Ukraine : American Foreign Policy Blunder .

Note and "disclaimer" . I write this for sympathy for the Ukrainian people, hopefully 

this conflict will be resolved peacefully . I am writing here to expose the

corrupt Washington D.C. politics that led

to Russia invading Ukraine .

The problem is we are trying to be the world's policeman. We can't afford it for one & Ukraine & Russia are the same type of Government. (1)>>Biden took bribes from Ukraine through his son and now you want to trust him ( along with other countries )?Is the life of our young worth it? (1.1)>>Ukraine is a huge American foreign policy blunder .U.S. war hawks and their mouthpieces in the media claim that Russia is on the verge of invading Ukraine.  SO IT HAS ALREADY NOW WHAT??? (1.2)>>Ukraine has been like a fly on the shoulder of the American tax payer .The analysis of Nato’s weaknesses and Putin’s intentions was no doubt widely shared but Biden had said the quiet part loud, contradicting what his own officials had been saying. Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser, had just been telling Foreign Policy that one of the great successes of the Biden administration was “the 30 allies of Nato [were] speaking with one voice in the Russia-Ukraine crisis”.  The American taxpayers have provided roughly $1.7 billion in financial support to Ukraine over the last three years.For what?European countries were not pulling their weight in  (2)>>supporting Ukraine and that he is merely trying to root out corruption. While some may scoff at these defenses, our tax dollars are actually being used to fund a variety of programs that are trying to stymie corruption in Ukraine. The mess right now in Ukraine is decades long , starting with the  (3)>>2014 coup that many blame American sabotage to get rid of a pro Russian puppet , the American adventurism installed their puppet . Hard to say. I don't think the answer is a definitive no like everyone else is saying. The US backed a coup in 2014 which led to the overthrow of the existing government. The entire time before and after we were setting up our favorite guy to win the election that would be had following the coup. Though the USA does not currently have troops there, we have from time to time sent troops there to conduct military training and exercises with Ukrainian troops (with the intention of scaring Russia as many military leaders have attested to). NATO however does have troops there and NATO is essentially the USA's European arm.(3.1)>>Now PUTIN WANTS HIS PUPPET in.  LET US GO BACK In the first month of the Obama presidency, Vice President Biden said the administration would work to reset relations with Russia. Initially, the US pushed for Russia to join the World Trade Organization. Antony Blinken, who advised Biden for almost two decades, suggested a new beginning. “We’re not trying to build our own sphere of influence,” he said in 2009 while visiting Ukraine with Biden. “The partnerships aren’t being built against anyone. They’re being built for the purpose of addressing common challenges that Russia also faces.”This fell apart for almost a decade after the overthrow Viktor Yanukovych, from then on Ukraine has been caught between the United Sates and Russia . One of the most disturbing factors first is that  (4)>>Ukraine is a vary poor country that was not getting any kind of humanitarian aide from the US . The "aide" that the American government sent to Ukraine in the last decades was over 6 billion dollars worth of weapons that armed a regime that most considered as being corrupt . Weapons from the west  to Ukraine are still going on with no avail .  (5)>>The U.S. would lie its way into WWIII before admitting that its wars are fought for one reason alone: to make rich men richer. Russia’s vast mineral, oil and gas wealth is what the U.S. is really after. Here’s the truth: The U.S. has been on a steady march to push troops closer to Russia, despite assurances U.S./NATO forces would not move “one inch eastward,” in the words of U.S. Secretary of State James Baker in 1990. To raid resources, expand markets and exploit more workers, the U.S. and the EU want Russia under their boot, just like they’ve got Ukraine, Poland and other countries of Eastern Europe. While Big Business media has incessantly beat the drum for war with Russia, they bury the fact that in 2021 alone, the U.S. government pledged more than $400 million in taxpayer dollars to build up the military power of the fascist government of Ukraine — which the Obama/Biden administration installed after a violent coup in 2014. The coup accomplished two main goals for the U.S.: Ukraine was forced to submit to the control of U.S. and EU banks; and it became a major buyer of U.S. weapons, which are now aimed at neighboring Russia.Since 2014 the country has seen an explosion of terrorism against trade unionists and Roma, Jewish and LGBTQ people.  (6)>>Fascist gangs like the C14 patrol the streets of Kiev with the official sanction of the government. Living standards have declined to the point that 22.9% of Ukrainian children suffer from chronic malnutrition, according to the U.N.U.S. strategists, war planners, corporate media and politicians are unanimous in demanding that the European Union must prepare to impose the most extreme economic sanctions, especially  (6.1)>>the drastic step of blocking the new Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia. Why are U.S. officials so focused on blocking the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia into Germany and other EU countries? Why is the trade in other essential energy supplies also being threatened? (7)>>The Ukrainian military now has a force of 150,000 troops, armed with modern U.S. weapons and trained by U.S. “advisers,” along with fascist mercenary and Special Ops units near the Russian border and the independent regions in Donbass, which they have been shelling.Thousands of additional U.S. troops are arriving in the region. U.S.-commanded NATO bases in Poland and Romania are being expanded with advanced missile batteries, able to fire nuclear-capable missiles that can reach Russian cities within 30 minutes. For months U.S. and British naval operations have continued on the Black Sea off the Russian coast.Funny thing - Ukrainians are reluctant to commit a suicide by attacking Russia. USA with other puppets took “their people“ away, so those puppets do not wait for Afghanistanian scenario - they are not strong enough to keep airplanes wheels as puppets in AFG. Zelensky had even banned MPs and other puppets from leaving the country.USA with other puppets are going to open the air-blockade. No airplanes to and from Ukraine.  (8)>>That Russia has provided a reliable energy source threatens U.S. economic domination of Europe. Washington perceives this trade as opening the door to further trade with Russia. Of even greater concern, it’s an opening to China’s Belt and Road trade and development initiatives. Tomorrow Russian people will be poorer and angrier than ever. Anger in Russia will never be truly visible until people have had enough of it. Then it will be quite something. He will for sure try to diverge that anger onto Ukraine.Yes he did this before with Crimea and other wars like Syria and such. All equally terrible. But now he is messing directly with NATO. And threatening to engage multiple countries. No matter what, I think Putin severely overplayed his hand here. And I am afraid at what will happen when you force one of the worlds most powerful leaders, who scares other rulers of the country, into a corner. BUT the blame for this is also at the door step of American failed policy toward  Russia & Ukraine . RIGHT after writing this  (9)>>I can only hope for PEACE between all sides , am against any further escalation of this war .

