Right on Cue, the New York Times Tries to Mount a new Russia Hoax
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 06/28/2020 5:38:21 AM PDT by EyesOfTX

Meet the new Russia hoax, same as the old Russia hoax. – The Russia Collusion hoax was based entirely on a fraudulent dossier and lies told to reporters by anonymous sources. Well, and also by reporters just making crap up out of whole cloth in many instances, but that goes without saying. The Democrats and their corrupt media toadies managed to deceive the American public for three solid years and tilt the 2018 elections using that hoax, so it’s only natural they would repeat that same model in the runup to the 2020 elections.

Meet the new Russia hoax, this one claiming that President Trump was briefed on a plan by those evil Russians to bribe Afghanistan militants to murder U.S. and coalition forces in that sh*thole country (don’t even try to prove me wrong on that assessment), and that the President did nothing to stop them. The New York Times got the ball rolling on that doozy late last week with yet another fake report based on nothing but anonymous sources who may or may not even exist. You’re just supposed to trust that the New York Times, which has filed hundreds of completely false reports about President Trump since 2015, is finally telling you the truth this time, because of their journalistic “ethics” or something.

Even more, you’re supposed to believe the Times because other corrupt media outlets like the Wall Street Journal and Washington post “independently verified” the story – i.e., they talked to the same anonymous sources, who may well have been the reporter from the Times itself. Because that’s what these corrupt political operatives masquerading as journalists do.

As with this past week’s Bubba Wallace/NASCAR noose story, if you didn’t realize within about 10 seconds that both stories are clear hoaxes, then you just haven’t been paying enough attention to what’s been happening in our country for the past four years. But most Americans are too dense to figure it out, so the President and many of his people had to waste their time issuing outright denials of this false reporting on Saturday.

As reported by the Washington Examiner, former Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell ended up in a back and forth on Twitter with despicable hack Ted Lieu:

Rep. Ted Lieu, a California Democrat, tweeted at Grenell daring him to confirm whether he did not tell Trump and Pence about a Russian military intelligence unit offering financial rewards to Taliban militants to kill U.S. troops or McEnany was lying.

“I never heard this,” Grenell shot back. “And it’s disgusting how you continue to politicize intelligence. You clearly don’t understand how raw intel gets verified. Leaks of partial information to reporters from anonymous sources is dangerous because people like you manipulate it for political gain.”

Lieu followed up by asking: “If you are telling the truth, why doesn’t White House deny bounty story instead of saying you didn’t brief @POTUS?”

Grenell replied: “All anonymous sources. And these same reporters gave us the Russian collusion hoax you still hold on to.”

Yep.

Current DNI John Ratcliffe issued this unambiguous statement on the matter:

Ok. Next!

The President of the United States tweeted this:

All true. Next!

Even Vladimir Putin and Russia accurately referred to the New York Times as “fake news”:

World news Russia denies allegation that it offered bounties to militants in Afghanistan for killing American troops According to The New York Times, American intelligence officials reported that a Russian assassination unit secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing American troops in Afghanistan. Russia responded by calling it an attempt to “invent new fake stories.” Photo via @timesofindia

[End]

So, you are left with either believing “news” outlets who have repeatedly lied to you and worked hand in glove with the Democrat Party to spread a series of outright hoaxes to the American public over the last four years, or believing the President, DNI Ratcliffe and Ric Grenell, who spent his entire time as DNI debunking the media’s previous Russia Hoax by declassifying documents and bring transparency in government.

This is not hard, folks.

That is all.

Well, if the Russians deny it, then, it must be true. After all, have the Russians ever told the truth?

On the other hand, have the people in the left-wing media and democrats, ever told the truth?

The Russians and Chinese and democrats and the left-wing media, all walk on the same path of lying and fake news, but, they all know that with the ignorant news consumers, if it's 'reported', then, it must be true. The Russians and democrats and the left-wing media and Chinese, all walk in the

The hoax is that Trump was briefed. He wasn’t. But the idea that Russians are offering bounties? Why is that even surprising? That’s what Russians do with their adversaries. The US is the single country most responsible for the fact that Ukraine isn’t, in its entirety, a part of Russia today. Ditto with the Baltics as well as all the stans that broke away with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Heck, ditto with the Warsaw Pact countries.

Democrats always phrase arguments in “Heads I win, Tails you lose” questions. If White House confirms, it is treason. If they deny, impeachment for lying.

Here’s my answer: Were you born this stupid or do you work at it 24/7/365?

Unfortunately, a vast amount of republicans fall into this category.

There’s so much fake news these days, the headline should say, “Right on queue...”

The Iranian Shites have done this. I very much doubt the Russians have. They play a smarter game of Chess, and are content to stand back and watch Shite happen.

Hard to imagine what they can put out there that is much more imaginative than this latest story, but what the heck, they are operating with absolutely NO restraints, and who knows? Maybe the next invented hoax will be the one that DEFEATS President Trump.

These people attacking President Donald J. Trump may think they can cut into a soft underbelly with the ease of a hot knife through butter, but they fail to take into consideration that “soft underbelly” is protected with the finest grade of twelve-inch, cold-rolled, case-hardened, nickel-plated, Tungsten-Vanadium-Molybdenum alloy steel armor plating available.

The story about the little boy that cried wolf once too often was created to teach very young children about the value of always telling the truth. Too bad that the reporters at the New York Slimes never learned the moral of the story.

They know the story. But to them the moral is that an evil male got his comeuppance for encroaching on the natural habitat of the wolf...

WSJ has a “second day PM lead” on this fake story.
Shame on WSJ.

They had plenty of help pushing the Russia collusion hoax by Republicans like Flimsey Grahamnesty and Trey Gowdy.

Notice, how the left wing mediots never focus on the Chicoms and Mexico re what criminal actions they do to America/Americans here in our country.

So here we go for more distractions with their Russia/Russia BS.

They never focus on what the Chicoms and our Mexican neighbors do to Americans and with our elections.

US briefed the UK about the bounty — which, included their troops. If this is a hoax, it was one that was started by the Russians which would implicate themselves.

Was the bounty program ever acted upon or collected?

That will be the distinction between dereliction of duty.
And treason.

You know you suck big time when Putin won’t buy your lies.

Cv19 is no longer #1 in the news. BLM stealing, burning, assaulting is winding down. The media is desperately looking for another crisis that they will elevate to a First Class Crisis! To get Trump, of course.

I think this new Russia thing isn’t the one. There will be another one in less than a week. (Unsubstantiated prediction).
