The Big Fat Compendium Of Russiagate Debunkery
Russiagate
is like a mirage: from a distance it looks like something, but once you
move in for a closer look, there’s nothing there. Nothing. Nothing
solid, nothing substantial, nothing you can point at and say, “Here it
is. This hard evidence justifies saturating the media waves with
obsessive 24/7 coverage, escalating tensions with a nuclear superpower,
stagnating political discourse in America and fanning the flames of a
hysterical, xenophobic McCarthyist feeding frenzy.”
Let
me preface this article by affirming that I am not a Russian
propagandist and I have never received any money from the Russian
government. Due to the aforementioned McCarthyist witch hunt that
obnoxious accusation will inevitably be leveled by more than a few
people as a result of my circulating these arguments, but anyone who
does so is wrong. My loyalty is and always has been to truth and peace,
in that order.
The
other day I asked my social media circles for their very best links,
ideas and arguments countering the anti-Russia sentiment that the
American psyche has been pummeled with relentlessly by establishment
politicians and the corporate mass media,
and the response was overwhelming. There’s no way I can use everything I
was given, but for right now here are 26 solid arguments against the
narrative being promulgated by the American power establishment about
Russia.
