The Latest CIA/Media Fraud: Claiming Cricket Mating Sounds are a Russian Sonic Microwave Attack

When you put this together, it's arguably the most unhinged and humiliating fraud they perpetrated: always with the same set of Russiagate/CIA "journalists":

For the last 5 years, the US has been drowned by deliberate, toxic disinformation: not from Trump boomers on FB or QAnon sites or alt-right teenagers on 4Chan, but the same axis of NBC/CNN/NYT/Atlantic propagandists who say what CIA orders them to. Just look at how they behave:

I don't really have words left to express how recklessly these outlets spread CIA lies and propaganda. Watch what NBC & @mitchellreports did to spread this lie.

It's always the same CIA spokespeople involves: @KenDilanianNBC, @NatashaBertrand, @juliaioffe, NBC, @AdamSchiff, etc.

Please look at this excerpt to see how truly demented -- unhinged and deranged -- was the conspiracy theory pushed by @NatashaBertrand, @juliaioffe & NBC: that a CIA agent got Too Close to the Truth™ about the Kremlin, so they invented a sonic weapon to injure his brain:

Why do I say that this SECRET RUSSIAN SONIC WEAPON was arguably the most humiliating CIA/media fraud of all, given how stiff the competition is?

Because the mysterious, dastardly sounds they isolated as the Villain actually came from crickets native to the Caribbean. CRICKETS:

When you look at what the scientists said in their report on this dastardly Russian sonic weapon -- that was just a cricket -- you realize the depths of CIA/media lies. They ever said that this media propaganda spawned *mass hysteria* that produced psychogenic panic and symptoms.

Even with this two years of evidence debunking this demented conspiracy, and the new @BuzzFeed report that the State Dept rejected "Russian sonic weapons" and concluded mass hysteria was the cause, lunatic disinformation agents like @JoeNBC kept spreading it *this year*:

This demented conspiracy theory about microwave sonic weapons from the Kremlin was so deranged and laughable that even the FBI and State Dept concluded it was fake and the symptoms were from hysteria. Yet corporate media continued to spread it for years because it's what they do:

It's not exactly a secret that the US corporate media is the single worst source of disinformation, conspiracy theories and lies.

But when those lies are debunked and then you go back and watch how they did it, it still is shocking how extreme it is:
