The media outlets which spread this lie from ex-CIA officials never retracted their pre-election falsehoods, ones used by Big Tech to censor reporting on the front-runner.
Not surprising: The CIA wanted Trump OUT, and Biden IN. The USA is a Colony of the CIA. Since decades ago. Who do you think organized the MASSIVE Election Fraud of 2020? Who could have the capabilities and the organization to do it? The CIA are experts in Coup's and in overthrowing governments all around the World: the CIA overthrew 87 governments. This time they overthrew the US government.
By the way: George Bush was dubbed "The CIA Candidate", Bill Clinton was a CIA asset, GW Bush was the son of "The CIA Candidate". Obama was another CIA asset (John Brennan was his handler).
We know from fmr DNI John Ratcliffe that Durham is investigating Joe Biden (and Obama too) https://gregrubini.substack.com/p/durham-ratcliffe-part3 - whether something will come out from his Criminal Investigation, we'll see. However we know that Durham interviewed for 8 hours John Brennan, in Aug 2020 (Brennan was Obama's handler). Ratcliffe gave Durham 1000 classified documents, back in Sept-Oct 2020. Durham is way too slow for my taste, but he's getting close to Jake Sullivan (Biden Nat. Sec. Advisor). Something may be in the offing. An Indictment of Jake Sullivan would be a death blow to the entire Biden Cabal.

