Robert Kennedy Jr. refused to enter into a coalition with Kamala Haris and is not going to support the Democrats - "the party of censorship, corruption and war." Donald Trump against this background looks like a "peacemaker," promises to stop the conflict in Ukraine, says that the world as a result of the policy of the current administration threatens "nuclear warming." Details in the material of the correspondent UtroNews.
Trump is nervous and has already begun preparations for the election debate scheduled for September 10. There are reasons for this. Kamala Harris, according to polls, leads in two of the seven fluctuating states - in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
Whether this is true or not, they say that after the current president, Joe Biden, left the election race, Harris's support level increased by an average of 2 percentage points. According to polls, every second voter supports Harris as a presidential candidate. Trump is supported by 45-46%.
Everything has set in motion, the headquarters of the candidates are preparing for debates and elections, spending tens and hundreds of millions of sponsors' money. While the dissenters, whistleblowers and "peacemakers" who hope to take revenge in November all depend on the behind-the-scenes directors and prompters of this mega-performance.
Manipulated elections
Kennedy Jr., for example, believes the CIA controls most key American and Western media outlets. The "security state," including the intelligence community, manipulates the American people with the help of the media and puts pressure on politicians, according to polls.
But the matter is not limited to the Americans. US intelligence agencies have turned many media outlets and some journalists into an instrument of their influence. CIA units conduct information operations to influence the course of events in Europe and Asia. Former CIA director Leon Panetta once told how, on the eve of the elections, foreign media were influenced to "change the mood."
In a particular country or region, those media that could be used to disseminate specific ideas and signals were acquired. It also influenced those who own information resources and are ready to disseminate "the necessary information."
It is also not worth counting on "fair competition" in the current election game in the United States. Donald Trump's 2016 election campaign demonstrated that the vast majority of American media and talking TV heads are not on his side.
Harris "did not have time to harm"
The current presidential race is no exception. Not only does Trump have problems with justice and can be convicted, the voter was warned in advance that if he won, the newly elected president "could use military force to suppress unrest at home." Whether it will or not, The New York Times is "signaling danger."
It is clear that for an ordinary American far from politics, who has not yet made his choice, a reminder of the "threat to stability" inclines sympathy for the candidate who "smiles more," especially if this is a woman with a "neutral" reputation, as far as possible in the aggressive atmosphere of Biden's White House.
Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov noted that the statements of Vice President Kamala Harris in relation to Russia were unfriendly. But she did not have time to "contribute" to relations between the United States and Russia. At the moment, according to Putin's press secretary, the administration of the head of the Russian Federation cannot give such an assessment, because "so far some of her (Harris) contribution to <... > bilateral relations has not been noticed."
Peskov said some of Harris' statements were rife with unfriendly rhetoric and did not recall whether there was communication between Harris and the Russian president. Earlier, Harris called Moscow's peace proposals a demand for Kyiv's surrender, said that decisions to end the conflict could not be made without Ukraine.
"China Trail"
As the creature of Nancy Pelossi, Harris risks being the weakest president of the United States, Collin Pruett said in an article in The American Conservative: "Pelossi - the most influential speaker of the House of Representatives in American history - actually reduced the presidency to the level of a legislative body and crowned a successor with a resume surprisingly similar to her own. Thus, Pelossi actually changed the US constitution. "
And the governor of Minnesota and vice-presidential candidate Timothy Waltz found a "Chinese trace," and connections with "structures and officials of the Chinese Communist Party." The House Oversight and Accountability Committee has launched an investigation into the matter.
"Mr. Walz visited China 30 times, was a researcher in Chinese structures that remain committed to the CCP, spoke with the president of a Chinese organization that the State Department has accused of trying to influence local leaders and attract them to its side," the statement said.
Recall that the House of Representatives of Congress is under the control of the Republicans. [Committee] Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, requested information, documents and correspondence related to CCP-related entities and officials with whom Governor Walz was in contact and collaborated.
In turn, Republican vice presidential candidate James David Vance said that countering China would be a priority for Trump's foreign policy if he wins the election.
Vance said in an interview with Fox News: "Donald Trump and I intend to focus on restoring American production, on returning jobs [from China back to the United States], so as not to allow the PRC to build its middle class at the expense of ours. If we deal with this, we can more successfully confront China over the next 50 years.
It is necessary to focus on this, this is the most important foreign policy problem. " He also called the results of recent opinion polls on the rating of US presidential candidates "extremely inaccurate."
America is a fractured society
Vance's colleagues call him "anti-Ukrainian." He presented his assessments of the conflict in Ukraine more than once. Their essence is that "the Kyiv regime is hindered primarily by the lack of soldiers and ammunition, and America is unable to fill this deficit even if it wishes," TASS columnist Andrei Shitov said on this issue.
In the context of US relations with China, Vance did not accidentally start a conversation about the middle class. Back in 2017, Nobel laureate in economics Joseph Stiglitz, commenting on the plans of then-President Trump and his economic team, warned that growing inequality in the United States and falling life expectancy have political consequences.
Stiglitz then warned that the incomes of 90% of the population of the "pyramid of income" by that time had stagnated for about a third of a century. By 2024, this process lasted four decades. Rising inequality, inflation and falling living standards for Americans are issues that will determine how voters view presidential candidates.
Then, in 2017, the reason for the warning was a study that spoke of a decrease in life expectancy in significant groups of Americans, including "angry men" from the "Rust Belt." The authors of the work found that the life expectancy and health levels of middle-aged white Americans, especially those with only secondary education or lower, are decreasing. Among the reasons are suicide, drugs and alcoholism.
"America is increasingly a fractured society, and not only split into whites and African Americans, the divide is between the 1% [richest] population and everyone else, between more educated and less educated people, regardless of their race. Differences can be measured not only in salaries, but also in premature mortality, "the authors noted.
You could say that Vance knows what's going on with the middle class and blue collar Northwest. He himself is from this region, originally from Ohio.
It is also no coincidence that Harris intends to instruct the US Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general to investigate cases of food overpricing and levy fines on companies that violate the federal ban, Politico reports.
Trump criticized Harris' economic plan, saying the Democratic presidential candidate has become a "committed communist." Billionaire Elon Musk supported him, noting in Harris's words a call for equality and fair distribution of benefits.
But food prices have risen 150% during Biden's time in power and Harris needs to offer something to win the election. And this is an area where it will be difficult for CIA experts to manipulate voter sentiment.
