Jeremy Corbyn faces Russiagate smear campaign before UK vote

Pushback with Aaron Maté

Just before British elections, the UK’s military-intelligence apparatus is smearing Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn with evidence-free Russiagate allegations. NATO-funded "researchers" are claiming that leaked documents publicized by Corbyn that exposed secret US-UK talks over the British health service are in fact the result of a Russian disinformation campaign. The Russia-baiting against Corbyn comes as the Labour leader also faces an ongoing campaign to smear him with fake charges of anti-Semitism. The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal discusses the British and US government-tied forces behind the anti-Corbyn effort, and how Bernie Sanders could be their next target.

Guest: Max Blumenthal, Editor of The Grayzone and author of The Management of Savagery.

"Russia" must be code for the people.

I've started blaming Russia for everything in my daily life... ran a red light get pulled over tell them it was Russia's fault. wife asking me to take out the trash, sorry honey but that's a Russian talking point. Late to work Russia changed my clocks. Sure does make you a better person to blame other for your actions 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[macwest]

I'm starting to like the things "Russia" is in favor of.

Senate intelligence committee. Boy that is an oxymoron of the highest proportion

17:15 So if the British intelligence is trying to subvert the will of the people it is fundamentally autocratic and anti-democratic.

You need a Russian laugh machine, whenever the establishment misuses a Red scare basis for any problem---comic relief!

[allancrow]

Wow, I don't know how Max and Aaron can do this, my head would explode and I'd probably be breaking things. Props to you both. :)

I grew up around a Jewish community with a strong left positions, that was a long time ago things have changed a lot but you guys remind me of the more brilliant side of that community. The Jewish chronicle have been criticized by the IPCC for erroneous reporting.

Unfortunately, Corbyn fumbled the Brexit football, and that may cost him the election.

[garycurtis]

I luv it when these two guys get together to chat. Great work. 👍

[robertcartwright]

Bravo, Max! Why doesn't Corbyn, and others, face these slurs head-on? The repeated lack of balls by my side, the left, is so dispiriting.

[Mbs-cl]

Jeremy Corbyn is great. I really hope he wins tomorrow's UK elections he will make an honest priminister.

[tabbysmithfield]

These guys step on a lot of powerful toes. I fear for their safety.
