It's pretty amazing how politicians across the political spectrum blame problems of their own making on "Russia." They must think we are total idiots. Glenn Greenwald explains four incidents this week alone.
Matt Taibbi, writing at Racket News:
Open records investigations suggest the same academic researchers responsible for the infamous Alfa Server hoax were likely also the government's initial source that Russia did the "DNC Hack." The same Clinton-campaign-connected researchers who helped generate an infamous fake news story were likely the U.S. government’s source for the initial announcement that Russians hacked the Demcratic National Committee, according to documents produced across years of Open Records requests and congressional letters...
Dismissed, the Alfa fiasco added to a growing pile of elaborate media fakes, one that came to include the Steele dossier, the so-called “Project Birmingham” stunt in which a company called New Knowledge assigned fake Russian Twitter accounts to Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, and the “Hamilton 68” site funded by the German Marshall Fund which used a bogus tracking tool to make figures like Republican congressman Devin Nunes appear tied to “Russian bots.”
Thanks to years of those Freedom of Information filings, it seems clear now the government was relying upon many of the same people associated with these known fake news schemes when it identified Russia as the source of the DNC-DCCC “cyberattacks.”
Dr. Robert Malone's description of Scott Gottlieb, the political opportunist who wrote (in 2021): "The CIA May Be More Useful Than the CDC in Next Epidemic." The title to Malone's article: "Scott Gottlieb's Role in Creating a New Intelligence OfficeFDA commissioner, Investment fund manger, Pfizer Board of Director member, CIA advisor and Corporate Media Shill." An Excerpt:
[Gottlieb's] ascendency from an otherwise undistinguished internal medicine resident with a background in economics to highly lauded FDA commissioner at age 44 is quite remarkable. Even more remarkable has been his successful strong advocacy and lobbying in corporate media for the CIA to assume a dominant role in public health during the COVIDcrisis- despite never having an official government position involving CIA, DIA or other elements of the intelligence community. The depth of his involvement with the agency is unknown, but his advocacy for the interests of the CIA, Pfizer and the vaccine industry during the time of COVID have been consistent throughout the “pandemic.” . . .What we do know is that the CIA and the five eyes intelligence alliance were deeply involved in almost every aspect of western nation mismanagement of the COVIDcrisis, from the engineering of the virus to the ensuing global harmonized propaganda, psyops and censorship campaigns.
The Democrats seem to be getting exactly what they think they want with ever-increasing censorship.
This parent is speaking her mind with passion in this public school classroom. Does the gender flag meaningfully relate to any of the topics that are supposed to be taught at this school or at any public school? Is it illegal compelled speech to require students to nod in affirmation to this flag? Watching this video makes me wonder how many Americans silently agree with this parent, afraid to speak up because they will be called names.
After further thought and based on several comments, this video might have been staged. If true, this staged video still makes for compelling theater and makes an important point.
