Biden ordering a review of US military exercises in Europe, amid fears US moves "risk crossing the line into provoking Russia." Study finds that NATO-Russia incidents spiked post-2016 -- when Russiagate cultists wailed that US was led by "Putin's Puppet." washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
"Despite Trump’s perceived affinity for Russia, he surrounded himself with hard-liners... who stepped up military activities designed to send a message to Moscow. At times, the result has been envelope-pushing missions."

Like w/ Steele, reality is finally sinking in.
"A study cataloguing nearly 3,000 incidents between NATO and Russian forces from 2013 to 2020... found significantly increased activity after 2016."

Wait, why didn't Putin just use the pee tape or his financial blackmail over Trump to get him to stand down?
Instead of challenging the Trump admin's escalation of military & nuclear tensions with Russia, liberals were instead instructed to fear that Trump was a Kremlin agent who was being blackmailed into doing Putin's bidding. mate.substack.com/p/russiagate-h…

New: Early in the OPCW’s Douma probe, expert toxicologists ruled out chlorine gas as the victims' cause of death. Leaks expose how OPCW officials censored this explosive finding — and then targeted the inspector who raised the alarm. thegrayzone.com/2021/11/22/cor… via @TheGrayzoneNews
Early in the OPCW's probe of an alleged chemical attack in Douma, expert toxicologists ruled out chlorine gas as the cause of death. Instead of publishing this finding, OPCW officials concealed it, and then investigated a veteran inspector who questioned the censorship.
The suppression of toxicology is among a series of deceptions by the OPCW brass to corrupt the Douma probe's scientific process, as detailed in this new multi-part investigation by @TheGrayzoneNews. More than 3 years later, the high-level censorship has mired the OPCW in scandal.

.@BGrueskin chides US media for embracing the Steele dossier, but in the process he does what he's criticizing: accepting partisan-tied, evidence-free Russiagate claims as fact. nytimes.com/2021/11/15/opi…
The claim of Russian "hacking into Democrats' emails" is full of evidentiary holes, heavily caveated in Mueller's report, & was generated by another Clinton contractor, Crowdstrike, which later admitted that it had no evidence.
(realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2021/…)
The claim that a Russian troll farm used "Facebook and other social media companies to foment dissent and unrest" is a joke. The posts were juvenile, barely seen, barely about the election, and mostly came *after* the election.

Just recently, Congress defeated @JamaalBowmanNY’s measure to have a *debate* on whether to authorize US military operations in Syria. I wonder if this news that the US massacred civilians in Syria and then extensively covered it up for two years will change that:
As I wrote in September, the US is occupying Syria to steal its oil/agricultural resources and effectively prolong the 10-year dirty war, all while lying to the US public. Perhaps news of this massacre will finally spark some discussion about that. mate.substack.com/p/to-keep-troo…
US airstrikes killed a reported 64 civilians in Syria on March 18, 2019. Central Command spent 2+ years hiding evidence. A whistleblower who challenged the cover-up, DoD IG official Gene Tate, was forced out of his job in October 2020. A major scandal. nytimes.com/2021/11/13/us/…

The @washingtonpost has published major corrections of stories that falsely named @SergeiMillian as a Steele dossier source.

"The Post’s decision to edit and repost the Millian stories is highly unusual in the news industry." For Russiagate, it should become the norm.
washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…
As I said earlier this week, for Russiagate -- especially the US media -- there is no rock bottom. There's a lot more corrections to be made. mate.substack.com/p/russiagate-h…

1/ David McCloskey is a former CIA analyst on Syria & author of "Damascus Station", a new spy thriller drawing on his experience.

We did a long interview that I think upends conventional narratives around the 10-year Syria war. thegrayzone.com/2021/11/09/fmr…

Some highlights:
2/ I asked ex-CIA analyst David McCloskey if there was any debate over the fact that, as Jake Sullivan told Hillary Clinton in Feb 2012, "Al Qaeda is on our side in Syria." Heavy US weaponry even ended up in AQ's hands.

Were there any misgivings about siding with Al Qaeda?
3/ Ex-CIA analyst David McCloskey: the US effectively siding with Al Qaeda in Syria was "a tremendously problematic aspect of the conflict."

.@ErikWemple is holding Steele dossier dupes accountable. But in the process he tries to make other Russiagate fiction look credible, e.g. the Senate Intel report. Like Steele, that report makes outlandish, unsupported claims undermined by the available evidence.
See my two-part report on what Senate Intel got wrong: (realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2020/…)
(realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2020/…)
Senate Intel's biggest "finding" is that K. Kilimnik is a Russian spy, a claim Mueller & FBI never made. For good reason: it's a joke, as all the evidence shows.

See 1st article above & my follow-up reporting, which exposed a key Mueller falsehood: realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2021/…
