With their Russian collusion conspiracy theory, our partisan mainstream media has finally gone from ignoring, spinning – and occasionally obsessing – over current events, to totally fabricating “news” out of whole cloth. Despite the fact that there is absolutely no proof of any illegal or underhanded dealings between the Trump administration and the Russians – either before or after the election – they are operating under that totalitarian ruse so favored by the Nazis; “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” Hitler’s propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels was merely embellishing Lenin’s shorter observation, “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.”
 
Alan Dershowitz, civil libertarian, and generally beloved by liberals, is on to their game. In this interview with Tucker Carlson, he makes reference to something one of Stalin’s cronies boasted, “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” That’s exactly what the Left and their media hacks are doing with President Trump ~
 

Back in March, Andrew C. McCarthy summed up the progressives’ plot thus far ~

The suspected wrongdoing here is twofold: 1) Russia materially interfered in the election, and 2) Trump, through associates with varying and attenuated connections to his campaign, colluded in the Russian interference. There is no proof that either of these things is true. Yet, the lack of fire does not mean a lack of smoke — of suspicion. It is suspicion, not proven misconduct, that triggers investigations — the point of which is to probe what you suspect.
 
 
Vladimir Putin’s regime attempted to influence the election, just as the Russians and the Soviets before them have always attempted to influence Western elections and policies that are sure to affect their interests. (And, oh by the way, just like Obama attempted to influence Israel’s election a year and a half ago!) And people in Trump’s orbit have business connections to people in Putin’s orbit. The connections of former Trump-campaign manager Paul Manafort to Putin’s puppet party in Ukraine are disturbing; so has been Trump’s indulgent attitude towards Putin, a murderous anti-American dictator.
 
Now, add to this smoke what is truly incendiary in this equation: our politics.
 
From the Democrats’ standpoint, Trump is a grotesque solipsist, dangerously unfit for the presidency. So don’t tell them that Hillary Clinton ran foreign policy for an administration that serially appeased Putin. Don’t remind them that it was Mrs. Clinton’s scandalous e-mails, not John Podesta’s comparatively benign e-mails, that had a real impact on the election. And don’t bother pointing out that, whatever business interests Trump associates may have with Russians, they never managed to rake in piles of cash while paving the way for Russia to acquire 20 percent of U.S. uranium reserves, as did Clinton and her foundation. They are Trump-deranged, and they will hear none of it.

 
As McCarthy emphasizes, lost in this ongoing media circus is the real story that Americans deserve to hear; the Obama Administration undermined national security, illegally “unmasked,” U.S. citizens, and is most probably in violation of the Espionage Act. This intriguing article, primarily about Obama’s fabulist Ben Rhodes, at Flopping Aces is revealing ~

Trump captured the nomination for President in July- exactly when Susan Rice began collecting data on him. The Obama administration had been scooping up data on Trump since 2015. Rice’s data collection spikes when Trump is elected.
 
Now the Obama anti-Trump machine kicks into gear. A torrent of Trump-Russia articles suddenly appear in the media many of which impugn the integrity of Trump and his aides. Democrats suddenly begin screaming about the alleged ties to Russia. It dominates the reports. Innuendo rules while facts are absent.
 
Then in December the Flynn-Kisylak conversation transcript is leaked. Flynn did nothing illegal and yet he was still unmasked and the transcript was leaked. We know that efforts to research into the unmasking were shut down by the President’s lawyer.
 
Then on his way out, Obama relaxes NSA rules so pretty much anyone in government can have access to all of the personal communications of Trump, his family and his aides, virtually guaranteeing someone will leak them to the compliant ventriloquist’s dummies in the media.

 
But the network news doesn’t want the sheeple to pay attention to any of that. Or to Hillary’s sale of U.S. Uranium to the Russians. Or what Obama meant by whispering to Dmitry Medvedev in 2012, “I’ll have more flexibility after the election.” Or to Barack’s ignoring Russia’s 2014 takeover of Crimea. Or to his 2014 exposure of our highest-ranking spy in Afghanistan.
 
Because – hey! Anonymous sources say Trump talked to a Russian in October! Or something.
 
I think it’s the media who should be investigated for maliciously undermining our duly-elected federal government!

 
Back when he was helping ruin Germany, that master of deception, Joseph Goebbels, elaborated further on his propaganda strategy ~

“The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Today’s totalitarian leftists are merely following in the famous fascist’s footsteps.
 
But eventually reality will intrude ~

So now, there is just one very inconvenient problem for the “Russia hacked the election” narrative, the tireless media-Democrat harangue since November 8: Everything of substance that is known to the U.S. government about Russian meddling was already known in those pre-election weeks when Clinton and the Democrats were hailing the legitimacy of the process.
