Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

The U.S. is no stranger to interfering in the elections of other countries

The CIA has accused Russia of interfering in the 2016 presidential election by hacking into Democratic and Republican computer networks and selectively releasing emails. But critics might point out the U.S. has done similar things.

The U.S. has a long history of attempting to influence presidential elections in other countries – it’s done so as many as 81 times between 1946 and 2000, according to a database amassed by political scientist Dov Levin of Carnegie Mellon University.

In Haiti after the 1986 overthrow of dictator and U.S. ally Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier, the CIA sought to support particular candidates and undermine Jean-Bertrande Aristide, a Roman Catholic priest and proponent of liberation theology. The New York Times reported in the 1990s that the CIA had on its payroll members of the military junta that would ultimately unseat Aristide after he was democratically elected in a landslide over Marc Bazin, a former World Bank official and finance minister favored by the U.S.

The U.S. also attempted to sway Russian elections. In 1996, with the presidency of Boris Yeltsin and the Russian economy flailing, President Clinton endorsed a $10.2-billion loan from the International Monetary Fund linked to privatization, trade liberalization and other measures that would move Russia toward a capitalist economy. Yeltsin used the loan to bolster his popular support, telling voters that only he had the reformist credentials to secure such loans, according to media reports at the time. He used the money, in part, for social spending before the election, including payment of back wages and pensions.

Of course that is the Obama CIA, aka the Clinton Campaign Team.
Are all of these people who are so outraged at claims that Russia exposed the truth of the Clinton Criminal Machine also outraged when Obama and other Libtards clearly and directly interfered with, attempting to sway, the Election of our Lifelong Ally, a democratically elected government in Israel? Or are they keeping their blinders on?

Of course I can't find it again ... but there was a very lengthy article in the LATimes about a SA man, heavily funded by the US, to play covert 'dirty tricks' in SA and CentralA elections to swing elections. This included hacking, bribing, organizing push-polling and agents provocateur etc.

There's that old saying that you have to have hidden behind a door to look behind it for someone hiding. As shrill and inventive as US anti-Russia accusations are, I'm sure it comes from the knowledge of US's own actions.

How did your beloved 'democratic' party fuck up so badly?

The US, via the CIA, has been rigging foreign elections since the late 40's after WWII.

It's actually quite horrible what has been done with taxpayer dollars, especially considering how poorly we are doing as a country overall with all of the evil things we've paid for.

Infantile Obama's current rash of tantrums includes "reactions" to the Truth about Libtards causing the election to foil Hilliary.

Did Israel evict our diplomats when Obama worked to disrupt and meddle with their elections?

Only under a Black President could the US turn their backs on the Jews of Israel.

Love or hate the Jews, this is the absolute truth. Only a Black Muslim President with a pretty smile could be given the Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing, while following that up with years of continuing GWB's unconstitutional wars in the Middle East, putting millions of dollars of weapons in the hands of people who want to see all of us die, starting 3 more unconstitutional Middle East wars of his own to further destabilize the area and recruit more anti-American Jihadists, and then making it "cool" to tell Israel to go f**k itself after allowing hundreds of millions of potential terrorists into our borders.

Oh yeah, and "here's a Bill I got passed through a majority Republican Congress that is the beginning of the end of Free Speech in America, to Americans. Fuck You!!!!"

It's likely we won't be able to have conversations like this in the near future, so just remember to think to yourselves that Obama was the worst president we've ever had when that time comes. GWB was close, and should have gone down as the most hated man in American History, but Obama even ruined that for us.

Do Right, Be Right. :)
