Well, this was inevitable, wasn’t it? – Now that demonstrations protesting draconian and likely illegal orders issued by governors are popping up all over the country – as we covered yesterday – the Democrat/media propaganda complex narrative will now likely go back to yet another iteration of “Russia, Russia, Russia” starting today.
One on-air NBC contributor apparently got her hands on the joint talking points early and gave us a preview of the new narrative on Saturday. Check this out from Michigan University law prof. Barb McQuade:
Barb McQuade ✔ @BarbMcQuade Mueller found that some 2016 political rallies in US were organized by Russians on social media. These active measures seek to divide and defeat us. Ask yourself who benefits from American deaths when protestors gather during COVID19. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/nation/2020/04/17/hundreds-defy-idahos-stay-home-order-capitol-protest/5157593002/ … via @detroitnews
Hundreds defy Idaho’s stay-at-home order at Capitol protest Gov. Brad Little announced Wednesday that the order would extend to the end of April in the effort to slow the spread of coronavirus.

Now, this is the very same Barb McQuade who has spent the last few weeks reciting the talking points of the communist Chinese government in support of the efforts by the propaganda complex to blame the Wuhan Virus on President Donald Trump. This tweet – and the thousands of messages to come from Democrat operatives across the media in support of this latest narrative – is just an extension of that ongoing campaign.
Obviously, the country that most benefits from the shutting down of the U.S. economy in response to a virus that now appears to be no more deadly than the seasonal flu is China, not Russia. The country that stands to lose the most from the Trump Administration’s investigation into the origins of this virus – which seems almost certain to have been the Wuhan Lab (the Wuhan Institute of Virology, to which the Obama Administration sent millions of U.S. dollars) linked to China’s bioweapons program – is China, not Russia. The country that stands to lose the most from the coming efforts by the U.S. and other free countries to de-link their supply chains from China is obviously China, not Russia.
But this NBC contributor immediately knee-jerks to the “Russia, Russia, Russia” canard without a single shred of logic or evidence to back it up.
The reality is that these protests appear to be organic in nature, organized and conducted by groups concerned about the rampant deprivation of fundamental rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution by these state governors. Ms. McQuade’s laughable reference to Herr Mueller and his Nazi-style “investigation” is pathetic given the fact that he found literally no proof of any Russian significant interference in the 2016 election, and that the DOJ recently was forced to drop the only charges he actually produced against any actual Russian entity.
Now, as the Trump Administration and mainly-Republican governors around the U.S. move to begin to reopen the country, ask yourself who stands to lose the most from those efforts? The answer to that is clear as well: leftist ideologues like Ms. McQuade.
Think about it: This “stay-at-home” order world in which most of us have lived for the past month is literally these people’s life-long goal. A timid population, cowering in fear in their living rooms, growing fat and lazy while watching programs interrupted every 7 minutes by “we are all in this together, comrades” messaging distributed by the government and parroted by “news” people and minor celebrities is their vision of utopia.
People like McQuade spend every waking hour trying to move our country towards the day when over half the population will be out of work and entirely dependent on government largess for their very survival, and the last month has put them well on the way to achieving that, if they can only find away to institutionalize it. These people see fascist governors like Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer dictating which products and people are “non-essential” and go into orgasmic fits of ecstasy. Hell, McQuade even parrots Whitmer’s Stalinist propaganda on her Twitter feed:
Barb McQuade ✔ @BarbMcQuade As @GovWhitmer says, better 6 feet apart than 6 feet under. Unfazed and standing strong. https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2020/04/18/coronavirus-michigan-stay-home-whitmer-lawsuits/5147907002/ … via @freep
With 2,308 dead, Michigan stay-at-home critics file more lawsuits As more lawsuits challenge Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay-at-home order, she's not fazed: 'It's better to be 6 feet apart than 6 feet under,' she says.

Breathtaking.
This weekend’s protests were all peaceful, involving people who continued to adhere to the social distancing advisories. But we are rapidly approaching the day when we will begin to see widespread civil unrest breaking out in cities all across the country if these draconian deprivations continue. Americans being deprived for no visible reason of their jobs and businesses and livelihoods are not going to take standing in long lines for handouts and government benefits for long. Any governor or mayor who attempts to continue these illogical and abusive edicts beyond the next few weeks risks setting off a powder keg in their state.
As President Trump has said many times during his daily Task Force briefings, “This is not how America was built. It’s not how America was meant to be.”
For leftists like McQuade and 98% of her fellow talking heads on television, this current situation is nirvana. For freedom-loving Americans out here in flyover country, it is a living hell.
It is a very dangerous situation when one of those competing views of what America is and should be tries to forcibly impose its will on the other. This is a very dangerous time for our country, and Russia, Russia, Russia has nothing to do with it.
