Reality hit hard for the left when whistleblower Reality Winner was sentenced to five years, three months in prison with three years of supervision after release and 100 hours of community service. Surely it was another pussy hat liberal Russiagate deep state hoax that is descending on the honorable leftist blogosphere? Actually, it was just the opposite. Winner heroically revealed an attempt by Russian military intelligence to interfere with U.S. elections. And guess who slapped her with the longest sentence for a federal defendant who disclosed information to the media? It couldn’t be the very same man who is challenging globalism, the deep state and the new liberal world order as we know it, albeit on twitter? Yes, it could be actually.
This is a hard pill to swallow for what Jeffrey St. Clair calls the Sputnik Left. Reality Winner showed us the punishment taken for real resistance to the authoritarian Trump administration. Winner not only called Trump the “Orange Fascist”, she was brave enough to reveal the conspiracy liberals have pretended to be chasing and leftists have been denying for the last year and a half. Those who are outraged by Julian Assange’s case and not by Reality Winner’s case are just as hypocritical as liberals who may be divided the opposite way.