Edit to add: isn't it interesting that the Top Names in the "Intelligence Community" disinfo letter linked by Glenn Greenwald are Michael Hayden, John Brennan, James Clapper, Michael Morell?
Trump's problem is he was outclassed by the bad guys, like a poor schmuck who wandered into a NBA practice, thinking it was a pick-up game down at the playground...Very, very sad--and an enormous missed opportunity. Don't know if another will come along anytime soon.
Trump's problems were many, however he was up against legions and had no clue who to trust given how many people are in some way connected to the swamp rats. He was at war with the swamp for most of his presidency, the near constant leaking from the swamp rat den is proof enough of that. They wanted him gone at all costs.
Trump was naive in regards to the Intelligence Agencies. He knew next to nothing about the shenanigans of the CIA/FBI/MI6/GCHQ. He even appointed Gina Haspel as CIA Director. Gina Haspel helped the British in the spy operations on Trump in 2016 (Haspel was the CIA Station Chief in London in 2016). Besides, Gina Haspel is a longtime Brennan's lapdog.
Trump NEVER spent one night in his life in D.C. He knew almost no one and relied on D.C. operatives for "advice." He is a pretty poor judge of character and appears to be easily taken in by flattery and ass kissing.
Even JFK and his brother the A.G. could not dislodge J.E. Hoover from his perch as FBI dictator. Only death finally get rid of him. That seems in many cases to be the only thing that can purge D.C. of some of these career grifters. Congress sometimes appears to be a nursing home populated with addled old people. Gotta have term limits for Congress and many Federal agencies.
Yes. He was old-school, American and patriotic, and at least initially, it was just completely out of his ability to think that the "intelligence community" would immediately try to kill their new Commander-in-Chief. I'd venture that kind of thinking is true for millions of other Americans, particularly those of certain generations. Even global organized crime is not as bad as the U.S. intel agencies.
I did as well. I thought it was bad when he was elected and I reluctantly voted for him as I thought Trump was a fake. Things turned out far differently....not only was he not a fake but the depths of corruption and the sheer number of swamp rats far exceeded my worst fears.
Speaking for yourself? Maybe you should have paid more attention to the conduct of the CIA 70 years ago? The conduct that you claim elsewhere is completely changed in the CIA of today?
Getting rid of those organizations is almost impossible given their deeply imbedded operatives throughout the media and government. They can whip up stories and tales from the crypt that would have most Americans so confused and scared that the streets would be filled with rioters and others protesting any curtailment of these PERMEANT shadow agencies that are strong influences on the American political scene.
It would take a purge as vicious as Hitlers murderous one of his Brown Shirt para-military after his election in 1933. Americans probably would not stand for something that draconian or far reaching without indictments and public trials. Would be best if Congress and the DOJ could cull out the worst offenders and DEFUND those agencies that appear to be too big for their britches. ALL enforcement agencies and intelligence groups need periodic reform and strict oversight by Congress since they seem to just grow like a cancer if not regulated.
It would literally take winning an armed revolution to get rid of the national security state at this point. The US is in deeper shit than almost anyone knows. The coup d'etat in Dallas in 1963 put the spooks in power permanently. Asking such sociopathic lunatics politely to leave is naive.
Getting an honest government through the election system is an almost impossible long shot now.
Eric Coomer demonstrates the adjudication function on the Dominion machines. As you can see in Coomer's presentation anyone using the machine can mark ballots however they wish.
I have this video start at the point that Coomer takes over the presentation and shows how the adjudiction function works.
I believe that is so, I hope not man I really do, but people want their stuff back, be it hope or what they've lost. They are really pissed off. The media is treating them like they do anti war protesters, as deluded nuts.
Mr. Kennedy and his brother had way too many secrets in their closets. Ms Monroe and the Organized Crime Mafia in Chicago who pushed him to a win in the 1960 election. Hoover knew way too much and the Kennedy's knew it.
Kennedy would have fired Hoover in his second term. He would have brought all US personnel home from Souyheast Asia. And he would have torn the CIA into a thousand peaces.
Or.worse yet, the brothers in mass murder and torture, The Dulles Brothers. How'd you like to have a nice state dinner with those guys? Sure, Kennedy fired Allan, but he wasn't gone, he hid behind Prescott and George the 1st. His brother took over MIT. Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfelds predecessors, their heroes, icons of Amerikan power. We have been drowned in shit that smelled like deodorant. I been fighting back my whole goddam life and look where we are now.Yeah, I am pissed off. I can't find one amerikan politician to trust, they all take way too much money. From anyone if they can get away with it. As long as all that money is in there, we will get human nature again and again. Undisciplined taking and spending, fun,fun fun. Plane tickets to anywhere, fat salary, Citizens United, what a great job. There must be cool ones, who are they? I work part time in a gas station to make it and I worked all my life so we could "retire'" and I did. Kind of. I'm on the last Amerikan retirement plan,thank you for social security. When were we getting that adjustment again?
Good points. Defunding is a good idea, and probably the most pragmatic. Since many of these agencies have dark money from confiscation or other dirty deeds. The defunding of taxpayer money might not do the trick, but it could hamper them a bit.
"Big mistake"??? How the fuck is anybody going to dismantle the CIA/FBI/NSA?
Those institutions are set in concrete historically, The ONLY way to get rid of the spook community is an armed revolution. And THAT would be very dangerous indeed.
All he had to do to accomplish that was by using the budgeting process. Defund them is the only way to do it. Any other way is futile as they are too entrenched in our government and media.
"all" "he" had to do? you mean the guy shot in dealey plaza? from a storm drain later paved over like the plane crash site in pennsylvania?
on the contrary. that he was, ahem, prevented made the graveyard bravery bar for opposing the cia or the mossad apparently prohibitively high. the mafia was not so lucky, following the death of the tutu wearing lover of clyde tolson.
If Trump ever gets in again, I hope he dismantles them all. Grassley and Johnson told us along with Glenn of this voter disinformation. What a joke. And to think the fbi had this laptop December 9, 2020 and didn’t bother to acknowledge it when Pelosi, Schiff, and Schumer were impeaching Trump in January for making a call to Zelenskyy to find out the doings of Ethel Biden’s in Ukraine. I’d say he had every reason to do this. The fbi and Barr were part of the cover up too. Criminal!
Yes, it was the greatest political scandal in American history, by a country mile. Yet, the perpetrators are all still alive, with no prosecutions. That there are millions of American voters who see nothing wrong with it is the best evidence that our political system is running on empty…
The biggest scandal was Clinton’s attempted coup and all the lies that went with it. The msm joining with the cabal was disgusting. Brennan, Comey, and McCabe’s lies; Maria Yankovich (sp), Vidman, Schiff, Schumer, and Pelosi’s accusations and lies. The waste of time and money. That attempted coup was truly treason. When Durham gets to the bottom of it, all this evil cast of characters need a televised trial like watergate for all Americans to see. That way there, the media can’t twist it. Remember watergate was just breaking into dnc offices not attempting to overthrow an elected president. And if it means anything, I am still an independent voter with conservative values and belief in God and our constitution of freedom.
The biggest scandal in history imho is Thomas Clark as AG and his repeated help of organized crime to assist his boss, President Truman, get elected repeatedly.
The man personally got James Ragen killed allowing LCN to control gambling as it does to this day. The story touches everyone from the AG to LCN to the Annenberg's.
No, it wasn't. Saying hyperbole like this hurts the message you are trying to bring because people know you are just using marketing.
The FBI has NEVER not politicized things. The FBI was illegally bugging the First Ward DNC offices in Chicago in the early 1960's, with the Attorney General's signoff and this is IRREFUTABLE. So the FBI knew the DNC was engaging in corruption for 25 more years before Operation Gambat took Marcy/Roti etc down.
People on the right and especially Trumpers act like what happened in 2020 is something novel or new. It's not. They are just mad it happened to them when its been happening since Boss Tweed and before, as any true student of history will tell you.
Here is Sam Giancana and Tony Accardo discussing political people who are crooked (and not crooked) back in 1959!!
Nothing was ever done by the FBI about any of this. None of the politicians really ever got in trouble until the late 80's when the Bush family took out the criminals in charge of the DNC, in a sense helping the Clinton Crime family take over the party.
This is why the DNC doesn't truly hate Bush or his band of neocon lackeys. The Bush crime family empowered the Clinton crime family by removing all the mafia control of their party for them.
All they had to do was change laws, do illegal shit, and continue to erode personal privacy to do it. Same as it ever was'd
Dismantling might be a multi-step process beyond his skill, but he probably could have mass-declassified everything and humiliated them, and he certainly could have pardoned Snowden. Either he chickened out or someone threatened him.
They already tried that with the "Family Jewels" that proved they were removing democratically elected leaders, pondering assassinations, and overthrowing regimes while also being involved in KKK murders as part of COINTELPRO like Gary Thomas Rowe
Another election with hopefully more honest, law abiding human beings. And there are some in the government if you watch the proceedings and their votes. That doesn’t mean I will agree totally, but there are better runners.
When we have one that forces vaccines, spends us into bankruptcy, and champions un winnable wars. I am sure we could do better with much less government and government spending. "Our government is so big it is unmanageable" Barrack Obama
I wouldn't say get rid of, but there needs to be the sacking of tens of thousands of bureaucrats complete with the confiscation of all federal pension and health plans save Social Security and Medicare along with gag orders so none of them can end up writing books or ending up as a talking head. There also needs to be a substantial spending cut to each agency, at least on the order of 20%.
Love it when you offer specifics, M. Stephen. However, I think we might be past the point of repair, and to the point of complete overhaul/replacement.
You presume correctly, but why the scare quotes? Do you think the Deep State does not exist?
I do not trust the State for anything. I do think it appropriate that the State is my agent internationally. Is that not one of the State's legitimate functions?
Agree. Senator Paul had a plan to fiscally balance things in 3-5 years, but that was before this latest round of spending. The tea party “Taxation without representation “ cry comes to mind. Big cuts, indeed, need to be made in our bloated government. Your idea of a percentage right across the board sounds fair and might alleviate some bickering. Most Americans, who are on a budget and live within their means, will applaud this.
Sadly, the cuts he has in mind are unrealistic. I've done research (which I write about) and the most that could be cut from the federal budget nation wide is in the range of $400-$500 billion per year, something which includes gutting corporate welfare.
Pre Covid, the deficit was $1 trillion, so what could be cut would at best, half that. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid have simply grown so vast in size due to increased life expectancy that little can be cut, even assuming there is 5% fraud. Such is the price of longevity.
I think there’s a lot of pork that can be cut as well as grants. A council of normal Americans with the many organizations that have reports on this would be good. All of us Americans need to get on board with this or else I’m afraid our economy may be in for bigger troubles, if it isn’t bad enough already. I’m sick of paying for waste and not the basics. Guess I’ve lived frugal and basic all my life and been happy and free living always within my means, whether below the poverty line or in middle class. Social security and health are basics and we have enough for help here, but the programs need to be accountable. That’s the clinker.
You can vote your way into an authoritarian regime but you have to shoot your way out. And that ain’t gonna happen. Americans love and revere and idolize their big bad government, they will keep lowering their head for the leash and beg the government to tighten it
Great comment and so very true. Freedom lets them in, but getting them out totally different. Nearly completed Helen Raleigh's book, "Confusious Never Said" which details how a few (just like with Lenin and Stalin) and small minority duped the population and now the CCP has an iron grip on the populace.
I fear you are right...and I fear that the they have created the perfect storm for violence...which is the last thing anyone needs. Between inflation, high fuel prices due to idiotic domestic policies, supply chain issues and their impact on food production at home, the public is becoming hostile. All with the backdrop of the tech titan thought police, the Truckers waiting outside DC, DNC backed teachers unions and the CRT garbage mind you. Should the swamp rats pull a Trudeau, or even half one by merely freezing bank accounts...a civil war would start.
You know, 10 years ago I would have said you were nuts, but now you are dead right. These groups have grown out of control and there is no one to rein them in. They harm more than they help the country!!
Interesting you'd bring this up without reminding other readers that the CIA paid Amazon $600 million for cloud computing in the autumn of 2013. After challenges by IBM, Microsoft and others who had superior cloud infrastructures were rejected, Amazon then purchased the WaPo in December of '13 for only $300M - so low a price for the once august institution, that thinking people have to wonder if it was a forced sale.
And now, Amazon tirelessly collects information on Americans (indeed people all over the world) and commingles it with CIA information in the cloud, and then disinforms the public via The WaPo. A slick operation perfected by the CIA in all of those little Banana Republics "governed" by our little brown brothers.
Makes me think of what the late James Kallstrom, one-time head of the FBI New York field office who was active in bringing down the mafia said referring to the post 2015 FBI post 2016:
"I do not recognize the agency I gave 28 years of my life to."
I used to watch FBI Files regarding cases which occurred prior to 2005 and he hosted that series. So yes, it goes beyond the CIA, it includes the now thoroughly corrupt FBI.
The FBI has always been corrupt; but, as anyone with any sense of the real truth of what is really going in and with the U.S., the Western and other allies, as well as the world as a whole could predict, they and all of the "security" [sic(k)] agencies have gotten worse and worse.
I thought recently that I'd like to get a sex robot. But then I realized, no I wouldn't, because I'd be afraid all the time that the robot could kill me at any time, or squeeze my johnson off....
Isn't life grand in the doldrums of the slew of despond?
Besides the mostly ignored Church report the FBI has never been closely examined or reformed during its entire existence. Any agency that has existed for decades without any real oversight is bound to become corrupted and a law unto itself. This insulated agency needs to be completely revamped and reorganized. Real outsiders from various law enforcement agencies are needed to REPLACE the whole executive level of the FBI. Oversight by Congress and other civilian agencies must be the order of the day.
The FBI exposed its rotten core during its' jihad against Pres. Trump. Love him or hate him he was duly elected and a legal POTUS in spite of Hillary's best efforts to wreck his Presidency and undermine his authority. The alphabet agencies were instrumental in her efforts at a soft Coup d'erat. Everyone that furthered that effort should be interviewed under oath and where possible indicted and tried for offenses against the nation. Don't hold your breath. Since these people don't play by the rules it is almost impossible to curb their lust for power and control using our legal system. The problem with armed revolutions is that one tyrannical group is usually replaced by another. Few Democracies get to survive for long periods since they are conceived by humans and are just as easily destroyed by those same vain glorious power seeking human beings. The cycle has been pretty consistent.
It really is not surprising as this is the ugly side of human nature. Founders seemed to have some sense of human nature and how it corrupts but could not foresee technological advances giving rise to what we see today. As great as the Constitution is, not able to fully accommodate that and how, combined with human nature, would manifest itself.
True, as the founders never anticipated political lifers. It took two attempts at term limit abuse and finally a major offender to get the two-term rule codified into law. Congressional term limits were likewise never considered...and now you have people in congressional office for over 50 years, not to mention state and municipal office before that. Ironically it was the League of Woman Voters who derailed the attempts at term limits in the 90s.
Political dynasties are another problem, hence why the swamp rats almost always seem to be engaged in inbreeding, intermarrying one another to cement power. Amendments are needed, however I fear things will have to get worse first before enough people, enough states pass them.
Certainly the FBI was involved too, and the British (MI6, GCHQ) - but only the CIA has the skills and experience in Coup's and in overthrowing governments all around the world. The FBI probably cooperated, but the Architects were CIA (current or former: Langley has no exit doors).
The 1970's Coup in Australia was orchestrated jointly by the CIA and MI6 - just as an example. The MI6 played the major role in that Coup, because Australia is within the UK "sphere of influence" (not to say former/current British Colony)
I agree. Jake Sullivan is certainly an important piece in the control structure of the Biden "Lizards" Cabal - along with Avril Haines. We know that Jake Sullivan has lawyered-up, back in Oct. and he is one of the main targets of Durham
you mean to remove demented Joe Biden? the conspirators have a huge problem, because they don't want the other idiot, either (=Kamala). So perhaps they will "suicide" both, or...
and who will they place in the White House? Certainly not old Russian Vodka Nancy Pelosi (3rd in succession).
They have nobody to replace him with. Harris is a dimwit, much like AOC, Warren is nearly as bad, Sanders is too old, Hillary has the popularity of dog excrement on a brand new sidewalk, while Yang has left the party and Gabbard would be even harder for the swamp rats to control than Trump as she knows how they work.
Tulsi Gabbard is not the combination of Winston Churchill and Joan of Arc so many Greenwald/Taibbi/Weiss readers think she is. Be REAL careful what you wish for...
So far, she has shown integrity. If she had gone along, she would have got along. She was selected for bigger things than Congress. She crossed killery and that was that.
Dear Gordon Freeman (what a moniker): Why try to act so wise? Tulsi would be miles ahead of anybody in the pack. How could she be worse than a demented corpse?
Whose trying to act wise? If you like Gabbard, vote for her. Just be aware that you're voting for another of the Frick 'n Frack automatons the WEF loves to foist on the world, just like Justin Trudeau or Buttigieg. All those fresh faced assholes just want a fucking cool career in Government, and all they know how to do is fuck things up. Her platform is straight Bernie Sanders socialism with a smiley-face plastered on. You can have her, I don't give a shit.
Yes, she probably would be better than the demented corpse. So was Donald Trump. Or pretty mush anybody grabbed off the sidewalk in front of Grand Central Station.
Why is it never mentioned that her family in Jamaica once owned slaves. Seems everyone else is held to account for actions that happened before their family even came to the U. S. Ms Harris was a career whore without an ounce of intelligence and whose ambition far out ran her competence.
That's the thing, with all of the distrust in the government now, rigging will only create a civil war, much as pulling a Trudeau would. Inflation, fuel scarcity, supply chain issues, unchecked spending and debt...people are hurting...and should the swamp rats cross the red line well....it will not be pretty nor will it be good for anyone.
Remember Watergate. First, resignation of VP. President nominates/Senate confirms a replacement. Then President resigns, and the unelected VP becomes President.
Circumvents the Constitutional limitation of 2 terms for whomever is nominated as replacement VP...
Hi Jude. I checked the Watergate story. So you mean: Spiro Agnew was Nixon VP. Then, in Oct. 1973 Agnew was forced to resign (for charges "officially" unrelated to Watergate).
In Oct 1973, Nixon picked Gerald Ford as VP. Senate confirmed. Then, when Nixon was forced to resign, Ford became President. Correct?
Yes, that is how it went. Maneuvering to fill a vacant VP slot first, getting the preferred candidate in as VP. Then elevation to Presidency. It was a back door approach.
A side note- Gerald Ford was a member of the Warren Commission.
VERY interesting... so Gerald Ford was a puppet of Allen Dulles? We know it was Allen Dulles running the show at the "Warren Commission"...
Allen Dulles = the Mastermind of the Kennedy Assassination. (The Mastermind of the Kennedy Assassination investigating the Kennedy Assassination - isn't it neat?)
Your info about the VP switch and Nixon removal has been very helpful, Jude: Thanks a lot!
oh, I forgot: wasn't Gerald Ford who nominated George Bush as CIA Director, in Jan. 1976?
Yea, that's what happened, and Ford was the guy on the Warren Commission who moved the JFK backwound from T-3, where it actually was to the "neck". Ford was also a MKUltra handler for Cathy O’Brien, and molested her when she was 13 years old. Ford was incredibly corrupt.
Call me crazy, but it would be a way that they could re-install Obama in the Presidency. He cannot be re-elected, but there would be no restriction if he were elevated from the VP slot.
And as all have pointed out, they don’t have anybody viable in the wings.
I never understood why the CIA/Deep State pushed the demented Joe Biden as the Democrat candidate since the Primaries. That remains a mystery. Unless there was something related to the 30 BioWeapon Labs that the Pentagon set up in Ukraine... Perhaps Biden was involved in those Labs too, besides Burisma? (just a thought...)
Now we know that the Pentagon and DARPA are dirty as much as the CIA.
That is pretty easy to answer. Because he is clearly suffering from dementia that the MSM willingly ignores, he can easily be manipulated as a figurehead by those whom the Deep State actually vests with Presidential authority: obviously Ron Klain and Jake Sullivan; there are undoubtedly others. They issue press releases and other announcements in his name, and very closely manage all of his personal appearances. If, on occasion, that management fails and he makes some off-script utterance, they get the media to publish references to his "well-known propensity to stumble when speaking", and/or issue an after-the-fact clarification. This has happened more times in the past year than I can count. And even if he is somewhat more lucid than I give him credit for, they probably have a massive file of compromising information on him (including details from the business dealings that are central to the emails in direct question here) with which to blackmail him. Senile Ol' Joe seems to me to be the perfect puppet. Regarding succession, my guess is that they like the odds for keeping Joe breathing until 2024, when they can get another Deep State/Globalist twunt elected, possibly even one that wears a GOP armband (Romney? Cheney? Lindsay Graham?). If that doesn't work, I'm convinced that the strategy involves openly discarding the Constitution at some point, perhaps the thought is that an exingency that requires that to happen sooner, rather than later, likely won't derail their plans.
Actually, it's pretty simple and they as much as admitted it: there was NO WAY even the intel agencies, the deep state, or even God Almighty was going to be able to push Sanders over the finish line.
With his 180 on immigration, joining the woke crowd over Trump being racist and now clamoring for confronting Russia, Sanders probably was an empty suit. He may have once been independent, yet he is and has been part of the swamp for some time. He, like Rubio on the right, is just good at hiding it.
I agree about Bernie Sanders, but I'm talking about the beginning of the Dem Primaries, here: it is clear that Biden was the CIA candidate of choice. But why the CIA didn't have a "replacement CIA candidate"?
They are not stupid, at the CIA (well, I'm not sure about that, actually...) They knew perfectly that Biden was demented already in 2019.
Yup, they really screwed themselves as far as succession goes. They need to get Biden, Harris and Pelosi all on the same plane....and wait for God to sort things out.
We all lived through election night, dude. Never in my life have a bunch of swing states simply stopped counting, only to magically reverse themselves in the morning with boxes of votes tilted for Biden so heavily that the numbers weren't replicated ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY.
They got exactly the votes they needed, exactly where they needed them, EXACTLY WHEN THEY NEEDED THEM.
Exactly. And the election fraud was not confined to those 6 "battleground States", but involved rigging the elections in at least 17 States, including Virginia, Minnesota, Colorado, Oregon and WA. (and more).
There was massive fraud even in Florida, Ohio, Texas, North Carolina. But in those States it didn't work out well enough for the conspirators.
I stayed up tell 3 am CDT watching the vote count and then went to sleep confident that Trump had won WI and PA, with no thought that he would loose either AZ or GA. I saw the market rally and the Chinese stock exchange get hit and thought Trump pulled it off....the following morning was a major shock.
The actual problem IMO is the lawyers. The bar association is the most powerful corrupt group on earth. Every major company in the US is forced to pay their members simply to do business, and then when it comes time for those lawyers to actually go to court, they settle 95% of the time!
Its not surprising Kamala Harris' husband works for DLA Piper, look at who their partners are. They are a cabal of globalist lawyers. This is backed with irrefutable evidence.
Every single living President except Trump uses the same lawyer :)
This is all well and good and I believe true (coincides with every other election that had some bullshit scandal tied to it since well before Joe Kennedy promised the mob the farm to get his son elected and well past Richard Nixon getting bags of cash from mobsters like Anthony Provenzano.
But when is something going to actually change? The corruption isn't gone, they are just better at hiding it. The lies aren't gone, they are just better at crafting them.
This is a problem that will never go away as long as people think it's OK to selfishly fuck over others to get things they want. This is why ancient civilizations created religions, to try and constrain the behavior of people to be for the greater good, and they know the laws of man would never stop all the bad people.
They had to create religion as another tier of "You better not do that even if you dont get consequences now". Its time now as a society to choose good, and that has to start with every single one of us on this board if its going to start anywhere.
great comment, Iconclast! When, on Nov 6, 2020, I began investigating the 2020 Election Fraud, I never imagined what this would uncover. There was Fraud in 2004, in 2000, in 2012, and thanks to tips from my followers on Twitter, I found out that Fraud has been rampant in many States since 30 years ago. What a Rabbit Hole!
Now we know that the FBI is 100% corrupt, the DOJ is corrupt, the Supreme Court is totally corrupt.
By the way: Chief Justice John Roberts was nominated by GW Bush in 2005. GW Bush Election was Rigged, so also Chief Justice John Roberts is illegitimate - if we follow the Rule of Law - https://gregrubini.substack.com/p/const-crisis-1 -
Congress is corrupt, too: at least 70% of Senators and Rep's got their seats thanks to Election Fraud. So: nobody with any legitimate authority "certified" Joe Biden.
How can we solve this mess?
In my opinion, the corruption is too extensive and widespread. It cannot be rooted out. We have to dismantle everything, and we need to re-found our Constitutional Republic from scratch, re-start from a clean slate. I do not see any other possible solution.
Massive government and bureaucracies controlling almost unlimited govt spending will always devolve into corruption. It is unavoidable, as the founders knew. The system creates the corruption.
Too many people believe we just need to elect better leaders. They don't understand that anyone in politics who gets beyond "dog catcher" is already a player in the corruption game.
Goes back further even to Truman and the Pendergast Machine. This is why Truman's AG (Thomas Clark, future Supreme Court Justice) let out Paul Ricca and the rest of the recently convicted gangsters who got 10 years Federal time.
I sadly agree with your last paragraph, but I fear how painful that will be to accomplish.
Richard J. Daley the Mayor of Chicago from 1956-1976 created the Democratic Machine and was the last of the good ones that actually stood for working class folks that built the Chicago skyline you see today. Daley was a fighter for the little guy and was just a little more corrupt than his elders of the time. We all can see who the political enemies are now that DJT pulled the sewer cap off DC and it now is time to get rid of the stench.
Certainly you have seen Bernie's pre-election video that told you to expect exactly what you saw? Of course the COVID-induced mass mail in ballots would be counted last and reverse everything reported before. (sarcasm intended)
Washington is unusual for a U.S. state in that it only requires that an absentee ballot be postmarked by the day of the election to be valid, while most other states require the ballot to have arrived at the election office by that time. Due to this as well as the state's high number of absentee ballots—more than 60% of all King County voters voted absentee—the initial result of the election was not known until November 17, the last day under state law for election results to be certified by each county's election officials.
Washington state law allows for election officials to evaluate voter intent and correct ballots so that the machines can properly read them. For example, on a Scantron or other optical ballot, an election official might fill in a circle that was not properly marked so that the machine may record the vote.
I believe all these states used Dominion systems, although I am not sure on that point. Even so, no doubt many did. In that light, it is hard to ignore the comment made by Eric Coomer, the senior technical officer at Dominion, that "Trump will not win; I f***ing made sure of that."
I read the article. Looks like real investigative journalism, which takes me back. Still, a reference to Dominion being ‘unfairly’ targeted for election rigging reminds me it is a modern newspaper.
"All cybersecurity experts who have given electronic voting machines any thought agree. These machines have got to go... the electronic voting machines Americans got to solve the problem of voting integrity ... turned out to be an awful idea. That’s because people like me can hack them"...
Byrne, Patrick M. The Deep Rig (pp. 11-12). Deep Capture LLC. Kindle Edition.
Chester, It was Patrick Byrne who was on the Antifa conference call and heard Eric make the statement that he had made sure Trump would not win the 2020 presidential election. If you saw the movie The Deep Rig, you would have seen Byrne saying such. It is also in the book The Deep Rig on Kindle at Amazon.
Byrne had a freind that was infiltrating Antifa at the time, and both of them heard Coomer say this. They didn't know Eric was Coomer at the time, but Byrne eventually tracked down that info.
Shut up there has never been a single election problem in the entire history of the US!
In one breath the DNC says that the 2020 elections were the most secure and fair in history and then in the next breath they tell you DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE!!!
TV rules the world and the sheep follow whatever they are told not because they are stupid but because it takes effort to see through these lies and no one wants to put effort into having to constantly see through lies. We are all busy with actual problems and cant believe people in leadership positions are still pulling this man behind the curtain bullshit in 2022.
Tell me about Hayden and John Brennan, then. And tell me about the secret agreement between Allen Dulles and Martin Bormann - let's see how much you know about the CIA - dude
The 2020 Presidential Election was rigged by a cabal of corporate oligarchs to install their own meat-puppet into the White House as a titular figure so they could rule behind the curtain of Oz
What are you, a censor? You might be right that there was little/un-appreciable election fraud. But millions disagree, and have lost trust in the democratic process in our country.
Doesn't that, in the very least, alarm you? And yet, all you do is make fun.
McCabe, Brennan, Comey, and judge Sullivan that was on the Flynn case are all part of the corrupt group. Brennan led the 50 fbi/cia guys that signed the note regarding the laptop as looking like Russian collusion. Personally I think they played that card one too many times. The above mafia crowd too, all lied under oath too. I’m like Trump in the sense that I never thought the deep muck state was that big of a hole. I am praying Durham has courage and doesn’t cave into the elites like Barr did.
Pretty sure the DNC is also pressuring Vladislav Klyushin to say that Trump made him hack the DNC but I could be wrong. My guess is they will trot him out as part of an investigation in late 2024 just as elections hit. He wont say anything court but the media will imply that he worked with Trump.
Sorry meant Ivan Ermakov, a former officer in the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU), a military intelligence agency of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, who was previously charged in July 2018 in federal court in Washington, D.C. for his alleged role in a hacking and influence effort related to the 2016 U.S. elections
Back 2015 I noticed Trump would win based on signage in the legacy area of my city. I told my friend "I am voting for Trump so he can throw a grenade into Congress". Mission accomplished. Many more now see how corrupt Congress is. Next the Federal Reserve needs revealing.
reading right now, William. Just subscribed to your Substack: you have quite a number of interesting articles I want to read.
And yes: I've been following all the events related to the Election Fraud very closely, since the beginning: I had a powerful account on Twitter, with 164,000 followers, and 72 Million views in 28 days. The communist Tyrants of Twitter deleted my account on Nov. 16, 2020, the day after I wrote a detailed Thread on the rigged Dominion Machines - Over the Target...
The CIA is a significant player in US politics, but to bring it closer to home, that is the Biden administration itself, well, Blinkin, his secretary of state,is as close to a neocon as one can get, and both Biden and Blinken are on the same page when it comes to US primacy in this world. Blinken supported all of our middle eastern wars, and even supported Obama's position in arming Saudi Arabia in it's genocidal war in Yemen, however he did back out of that. He backs up the neocon position that the US not scale back it's role in the world, or operate with any restraints No wonder the democrats have such a big thump's up from the neocons. I wrote on this site before that the democrats tied the hate for Trump with Russia, which sent a message to Putin that you will never be accepted, and we are now seeing the results. Conflating the two made it easier for news outlets like the NY Times to do the same, and anything that interfered with a Biden win was brushed aside by defining it as Russian propaganda.
This was the story—or rather the story of the coverup about the story and your decision to walk rather than collude—that cemented my respect for you as a journalist of integrity, Glenn.
Don’t you find it disgusting that the MSM is now admitting to the truths they were responsible for maligning and obscuring on behalf of political and corporate interests—as if they’re trying to reclaim a sliver of their credibility now that it’s “safe” to do so? The NYT “exposing” (the long-known) CDC scientific fraud, the SNL skit mocking the COVID religion, Trevor Noah saying Trump would never have been disrespected like Biden when it comes to foreign relations …
This lockstep pivoting to a more critical stance is highly suspicious, and I can’t tell if it’s to cover their butts as the Big Lies collapse of their own weight and justice is finally served or if they’re priming us for more shenanigans and perhaps a Biden scapegoat ouster.
It's all in lockstep, like blue-check mask-wearing turning into a Ukrainian flag on Twitter--literally overnight. The evil is right out in the open now.
I was in a Zoom meeting yesterday and the CEO of a major entity in a major US city sat there with the Ukrainian flag as his backdrop! “The latest thing…”
During the Trump years they conflated Trump hate and Russia, so it was easy to claim it was Russian disinformation, and they did this kind of thing repeatedly. The NY Times could even get away with it, even knowing their readership is more educated and no doubt more informed politically, but they are also Trump haters, ergo they didn't trust Russia either, since Russia-gate for them was a reality. The democrats were very manipulative during the Trump administration and they did it not only to oust Trump, but to vilify Russia using Trump hate to do it. I believe we are now suffering the consequences of that in the invasion of the Ukraine. The message to Putin, to Russia, during Trump's four years in office was you are not one of us and never will be.
"This was the story—or rather the story of the coverup about the story and your decision to walk rather than collude—that cemented my respect for you as a journalist of integrity, Glenn."
We are all terrorists now according to the swamp rats. It makes me wish I owned a big rig and was able to be part of the trucker convoy. If they wouldn't let them into DC, I'd seriously consider driving through one of their 'checkpoints' to allow the others to follow.
The timing of the Times article isn't curious all things considered> Ukraine etc.....apparently 'someone' is trying to get ahead of some revealing bombs dropping on their heads....
All that is necessary is that one of the swamp rat lies is debunked, whether CCP-19 came from gain of function, that 1/6 was an inside job or that proof emerges that high level officials in team Obama and team Hillary were in on the censorship. Then trust will be lost with the public and with it, the authority of the swamp rats will collapse.
yes, I immediately had a feeling there was something else behind it.... Durham?
+add the Cuomo's departures earlier, and now the sudden NYT 180°. As a matter of fact, CNN and the NYT have been complicit and co-conspirators in "Seditious Conspiracy to overthrow the Government".
We live in a very scary time for the United States, and all of Western Civilization. Here in the US, neither the Russians or Chinese need to work as hard as they probably do to create disinformation campaigns. We have our own media, Big Tech, academia, and of course, the Democratic Party doing it all by themselves. We now exist in a dangerous in-between world situated somewhere between a Constitutionally Limited Republic and Orwell's Oceania. We left the Republic some time ago and we're nearing Orwell's world swiftly. When John Brennan and James Clapper are your go-to guys for 'truth', and when I have to put the world 'truth' in quotes, you know we're in the Bad Days. (that we even tolerate people calling themselves 'fact checkers' is a glaring sign that we've passed a point of no return).
Kudos to you once again, Glenn, for having the bravery and doggedness to pursue actual truth, no matter where it leads. Would that we had young journalists being taught to do that in their 'J' schools as opposed to being taught the greatest good is being an 'activist', - whatever that is. And that the moral cause of the day is more important than the actual truth of the matter.
And what is the moral cause? Well, whatever you want it to be. Whatever the mob decides it to be from minute to minute. One day we're pointing and screaming at people who aren't masked up, like a Donald Sutherland knock-off from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers, then in the snap of fingers, we're pointing out that anyone who questions the moral imperative agreed to regarding Ukraine must be working for the Russians. Yes, point at them and scream. (Don't even worry that the same people who gave us weapons of 'mass destruction' are back for more).
The 2020 election was stolen in many ways, by many people, working on many fronts. Before the election, during the election, and post election (does anybody actually view the out of control riot of January 6 a greater disaster than 9/11?. Talk about moral imperatives!)
But the thing is this: All of this happened in front of us. We all saw it- all of us on the right and on the left. Like a car crash in slow motion, we all watched it. Our brains noted the information. We did not need the New York Times and Facebook to confirm what we saw, what we know. Yet half, or more than half of the country is fine disregarding the evidence of their own senses, to take up the cause for a side- even if that side is lying and they know it's a lie. Remember- this nation believed for years (and many still do) that Trump was in Moscow having Russian prostitutes pissing on him, that Putin has the photos, and that he was compromised. To even write that makes me shake my head in disbelief. But the actual words of Hunter Biden, from his own laptop- no...that was Russian disinformation. The actual words of his partner, Tony Bobulinski, had to be made up.
I read the New York Post articles on Hunter and Joe and James Biden's business dealings. I read Glenn Greenwald back then. I watched Tucker Carlson interview Tony Bobulinski and was aghast that it just sat there by itself. No one commented. No one gave it an ounce of time. Had that been about Trump? Whoo boy! The world would have stopped. And it should have.
We live in an age where The New York Times has proven itself so unreliable for facts, for truth, for reality, that to call it the paper of record is to say to the world that our standards for truth are gone. Done. One would have thought that their throwing in with Stalin while he starved millions of Ukrainians back in the 1930's would have been enough bad rep for one paper- forever. Apparently it takes more than that to kill a lie.
Anybody still think that 81 million people voted for that sack of potatoes we prop up in front of a mic and call our President?
You are, of course, correct. But don't let your party loyalty rise above your own self-interest. Yes, the Republicans suck mightily at a lot of things. But the Republicans are very soft, very squishy when it comes to standing for anything. I'm not talking about the rank and file. I'm talking about those still running the GOP, such as the Senators I saw yesterday in a photo-op: McConnell, Thune, Barasso, Blunt, Ernst, et. al. These people worked as hard for the status quo as any group there. They worked against the former President. And frankly, the GOP base is tired of them and looking for new blood. But their impact is nowhere near the threat the Democrats are. The Democrats call you fascist while they censor publications, jail people without charges, run the Russia Collusion campaign with the FBI and CIA to hog-tie a President, and literally work to steal an election (with help from Big Tech, and others). They encourage nation tearing riots and bail out criminals in order to upset the country and push an election their way. They create the defund the police movement in order to further destabilize our society. They sealed up the Biden laptop news and drummed up Covid fear so high that our entire economy was forced to shut down. To what end? So that a Democrat would win the White House? So Nancy Pelosi could retake the gavel and give more drunken podium speeches?
The Democratic Party as we see it today, is as bizarre and corrupt a group of people ever to hold office in this country. Honestly, the Dems should not see another vote for two generations. It'll take at least that long to clean them out and make them palatable again.
There you go correctly talking about the Status Quo, then INCORRECTLY talk about what one might describe as "substantive differences", which are, in reality VERY minor. Oops!
On whole BOTH parties serve the interests of the ultra-rich over the interests of We, The People... Make NO mistake about it; neither one, on whole, is vote-worthy, merely a few stragglers around the edges are maybe OK.
I don't disagree with you on the existence of a one party system. But the parties do have striking differences in their base philosophies. And the Dems reach levels the Republicans have not even thought about yet. They both worked to stymie the Trump administration in more ways than we'll ever know. But the very almost religious-like fury with which the Dems approached it was much more than anything the GOP had going for it. In fact, the Dems are still going after Trump, even now as I write this. (??!!) The Dems are armed with both that religious fury, coupled with a bizarre blend of Marxism and fantasy world thinking. I find the Dems very dangerous. I find the Republicans annoying and in need of change, but they can be neutered. It's like an aggressive cancer vs an annoying cold. Both are bad, but one of them will kill you.
The NYT has forever destroyed their credibility over this single issue. At least The National Enquirer doesn't expect you to actually believe half of their content.
Dude, if this were the only lie that the NYT ever published.
They and the WaPo, to name but two MSM outlets, were all in on the lies about Iraqi WMDs, the bogus Steele dossier, russiagate, the lies about Syria, etc.. No heads rolled, and they still call themselves "the nation's paper of record".
Astute observers may note that the lies ever always only seem to go in the direction of empire.
They can call themselves whatever they want, but a majority of thinking people understand the game now. The intentional spiking of the Hunter Biden laptop story was the final straw of their coming out party as a tool of the power structure. Any time I see an article sourced by the NYT, I automatically dismiss it as misinformation and I know quite a few people who think the same way. Reality is what is and pretending it is not that doesn't make it so.
A question is why they published this story now? As suggested above - trying to get ahead of a story? What story? US is desperate for Russia not to discover anything interesting in Ukraine.
What's really annoying is that the "liberal" set has completely forgiven/forgotten all the lies and still goes to the NYT for their daily dose of hipster propaganda. Their columnists are literally nauseating.
It is worse than that. The liberal class is in love with the CIA/FBI/etc. When I ask my liberal Russiagater friends when did they learn to love FBI, I never get an answer.
Shall go all the way back to Walter Duranty, the Stalinist getting Pulitzers writing pure propaganda lies for Russia, and Sulzberger burying the Holocaust in the B-Section?
Yep. They had a name for it then, "yellow journalism."
Honestly, they became cultural icons for too long, but I'd add Woodward and Bernstein to the list. No, they didn't exaggerate or fabricate or lie. Ben Bradley insisted on TWO identified-in-print sources. (Remember his repeated line in the movie version, "You haven't got it. Keep digging.") But they spawned what's called "smoking gun journalism." Pick a target. Go destroy them. Become a media hero. Now add the ghouls and emotionally dysfunctional losers on social media, and you have an army of spreaders who don't actually CARE about truth, much less knowledge. Wisdom? That's a boomer concept.
Add clickbait headlines, monetizing websites and books that become "bestsellers" overnight. Now Bob Woodward is publishing material that his old boss would call crap.
Um, doesn’t Glenn actually credit the NYT with *not* going with the flow on this issue? “Prior to the election, the Times, to their credit, was *one of the few* to apply skepticism to the CIA's pre-election lie, noting on October 22 that ‘no concrete evidence has emerged that the laptop contains Russian disinformation.’
Not to take anything away from Feral Finster’s earlier comment…
Hmm...I hadn't thought of that angle. If a bunch of us signed a pledge to subscribe if certain heretofore-thought-of-as MISinformation were suddenly and forcefully "myth-busted" in New York Times....
ALL traditional paper media and their internet instances have gravitated to a regard for facts and truth that is far lower than the standards embraced by the National Enquirer and other legacy rags that relied on gossip and fabrication. I once was involved in newspaper distribution, and the worst garbage sheet I saw during that time was the Philadelphia Journal (aka "Philly Urinal") which regularly featured lead stories with headlines such as "Teacher Killed by Nail Through Head". The "journalism" of today is far less respectable than that.
Integrity and principles are lacking in society. All too often people excuse what one group of individuals do if they agree with them. That is why the DNC hates Glenn as he follows the corruption, regardless of whose watch it occurs under. It's also why I value him as he is a strait shooter.
It worked, Biden got elected. Another reason we must be against censorship. We can't have big tech and the security agencies telling us what we can and should read
Why do I get the feeling that the laptop contained information about the actual goings on in Ukraine? Were we to know what was on that laptop, perhaps we would not be marching lockstep into WW3.
interesting instinct, and the question of how all of this , relates to current events in
Ukraine where I find that much of the media, and almost all of the politicians are in
denial about the Azov Battalion, could care less about the Eastern Ukraine population (Donbass area) apparently 14,000 dead since 2015 killed by bombardments from
Ukraine. Unfortunately individuals like Tulsi Gabbard and Tucker Carlson who are
trying to be rational about this, and apparently concerned about the blood lust that has
taken over are described as traitors etc. We are at a very dangerous moment in our
country, wiping out what may be the last vestiges of what we think of as democratic
All Ukrainians are in Azov now. They are in it because mad dogs like Putin have upset the peace of Europe. For years, since they were formed in 2014, they had warned that this day would come, that Putin would invade. Most people thought they were too hot-headed, too crudely nationalistic. They thought that raw aggression like the one we are seeing was impossible in the 20th Century Europe. They felt Azov was a throwback to another age, completely inappropriate in a nation that wanted economic, political and cultural integration with the West. Well here we are, 44 million Ukrainian nationalists and the volunteer battalions no longer seem so extreme. Putin has not only accomplished this, he had gotten Germany to double its military budget. He’s gotten Sweden and Finland to consider joining NATO. The Poles, the Latvians, Estonians and the Lithuanians are on wartime footing. No one needs to deny Azov. They are fighting the army of a man that is now widely denounced as a murderer and a war criminal. Ok sasha, you can call me stupid now. I know your routine.
Right on cue. Fucking sasha. You are as dependable as an old dog. Imagine, Facebook allows people to call for the killing of Russians while Russians are actually killing Ukrainians. Ironic, no?
Yes, Fritzi, the as bombs fall on Mariupol you raise the same points that the Russian ambassador to the UN did yesterday. Excellent timing. You will find a dozen or so people on this forum that agree with you. They hold fringe views with respect to the rest of the world but as all members of sectarian group know, only they and their small in-group can discern the dark and nefarious forces that control everything. I wonder how it is you could remain here in the belly of the beast when for eight years a simple trip to Donetsk or Luhansk might have allowed you to fight alongside freedom fighters in one of the last bastions of true democracy in the world and kill Azov nazis to boot. Let the howling begin.
I suggest learning about the history of war propaganda.
Zelensky is a professional actor and TV producer. Anything we see could be staged. "The last step for the media upon preparing a country for war involves continual reporting of atrocities. Fabricating and or embellishing stories will serve to stir up and strengthen emotional reactions, which will eventually lead to a sudden urge to go to war. The focus of propaganda during wartimes is often on children. In World War I, stories were published detailing how Germans would throw babies into the air and spear them onto their bayonets during their marches. [...] The Iraqi soldiers did not, as America claimed, throw babies out of incubators." https://web.stanford.edu/class/e297a/War%20Propaganda%20Past%20Present%20and%20Future.doc
Oh, so Zelensky is not in Kyiv, he is an actor hiding out somewhere on a film lot in Southern California. His appearances, all all filmed in front of a green screen. As for the damage to Kharkiv, Kyiv, Marioupol, Irpin...., that one can view on twitter, YouTube and hundreds of other sights all fabricated, CGI, not by thousands of eye witnesses with cameras uploading images. Thanks for exposing this, the is biggest hoax in the history of humanity. And I thought the moon landing was a big lie. On second thought, you are a moron. You have proved it with your comment. Attaching a link to a Stanford U lecture on propaganda doesn't maker you any less of a moron. Do you even read your own shit before you post it. And don't come back saying I'm denying propaganda exists.
I don't care where Zelensky is, but stories about Russians bombing maternity wards should be seen in the context of historical war propaganda that was later debunked. It is a useful observation of academics that made-up atrocities against children are a common tactic.
Given the history of war propaganda, it would be surprising if Ukraine were not trying to shower the US with bogus images.
So you don't think a maternity ward was bombed. Is that, right? And if it has been bombed what penance will you pay later for your lack of humanity and compassion. Atrocities happen in war time, that your concern is for the ‘truth’ instead of the maimed and injured says it all. You are not a doubting Thomas, you are an idiot. If you cannot discern the difference between truth and fiction based on the fact that fiction exists, you are. not only an idiot, you are confused. I know I have a reputation on this forum for insulting some people I disagree with. Even they would acknowledge, however, that in your case, I’m right.
I’m pretty sure the Russian Embassy can email it to you. They gave it four stars. Note: only films by or about the great leader get five stars. But you already know that.
Again, for anyone who would take you seriously, sasha, I would direct them to the Center for Political Innovation. They seem to have generated all of sasha’s talking points.
It's more than propaganda, it's group-think or herd think combined with a need for people to conform with others. It's times like this when I thank God for having mild autism, as I could care less about 'fitting in.'
The BBC has been reporting on the situation in Eastern Ukraine, i.e., Russian incursions and killing Ukrainians living there in the Ukrainian defense forces, before the current Russian invasion.
Les, there are half a dozen cultists on this forum that have bought into Russian inspired propaganda for years. They all seem to sip from the same puddle. They rely on a handful of ‘alternative ‘ sources that have convinced them that somehow, everyone else is either duped, stupid or a CIA asset and that the truth is their’s alone. Since they all rely on a very narrow ideological tendency spun through a handful of writers/bloggers who cite each other, solely, and never contradict each other, they have convinced themselves the they have uncovered the Rosetta Stone to world affairs. If they come at you for your comment, don’t take it to seriously, they basically hounds howling at the moon while the rest of us just want so peace and quiet.
Even without the laptop we knew that the First Family was on the take from the Ukraine, who are now pulling us into their war with Russia. On top of that were shady business deals in China.
Stick to listening to Carlson, Gabbard, Greenwald and Tabbi. Even if they don't write or speak much about Ukraine, it's better than getting lost in swamp rat lies.
That's an interesting thought. Well, Rudy Giuliani should know, since he had Hunter's laptop... maybe something related to the 30 BioWeapon Labs that the Pentagon set up in Ukraine?
Excellent article. Thank you for continuing to do the hard work of reporting the truth. Though many don’t care about it and feed off the MSM many more are waking up. Keep writing. We need you
This crime against the truth and against the people had me cancelling my subscription to The Times, facebook, and instagram. I never used twitter to begin with, and had already switched years ago from google to duck duck go. I stopped using amazon (owner of the WaPo and financed by the CIA) and started shopping brick and mortars again, and began reading the NYPost daily.
Never have I been so disgusted with the confederacy of dunces made up of media, politicians, and operatives in my entire life. The "threat to democracy" the left laments is not a bunch of clowns protesting on January 6th, or piecemeal gerrymandering and the non-existent "voter suppression", it is the contemptible behavior of the left that began in 2016 with Hillary and the DNC, and continued through the blatant and treacherous disinformation dissembled by a corrosive media and culture-making machine (no surprise that obama became a part of Netflix) during the Trump years, and culminating with a total and well orchestrated pack of lies, censorship and news blackouts in the 2020 campaign.
I've never imagined being so demoralized by the institutions I'd embraced and trusted all of my life (though admittedly with a healthy dose of salt and skepticism) as I've become over the last 20 or so years.
Thank you Mr. Greenwald for your continued vigilance.
The left has been co-opted by the corporatists and so many have fallen into it and are now useful idiots. Most REAL left are now non-partisan or more “conservative.” Trying to prop up ‘left’ is a waste of time and energy at this stage. It’s mostly an identity-based cause. They are now the classical left and are history. I used to be one.
Advise as many people as you can to fully drop such garbage and switch to alternatives. There is Protonmail (a Swiss outfit) over Gmail, there is Brave (a web browser) over Chrome, and there is Duck Duck Go, perhaps the least bad (though still bad given their censorship over Ukraine) web browser.
As for social media...you are smarter to drop it. Just look at who runs the twitter mob, a bunch of brainless, emotion-crazed DNC politicahacks.
Unfortunately, I think that the political rot metastasized when Bush and Cheney orchestrated the WMD issue and got us involved in Iraq and Afghanistan for the last 20 years. It has made me cynical about the integrity of BOTH parties.
You do realize that DDG announced the other day that they would begin censoring results for "misinformation", do you not? NTM that they (as do all of the "alternative" search sites of which I am aware) use initial results from either Google and/or Bing (aka Microsoft) search engines to parse for the results they present to the user? Sadly, internet alchemy doesn't work one whit better that the metallurgical variety. I am very much in favor of finding (or creating) viable alternatives to the domination of the internet by FAANG (et al), but falsely raising hopes about providers that are not truly alternatives is nothing but a distraction.
As for DDG, I didn't hear about said announcement, but regarding their taking search results from Google (IDK about Bing), I am VERY sure that's false. However, it COULD just be that whatever you're searching for at that moment MIGHT happen to be in the top results for both (all three?) search engines; you simply cannot tell from one search alone OR from more popular searches, either. ... I'm guessing you're NOT "an IT professional?"
They do deny using Google (maybe it costs too much?)
My point was rather to advise against any assumption that the results of DDG use will be free of the kind of biases that plague Google and other search tools. I still use DDG sometimes. Most recently I have been using (in order of preference for most searches): Ecosia; Qwant, DDG; the Searx search form; and (yes, sometimes) Google. My primary criterion is privacy, which, to me, means (among other things) that the search tool must deliver results with JavaScript disabled. I harbor no delusions that the search results will not reflect the aggregate biases of all of the parties supplying the services used to fulfill the search request. The way that internet search works, such an outcome is virtually impossible. Even if the results were not parsed and culled based on criteria not requested by the searcher, the mere volume of results from most searches would make the mere order in which they are presented into a formidible tool for advancing a selective POV. Once upon a time there was at least one search (might have been Deja Vu, I really don't recall for certain) that did it's own primary search, and allowed the user full use of Boolean arguments to screen those results, as well as specifying sort criteria. Then Google Search came along and killed off all, or nearly all of its competitors. The sheer volume of sites to be indexed today is an unscalable entry barrier to any upstart who would want to restore the kind of user control I cited above.
No, I was not aware of DDG's plan to start censoring "misinformation". I thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Although I've been aware of their selective search results for sometime, I've always found them to be more objective in their returns than google. Perfection being the enemy of good, I've been satisfied with performance. However, if you are aware of a better engine, I'm all ears (or eyes?)...
What I read is that DuckDuckGo's CEO (?) announced that they will "de-prioritize" certain information, which is different from forbidding it outright. I was very disappointed to read that. Of course, if an article they don't want people to read ends up in slot #500 on their list, that's equivalent to outright censorship.
"DuckDuckGo said it “regularly” flagged problematic search terms with Bing so they could be addressed. After The Times shared some data on search results for numerous terms spread by conspiracy theorists, several of the search results changed entirely, shifting to favor more trustworthy sources.
“Finding the right balance between delivering authoritative results that match the intent of a search query and protecting users from being misled is a very challenging problem,” Bing said in a statement, adding: “We won’t always get that balance just right, but that’s our goal.”
Kamyl Bazbaz, the vice president of communications for DuckDuckGo, said that its results were often similar to Google’s and that most search terms reviewed by The Times received nearly no traffic.
While Google tended to surface links from trustworthy news sources more often, Mr. Bazbaz said adding a few more keywords to any given search usually surfaced the misleading information on Google anyway.
“If you’re looking for this stuff, no matter where you’re searching for it, you can find it,” he said."
CIA? U sure? Seems like Tel Aviv actually runs the place since no matter what scandal is initiated they seem to benefit. Either through monetary policy feeding their banking assets or military actions destroying their neighbors
Considering the number of Russian troops in Syria very close to the border, and the Iran deal that will result in the Russian allies mullahs with bombs I think your calculation is off.
Tel Aviv, in my opinion, is only involved to the extent that their spies do CIA-ordered assassinations in the USA and the CIA does them in Israel so neither breaks laws about domestic violence.
No one, ever. After almost five years of Russia/Trump front page headlines attributed to anonymous sources that were completely false, not one of these sources has been outed. These reporters and publishers have no shame. And yet they continue as though we'll believe them this time.
Because everyone involved in the tech titans, legacy press, DNC and the swamp rats are all Jewish? Spare me that old conspiracy theory that has been demolished more times than I can count....and in being an astronomy buff with the knowledge of how many miles are in each light year, I can count pretty high.
Just because something isn't true doesn't mean they won't say it. Do you really still not understand that at this point?
(Though TBH they would probably call it racist rather than anti-Semitic, considering that Democrats themselves are pretty anti-Semitic these days, even the Jewish ones.)
True, the DNC uses so many baseless buzzwords to shut people up it's insulting. Sadly, Snap has demonstrated that he is a Holocaust denier on this page and therefore is an undisputed idiot.
Right....and there was no famine in Ukraine, the Caucasus and Kazakhstan in 1932-33. Take the tinfoil hat off, it's obstructing the blood flow to your brain.
I confess, I have made a total of three posts on Reddit. You got one thing right. Then again a clock with the date/time feature set to military time is right once a year so...it's not exactly something to brag about.
Holocaust denial and Jewish world domination conspiracy garbage are, along with communist apologists and Armenia denialists, among the few groups of loons who legitimately piss me off.
99% anti-Jewish posts come from deep state agents trying to cause trouble and further the either/or scam. Snap back to your deep state hole wherever it is! Add a dose of anti-Jew and then someone later comes around accusing Glenn of antisemitism because of these kinds of comments, even if Jewish. It's so old already!
Well I’m not deep state. Just a rando from NY who notices that most of the trouble stems from them. Wealth inequity, health care, bio pharmacy, divisive messages in media and Hollywood, foreign wars and AIPAC.
Honestly it’s all so tiresome and I pray we get another populist who names them
I say it every time. Most people would rather believe a lie they know to be a lie than to hear the truth and be forced to deal with it. Literally the entire mainstream Press is architected to support this. Meanwhile, we're not even allowed to see the Fed for the disaster that it is. The same media is happily propagating the fallacy that it's Putin's fault and ultimately, it's Trump's fault that the price of everything is going up. Yesterday, my mother gleefully declared "I don't believe it's Biden's fault that gas prices are going up." Well of course it isn't. Joe Biden isn't driving this train to hell, he's merely the dumb sonofabitch lashed to the front of it while it plows through whatever remains of our societal decency and integrity. Believe whatever the hell you want, I guess that's the lesson.
The NYT is one of the most destructive forces in American politics. Hard to believe but they still set the agenda for the rest of the MSM. The Times gives permission to the rest of the media to ignore important issues. There is no parity in reporting; what's bad for one side is never reported on the other side. How bad is the Times? Debate any avid Times reader and their ignorance of facts is laughable.
Editorial quibble, Glenn - the NYT "proved" nothing today. They merely "confirmed" what you and many others have been saying for months. Still, nice to see that reality is eventually acknowledged.
Not surprising: The CIA wanted Trump OUT, and Biden IN. The USA is a Colony of the CIA. Since decades ago. Who do you think organized the MASSIVE Election Fraud of 2020? Who could have the capabilities and the organization to do it? The CIA are experts in Coup's and in overthrowing governments all around the World: the CIA overthrew 87 governments. This time they overthrew the US government.
By the way: George Bush was dubbed "The CIA Candidate", Bill Clinton was a CIA asset, GW Bush was the son of "The CIA Candidate". Obama was another CIA asset (John Brennan was his handler).
We know from fmr DNI John Ratcliffe that Durham is investigating Joe Biden (and Obama too) https://gregrubini.substack.com/p/durham-ratcliffe-part3 - whether something will come out from his Criminal Investigation, we'll see. However we know that Durham interviewed for 8 hours John Brennan, in Aug 2020 (Brennan was Obama's handler). Ratcliffe gave Durham 1000 classified documents, back in Sept-Oct 2020. Durham is way too slow for my taste, but he's getting close to Jake Sullivan (Biden Nat. Sec. Advisor). Something may be in the offing. An Indictment of Jake Sullivan would be a death blow to the entire Biden Cabal.

