Jill’s political opponents post the
same out-of-context photo countless times to imply some sort of
nefarious conspiracy - but what they don’t want you to know is
the real story behind the photo that shows how ridiculous
their false narratives are.
Unfortunately, a number of media
outlets have hardly been better, blasting out sensationalist headlines
in late 2018, when the Senate Intelligence Committee announced it
would investigate Jill’s trip, then quietly burying the story when the
investigation found no wrongdoing whatsoever.
Here are some key facts about Jill’s trip to
Russia:
- Jill Stein was invited to a 2015
media conference in Russia, which she attended at her own expense to
spread a message of peace and diplomacy.
- As part of the same trip she attended the Paris climate conference
and met with a range of leaders including Jeremy Corbyn, the deputy
climate negotiator for China, and Green parliamentarians from the UK
and Australia.
- At the Moscow conference, Jill gave a talk in which she criticized
the excessive militarism of both Vladimir Putin and U.S. leaders. Her
remarks were part of a panel discussion that included Ken Livingstone,
former Mayor of London, Willy Wimmer, former German Parliamentary
State Secretary, and Cyril Svoboda, former Czech Foreign
Minister.
- At the dinner she was seated at a table with diplomats and office
holders from various countries, including Michael Flynn, who had most
recently served as the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency
under Obama, and who had no affiliation with Trump at the time.
- Vladimir Putin sat at the table for a few minutes, during which he
spoke only with his Russian-speaking companions.
- Dr. Stein publicized her experiences at the time via a press
release and social media posts on Facebook
and Twitter,
as well as emails to campaign supporters.
- The Senate Intelligence Committee later investigated her trip and
found no wrongdoing whatsoever.
Jill’s commitment to
diplomacy is more needed than ever and stands in stark
contrast to the two warmongering ruling parties, which are driving us
toward WWIII and draining resources urgently needed here at
home.
As Jill says, we need
leaders who have the backbone to talk to our adversaries as well as
our allies - because without diplomacy and international
engagement, we won’t be able to tackle the existential threats of
global climate crisis and nuclear war.
Fortunately, we have the
opportunity this year to elect a president who has the courage to do
just that.
