@atrociousconsequences4432 : You should understand the term "National Security" is drawn like a gun to protect the criminal secrets of the Plutocrats. Your anachronistic rhetoric "Loose Lips Sink Ships" is an irrelevant term when the US government is the only aggressor and is filled with Mafia Crime Bosses. Think about what you mean when you say "Government"; there is no government of the people, by the people, for the people; anything resembling a peoples' government was removed by the Austrian/Libertarian Kochs' "Citizens United", Wall Street money and the Clintons' Liberal "Third Way" long ago; there is only the plutocrats' corporate government that remains in power. Haven't you learnt anything from Bush's and Obama's response to "Too Big to Fail; Too Big to Jail". The last time Obama invoked "National Security" was to apply sanctions to the oil rich state of Venezuela so US companies could get access to Venezuelan oil and the next time "National Security" is pronounced will be to hide the corruption of Assange's Virginian Kangaroo Court proceedings from the people. You should always remember the interests of the Plutocrats are bipartisan; Obama and Bolton are working for the same outcome in Venezuela - to maximize the wealth of the plutocrats they serve. You really need to understand that Hartman works for the interests of the plutocrats - period. And never forger; when Gaddafi was slaughtered with a bayonet in the rectum at the hands of the "Liberal" Hillary, her response was "We came, we saw, he died". When half a million Iraqi children died under the sanctions of the "Liberal" Madeline Albright who promoted the "Liberal" Clinton at the primaries, her response was "It was worth it". Yes, this is the same "Liberal" Hillary who said about Assange, "Can't we just drone him?" As I have said to you before, Liberals are the scum of the Earth. Don't ever confuse "Liberal" with "Progressive", they are on the opposite sides of the political spectrum. When you take a close look at "Liberal" Ideology, it is very close to the Libertarian "free market", deregulation, pro-Wall Street anti-worker Ideology; no wonder the Kochs funded Clinton's Democratic Leadership Council.

There is a trick in journalism whereby you can influence an audience in one direction while creating the perception you have the opposing view. Let me explain; you will notice this propaganda strategy when people talk about the current assault by Washington on Venezuela. They give a superficial narrative about Washington’s assault on Maduro government and then start ranting about the living conditions and poor decisions of that government that resulted in the current dilemma. They never mention the 2002 CIA backed Coup against Chavez or the fact Obama designated Venezuela a threat to US “National Security” so he could implement the 2015 Sanctions. The trick is to get you to believe all along it’s the Maduro administration that’s at fault. It’s an excellent strategy and works well on the foolish, ignorant, gullible, and those with the attention span of a goldfish. Gee, I believe I just categorized more than half the country. So, all the audience actually hears is some generalizations about how Washington was influencing Venezuela and then very specific and detailed analysis of how Maduro made poor decisions and this was the major cause of the current dilemma in Venezuela. And this is usually enough to sway the opinion of many away from the facts on the ground. Notice when discussing Venezuela, Hartmann only replicates the mainstream propaganda and never goes to an independent source. You will never see actual Progressive credible journalists on Hartmann; journalists like Max Blumenthal who has actually reported from Caracas: https://thegrayzone.com/author/max-blumenthal/ Now we are observing the Controlled-Opposition Hartmann applying the same strategy to Julian Assange. Seeing Hartmann in full propaganda mode is interesting as I always like to read the comments to see who has fallen for the scam. So Hartmann never mentions the expose by WikiLeaks of the Iraq and Afghanistan War Crimes by the US military or the expose showing the corruption in the Podesta emails; what Hartmann is focusing on is the US Government grasping at straws at it attempts to torture Chelsea Manning into a false confession; a false confession that apparently implicates Assange in a password hacking scam. Hartmann understands once they have Assange in the Virginian Kangaroo secret court, anything is possible. So you have to question the motivation of Hartmann. Is he intentionally this stupid and ignorant or is he working for other interests? To me, the answer to that question is obvious. In some ways Hartmann reminds me of Zbigniew Brzezinski who is also a “Liberal” working for the interests of the Plutocrats. It makes you wonder if Hartmann has membership in the Council on Foreign Relations?

@patriciapowell6047 : It's rewarding when someone puts so much effort into a comprehensive and insightful critique. Maybe next time instead of throwing words and hope they stick, maybe you might debate the points raised. Oh Wait; you have to put your brain in gear to do that and first you need a brain. You appear to be just another Corporate Liberal; just another Russiagate rube.

@slowbaker : This strategy is now universal; it must have gone out over the corporate mainstream media wire. I have just watched my local news presenter, whom I've been watching for years use the same strategy and it made me physically ill. This is why I enjoy watching Hartmann; he is so obvious in his treachery, he actually teaches you the latest deception narrative going around the corporate media.
