Bill Maher Now Using CIA Talking Points

in #politics7 years ago (edited)

Real Time With Bill Maher Blog.png

The CIA has a long history of using journalists & entertainers to push their propaganda to the masses; the trick is how to spot it occurring WHILE its happening (as opposed to discovering evidence years after the fact).

Bill Maher is certainly no enemy to establishment left talking points, but in recent months, it seems as if he's working overtime to reinforce the evidence-less claims of the US deepstate, most recently displayed in his recent Real Time With Bill Maher Blog entry titled Nothing But Nyet:

We’re so transfixed on the possibility of the Trump campaign (or perhaps even Trump himself) colluding with the Russians to meddle in the outcome of our election that we’re all but ignoring the proven, original crime of the Russians meddling in our election! That the Russians meddled successfully is the one thing we do know. Why aren’t more people asking what’s being done to prevent this from happening again in 2018 or 2020?

This is the integrity of the American electoral process we’re talking about, the sanctity of our very democracy. Shouldn’t everyone in government, regardless of party, from the President on down, be shouting from the rooftops, calling for future preventative measures and even stricter sanctions against our adversary, Russia?

Not only does the copy here not even 'sound like' Maher (who's credited as author of this blog entry), but he reinforces the exact same evidence-less claims being repeated by the Pentagon and mainstream media outlets for the past year: the Russians did it, there's no debate, it's settled science, more sanctions please!

For a guy who has been highly critical of the George W. Bush administration for selling a pack of lies on WMDs to justify an illegal (and distastrous) invasion of Iraq, its all the more suspect that he would now rubberstamp the same kind of evidence-free claims being made by US intelligence agencies, this time to justify another 'oil war' in Syria.

Bill Maher has always been such a tool. I couldn't stand his show. His ghostwriter should know that, according to WikiLeaks, the CIA has all the Russian hacking tools, so every-time the CIA hacks someone it leaves Russian digital fingerprints.

Not to mention it came out that US intelligence KNEW that Assad didn't gas his own people back in April -- despite the fact that the original SOURCE for that story (reported on like wildfire across Western mainstream media) was US intelligence! Nice propaganda psyop against our own people...

PLUS for extra bonus points: On the June 23, 2017 episode of 'Real Time,' Bill devoted an entire segment with his panel to ridiculing the concept of a 'deep state' as some sort of Trump fever dream.

Its one thing to say the propaganda arm of US intelligence is being overblown or overused by Trump; quite another to simply deny its existence. What was truly amazing here was also how quickly his ENTIRE PANEL jumped on the anti-deepstate bandwagon.

Not surprising, given the connections at least one of his guests (Maajid Nawaj) has has with UK intelligence services (they funded his Muslims-against-Muslim-extremism think tank Quilliam)

I honestly can't even listen to Bill Maher. I am not against listening to people who have a different point of view then I do, but something about his overly condescending attitude just really gets to me. Fuck that guy...
