This would be the 82nd time in 56 years the US has interfered in a foreign election. That's 81 "Pearl Harbors" by Rep. Jerry Nadler's comparison of the alleged interference by Russia in the 2016 US election. Meaning we should bomb and destroy them. Which also means the US shouldve been bombed 81 times already. Including by Russia. Meddling in other countries’ elections is an exciting adventure–when it’s the United States doing the meddling. https://fair.org/home/hypocrisy-of-russia-did-it-stories-is-hard-to-stomach/
He said nothing of the sort, of course. Any intelligent person who read the article the talking head in the video refers to would know that, but for some reason the OP didn't include the article. https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...d16b7d1541a_story.html?utm_term=.cc5fab1d0514 He was clearly referring to what the US might do after the possible election of Corbyn in relation to Britain's Jewish community. Their fears seem extremely exaggerated, his response suggested the US would make representations on their behalf with an incoming Corbyn government before it did anything negative to that community. A very long way from the wild assertions above. The usual suspects will pile on here to denounce the US, Jews & whoever else disagrees with their little narratives, but this is a cyclone in a thimble.
Certainly the US would not tolerate a Corbyn Government. Varoufakis warned Corbyn long ago that he should not forget that if he was in power he might be in danger of similar actions to that which the US uses on anyone who is Social Democratic - for instance Venezuela. The Tories and British State has been at it anyway. There have been smear campaigns against him since before he was elected and due to his support for Palestinian rights there has been a campaign claiming antisemitism against left wing Labour similar to the one you had in the states but more successful and still going on. The Integrity Initiative/the Institute of Statecraft a supposed charity which claims to break through propaganda being one of the worst Corbyn smear makers and one which I had heard had moved to the US - we do like sharing.
The London School of Economics did research on the lies and smears which Corbyn has been receiving since he was nominated for the Labour Leadership. It does not believe this is free speech as he is the leader of the Opposition and the vast majority of these smears are lies or misrepresentations. They believe that the attack which has been made on Corbyn is antidemocratic. http://www.lse.ac.uk/media-and-comm...nts/research/projects/corbyn/Cobyn-Report.pdf Although that was only during a couple of months in 2015 nothing has changed.
You can always tell when someone is trying to mislead when they don't include all the relevant information. This is what the quote looks like in context: It is crystal clear that he is referring to what might happen after Corbyn is elected. The question he is asked explicitly refers to that circumstance and so does Pompeo's reply. Any other interpretation is a wilful distortion of what was said or an inability to understand the English language. It is a pity that the WashPo has sunk to the level where it is doing just that.
Why would I care what a subbie thinks I should think when I can read the actual words? I have been reading English at an adult level for a very long time now, I don't need anyone else's help to understand context. Of course, you once again remove the words from their context because you know that when read in the full context they don't remotely say what you or the WashPo claim they do. There is quite literally NOTHING in there that says the US is going to intervene to stop Corbyn becoming PM. Not one single thing. Either you know that or you don't. Whatever the case I have spent quite enough time pointing out your deceptions & the WashPo's stupidity.
Craig Murray picks up on this is a long article on the demise of Western Democracy https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2019/06/the-broader-view-reveals-the-ugliest-of-prospects/ Frankly something which happened after the last Tory Leaders Debate has convinced me that democracy in the UK is a thing of the past. An Iman who asked for the Tories to look into Islamphobia in the party has been suspended from his job of Assistant Head at a school and as Iman because on twitter he used that Finkelsteine cartoon of moving Israel to the US and made suggestions about Israel supporters being behind the smear campaign on Corbyn. Now they would not dare take this behavior to the English courts for them to rule whether it was acceptable...but when people are undermining democracy it appears they have other ways of removing checks and balances. In the US it appears to be filling the Supreme Court with people who will go along with this and in the UK ignoring the courts. Please note he does not have to be right in what he thinks in order to have a right to argue his view. He was described on the news as having been suspended for criticising Israel.
