#Russia collusion hoax

[commonsensecommentary]

I wrote this back in 2017. Given that “Russian Collusion” is certain to be resurrected by frantic Democrats—sort of a “golden oldie” of unhinged conspiracy theories directed against Donald Trump—I thought I might repost this as a warning of what will soon be (re)peddled by the legacy media in order to please their Deep State maters, who are terrified of what might soon await them.

Trump knew Epstein. He admitted it.

-The photos of them together are from before 2003.

-In 2004 Trump not only barred Epstein from Mar-a-lago estate, he also placed a bid on property (and won) in Palm Beach that Epstein was looking to purchase.

-In 2005 Trump revealed Epstein secrets to PBSCO investigation.

-In 2006, two of Epstein’s victims confirmed they knew Trump had barred Epstein from his estate in mar-a-lago.

-In 2009 Bradley Edwards (Prosecutor on the Epstein case) made a public statement that Trump was the only individual who helped in the prosecutions against Epstein.

-Per victim testimonies on the newly released Epstein/Maxwell documents reveal that Trump was not seen on Epstein’s island or anywhere with Epstein.

-The newly released documents show that the FBI withheld victim evidence in 2009 and in 2014.

-Who was the President in 2009 and 2014?-Obama.

Who controls the mainstream media? Who invented Trump Derangement Syndrome? Who stroked the fires of 2020? Well...

The LeftTards are going ape! Tariffs are a war crime! Tariffs are going to break EVERYTHING! This is going on right here on Tumblr, btw, and not just Facebook and the mainstream media headlines...

HOW DO WE KNOW IT'S EUROPE CONTROLLING THIS?

Because Europe has long since passed new tariffs. They're already slated to go into effect in 2026.

Europe passed new tariffs and nobody cared. Tariffs on American goods aren't a problem. But Americans placing tariffs on their goods is a war crime.

If it's good for Europe -- like tariffs or the war in the Ukraine -- then the media loves it, or at least never notices. But if Trump wants to stop paying for THEIR defense, if Trump wants to counter THEIR tariffs, if Trump says that the United States won't be their bitch anymore, suddenly the mainstream media hates everything Trump.

This also explains the "Russian Collusion" hoax. Because there was collusion, this is a fact, it just wasn't Russia. It was our supposedly "Good friends & allies."

We the people agree wholeheartedly!

Insurrection Barbie says, 

People keep saying that Donald Trump wants retribution, but it’s not Donald Trump, who wants retribution, it’s the American people.

From the first day that Donald Trump walked into Washington DC Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell did everything in their power to stop his agenda while at the same time propping up the fake Russia collusion lies.

These people ran on repealing Obamacare, fixing the issues at the border… but what they did was waste a lot of time money and energy propping up the Democrats fake hoaxes and stalling because they had no intention of carrying out their campaign promises.

Paul Ryan immediately said there was no money to build the wall. Mitch McConnell spent a year trying to repeal Obamacare and he couldn’t do it.

For the past eight years, we had have had elected officials and corrupt government bureaucrats use our tax dollars to prosecute American citizens, and to take down Donald Trump.

Donald Trump won this election and the moment Republicans had to put their money where their mouth was, the American people saw the same condescending know it all swamp creatures. And it’s not just their reluctance to play on the same team as Trump and the American people, it’s the condescending way in which they go on MSNBC and talk down to us.

If these people don’t get it together, the bloodbath in 2026 is going to be monumental. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

You will not win another election if you ignore the will of people one more time.

