Russiagate Continues To Survive Like A Sci-Fi Monster Resilient To Bullets

Russiagate continues to survive like a science fiction monster resilient to bullets.   

The latest effort at rehabilitating it is an interview by Adam Rawnsley in the current issue of Rolling Stone magazine of one Michael van Landingham, an intelligence analyst who is proud of having written the first draft of the cornerstone “analysis” of Russiagate, the so-called Intelligence Community Assessment.

The ICA blamed the Russians for helping Trump defeat Hillary Clinton in 2016.  It was released two weeks before Trump assumed office. The thoroughly politicized assessment was an embarrassment to the profession of intelligence.

Worse, it was consequential in emasculating Trump to prevent him from working for a more decent relationship with Russia.

In July 2018, Ambassador Jack Matlock (the last U.S. envoy to the Soviet Union), was moved to write his own stinging assessment of the “Assessment” under the title: “Former US Envoy to Moscow Calls Intelligence Report on Alleged Russian Interference ‘Politically Motivated.’”

The Debate Is Over — CNN Airs Investigation that Confirms Tim Walz Is Stolen Valor Fraud

CNN settled the debate about Governor Tim Walz and his alleged stolen valor scandal. The far-left channel ran a 10-minute investigation on Governor Walz, his time in the service, his abandoning his men after their deployment notice, and Tim later lying about his service in the Iraq War.

Mike Cernovich called the segment “absolutely devastating” and confirmed that CNN actually debunked all of the lies spread by Walz and his Democrat defenders.

“Absolutely devastating and it debunks all of the lies spread by Tim Walz’s defenders. I want him on the ticket as VP. The conversation is over. Tim Walz is a deployment dodging stolen valor fraud!” he wrote on X.

CNN host Laura Coates brought in retired Command Sergeant Major Doug Julien to discuss Walz and his record. Julien previously accused Walz of letting “his troops down” and going over his head to secure his retirement after decades of service in May 2005, a few months before the battalion was given a mobilization order to deploy to Iraq.

Julien’s testimony provides a stark contrast to the narrative Walz has long promoted, revealing a troubling pattern of deceit and self-serving decisions that have cast a shadow over his military legacy.

According to Julien, Walz, who filed paperwork for his Congressional bid in February 2005, deliberately went above his superior’s head to retire just as his unit was preparing for deployment to Iraq.

Julien revealed that in the fall of 2004, his brigade was informed of an upcoming deployment to Iraq, and the unit was in the process of preparing for the mission.

By February 2005, Walz was already laying the groundwork for his political career, notifying Julien of his intent to run for Congress but assuring him he would still deploy with his unit.

Decay, Decrepitude, Deceit in Journalism

Russiagate continues to survive like a science fiction monster resilient to bullets.   

The latest effort at rehabilitating it is an interview by Adam Rawnsley in the current issue of Rolling Stone magazine of one Michael van Landingham, an intelligence analyst who is proud of having written the first draft of the cornerstone “analysis” of Russiagate, the so-called Intelligence Community Assessment.

Iran will attack Israel – media

Iran and its allies are expected to launch a large-scale attack on Israel within the next few days following the assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, US officials have reportedly told the media.

According to CNN, US President Joe Biden’s administration is preparing for Iranian retaliation against Israel that could also potentially target American forces. Similar reports have also been shared by Axios, citing three US officials who believe that Iran’s response is imminent and could also involve the Lebanese Hezbollah group.

Haniyeh, one of the top figures of the Gaza-based militant group and the head of its political bureau, was murdered on Wednesday while staying in the Iranian capital. Hamas says the official was taken out by a missile strike on his residence in Tehran. The New York Times, however, has claimed that the murder was carried out using an explosive device planted inside Haniyeh’s guesthouse.

Both Hamas and Iran have blamed Israel for the attack and have promised revenge on the Jewish state. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said it is Tehran’s “duty” to avenge the murder of Haniyeh, and promised “harsh punishment” for Israel following the assassination.

Iran has also stated that the US bears partial responsibility for the brazen attack, given that it has been a “supporter and accomplice” of Israel.

West Jerusalem has neither confirmed nor denied its responsibility for the assassination, while the US has insisted that it was not aware and had no part in the murder plot.

The Smearing of Cori Bush for Being Truthful About the Gaza War

Soon after the Gaza war began 10 months ago, a prominent newspaper columnist denounced Congresswoman Cori Bush under a headline declaring that “anti-Israel comments make her unfit for reelection.” The piece appeared in the newspaper with the second-largest readership in Missouri, the Kansas City Star. Multimillion-dollar attacks on Bush followed.

Bush’s opponent, county prosecutor Wesley Bell, “is now the number-one recipient of AIPAC cash this election cycle,” according to Justice Democrats. “Almost two-thirds of all his donations came from the anti-Palestinian, far-right megadonor-funded lobby group.” The Intercept reports that “AIPAC’s super PAC, United Democracy Project, has gone on to spend a total of $7 million so far to oust Bush” in the Aug. 6 Democratic primary in her St. Louis area district.

“The $2.1 million in ads spent for her campaign is up against $12.2 million spent to attack her or support Bell,” The American Prospect points out. AIPAC “is trying to pull voters away from her without ever saying the words ‘Israel’ or ‘Palestine.’ Instead, their advertising against Bush centers around her record on infrastructure legislation, in a manner that lacks context.”

It’s easy to see why AIPAC and allied forces are so eager to defeat Bush. She courageously introduced a ceasefire resolution in the House nine days after the bloodshed began on Oct. 7, calling for “an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Israel and occupied Palestine.”