NOTES AND COMMENTS: (1)>>Biden took bribes from Ukraine . On April 16, 2014, Vice President Biden met with his son’s business partner, Devon Archer, at the White House. Five days later, Vice President Biden visited Ukraine, and he soon after was described in the press as the “public face of the administration’s handling of Ukraine.” The day after his visit, on April 22, Archer joined the board of Burisma. Six days later, on April 28, British officials seized $23 million from the London bank accounts of Burisma’s owner, Mykola Zlochevsky. Fourteen days later, on May 12, Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma, and over the course of the next several years, Hunter Biden and Devon Archer were paid millions of dollars from a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch for their participation on the board.United States Vice President Joe Biden has never been one to hold his tongue. He certainly didn’t in his recent trip to Kiev. In a speech before Ukraine’s Parliament, Biden told legislators that corruption was eating Ukraine “like a cancer,” and warned Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that Ukraine had “one more chance” to confront corruption before the United States cuts off aid.  (1.1)>>Ukraine is a huge American foreign policy blunder .Let's talk about hypocrisy. Where were the protests when US/NATO was slaughtering millions of people in the Middle East? Where are the protests about the millions of starving people in Afghanistan caused by US/NATO occupation. No protests for the humanitarian crisis in Yemen? 😎A lot of people posting about their concern for people in Kyiv haven't ever tweeted about their concern for people in Damascus, Palestine, Yemen, Somalia, etc. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but it isn't good whatever it is.The crisis exposes the intensifying competition to dominate all of Europe, especially Germany, the largest economic power in Europe and the dominant force in the European Union. NOW only thing US Gov cares about those conflicts is if they can take part it in, either actively with troops or by selling weapons. (1.2)>>Ukraine has been like a fly on the shoulder of the American tax payer . AS stated , the US Gov could not ignore a conflict to send billions of tax payer dollars overseas . The Biden administration wants Congress to provide $6.4 billion to pay for an initial U.S. response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, largely for military and humanitarian assistance in the region, three people familiar with the request . Lawmakers, returning from a recess, plan to focus next week on writing bipartisan legislation financing federal agencies for the rest of this year. Leaders hope to approve that roughly $1.5 trillion measure by March 11, when money temporarily financing government will run out.It was initially unclear whether the Ukraine money would be part of that broader budget legislation, if not how quickly  The United States has given Ukraine $2.7 billion in military aid since 2014, including $650 million since President Biden took office, along with deployments of U.S. and NATO military trainers. it would move and whether lawmakers would attempt to attach additional U.S. sanctions against Russia. However the American tax payer is punished with a economy that is crashing under the Biden Administration .(2)>>supporting Ukraine and that he is merely trying to root out corruption. United States Vice President Joe Biden has never been one to hold his tongue. He certainly didn’t in his recent trip to Kiev. In a speech before Ukraine’s Parliament, Biden told legislators that corruption was eating Ukraine “like a cancer,” and warned Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that Ukraine had “one more chance” to confront corruption before the United States cuts off aid.We'd better focus on the levels of economic freedoms (Ukraine has one of the lowest), separation of the branches of power, independence of courts, robust mechanisms for implementing court decisions.Corrupt yes, dictatorship no. Why should you be concerned? Because if you let countries use false flag operations to steal pieces of a sovereign country without any repercussions then ANY country can use this as an excuse. It will cause more havoc and more casualties and even if you are not directly involved you will feel it anyway (economically for example). When it comes to Ukrainian corruption, the numbers speak for themselves. Over $12 billion per year disappears from the Ukrainian budget, according to an adviser to Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau. And in its most recent review of global graft, anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International ranked Ukraine 142 out of 174 countries on its Corruption Perceptions Index — below countries such as Uganda, Nicaragua and Nigeria. Ordinary Ukrainians also endure paying petty bribes in all areas of life. From vehicle registration, to getting their children into kindergarten, to obtaining needed medicine, everything connected to government has a price.(3)>>2014 coup that many blame American sabotage to get rid of a pro Russian puppet. The U.S. role in managing the coup was exposed by a leaked 2014 audio recording of Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt working on their plans, which included sidelining the European Union and shoehorning in U.S. protege Arseniy Yatsenyuk as prime minister. Both of Nuland’s hand-picked puppets in Ukraine, Prime Minister Yatsenyuk and President Poroshenko, were soon mired in corruption scandals. Yatsenyuk was forced to resign after two years and Poroshenko was named in a tax evasion scandal revealed in the Panama Papers. Post-coup, war-torn Ukraine remains the poorest country in Europe, and one of the most corrupt. In 2015, the Minsk and Normandy negotiations led to a ceasefire and the withdrawal of heavy weapons from a buffer zone around the separatist-held areas. Ukraine agreed to grant greater autonomy to Donetsk, Luhansk, and other ethnically Russian areas of Ukraine, but it has failed to follow through on that agreement. But the U.S. and NATO’s interest in Ukraine is not really about resolving its regional differences, but about something else altogether. The U.S. coup was calculated to put Russia in an impossible position. If Russia did nothing, a post-coup Ukraine would sooner or later join NATO, as NATO members had already agreed to in principle in 2008. NATO forces would advance right up to Russia’s border, and Russia’s important naval base at Sevastopol in the Crimea would fall under NATO control. (3.1)>>Now PUTIN WANTS HIS PUPPET in . NOW PUTIN strikes back after a decade of US control of Ukraine, now he wants to put his puppet in . Putin is no fool , he sensed the danger of Ukraine joining NATO . I guess Putin picked up the idea of "regime change" from the American yahoo adventures of the last two decades . TIME TO INVADE !!!!  Yevheniy Murayev seems almost thankful that British intelligence outed him as Vladimir Putin’s suspected choice to head a puppet government in case of a Russian invasion of Ukraine. In an interview with The Daily Beast, the wealthy 45-year-old politician, who now finds himself at the center of a global media firestorm surrounding the report, said he is “amused” by the “name recognition” he has acquired over the past few weeks.Murayev is less than coy about his historically pro-Russia views. As the founder of a notorious pro-Russia TV channel—on which he is a regular guest—his loyalty to the Kremlin has been on public display for years.Adding to that, the politician is also open about his plans to run in Ukraine’s 2024 presidential elections. As a buildup of Russian troops surrounds Ukraine’s borders, and millions fear what seems to be inevitable war, Murayev says he is carefully—and ambitiously—plotting his path to the very top of Ukraine’s government.(4)>>Ukraine is a vary poor country . Ukraine is a middle-income country. Its GDP per capita (PPP) is somewhere around $13000, which is similar to Libya or Paraguay. That’s not terrible, but what is terrible is how Ukraine has stagnated since the fall of the Soviet Union. By the World Bank’s reckoning, Ukraine is about 20% poorer now than it was in 1990!So why did this happen? Why has Ukraine failed economically? One obvious culprit is the war itself, which since 2014 has chilled foreign investment and forced the government to divert resources toward the military.(5)>>The U.S. would lie its way into WWIII before admitting that its wars are fought for one reason alone: to make rich men richer. NO ONE WANTS A WAR !   I explained , but the Military Complex in the US, every American should FEAR a lot more .And you trust the Government & Media?The French told us not to go into South Vietnam but we did anyway. We were in for over 10 years supporting a corrupt government and lost 55 thousand men because the other side was communist. We found out years later the Government lied about the "Tonken affair" and pushed this lie to get us into a war. We found out the Generals knew we could not win the war. All this was discovered in the Pentagon Papers in the 1970s.We went to war in Iraq on a lie. Did we not learn from this? Why do you trust the information we are getting? Biden's family - (Through Family members} received bribe money from this corrupt country and this does not bother you?(6)>>Fascist gangs like the C14 patrol the streets of Kiev. Today, increasing reports of far-right violence, ultranationalism, and erosion of basic freedoms are giving the lie to the West’s initial euphoria. There are neo-Nazi pogroms against the Roma, rampant attacks on feminists and LGBT groups, book bans, and state-sponsored glorification of Nazi collaborators. These stories of Ukraine’s dark nationalism aren’t coming out of Moscow; they’re being filed by Western media, including US-funded Radio Free Europe (RFE); Jewish organizations such as the World Jewish Congress and the Simon Wiesenthal Center; and watchdogs like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Freedom House, which issued a joint report warning that Kiev is losing the monopoly on the use of force in the country as far-right gangs operate with impunity.(6.1)>>the drastic step of blocking the new Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline .  The 745-mile natural gas pipeline called Nord Stream 2, a joint German-Russian energy project, undercuts the ability of giant U.S. energy corporations to sell their far more expensive natural gas extracted through hydraulic fracturing or fracking. The Nord Stream 2 pipeline is now complete. It was awaiting final certification by German regulators, which the German government is withholding. The pipeline, which transmits Russian natural gas under the Baltic Sea directly to Germany, also bypasses Ukrainian transit infrastructure.Russia already provides around a third of Europe’s natural gas through other existing pipelines. While it is far cheaper, environmentally preferable and more direct to build pipelines from Russia to European customers than to export from North America, U.S. corporations are driven to offload liquefied natural gas (LNG) gas in Europe, Asia or elsewhere. Both Democrat and Republican politicians are united in their determination to stop Nord Stream 2.  (7)>>The Ukrainian military now has a force of 150,000 troops. Ukraine's forces meanwhile amount to barely more than the number of troops Russia had amassed around its borders, with a standing army of 145,000, 45,000 in the air force and 11,000 in the navy, according to the IISS.It has some 100,000 other forces and 900,000 reserve soldiers.Analysts also note that the gulf in firepower is even wider in terms of military hardware, with Russia's almost 16,000 armoured fighting vehicles -- including tanks -- dwarfing the Ukrainian fleet of 3,300.Artillery numbers show a similar difference, while the Ukrainian air force is a tenth the size of its Russian counterpart.(8)>>That Russia has provided a reliable energy source threatens U.S. economic domination of Europe. The United States announced on Wednesday that the US would impose sanctions on the company in charge of building Russia’s Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.The sanctions, which target the Nord Stream 2 AG company and its corporate officers, add to pressure on the Baltic Sea project that was designed to double the gas flow capacity from Russia to Germany.Europe relies on Russia for around 40 per cent of its natural gas. Most comes through pipelines including Yamal-Europe, which crosses Belarus and Poland to Germany, and Nord Stream 1, which goes directly to Germany, and via Ukraine.Europe's gas markets are linked by a network of pipelines. Most countries have cut reliance on Russian gas over the years and there are also more supply routes that bypass Ukraine. By last year Ukraine was a transit corridor largely for gas going into Slovakia, from where it continued to Austria and Italy.(9)>>I can only hope for PEACE. We can only hope for peace . Both sides have to find common ground . The West has to cease sending weapons to Ukraine  for starters . I think it's possible to do better, but IMO a big part of it has to do with citizens of democracy caring more about their government, and then doing more to help other countries living under dictatorship. Right now the US is in retreat from the world mode. War is hell on Earth. And I know that humanity isn't perfect. But we should be better than this. We should TRY to be better than this.War is the politics of rich old men who are having a spat, and use their young men and women to go and kill each other so they can figure out who gets to be the bigger billionaire.I hope it does not come across as yet another hollow gesture, but maybe that is unavoidable, as we live at the whims and pressures of our "leaders".

