First the good news. There are many wonderfully talented and good-hearted journalists fighting the organized propaganda that can be summed up as Russiagate. And most Americans, even the ones who still believe the lies, are sick and tired of the corporate media never shutting the fuck up about this insane and evil conspiracy theory.
Evil is a term thrown around a lot. But just how evil is this conspiracy theory? If you look at the actual damage done by it, almost nothing in the last 50 years compares in stature and harm done. There are many comparisons with the WMDs in Iraq Psy Opp, but Russiagaters have taken things much, much further. Further to the point that they're willing to risk a nuclear war with Russia; one that would almost certainly destroy every person on the planet, just to make Trump look bad.
Years before Trump shocked us all and won the Presidency, his connections with Jeffey Epstein were expose and subsequently ignored by the corporate media. Imagine that you're someone who really really wanted to beat Trump in 2016, as virtually all democrats did. Then imagine a story that links your opponent to a convinced trafficking of humans with his now famous quote about the man.
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
We don't know if Trump was part of the "fun" or really did break off his friendship with the guy, and this article isn't about that debate. The point is, that quote alone would have been insanely harmful to Trump's Presidential aspirations. Imagine Rachel Maddow and others in the liberal press talking about THAT doozy every night. The point is, focusing on an insane Glenn Beck like conspiracy theory was a giant waste of time. But now that the whole thing has been exposed as a fraud, they're doubling down. CNN recently published an insane screed trying to link Julian Assange with Russia and election meddling.

Yahoo News, which is clearly part of the cabal that puts out organized propaganda, put out a similar article.
Once you understand how power structures us media to manipulate us all, you start being able to recognize it very easily. This is just the latest. Articles like these, as well as the entire Russiagate narrative, should be studied in schools in the future in the same way we study Joseph Goebbels and his Nazi propaganda helped murder millions of people. Given that Russiagate has ushered in a new cold war that threatens the world with World War III, the potential for this propaganda to murder more than The Nazis is all to apparent to anyone who knows the basics of international relations.
