How the Mainstream Media Keeps Russiagate Alive

NOVANEWS Reuters’ use of ‘but’ and ‘may’ perpetuate the Russiagate narrative. The New York Times simply asserts it as undeniable. House Oversight Committee member Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., speaks to the media during a break in a closed hearing on the Trump Russia probe in Washington, Aug. 28, 2018. Pablo Martinez Monsivais | AP By Ian Berman WASHINGTON — After Paul Manafort was convicted and Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to various charges not related to Russian interference in the 2016 elections, the mainstream media still keeps the issue alive with disingenuous assertions. In a Reuters commentary, “The messy meaning of the Manafort and Cohen cases,” Peter Apps reviews the two convictions of Trump’s former campaign manager and lawyer/fixer, each a close advisor in Trump’s ...

Russiagate Conceals Nazi regime Meddling and Coming War with Iran

NOVANEWS Russiagate Conceals Israeli Meddling and Coming War with Iran By Max Parry Global Research Note to readers: please click the share buttons above Since taking office a year and a half ago, the allegations of ‘collusion’ between U.S. President Donald Trump’s election campaign and the Russian government have buried nearly all other substantive issues in regards to his administration. This hasn’t been limited to marginalizing reportage of destructive domestic legislation or the escalation of endless war abroad. It has successfully diverted attention away from other foreign governments shaping U.S. policy and elections. The media has even downplayed Trump’s sycophantic behavior towards other heads of state in favor of their pathological obsession with his percei...

Russiagate: A CIA Concocted Hoax. Trump Knows It.

NOVANEWS By Stephen Lendman Global Research Note to readers: please click the share buttons above No Russian interference in America’s political process occurred in 2016, earlier, or is being cooked up for the nation’s November midterm elections. Trump knows it and said so in Helsinki. When asked if he holds Russia accountable for anything, he said: “I hold both countries responsible (for dismal bilateral relations). I think that the United States has been foolish. I think we’ve all been foolish…And I think we’re all to blame.” Regarding election meddling, he said: “There was no collusion at all. Everybody knows it. And people are being brought out to the fore. So far that I know, virtually none of it related to the campaign. And they’re going to have to try really hard to find ...

Making Excuses for Russiagate

NOVANEWS By Daniel Lazare | Consortium News The best evidence that Russia-gate is sinking beneath the waves is the way those pushing the pseudo-scandal are now busily covering their tracks. The Guardian complains that “as the inquiry has expanded and dominated the news agenda over the last year, the real issues of people’s lives are in danger of being drowned out by obsessive cable television coverage of the Russia investigation” – as if the Guardian’s own coverage hasn’t been every bit as obsessive as anything CNN has come up with. The Washington Post, second to none when it comes to painting Putin as a real-life Lord Voldemort, now says that Special counsel Robert Mueller “faces a particular challenge maintaining the confidence of the citizenry” as his investigation enters its second y...

Past a point of no return: “Russiagate” and the reorientation of U.S. imperialism

NOVANEWS By Brian Becker In a seismic strategy shift, US now racing to prepare for major power confrontation with Russia and China. Pictured: U.S., UK and Georgian troops in "Noble Partner" war exercises, one of US Army Europe events in 40 countries, May 2016. The following is an edited version of a talk given by Brian Becker on March 25, 2018. Becker is a member of the Central Committee of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. What I want to talk about is to identify where we are right now in this political process. It is our belief in the PSL Central Committee that we have now passed a point of no return with respect to the “Russiagate” controversy. It is not going to go away, it is going to expand and deepen, and it has a profound implication for U.S. politics and for global po...

Russiagate, the new McCarthyism

NOVANEWS By Gloria La Riva Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, separated by heavy wire screen as they leave U.S. Court House after being found guilty by jury. Photo by Roger Higgins, photographer from "New York World-Telegram and the Sun" [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons This article is based on a speech about Russiagate given by Gloria La Riva, a member of the Central Committee of Party for Socialism and Liberation. When we characterize “Russiagate” as the new McCarthyism, a new Cold War, it is no exaggeration. But what was McCarthyism? Beginning in the 1940s, there was an offensive by U.S. imperialism to counter, and eventually overthrow, the Soviet Union and socialist camp. At home, it was an equally aggressive offensive against the working class, against organized labor, against...

Intel Committee Rejects Basic Underpinning of Russiagate

NOVANEWS By Ray McGovern | Consortium News Let’s try to make this simple: The basic rationale behind charges that Russian President Vladimir Putin interfered in the 2016 U.S. election to help candidate Donald Trump rests, of course, on the assumption that Moscow preferred Trump to Hillary Clinton. But that is wrong to assume, says the House Intelligence Committee, which has announced that it does not concur with “Putin’s supposed preference for candidate Trump.” So, the House Intelligence Committee Republican majority, which has been pouring over the same evidence used by the “handpicked analysts” from just the CIA, FBI, and NSA to prepare the rump Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) of Jan. 6, 2017, finds the major premise of the ICA unpersuasive. The committee’s “Initial Findings” ...

The Russiagate Stakes Are Extreme

NOVANEWS By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts Global Research The Republicans’ delay in releasing the summary of the House Intelligence Committee’s Russiagate investigation is giving weight to the media presstitutes’ claim that the report is not being released, because it is a hack attempt at a Trump cover-up that is not believable. Only Republicans are stupid enough to put themselves in such a situation. Readers ask me why the summary memo is not released if it is real. There must be some reasons besides the alleged “stupidity” of Republicans. Yes, that is so. Among the many reasons that might be blocking release are: Republicans are very national security conscious. They don’t want to provide precedents for the release of classified information. Many Republican congressional di...

Russiagate Turns on Its Originators

NOVANEWS By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts Global Research Russiagate originated in a conspiracy between the military/security complex, the Clinton-controlled Democratic National Committee, and the liberal/progressive/left. The goal of the military/security complex is to protect its out-sized budget and power by preventing President Trump from normalizing relations with Russia. Hillary and the DNC want to explain away their election loss by blaming a Trump/Putin conspiracy to steal the election. The liberal/progressive/left want Trump driven from office. As the presstitutes are aligned with the military/security complex, Hillary and the DNC, and the liberal/progressive/left, the Russiagate orchestration is a powerful conspiracy against the president of the United States and the “deplor...
