JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: RUSSIA AND AMERICA – RUSSIAGATE AND DNC “HACKING” – AN EXCELLENT ARTICLE SHEDS SOME LIGHT ON AMERICAN-RUSSIAN RELATIONS AND THE BEHAVIOR OF KEY AMERICAN PLAYERS - BUT THE ARTICLE MISSES A KEY POINT – THE QUESTIONS RAISED BY THAT POINT ARE ALMOST TOO OVERWHELMING FOR AMERICA TO DEAL WITH – THE MATTER OF SETH RICH’S DEATH – HIGH OFFICIALS WHO ACTED AND LIED THEIR WAY THROUGH THE HORRORS OF SYRIA AND LIBYA WERE PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF BRINGING SUCH BEHAVIOR HOME – THEY SAW IT PROVEN TO WORK ABROAD MANY TIMES AND THEY WERE NEVER HELD ACCOUNTABLE – THERE IS NO INVISIBLE BARRIER AT THE BORDER OF THE UNITED STATES TO STOP HIGH-LEVEL POLITICAL MURDER – KENNEDY’S DEATH IN DALLAS EMPHASIZES THE POINT

“US-Russia Ties, from Heyday to MayDay

“Whatever hopes Russia’s leader may have had for a more workable relationship with the U.S. have been “trumpled,” so to speak.”

An excellent piece with some real bits of insight into American-Russian relations.

But at least one very important thing is missing.

The author says, "the faux-story [DNC Russian hacking] is simply too big to fail"

Indeed, but why?

If the official line isn't so, and it is not, we get to the point, "Then, who downloaded the data from the DNC?"

Several analysts have made suggestions in the past, and Julian Assange himself hinted around the subject.

I believe that the “Russian-hacking” story can't fail because the alternative is that a Democratic Party insider downloaded the material and supplied it to Assange.

And the absolutely best candidate for having done that was Seth Rich, a young, idealistic political worker who was likely shocked by some of the material to which he had access.

Further, since I just do not believe in coincidence, especially where such high-level matters are involved, we are left asking, "Then, who killed Seth Rich, or had him killed?"

The only serious candidates for that are at the top of the Democratic Party.

The article speaks of the kind of lying and subterfuge and attempts to hurt that go on in foreign affairs – as with the Sarin gas in Syria - and those practices are a major part of America's entire set of foreign policies today, not just for relations with Syria or Russia.

I do not believe people can follow such practices abroad for years without eventually bringing them home. After all, they’ve seen how well they can work and they know there is virtually no risk for themselves, so why not use them at home where the stakes are great?

That is just one of the ways, empire and militarism corrupt a nation and crumble any principles it may have once operated under.

In the article, we have John Kerry openly lying about something that has vicious consequences.

And we know from Seymour Hersh, the great investigative reporter, that among the things Hillary Clinton was secretly having shipped from smashed-up Libya to the mercenary forces trying to destroy Syria also, was a small quantity of Sarin nerve agent from the dead Qadhafi’s stocks. The intention was for it to be used to provide the “red line” Obama had talked about.

I just don’t accept that such evil abroad can never come home to roost in America. Indeed, I think it has many times, going back to Dallas, 1963.
