For over two years CNN and the rest of the corporate media pushed the Russian collusion narrative. They used this to undermine Trump’s presidency and to gain seats in the midterms with a seemingly never-ending stream of speculation, literally hundreds of stories suggesting his guilt and, in the end, Robert Mueller’s team found nothing at all.
The entire collusion narrative, from start to finish, was fake news. There was never a shred of evidence to support this conspiracy theory, it was something concocted during the campaign by Christopher Steele, a foreign agent, and in collusion with never-Trumpers desperate to discredit the rising Republican candidate by any means possible. The false claims of the “Steele dossier” were used as justification for the Obama administration spying on their political opponent.
This is an outrageous attempt to subvert the democratic process that makes the Watergate scandal during the Nixon administration look like child’s play by comparison. Think about it, a false report by a foreign agent was used as a means to gain access to the Trump campaign and, not only that, but it was also used to feed xenophobic hysteria that put us at a greatly increased risk of war with another nuclear power.
This is not simply confirmation bias run amok, this is a deliberate effort to deceive the American public, a coup attempt against our President, and the traitors who are responsible need to face criminal charges. It is one thing for a political campaign to lie. It is quite another for a Presidential administration to weaponize the entire Justice Department (and the IRS before that) against their opposition and launch a years-long investigation, at great expense to taxpayers, for the sole purpose of hurting Trump’s political brand.
It is the biggest scandal in United States history and yet the corporate media is still pretending that Trump is somehow the problem here and not them or the Democrats they shill for…
Enough is enough!
Trump needs to drop the hammer down hard on this or we will lose the Republic and anything left of our greatness. We need to know who was paid for what, who conspired with who, and go all the way to the top. A message must be sent to those in the government (and their media accomplices) who may be tempted to pull this kind of stunt again. It is past time to turn the tables on these sanctimonious “deep state” screwballs and hold them accountable for their dangerous and destabilizing deception.
The Corporate Media Cannot Be Trusted
For months we have heard that Trump said that neo-Nazis are “fine people” in his remarks following the Charlottesville protests. This was used as evidence that the President is a racist and a bad person. However, we now find that the reality is quite different than what has been reported. Steve Cortez, exposes this lie in an article, “Trump Didn’t Call Neo-Nazis ‘Fine People’ Here’s Proof.,” where he goes through the transcript and shows where Trump clearly says the opposite. Trump, in reality, said that neo-Nazis and white nationalists should be “condemned totally” and yet the media commentators (and Democrat politicians) continue to lie about this.
Adding to the corporate left’s credibility woes, the leadership of Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has been accused (by some within their ranks) of being sexist and racist themselves. This same organization, that regularly accuses Christian conservatives (falsely) of being hateful, is given censorship power by tech giants like PayPal and Google. The SPLC lost a $3.375 million dollar defamation lawsuit for slapping an “extremist” label on the Quilliam Foundation and are also being sued by “Proud Boys” Gavin McGinnis for their “hate group” categorization of that organization. It is unbelievable that this group of hard left hypocrites is given any authority to regulate speech online.
The past couple of months have presented all the reason one should ever need to be skeptical of any narrative put out by the corporate media establishment. These organizations, if trustworthy at one point, have become shameless propagandists for the far left. They still, while fact-checking Trump’s jokes and comparing him to Nixon, allow Obama to get away with claiming his administration was “scandal free” despite the growing body of evidence that strongly suggests the criminal malfeasance of his administration. We should be asking ourselves, if they nearly got away with impeaching an innocent President over a foreign agent’s fabrications, how many times have they done this sort of thing and not been caught?
The Democrats have done terrible damage to race relations in this country with their lies and misleading stories. They have regularly fed minority fears by their misrepresentation of fact—by painting a false picture of young men engaged in criminal behavior as sterling representatives of their entire race—by running with unhelpful anecdotes that put one race against another—and generally neglecting important context in their pursuit of agenda.
For example, remember all those women given mocking names like Southpark Susan, Permit Patty, BBQ Becky, Cornerstone Cathy, Golf Cart Gail for their ignorant comments in videos? One would be led to believe that this sort of thing only happens to black folks given the skewed coverage. However, who hasn’t encountered a nosy neighbor, a meddlesome crank or a suspicious and belligerent drunk? Is there a reason why we are only hearing these stories when it is white against black?
Meanwhile, the list of hate hoaxes grows longer day by day and the corporate media, eagerly reporting the false allegations at the onset, barely offers a retraction (let alone an apology) when the wild claims turn out to be fake news. The same media that took Jesse Smollett’s fake hate as Gospel truth for weeks despite the obvious smell test fail of a couple Trump supporters waiting to ambush some no-name actor on a cold Chicago night or recklessly portrayed innocent smiling school boys from Covington Catholic as racist villains when they were truly the victims, that mercilessly attacked an honorable Judge Kavanaugh on the basis of politically motivated accusations, suddenly loses their collective voices when Virginia’s entire Democratic leadership is exposed as either wearing blackface or as a potential rapist.
Somehow Democrats and the left are always excused. Jussie Smollett unapologetically deceived the Chicago police. His tale of being attacked adding to an existing mischaracterization and prejudice against Trump’s base. Meanwhile, Trump associates, basically entrapped, are sent to serve real-time for their poor accounting in private meetings with FBI investigators, have their homes raided, etc.
How is it even possible that Elizabeth Warren is still a viable candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination given her fraudulent claims of Native American ancestry, but…?
How can Hillary Clinton get away with taking $400,000 from the Russians, destroying her personal devices, deleting 33,000 emails and lying to Congress, but Trump exhaustively investigated for two years over a phony dossier?
There needs to be a day of reckoning or it will only get worse. Things have been too lopsided for too long, it is doing real damage to this nation and the American people must stand up against this while they still can. These leftist elites must be held accountable. They must be soundly defeated at the ballot box, criminally charged and sentenced the same as anyone else, we must ridicule their bad ideas and never ever take them at their word.
Democrat politicians and their corporate media propagandists have “cried wolf” too many times and can’t be trusted. We should doubt everything that comes from them and assume that it is blown out of proportion or a complete fabrication. They must be questioned on everything, we can’t believe them or their cronies on things like climate change, we cannot afford to accept their word on anything that could benefit their radical leftist agenda.
