The publication of the Republican House Committee memo and reports of other documents increasingly suggest not only a “Russiagate” without Russia but also something darker: The “collusion” may not have been in the White House or the Kremlin.

Media figures who exposed illegal surveillance, manufactured intelligence, and other abuses in the Trump-Russia investigation almost always paid a price

With rare exceptions, this headline could be applied to all the mainstream media in the U.S. today.

The report by Special Counsel John Durham makes clear beyond a shred of doubt that the Russia Hoax was the most atrocious weaponization of our government in American history. It was a crime like no other.

The latest investigation into the charges that Donald Trump’s campaign worked in concert with the Russian government exposes a cynical collaboration between Trump opponents and the FBI.

New investigation should be opened that examines pivotal role played by the Agency in scandal that was used to mobilize liberal support for regime change in Russia and war in Ukraine.

As I have noted previously, the Russiagate saga, which I and others have described as a hoax, is intimately tied to a vicious element of Russphobia that is integral to mainstream US and western culture. Russophobia created a receptive popular audience for mis/disinformation, one readily manipulable by propagandists.