Edit to add: isn't it interesting that the Top Names in the "Intelligence Community" disinfo letter linked by Glenn Greenwald are Michael Hayden, John Brennan, James Clapper, Michael Morell?
Absolutely true. We must get rid of CIA/FBI/NSA. Threats to our nation
Trump had to dismantle the CIA/FBI/NSA back in Feb. 2017.
He didn't do it. Big mistake.
Trump's problem is he was outclassed by the bad guys, like a poor schmuck who wandered into a NBA practice, thinking it was a pick-up game down at the playground...Very, very sad--and an enormous missed opportunity. Don't know if another will come along anytime soon.
Trump's problems were many, however he was up against legions and had no clue who to trust given how many people are in some way connected to the swamp rats. He was at war with the swamp for most of his presidency, the near constant leaking from the swamp rat den is proof enough of that. They wanted him gone at all costs.
All true. Appointing Dan Coats as DNI was a major mistake. Appointing HR McMaster as Nat. Sec. Advisor was a 2nd big mistake.
How do you know who to appoint when you don't know who is a part of the swamp?
Trump was naive in regards to the Intelligence Agencies. He knew next to nothing about the shenanigans of the CIA/FBI/MI6/GCHQ. He even appointed Gina Haspel as CIA Director. Gina Haspel helped the British in the spy operations on Trump in 2016 (Haspel was the CIA Station Chief in London in 2016). Besides, Gina Haspel is a longtime Brennan's lapdog.
Trump NEVER spent one night in his life in D.C. He knew almost no one and relied on D.C. operatives for "advice." He is a pretty poor judge of character and appears to be easily taken in by flattery and ass kissing.
Even JFK and his brother the A.G. could not dislodge J.E. Hoover from his perch as FBI dictator. Only death finally get rid of him. That seems in many cases to be the only thing that can purge D.C. of some of these career grifters. Congress sometimes appears to be a nursing home populated with addled old people. Gotta have term limits for Congress and many Federal agencies.
The most important thing to remember about Hoover is the fact that he got his truly immense power by blackmailing people.
After his demise, his safe disappeared.
The story about Russian "kompromat" was popular in DC because they all know that blackmail most foul, is "just how things work".
Why go to all the trouble of installing the potus of your choice when all you have to do is blackmail whomever wins? (everyone has something to hide)
Trump may have had no choice on that matter (Haspel).
Yes. He was old-school, American and patriotic, and at least initially, it was just completely out of his ability to think that the "intelligence community" would immediately try to kill their new Commander-in-Chief. I'd venture that kind of thinking is true for millions of other Americans, particularly those of certain generations. Even global organized crime is not as bad as the U.S. intel agencies.
We're in big, big trouble.
I did as well. I thought it was bad when he was elected and I reluctantly voted for him as I thought Trump was a fake. Things turned out far differently....not only was he not a fake but the depths of corruption and the sheer number of swamp rats far exceeded my worst fears.
As did most Americans at the time.
Speaking for yourself? Maybe you should have paid more attention to the conduct of the CIA 70 years ago? The conduct that you claim elsewhere is completely changed in the CIA of today?
Yep.
But Bernie didn't underestimate them. Their point man, Obama, got the message across crystal clear!
We all did.
One also believe the sincerity of Trump when he said he'd drain the swamp. I suspect he meant to rout the Democrats only.
Swamp creatures are comprised of about 90% Democrats.
Getting rid of those organizations is almost impossible given their deeply imbedded operatives throughout the media and government. They can whip up stories and tales from the crypt that would have most Americans so confused and scared that the streets would be filled with rioters and others protesting any curtailment of these PERMEANT shadow agencies that are strong influences on the American political scene.
It would take a purge as vicious as Hitlers murderous one of his Brown Shirt para-military after his election in 1933. Americans probably would not stand for something that draconian or far reaching without indictments and public trials. Would be best if Congress and the DOJ could cull out the worst offenders and DEFUND those agencies that appear to be too big for their britches. ALL enforcement agencies and intelligence groups need periodic reform and strict oversight by Congress since they seem to just grow like a cancer if not regulated.
It would literally take winning an armed revolution to get rid of the national security state at this point. The US is in deeper shit than almost anyone knows. The coup d'etat in Dallas in 1963 put the spooks in power permanently. Asking such sociopathic lunatics politely to leave is naive.
Getting an honest government through the election system is an almost impossible long shot now.