Prominent right-wing influencers Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson and Tim Pool have huge followings on YouTube and a fondness for the Trumpist talking point that allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election on the former president’s behalf are a “hoax.” That’s not all they have in common: They also reportedly enjoyed lucrative deals with a content creation company that was a front for Russian propagandists. The Justice Department indicted two employees of the Russian propaganda outlet RT on Wednesday, charging them with laundering almost $10 million through foreign shell companies and violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The DOJ alleges this was done “to covertly fund and direct” a media company that produced videos whose content and subject matter were “often consistent with the Government of Russia’s interest in amplifying U.S. domestic divisions in order to weaken U.S. opposition to core Government of Russia interests.” The company’s description matches that of Tenet Media, a Tennessee-based firm co-founded by Lauren Chen, a creator for Glenn Beck’s Blaze TV (which fired Chen on Thursday) and a contributor to Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA. Tenet Media publishes content by Rubin, Johnson, Pool and other less-prominent influencers. According to the indictment, the production companies of three unnamed commentators were paid $8.7 million through the scheme. The indictment states two of the commentators were deceived about the source of the funding; the trio all described themselves as unwitting “victims” of the operation in separate statements on social media. But the Tenet Media saga demonstrates once again that Russian election interference is not, as these commentators and their allies have insisted, a “hoax.” It is a fact, a deliberate and ongoing operation by the Kremlin to sway U.S. politics. And the Trumpist right’s yearslong quest to rebut that reality have ended up ensuring that their entire information ecosystem is honeycombed with Russian propaganda. Special counsel Robert Mueller’s 2019 final report conclusively documented the Russian government’s systematic effort to influence the 2016 presidential election in order to help Trump and the many ways Trump’s associates participated in that endeavor. This was an inconvenient finding for Trump and his political and media allies, who had spent years fabricating a complex alternate reality in which claims of Russian election interference or corrupt ties between Russia and Trump and his associates were “deep state” lies. They responded by falsely claiming Mueller’s report had found “no collusion” between Trump and Russia, and used that lie to brand the entirety of the probe as a “hoax.” [...] No one on the right has done more to push pro-Russia talking points than former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, a longtime defender of Russian president Vladimir Putin and opponent of U.S. support for Ukraine. Russian propaganda channels sought to gin up Western support for its 2022 invasion by highlighting Carlson’s nightly screeds against U.S. aid to Ukraine, and in turn served as a source for Carlson’s program. A Russian state TV host even suggested on-air that Carlson take a job at his network after Fox dropped him the following year. [...] But Russia-friendly narratives about the country’s invasion of Ukraine ultimately spread far beyond Carlson. It became widely accepted orthodoxy on the MAGA right that sending military aid to Ukraine is a waste of money, that the United States is responsible for Russia’s invasion, and that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the real villain of the conflict. [...] Russian interests and Kremlin-connected sources also fueled the right’s obsession with Hunter Biden’s business interests and the absurd related allegation that Joe Biden accepted a bribe from a Ukrainian oligarch — both of which right-wing media and politicians treated as major stories, with House Republicans making it the heart of their impeachment case against the president..

Matt Gertz wrote in MSNBC’s opinion section that MAGA influencers such as Tim Pool and Benny Johnson have only themselves to blame for the TENET Media debacle in which they pumped out pro-Russia propaganda.

"Some of the tools that they're using, that this elitist cabal is using, is weaponizing our federal agencies and law enforcement to go after their political opponents. The Durham report that was just released exposed this in broad daylight. How the Russia collusion was a manufactured hoax and the FBI was weaponized to use that to undermine Donald Trump's candidacy and Presidency." 🤔

The woman in the yellow square is Avril Haines. To the left is Susan Rice; to the right is current deputy AG Lisa Monaco.

Rice called Haines and Monaco her “sisters.”

Haines is now Biden’s DNI. She briefed Trump yesterday on Iranian threats against him.

In her 1st act as Biden DNI, Haines issued a report on the heightened threat of domestic violent extremists (ie Trump supporters) in March 2021. She cited Jan 6.

Her predictions never materialized.

She worked directly for John Brennan. She attended his secret meetings in WH in 2016 to concoct the Russia collusion hoax

Is there an Iranian threat against Trump? Maybe.

Is there any reason to trust Haines or this ODNI? Absolutely not.

Americans who have lived through Donald Trump’s political career are no strangers to legacy media disinformation. From the Russia collusion hoax to the “very fine people” Charlottesville lie, the litany of dishonest info ops from left-wing activists masquerading as journalists is too long to count.

And despite Americans’ waning trust in their ability to report news accurately and fairly, these Democrat Party yes-men show no signs of stopping.

Like years before it, 2024 saw no shortage of media hijinks. Whether it was their coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign or participation in Democrats’ war on the Supreme Court, America’s propaganda press maintained its ethically bankrupt reputation.

So, in no particular order, here are the biggest hoaxes and misinformation campaigns run by legacy media hacktivists this year.

1. Bloodbath

Taking Trump’s remarks out of context is one of legacy media’s favorite pastimes — and March’s “bloodbath” nontroversy was no exception.

Speaking to rallygoers in Ohio, the former and soon-to-be president warned that the U.S. automobile industry would face an economic “bloodbath” if Democrats won the White House in 2024. Media acolytes quickly jumped on the former president’s comments, which they distorted to make it appear as if Trump was threatening a literal bloodbath if he lost his reelection bid.

Left-wing outlets such as NBC News, CBS News, The New York Times, and others ran headlines using this dishonest framing.