Durham Report REVELATIONS .

Crooked Hillary ? No she did not spy on Trump ,
she did not start Russia -gate ,
no way she may have started a war a unwanted 
war with Russia .

For a long while Donald Trump was complaining that Obama was spying on him, that he  "wire tapped my phones" as Trump exclaimed .Mr. Trump called his predecessor a “bad (or sick) guy” on Twitter as he fired off a series of messages claiming that  (1)>>Mr. Obama “had my ‘wires tapped.’” He likened the supposed tapping to “Nixon/Watergate” and “McCarthyism,” though he did not say where he had gotten his information. It was pretty much laughed off by the press . When this accusation came up , I was thinking that "perhaps" Trump did not make this up out of the blue . First we have to remember that (2)>>Hillary Clinton accused Trump of working for Putin . If the Durham is really credible . The revelation that the Clinton campaign hired a tech company to effectively spy on a running candidate, and then a sitting US President. If Watergate was as big a scandal as it was, then brushing this under the rug is in bad faith.Let's look at the presumed factors , During the 2016 campaign, the federal authorities began an investigation into (2.1)>>links between Trump associates and the Russian government. Durham's report will show a Democratic conspiracy against him in 2016 and if not, it's due to a current Dem conspiracy to suppress Durham's investigation. Either way, STILL PROOF that the FBI was spying on Trump .Durham’s investigation has long faced criticism, as Democrats and legal observers have worried that the prosecutor. But we have all the facts now. The entire Russia Collusion narrative has been thoroughly debunked.We have the Clinton campaign literally hiring foreign intelligence agents to manufacture a believable enough dossier through their Russian contacts, and have the FBI taking it, as if corroborated evidence, from DNC contractors. Then hired a Russian lawyer connected with the Kremlin to try and meet with Don Jr. (This is all literally collusion btw).  (3)>>The Horowitz investigation blew the whole Trump-Russia collusion theory out of the water, and indicted an FBI lawyer for playing a part in deceiving the  (3.1)>>FISA courts to go along with the charade. And now the Durham investigation is just showing more of the ridiculous games that were being played in 2016 . FBI's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, claimed that tech entrepreneur (3.2)>>Rodney Joffe had used nonpublic government domain name system data to look into supposed links between the  (4)>>Trump Organization and a Russian bank.The filing was part of a case against Michael Sussmann, a former attorney for  (5)>>Joffe who worked on behalf of Clinton's 2016 campaign. (6)>>Durham has accused Sussmann of lying when he told the FBI in 2016 that he was not representing a client when presenting data that potentially established a link between former President Trump's business and Alfa Bank based in Moscow.Durham's filing alleged that Sussmann got the relevant information from Joffe.

Hillary the Spy .

"Hillary Clinton spied on Donald Trump".  (7)>>She did rather YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT. Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, fought back against Special Counsel John Durham's allegations in his probe that accuse him of lying to the FBI during a September 2016 conversation, as he relayed concerns about potentially suspicious cyber contacts between a Trump Organization server and the server of a Russian bank. When bringing the concerns to then-FBI general counsel James Baker, the indictment alleged that Sussmann lied and said he was not representing a client when he was actually hired by Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign. NOW  real  connection to Clinton herself or her campaign,  .Hillary Clinton’s never-ending shenanigans in 2015-2016 could be summarized as an attempted slow-motion coup.  (8)>>Four years of national hysteria, a divided nation, and dangerous new tensions with Russia were some of the wages of Clinton’s machinations.Partisans in the FBI helped her, by variously spying on minor officials affiliated with the Trump campaign, like George Papadopoulos and Carter Page. To expedite its improper surveillance, (9)>>a corrupt FBI hierarchy presented fraudulent documents to a FISA court that authorized the illicit surveillance. As with so many of the conspiracy theories centered on  (10)>>Clinton, yea I believe she did . She had every reason to. That's my take on it as well. It's a whole long line of connect-the-dots where some of the connections are questionable at best, and downright intentionally misleading at worst. But the thing is, to a large part of the population, that doesn't matter. 

NOTES AND COMMENTS: 

