The New Yorker’s Big Cover Story Reveals Five Uncomfortable Truths About U.S. and Russia
Intercept, the ^ | 28 February 2017

Posted on 03/02/2017 7:42:50 AM PST by Lorianne

The New Yorker is aggressively touting its 13,000-word cover story on Russia and Trump that was bylined by three writers, including the magazine’s editor-in-chief, David Remnick. Beginning with its cover image menacingly featuring Putin, Trump and the magazine’s title in Cyrillic letters, along with its lead cartoon dystopically depicting a UFO-like Red Square hovering over and phallically invading the White House, a large bulk of the article is devoted to what has now become standard – and very profitable – fare among East Coast news magazines: feeding Democrats the often-xenophobic, hysterical Russia-phobia for which they have a seemingly insatiable craving. Democratic media outlets have thus predictably cheered this opus for exposing “Russian President Vladimir Putin’s influence on the presidential election.”

I’m all for non-stop investigations of connections between Trump and Russia, as long as we look at all of our top leaders, current and former, and look at connections to the Saudis, the Chinese, Ukraine, Iran, and Muslim Brotherhood.

Lets get it all out there.

These are the same Dems/libs that screamed at Nixon and Reagan to do anything to settle with the Soviets, 'cuz they're 'so friendly'?

Are we at war with Russia? I thought the Cold War was over, I seem to remember Obama telling a Russian emissary that he would have more flexibility after the elections. Was a war declared?

Planting future false memories. Enough false memories implanted will cross-check each other and begin to be perceived as NOT false because there are multiple, cross-verified memories. Even though each instance is a false story, psy-op only, there with the intent of implanting the multiple false memories that will cross-check each other a few weeks from now.

I see what your doing there. We are not fooled. Lies are still lies

The left effectively shut down anyone from talking about Obama’s birth certificate by coming up with the derogatory term “birther”. We need to do the same thing and come up with some term to call all these idiots, and throw it at them every time they crawl out from under their rocks.

Remember: the Soviets were commies ... and Democrats are okay with commies.

The Russians are presently not the Soviets.

You may note that the Democrats have no apparent issue with ChiCom influence.

Yes, the russians are the boogeyman and have been for at least 100 years, but my question is:

If the Russians are so bad, why did Madam Benghazi sell them a huge chunk of OUR uranium stockpile so they could build nukes to use on US??

It looks like Soros and State Department collaborate overseas in their “color” revolutions. Maybe we can look at which US politicians are on his payroll. Maybe we can look at which State Department employees are connected with him while we’re at it, and clean them out.

And how much did the Saudis donate to Hillary’s campaign?

To be sure her defeat has slowed the islamification of our government, even led to some reversal of it. But those who are already subservient to Islam, for whatever reason, in our government continue to resist the truth being told about it.

The lie that Islam is a religion of peace is a hydra that regrows heads.

I'd REALLY like to think that Trump, or some of his guys, are either Freepers or at least Lurking.

Democrat hero and fat drunk Ted Kennedy met secretly with the Russians to try to bring down president Regan. He did this during the cold war when Russia was our main enemy. I'm sick of republican eunuchs giving in to these fake stories. Jason Chaff-face is calling on Sessions to step aside during the Russian election investigation. They are so pathetic and weak.
