Kremlin goes all in on with attempt to discredit actor Morgan Freeman.

Courtesy of BBC: 

Russia has aimed its entire media arsenal at the veteran Hollywood actor Morgan Freeman over his appearance in a video accusing the Kremlin of waging "war" on America during last year's presidential election. 

The video shows the Oscar winner accusing President Vladimir Putin, a "former KGB spy", of launching cyber attacks and spreading false information in order to avenge the collapse of the Soviet Union. 

He urges President Donald Trump to tell the nation that "during this past election, we came under attack by the Russian government". 

The clip was produced by The Committee to Investigate Russia, a group set up by Hollywood director Rob Reiner to expose what it calls Russia's "aggressive effort to subvert the American democratic process". 

The committee includes former National Intelligence Agency director James Clapper on its advisory board.

The Russian media claims that Morgan was "duped" and compared him to Colin Powell who famously made the case to attack Iraq based on fake and inadequate data.

Clearly that is not the case with Mr. Freeman, who seems to be well informed as to what Russia did during the 2016 election, and whose opinion falls right in line with the folks currently investigating the Kremlin's interference.

Also keep in mind who else the Russians tried desperately to smear.



For those who forgot what all of the hoopla was about here is that Morgan Freeman video again.

By the way, the group that made this video, Committee to Investigate Russia, is in no way stopping with just this one video. And you can ascertain that for yourself simply by visiting their website.

    OT? "The report notes that two Twitter account names have been siting unused for some time prior to the 2016 election; @NotHillary since May 2014, and @NotTrump since April 2011.

    According to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, RT has been designated as the “Kremlin’s principal international propaganda outlet,” working hand-in-hand with Wikileaks "

    Bravo for this one.

    One Brave Republican Senator Chooses Nation over Party, “I Have to Be That One Person” Who Kills Trumpcare

    Thank God there are enough – few, but enough – Republicans who understand that the good of the nation and it’s people is more important than a sheerly political move that will do more to benefit the wealthy while hurting the most vulnerable of Americans.

    One of those people is Republican Senator, Shelley Moore Capito, who hails from the state of West Virginia.

    ...Capito is certainly a Republican Team Trump didn’t count on – she voted literally dozens of times to repeal Obamacare over the course of the past few years, aligning herself with the core conservatives of the Republican Party. But when it comes down to it, she understand that the GOP replacement will destroy lives.

    1. I won't believe it until they actually take the count and she votes no. Plenty of them give lip service to being "public servants" and putting the good of the nation over party, but when push comes to shove, they always cave and vote the party line.

      If she truly does vote no and so do Murkowski and Collins, then the bill is dead. If Rand Paul also sticks with his stated position, they are four down and McConnell won't even bring it to a vote. He won't unless he knows he has enough votes to pass. He won't allow himself to be blindsided again. He learned his lesson when McCain burned him. He doesn't want any more video of him being humiliated.

    Oh, I see. Putin doesn't want Freeman to be cramping his party. His party of Amerikans. You keep talking Morgan but watch yourself because the bald one like to poison people. He's known for that. Meanwhile, his dummy puppet does all in his tiny hands power to destroy democracy here in our country. Are there enough sane Americans that can stop this, or is the Putin effect too powerful?

    Lol. Do Hollywood Clinton lovers Rob Reiner and Morgan Freeman think that Trump is actually going to do something at their urging?!

    If the Democrats want to start winning, they need to get their act together and get over this Hillary sob and excuse fest fast. It is in the past and it is not going to help or win elections going forward.

      Of coarse, we know it's not about Hillary losing, fool. It's about our democracy losing. It's about a very subtle character inching his way into our way of life. Before we know it, we will be bowing down to the Russian god. Don't keep throwing Hillary into our faces. It's done. You move on.

    Trump does NOT have the respect, love or support by the majority of Americans and he's finally starting to realize it. (Slow on the uptake, I would say!).

    Hillary Clinton and Morgan Freeman have so much more respect, love and support than does the idiot Trump! Trump's stupidity comes out more and more daily! No wonder he and Palin match so perfectly!

    WOW! I am awaiting this speech. What an honest assessment of where our nation is and a cogent message that shows the beginning of a way out of this mess.

    "Donald Trump “won” by a mere 77,744 votes in three states, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, out of 136 million ballots cast. Trump won these states by very small percentage points, like .2 points in Michigan and .8 points in Pennsylvania. These three wins gave him 46 electoral votes.

    Trump continues to call the fact that Russia interfered a “hoax,” even as the secret meetings his own campaign had with Russian officials and spies get OUTED'.'
    "e RNC is just openly taking money from Russian affiliated billionaire to fund Trump’s legal fees for the Russia-collusion scandal.

    This just rEEks of collu$ion."

  13. The CIR has closed comments for the video they posted.

    Someone copied the video and those are where all of the Russians are commenting.

    Like anyone cares.
