Impeachment in the age of Cognitive Dissonance

Just in the past couple of days, the government of the United States has declared its support for the anti-China protests in China’s Hong Kong, and upended the global consensus on Israel’s illegal settlement of Palestinian lands.

Meanwhile, we’re treated to this impeachment circus, which is predicated on the fantasy that the US does not interfere in the affairs of other countries.

No country on earth does more behind-the-scenes arm-twisting, brow-beating, bribery, and extortion than does the US of A.

The “Deep State” isn’t all that deep. It’s certainly not hidden from public view. The National Endowment for Democracy has a readily accessible website and issues reasonably transparent annual reports. They’re proud to brag about where they’re interfering!

But, we’re supposed to believe that Trump did something out of the ordinary when he was strong-arming Zelensky?

Get outta here!

The narrative being spun out of the impeachment hearings beggars belief.

Joe Biden was America’s point man for cleaning up corruption in Ukraine. That any country on the planet would need Washington’s help in fighting corruption is a laughable proposition on the face of it, and of course another coarse example of brazen Yankee Doodle diddling in the affairs of a sovereign state.

While Joe was busy with that file, his boy Hunter coincidentally got a $50,000/month sinecure at one of Ukraine’s most illustriously corrupt mega corporations. Hunter speaks neither Ukrainian nor Russian and has no qualifications to do anything whatsoever anywhere, save one.

His dear daddy was VP of the USA at the time.

If that doesn’t stink, your sniffer ain’t working.