The Kansas City Star article, published shortly after Bush introduced the resolution, was written by former New York Times reporter Melinda Henneberger, now a member of the Star’s editorial board. “A military attack in response to the massacre of civilians by a group committed in writing to ‘carnage, displacement and terror’ for Jews is not my idea of ‘ethnic cleansing,’” she wrote in early November. “But it is Missouri Rep. Cori Bush’s, which is why she deserves to lose her congressional race next year.”

Bush supposedly became unfit to keep her seat in Congress because, after three weeks of methodical killing in Gaza, she tweeted: “We can’t be silent about Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign. Babies, dead. Pregnant women, dead. Elderly, dead. Generations of families, dead. Millions of people in Gaza with nowhere to go being slaughtered. The U.S. must stop funding these atrocities against Palestinians.”

Henneberger’s response was hit-and-run. She wrote a hit piece. And then she ran.

The mainstream media is helping Big Pharma promote high-profit weight loss injections

The mainstream media has long been used to advertise for and support the pharmaceutical industry, and anyone who has ever doubted this is the case was proven wrong by the way the media handled COVID-19 vaccines. Now, the “solution” they’re pushing on the masses is the weight loss drug Ozempic and others of its ilk, and much like the vaccines, they’re doing their best to gloss over the dangerous side effects.

Multiple mainstream media outlets have been doing segments on Ozempic, not only touting the injectable diabetes drug’s weight loss benefits but also pointing to other supposed benefits, like a clip on NBC that claimed it can reduce the risk of cancer.

What they’re not talking about nearly as much are the scary side effects of these so-called weight loss “miracles,” but that shouldn’t be surprising when you consider how heavily pharmaceutical companies advertise in the mainstream media. No one working for these outlets would want to write anything that risks upsetting the companies helping pay their salary.

Dr. Guy Hatchard, a natural medicine advocate with a Ph.D. in Psychology, recently called out the corporate media for this practice, focusing on a lead article in The New Zealand Herald entitled “Wellington company director Finlay Thompson loses 30kg taking Ozempic, wants medication funded.”

Written by a young journalist, Ethan Manera, it discusses how the company director in question shed 66 pounds while participating in a U.S.-based trial of the drug and receiving it for free. As the trial period comes to a close, he is asking the government to fund the drug for himself and others who need to lose weight. In Thompson’s case, he simply can’t control his eating and has failed at multiple other attempts to lose weight.

Media rewrites history, claims Kamala was never Biden’s “border czar” in charge of migrant problem

As the powers that be (TPTB) position themselves to install Kamala Harris as the next puppet “president” of the United States, the corporate media is doing its part to rewrite history in Kamala’s favor.

All that talk about Kamala being Joe Biden’s “border czar” is out the window now that most Americans can clearly see that America’s southern border was left wide open so tens of millions of illegals could flood in, allowing Democrats to register many of them to vote for her.

The Associated Press (AP) reported on March 24, 2021, that Biden had “tapped” Kamala to lead his response to the “border challenges.” Around that time, Kamala quickly gained a reputation as Biden’s “border czar,” which was common knowledge.

Fast-forward to July of 2024 and TIME is reporting that Kamala “was never Biden’s ‘border czar.'” They apparently hope Americans will simply forget the past and follow the new narrative that Kamala is the best person to lead the United States.

MSNBC Progressive Focus Group in Wisconsin Signals Tepid Support for Kamala Harris and Criticizes ‘Closed Doors’ Process of Selecting Her

MSNBC recently spoke to a focus group of progressive Wisconsin voters about Kamala Harris as the Democrat nominee and the process of selecting her for the top spot.

While they did not come right out and criticize Harris as a candidate, they hardly seemed enthusiastic about the idea.

They also spoke negatively about the way the party handled the issue, behind closed doors and without any input from Democrat voters.

From Twitter/X:

MSNBC’s focus group of Wisconsin progressives did not go as planned. Democrats feel like Joe Biden harmed the Democrat party by not allowing an actual primary, and feel trepidation about Kamala Harris as the nominee:

Elise Jordan: “How do you feel about the process in which President Biden decided to not run for reeelction?”

Focus Group: “Would have been nice if he made this decision a year ago so we could have had a primary and maybe decided who we wanted to replace him rather than just all flocking to Kamala Harris.”

“By trying to clear the field and ensure that it was Biden, not allowing us to have an actual Democrat primary process.
We would have been benefited significantly if we had figured this out far sooner so there could have actually been more time to have internal debate, have internal democracy within the party.”

JD Vance sex slur is deleted by AP after wire agency decided to ‘fact-check’ lurid claim about GOP VP pick’s sexual preferences

The Associated Press has deleted an article where they fact-checked a wild sex claim about Donald Trump‘s VP choice JD Vance.

The wire agency sparked backlash after it published a piece on the Ohio senator Wednesday that was titled, ‘No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch.’ 

However, by the next day, the AP had removed the article from its archives, with the page address showing it is now unavailable.

A spokesperson for the AP told DailyMail.com on Thursday that the fact-check on Vance did not go through the standard editing process.

The agency said it’s looking into how it was published.

The now-deleted article came after memes began circulating on social media repeating a false rumor that claimed Vance, 39, wrote about having sex with a couch on his best-selling book Hillbilly Elegy.

High-profile names such as comedienne Kathy Griffin appeared to fall for the fake news, writing: ‘I don’t think we should have a couchf***er as our vice president. That’s just me. Sorry JD.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to the Associated Press for comment on this story. 

The false information reportedly began circulating on X after the now-private account @rickrudescalves wrote: ‘Can’t say for sure but he might be the first VP pick to have admitted in a NY Times bestseller to f***ing an inside-out latex glove shoved between two couch cushions.’
