Good morning. The Clinton campaign fabricated a completely false story about Trump having a secret server with a Russian bank. The 2 servile partisan "reporters" who most pushed it -- @FranklinFoer and @NatashaBertrand -- have been repeatedly promoted.

edition.cnn.com/2022/05/20/pol…
This has long been known but the proof is emerging now because Hillary's lawyer is on trial for lying to FBI - ie, they not only planted this disinformation with the press but also with FBI. Hillary's campaign manager, Robby Mook, says Hillary personally approved the press leak.
To see who the real liars are - who the actual disinformation agents are - watch @chrislhayes nod his DNC head as the two lying reporters who spread the story and got rewarded -- Bertrand and Foer -- pronounce that this Trump/Alfa fraud has been proven:

Hillary's campaign not only used the media and FBI to spread this lie (FBI investigated and quickly determined it was bullshit), but Hillary herself used Twitter to spread this disinformation in a viral tweet which (of course) remains up with no label:

Look at these 3 lying DNC disinformation agents masquerading as journalists, all smirking as they deliberately pronounce an absolute lie invented by the Clinton campaign is "very, very obviously" true.

These same people, of course, endorsed the CIA lie about the Biden laptop: Image
As we demonstrated in the "Typhoid Mary of Disinformation" video we produced this week, the cable host at the heart of every DNC/CIA lie is @NicolleDWallace. But the "journalist" most used to launder them is @NatashaBertrand. She originates every lie:

greenwald.substack.com/p/cnns-new-rep…
Since 2016, nobody has been more rewarded for eagerly serving as a vector of CIA/DNC disinformation than Bertrand. She started at @BusinessInsider (where she pushed Alfa Bank), then promoted to @MSNBC, then to @TheAtlantic, then @politico, now at @CNN.

Lying is their currency. Image
Maybe it's naiveté, but I just can't believe that the media outlets that spread all these lies -- especially the CIA lie about Hunter Biden's laptop being "Russian disinformation," which even NYT/WP/NBC now say is false -- just refuse to acknowledge this let alone retract it. ImageImageImageImage
As bad and corrupted as large media corporations have been, they always knew they had to at least acknowledge and account for their huge errors and falsehoods. The NYT published a lengthy Editors' Note explaining what happened with their WMD lies.

nytimes.com/2004/05/26/wor…
But now, when major news outlets spread outright lies -- not just one day, but repeatedly affirming them -- they just stay silent and pretend it never happened when the proof emerges they lied.

*Not one* outlet that endorsed this pre-election CIA lie has acknowledged this proof. ImageImage

The shooter also praised Anders Breivik and Brenton Tarrant (anti-Muslim mass shooters); commemorated murdered wife of white separatist Randy Weaver and Timothy McVeigh; "Kick a spic"; cited Waco.

The need to instantly impose a clear ideology on mentally ill killers is stupid. Image
This platform is filled with countless pundit and influencer-types trying hard to claim the shooter was motivated by whatever ideology or group they most hate:

It was anti-Zionism! It was leftism! It was far-right racism.

Many, perhaps most, mass shooters are principally ill.

Please watch this. If you're American or British, you're paying for the mass famine Israel has been imposing and continues to impose on Gaza.

Alex de Waal is a leading famine scholar who has worked on most recent famines. Listen to what he says here about starvation in Gaza:
More here from Waal -- if you can bear to listen to it -- on exactly what the IDF and US are doing to block food from entering Gaza, and the reason why Stage 5 famine and dying of starvation is one of the worst ways a human being can perish:

The French Press Association issued a statement on how they have had journalists die in war zones -- but never of starvation.

Several of their Gazan colleagues can no longer work due to severe malnutrition.

This century's worst crime against humanity:

Yale's "Fascism expert" Jason Stanely -- Yale's "Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy" (does anyone now who that is?) -- explains why he's fleeing the US in fear withYale's Timothy Snyder and his wife Marci Shore -- to Canada, which he calls "the Ukraine of of North America." Image
He says Canada is Ukraine beacaue it's a bastion of freedom and nobility threatened an by authoritarian neighbor.

The absolute narcissism and melodrama of these people: there are those whose civil liberties are threatened. Celebrated, rich Yale professors are not among them.
Extra gross that Snyder is very wealthy by heralding himself the world's leading warrior against fascism. His book implores others not to "anticipatorily obey" Trump.

2 months into Trump's term, he flees the US as if he's an underground #Resistance leader in occupied France.Image

If Joe Biden had announced that any private universities that allow criticism of him or Dems shall immediately lose all federal funding -- while keeping the funding if they allow criticisms of Trump -- would that have been constitutional since no school has the right to funding?
How about if Biden cut off all federal funding to universities that deny the validity of the trans identity or the existence of multiple genders -- on the ground that such teaching incites violence against trans people and is hate speech?

Would that have been constitutional?
The only tactic needed to induce support for censorship is train people to believe the views they hate are violence.

Anti-trans activists are inciting violence and calling for genocide, etc.

Opponents of Israel's war on Gaza are calling for genocide and must be censored, etc. etc.

During the Dem primary campaign, one of RFK Jr.'s core issues was free speech and opposing censorship. Then he became known for wanting to combat chronic disease.

So what does he use his first month for? Threatening universities which allow protests against Israel on campus:
Note: you're free to protest the US on campus. You can protest any country or group: just not Israel.

And of course this censorship - like all censorship - is justified the name of stopping hate speech and keeping one group "safe": as if they're being relentlessly attacked.
Every government in the world -- including the most repressive and tyrannical -- "protects free speech" for the views they like.

It's the views they most hate that are targeted. And the most sacred issue for many in the Trump Admin is Israel: that is what's therefore shielded. Image

There's nothing stopping Germany or the EU from funding war in Ukraine until the end of eternity if they wish, or sending their citizens to Ukraine to fight Russia.

But the German Greens -- the worst of the worst -- are emblematic of European liberals: all posturing, no action.
British pundits prance around as if they're Churchill, and Macron walks around like he's a tough guy, and German Greens and other vague Berlin liberals posture as if they're the paragon of compassion: all while they rely on the US to finance wars, fight and protect them.
Zelensky begged and begged Westerners to get off line and stop tweeting with their blue-yellow emojis and instead go to Ukraine to help them fight the Russian Army, knowing he couldn't win without non-Ukrainians volunteering to fight. Very, very few did.
