Anderson Cooper Is A Disgusting CIA Goon by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

In a recent CNN interview of United States presidential candidate Cornel West, former CIA intern Anderson Cooper argued that the United States invasion of Iraq was morally superior to the Russian attack on the city of Grozny.

Pushing back against Wests claim that NATO provoked the Russian invasion of Ukraine and his call for ceasefire negotiations, Mr. Cooper argued that President Putin was too evil and murderous to agree to stop slaughtering people.

"I mean, you saw what he did to Grozny in the nineties," Mr. Cooper said. "I mean, he flattened that city. Civilians were trapped in that city. The world did not come to the rescue of Grozny. He did exactly what he wanted to do. I mean, unchecked, he will slaughter people."

"Well, I mean, unchecked, he will slaughter folk, unchecked, what we did in Iraq was slaughtering people, unchecked," Mr. West replied, when Mr. Cooper began frantically interrupting him.

"Nation states do that and they are wrong. And when they are wrong, you have to point it out," Mr. West continued while Mr. Cooper talked over him.

"Look, again, I respect you," Mr. Cooper said. "You know I love you, but I do think it is inappropriate to compare the Russian bombing of Grozny, and what we witnessed there with the war in Iraq. I mean, to say that innocents were killed. I mean, there is no doubt about it. I mean, the horrible things happen-"

"Half a million Iraqis killed, my brother? Half a million," interjected Mr. West.

"I certainly understand," said Mr. Cooper. "I also saw a lot of Americans getting killed. And I saw, you know, the horrors of Saddam Hussein.I do not think it is accurate to compare the pummeling of a city by Russian artillery, with civilians inside, pummeling every single day with the intention of just destroying and flattening a city with actions the United States took."

Mainstream estimates for the number of civilians killed in the Battle of Grozny range from five thousand to eight thousand. Estimates for the number of people killed as a result of the Iraq invasion range into the millions. One was a single battle in one city, the other was a years-long nationwide war which plunged an entire region into violence and chaos. Mr. Cooper is correct that it is inaccurate to compare the two, but he is obviously incorrect that this is because the Iraq invasion was less depraved.

Think about the kind of mentality you would need to have to feel like it is legitimate to claim a United States war for power and profit is morally superior to a Russian attack which killed far, far fewer people. Think of all the things you would have to hold as true in order to make that make sense in your mind!

For one, you would have to believe that the United States only uses its military for noble reasons and with noble intentions. For another, you would have to believe that your own government only kills civilians by accident while other governments only kill civilians because they are evil monsters who enjoy committing war crimes. It would probably also help that perspective make sense if you believed that Arab lives are worth a tiny fraction of what white lives are worth.

It is literally this meme put into action:

Mr. Cooper immediately followed Mr. Wests appearance with an interview with Democratic Party swamp monster James Carville, who promptly began smearing Mr. West as a "menace" and a "threat to the continued constitutional order in the United States."

Mr. Carville then went on to assert that former Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who is Mr. Wests campaign manager, is "almost certainly an agent of the Russian government."

To substantiate his claim that Cornel Wests campaign manager is a secret agent of the Russian government, Mr. Carville urged Mr. Coopers audience to "Google photo, General Flynn, Vladimir Putin, Jill Stein."

Mr. Carville knows that telling CNNs viewers to google those words will produce a photo of Stein, Flynn and Putin at a table together. What Carville does not tell CNNs viewers is that Ms Stein has provided a perfectly adequate explanation of what she was doing at that event.

The photo was taken at an RT conference back in 2015, when meeting with Russians was not considered an outrageous scandal. Ms Stein says she attended the event because she saw it as an opportunity to push her usual agendas of peace and environmentalism. She says she did not interact with Mr. Putin or Mr. Flynn, that she was not paid for her appearance, and that RT offered to pay for her travel but she declined the offer.

Nothing in the comprehensive investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election has turned up a single shred of evidence that any of Ms Steins claims are false, which means the claim that the photo in question is proof that she works for the Kremlin is completely baseless.

So Mr. Carville was actively deceiving CNNs audience about Jill Stein, and about Cornel Wests presidential campaign by extension.

The journalistically responsible thing to do would have been to interrogate Mr. Carvilles wild claims, but Mr. Cooper let them slide through completely unchecked. Calling a presidential candidates campaign manager a secret Russian agent is about as incendiary an accusation as you can possibly make, and Mr. Cooper just accepted it as an established fact and moved on.

As far as Anderson Cooper is concerned, criticizing the United States for the destruction of Iraq requires not just interrogation but immediate hostile opposition, while falsely accusing Mr. West of working with a literal Russian agent does not even merit a single follow-up question!

That is how unscrupulous you have to be to get elevated to the highest echelon of United States of American news media.

Those are the depths you have to be willing to plunge to in defense of the worlds most powerful and destructive government!

That is how low you have to be willing to sink to make $12 million a year working in the mainstream press like Anderson Cooper does!

These are the kinds of people who are teaching United States of Americans what to believe about their nation and their world!

And that is precisely why everything is so messed up!!
