Sputnik International — Ex-CIA Chief of Russia Ops [Stephen Hall]: US Has Carried Out Election Meddling Historically

“If you ask an intelligence officer, did the Russians break the rules or do something bizarre, the answer is no, not at all,” Steven L. Hall, former CIA chief of Russia operations, who retired in 2015 following 30 years of service, told the newspaper and noted that Washington “absolutely” has meddled in foreign elections historically.
The former intelligence official expressed hope that the United States will continue its interfering practice, the newspaper reported late on Saturday.
“We have been doing this kind of thing since the CIA was created in 1947 … We have used posters, pamphlets, mailers, banners — you name it. We have planted false information in foreign newspapers. We have used what the British call ‘King George’s cavalry’: suitcases of cash,” Loch K. Johnson, the former member of the US Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, told the media outlet.
And when that didn't work, fomenting coups with covert operations. All documented.

But it is OK when "we" do it.

It's a sad fact that people don't think their own side could be evil. But they fear the Chinese, and the Russians, because they are the alien ' other', so our ruling elite can carry out all sorts of crimes and atrocities and get away with it. And their propaganda helps too, because people simply believe them.

What other country have blanket bombed a continent using napalm and phosphorus? Can you imagine if the Chinese had done these crimes, how our media would have depicted them?
