Earlier today, Ruptly aired live Wikileaks Editor-in-chief Kristinn Hrafnsson’s press conference addressing the media on a “new, unexpected, criminal case involving Julian Assange”, also joined by the former Consul of Ecuador to London, Fidel Narvaez, and human rights lawyer and barrister Jennifer Robinson.
New leaks reveal a UK-funded program called the EXPOSE Network, which claims to want to “upskill” existing “counter-disinformation” organisations across Europe and beyond by offering money in the form of grants, as well as training – all coordinated under the supervision of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (UK FCO).
Déjà vu 2016: like the surprise election result, President Trump claims another victory over the mainstream media machine and Washington’s political elites – this time laying to rest a two and half year-long political charade and festival of fake news which came to be known as ‘RussiaGate’.

Methodology and Disclaimer: The objective of this article is to offer a critical analysis of the event in question within the current political and social context in the United States. This analysis will attempt to evaluate the crime scene, as well as the mainstream media coverage of the event itself and major political themes which have been attached to the event by the media and political parties in America.
The master plot went something like this: the Russian government interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election with the goal of getting Donald Trump elected. After tens of millions spent, hundreds of interviews, and hundreds of thousands of documents produced – the disgraced former FBI director Robert Mueller could not manage to produce any evidence of ‘Trump-Russia Collusion’ – which was the original remit of his epic witch hunt. As failures go, this one is hard to top.

Here to help the confused observer is a glossary of some of the most frequently used key terms and their true meanings, along with guidance on usages deemed taboo in Western policy-making and media circles.
While the physical battle is waged on the streets of Gaza and the West Bank, there is another equally sinister war being prosecuted right across the western mainstream media – a coordinated effort to whitewash any culpability or crimes being perpetrated daily by a brutal Israeli occupation.
Independent journalist Robert Inlakesh explains how subtle framing by the western mainstream media has radically altered the public perception of Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine. Watch:
NBC News jumped the shark this week, claiming that the Tulsi Gabbard 2020 presidential campaign is somehow supported by a ‘Kremlin propaganda effort.’
The claim is just the latest episode in a two and half year-long campaign of anti-Russian propaganda which has become the standard across the US and UK mainstream media. In the NBC News piece, ‘experts’ claim to have scientific proof that an army suspected ‘Russian accounts’ and ‘Kremlin-linked websites’ are somehow propelling Gabbard’s presidential campaign.