(1)>>Mr. Obama “had my ‘wires tapped.’” President Donald Trump tweeted back in 2017 that he “just found out” that former President Barack Obama “had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower” just before the election. Trump then claimed his “phones” specifically were tapped by Obama “in October” and added, “This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!”Sunday morning’s Meet the Press, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper was asked by NBC’s Chuck Todd whether he’d know if the FBI had gotten a FISA court order for any surveillance at Trump Tower. Clapper said that he was able to affirmatively deny that that happened. “For the part of the national security apparatus that I oversaw as DNI, there was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president-elect at the time, or as a candidate, or against his campaign,”The presenter called the effort a “silent coup” by the Obama administration and called for a congressional investigation into the issue. “The Obama administration sought, and eventually obtained, authorisation to eavesdrop on the Trump campaign; continued monitoring the Trump team even when no evidence of wrongdoing was found; then relaxed the NSA [National Security Agency] rules to allow evidence to be shared widely within the government, virtually ensuring that the information, including the conversations of private citizens, would be leaked to the media.”(2)>>Hillary Clinton accused Trump of working for Putin . Since 2016, Hillary Clinton has been trolling Donald Trump on social media over his alleged ties to Russia, calling him “Putin’s Puppet.” But Special Counsel John Durham’s probe has uncovered the truth about who was Putin’s Puppet. It was Clinton herself.She and the Obama-Biden administration spy agency chiefs and their corrupt minions were unknowingly, or perhaps even knowingly, Putin’s little helpers in tearing our country apart.Hillary Clinton is the source of the 'great Russia gate hoax' that pretty much ruined Donald Trump and his Presidency , was secretly trying to remove him from office for years , two impeachment attempts. (2.1)>>links between Trump associates and the Russian government.  Let's get this straight first. Trump is a widely known as a 'businessman' in Russia for decades , as far as what we can say links on a business perspective were twisted around by the Hillary camp . As far as Trump's own businesses prospects that can be questioned like his beauty pageants in Moscow . Yes , Putin knew Trump , yes Putin liked Trump . Trump was a target after he "wanted to get along with Russia". My Observation, the Democrats [ the military industrial complex]   as usual IS totally against any kind of "getting along with Russia" . What we are seeing RIGHT now with Joe Biden is a climax of anti -Russian propaganda to keep Russia as the enemy . The conflict with Ukraine , the sanctions that never end .  Getting back to whom Trump's associates were linked  to Russia  & perhaps that was part of Hillary's great fabrication to link Trump to Putin. REMEMBER our government spent 4 years of investigations that looked like a circus ring show on television . MEANWHILE , the Russia Hoax did a lot of damage to relations between Russia and America to a point of going to war with a nuclear power , insane! (3)>>The Horowitz investigation blew the whole Trump-Russia collusion theory out of the water. Horowitz spent 476 pages to primarily conclude one thing, which is that the Justice Department acted within its guidelines in starting its investigation into the 2016 campaign of President Trump.If, in fact, Horowitz had reported that there was a group of deep state conspirators at the FBI who had plotted a coup and created the Russia investigation as an “insurance policy” against Trump’s election, the remedy would be simple—and would already have been accomplished what it did do : prevent Trump from winning a second term . Horowitz also finds no sharing of information with FISA judges that undermined the credibility of the dossier or Christopher Steele himself. Surprisingly little effort was made to fully investigate the dossier when McCabe directed investigators to it, yet investigators soon learned that critical facts reported to the FISA court were false.The FBI surveillance of A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE was based off a bogus opposition research that the fbi knew to be bogus, and they knowingly lied and omittted exculpatory info 17 different times on the FISA applications. The dossier may not have been the “start” of the Russia investigation, which is the new democratic talking point, but it was the “evidence” used to obtain the FISA warrants.Funny how the same media that defended the dossier and fisa applications at every turn, and “took down” nunes phony memo (which turned out to be entirely true) and lauded the Schiff response memo (which we now know was full of lies), is now practically silent on what is one of the biggest political scandals in history.Also, side note, it will be really interesting to see how the papadopolous investigation really started once Durham is finished with his probe. Based off Barr’s comments already, it sounds like Brennan, clapper and others will be truly screwed .(3.1)>>FISA courts to go along with the charade. The dossier was the basis for the FISA app which kicked off the surveillance. The fbi knowingly misled the court over 9 months about it. As far as your nonsensical claim that it now has “fuckall” to do with the Russia investigation (despite the media telling us for 2 years about how rock solid the FISA process is and how the court issued warrant was proof that the fbi sourcing was impeccable), wait until the Durham probe finishes before you hang your hat on the papadopolous investigation. Horowitz even points out in the IG report that there was an incredibly low bar necessary to open that investigation, and we know the fbi sent confidential human sources to spy on papadopolous. Considering this, plus the lengths the fbi went to knowingly mislead the court in the page fisa application, it seems like every “conspiracy theory” about a witch hunt is looking more and more accurate. (3.2)>>Rodney Joffe. Rodney Joffe is the person referred to as “Tech Executive-1” in Sussman’s indictment for allegedly lying to the FBI by withholding his connections to Hillary Clinton’s losing 2016 election campaign against former President Donald Trump. Joffe’s checkered past now has national security ramifications after the South African-born computer expert was outed as a key player in Special Counsel John Durham’s ongoing Russiagate probe. offe had tasked employees at his two small Internet startups to search for any Internet data (including private DNS holdings) reflecting potential connections or communications between Trump or his associates and Russia. Joffe emailed them a five-page dossier — the “Trump Associates List” — to guide their queries. As RCI first reported, the list included highly personal information on Trump campaign advisers Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, and Carter Page. Steve Bannon appears to have been added to the list later as another target, the emails released by Judicial Watch reveal.The significance of Joffe’s access to DNS records and potential privacy concerns remain murky, in part because it’s unclear what exactly was accessed and shared. (4)>>Trump Organization and a Russian bank. Examining records for the Trump domain, [ remember the servers ]  D.N.S. lookups from a pair of servers owned by Alfa Bank, one of the largest banks in Russia. Alfa Bank’s computers were looking up the address of the Trump server nearly every day. There were dozens of lookups on some days and far fewer on others, but the total number was notable: between May and September, Alfa Bank looked up the Trump Organization’s domain more than two thousand times. It has been almost four years since a group of computer scientists disclosed, on the basis of DNS (Domain Name System) logs, that two internet servers belonging to Alfa Bank had looked up the address of the Trump Organization server 2,820 times between May and September 2016. Yet the long-awaited Senate report provides only this paltry, ambiguous conclusion:“Based on the FBI’s assessment, the Committee did not find the DNS activity reflected the existence of covert communication between Alfa Bank and Trump Organization personnel. However, the Committee also could not positively determine an intent or purpose that would explain the unusual activity.”