#russiagate — Public Fediverse posts

#Russiagate makes sense only if you look at why it was so important to have such a shitty position.

And it's that the Dems correctly viewed Trump as a new type of threat, but ALSO had the higher priority of protecting their leadership class after they so spectacularly shit the bed by losing to Trump in 16. After all, how can you respect Hillary when she just lost to an insane game show host that even his own party had disowned after the pussy tape?

When I wrote my previous post, I was mainly going by my impressions based on Carole Cadwalladr's Substack articles on Bilderberg that you had shared, especially her eulogisation of Anne Applebaum. I hadn't taken much notice of her other works, or looked for any pattern in them. However, recently, I came across this June 2022 post by Jonathan Cook, which establishes conclusively that Cadwalladr is part of what you call the "Vichy media". In addition to peddling the much-hyped but empty "Cambridge Analytica scoop" on Brexit in favour of NATO war-mongering, she has been part of the covert and overt operations to smear and character-assassinate Wikileaks in general and Julian Assange in particular. Cadwalladr was (is?) part of the "British Cluster" of the Integrity Initiative, the covert, British government-backed propaganda mill to wage online war on critics of imperialism.

Sharing just for your information.

It's interesting that even a journalist as deeply embedded in the Intelligence-Media nexus as Cadwalladr now finds herself out of a job. To me, it is yet more evidence that the imperial core now has no use for its liberal facade.

I don’t know – it’s hard for me to see any U.S. ties to Russia…except for the Flynn thing and the Manafort thing
and the Tillerson thing
and the Sessions thing
and the Kushner thing
and the Carter Page thing
and the Roger Stone thing
and the Felix Sater thing
and the Boris Ephsteyn thing
and the Rosneft thing
and the Gazprom thing
and the Sergey Gorkov banker thing
and the Azerbajain thing
and the “I love Putin” thing
and the Donald Trump, Jr. thing
and the Sergey Kislyak thing
and the Russian Affiliated Interests thing
and the Russian Business Interests thing
and the Emoluments Clause thing
and the Alex Schnaider thing
and the hack of the DNC thing
and the Guccifer 2.0 thing
and the Mike Pence “I don’t know anything” thing
and the Russians mysteriously dying thing
and Trump’s public request to Russia to hack Hillary’s email thing
and the Trump house sale for $100 million at the bottom of the housing bust to the Russian fertilizer king thing
and the Russian fertilizer king’s plane showing up in Concord, NC during Trump rally campaign thing
and the Nunes sudden flight to the White House in the night thing
and the Nunes personal investments in the Russian winery thing
and the Cyprus bank thing
and Trump not releasing his tax returns thing
and the Republican Party’s rejection of an amendment to require Trump to show his taxes thing
and the election hacking thing
and the GOP platform change to the Ukraine thing
and the Steele Dossier thing
and the Leninist Bannon thing
and the Sally Yates can’t testify thing
and the intelligence community’s investigative reports thing
and Trump’s reassurance that the Russian connection is all “fake news” thing...
So there’s probably nothing there
since the swamp has been drained; these people would never lie.
Probably why Nunes canceled the investigation meetings,
all of this must be normal
just a bunch of separate dots with no connection.

Seva Gunitsky joining the dots

'Russiagate became a lib obsession, proof that Trump was a foreign asset...The Epstein case became a right-wing fixation, proof that a pedophilic cabal ran the world...Each side treated the other’s scandal as a distraction or hoax...But the 3.5 million pages released by the DoJ confirm these are in fact the same story. Both highlight the post-1991 emergence of a transnational kleptocratic class that links Western oligarchs to foreign state interests, whether Russian or Saudi or Israeli or whoever...I think the real story is more systemic. The documents suggest a reframing of Epstein’s case from one man’s crimes to transnational geopolitics'

@danwentzel you think Russia running bot accounts made Trump win the popular vote?

The danger of the #russiagate conspiracy theory is it has allowed the failed Democratic leadership to ignore the problems that led to them losing to an insane game show host twice . . . and would have lost in 2020 if not for COVID.

Trump busca ajustar cuentas por el “Russiagate”

El escándalo conocido “Russiagate” quiso relacionar la primera campaña de Trump, en 2016, de connivencia con Rusia, lo que motivó la apertura de una discreta investigación por parte del FBI en julio de ese año, y que solo fue descubierta en toda su extensión años después.

@eorlins
Look at the bright side:

If #DonnieDumbass DOES take the case to court charging #Comey with "making up" #RussiaGate, it will force Comey to lay out all the evidence proving the case of the T**** Campaign's numerous connections to Russian gov't officials.

@emptywheel.bsky.social

Except "#russiagate" was not a hoax.
If you want to ignore the TLA reports on how russians rigged the election...

... You have Agent Krasnov inviting on a public broadcast a russian dictator to steal confidential information of an American political party...

Wonder what DJs Vance russian agent callsign is Agent Кушетка?

Even the stuff they are releasing, while trying to show Clinton and Obama are guilty of - something, shows Russia was involved.

Just continuing distraction to avoid the Epstein files.

So AFAICT, there were two basic questions that the govt had re Russia's involvement in the 2016 campaign. Could they flip votes and were they engaged in leaks/propaganda to help Trump? No and yes. Regarding the latter, was Trump working with them? No.

The media obsession re this was #RussiaGate.

So we've known all this but #Tulsi is now trying to spin their knowledge of the former and then continued investigation of the latter, as corrupt. Bullshit suck up and distraction from #Epstein.

Susie Madrak reports on Elon Musk's denial of ketamine use after a viral video showed his unusual behavior at Trump’s Bedminster. Although Musk playfully balanced spoons while friend Shivon Zilis looked worried, he dismissed allegations from a Twitter user mocking the clip and criticized The New York Times' past coverage. This denial contrasts with his previous admissions about using ketamine for mental health.
