What’s the difference between Russia and the MSM? Or the democrat party for that matter? Nothing. They all lie and cheat, all claim not to be communists or no longer communist, all hate America, all spread anti-America propaganda, all are trying to install or maintain a leftist totalitarian dictatorship where they can disarm, spy on, control and oppress the people.

““The main goal of the Russian propaganda and misinformation effort is to divide America by using our institutions, like free speech and social media, against us. It has stoked fear and hatred amongst Americans. It is working incredibly well. We are quite divided as a nation.”

Remove the word “Russian” from the above sentence and it would also accurately describe the behavior of the ENTIRE “mainstream” (ie leftist) media in the USA over the past year and a half...”

Or, more accurately, replace it with the word “Soros”...

“I have seen all of the Russian ads and I can say very definitively that swaying the election was *NOT* the main goal,” Goldman said.

"And I should know, because swaying the election was *OUR* main goal!" Goldman added.

Right, God bless Miller and keep him safe and scandal free. This rush to leap behind Mueller’s fantasy is nauseating. As if Russian trolls on Facebook made any difference, utterly ridiculous.

“Tell Vladimir that after the election I’ll have more flexibility” President Obama to Russian President Medvedev 03/2012

And we thought Obama was just referring to missile defense (ne: unilateral US disarmament).

“Obama’s response to Russian interference: He did his job. His cautious response to Russian interference protected our democracy.” — William Saletan “Slate” 06/23/17

Why didn’t Obama raise public alarms about Russian infiltration? Because that might have backfired.

“Trump was predicting that the election would be rigged,” says the Washington Post. “Obama officials feared providing fuel to such claims, playing into Russia’s efforts to discredit the outcome.”

According to the paper, Obama and his team “worried that any action they took would be perceived as political interference in an already volatile campaign.”

Rather than speak up when the CIA first warned him about Putin’s moves, Obama waited for “a high-confidence assessment from U.S. intelligence agencies on Russia’s role and intent.”

He asked congressional Republicans to join him in cautioning citizens and state election officials. You can argue that this was politically naïve.

BUT OBAMA WASN’T PLAYING POLITICS. HE WAS TRYING TO UNITE THE COUNTRY. (Emphasis mine)

Editor’s note: My B.S. meter just exploded!

Story was red-headlined on Townhall.com earlier this afternoon, but now has disappeared????

I know that the quoted FB VPs Twitter account isn’t “verified”, but it appears to be legit and nobody has anything to the contrary that I can find ...

#12. Every time someone honest in a liberal/leftist group tells the truth, they get fired which IS GREAT FOR US. Now they can tell the insider’s truth of what really went on inside these organizations, esp. at the top level/planning/strategy and collusion with political groups.

More former CIA and FBI agents are now coming on FOX TV to tell what they saw as versus what the higher ups twisted re Russian collusion, the fuck up with Cruz in the Florida mass murders, other criminal investigations, etc.

It is the undercover operatives who can provide the best insider information as to “what is going on, what is real, and who was in charge of doing a good job or screwing things up”.

I’ve been inside numerous events/conferences/meetings, etc. and have seen how the liberal media has covered up everything from Soviet espionage/disinformation operations to Mafia money and the Clintons. Attempts to make what I can legally make public has been limited by the power of the leftist media to not publish the truth, to cover it up, and to attack those who try to tell the truth.

Also, many conservative publications are afraid to publish good, documented stories for fear of retaliation from the Left, from some readers, from businesses who take out advertising, and from the leftist control of the major TV networks. Also add in the smears and attacks from academia which are relentless, esp. against supporters of Israel (Jewish and non-Jewish alike).

I and members of our Vietnam veterans groups face this academic onslaught on a daily basis, the truth be damned.

Defectors from the Left are one of our greatest assets because “they’ve been in the belly of the beast” and know the truth about it. Undercover operatives like myself have also been in “the belly of the Left” and know what we saw and heard.

Thankfully FreeRepublic has been a great forum for so many experienced Freepers to present their real life experiences and knowledge for all to see. It is up to the readership to spread the word around if they like it and trust us (Reagan - Trust, but Verify).

I’m having a debate with one of my neighbors right now about WMDs in Iraq. When I presented him some of the evidence for them, he calmed downed a lot, esp. when I told him that my son found Soviet Bloc chemical suits outside of Hindaya (East Bank of the Euphrates) in April 2003.

Our enemy is not just the communists, anarchists, black extremists, anti-religion leftists, Marxist academics, a corrupt and leftist mainstream media, and the stupidest liberals in American history, it is a lack of our people doing “their homework” in terms of reading widely, using the internet for new information sources, and of the conservative TV networks getting this information out in a continual stream to their viewers.

No matter what you think of Glenn Beck today, his use of blackboards, charts, and original documents/books on his show was one of the best teaching methods and shows in modern American television history (Friends, and on occasion, myself, provided Beck with the documents and sources he needed to flesh out what he was doing).

We don’t have enough “News teachers” on the air. We have too many “talkers” which overwhelms their very good quality presentations/messages.

Watch Tucker Carlson and Jesse Waters/Greg Gutfeld for information. Judge Jeannine Pirro is also doing a great job of using her opening remarks to present a very well organized, legal-style, present of the topic she is focusing on. Sean Hannity is also getting better and having a much sharper focus in his opening remarks.

The same far Mark Levin, Larry O’Connor and Chris Plante.
Writers worth following include Andrew McCarthy, Victor David Hanson, Mark Steyn, Sara Carter, John Solomon, Tom Fitton (Judicial Watch), and others whose analytical works appear here at FR.

We need a revamped “teaching approach” to our fellow Americans, one that focuses more on a well structured presentation than making political points. Sane people will look at what you have said/written, and then try to digest it.

The problem is one of sanity, which is becoming rarer and rarer among the Democrats/liberals/progressives-Marxists). Our fight is in the schools, churches/synagogues, in the media, and in the media.

We have both challenging and interesting times ahead. Let’s meet the enemy and our potential allies head on with a forceful presentation of the TRUTH and stay on the offensive.

No more retreating, milktoasting our comments, giving the field to the enemy uncontested, or giving up the fight.

Our country and our children/grandchild are depending on us and people like us. We cannot afford to abandon any more people because we are running out of allies abroad and here at home.

From Rob Goldman your link:
"The single best demonstration of Russia's true motives is the Houston anti-islamic protest. Americans were literally puppeted into the streets by trolls who organized both the sides of protest"

What does Mueller investigating our elections have to do with this protest that took place AFTER the elections?

Thanks for the link

“Not to mention, that any conservative or religious group that wants to promote its message gets shut down.”

There are 1000’s of churches and Christian organizations on FaceBook. Many are quite conservative. Would you like a list of some of them?

They don’t always demand them, but if you search you can find others banned for the same thing. Maybe some idiot complains when you post something that might hurt Hillary’s feelings.