(5)>>Joffe who worked on behalf of Clinton's 2016 .Allegedly, evidence will show Clinton campaign lawyers engaged with a tech executive, now reportedly identified as Rodney Joffe, who worked with a U.S. investigative firm retained on behalf of the Clinton Campaign, numerous cyber researchers, and employees at multiple internet companies to get dirt on then-candidate Donald Trump leading up to the 2016 election.(6)>>Durham has accused Sussmann of lying. Durham's team has charged Sussmann with lying to the FBI when pushing the Alfa Bank claims. Sussmann allegedly told FBI General Counsel James Baker in September 2016 that he was not working for any particular client despite doing the bidding of Clinton’s campaign, billing his services to her, as well as working on behalf of Joffe. Sussmann denies any wrongdoing and has pleaded not guilty. Durham insists Sussmann repeated the lie in 2017.(7)>>She did rather YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT . A growing chorus of Democrats believe 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should be questioned by special advisor John Durham for her alleged role in the Russian secret server scandal in a poll conducted before bombshell revelations that her team spied on Donald Trump's campaign.In a poll last month, 66 percent of Democrats wanted Clinton questioned, a whopping 22 percentage points higher than how many in her party demanded a probe last October, according to TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics (TIPP) research. The amount of Republicans demanding answers is also swelling, rising to 91 percent in January from 80 percent last October.  Among the independent crowd, those wanting the former secretary of state probed rose to 74 percent from 65 percent. We already knew that the Steele dossier was garbage. Christopher Steele was paid indirectly by the Clinton campaign to dig up dirt, which he did by turning to other Clinton operatives, laundering every outlandish rumor about Trump he could find into an “investigative” document. He shopped it to the FBI, which couldn’t verify his sources or any of his stories, but the agency dragged out the investigation to cast maximum suspicion on the new president. In the meantime, Steele found willing accomplices in the media to push his propaganda. The dupes at BuzzFeed even decided to print the whole pack of lies, with the flimsy rationale of “Well, why not?”  (8)>>Four years of national hysteria.  Thanks to Hillary Clinton , The country went through 22 months and $40 million in legal expenses under special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate the Clinton-inspired Russian collusion hoax.Big Media’s messengers for the Deep State are nothing if not consistent. For years they sold the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax as the greatest story ever told. The worst part is that our intelligence community took the Clinton campaign’s “findings,” which were either highly misleading our outright false, according to Durham’s investigation, and ran with them. The FBI launched an investigation into Trump’s campaign, and congressional Democrats started their own investigation for the sole purpose of making Trump out to be a Russian stooge. And nearly three years later, few of the people responsible for this hoax have faced any consequences .(9)>>a corrupt FBI hierarchy. Federal Bureau of Investigation. was working with Obama - Hillary to go after Trump. US intelligence officials have blamed Russia for hacking the DNC and releasing its internal communications online. THE DNC servers were scrubbed clean , the emails dumped .The source, who would not speak on the record, said neither that inquiry nor its adjuncts were related to the new investigative developments related to Clinton. Nor is the recent criminal investigation into a National Security Agency contractor accused of hoarding highly classified intelligence data.Clinton hired a British national and ex-spy, Christopher Steele, to compile dirt on her election opponent, Donald Trump. She hid her likely illegal campaign payments to him through at least three paywalls — the Democratic National Committee, the Perkins Coie law firm, and the opposition research firm Fusion GPS.The country went through 22 months and $40 million in legal expenses under special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate the Clinton-inspired Russian collusion hoax.When it was all over, Mueller’s “dream team” found no such actionable Trump-Russian collusion.Despite all this, this fraud — one of so many that formed the Russiagate scandal — played a significant role in shaping media coverage of the 2016 election. Spurred on by Hillary Clinton herself, the liberal sector of the corporate media used this fake claim to bolster their narrative that Trump and the Russians were secretly in cahoots. (10)>>Clinton, yea I believe she did . FOUR YEARS LATER 2022 we are here , we can conclude that Hillary Clinton did sabotage the Trump Presidency . The central role played by the U.S. media in perpetuating this scam on the public — all with the goal of manipulating the election outcome — is hard to overstate . Yes , think if the Hillary club did spy on Trump , made up the Russia -hoax . Then they may have manipulated the 2020  election to make Trump lose . Going further back we must remember that Hillary had the DNC rigged against Sen . Sanders in 2017 .  Senator Elizabeth Warren if Mrs Clinton's contest against Democratic rival Bernie Sanders was rigged, and she said: "Yes."Another Democratic official writes in a new book about the party's "unethical" agreement with the Clinton campaign.President Trump said the American public "deserves" an inquiry.Ms Warren, a progressive senator from Massachusetts who campaigned for Mrs Clinton, was reacting to allegations by former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairwoman Donna Brazile.Ms Brazile writes in a new book that the cash-starved DNC signed a joint fundraising agreement with the Clinton campaign in August 2015, four months after the former secretary of state launched her candidacy. The FBI  absolved Hillary Clinton of flagrantly violating felony statutes. They weaponized other laws and regulations to investigate Trump without legal justification, in an effort to destroy him. They compromised essential principles and damaged the nation’s trust.The most frustrating aspect of this debacle is that the people who should be in front of grand juries actually set this up to overturn a legal election. The guilty ones put themselves above the law and the Constitution. 

