(And, please consider that all of these articles were published after the U.S. President whom that site supports had already installed in Ukraine, via a violent coup, an outright <a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/editorials\/obamas-ukrainian-stooges\/\"><span class=\"s2\">exterminationist nazi regime<\/span><\/a>; and, that this is supposed to be a \u2018liberal,\u2019 or even \u2018progressive,\u2019 \u2018news\u2019 site \u2013 this site that hides its hero\u2019s nazism, is supposed to be taken as being instead liberal, or even progressive.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s5\">On 19 March 2014, a post at dailykos said,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/story\/2014\/03\/19\/1285897\/-German-Neo-Nazis-Forge-Ties-With-Ukrainian-Svoboda#\"><span class=\"s6\">&#8220;The Russian claims that the entire upheaval in\u00a0Ukraine that resulted in the ouster of Yanukovych\u00a0was a fascists directed coup are pretty clearly\u00a0overblown propaganda.\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s5\">On 15 February 2015, another said,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/story\/2015\/02\/15\/1364583\/-Don-t-feel-sorry-for-Ukrainian-Russian-speakers\"><span class=\"s6\">&#8220;The rebels trying to create a new country or attach\u00a0themselves to Moscow are only there because of\u00a0Stalin.\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s5\">On 6 February 2015, another said,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/story\/2015\/02\/06\/1362732\/-Euromaidan-one-year-ago-dronecam-view-of-the-people-power-that-caused-a-corrupt-gov-t-to-collapse\"><span class=\"s6\">&#8220;February 21st is the one-year anniversary of the\u00a0culmination of the Euromaidan protest in Ukraine.\u00a0The Putin sympathizers will be very busy pushing\u00a0their BS conspiracy theories about Nuland&#8217;s\u00a0cookies, but here&#8217;s some images that show what\u00a0an inspiring moment it was in history.\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s5\">On 13 November 2014, another said (and strongly disagreed with)\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/story\/2014\/11\/13\/1344653\/-Kissinger-goes-Commie\"><span class=\"s6\">&#8220;Henry Kissinger, that notorious Russian commie\u00a0sympathizer, says that the West in effect caused\u00a0the crisis in Ukraine (not, of course, that it&#8217;s OK for\u00a0Russia to have, in response, intervened in Ukraine)\u00a0because it failed to understand Russian strategic\u00a0interests.\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s5\">A rare exception, of opposing Obama\u2019s policy there, was on 19 September 2014: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/story\/2014\/09\/19\/1330907\/-Commies-Russians-Nazis-and-Ukraine\"><span class=\"s7\">\u201cUnder Poroshenko, the new Ukrainian President,\u00a0the rebels and the cities they occupied were\u00a0shelled and bombed. We were outraged when\u00a0Assad did something similar, but Europe and the\u00a0US only mildly objected when the Ukraine bombed\u00a0its own people. That&#8217;s when Putin, apparently, sent\u00a0in Russian soldiers to turn the tide. But notice: with the exception of the special case\u00a0of Crimea (host to the Russian Black Sea Navy,\u00a0ethnically heavily Russian), Putin has not moved to\u00a0take over Eastern Ukraine, only to stop\u00a0Poroshenko&#8217;s brutal &#8216;anti-terrorist&#8217; campaign\u00a0against ethnic Russians. Since the ceasefire, Putin\u00a0has pushed for a weak federal state for Ukraine,\u00a0which would create a neutral country, much like\u00a0Finland. The US should not be promoting NATO expansion\u00a0to Russian borders.&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But even that article was profoundly dishonesst, because it failed to so much as just mention, merely once, the \u2018Democratic\u2019 U.S. President, Barack Obama, who was behind all this policy, which the writer here was objecting to, the man whose coup had installed this <a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/featured\/ideology-new-ukraine\/\"><span class=\"s2\">nazi<\/span><\/a> regime, and who requires, even to this day, extermination of the residents in the area of Ukraine where the voters had voted 90% for the man whom Obama had overthrown a year ago. In other words: it\u2019s like condemning the Holocaust without once mentioning Adolf Hitler. It\u2019s phony. Even that dailykos post was fraudulent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s5\">On 5 August 2014, another post addressed the President directly, and complained that he wasn\u2019t helping the extermination campaign as much as he should:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/story\/2014\/08\/06\/1319370\/-An-Open-Letter-to-President-Obama-There-is-Too-Much-Attention-On-Gaza-And-Not-Enough-on-Ukraine\"><span class=\"s6\">\u201cDespite the fact that Russia is brazenly\u00a0sending over tanks, artillery, weapons and\u00a0personnel, across Ukraine&#8217;s border,\u00a0you persist\u00a0in assuming that sanctions are some economic\u00a0nuclear weapon that will, once again &#8211; make\u00a0Vladimir Putin see reason. And your &#8216;military\u00a0assistance&#8217; consists of what? Non-lethal aid?