For years, the US government-military-media complex has relied on the ‘propaganda model’ in order to systematically suppress and distort facts about its overseas affairs, and to promote irrational fears of its perceived overseas enemies. This same instrument for overseas wars is now being deployed to undermine the current US government.

With every passing day, it gets worse. A new psychological disorder has swept through the halls of mainstream media, think tanks and academia. It’s called Putin-Trump Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTTSD), and it is spreading rapidly across every inch of the American political landscape.
After all the obvious lessons of 2016, the Democratic Party establishment is still doubling down on the tactic of identity politics, still waving its fingers at deplorable Americans.
Ever since the votes were tallied in November 2016, the US mainstream establishment and its loyal subjects have been gripped with an acute case of tyrannophobia, believing the life as they knew in the liberal bastion of America (and the world) was about to end and that they were all duty-bound to mount what they all privately referred to as “The Resistance” – the last refuge of good citizens dedicated to opposing Trump.
Yesterday, the US Department of Justice indicted another 12 ‘mystery Russians’, said to be “military intelligence agents” who, according to the US Establishment, had somehow attempted to influence the 2016 US presidential election, which supposedly helped Donald Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton – or so the conspiracy theory goes…
The US Senate Intelligence Committee released a report on the findings of the intelligence community on an investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the US presidential election of 2016.
The Senate Intelligence Committee upheld the conclusion of the intelligence community that Russia developed a “clear preference” for candidate Donald Trump in the 2016 election and sought to help him win the White House.
As this hopelessly open-ended investigation rolls on, many are quick to point out the litany of indictments in its wake. The problem, however, is nothing has actually been proven on the remit of collusion. It’s still an epic fail – many in media and government have staked their careers on it.
It’s been nearly two years since the Democratic Party and the US mainstream media began drifting out its infamous “Russiagate” narrative – an elaborate conspiracy theory which claimed that Moscow had hacked emails from the DNC, John Podesta and gave those to Wikileaks, as well as colluding with incoming Trump campaign team to secure his narrow victory over Hillary Clinton in that election.
There have been a number of developments in the endless inquiry into possible collusion between the Russian government and Donald Trump to manipulate perceptions and voting relating to the two presidential candidates in the November 2016 election. In particular, it has been alleged that the Russians were, with the connivance of some in the Trump team, able to obtain information damaging to Hillary Clinton while also misusing social media to send a message critical of the Democratic Party candidate.