The FALL OF CNN . & MSNBC

The far left , fear news media CNN is taking a hit .CNN has been plagued by a cascade of high-profile scandals, most notably the  (1)>>firing of its primetime star Chris Cuomo after the anchor was found to be secretly aiding the defense of his embattled older brother, former  (1.1)>>New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, over sexual harassment allegations that resulted in his resignation. This example is a microcosm of why the American people have lost faith in the “news” outlets and partly why we’ve become so polarized as a nation. It’s not about news anymore. But corporate media doesn’t get to lie the country into a war and a financial crisis, continue enriching right-wing fabulists, offer up news literally “presented by” corporate villains, and then pretend that a podcaster is the singular source of misinformation. And it sure as hell doesn’t get to feign surprise when after decades of lies, almost nobody ends up trusting corporate media about anything.It’s about ratings and money. In fact, just this past week,  (2)>>the network averaged a paltry 585,000 total viewers in primetime, placing CNN all the way back in 17th place among all basic cable. Worse yet, the channel’s 120,000 viewers in the key primetime demographic were only good enough for 31st place among cable stations.   I've given up on pretty much all of the cable news in america CNN, Fox, (3)>>MSNBC... I don't really trust any of them. CNN is not exempt from the infotainment trend in America.  NOW we have more transparency with online media. thanks in large part to places like Reddit who are quick to point out unreliable sources. look at how Reddit treats DailyMail, PrisonPlanet /Infowars, CourthouseNews, and other sources of disreputable news and information. (3.1)>>I just cannot stand the left vs. right / us vs. them mentality that they all clearly have. Even the broadcast networks aren't much better. Can we please just get journalist who report only the facts, don't ignore stories that make their preferred political side look bad, don't over sensationalize everything, and don't interject their own opinions and biases into what is supposed to be "news", while not perfect and still prone to propaganda and groupthink, it is a MUCH better system than old media. The difference is that people look to CNN for the real news and are finally realizing that they no longer provide it. AS FAR CNN ratings have gone down the hill . To add, "reporting only the facts" is not just reporting/repeating what a politician says. Report if the politician's statement is correct or not. Report if the politician's statement conveniently contradicts what they said

CNN's Most famed up flub, 
attempt to whitewash 
is making a head line of arson 
protests and that also peaceful.

last week or last year. It's a goddamn disgrace that this is left to The Daily Show and their ilk. It's sad that the viewers of satirical news shows are better informed than viewers of the actual news.CNN’s ratings took a nosedive by a massive 90 percent both overall and in the all-important demographic coveted by advertisers in the first week of the new year.  (4)>>The Jeff Zucker-led cable news network averaged just 548,000 viewers during the week of Jan. 3 — a major drop from the nearly 2.7 million viewers for the same week in 2021, according to Nielsen ratings. The year-ago ratings were jolted by the left-leaning network’s coverage of the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, which resulted in (5)>>CNN having its most-watched day since Ted Turner launched the news outlet in 1980. But on the one-year anniversary of the attacks, viewers flipped over to CNN’s right-wing rival, Fox News, which topped the ratings for coverage of the event. I watched a lot of CNN during the recent presidential election run.I only occasionally and casually watched CNN before that. However, I was stunned to see how extremely biased the reporting and the interviews were. It was even more disturbing when the reporters would try to defend their neutrality. What ever happened to “Just report the news”. All of it. Both sides of it. They lost a lot of credibility in my books. Any “news” source loses its credibility when it becomes overly biased to the point of not presenting both sides of a story in a balanced manner. It would be interesting to see a lawyer’s perspective on whether news outlets can be sued for reporting in a blatantly biased fashion.  (6)>>YOU MUST REMEMBER CNN was # 1 news network doing 24hr spin on Trump .Yes, it’s no longer an addiction to all the zany Trump content they produced every day. He was a circus and gave them great ratings. Look for them to start manufacturing more content in 2023-2025 when he inevitably wins again.  