I believe that is so, I hope not man I really do, but people want their stuff back, be it hope or what they've lost. They are really pissed off. The media is treating them like they do anti war protesters, as deluded nuts.
Well said.
I agree 100%!
JFK had more political capital than any leader in history and even he had to grudgingly accept that he couldnt fire Hoover.
Mr. Kennedy and his brother had way too many secrets in their closets. Ms Monroe and the Organized Crime Mafia in Chicago who pushed him to a win in the 1960 election. Hoover knew way too much and the Kennedy's knew it.
Kennedy would have fired Hoover in his second term. He would have brought all US personnel home from Souyheast Asia. And he would have torn the CIA into a thousand peaces.
That is why they killed him.
\\][//
Or.worse yet, the brothers in mass murder and torture, The Dulles Brothers. How'd you like to have a nice state dinner with those guys? Sure, Kennedy fired Allan, but he wasn't gone, he hid behind Prescott and George the 1st. His brother took over MIT. Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfelds predecessors, their heroes, icons of Amerikan power. We have been drowned in shit that smelled like deodorant. I been fighting back my whole goddam life and look where we are now.Yeah, I am pissed off. I can't find one amerikan politician to trust, they all take way too much money. From anyone if they can get away with it. As long as all that money is in there, we will get human nature again and again. Undisciplined taking and spending, fun,fun fun. Plane tickets to anywhere, fat salary, Citizens United, what a great job. There must be cool ones, who are they? I work part time in a gas station to make it and I worked all my life so we could "retire'" and I did. Kind of. I'm on the last Amerikan retirement plan,thank you for social security. When were we getting that adjustment again?
Good points. Defunding is a good idea, and probably the most pragmatic. Since many of these agencies have dark money from confiscation or other dirty deeds. The defunding of taxpayer money might not do the trick, but it could hamper them a bit.
I think a good part of congress may be in the muck themselves, and if not, they are part of the sheep herd: “Yes sir.”
Perhaps a bit of both.
"Big mistake"??? How the fuck is anybody going to dismantle the CIA/FBI/NSA?
Those institutions are set in concrete historically, The ONLY way to get rid of the spook community is an armed revolution. And THAT would be very dangerous indeed.
\\][//
All he had to do to accomplish that was by using the budgeting process. Defund them is the only way to do it. Any other way is futile as they are too entrenched in our government and media.
"all" "he" had to do? you mean the guy shot in dealey plaza? from a storm drain later paved over like the plane crash site in pennsylvania?
on the contrary. that he was, ahem, prevented made the graveyard bravery bar for opposing the cia or the mossad apparently prohibitively high. the mafia was not so lucky, following the death of the tutu wearing lover of clyde tolson.
If Trump ever gets in again, I hope he dismantles them all. Grassley and Johnson told us along with Glenn of this voter disinformation. What a joke. And to think the fbi had this laptop December 9, 2020 and didn’t bother to acknowledge it when Pelosi, Schiff, and Schumer were impeaching Trump in January for making a call to Zelenskyy to find out the doings of Ethel Biden’s in Ukraine. I’d say he had every reason to do this. The fbi and Barr were part of the cover up too. Criminal!
Yes, it was the greatest political scandal in American history, by a country mile. Yet, the perpetrators are all still alive, with no prosecutions. That there are millions of American voters who see nothing wrong with it is the best evidence that our political system is running on empty…
The biggest scandal was Clinton’s attempted coup and all the lies that went with it. The msm joining with the cabal was disgusting. Brennan, Comey, and McCabe’s lies; Maria Yankovich (sp), Vidman, Schiff, Schumer, and Pelosi’s accusations and lies. The waste of time and money. That attempted coup was truly treason. When Durham gets to the bottom of it, all this evil cast of characters need a televised trial like watergate for all Americans to see. That way there, the media can’t twist it. Remember watergate was just breaking into dnc offices not attempting to overthrow an elected president. And if it means anything, I am still an independent voter with conservative values and belief in God and our constitution of freedom.
The biggest scandal in history imho is Thomas Clark as AG and his repeated help of organized crime to assist his boss, President Truman, get elected repeatedly.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_C._Clark
Truman rewarded him with a spot on the Supreme Court.