\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dailykos also essentially ignored altogether <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2014\/05\/videos-photos-odessan-massacre-done.html\"><span class=\"s2\">the massacre of anti-nazis in the Trade Unions Building in Odessa on 2 May 2014<\/span><\/a>, the event that so terrified the residents in the nation\u2019s pro-Russian area (Donbass) as to cause them to seek separation from Ukraine, which the Obama-installed Government needed to have them seek <a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/featured\/new-video-evidence-americas-coup-ukraine-means\/\"><span class=\"s2\">so as to be able to call them \u2018terrorists\u2019 and thus get the support from suckers in the West for the Obama-demanded ethnic-cleansing<\/span><\/a> or extermination of the residents in Donbass in order to make Obama\u2019s nazi <a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/featured\/obamas-new-national-security-strategy-rabidly-anti-russian\/\"><span class=\"s2\">anti-Russian<\/span><\/a> regime stick.\u00a0(So, in a perverse way, exterminating these people assists their becoming despised; it also increases their determination to separate from Ukraine.) That\u2019s why <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2014\/05\/key-man-behind-may-2nd-odessa-ukraine-trade-unions-building-massacre-many-connections-white-house.html\"><span class=\"s2\">the White House wanted this massacre<\/span><\/a> \u2013 which massacre dailykos thus virtually ignored.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In other words: dailykos is a Democratic Party shill operation, like Fox \u2018News\u2019 is a Republican Party shill operation. It\u2019s not an authentic news-site; it is a PR or \u201cpropaganda\u201d operation, for the Democratic Party, in order to fool liberal suckers to think that America\u2019s aristocracy don\u2019t control <i>both<\/i> Parties, and to deceive them to think that the United States is still a democracy \u2013 even though it no longer is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For the most part, Obama\u2019s \u201cpolicy failures\u201d (<a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/featured\/obama-lied-obamacare\/\"><span class=\"s2\">such as the \u2018failure\u2019 of Obamacare to achieve his promised \u201cuniversal coverage,\u201d or 100% of Americans being insured<\/span><\/a>) are not really due to <i>bugs<\/i> (such as Republicans accuse); they\u2019re due to <i>features<\/i> of his programs; they are intended to produce the type of results that they do. (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/eric-zuesse\/obama-i-dont-care-about-t_b_4978653.html\"><span class=\"s2\">Just ignore his rhetoric, which is intended to deceive.<\/span><\/a>) This is also the reason why <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/eric-zuesse\/economists-report-that-ri_b_4804922.html\"><span class=\"s2\">for the first time in history there is a continued widening of the gap between rich and poor even <i>after<\/i> an economic crash<\/span><\/a>, which is precisely the period in the economic cycle when historically the income-gap has narrowed, instead of gotten wider.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The American public are massively deceived. How many news-media are there, which will report this fact, and report it honestly, not in such a way that itself deceives? How many news-media are there that serve their readers, instead of serving their owners and the people who serve them? No democracy can survive like that. This is the reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As a general rule: truth is not being rewarded; it is being punished \u2013 by \u2018both\u2019 sides, as well as in the \u2018middle,\u2019 between \u2018leftist\u2019 dictatorship, and \u2018rightist\u2019 dictatorship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is how democracy is conquered: by presenting <i>any<\/i> type of dictatorship as being \u2018democracy.