The Real Russian Swindle
Evidence dribbling out now indicates "Trump Russian Collusion" was a politically designed & media propelled fabrication. Relentlessly pushed & fake, it interfered with voter opinion, likely delivering the House to Democrats in the 2018 midterms. #sick
You are right about large companies - they PRETEND that there is meritocracy. Small companies would go out of business quickly if they do not hire good people. And we see the problem again - bailouts of large incompetents just because they have political clout. Let'em go broke, and smaller companies will pick up the pieces...

Trump DOJ Obtained Data on Schiff and Swalwell, Two Long-Time Champions of Domestic Spying
The two California Democrats join the long list of politicians who enable spying on ordinary citizens, then angrily object when they themselves are targeted.
The Trump Justice Department in 2017 and early 2018 issued subpoenas to Apple to obtain the communications records of at least two Democratic members of the House Intelligence Committee, Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA). According to The New York Times, DOJ prosecutors attempting to determine who leaked classified information to the media about Russiagate suspected the two House Democrats were the culprits, and to prove that, they obtained their communications records as well as those of family members, including minor children.
A DOJ leak investigation aimed at sitting members of Congress is highly unusual. Both the Obama and Trump administrations, in a hunt for leakers, created controversy by obtaining the communications records of journalists, including — in the case of the Obama DOJ — the family members of those journalists. But investigating members of the House Intelligence Committee for leaking crimes — as opposed to corruption or other standard criminal charges — can present different dangers. Neither Congressman was charged with any crimes and the investigation reportedly bore no fruit.
The two House Democrats, among the most fanatical disseminators of baseless Russiagate conspiracies and long known to serve as anonymous sources of leaks to liberal media outlets, reacted with predictable outrage.

Russia during the first 6 months of Biden's presidency:
* Received a presidential summit for Putin
* Won their key geo-strategic goal: completion of pipeline to Germany
* NYT, today: "With Afghan Collapse, Moscow Takes Charge in Central Asia" 🇷🇺
In sum, the Kremlin has won far more in the first 6 months of Biden's presidency than they did in 4 years under Trump. That's just an indisputable fact. It's not even close.
What does Vladimir Putin have on Biden or the Biden family: personally, politically or financially?
WaPo Admits Steele Dossier Is Bogus
The Leftmedia outlet was one of the biggest pushers of the dossier as evidence of Russian collusion.
LISTEN
In a classic instance of an end-of-the-week news dump, The Washington Post last Friday afternoon published an article acknowledging that it had issued corrections to two of its investigative articles on the bogus Christopher Steele dossier, one from March 2017 and the other from February 2019. The Post stated that the two articles in question “had identified a Belarusian American businessman as a key source of the ‘Steele dossier,’” but now it “could no longer stand by the accuracy of those elements of the story.” It could no longer stand because the Post got caught pushing fake news.
As John Durham’s investigation has slowly but steadily identified and honed in on the conspirators involved in creating and orchestrating the Trump/Russia collusion hoax, the latest being an indictment of Russian-American analyst Igor Danchenko on five counts of lying to the FBI, the Post is now engaged in damage control.
The Washington Post Has Had To Correct Over A Dozen Articles Related To The Junk "Steele Dossier" That Helped Launch The Trump-Russia Collusion Conspiracy Theory
These new disclosures suggest that Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch, the two former Wall Street Journal reporters behind Fusion, used the same strategy to publicize the Steele dossier and the Alfa Bank pinging story. Along with others, they simultaneously funneled information about suspected collusion to journalists, the FBI, and lawmakers—and then told reporters that government officials were investigating the issue. The result was a feedback loop that convinced journalists who already abhorred Trump for good reasons to believe they were on the right track.
Biden Administration Is Looking To Pressure Ukraine Into Ceding Territory To Russian Backed Separatists, I Guess To Appease Putin. And I Thought Trump Was The Russian Agent!
The AP is reporting today that the Biden Administration is considering a plan that does nothing to help Ukraine, but would instead give territory to Putin.