MSNBC

If the last four years have taught us anything, it is the need for more education surrounding the topics that directly and indirectly impact us all.yet did the media ever attempt to educate about what different forms of government would actually mean for the vast majority of the population in a given country? Stop peddling controversy, especially this right-wing vs left-wing divisiveness.Let's be honest, the cable news media in general has been a (7)>>soap opera/reality TV show for over a decade with Maddow. There are villains, drama, gossip and righteous outrage. What there isn't is actual news. But let's be honest. Actual news is boring. Nobody wants to watch a half hour of well researched content about water systems maintenance, so we get flint michigans over and over again and we don't even know about it (8)>>...MSNBC worried about post Trump ratings? Foolish and absurd. First of all, TRMS will continue to soar as she has more time for her investigative deep dive. Secondly, just because the Clown Prince will finally be where he can do the least damage to our democracy, does not mean that the Clown Show will suddenly end. The deep divide in this country will not just disappear January 21st. there is much to unpack there, from travels around red and blue America, to dropped investigations that need to be picked up by intrepid journalists to expose the truth.

CNN as "fake" NEWS, WAR MONGERING PROPAGANDA .

American broadcast media systematically has distorted the news of any war and functioned as an electronic arm of the Pentagon and the mostly (9)>>PRO WAR CNN right now is brimming with coverage of the  (10)>>Ukraine Crisis , that at "any minute" Russia will invade .Oh what wait no war ??? you said it was only hours away , citing government intelligence , does that mean you have been lying again or have the CIA and FBI just been found out to be a bunch of warmongering idiots and Putin has just played the game according to your rules.Western politicians and media representatives continue to spread numerous speculations about possible Russian aggression . There was also an acute recognition that the  (11)>>American public was weary and wary of war. Costly and questionable missions, particularly in Iraq -Afghanistan , had drained support. Please explain why CNN brings on warmongering “military analysts” with ties to weapons manufacturers to give their opinion? Their should be a warning or statement that says “this person has a vested interest in war occurring…” before they speak.CNN is so desperate to distract from their own messy, warmongering corrupt platform that they’ll shriek out some pretty wild shit.If you haven’t already, now is a great time to ban all warmongering  (11)>>U.S. legacy media “news” from your daily diet.  We must send a strong message that their complicity in creating unnecessary, murderous wars is unacceptable!

CNN SEX SCANDALS . FINAL WORD .

In the case of CNN’s recent debacles, context is crucially important.  It's like a soap opera , never ending soap opera! .The list of their scandals includes Jeffrey Toobin, Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon and now, Chris Cuomo’s producer and right-hand man, John Griffin.The reason for this lack of coverage is because the media and Hollywood are all in bed with each other. Harvey Weinstein was lauded by the Clintons.  (12)>>How has CNN responded to these various scandals? Regarding their anchors, Don Lemon is still enjoying support from the network, with CNN publicly issuing a statement of support as its star anchor is sued for sexual assault. Jeffrey Toobin’s masturbation debacle is as if it never occurred as he continues to provide legal analysis on various stories. In the case of Chris Cuomo, he was thrown under the bus by the network, but only months after the allegations of aiding his brother’s political battle came to light. Some anchors at CNN such as Brian Stelter are attempting to distance themselves from Cuomo, ignoring that Cuomo was praised by all, even after he was revealed.CNN is merely a barometer that measures the failings of mankind.The scandal ridden news has a credibility problem as well. Nothing new here, just the fixation that distracts every American from the bigger picture.