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dailykos pretends to be a progressive news site but it not only supports a <a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/editorials\/u-s-among-3-countries-u-n-officially-backing-nazism-israel-parts-company-germany-abstains\/\"><span class=\"s2\">pro-nazi anti-Russia President<\/span><\/a>, it supports his nazi policy, to such an extent that it ignores the <a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/editorials\/media-blackout-u-s-sponsors-genocide-southeastern-ukraine\/\"><span class=\"s2\">extermination-program<\/span><\/a> that he initiated and supports, which wouldn\u2019t even exist at all but for his decisions, and his policies. All of the estimated <a href=\"http:\/\/fortruss.blogspot.com\/2015\/02\/german-intelligence-death-toll-in.html\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cup to 50,000\u201d<\/span><\/a> corpses thus far produced in Donbass are due to Obama, yet he threatens to send more weapons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dailykos is not America\u2019s disease; it\u2019s a symptom of America\u2019s disease. The source of this disease goes much deeper. The source is America\u2019s worship of power (in any form, \u201cthe Almighty,\u201d or \u201cthe mainstream,\u201d or \u201cthe successful,\u201d or \u201cthe Establishment\u201d) <a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/featured\/tolerance-dishonesty-fundamental-problem-culture\/\"><span class=\"s2\">rather than of truth (\u201cscience,\u201d \u201chonesty,\u201d etc.)<\/span><\/a>. And America isn\u2019t unique in having this disease. Instead, this disease is normal; so, it\u2019s not even being called a \u201cdisease.\u201d But maybe now, it\u2019s becoming <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2014\/06\/indications-u-s-planning-nuclear-attack-russia.html\"><span class=\"s2\">terminal<\/span><\/a>. That could happen. Think about it. Because not to, would be unrealistic, at the present moment in history. There is too much power now, concentrated in the hands of psychopaths (the people who naturally tend to hold and to increase their power). <a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/featured\/obama-desperate-precipitate-nuclear-war\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Nurturing power-worship, regardless of whether \u201cMacht macht recht\u201d or \u201cthe Almighty,\u201d or any other, leads to this result.<\/span><\/a> It led to this result. The underlying value-system is the problem. If that doesn\u2019t change, then there is no realistic hope for the world\u2019s future. None.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">That\u2019s the disease, of which dailykos is merely a symptom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p9\"><span class=\"s8\">Investigative historian Eric Zuesse is the author, most recently, of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Theyre-Not-Even-Close-Democratic\/dp\/1880026090\/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1339027537&amp;sr=8-9\"><span class=\"s4\"><i>They\u2019re Not Even Close: The Democratic vs. Republican Economic Records, 1910-2010<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>,<\/i> and of <i>\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B007Q1H4EG\"><span class=\"s4\"><i>CHRIST\u2019S VENTRILOQUISTS: The Event that Created Christianity<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eric Zuesse Generally speaking, the falsely-called \u2018liberal\u2019 (some even call it \u2018progressive\u2019) website dailykos (founded and owned by the \u2018formerly\u2019 far-right Markos Moulitsas Zuniga) has ignored President Barack Obama\u2019s coup a year ago in Ukraine, which violently overthrew that country\u2019s unpopular but democratically elected President and replaced him with a racist-fascist (i.e., ideologically nazi) anti-Russian [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1254,"featured_media":143720,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[461,1622],"tags":[115,30,32,96,29,535,59,526,524,523,49,76,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-143719","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-editorials","8":"category-featured","9":"tag-barack-obama","10":"tag-big-brother","11":"tag-cia","12":"tag-cover-up","13":"tag-democrats","14":"tag-global-news","15":"tag-military","16":"tag-propaganda","17":"tag-russia","18":"tag-ukraine","19":"tag-usa-news","20":"tag-warfare","21":"tag-white-house"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1254"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143719\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
