syrian government’s chemical weapons program after a deadly chemical attack in April, as the New York Timesreminds us.

On April 15, Ms. Haley announced that the administration would place sanctions on Russian companies found to be assisting Syria’s chemical weapons program — part of a menu of options to retaliate against a suspected gas attack that killed dozens on April 7. But the next day, the White House announced that Mr. Trump had decided not to go forward with the sanctions, contradicting what Ms. Haley had said. The White House said she had gotten “ahead of the curve.”

She also broke with the administration line when she said last December that women accusing Trump of sexual improprieties deserved “to be heard” and that “they should be dealt with.”

And in December 2017, Ms. Haley said that women who had accused Mr. Trump of sexual misconduct “should be heard,” a surprising break from the administration’s longstanding assertion that the accusations were false and that voters rightly dismissed them when they elected Mr. Trump. “They should be heard, and they should be dealt with,” Ms. Haley told CBS. “And I think we heard from them prior to the election. And I think any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way, they have every right to speak up.”

As Axios pointed out, Haley wrote an op-ed last month challenging allegations in the infamous anonymous NYT op-ed alleging that a group of senior administration officials had formed an internal “resistance” movement against Trump to protect the nation from his most dangerous impulses.
