Three-plus years of investigations uncovering nothing of the sort and an Inspector General’s report proving it as a canard don’t matter a whit to the political left and pundit class. They continue to blame Russian interference for the defeat of Hillary Clinton — the worst candidate and most corrupt woman in the history of politics.
Clinton first posited that shibboleth even before she lost, after President Donald Trump jokingly asked Russia to find Hillary’s erased emails. She and her minions also cast blame on Russia for hacking and exposing the damaging Democrat National Committee emails that showed how the Democrat elites had rigged the primary against the old Communist Senator from Vermont, Bernie Sanders.
There had already been rumblings of “Russia meddling” from President Barack Obama. We note that if he believed it was so he did nothing to stop it.
Three-plus years of a Robert Mueller investigation and the IG report that found massive malfeasance and misfeasance on the part of the Department of Just(Us) and the FBI should have put that nonsense to bed. Unfortunately, the nattering class of news media pundits, political left and the old guard GOP neocon warmongering cabal continue to press on with the narrative. Many of even the neocon Republican elite in media just can’t let go of it, with some continuing to maintain the disgusting and disgraced Steele dossier “has not been disproven.”
What we now know is that Russia meddling was put up as a straw man by the Deep State for use against Trump in order to delegitimize his election as an “insurance policy” (as stated in text messages between FBI lovebirds Peter Strzok and Lisa Page). Recall that late in the 2016 election process Hillary claimed that “17 U.S. intelligence agencies” found that Russia had meddled in the election. It was untrue, of course.
If Russia meddled it was through the DNC and the Clinton camp, which hired former British spook Christopher Steele to dig up opposition research on Trump. Steele used sketchy sources connected to Russian oligarchs to come up with the preposterous charges made in the report that the FBI used as a pretext to begin surveillance of Trump and some campaign operatives. Upon interviewing Steele, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz determined the entire tome was based on hearsay, exaggeration, bar talk, nonsense and fiction.
There weren’t “17 U.S. intelligence agencies” agreeing on anything, and the report referenced by the Witch from Chappaqua claimed nonsensically that Russia meddling consisted of spending a couple hundred thousand dollars on Facebook ads promoting fake news, some Russian bot driving political discussion on Twitter (which was used by only one in five U.S. adults in 2016), and some pro-Trump pundits appearing on RT, a Kremlin-backed Russia internet news program/television station that gets minimal viewership.
The FBI has also long claimed that Russia hacked the DNC servers and handed the purloined emails over to WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks denied they came from Russia, and the organization’s Julian Assange hinted they came from Seth Rich, the former DNC operative who was murdered in the middle of an intersection in Washington, D.C., in what law enforcement calls a robbery even though nothing was taken. There is speculation that Rich was murdered because he pilfered the emails from the DNC.
But disgraced former FBI Director James Comey admitted in Congressional testimony the FBI had no direct evidence that Russia hacked the DNC because the DNC denied the FBI access to the servers. The servers were instead analyzed by a firm named Crowdstrike, which has ties to Ukraine and Russia through its co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Dmitri Alperovitch, a Russian national sympathetic to Ukraine.
Alperovitch is also a senior fellow at the globalist Atlantic Council think tank, which is more than just coincidental.
Older readers may well remember the last time we heard as much about Russian influence on our politics as we’re hearing today. It was the late 1940s and early 1950s in the era that has become known as McCarthyism.
The American State Department and other aspects of government became infiltrated with communists in the 1930s and 1940s. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was a closet communist who was so enamored with Josef Stalin that he and Churchill ceded half of Europe to the Russians at the Yalta Conference. So American blood and treasure was expended in World War II to free Europe from the scourge of Nazism only to place it under the bootheel of communism.
McCarthy began outing communists as early as 1946. In 1947 he told “Meet the Press” that “We’ve been at war with Russia for some time now, and Russia has been winning this war at a faster rate than we were, during the last stages of the last war. Everyone is painfully aware of the fact that we are at war — and that we’re losing it.”
Months before his February 9, 1950 speech in Wheeling, West Virginia, the FBI had presented the senator with a report that outlined detailed and extensive penetration of the State Department by communists. McCarthy and his aides outed dozens of communists during his crusade. Author M. Stanton Evans confirmed at least 50 people named by McCarthy had communist ties, pled the 5th rather than answer questions or fled to either Communist China or Russia rather than be arrested. In his book, Freedom Betrayed, President Herbert Hoover outed some of the same people as McCarthy plus others not named by him.
By 1954 the patriotic McCarthy was almost alone in taking a stand against communist infiltration of the American system. President Dwight Eisenhower and the Republicans in the Senate had grown tired of McCarthy’s quest. On December 2 the senate voted to censure him, describing his behavior as “contrary to senatorial traditions.” In other words, the Republican Party establishment — then as now — cared more about party than country.
The communists and their sympathizers moved to the Democrat party, where they were embraced, while the former Trotskyites and Zionists moved to the Republican party. That was the essence of the false left/right paradigm that dominated American politics through 44 years of cold war.
The cold war was a boon to the globalists, the military-industrial complex and Wall Street (which always comes out on top by profiting off both sides of any conflict).
In 1978, the communist-sympathizing (or worse) adulterous philandering drunkard Senator Ted Kennedy — the “Lion of the Senate” who drove his car off a bridge and left Mary Jo Kopechne to drown — solicited Russia’s help in a primary run against President Jimmy Carter. He went back again to the Russians in 1983 as he pondered another run at the Democrat nomination and to help the Democrats against Ronald Reagan. Chances are you never heard about any of this from the mainstream media or your history books.
When Reagan stood up to Soviet aggression, the left and their media propagandists went apoplectic, demonstrating on which side they stood regarding communism and the American system.
In 1991 the Soviet Union collapsed, and Boris Yeltsin was elevated to president of Russia upon the resignation of Mikhail Gorbachev. For more than 20 years the U.S. and Russia were on mostly friendly terms; so friendly, in fact, that in 1996 a group of Bill Clinton campaign operatives helped save Yeltsin’s political career.
Although his approval ratings were in a ditch, two-thirds of Russians considered him corrupt, and he trailed five candidates in the polls four months prior to the election, Yeltsin was reelected with the help of American campaign professionals — operating in secret — and cash from American companies.
In 2012, GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, in a debate with Obama, first broached the neocon-inspired notion that Russia might be more our enemy than friend. Obama, establishment Democrats and the state propaganda mainstream media (apologies for the redundancy), laughed Romney off the stage and into the dustbin containing a litany of limp-wristed faux conservative neocon losers.
But Russia and Vladimir Putin had every right to consider the U.S. an enemy. In 2011 the Obama/Hillary Clinton State Department had funded — if not instigated — a protest movement against Putin in an effort to have him resign or get him defeated for reelection. Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators gathered across the country and called for his resignation.
Trump came on the scene promising to end America’s participation in endless Middle Eastern wars. It’s a promise he’s failed to deliver. Every time he announces his intent to bring Americans home from one theater or another a false flag will occur and he pivots and sends even more troops to another hotspot.
The “Russia-as-an-enemy” narrative makes for great television, so the lamestream legacy media eat it up and spin it daily. It also creates a great divide between the voting left and right. The left has bought hook, line and sinker that Trump is a puppet of Russia, despite Trump’s numerous acts that could have set Putin off were he the warmonger he’s portrayed in the media.
We remind our readers that Russia hasn’t invaded another country since the Soviet Union broke up, while the U.S. has invaded (either with troops and equipment or just with drones killing people) at least seven that we know of.
The globalists don’t want peace to break out, and they want the U.S. electorate divided and at each other’s throats. Here I must candidly reiterate to you that governments, all governments, need crisis no matter how much lip service they give to “peace.” Crisis is a well-known Machiavellian strategy to gain and solidify political power and persuade public opinion.
Crisis provides the stage where governments can control all sides. At least they can arrange events to “naturally” unfold.
Governments must have scapegoats and phony enemies. The people must have perceived threats to their security, and so naturally government is there to “protect.”
Governments must have enemies to the extent that they finance them. There can be no military budgets without perceived enemies.
