Here is our new definitive video report -- in light of the new proof from Politico's @SchreckReports that the key Biden emails from Hunter's laptop were authentic -- on the gigantic pre-election fraud from the CIA, Big Tech and the corporate media:

rumble.com/vmteq5-new-pro…
There is no way to overstate what a massive scandal this is. In the weeks before the election, the CIA invented a blatant lie: that the NY Post's documents were "Russian disinformation." Big Tech then *censored* the reporting, and corporate outlets spent weeks spreading the lie:
The reality is that -- *from the start* -- there was ample evidence proving these documents were real, and that the CIA was lying. But the evidence came from right-wing outlets so the NYT, CNN and friends ignored it. The evidence this new book provides leaves no doubt about it:
The huge irony here is even the ex-CIA operatives -- led by Brennan and Clapper -- *admitted* they had no evidence to believe this came from Russia or was fake. Yet none of the outlets that spread their lies -- CNN, NBC, HuffPost, The Intercept -- will mention all this new proof:
It's impossible to list all the major media outlets who uncritically spreading the CIA's lie for weeks. I showed many TV clips in our new video. Here's one thread collecting other key ones before the election. Look at what unreconstructed liars they are:

A key point: the same media outlets that spread the CIA lies that this was "Russian disinformation" -- all to protect Biden -- are the same ones now who insist they *combat* disinformation and need to censor the internet to protect you from it. Look at what slimy frauds they are:
In light of this new proof that the Biden emails were authentic, I re-visit my resignation from @theintercept over their censorship of my reporting: as a microcosm for how media behaved. But remember: this outlet, claiming rigorous editorial standards, laundered the CIA's lies:
Crucially, none of the outlets which spread CIA's pre-election lies will even bother to grapple with this new proof (try to find any mention of it on The Intercept's site), just as they ignored their lies about Alfa Bank, etc. Their job is to lie, hence my conclusion about them:
I realize our new video report is longer than most. An hour in length, it's a mini-documentary, but I hope you'll watch because this episode is so grave: CIA lies were used by corporate media & Big Tech to censor pre-election reporting off the internet:

rumble.com/vmteq5-new-pro…
CNN is state TV.

That's why their newsroom and airwaves are filled with ex CIA and intelligence operatives, FBI officials, Pentagon functionaries and other security state ghouls telling lies like this under the guise of "news," right out in the open:

The US media, 2001-17: We must radically restructure our foreign policy and civil liberties to vanquish the existential threat of Al Qaeda.

The US media, this week: Meet the glamorous, reformed, media-trained, wise, diverse, borderline-woke AQ leader prepared to govern Syria.
The US Govt and its US corporate media partners can fundamentally rehabilitate anyone it needs to overnight:

US, 2012-2022: The Azov Battalion is a gravely dangerous, fascist, neo-Nazi threat to the West.

US, 2022-24: Azov fighters are reformed, moderated, genuine heroes. Image
After seeing things like this so many times, how can you do anything other than laugh:

Left-liberal Twitch streamers and YouTube shows knew that to attract a pre-election audience (money), they had to tell their viewers Kamala was *clearly* winning.

So they randomly anointed a random Twitter user, @Ettingermentumv, into a data guru, who assured them all of it.
For months -- including just a couple weeks before the election -- this fraudulent partisan data guru kept saying the polls were wrong, the polling experts were wrong, the secret numbers he saw made clear that Kamala wasn't just ahead but ahead by a good distance. Image
This is as much a problem with partisan independent media as partisan corporate shows: they have to validate their viewers' desire to believe things even if untrue.

So after all the profit and Substack subscriptions were sold by this fraud, he wrote his "I-was-wrong" confession: Image

"That there’s more affinity between Democrats and the Cheneys than Democrats and the Rogans and Theo Vons of the world says a lot."

It says a huge amount. It's long been clear that the Dem/neocon alliance -- that goes far beyond Trump -- is a key to understanding US politics:
The belief that Joe Rogan and those like him are just an updated Fox News -- a non-stop messaging of right-wing ideology -- is beyond stupid.

Those podcasts grew organically: in part because they're not ideological or partisan. They're normal conversations: how humans speak.
Depicting Rogan as a far-right ideologue is something only those who never heard his show would say. AOC separated from Bernie's campaign after Bernie touted Rogan's endorsement.

He is a vehement defender of same-sex marriage. He believes in full freedom for adults' personal lives. He frequently argues that corporate power is suffocating the lives of ordinary people, etc. etc.

The most consequential - yet overlooked - Trump era change is many debates are no longer shaped by old left/right divisions, but instead by who loves, respects, and is loyal to institutions of authority (Dems) and who believes they're fundamentally corrupted (Trump supporters).
Today's NYT column by @ezraklein notes obvious exceptions (abortion, gun control), yet argues the key difference between Kamala and Trump voters is how much one likes US ruling institutions.

Hence, Dems love CIA, FBI, DHS, corporate media. Even views of corporate power changed. Image
@ezraklein Think about key debates. Which is right or left?

- Trust in large media corporations.
- Opposition to BigTech/state internet censorship.
- Opposition to funding endless wars (Ukraine).
- Eagerness to remain tied to NATO and EU-based institutions.

While many people in the West believe that Russia/Putin are "isolated" - because their media tells them that -- 2 dozen world leaders are in Russia now for a 3-day BRICS conference.

BRICS itself includes the 2 most-populous countries and 4 of the top 10 most populous.
Beyond the founding 5 (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), it expanded to 5 more (including key US "partners" Egypt, UAE and maybe Saudi).

They "account for 45% of the global population" and 28% of global economy.

Key goal: a financial system independent of US dollar.
There's Western skepticism and even mockery that this huge confederation of countries -- united over perceived abuses of US/EU sanctions -- could create a non-dollar system. @TheEconomist takes it seriously.

Either way, this is not "isolation" of Putin:

Inacreditável que Alexandre de Moraes esteja constantemente concentrando em si próprio a figura de suposta vítima, investigador policial, promotor e o juiz - em seus próprios interesses.

Não há democracia onde uma pessoa pode investigar criminalmente o jornalismo que a reporta.
"Todos temos medo do superjuiz Moraes, menos aqueles que são os seus puxa-sacos" -- @lf_ponde, na @Folha.

Pondé sobre como Moraes não tem limites em seus poderes, e todos, exceto seus adoradores, têm medo de questioná-lo.

@lf_ponde @folha Aqui também: um ótimo artigo de @lygia_maria sobre a visão perturbada e perigosa de Moraes, a marca registrada de uma mentalidade tirana:

Que qualquer crítica ou questionamento feita ele é em si "um ataque à democracia" e, portanto, um crime.