“Trump says country faces ‘bloodbath’ if Biden wins in November,” a March 16 Politico headline reads.

So Pencil Neck is still repeating the same lies and failing “news” organizations are giving the lying pedophile air time.

Joe Biden and America’s Out-of-Control Spooks

The president should step aside rather than find out how the deep state would save his candidacy.

Wall Street Journal

By Holman W. Jenkins, Jr.

Thursday’s catastrophic debate can be a lifesaver for America. A different kind of 2024 election is still possible, starting with a rollicking contest of impressive Democratic governors for their party’s nomination. The outcome wouldn’t merely result in replacing an invalided Mr. Biden. It would allow Democrats to hire a new standard-bearer who doesn’t need to dig America ever deeper into the pit of lawfare, media lying and intelligence meddling to get himself re-elected.

This is the real issue now.

Not exactly the bipartisan wise person I’ve been hoping for, Bob Bauer will have to do. A former White House counsel under Presidents Obama and Biden, he has a timely new book, “The Unraveling.” Our democracy, he writes, endangers itself with its free fall toward win-at-all-costs cynicism, and the trouble doesn’t begin and end with Donald Trump.

He’s right, and only missing is 75% of his case since he doesn’t mention the collusion hoax or intelligence officials lying about the Hunter Biden laptop to help Mr. Biden get elected, episodes in which his own hands may not be entirely clean.

Now he has a chance to put his money where his mouth is. I see the same descent into reckless, zero-sum politics that he does. So does fund manager Ray Dalio, who told clients this week that the behavior of our parties is “threatening the rule of law as we know it and is bringing us closer to some form of civil war.”

What I don’t see is an underlying cause or dispute, such as slavery in the Civil War, of transcendent magnitude to explain it.

The tainting of our elections itself is what’s driving Americans apart.

This is where Mr. Bauer’s moment has arrived. He played Mr. Trump in Mr. Biden’s debate prep. He’s obviously trusted by the candidate. He could point out a few things about how we got into today’s mess, starting with former FBI Director James Comey’s ill-advised meddling in the Hillary Clinton email case to help another Democratic candidate. Play history backward without Mr. Comey and everything is different now. Mr. Trump likely loses in 2016. The collusion follies never happen, profoundly damaging half of America’s faith in Washington.

Mr. Biden is playing with the same fire all over again. He had every moral and political reason not to seek a second term—his age, Hunter Biden, the intelligence community’s unseemly lying to the American public to secure his first victory over Mr. Trump.

Almost anybody in the Democratic Party was a better bet to beat Donald Trump a second time, and Mr. Biden wasn’t a good bet to beat almost any Republican who might earn the GOP nomination instead of Mr. Trump.

But Mr. Biden insisted on being the candidate anyway, and we got the bubbling up of Trump prosecutions from dutiful Democratic prosecutors around the country. Whatever their merits, the charges had an overridingly political purpose: Return Mr. Trump to center stage and give Mr. Biden the one opponent he might reasonably hope to beat.

The miscalculation is now apparent. Mr. Biden’s own deterioration makes him the opponent even a scandalized and distrusted Mr. Trump could likely beat, possibly in a landslide.

What now? Ours was already in danger of becoming a government of siloviki, to borrow Russia’s word for intelligence operatives actively manipulating domestic politics. This subject our media continues to shy away from though academics are taking it up: the revolutionary and unprecedented activities of Mr. Comey and Obama intelligence veterans James Clapper and John Brennan starting in 2016 and again in 2020 with the laptop lie.

In my view, Mr. Biden is more blundering than calculating in this mess. He foolishly indulged his son over the years, getting himself in a situation in 2020 where his campaign had to be rescued from his family-created scandal by the shockingly disingenuous intervention of intelligence officials falsely fingering Russia for the laptop.

But ask yourself: Having stumbled into a dynamic where they might need a failing Mr. Biden to hold off a Trump restoration, how will our Clapperized elite prevent the outcome they have been telling themselves and us for eight years would be the end of America? Do you want to find out?

The 2024 election is already shaping up to be a deeply souring democratic experience for millions of Americans, the third such presidential election in a row. It can get a lot better or a lot worse depending on what Democrats decide to do, with Mr. Bauer hopefully whispering wisdom in Mr. Biden’s ear.

The next few days will be telling. If Mr. Biden remains in the seat, Mr. Trump may romp to a broad, unambiguous victory and mandate. Then you’ll want to hold your breath on the morning of Nov. 6.
