COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT
'Kelly asked the
Russian leader: “Anytime he [Trump] says anything about you, it is extremely
deferential, never a harsh word for you, although if you look at the way he
speaks about members of his own party, of his own staff, never mind other
political leaders, he frequently, personally insults them. Why do you think
he’s so nice to you?”'
A deep and interesting question.
If you glance at Alt-Right Internet sites, you will quickly
see that Megyn Kelly is about as hated as Muslims or Mexican migrants or talk
of gun control.
She is regularly pounded by abuse, truly nasty abuse.
Well, here's why, she's quite smart and can ask tough
questions. And that crowd, while they would never say so openly, likes smart women
about as much as it likes black players protesting at the NFL.
I had no idea because I do not watch television news
anymore. I quit years ago.
And if I did watch it, I would avoid the networks she has
worked for because I am familiar with their long history of dishonest
journalism and propaganda - Fox, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, you name it.
But, here and there, even in the most controlled
environment, something of substance does slip through, and I think this is an
instance.
It is a very interesting hypothesis because, while I always
dismiss the tribal rants in the U.S. about Russia and Russian interference and
Russian influence over Trump - each of those things having its own American fan
club, so to speak - this could well prove a matter of substance.
And, of course, if true, it would go against the interests
of the most vociferous Trump supporters, the Alt-Right, the people who daily
pour scorn on the Democrats and on the Special Prosecutor for daring to
question or suggest anything about Trump’s integrity.
American politics literally are a madhouse today.
Americans all shout about Russians, but all for different reasons. None of them
has any facts behind the shouts. The only entity to gain from it all has been
America’s Deep State which hates Putin because he is such a superb and able
opponent.
The Deep State itself may even be protecting Trump because
it knows he is vulnerable, and it can extract anything it wants from him. Yes,
the pretty obviously phony Trump dossier was much talked of, but that was a
political document from the start, paid for by conniving politicians.
But, as I’ve said before, the best propaganda and
disinformation contain some truth. Perhaps, just so here. And, interestingly,
the ex-spy from Russia, Sergei Skripal, who is said to have worked with the
British ex-spy and author of the phony dossier, Christopher Steele, has had a
serious attempt on his life, using nerve agent which allows all the press to
immediately point at Russia while ignoring so many possibilities
If Megyn Kelly’s suspicion is right, it only points again to
the extraordinary ability of Putin to behave as a statesman, not play to the
crowd of the moment and to think strategically about what is best for his
country.
He's simply extraordinary.

Putin’s "new weapons" speech, here is something interesting:
