It's sad when even CIA rejects the media's fun, deranged conspiracy about Russia using secret 24th Century technology to destroy American brains.

The reality is this came from CIA and these NBC spokespeople: to claim Trump was allowing Russia to do it. Now it's no longer needed.

For years, the liberal sector of the corporate media mindlessly ratified and dramatized this moronic conspiracy theory about Russia's brain weapons.

See this thread: as always, disinformation comes *most* from the corporate outlets claiming to combat it:

I've been writing for years about all the evidence proving how dumb and irrational was this CIA/NBC/CNN/ Russiagate conspiracy. Last October, we produced how the fraud evolved. NBC was really the leader. Look what they did. Really, look how they behave:

As is true of Russiagate generally, this conspiracy theory wasn't just unhinged and straight from the CIA but *dangerous*: trying to convince Americans the Kremlin had developed a dastardly new weapon to destroy US brains.

It wasn't just MSNBC. Here's @mitchellreports on NBC:

At this point, it's impossible to count all the Russiagate frauds spread by the NYT/NBC/NYT/Atlantic/NewYorker axis. They are the real agents of disinformation: Alfa Bank, Russian bounties, Steele Dossier, etc. etc. Here's @JoeNBC in May, 2021 still spreading this insanity:

In sum, this one graphic sums up the entire liberal sector of the corporate media and how they behave. This is who they are and for whom they speak:

We'll see what happens between the US and Russia. Only then will we know the full impact of the CIA/media's 5 year orgy of fraudulent Russiagate stories.

For now it's clear: the number of fake media stories is far higher than 2002-03 Iraqi WMD lies, even if the impact is less.

This is why @mtaibbi called Russiagate "this generation's WMD." Obviously, the impact of the invasion of Iraq is worse (so far) than what has happened as a result of ratcheting up US/Russia tensions. But the CIA/media malfeasance is as bad if not worse:
