U.S. Media Pile On Against Tulsi Gabbard as a ‘Russian Agent’

15 November 2024, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

Donald Trump’s appointment of Tulsi Gabbard (a former U.S. Representative, whose focus had been to end the control over the U.S. Government by America’s armaments manufacturers) as his Director of National Intelligence, is being treated by America’s main media as being traitorous, because she has pointed out many of the war-promoting lies in the news media about heads-of-state that the U.S. Government has been and is trying to replace, such as Bashar al-Assad in Syria, and Vladimir Putin in Russia.

For example, the U.S. Public Broadcasting System (PBS) “Newshour” evening ‘news’ program on November 14th had a segment, “Why Trump’s nomination of Gabbard for national intelligence director is controversial”, which presented her as supporting dictators and as a conspiracy-theorist who is too loyal to Trump and who is suspiciously supportive of America’s enemies (that is, of the heads-of-state in countries whose Governments the U.S. Government spends billions in propaganda and otherwise, in order to get overthrown). Here is part of that (alleged) “news” report (which is actually instead purely an undocumented opinion-piece or ‘news’-commentary to get Americans to oppose this nomination and thus make easier for a Senator to vote against her):

On November 15th, the rabidly neoconservative Democratic Party organ, The Daily Beast, headlined “Dem Rep. Says Tulsi Gabbard Is ‘Likely a Russian Asset’”, which is also what the Democratic Party’s U.S. Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, called her in 2016 when Gabbard endorsed Bernie Sanders for that nomination instead of Clinton. The article opened:

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said that Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump’s controversial pick for director of national intelligence, “is likely a Russian asset.”

Asked in a Friday MSNBC appearance about Gabbard’s prospective nomination to a position that would come with extensive access to classified information, the Florida Democrat did not mince words.

“Tulsi Gabbard is someone who has met with war criminals, violated the Department of State’s guidance and secretly, clandestinely went to Syria and met with [Syrian President Bashar al-]Assad, who gassed and attacked his own people with chemical weapons,” she said. “She’s considered to be, essentially, by most assessments, a Russian asset.”

Pressed on her own view of Gabbard, Wasserman Schultz doubled down. “I consider her someone who is likely a Russian asset,” the congresswomen said.

She railed against the “irresponsibility” of Trump’s recent slew of administration appointments, some of which—like Matt Gaetz for attorney general and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of Health and Human Services—have dropped jaws on both sides of the political aisle.

She must have the armaments manufacturers terrified. They (their owners) control Washington and the ‘news’-media.

PS: If you like this article, please email it to all your friends or otherwise let others know about it. None of the U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media will likely publish it (nor link to it, since doing that might also hurt them with Google or etc.). I am not asking for money, but I am asking my readers to spread my articles far and wide, because I specialize in documenting what the Deep State is constantly hiding. This is, in fact, today’s samizdat.

Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