Collusion, RIP
No one wishes to speak of the “dossier” anymore. Everyone knows why: it was never a dossier. It was always a mishmash concoction of half-baked fantasies and outright lies, sloppily thrown together by the grifter and has-been ex-British spy and Trump hater, Christopher Steele—all in the pay of Hillary Clinton, the original architect of the collusion hoax.
They still get mileage out of Russia but now in a more subtle way. The recently released FBI Kennedy assassination papers clearly are pointing the finger at Russian involvement in his killing by Oswald

Twitter deliberately exaggerated claims about Russian propaganda flooding its platform in an effort to appease the Democrats and their allies in the corporate media, the latest installment of the “Twitter Files” has revealed.
According to journalist Matt Taibbi, who released another batch of the internal communication files this week, Twitter found no evidence that Russia was ramping up its influence efforts on the social media platform.
Twitter’s own internal investigations found that the claim was a “dud,” Taibbi revealed.
Nevertheless, Twitter’s former executives continued to push the Democrats’ narrative that Russia was using bots to spread propaganda and influence America’s elections, despite knowing it was false.

Yes, but only long after the "check is cashed." Like if 10 years from now they own up to the 2020 election fraud.
Volgograd on February 1, on the eve of the 80th anniversary of the victory of Soviet troops in the Battle of Stalingrad, opened a monument to Joseph Stalin. The solemn ceremony was attended by high-ranking officials and regional deputies. The bronze bust of Stalin is located on the square in front of the Battle of Stalingrad panorama museum, just 120 meters from the memorial to the victims of political repressions.

The media’s mishandling of Russiagate is responsible for declining trust in the media, argues a major four-part series in the progressive magazine, The Columbia Journalism Review. “Before the 2016 election, most Americans trusted the traditional media and the trend was positive,” notes Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jeff Gerth. “Today, the US media has the lowest credibility — 26 percent — among forty-six nations.” A big part of the reason for that, Gerth suggests, was a barrage of one-sided media coverage since 2016 falsely claiming that President Donald Trump colluded with the Russian government to steal the 2016 election, sometimes referred to as Russiagate. ...
most Americans trusted the traditional media and the trend was positive,” notes Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jeff Gerth.

Ironic, as look how many Pulitzer Prizes were given to totally fabricated stories and discredited news reporting.

Deputies in the Russian State Duma proposed to return to "Stalin's repressions"
In Russia it is necessary to revive the concept of "enemy of the people" and introduce military field tribunals to be able to judge directly at the front, said Andrey Gurulyov, a member of the Russian State Duma Defense Committee.
Gurulyov urged to return to Stalin's methods and told about his grandfather, who fought during World War II. According to the deputy, "everyone understood that at that time it was necessary to do this in the state." "People ask me, 'Do you want Stalin's repressions?' Yes, I do! <...> Yes, there were mistakes. But there was discipline. And today the main issue is discipline," he said.
Gurulyov believes that Russian soldiers must take personal responsibility for their orders and tasks and not complain about anything.

Source: Meduza
At least 21 Russian cities have canceled their May 9 Victory Day parades, according to the independent outlet Verstka.
Officials in some cities, including Kaluga, Ryazan, Oryol, Saratov, Lipetsk, Yelets, and Tyumen cited “security concerns” as the reason for foregoing the celebrations.
Authorities in Pskov and Velikiye Luki also mentioned concern for “special military operation participants” as a reason to cancel the cities’ parades. Pskov Governor Mikhail Vedernikov, for instance, said that veterans undergoing rehabilitation “perceive [fireworks] in a completely different way.” Officials in Kursk announced the city’s parade would be canceled “in light of the current situation.”
Authorities in Bryansk, Krasnodar, and Sochi didn’t provide explanations for their cancellations.

How come it's not Russia 24/7 anymore on NPR, CNN, and in the NY Times?
Have they run out of lame tenuous connections that no one is buying and which break no laws? Seemed like they could make up a new story every week for the last 8 months.
Or have they realized that investigating further looks more likely to incriminate Hillary than Trump?
