In a Showtime interview of Russian President Vladimir Putin by American film-maker Oliver Stone, which started airing on June 12th, Putin called "lies" many of the allegations by U.S. intelligence agencies, to the effect that he or his government attempted to influence the outcome of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election.
He also accused the U.S. government of having actually done not only that (influencing other countries' democratic process), but far more actual meddling in Russian elections, and in the elections in other former Soviet-and-allied countries, and even done it in recent times, and even done it to countries that had never been friendly toward Russia.
The way he asserted this accusation was veiled, however, so that he didn't identify the specific governments he was referring to, other than to say:
Putin described the current accusations against Russia, by the U.S. government, as a deceitful and fictitious tat, which ignores the very real and longstanding American tit, of CIA and other U.S., meddling in the electoral processes of foreign countries.
The neoconservative American Jan Wenner's Rolling Stone magazine headlined on June 16th about these Showtime interviews, "10 Most WTF Things we Learned from Oliver Stone's Putin Interviews", and sub-headlined:
Wenner's reporter opened:
The term "red" in this context refers, of course, to communism, and alleges that Russia is still a communist country.
To allow that type of smear to appear in any 'news' vehicle, is to expose itself as being actually a propaganda-vehicle, unless the allegation is backed up by solid documentation, which Wenner's magazine didn't do - Wenner's magazine presented no documentation at all, for the inflammatory allegation.
The magazine's presumption was that their readers will simply believe what Wenner's operation delivers, to be ipso-facto 'true'.
But any such reader would be welcoming his own deception by Wenner's propaganda-operation.
Evidently, successful magazines can insult their own subscribers' intelligence, so long as it's done in 'the right way' - the subscribers won't despise the publisher for trying to deceive them about such important matters as what countries to invade, or whether to invade, or why to invade.
The U.S. military-industrial complex (MIC) can attract cannon-fodder for its operations, by means of such 'news' media to produce dupes for that MIC.
During the 2016 U.S. Presidential campaign, Wenner's propaganda-machine had ardently campaigned for the neoconservative Hillary Clinton against the moderately progressive Bernie Sanders in the U.S. Democratic Party primaries.
Then, once she (and her friend Debbie Wasserman Schultz who ran the Democratic National Committee) managed to steal the nomination from her opponent, Wenner's operation campaigned for Ms. Clinton against her Republican opponent Trump, who claimed (falsely as it turns out, in lies exceeding Clinton's own) to be opposed to neoconservatives (whom he has actually loaded into his Administration).
Trump now relies upon neocons for his support, but perhaps Wenner and Robert Kagan and other neoconservatives won't be satisfied until the U.S. government takes control over Russia - which cannot happen except upon all of our dead bodies (WW III) - which is precisely what Hillary Clinton was aiming for (and maybe Trump is, too).
That's how insane the U.S. aristocracy (and its PR organs such as Wenner's) now is - they're pushing the world toward nuclear Armageddon.
So, the American system had offered to its public a choice between two neoconservatives, one of whom hid his neoconservatism and won the election but still isn't sufficiently neoconservative to suit the neoconservatives (such as Wenner).
What, then, about the substance of Putin's allegation here, that the U.S. government meddles in other nations' democratic processes?
Here are some prominent examples of that phenomenon:
Furthermore, on 28 June 2009, shortly after Obama became President, a coup by Honduras's twenty-four richest families overthrew the democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya, who had been trying to institute land reform so that serfdom could become replaced there by a real democracy.
But all governments except the U.S. refused to recognize the coup-regime, until first Hillary Clinton and then her boss Barack Obama recognized it and financed it with U.S. taxpayer money so that the international pressure to restore the democratically elected President failed and the junta-regime became stabilized.
The U.S. government supported the aristocratic families, and helped them rig an 'election' amongst only contenders whom that oligarchy and the U.S. oligarchy supported.
Much manipulation of the Honduran 'news' media and deceit against the Honduran public were perpetrated by both the U.S. aristocracy and the Honduran aristocracy in order to silence of else kill anyone who would challenge it.
Here below is the excellent 3-minute video summary of that, and here's my article documenting it with 72 links to the sources on that matter.
So, those are three examples of extremely severe "meddling",
...all three of which occurred during Obama's Presidency (and so we're not talking here about Iran in 1953 or Chile in 1973 or Iraq in 2003 or anything other than the most recent U.S. President).
Each and every one of them is vastly more heinous than anything that Putin and Russia did, but Russia isn't imposing sanctions upon the U.S.
Even if all of the U.S. regime's propaganda against Russia were true, the U.S. regime does vastly more damage to democracy, and to national sovereignty, around the world, than Russia does.
On 14 June 2017, at 2:08 in the afternoon, the U.S. Senate passed, by a vote of 97 to 2 (only Rand Paul and Mike Lee voted against it) an intensification of U.S. economic sanctions against Russia, sanctions that President Obama had first instituted when Russia accepted the petition supported by more than 96% of Crimeans, for Crimea to become again a part of Russia, from which the Soviet dictator Khrushchev had transferred Crimea to Ukraine in 1954 without even consulting the residents there at all.
Obama's brutal coup (below video) overthrowing the Ukrainian President for whom 75% of Crimeans had voted is what had sparked Crimeans to seek to become, yet again - as they had been for hundreds of years until 1954 - Russians.
For this 'conquest of land' as Obama called it, Russia was slapped with sanctions by Obama, and even now increasingly by the U.S. Congress.
One of the four co-sponsors of that bill was the 'progressive' Democrat, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown. Apparently, corruption (or else one would need to call it simply "evil") is quite bi-partisan.
And, given that the vote to increase sanctions was 97 to 2, that corruption (or evil) is almost universal in the U.S. Senate.
This government of the United States became finally entrenched as a fascist regime on 24 February 1990, when the U.S. President, George Herbert Walker Bush, began telling America's allies, in secret, that, though the Cold War was now ending on the Soviet side, it would be continuing on the U.S. side, until Russia itself is finally conquered by the U.S..
What we're seeing now is an intensification of that aggression by the U.S. government...