That is all.
Who did the dems blame the Tea Party movement on? I don’t remember reset button Hillary blaming the Russians. These organic “liberate us” movements are the same response we had to Barry and his corrupt socialist policies.
>@BarbMcQuade Mueller found that some 2016 political rallies in US were organized by Russians on social media.
BLM and other protests.
lies by omission are lies
Stalinists lie. Always
socialists call it central planning
In America we have 2 common feel good scape goats:
The Russians who don’t want an armed conflict with us and are Christians (unlike our buddies the Chinese and Saudi’s). Who are really just a global competitor in the energy market and who actually cooperate with us on certain terrorist threats, allowed us to use their air bases in Kyrgestan... Warned us about the Tsarnaev brothers which when we screwed up denied...
And the Nazi’s. The last war where we had a definitive victory, where we see ourselves as absolutely moral and right. Today we are to cowardly to even produce a film where the Chinese invade the US (worried about the Chinese reaction we changed the story to be North Koreans in Red Dawn II).
Yes, you are correct. Now it will be back to Russian conspiracy stories by folks that talk about open mindedness, inclusion and tolerance, and of course we’ll get our once a year new Nazi movie where we win and are the good guys.
Yes, Russia interfered in U.S. political affairs, it fed disinformation to Steele, who fed it to John Brennan and the DOJ/FBI, who then tried to take down a sitting president with it. So who was Putin helping, most? Billary, Inc.
@BarbMcQuade
Honored to testify before the House Judiciary Committee today to help explain obstruction of justice and how interference with Mueller’s investigation threatened our national security. My opening statement is posted here. https://www.thedailybeast.com/former-us-attorney-barbara-mcquade-tells-congress-trump-committed-multiple-crimes …
The Chinese interfere, our allies Israel, the EU, Germany, the Saudis all interfere because they have interests. Define interfering with our elections and most people quickly realize you can’t even really define this concept in a consistent way where even our best friends are not included. But when the “Russians” do it, even at scale that is 1/4 of the Chinese meddling in US elections, it’s made into a huge deal. No one cares when the Chinese run news channels piped into to the US broadcasting their state run media. No one cares when the chinese outright buy US congressmen/women, no one cares about their lobbying...
Lest we forget:
William H. Hallahan, “The Day the American Revolution Began:19 April 1775”
“In the early morning hours of Wednesday, April 19, 1775, British troops crossed Boston Harbor with the intention of marching to Concord, Massachusetts to seize military supplies stored in the town by Patriot militiamen. Anticipating the British actions, an alarm was raised throughout the countryside by American silversmith Paul Revere and dozens of other riders who warned the colonial militia and minutemen that the regulars were on the road to Concord. By 5 am, the simmering tensions between the American colonists and the British government would reach their breaking point. The events of April 19 would change the world forever.
Captain Parker ordered the drummer to beat a call to arms. Then he assembled his militia unit-now seventy-seven strong-and lined it up in two ranks along the Lexington green. He was an experienced officer with combat experience who understood that the regulars would immediately take this posture as a challenge. That he meant to do battle was indicated in his instructions to the troops: ‘Don’t fire unless fired upon. But if they want a war let it begin here.’
The militiamen stood in silence in the gathering light of dawn. The stirring birds called in the trees, and the odor of fresh-turned earth and apple blossoms hung in the air. Small knots of onlookers stood about on the common. Women and children peered from the windows of the houses around the green. Dorothy Quincy continued her vigil in the second-floor bedroom of the Clarke house.
All listened for the sound of British boot soles. It was five A.M.”
No argument.
“Yes, Russia interfered in U.S. political affairs, it fed disinformation to Steele, who fed it to John Brennan and the DOJ/FBI,”
I believe that is fake news and designed to once again add credence to the Trump/Russia hoax. It’s a deflection. Don’t buy it. The blames lies entirely with the DNC and FBI/DOJ/CIA.
Because there are too many of them around.
“I believe that is fake news and designed to once again add credence to the Trump/Russia hoax. It’s a deflection. Don’t buy it. The blames lies entirely with the DNC and FBI/DOJ/CIA.”
For sure the blames lies with the DNC, DOJ/FBI/CIA. I am not saying Putin dreamed up the Steele Dossier or even that Putin had any hand in initiating it.
I am also not so naive as too think Putin did not see an opportunity, when Steele went looking for information, and seizing that opportunity Putin made sure many who talked to Steele padded their answers with the disinformation which, on examination proved to be unsupported innuendo.
So yes, the basic fault begins with the DNC/DOJ/FBI/CIA and the second fault was theirs because they did not care about the validity of Steele’s Claims. None of that blame means that in those claims there was not disinformation supplied by Russian intelligence operatives.