No, it wasn't. Saying hyperbole like this hurts the message you are trying to bring because people know you are just using marketing.
The FBI has NEVER not politicized things. The FBI was illegally bugging the First Ward DNC offices in Chicago in the early 1960's, with the Attorney General's signoff and this is IRREFUTABLE. So the FBI knew the DNC was engaging in corruption for 25 more years before Operation Gambat took Marcy/Roti etc down.
https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=128457#relPageId=42
People on the right and especially Trumpers act like what happened in 2020 is something novel or new. It's not. They are just mad it happened to them when its been happening since Boss Tweed and before, as any true student of history will tell you.
Here is Sam Giancana and Tony Accardo discussing political people who are crooked (and not crooked) back in 1959!!
https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=82821#relPageId=2
Nothing was ever done by the FBI about any of this. None of the politicians really ever got in trouble until the late 80's when the Bush family took out the criminals in charge of the DNC, in a sense helping the Clinton Crime family take over the party.
And their pal Mitt Romney took out Billy Bulger and his brother Whitey.
https://spectator.org/51191_romney-boots-bulger-bulger-cashes-out/
This is why the DNC doesn't truly hate Bush or his band of neocon lackeys. The Bush crime family empowered the Clinton crime family by removing all the mafia control of their party for them.
All they had to do was change laws, do illegal shit, and continue to erode personal privacy to do it. Same as it ever was'd
Dismantling might be a multi-step process beyond his skill, but he probably could have mass-declassified everything and humiliated them, and he certainly could have pardoned Snowden. Either he chickened out or someone threatened him.
. He might have wound up like Kennedy if he did. Assange being pardoned was on my wish list along with Snowden.
Me too! Maybe Durham’s findings can help us? But I’m not holding my breathe. These crooks, called elitists, are only in for themselves.
With Garland aTDOJ probably wont happen. Yes they are.
They already tried that with the "Family Jewels" that proved they were removing democratically elected leaders, pondering assassinations, and overthrowing regimes while also being involved in KKK murders as part of COINTELPRO like Gary Thomas Rowe
And what, pray tell, would you put in their place?
Another election with hopefully more honest, law abiding human beings. And there are some in the government if you watch the proceedings and their votes. That doesn’t mean I will agree totally, but there are better runners.
Nothing would be my solution. Our country got by just fine before they existed.
Just fine if you are OK with slavery, no rights for women, and you could be sent to jail by HUAC if you had 'radical' political beliefs.
I hate the government too but some of it is sadly a necessary evil.
Just too many alphabet agencies and too little accountability.
When we have one that forces vaccines, spends us into bankruptcy, and champions un winnable wars. I am sure we could do better with much less government and government spending. "Our government is so big it is unmanageable" Barrack Obama
Interesting point. You could argue they harm more than help so not so crazy.
I wouldn't say get rid of, but there needs to be the sacking of tens of thousands of bureaucrats complete with the confiscation of all federal pension and health plans save Social Security and Medicare along with gag orders so none of them can end up writing books or ending up as a talking head. There also needs to be a substantial spending cut to each agency, at least on the order of 20%.
Love it when you offer specifics, M. Stephen. However, I think we might be past the point of repair, and to the point of complete overhaul/replacement.
So, I presume you are not a fan of the 'deep state'. Why do you trust them so much regarding Russia, then?
You presume correctly, but why the scare quotes? Do you think the Deep State does not exist?
I do not trust the State for anything. I do think it appropriate that the State is my agent internationally. Is that not one of the State's legitimate functions?
Scare quotes? No, that's just a quotation of a name. Deep state indeed exists and its doings we are now witnessing in Ukraine.
Agree. Senator Paul had a plan to fiscally balance things in 3-5 years, but that was before this latest round of spending. The tea party “Taxation without representation “ cry comes to mind. Big cuts, indeed, need to be made in our bloated government. Your idea of a percentage right across the board sounds fair and might alleviate some bickering. Most Americans, who are on a budget and live within their means, will applaud this.
Sadly, the cuts he has in mind are unrealistic. I've done research (which I write about) and the most that could be cut from the federal budget nation wide is in the range of $400-$500 billion per year, something which includes gutting corporate welfare.
Pre Covid, the deficit was $1 trillion, so what could be cut would at best, half that. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid have simply grown so vast in size due to increased life expectancy that little can be cut, even assuming there is 5% fraud. Such is the price of longevity.
I think there’s a lot of pork that can be cut as well as grants. A council of normal Americans with the many organizations that have reports on this would be good. All of us Americans need to get on board with this or else I’m afraid our economy may be in for bigger troubles, if it isn’t bad enough already. I’m sick of paying for waste and not the basics. Guess I’ve lived frugal and basic all my life and been happy and free living always within my means, whether below the poverty line or in middle class. Social security and health are basics and we have enough for help here, but the programs need to be accountable. That’s the clinker.
Yea Sanford, Dream on. NOTHING but force will get rid of the spooks now.
\\][//
Yep you are correct WW
You can vote your way into an authoritarian regime but you have to shoot your way out. And that ain’t gonna happen. Americans love and revere and idolize their big bad government, they will keep lowering their head for the leash and beg the government to tighten it
Great comment and so very true. Freedom lets them in, but getting them out totally different. Nearly completed Helen Raleigh's book, "Confusious Never Said" which details how a few (just like with Lenin and Stalin) and small minority duped the population and now the CCP has an iron grip on the populace.

Bingo! Ready. Willing. Able. I have zero reverence.
I fear you are right...and I fear that the they have created the perfect storm for violence...which is the last thing anyone needs. Between inflation, high fuel prices due to idiotic domestic policies, supply chain issues and their impact on food production at home, the public is becoming hostile. All with the backdrop of the tech titan thought police, the Truckers waiting outside DC, DNC backed teachers unions and the CRT garbage mind you. Should the swamp rats pull a Trudeau, or even half one by merely freezing bank accounts...a civil war would start.
Kennedy tried. Kennedy died. As did his brother. These boys play a mean game of baseball.
You know, 10 years ago I would have said you were nuts, but now you are dead right. These groups have grown out of control and there is no one to rein them in. They harm more than they help the country!!
JFK tried...look where that got him.
Interesting you'd bring this up without reminding other readers that the CIA paid Amazon $600 million for cloud computing in the autumn of 2013. After challenges by IBM, Microsoft and others who had superior cloud infrastructures were rejected, Amazon then purchased the WaPo in December of '13 for only $300M - so low a price for the once august institution, that thinking people have to wonder if it was a forced sale.
And now, Amazon tirelessly collects information on Americans (indeed people all over the world) and commingles it with CIA information in the cloud, and then disinforms the public via The WaPo. A slick operation perfected by the CIA in all of those little Banana Republics "governed" by our little brown brothers.

I doubt that the problem was limited to the CIA, although they were but one of the alphabet agencies that had a say in this.
Makes me think of what the late James Kallstrom, one-time head of the FBI New York field office who was active in bringing down the mafia said referring to the post 2015 FBI post 2016:
"I do not recognize the agency I gave 28 years of my life to."

I used to watch FBI Files regarding cases which occurred prior to 2005 and he hosted that series. So yes, it goes beyond the CIA, it includes the now thoroughly corrupt FBI.
The FBI has always been corrupt; but, as anyone with any sense of the real truth of what is really going in and with the U.S., the Western and other allies, as well as the world as a whole could predict, they and all of the "security" [sic(k)] agencies have gotten worse and worse.

I thought recently that I'd like to get a sex robot. But then I realized, no I wouldn't, because I'd be afraid all the time that the robot could kill me at any time, or squeeze my johnson off....
Isn't life grand in the doldrums of the slew of despond?
Besides the mostly ignored Church report the FBI has never been closely examined or reformed during its entire existence. Any agency that has existed for decades without any real oversight is bound to become corrupted and a law unto itself. This insulated agency needs to be completely revamped and reorganized. Real outsiders from various law enforcement agencies are needed to REPLACE the whole executive level of the FBI. Oversight by Congress and other civilian agencies must be the order of the day.
The FBI exposed its rotten core during its' jihad against Pres. Trump. Love him or hate him he was duly elected and a legal POTUS in spite of Hillary's best efforts to wreck his Presidency and undermine his authority. The alphabet agencies were instrumental in her efforts at a soft Coup d'erat. Everyone that furthered that effort should be interviewed under oath and where possible indicted and tried for offenses against the nation. Don't hold your breath. Since these people don't play by the rules it is almost impossible to curb their lust for power and control using our legal system. The problem with armed revolutions is that one tyrannical group is usually replaced by another. Few Democracies get to survive for long periods since they are conceived by humans and are just as easily destroyed by those same vain glorious power seeking human beings. The cycle has been pretty consistent.
It really is not surprising as this is the ugly side of human nature. Founders seemed to have some sense of human nature and how it corrupts but could not foresee technological advances giving rise to what we see today. As great as the Constitution is, not able to fully accommodate that and how, combined with human nature, would manifest itself.
True, as the founders never anticipated political lifers. It took two attempts at term limit abuse and finally a major offender to get the two-term rule codified into law. Congressional term limits were likewise never considered...and now you have people in congressional office for over 50 years, not to mention state and municipal office before that. Ironically it was the League of Woman Voters who derailed the attempts at term limits in the 90s.
Political dynasties are another problem, hence why the swamp rats almost always seem to be engaged in inbreeding, intermarrying one another to cement power. Amendments are needed, however I fear things will have to get worse first before enough people, enough states pass them.
Certainly the FBI was involved too, and the British (MI6, GCHQ) - but only the CIA has the skills and experience in Coup's and in overthrowing governments all around the world. The FBI probably cooperated, but the Architects were CIA (current or former: Langley has no exit doors).
The 1970's Coup in Australia was orchestrated jointly by the CIA and MI6 - just as an example. The MI6 played the major role in that Coup, because Australia is within the UK "sphere of influence" (not to say former/current British Colony)
Jake Sullivan is the controller of the lizards in the WH. Anyone saying otherwise hasn't been paying attention.
Hes moved from Klobuchar > Clinton > Obama > Biden
I agree. Jake Sullivan is certainly an important piece in the control structure of the Biden "Lizards" Cabal - along with Avril Haines. We know that Jake Sullivan has lawyered-up, back in Oct. and he is one of the main targets of Durham
All we can do is keep making sure they can't scurry for cover and obfuscation at this point.
And so the plot to remove the figurehead from office begins!
you mean to remove demented Joe Biden? the conspirators have a huge problem, because they don't want the other idiot, either (=Kamala). So perhaps they will "suicide" both, or...
and who will they place in the White House? Certainly not old Russian Vodka Nancy Pelosi (3rd in succession).
They have nobody to replace him with. Harris is a dimwit, much like AOC, Warren is nearly as bad, Sanders is too old, Hillary has the popularity of dog excrement on a brand new sidewalk, while Yang has left the party and Gabbard would be even harder for the swamp rats to control than Trump as she knows how they work.
I agree. I like your definition of HRC, by the way...
Tulsi Gabbard is not the combination of Winston Churchill and Joan of Arc so many Greenwald/Taibbi/Weiss readers think she is. Be REAL careful what you wish for...
So far, she has shown integrity. If she had gone along, she would have got along. She was selected for bigger things than Congress. She crossed killery and that was that.
Tulsi is yet another WEF acolyte so I will pass
Dear Gordon Freeman (what a moniker): Why try to act so wise? Tulsi would be miles ahead of anybody in the pack. How could she be worse than a demented corpse?
Whose trying to act wise? If you like Gabbard, vote for her. Just be aware that you're voting for another of the Frick 'n Frack automatons the WEF loves to foist on the world, just like Justin Trudeau or Buttigieg. All those fresh faced assholes just want a fucking cool career in Government, and all they know how to do is fuck things up. Her platform is straight Bernie Sanders socialism with a smiley-face plastered on. You can have her, I don't give a shit.
Yes, she probably would be better than the demented corpse. So was Donald Trump. Or pretty mush anybody grabbed off the sidewalk in front of Grand Central Station.
I am just looking for the 'least bad' out there.
Edit: Tulsi is among the least bad.
Keep looking for the least bad option. It paid dividends so far.
There is Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz and Nicky Haley to name a few. Some rising stars coming up too.
The lesser of two evils is still evil and, in the case of Obama, the more effective evil, to quote the late, great Glen Ford.
Bad news; Tulsi Gabbard is a member of the World Econamoc Forum...

Harris is a Woman and she is (Indian) Black. If smarts mattered Brandon wouldn't have been chosen.
Why is it never mentioned that her family in Jamaica once owned slaves. Seems everyone else is held to account for actions that happened before their family even came to the U. S. Ms Harris was a career whore without an ounce of intelligence and whose ambition far out ran her competence.
I know it's a typo. Ms. Harris "is" a career whore.
She is NOT black! Ever see a pic of her father? Point in fact.
No Harris is not Black, guess you missed my sarcasm.... (Indian).
Her mother is of Indain background and her father is a Jamaican of mixed race.
Silly Stephen - you presume the people's opinions or votes count... *furrows brow*.
As long as we have that big ol boogie man Russia, "our" government will do as it pleases and give the press their marching orders.
That's the thing, with all of the distrust in the government now, rigging will only create a civil war, much as pulling a Trudeau would. Inflation, fuel scarcity, supply chain issues, unchecked spending and debt...people are hurting...and should the swamp rats cross the red line well....it will not be pretty nor will it be good for anyone.

