(Anti Media) Washington, D.C. —
Russian state media sources have announced that the Russian government has
banned at least 60 American politicians and public figures from entering the
country.
The report cited
by RT, included another 140 non-U.S. persons seen as openly hostile toward
Russia,
According to Izvestia, the new list includes mostly
politicians, civil servants and other public figures known for their openly
anti-Russian activities. About 60 people on the list are from the United
States. Among these are Deputy National Security Advisor Caroline Atkinson,
presidential advisers Daniel Pfeiffer and Benjamin Rhodes, Senate Democratic
Leader Harry Reid, House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, Chairman of
the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Robert Menendes and Senators John
McCain, Daniel Coats and Mary Landrieu.
The notoriously
bloodthirsty and irate McCain responded defiantly to the travel ban, telling
Politico that “I couldn’t be more proud of being sanctioned by Vladimir
Putin for standing up for freedom and human rights for the Russian people and
against Putin’s deadly aggression in Ukraine. I will never stop my efforts to
support democracy, free speech, and the rule of law in Russia.”
At face value, John McCain’s response is fairly
admirable — if only it were true.
McCain, in reality, has not been fighting for
freedom and democracy; he’s been fighting for violent fascism in
Ukraine and Islamic extremism in Syria and Libya. Sure, Russia is
horrible on human rights and free speech, but the US was just
caught torturing
Americans at Homan Square in Chicago without due process, and is currently
prosecuting our very own Anti-Media
journalists for committing acts of ‘biased’ journalism in Fullerton, CA.
McCain’s statement, along with his actions, have zero
moral authority and reek of hypocrisy