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

(1)>>firing of its primetime star Chris Cuomo.  It wasn't illegal / unethical for him to do it as a brother. It was unethical for him to do it as a paid employee of CNN, an employee with a public-facing role as one of their anchors, and not disclose that he was doing this. Chris’ brother was the governor of NY state, Andrew Cuomo. Andrew was involved in a sex harassment scandal (at least 10 women reported harassment) and Chris, instead of distancing himself like a journalist should, got involved and essentially advised his brother how to get out of the scandal without accepting blame.Andrew eventually stepped down in August, after repeatedly denying guilt. He was pressured by elites in his party to resign, including President Biden, after a damning report from his own state’s Attorney general, Letitia James. The report confirmed the women’s allegations. This investigation was also what shined light on how involved Chris was in advising his brother, although the info was not originally in the report on Andrew’s misconduct. James’ office declassified documents recently which included information about Chris’ involvement as an advisor to Andrew, which some have stated amounts to him being an unpaid government staffer/aide.Further, Chris had a very public relationship with his brother that was unethical beyond this singular moment. Similar to why doctors don’t treat family members and judges don’t preside over family member cases, journalists should not be involved in any story that involves their family. CNN should have shut that ish down immediately and barred Chris from ever interviewing his brother. But they let ratings and money win out over journalistic integrity. To even call Chris a journalist is a bit of a stretch. He was a “pundit” at best.1.1)>>New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Of course. Another democrat who champions womens rights is actually sexually harassing women. Of course, why am I not surpirsed. Imagine my shock.It's more like this case seems like the Coumos just didn't care how blatant they were showing eachother favoritism in their roles, or former role in one case..INTERESTINGLY ANDREW was CNN's poster boy from 2019 to 2021 , he was constantly praised for his handling of the Covid pandemic , which we know as a real flop . He was fighting Trump pretty much during 2020 , again on CNN . His briefings were a MESS from the get go. He’s 100% a step behind NJ. When he closed the Gyms he told a young female reporter he’d like to show her his own personal home gym sometime. He hit on a reporter DURING A STATE OF EMERGENCY BRIEFING. He’s a total sleezebag. If you follow state by state briefings NJ has been on top of this and put pressure on Cuomo. The same day NJ closed 100% bars and restaurants (before NY mind you) Cuomo stated that this wasn’t a big deal and ranted about the ages of his family members and how he’s only worried about his mom.Gtfo of here praising Cuomo over this. It’s pathetic and clear that folks aren’t watching briefings or only just tuned in.(2)>>the network averaged a paltry 585,000 total viewers in primetime, placing CNN all the way back in 17th place among all basic cable. As Baragona notes, the Trump presidency end its end delivered big numbers to CNN. "CNN’s 2020 growth was explosive, especially compared to its two main rivals," he says. "For example, the network’s total day audience in the key demo grew by 90 percent, compared to MSNBC’s 33 percent and Fox News’ 46 percent bump. In primetime, CNN’s key demographic viewership rose by a whopping 102 percent, and its total viewership in those 8 to 11 p.m. hours jumped 83 percent. After starting 2021 as the most-watched cable network, CNN is ending the year with just one timeslot in the Top 25 of all cable news shows -- the one previously occupied by the fired Chris Cuomo.(3)>>MSNBC...MSNBC had a tough time  LAST YEAR with historic ratings declines followed by an evening of its hosts and pundits being ridiculed for a series of election night meltdowns and inaccurate claims.And that’s true, as its 2021 Nielsen ratings were down from recent years’ numbers. Who’s the worst? MSNBC. It stands for Microsoft NBC. Bill Gates ran Microsoft. Therefore we can assume MSNBC pushes a Democrat agenda while pretending to report news. Also, notice that about every 4th commercial is a drug commercial. It matches their viewers: Drug-users. MSNBC ratings (if nothing else) the network devoted ridiculous amounts of time to Trump's rallies both during the 2016 .(3.1)>>I just cannot stand the left vs. right / us vs. them . I blame the 24 h our news cycle, but that’s a long rant not related to this conversation. CNN is the worst offender in the 24 hr propaganda war , it has gone worse since the pandemic exploded . People look at CNN as the ONLY SOURCE , believe everything they are reporting as 'true'. If you lean one way or another, you’ll probably consider your favorite source “real” and everything to the other side as leaning that way. Most will agree with the scale in those directions. For example, if you normally get your news from Fox, then you probably think CNN is left leaning and not centrist at all. But you wouldn’t argue that MSNBC and Slate are more left leaning, and that Occupy is just nuts.(4)>>The Jeff Zucker-led cable news network. But with Trump out, CNN’s ratings crashed and are still sliding, a deep decline that has become even more perilous with Zucker gone and CNN’s mission uncertain. There’s also been almost no internal communication to the company as a whole in the week since Zucker’s departure, with the exception of two cut-and-dry emails Kilar sent to the entire operation: one to say he had accepted Zucker’s resignation. Zucker, it should be noted, played a pivotal role in the development of CNN+, and his departure could not have come at a more inopportune time for the service, which is finalizing such key elements as launch date, pricing and marketing. With Zucker gone,There are many layers to the Zucker saga that one has to peel away before reaching what I see as the crux of the matter: the stunning disconnect between what really matters to the cloistered community of careerist six-figure elites who went to the same Ivy League schools and dine at the same D.C. steakhouses, and what their angry, resentful viewers actually care about. It’s clear that CNN’s on-air stars are seriously confused about the difference between a great boss —(5)>>CNN having its most-watched day since Ted Turner launched the news outlet in 1980.  Turner is a genius , we all know that have to give him credit for the creation of many cable networks . That was way back in 1980, but CNN strayed away from real news , to a more polarized , left political propaganda machine. Ted Turner's creation of a 24/7 news network that would exist on something called cable TV. was terrible! CNN lost all credibility under him. He turned CNN into left-wing tabloid news. Hopefully they can clean house and get rid of all the partisans. They need to get rid of people like Jim Acosta, Brian Stelter, Don Lemon and all the rest of the extreme partisans. I have no problem with a guy like Wolf Blitzer. He is a pro. He shows no bias. That is how news people are supposed to behave. . (6)>>YOU MUST REMEMBER CNN was # 1 news network doing 24hr spin on Trump .I stopped watching CNN and MSNBC in late 2017 because of the non-stop trump coverage. I just couldn't tune in to cable stations that promoted trump lies. I am also doing the same with digital media who saturate their medium with trump articles. I honestly had enough of the entire family and couldn't care less if I never hear trump's voice or idiotic comments ever again. I'm over him.(7)>>soap opera/reality TV show for over a decade with Maddow . "The Rachel Maddow Show" shed at least 20% of viewers across the board during the namesake host’s first week of a temporary hiatus that left the network with a massive hole during a key hour of programing. MSNBC will turn to a rotating cast of hosts to fill in over the next two months. Up first is Ali Velshi, who has regularly sat in for Maddow and other MSNBC hosts. Velshi will fill in for Maddow through Feb. 11.Maddow will remain off the show until April, though she is expected to appear on MSNBC during its coverage of large news events, such as President Joe Biden’s first State of the Union speech, scheduled for March 1.(8)>>...MSNBC worried about post Trump ratings? Barely two months into the post-Trump era, news outlets are indeed losing much of the audience and readership they gained during his chaotic presidency. In other words, journalism’s Trump bump may be giving way to a slump.Only 847,000 viewers stayed with MSNBC during the April to June quarter and even less remained with CNN whose audience shrunk to 654,000. For instance, CNN host Chris Cuomo has recently faced sexual harassment allegations while MSNBC host Joy Reid referred to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as Uncle Clarence and failed to apologise. These and other public scandals have been listed by experts as having a corrosive effect on public opinion and trust in the media organisations.(9)>>PRO WAR CNN.  "Liberal" media works for the Military industrial Complex.  In this narrow context, the real, lasting and graphic human consequences of war are rarely given attention or exposure. Rather, war is considered solely through the antiseptic prism of its domestic political and international geopolitical ramifications. NOW while CNN hires leaders from our military & spy apparatus to present pro- war positions? If you dig deep enough, you see familiar faces with different names over last 15 years filling roles as “experts” and then they’re gone. (10)>>Ukraine Crisis . Real War in #Yemen no coverage , no war in Ukraine every hour on @CNN but @clarissaward conveniently omits Ukraine Pres " WANTS PROOF " of imminent attack , cs it doesn't fit pro war narrative .Interesting how CNN use English "Reporters" to spread Pro-War Lies to Americans.(11)>>American public was weary and wary of war.   Media sources, like CNN, have grown to so influential on public opinion that they can force the different parties at war to focus on certain issues by raising public awareness of the issue.  This has become to be known as “the CNN effect” .  Why does our nation keep trying to kill its way to peace? Why do we continue to send American men and women to die in villages that most Americans have never heard of? Why do we spend trillions of dollars paying for these wars? Why do they continue under progressive internationalists like Barack Obama as well as “America First”  like Donald Trump? And why are they backed by legislators spanning the spectrum from liberal Democrats to conservative Republicans so pro WAR ? (11)>>U.S. legacy media “news” from your daily diet. Watching mainstream news media can be a addiction , far worse than porn. The good guys and the bad guys can often both be guilty of misleading their people with distortions, exaggerations, subjectivity, inaccuracy and even fabrications, in order to receive support and a sense of legitimacy. Cutting off the whole "media" maybe more helpful for the soul.(12)>>How has CNN responded to these various scandals? The ethical no-nos at CNN, furthermore, don’t reflect the ideological corruption alleged in cartoon depictions of CNN. Yes, some anchors have made some statements over the air regarding what is going on , the leaning of "failure" with CNN is 24 hr tabloid fear mongering .