Remember Watergate. First, resignation of VP. President nominates/Senate confirms a replacement. Then President resigns, and the unelected VP becomes President.
Circumvents the Constitutional limitation of 2 terms for whomever is nominated as replacement VP...
Hi Jude. I checked the Watergate story. So you mean: Spiro Agnew was Nixon VP. Then, in Oct. 1973 Agnew was forced to resign (for charges "officially" unrelated to Watergate).
In Oct 1973, Nixon picked Gerald Ford as VP. Senate confirmed. Then, when Nixon was forced to resign, Ford became President. Correct?
Yes, that is how it went. Maneuvering to fill a vacant VP slot first, getting the preferred candidate in as VP. Then elevation to Presidency. It was a back door approach.
A side note- Gerald Ford was a member of the Warren Commission.
VERY interesting... so Gerald Ford was a puppet of Allen Dulles? We know it was Allen Dulles running the show at the "Warren Commission"...
Allen Dulles = the Mastermind of the Kennedy Assassination. (The Mastermind of the Kennedy Assassination investigating the Kennedy Assassination - isn't it neat?)
Your info about the VP switch and Nixon removal has been very helpful, Jude: Thanks a lot!
oh, I forgot: wasn't Gerald Ford who nominated George Bush as CIA Director, in Jan. 1976?
Yea, that's what happened, and Ford was the guy on the Warren Commission who moved the JFK backwound from T-3, where it actually was to the "neck". Ford was also a MKUltra handler for Cathy O’Brien, and molested her when she was 13 years old. Ford was incredibly corrupt.

Hi William. Interesting that you mention Cathy O'Brien. That is a very disturbing story, and it involves also HRC.
I recall reading about Cathy O'Brien 4 or 5 years ago. I watched also some videos with her telling her story. I think she was telling the truth.
What do you think?
Been there. Lived it. Agnew was not implicated in Watergate. Just basic corruption.
That's interesting... I didn't know (I was not born yet, in 1973...) - Thank you Jude!
So this is the trick they are going to use... Do you have any idea on who they will pick as Biden replacement?
Call me crazy, but it would be a way that they could re-install Obama in the Presidency. He cannot be re-elected, but there would be no restriction if he were elevated from the VP slot.
And as all have pointed out, they don’t have anybody viable in the wings.
That was the answer I was afraid of getting. And it's not stupid at all. I hope it doesn't happen, and that Durham does his duty - quickly!
I guess they didn't realize how fast his brain was turning to mush. I wonder if we're in for an old-fashioned coup.
I never understood why the CIA/Deep State pushed the demented Joe Biden as the Democrat candidate since the Primaries. That remains a mystery. Unless there was something related to the 30 BioWeapon Labs that the Pentagon set up in Ukraine... Perhaps Biden was involved in those Labs too, besides Burisma? (just a thought...)
Now we know that the Pentagon and DARPA are dirty as much as the CIA.
That is pretty easy to answer. Because he is clearly suffering from dementia that the MSM willingly ignores, he can easily be manipulated as a figurehead by those whom the Deep State actually vests with Presidential authority: obviously Ron Klain and Jake Sullivan; there are undoubtedly others. They issue press releases and other announcements in his name, and very closely manage all of his personal appearances. If, on occasion, that management fails and he makes some off-script utterance, they get the media to publish references to his "well-known propensity to stumble when speaking", and/or issue an after-the-fact clarification. This has happened more times in the past year than I can count. And even if he is somewhat more lucid than I give him credit for, they probably have a massive file of compromising information on him (including details from the business dealings that are central to the emails in direct question here) with which to blackmail him. Senile Ol' Joe seems to me to be the perfect puppet. Regarding succession, my guess is that they like the odds for keeping Joe breathing until 2024, when they can get another Deep State/Globalist twunt elected, possibly even one that wears a GOP armband (Romney? Cheney? Lindsay Graham?). If that doesn't work, I'm convinced that the strategy involves openly discarding the Constitution at some point, perhaps the thought is that an exingency that requires that to happen sooner, rather than later, likely won't derail their plans.
Easy to answer that one. They knew he was compromised by his family's corruption in Ukraine and China so would play ball. Puppet on a string.
Because he is the ultimate puppet. Too many skeletons in that closet.
No doubt. Biden was in up to his ears.
Actually, it's pretty simple and they as much as admitted it: there was NO WAY even the intel agencies, the deep state, or even God Almighty was going to be able to push Sanders over the finish line.
With his 180 on immigration, joining the woke crowd over Trump being racist and now clamoring for confronting Russia, Sanders probably was an empty suit. He may have once been independent, yet he is and has been part of the swamp for some time. He, like Rubio on the right, is just good at hiding it.
I agree about Bernie Sanders, but I'm talking about the beginning of the Dem Primaries, here: it is clear that Biden was the CIA candidate of choice. But why the CIA didn't have a "replacement CIA candidate"?
They are not stupid, at the CIA (well, I'm not sure about that, actually...) They knew perfectly that Biden was demented already in 2019.
Yup, they really screwed themselves as far as succession goes. They need to get Biden, Harris and Pelosi all on the same plane....and wait for God to sort things out.
\\][//
Jake needs to be on that plane.
Yes. It’s a real trifecta, isn’t it?
Maybe a Joe Kamala murder/ suicide plot? Neither knows how to operate a weapon. But, why not?
Told my friend this 2 weeks ago. Yes Brandons departure is near.
Why would it be a death blow? Sullivan would get pardoned and case closed.
Oy vey!!!!
Election fraud 😂😂. Shut up
We all lived through election night, dude. Never in my life have a bunch of swing states simply stopped counting, only to magically reverse themselves in the morning with boxes of votes tilted for Biden so heavily that the numbers weren't replicated ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY.
They got exactly the votes they needed, exactly where they needed them, EXACTLY WHEN THEY NEEDED THEM.
If you can explain that, I'm all ears.
Exactly. And the election fraud was not confined to those 6 "battleground States", but involved rigging the elections in at least 17 States, including Virginia, Minnesota, Colorado, Oregon and WA. (and more).
There was massive fraud even in Florida, Ohio, Texas, North Carolina. But in those States it didn't work out well enough for the conspirators.
I stayed up tell 3 am CDT watching the vote count and then went to sleep confident that Trump had won WI and PA, with no thought that he would loose either AZ or GA. I saw the market rally and the Chinese stock exchange get hit and thought Trump pulled it off....the following morning was a major shock.
Wife and I went to bed (she is very liberal) and we knew when we woke up the DNC would "find" more votes.
The thing is, this is nothing new. If you can't prove it in court, and you can't even get changes when the DOJ catches people in the act!
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/former-philadelphia-judge-elections-convicted-conspiring-violate-civil-rights-and-bribery
The actual problem IMO is the lawyers. The bar association is the most powerful corrupt group on earth. Every major company in the US is forced to pay their members simply to do business, and then when it comes time for those lawyers to actually go to court, they settle 95% of the time!
Its not surprising Kamala Harris' husband works for DLA Piper, look at who their partners are. They are a cabal of globalist lawyers. This is backed with irrefutable evidence.
Every single living President except Trump uses the same lawyer :)
https://www.wc.com/Attorneys/Robert-B-Barnett
Yep. And when they were 'done for the night' the numbers looked like this
https://imgur.com/a/AdJPq4R
When we woke up, it was all flipped.
I knew there would be early votes counted which would tighten the lead but the sheer volume...well, it isn't proof but it sure stinks.
Your link won't work for me. Just FYI
This is all well and good and I believe true (coincides with every other election that had some bullshit scandal tied to it since well before Joe Kennedy promised the mob the farm to get his son elected and well past Richard Nixon getting bags of cash from mobsters like Anthony Provenzano.
But when is something going to actually change? The corruption isn't gone, they are just better at hiding it. The lies aren't gone, they are just better at crafting them.
This is a problem that will never go away as long as people think it's OK to selfishly fuck over others to get things they want. This is why ancient civilizations created religions, to try and constrain the behavior of people to be for the greater good, and they know the laws of man would never stop all the bad people.
They had to create religion as another tier of "You better not do that even if you dont get consequences now". Its time now as a society to choose good, and that has to start with every single one of us on this board if its going to start anywhere.
great comment, Iconclast! When, on Nov 6, 2020, I began investigating the 2020 Election Fraud, I never imagined what this would uncover. There was Fraud in 2004, in 2000, in 2012, and thanks to tips from my followers on Twitter, I found out that Fraud has been rampant in many States since 30 years ago. What a Rabbit Hole!
Now we know that the FBI is 100% corrupt, the DOJ is corrupt, the Supreme Court is totally corrupt.
By the way: Chief Justice John Roberts was nominated by GW Bush in 2005. GW Bush Election was Rigged, so also Chief Justice John Roberts is illegitimate - if we follow the Rule of Law - https://gregrubini.substack.com/p/const-crisis-1 -
Congress is corrupt, too: at least 70% of Senators and Rep's got their seats thanks to Election Fraud. So: nobody with any legitimate authority "certified" Joe Biden.
How can we solve this mess?
In my opinion, the corruption is too extensive and widespread. It cannot be rooted out. We have to dismantle everything, and we need to re-found our Constitutional Republic from scratch, re-start from a clean slate. I do not see any other possible solution.
Massive government and bureaucracies controlling almost unlimited govt spending will always devolve into corruption. It is unavoidable, as the founders knew. The system creates the corruption.
Too many people believe we just need to elect better leaders. They don't understand that anyone in politics who gets beyond "dog catcher" is already a player in the corruption game.
Goes back further even to Truman and the Pendergast Machine. This is why Truman's AG (Thomas Clark, future Supreme Court Justice) let out Paul Ricca and the rest of the recently convicted gangsters who got 10 years Federal time.
I sadly agree with your last paragraph, but I fear how painful that will be to accomplish.
Richard J. Daley the Mayor of Chicago from 1956-1976 created the Democratic Machine and was the last of the good ones that actually stood for working class folks that built the Chicago skyline you see today. Daley was a fighter for the little guy and was just a little more corrupt than his elders of the time. We all can see who the political enemies are now that DJT pulled the sewer cap off DC and it now is time to get rid of the stench.
Well you want a real laugh?
https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/story-index/public-corruption
Acts like there isn't any or they never investigated it and both are so painfully laughable it hurts.
Certainly you have seen Bernie's pre-election video that told you to expect exactly what you saw? Of course the COVID-induced mass mail in ballots would be counted last and reverse everything reported before. (sarcasm intended)
It's something they learned from Washington state.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Washington_gubernatorial_election
------------------------
Washington is unusual for a U.S. state in that it only requires that an absentee ballot be postmarked by the day of the election to be valid, while most other states require the ballot to have arrived at the election office by that time. Due to this as well as the state's high number of absentee ballots—more than 60% of all King County voters voted absentee—the initial result of the election was not known until November 17, the last day under state law for election results to be certified by each county's election officials.
Washington state law allows for election officials to evaluate voter intent and correct ballots so that the machines can properly read them. For example, on a Scantron or other optical ballot, an election official might fill in a circle that was not properly marked so that the machine may record the vote.
------------
Sound familiar?
WA, Oregon and Colorado had 100% mail-in ballots in 2020 - from what I know.
New Jersey had 86% mail-in ballots.
Friends I have in WA and Oregon told me that Election Fraud has been rampant there since the 1990's - Colorado: similar situation.
And I agree: WA State has been the template for the 2020 Steal.
I believe all these states used Dominion systems, although I am not sure on that point. Even so, no doubt many did. In that light, it is hard to ignore the comment made by Eric Coomer, the senior technical officer at Dominion, that "Trump will not win; I f***ing made sure of that."
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/10/exclusive-coomer-deposition-released-verifies-antifa-facebook-posts-extreme-left-bias/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAsOj34fMow
Although Coomer's behavior is hard to ignore, the MSM has proven itself up to the challenge.
They do, and here is a paper who would never be accused of Trump-sympathizing even admitting how corrupt Dominion is.
https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/how-one-company-came-to-control-san-franciscos-elections/
The older you get and the more you open your eyes the more you see you are playing in a rigged game.
I read the article. Looks like real investigative journalism, which takes me back. Still, a reference to Dominion being ‘unfairly’ targeted for election rigging reminds me it is a modern newspaper.
Right?? Holy crap my exact thoughts.
Here's John's LinkedIn page if you want to verify this info yourself.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-arntz-98110116
"All cybersecurity experts who have given electronic voting machines any thought agree. These machines have got to go... the electronic voting machines Americans got to solve the problem of voting integrity ... turned out to be an awful idea. That’s because people like me can hack them"...
Byrne, Patrick M. The Deep Rig (pp. 11-12). Deep Capture LLC. Kindle Edition.
Chester, It was Patrick Byrne who was on the Antifa conference call and heard Eric make the statement that he had made sure Trump would not win the 2020 presidential election. If you saw the movie The Deep Rig, you would have seen Byrne saying such. It is also in the book The Deep Rig on Kindle at Amazon.
Byrne had a freind that was infiltrating Antifa at the time, and both of them heard Coomer say this. They didn't know Eric was Coomer at the time, but Byrne eventually tracked down that info.

Shut up there has never been a single election problem in the entire history of the US!
In one breath the DNC says that the 2020 elections were the most secure and fair in history and then in the next breath they tell you DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE!!!
TV rules the world and the sheep follow whatever they are told not because they are stupid but because it takes effort to see through these lies and no one wants to put effort into having to constantly see through lies.

2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION FRAUD
Molly Ball TIME Magazine Reloaded
The 2020 Presidential Election was rigged by a cabal of corporate oligarchs to install their own meat-puppet into the White House as a titular figure so they could rule behind the curtain of Oz
https://williamw.substack.com/p/2020-presidential-election-fraud-b24?s=w
\\][//
What are you, a censor? You might be right that there was little/un-appreciable election fraud. But millions disagree, and have lost trust in the democratic process in our country.
Doesn't that, in the very least, alarm you? And yet, all you do is make fun.
McCabe, Brennan, Comey, and judge Sullivan that was on the Flynn case are all part of the corrupt group. Brennan led the 50 fbi/cia guys that signed the note regarding the laptop as looking like Russian collusion. Personally I think they played that card one too many times. The above mafia crowd too, all lied under oath too. I’m like Trump in the sense that I never thought the deep muck state was that big of a hole. I am praying Durham has courage and doesn’t cave into the elites like Barr did.
Sounds like the swamp now wants Biden gone
They will have him step aside. You will see.
Pretty sure the DNC is also pressuring Vladislav Klyushin to say that Trump made him hack the DNC but I could be wrong. My guess is they will trot him out as part of an investigation in late 2024 just as elections hit. He wont say anything court but the media will imply that he worked with Trump.
https://www.justice.gov/usao-ma/pr/russian-national-extradited-role-hacking-and-illegal-trading-scheme
Sorry meant Ivan Ermakov, a former officer in the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU), a military intelligence agency of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, who was previously charged in July 2018 in federal court in Washington, D.C. for his alleged role in a hacking and influence effort related to the 2016 U.S. elections
Terrifying. Rotten bastards.
Back 2015 I noticed Trump would win based on signage in the legacy area of my city. I told my friend "I am voting for Trump so he can throw a grenade into Congress". Mission accomplished. Many more now see how corrupt Congress is. Next the Federal Reserve needs revealing.

