You can’t have it both ways. You can’t say that Russia somehow enabled Donald Trump to be our president, and then totally ignore the idea that if Russia has been doing this for years

More Fake News? Ya don’t say...!



There are many stories flying around these days that are utterly fantastic. Problem is, though, many of them are not true or at least not entirely true. We must be alert to them and be ready to take them apart to see what is true and what is not. However, many people are not adept at this and they are the ones that are targeted by the fake news stories. The big story now is the ongoing discussion of Russia “meddling” in American politics. There is no proof of it happening in the past presidential election, though. This has been established by several organizational leaders who should know. However, their testimony and statements that there is no proof of Russia meddling is being dangled in the Media as if the proof is not there to ascertain what they all know to be true or, as they say, “Everyone knows it’s happening.”

The Media ignores the Obama meddling as if it never happened

Let’s take this as more than an episode related to the most recent election. Keep in mind, then, that there are many who say, “It’s nothing new...” and “It’s been going on for decades.” As an aside, what about Obama when he was president and was found to be attempting to influence elections in other countries? To the Left, that’s old history, not presently pertinent as long as there is a chance to wound or cut short the Trump presidency. The Media ignores the Obama meddling as if it never happened. Back to the idea that the Left is promoting but is an oft-stated assumption, for the most part, that Russia’s attempts to influence American elections has been going on for a long time, even decades. This is an important concept used by the Left to promote the idea that it’s nothing new to the Russians: “They’ve always done it.” Is this true? The Russians have been involved in American elections for a long time or even decades? We’ve heard it enough to not resist the idea which is one of the teachings of propaganda: “Repeat a lie continuously until people stop resisting it and accept it.” OK, so let’s assume that Russia has been doing this for a long, long time. Maybe not forever, as some might say, but for decades. Stop and think about this for a moment... What about the Clinton and Obama presidencies? Sure, there was some entanglement between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Russia regarding facilitating the sale of about one-fourth of America’s stockpile of strategic Uranium, but let’s ignore that for a moment.

if Russia has been doing this for years, then she also must have facilitated the elections of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama

If we accept that Russia has been involved and attempting to influence American politics for a long time or decades, what did Russia do to get Bill Clinton elected? And Barack Obama; what did Russia do to get him into office? Is this something Democrats admit or are keen on hiding? If Russia influenced the elections of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, is it something the Left would prefer to ignore? The answer to this is obvious. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t say that Russia somehow enabled Donald Trump to be our president and that this is what Russia has done for years and then totally ignore the idea that if Russia has been doing this for years, then she also must have facilitated the elections of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Nope, you cannot ignore this — unless you are a Democrat and are dedicated to taking down Donald Trump. Then all rules are set aside along with the truth.
