seems like a case of the pot calling the kettle black;

As I have written in my last two blog posts (here and here), the U.S. government is prosecuting members of a small political group named the African People’s Socialist Party and its related “Uhuru” movement. The trial is taking place in U.S. District Court in Tampa. The group has been advocating socialism and opposing U.S. imperialism for around 50 years. The feds are prosecuting them as part of their anti-Russia crusade that U.S. officials have been waging since even before the end of World War II. Specifically, the defendants are being prosecuted for failing to register themselves as agents of the Russian government and “sowing discord and conflict” within American voters, especially by opposing the U.S. government’s foreign policy of interventionism, including in Ukraine.

On Day 3 of the trial last week, the feds presented an “expert witness” to establish Russia’s history of disinformation. That’s rich, given that the U.S. government has long been one of the leaders of disinformation.

How about that 20-year war that the national-security establishment waged in Afghanistan? Most everyone now acknowledges that U.S. officials were lying about about the war during the entire time they were waging it. See this article from the Intercept entitled “A War’s Epitaph,” whose subtitle is “For Two Decades, Americans Told One Lie After Another About What They Were Doing in Afghanistan.”

And what about those infamous WMDs in Iraq? They were used to initiate a vicious, deadly, and destructive war that killed, injured, incarcerated, and tortured tens of thousands of Iraqi people and destroyed their entire country. How’s that for a good example of U.S. disinformation?

In fact, let’s not forget the propaganda that was emanating from U.S. officials after the 9/11 attacks — that the terrorists attacked America because of hatred for our “freedom and values.” More disinformation. Assuming that the attacks were not an “inside job,” the motivation was retaliatory anger over the continuous killing spree that was being inflicted on the Iraqi people with the brutal U.S. sanctions, which succeeded in killing countless Iraqi children.........more.......