reading right now, William. Just subscribed to your Substack: you have quite a number of interesting articles I want to read.
And yes: I've been following all the events related to the Election Fraud very closely, since the beginning: I had a powerful account on Twitter, with 164,000 followers, and 72 Million views in 28 days. The communist Tyrants of Twitter deleted my account on Nov. 16, 2020, the day after I wrote a detailed Thread on the rigged Dominion Machines - Over the Target...
I included that Dominion Thread (I had saved the screenshots) in my Election Reports - published in Aug 2021: https://gregrubini.squarespace.com/books
The CIA is a significant player in US politics, but to bring it closer to home, that is the Biden administration itself, well, Blinkin, his secretary of state,is as close to a neocon as one can get, and both Biden and Blinken are on the same page when it comes to US primacy in this world. Blinken supported all of our middle eastern wars, and even supported Obama's position in arming Saudi Arabia in it's genocidal war in Yemen, however he did back out of that. He backs up the neocon position that the US not scale back it's role in the world, or operate with any restraints No wonder the democrats have such a big thump's up from the neocons. I wrote on this site before that the democrats tied the hate for Trump with Russia, which sent a message to Putin that you will never be accepted, and we are now seeing the results. Conflating the two made it easier for news outlets like the NY Times to do the same, and anything that interfered with a Biden win was brushed aside by defining it as Russian propaganda.
fun fact. all 13 of the high lvl cabinet members are all those who come from less than 2% of the population.
Who better then the 2 or 1 percent to represent an oligarchy?
Well Fran your assertion that "Biden and Blinken are on the same page when it comes to US primacy in this world." is way off mark.
They are both on board for the global technocratic dictatorship of Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum

Joking right?
Top names in the "I'll say anything to keep my job" community is more like it smh
This was the story—or rather the story of the coverup about the story and your decision to walk rather than collude—that cemented my respect for you as a journalist of integrity, Glenn.
Don’t you find it disgusting that the MSM is now admitting to the truths they were responsible for maligning and obscuring on behalf of political and corporate interests—as if they’re trying to reclaim a sliver of their credibility now that it’s “safe” to do so? The NYT “exposing” (the long-known) CDC scientific fraud, the SNL skit mocking the COVID religion, Trevor Noah saying Trump would never have been disrespected like Biden when it comes to foreign relations …
This lockstep pivoting to a more critical stance is highly suspicious, and I can’t tell if it’s to cover their butts as the Big Lies collapse of their own weight and justice is finally served or if they’re priming us for more shenanigans and perhaps a Biden scapegoat ouster.
It's all in lockstep, like blue-check mask-wearing turning into a Ukrainian flag on Twitter--literally overnight. The evil is right out in the open now.
I was in a Zoom meeting yesterday and the CEO of a major entity in a major US city sat there with the Ukrainian flag as his backdrop! “The latest thing…”
At least it is a change, that BLM flag got a bit tired :-)
All displays of 'good obedient soldiers.'
During the Trump years they conflated Trump hate and Russia, so it was easy to claim it was Russian disinformation, and they did this kind of thing repeatedly. The NY Times could even get away with it, even knowing their readership is more educated and no doubt more informed politically, but they are also Trump haters, ergo they didn't trust Russia either, since Russia-gate for them was a reality. The democrats were very manipulative during the Trump administration and they did it not only to oust Trump, but to vilify Russia using Trump hate to do it. I believe we are now suffering the consequences of that in the invasion of the Ukraine. The message to Putin, to Russia, during Trump's four years in office was you are not one of us and never will be.
Re: the 2020 election, to quote a famous Dem, "At this point, what difference does it make?" !!!!
🤦♀️🤡
"This was the story—or rather the story of the coverup about the story and your decision to walk rather than collude—that cemented my respect for you as a journalist of integrity, Glenn."
I'll second that.
Isn't this disinformation classed as terrorism in the US now?
YES!!!! This is the cudgel that we need to use against them!
We are all terrorists now according to the swamp rats. It makes me wish I owned a big rig and was able to be part of the trucker convoy. If they wouldn't let them into DC, I'd seriously consider driving through one of their 'checkpoints' to allow the others to follow.
Only sometimes.
The timing of the Times article isn't curious all things considered> Ukraine etc.....apparently 'someone' is trying to get ahead of some revealing bombs dropping on their heads....
Can you say J-o-h-n D-u-r-h-a-m?
That's an interesting innuendo... could be.
We know that Durham has been investigating also Joe Biden, and now there are rumors that he is close to indict Jake Sullivan (Biden Nat. Sec. Advisor)
All that is necessary is that one of the swamp rat lies is debunked, whether CCP-19 came from gain of function, that 1/6 was an inside job or that proof emerges that high level officials in team Obama and team Hillary were in on the censorship. Then trust will be lost with the public and with it, the authority of the swamp rats will collapse.
Have you been following the discussion about the rock-bottom stupidity of the public? It's the biggest problem
"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."---Winston Churchill
I am all too aware.
In his day, the censorship of opposing views was even worse than now…so he can blame his own policies for his observation.
Well, I would describe it as apathy, not stupidity. I think on balance, the apathetic are starting to wake up.
Apathetic, when waking up, are lapping up the lies like it's God's manna. Case in point - the US war mongering in Ukraine.
"don't hold your breath". We'll all be long dead before anyone important is held accountable.
BIG BINGO!!!
could be... and could be that also the sudden resignation of CNN Boss Jeff Zucker is correlated with the Durham investigation... (wild speculation)
I had written an article on that, one month ago: https://gregrubini.substack.com/p/durham-2
thanks, will check it out. Indeed that resignation was... sudden.
yes, I immediately had a feeling there was something else behind it.... Durham?
+add the Cuomo's departures earlier, and now the sudden NYT 180°. As a matter of fact, CNN and the NYT have been complicit and co-conspirators in "Seditious Conspiracy to overthrow the Government".
The article was on page 17(?).
We live in a very scary time for the United States, and all of Western Civilization. Here in the US, neither the Russians or Chinese need to work as hard as they probably do to create disinformation campaigns. We have our own media, Big Tech, academia, and of course, the Democratic Party doing it all by themselves. We now exist in a dangerous in-between world situated somewhere between a Constitutionally Limited Republic and Orwell's Oceania. We left the Republic some time ago and we're nearing Orwell's world swiftly. When John Brennan and James Clapper are your go-to guys for 'truth', and when I have to put the world 'truth' in quotes, you know we're in the Bad Days. (that we even tolerate people calling themselves 'fact checkers' is a glaring sign that we've passed a point of no return).
Kudos to you once again, Glenn, for having the bravery and doggedness to pursue actual truth, no matter where it leads. Would that we had young journalists being taught to do that in their 'J' schools as opposed to being taught the greatest good is being an 'activist', - whatever that is. And that the moral cause of the day is more important than the actual truth of the matter.
And what is the moral cause? Well, whatever you want it to be. Whatever the mob decides it to be from minute to minute. One day we're pointing and screaming at people who aren't masked up, like a Donald Sutherland knock-off from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers, then in the snap of fingers, we're pointing out that anyone who questions the moral imperative agreed to regarding Ukraine must be working for the Russians. Yes, point at them and scream. (Don't even worry that the same people who gave us weapons of 'mass destruction' are back for more).
The 2020 election was stolen in many ways, by many people, working on many fronts. Before the election, during the election, and post election (does anybody actually view the out of control riot of January 6 a greater disaster than 9/11?. Talk about moral imperatives!)
But the thing is this: All of this happened in front of us. We all saw it- all of us on the right and on the left. Like a car crash in slow motion, we all watched it. Our brains noted the information. We did not need the New York Times and Facebook to confirm what we saw, what we know. Yet half, or more than half of the country is fine disregarding the evidence of their own senses, to take up the cause for a side- even if that side is lying and they know it's a lie. Remember- this nation believed for years (and many still do) that Trump was in Moscow having Russian prostitutes pissing on him, that Putin has the photos, and that he was compromised. To even write that makes me shake my head in disbelief. But the actual words of Hunter Biden, from his own laptop- no...that was Russian disinformation. The actual words of his partner, Tony Bobulinski, had to be made up.
I read the New York Post articles on Hunter and Joe and James Biden's business dealings. I read Glenn Greenwald back then. I watched Tucker Carlson interview Tony Bobulinski and was aghast that it just sat there by itself. No one commented. No one gave it an ounce of time. Had that been about Trump? Whoo boy! The world would have stopped. And it should have.
We live in an age where The New York Times has proven itself so unreliable for facts, for truth, for reality, that to call it the paper of record is to say to the world that our standards for truth are gone. Done. One would have thought that their throwing in with Stalin while he starved millions of Ukrainians back in the 1930's would have been enough bad rep for one paper- forever. Apparently it takes more than that to kill a lie.
Anybody still think that 81 million people voted for that sack of potatoes we prop up in front of a mic and call our President?
>> and of course, the Democratic Party doing it all by themselves.
Do not exclude the other side of the same coin - the Republican Party. US is a uni-party state.
You are, of course, correct. But don't let your party loyalty rise above your own self-interest. Yes, the Republicans suck mightily at a lot of things. But the Republicans are very soft, very squishy when it comes to standing for anything. I'm not talking about the rank and file. I'm talking about those still running the GOP, such as the Senators I saw yesterday in a photo-op: McConnell, Thune, Barasso, Blunt, Ernst, et. al. These people worked as hard for the status quo as any group there. They worked against the former President. And frankly, the GOP base is tired of them and looking for new blood. But their impact is nowhere near the threat the Democrats are. The Democrats call you fascist while they censor publications, jail people without charges, run the Russia Collusion campaign with the FBI and CIA to hog-tie a President, and literally work to steal an election (with help from Big Tech, and others). They encourage nation tearing riots and bail out criminals in order to upset the country and push an election their way. They create the defund the police movement in order to further destabilize our society. They sealed up the Biden laptop news and drummed up Covid fear so high that our entire economy was forced to shut down. To what end? So that a Democrat would win the White House? So Nancy Pelosi could retake the gavel and give more drunken podium speeches?
The Democratic Party as we see it today, is as bizarre and corrupt a group of people ever to hold office in this country. Honestly, the Dems should not see another vote for two generations. It'll take at least that long to clean them out and make them palatable again.
There you go correctly talking about the Status Quo, then INCORRECTLY talk about what one might describe as "substantive differences", which are, in reality VERY minor. Oops!
On whole BOTH parties serve the interests of the ultra-rich over the interests of We, The People... Make NO mistake about it; neither one, on whole, is vote-worthy, merely a few stragglers around the edges are maybe OK.
I don't disagree with you on the existence of a one party system. But the parties do have striking differences in their base philosophies. And the Dems reach levels the Republicans have not even thought about yet. They both worked to stymie the Trump administration in more ways than we'll ever know. But the very almost religious-like fury with which the Dems approached it was much more than anything the GOP had going for it. In fact, the Dems are still going after Trump, even now as I write this. (??!!) The Dems are armed with both that religious fury, coupled with a bizarre blend of Marxism and fantasy world thinking. I find the Dems very dangerous. I find the Republicans annoying and in need of change, but they can be neutered. It's like an aggressive cancer vs an annoying cold. Both are bad, but one of them will kill you.
The NYT has forever destroyed their credibility over this single issue. At least The National Enquirer doesn't expect you to actually believe half of their content.
Dude, if this were the only lie that the NYT ever published.
They and the WaPo, to name but two MSM outlets, were all in on the lies about Iraqi WMDs, the bogus Steele dossier, russiagate, the lies about Syria, etc.. No heads rolled, and they still call themselves "the nation's paper of record".
Astute observers may note that the lies ever always only seem to go in the direction of empire.
They can call themselves whatever they want, but a majority of thinking people understand the game now. The intentional spiking of the Hunter Biden laptop story was the final straw of their coming out party as a tool of the power structure. Any time I see an article sourced by the NYT, I automatically dismiss it as misinformation and I know quite a few people who think the same way. Reality is what is and pretending it is not that doesn't make it so.
I so wish that were true.
A question is why they published this story now? As suggested above - trying to get ahead of a story? What story? US is desperate for Russia not to discover anything interesting in Ukraine.
I imagine Russia is well aware of what's been going on in Ukraine....
What's really annoying is that the "liberal" set has completely forgiven/forgotten all the lies and still goes to the NYT for their daily dose of hipster propaganda. Their columnists are literally nauseating.
It is worse than that. The liberal class is in love with the CIA/FBI/etc. When I ask my liberal Russiagater friends when did they learn to love FBI, I never get an answer.
Their crossword is good....and that’s it
Yeah, the packaging on my NYT Crossword Puzzle sure is...uh...bulky.
Say it with me.

Shall go all the way back to Walter Duranty, the Stalinist getting Pulitzers writing pure propaganda lies for Russia, and Sulzberger burying the Holocaust in the B-Section?
Farther still: REMEMBER THE MAINE!! William Randolph Hearst: “You supply the pictures, I’ll supply the war”
Yep. They had a name for it then, "yellow journalism."
Honestly, they became cultural icons for too long, but I'd add Woodward and Bernstein to the list. No, they didn't exaggerate or fabricate or lie. Ben Bradley insisted on TWO identified-in-print sources. (Remember his repeated line in the movie version, "You haven't got it. Keep digging.") But they spawned what's called "smoking gun journalism." Pick a target. Go destroy them. Become a media hero. Now add the ghouls and emotionally dysfunctional losers on social media, and you have an army of spreaders who don't actually CARE about truth, much less knowledge. Wisdom? That's a boomer concept.
Add clickbait headlines, monetizing websites and books that become "bestsellers" overnight. Now Bob Woodward is publishing material that his old boss would call crap.
"Wisdom? That's a boomer concept."

