Just two days after Donald J. Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the race for President of the United States, The Washington Post ran a piece with the headline, “Moscow had contacts with Trump team during campaign, Russian diplomat says.” The first two paragraphs of the article state,
Russian government officials conferred with members of Donald Trump’s campaign team, a senior Russian diplomat said Thursday, a disclosure that could reopen scrutiny of the Kremlin’s role in the president-elect’s bitter race against Hillary Clinton.
The statement came from Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, who said in an interview with the Interfax news agency that “there were contacts” with the Trump team.
Likewise, on the same day, Reuters reported
the same, and added,
The Federal Bureau of Investigation opened a
preliminary inquiry in recent months into allegations that Trump or his
associates might have had questionable dealings with Russian people or
businesses, but found no evidence to warrant opening a full investigation,
according to sources familiar with the matter. The agency has not publicly
discussed the probe.
Of course we now know that this was the beginnings of the
foolish Trump-Russia-collusion narrative that was meant to end the Donald Trump
presidency. Despite little more to go on than a fake dossier, liberal
delusions, and a hatred of the truth (this is why they hate Trump and his
supporters), for years the media shamelessly and falsely attempted to link
Trump to the Russians. Gallons of ink, countless hours of television reports,
millions of words, and a mountain of webpages were devoted to this evil effort.
In spite of all of this, along with an unnecessary Special
Counsel investigation, Trump was exonerated. As Peter Van Buren put
it,
Robert Mueller did not charge any Americans with collusion, coordination, or criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. The special counsel also considered whether members of the Trump campaign “coordinated,” a much lower standard defined as an “agreement, tacit or express,” with Russian election interference activities. They did not.
Everything—everything—else we have been told since the summer of 2016 falls, depending on your conscience and view of humanity, into the realm of lies, falsehoods, propaganda, exaggerations, political manipulation, stupid reporting, fake news, bad judgment, simple bull, or, in the best light, hasty conclusions.
Undeterred by the facts, many in the media—and thus, many
like-minded Americans—still insist that Trump-Russia collusion was a real
thing. Wikipedia even has an extremely lengthy
page devoted to the supposed “Russian interference” in the 2016
presidential election. Hoping to capitalize on this delusion, democrats even
perpetuated a baseless impeachment of President Trump.
Fast-forward to the fall of 2020 and Trump’s re-election
bid. In one of the strangest and closest elections in U.S. history, and despite the existence of plenty
of evidence
of election
fraud (much of it chronicled
on my
site)—which could potentially alter the results of a presidential
election (an unprecedented occurrence)—the media has largely pretended that the
fraud is non-existent.
Thus, they want Trump and his 70+ million supporters to shut
up and go home. CBS’s Major Garrett well
epitomizes the mainstream media’s views on this matter:
It goes against our history, it goes against good governance, and the longer it goes, the deeper it will create divisions in this country about what actually happened in this election, and the president and the Republicans who stand with him will have to bear the responsibility for whatever comes from that…Every sensible Republican on Capitol Hill knows that in his or her heart of hearts. And their mute testament and loyalty to the President will only serve to encourage him to resist was inevitable, the transition of power, and history will judge them harshly.
Where was Garrett and his ilk when the phony Steele dossier
was being discussed for months? Where were they on the sham of an impeachment?!
A sitting U.S. President was on trial in the U.S. Senate based on a proven
fake scandal—in other words Major, what “actually happened” in the 2016
election was ignored by democrats and their allies—yet I don’t recall anyone at
CBS concerned with democrats “bearing responsibility” for their foolish efforts,
or declaring that history would judge them harshly!
There are multiple
lawsuits over voter fraud, hundreds of affidavits
filed detailing thousands of incidents of voter fraud, multiple
accusations of suspicious
vote totals involving suspect vote-counting software, and recounts
in the works. Yet, team Biden seems certain that their perpetual basement
dweller is indeed the President-elect. And, as was the case in the Trump-Russia
collusion delusion, a like-minded media is completely content to allow this
charade to continue.
As Jay D. Homnick notes,
this is a bit of a gambit on the part of Biden and his presidential apologists.
Homnick writes,
Will the fraud be exposed? That is not yet the question, as long as the media cries “What fraud?” alongside the Democrats. Joe Biden, the man-who-would-be-king, is proudly wearing the Emperor’s New Clothes, noticing nothing out of the ordinary, and the media does not boast a single person of courage to note aloud that the Emperor does not have any clothes at all.
This game can only be played so long. There is one lever that can force the media into noticing there is a problem, and can awaken the Biden legal team from hibernation. That is, the Georgia hand recount, due to begin today and end by November 20.
If the lawsuits and the recounts do indeed reveal fraud that
attempted to change the outcome of a presidential election, team Biden and the
Democrat Party won’t be the only losers. The mainstream media will be revealed
to be accomplices in an unprecedented corruption. Of course, this will only add
to a growing list of media malpractice that clearly reveals the mainstream
American media to be what Trump has long considered them: The
Enemy of the American People. It is they who deserve impeachment
and removal from American society!