Um, doesn’t Glenn actually credit the NYT with *not* going with the flow on this issue? “Prior to the election, the Times, to their credit, was *one of the few* to apply skepticism to the CIA's pre-election lie, noting on October 22 that ‘no concrete evidence has emerged that the laptop contains Russian disinformation.’
Not to take anything away from Feral Finster’s earlier comment…
Well, only now that the 2020 election is safely in the bag does the NYT reverse course.
Exactly, if the NYT printed a story that led to the downfall of this administration, I'd buy TWO subscriptions.
Hmm...I hadn't thought of that angle. If a bunch of us signed a pledge to subscribe if certain heretofore-thought-of-as MISinformation were suddenly and forcefully "myth-busted" in New York Times....
And the NYT did let the incomparable loon and serial fantasist Louise Mensch write opeds.
Louise really is genuinely "nuts". That and she is not very bright either.
Hence her rise in mad bad world.
https://youtu.be/3252FSW7OC4
In her home country, Louise was a laughing stock, a thing of shame.
Look a bit further back. WDM in Iraq.
Panama had no WMD, but they went in and killed 5000 people anyway.
I wonder how many under a certain age even remember Panama?
"No one will ask the victor if they lied", Hitler when asked about his false flag attack at Gleiwitz Poland.
Indeed. For most, the history started on Feb 22 2022.
ALL traditional paper media and their internet instances have gravitated to a regard for facts and truth that is far lower than the standards embraced by the National Enquirer and other legacy rags that relied on gossip and fabrication. I once was involved in newspaper distribution, and the worst garbage sheet I saw during that time was the Philadelphia Journal (aka "Philly Urinal") which regularly featured lead stories with headlines such as "Teacher Killed by Nail Through Head". The "journalism" of today is far less respectable than that.
Glenn, your career never depended on what job you had or where you worked. Your career has always depended on your integrity.
And that is why are where you are today - respected and trusted by those with the wit to see who you are. Because you have integrity.
Integrity and principles are lacking in society. All too often people excuse what one group of individuals do if they agree with them. That is why the DNC hates Glenn as he follows the corruption, regardless of whose watch it occurs under. It's also why I value him as he is a strait shooter.
It's like there's 3 real journalists left in America and GG leads the pack.
It worked, Biden got elected. Another reason we must be against censorship. We can't have big tech and the security agencies telling us what we can and should read
Why do I get the feeling that the laptop contained information about the actual goings on in Ukraine? Were we to know what was on that laptop, perhaps we would not be marching lockstep into WW3.
interesting instinct, and the question of how all of this , relates to current events in
Ukraine where I find that much of the media, and almost all of the politicians are in
denial about the Azov Battalion, could care less about the Eastern Ukraine population (Donbass area) apparently 14,000 dead since 2015 killed by bombardments from
Ukraine. Unfortunately individuals like Tulsi Gabbard and Tucker Carlson who are
trying to be rational about this, and apparently concerned about the blood lust that has
taken over are described as traitors etc. We are at a very dangerous moment in our
country, wiping out what may be the last vestiges of what we think of as democratic
processes for making decisions.
>> all of the politicians are in denial about the Azov Battalion,
Not in denial. Willfully lying.
All Ukrainians are in Azov now. They are in it because mad dogs like Putin have upset the peace of Europe. For years, since they were formed in 2014, they had warned that this day would come, that Putin would invade. Most people thought they were too hot-headed, too crudely nationalistic. They thought that raw aggression like the one we are seeing was impossible in the 20th Century Europe. They felt Azov was a throwback to another age, completely inappropriate in a nation that wanted economic, political and cultural integration with the West. Well here we are, 44 million Ukrainian nationalists and the volunteer battalions no longer seem so extreme. Putin has not only accomplished this, he had gotten Germany to double its military budget. He’s gotten Sweden and Finland to consider joining NATO. The Poles, the Latvians, Estonians and the Lithuanians are on wartime footing. No one needs to deny Azov. They are fighting the army of a man that is now widely denounced as a murderer and a war criminal. Ok sasha, you can call me stupid now. I know your routine.
You are not stupid. You are easily impressed.
Now, go peruse the Facebook posts so gladly allowed now, calling to kill Russians.
Right on cue. Fucking sasha. You are as dependable as an old dog. Imagine, Facebook allows people to call for the killing of Russians while Russians are actually killing Ukrainians. Ironic, no?
No, not at all.
Yes, Fritzi, the as bombs fall on Mariupol you raise the same points that the Russian ambassador to the UN did yesterday. Excellent timing. You will find a dozen or so people on this forum that agree with you. They hold fringe views with respect to the rest of the world but as all members of sectarian group know, only they and their small in-group can discern the dark and nefarious forces that control everything. I wonder how it is you could remain here in the belly of the beast when for eight years a simple trip to Donetsk or Luhansk might have allowed you to fight alongside freedom fighters in one of the last bastions of true democracy in the world and kill Azov nazis to boot. Let the howling begin.
I suggest learning about the history of war propaganda.
Zelensky is a professional actor and TV producer. Anything we see could be staged. "The last step for the media upon preparing a country for war involves continual reporting of atrocities. Fabricating and or embellishing stories will serve to stir up and strengthen emotional reactions, which will eventually lead to a sudden urge to go to war. The focus of propaganda during wartimes is often on children. In World War I, stories were published detailing how Germans would throw babies into the air and spear them onto their bayonets during their marches. [...] The Iraqi soldiers did not, as America claimed, throw babies out of incubators." https://web.stanford.edu/class/e297a/War%20Propaganda%20Past%20Present%20and%20Future.doc
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony
Oh, so Zelensky is not in Kyiv, he is an actor hiding out somewhere on a film lot in Southern California. His appearances, all all filmed in front of a green screen. As for the damage to Kharkiv, Kyiv, Marioupol, Irpin...., that one can view on twitter, YouTube and hundreds of other sights all fabricated, CGI, not by thousands of eye witnesses with cameras uploading images. Thanks for exposing this, the is biggest hoax in the history of humanity. And I thought the moon landing was a big lie. On second thought, you are a moron. You have proved it with your comment. Attaching a link to a Stanford U lecture on propaganda doesn't maker you any less of a moron. Do you even read your own shit before you post it. And don't come back saying I'm denying propaganda exists.
I don't care where Zelensky is, but stories about Russians bombing maternity wards should be seen in the context of historical war propaganda that was later debunked. It is a useful observation of academics that made-up atrocities against children are a common tactic.
Given the history of war propaganda, it would be surprising if Ukraine were not trying to shower the US with bogus images.
So you don't think a maternity ward was bombed. Is that, right? And if it has been bombed what penance will you pay later for your lack of humanity and compassion. Atrocities happen in war time, that your concern is for the ‘truth’ instead of the maimed and injured says it all. You are not a doubting Thomas, you are an idiot. If you cannot discern the difference between truth and fiction based on the fact that fiction exists, you are. not only an idiot, you are confused. I know I have a reputation on this forum for insulting some people I disagree with. Even they would acknowledge, however, that in your case, I’m right.
Hey, don't you have the video of Ghost of Kiev to re-watch?
Let me get the local paranormal investigators to interview him.
I liked Ace Combat 6 the best.
I’m pretty sure the Russian Embassy can email it to you. They gave it four stars. Note: only films by or about the great leader get five stars. But you already know that.
Again, for anyone who would take you seriously, sasha, I would direct them to the Center for Political Innovation. They seem to have generated all of sasha’s talking points.
It's more than propaganda, it's group-think or herd think combined with a need for people to conform with others. It's times like this when I thank God for having mild autism, as I could care less about 'fitting in.'
I think you mean to say, could NOT care less…😊
That's the downside of being mildly autistic, I suck at multi-tasking and was doing so when I wrote that post.
Ah, as expected, on-cue, the Ukro-Nazi apologist makes the appearance.
The BBC has been reporting on the situation in Eastern Ukraine, i.e., Russian incursions and killing Ukrainians living there in the Ukrainian defense forces, before the current Russian invasion.
Les, there are half a dozen cultists on this forum that have bought into Russian inspired propaganda for years. They all seem to sip from the same puddle. They rely on a handful of ‘alternative ‘ sources that have convinced them that somehow, everyone else is either duped, stupid or a CIA asset and that the truth is their’s alone. Since they all rely on a very narrow ideological tendency spun through a handful of writers/bloggers who cite each other, solely, and never contradict each other, they have convinced themselves the they have uncovered the Rosetta Stone to world affairs. If they come at you for your comment, don’t take it to seriously, they basically hounds howling at the moon while the rest of us just want so peace and quiet.
Even without the laptop we knew that the First Family was on the take from the Ukraine, who are now pulling us into their war with Russia. On top of that were shady business deals in China.
Stick to listening to Carlson, Gabbard, Greenwald and Tabbi. Even if they don't write or speak much about Ukraine, it's better than getting lost in swamp rat lies.
That's an interesting thought. Well, Rudy Giuliani should know, since he had Hunter's laptop... maybe something related to the 30 BioWeapon Labs that the Pentagon set up in Ukraine?
Excellent article. Thank you for continuing to do the hard work of reporting the truth. Though many don’t care about it and feed off the MSM many more are waking up. Keep writing. We need you
This crime against the truth and against the people had me cancelling my subscription to The Times, facebook, and instagram. I never used twitter to begin with, and had already switched years ago from google to duck duck go. I stopped using amazon (owner of the WaPo and financed by the CIA) and started shopping brick and mortars again, and began reading the NYPost daily.
Never have I been so disgusted with the confederacy of dunces made up of media, politicians, and operatives in my entire life. The "threat to democracy" the left laments is not a bunch of clowns protesting on January 6th, or piecemeal gerrymandering and the non-existent "voter suppression", it is the contemptible behavior of the left that began in 2016 with Hillary and the DNC, and continued through the blatant and treacherous disinformation dissembled by a corrosive media and culture-making machine (no surprise that obama became a part of Netflix) during the Trump years, and culminating with a total and well orchestrated pack of lies, censorship and news blackouts in the 2020 campaign.
I've never imagined being so demoralized by the institutions I'd embraced and trusted all of my life (though admittedly with a healthy dose of salt and skepticism) as I've become over the last 20 or so years.
Thank you Mr. Greenwald for your continued vigilance.
That's not "the left" you cite, that's neo-liberals, and they are not in any way "left."
Some information to back that up: http://thetroypress.com/articles/art/20210314/art.20210314.html
The left has been co-opted by the corporatists and so many have fallen into it and are now useful idiots. Most REAL left are now non-partisan or more “conservative.” Trying to prop up ‘left’ is a waste of time and energy at this stage. It’s mostly an identity-based cause. They are now the classical left and are history. I used to be one.
Advise as many people as you can to fully drop such garbage and switch to alternatives. There is Protonmail (a Swiss outfit) over Gmail, there is Brave (a web browser) over Chrome, and there is Duck Duck Go, perhaps the least bad (though still bad given their censorship over Ukraine) web browser.
As for social media...you are smarter to drop it. Just look at who runs the twitter mob, a bunch of brainless, emotion-crazed DNC politicahacks.
Unfortunately, I think that the political rot metastasized when Bush and Cheney orchestrated the WMD issue and got us involved in Iraq and Afghanistan for the last 20 years. It has made me cynical about the integrity of BOTH parties.
You do realize that DDG announced the other day that they would begin censoring results for "misinformation", do you not? NTM that they (as do all of the "alternative" search sites of which I am aware) use initial results from either Google and/or Bing (aka Microsoft) search engines to parse for the results they present to the user? Sadly, internet alchemy doesn't work one whit better that the metallurgical variety. I am very much in favor of finding (or creating) viable alternatives to the domination of the internet by FAANG (et al), but falsely raising hopes about providers that are not truly alternatives is nothing but a distraction.
As for DDG, I didn't hear about said announcement, but regarding their taking search results from Google (IDK about Bing), I am VERY sure that's false. However, it COULD just be that whatever you're searching for at that moment MIGHT happen to be in the top results for both (all three?) search engines; you simply cannot tell from one search alone OR from more popular searches, either. ... I'm guessing you're NOT "an IT professional?"
To all who replied:
The point of my post was not to advise anyone against use of DDG.
BTW, DDG's own Sources page admits that they use Bing results as a primary source.
https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources/
They do deny using Google (maybe it costs too much?)
My point was rather to advise against any assumption that the results of DDG use will be free of the kind of biases that plague Google and other search tools. I still use DDG sometimes. Most recently I have been using (in order of preference for most searches): Ecosia; Qwant, DDG; the Searx search form; and (yes, sometimes) Google. My primary criterion is privacy, which, to me, means (among other things) that the search tool must deliver results with JavaScript disabled. I harbor no delusions that the search results will not reflect the aggregate biases of all of the parties supplying the services used to fulfill the search request. The way that internet search works, such an outcome is virtually impossible. Even if the results were not parsed and culled based on criteria not requested by the searcher, the mere volume of results from most searches would make the mere order in which they are presented into a formidible tool for advancing a selective POV. Once upon a time there was at least one search (might have been Deja Vu, I really don't recall for certain) that did it's own primary search, and allowed the user full use of Boolean arguments to screen those results, as well as specifying sort criteria. Then Google Search came along and killed off all, or nearly all of its competitors. The sheer volume of sites to be indexed today is an unscalable entry barrier to any upstart who would want to restore the kind of user control I cited above.
No, I was not aware of DDG's plan to start censoring "misinformation". I thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Although I've been aware of their selective search results for sometime, I've always found them to be more objective in their returns than google. Perfection being the enemy of good, I've been satisfied with performance. However, if you are aware of a better engine, I'm all ears (or eyes?)...
What I read is that DuckDuckGo's CEO (?) announced that they will "de-prioritize" certain information, which is different from forbidding it outright. I was very disappointed to read that. Of course, if an article they don't want people to read ends up in slot #500 on their list, that's equivalent to outright censorship.
" if an article they don't want people to read ends up in slot #500 on their list, that's equivalent to outright censorship"
Yes, indeed.
If anyone wants to research this further, here is a raw list of the pertinent links and quotes that I found:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18079649/block-a-site-from-search-engine-duckduckgo
https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources/

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/23/technology/duckduckgo-conspiracy-theories.html
"DuckDuckGo said it “regularly” flagged problematic search terms with Bing so they could be addressed. After The Times shared some data on search results for numerous terms spread by conspiracy theorists, several of the search results changed entirely, shifting to favor more trustworthy sources.
“Finding the right balance between delivering authoritative results that match the intent of a search query and protecting users from being misled is a very challenging problem,” Bing said in a statement, adding: “We won’t always get that balance just right, but that’s our goal.”
Kamyl Bazbaz, the vice president of communications for DuckDuckGo, said that its results were often similar to Google’s and that most search terms reviewed by The Times received nearly no traffic.
While Google tended to surface links from trustworthy news sources more often, Mr. Bazbaz said adding a few more keywords to any given search usually surfaced the misleading information on Google anyway.
“If you’re looking for this stuff, no matter where you’re searching for it, you can find it,” he said."
The mea culpas never come in time. The mea culpas are only done to maintain their thin veil of "credibility".
The lies are seen by billions, the down in a mine shaft corrections though?
Who will be held accountable?
Nobody. It's the CIA who runs the USA.
CIA? U sure? Seems like Tel Aviv actually runs the place since no matter what scandal is initiated they seem to benefit. Either through monetary policy feeding their banking assets or military actions destroying their neighbors
The U.S would be in infinitely better shape if "Tel Aviv" really was running this shit show
No way. These rats think they will rule over us while they study and do nothing
Considering the number of Russian troops in Syria very close to the border, and the Iran deal that will result in the Russian allies mullahs with bombs I think your calculation is off.
>> mullahs with bombs
They have to work around that anti-bomb fatwa somehow.
CIAIPAC?
Tel Aviv, in my opinion, is only involved to the extent that their spies do CIA-ordered assassinations in the USA and the CIA does them in Israel so neither breaks laws about domestic violence.
No one, ever. After almost five years of Russia/Trump front page headlines attributed to anonymous sources that were completely false, not one of these sources has been outed. These reporters and publishers have no shame. And yet they continue as though we'll believe them this time.
No one. Ever.
On the bright side, death comes for us all.
Holding any of these rats accountable would be called anti semetic
Because everyone involved in the tech titans, legacy press, DNC and the swamp rats are all Jewish? Spare me that old conspiracy theory that has been demolished more times than I can count....and in being an astronomy buff with the knowledge of how many miles are in each light year, I can count pretty high.
Just because something isn't true doesn't mean they won't say it. Do you really still not understand that at this point?
(Though TBH they would probably call it racist rather than anti-Semitic, considering that Democrats themselves are pretty anti-Semitic these days, even the Jewish ones.)
True, the DNC uses so many baseless buzzwords to shut people up it's insulting. Sadly, Snap has demonstrated that he is a Holocaust denier on this page and therefore is an undisputed idiot.
We have to do it anyway.
Honestly 6million is impossible
Right....and there was no famine in Ukraine, the Caucasus and Kazakhstan in 1932-33. Take the tinfoil hat off, it's obstructing the blood flow to your brain.
Please Stephan, you have to go back to Reddit
I confess, I have made a total of three posts on Reddit. You got one thing right. Then again a clock with the date/time feature set to military time is right once a year so...it's not exactly something to brag about.
Holocaust denial and Jewish world domination conspiracy garbage are, along with communist apologists and Armenia denialists, among the few groups of loons who legitimately piss me off.
What do you all think we can do about the no accountability?
give gift subs to GG
Kristalnact 2, 2022 boogaloo
99% anti-Jewish posts come from deep state agents trying to cause trouble and further the either/or scam. Snap back to your deep state hole wherever it is! Add a dose of anti-Jew and then someone later comes around accusing Glenn of antisemitism because of these kinds of comments, even if Jewish. It's so old already!
Well I’m not deep state. Just a rando from NY who notices that most of the trouble stems from them. Wealth inequity, health care, bio pharmacy, divisive messages in media and Hollywood, foreign wars and AIPAC.
Honestly it’s all so tiresome and I pray we get another populist who names them
It is wrong to broadly vilify a group like you are doing. We are individuals and should be treated as such
Horseshit. Literally 3000 years of this shit happening again and again.
Lol you wrote this
You showed your hand a bit too obviously in this post, agent.
Back to remedial training for you.
Please, don't mix Marxists into this mess.
💯
I say it every time. Most people would rather believe a lie they know to be a lie than to hear the truth and be forced to deal with it. Literally the entire mainstream Press is architected to support this. Meanwhile, we're not even allowed to see the Fed for the disaster that it is. The same media is happily propagating the fallacy that it's Putin's fault and ultimately, it's Trump's fault that the price of everything is going up. Yesterday, my mother gleefully declared "I don't believe it's Biden's fault that gas prices are going up." Well of course it isn't. Joe Biden isn't driving this train to hell, he's merely the dumb sonofabitch lashed to the front of it while it plows through whatever remains of our societal decency and integrity. Believe whatever the hell you want, I guess that's the lesson.
The NYT is one of the most destructive forces in American politics. Hard to believe but they still set the agenda for the rest of the MSM. The Times gives permission to the rest of the media to ignore important issues. There is no parity in reporting; what's bad for one side is never reported on the other side. How bad is the Times? Debate any avid Times reader and their ignorance of facts is laughable.
Editorial quibble, Glenn - the NYT "proved" nothing today. They merely "confirmed" what you and many others have been saying for months. Still, nice to see that reality is eventually acknowledged.
They proved they knew and proved they lied.
