Chris Hayes: Why Yes, I Suppose There Is a Conspiratorial Subculture On the Left That Blames Everything on Russia, and I Suppose I've Been a Leader of That Conspiratorial Subculture.
But You Know Who's Really to Blame Here? Russia

Interesting!

[Q:] I don’t want to put MSNBC in the same category as certain other cable-news networks at all, but do you think that cable news generally and MSNBC included have played some role in fostering a climate where paranoia about the other side, or hyper-partisanship, or conspiracy theorizing, can find a common ground?

I think it's actually fairly endemic, and part of human-information processing at all times. I don't know. I think tha'’s often the way that we make sense of the world. If you go back and you look at cointelpro stuff, and essentially the kind of combination of dirty tricks and surveillance that the F.B.I. was using on Black Panthers and others, one of the effects was that it drove them nuts. They all started going a little crazy and getting super paranoid, but that was part of the point of it. So I also don't want to take the agency away from the actual actor here, which is the Russian government doing these things in 2016 that really had very profound, tangible effects, and have produced some amount of craziness and paranoia. I don't want to lose sight of their agency in producing that state of affairs. I think that, in some ways, was the seed that has flowered into whatever we’re dealing with now.


But there’s also a certain brand of #ResistanceDemocrat who, from watching MSNBC, or from certain things on Twitter, can get into a more conspiratorial mindset.

There is absolutely a subculture of conspiratorial thinking among Democrats, or the broad anti-Trump coalition. I would a hundred per cent concede that. That is borne of a lot of things. I think, again, I do think--I'm just speaking for myself--and this is . . . I don't know. The world's confusing, and I don't feel like I know all the answers. What I try to do, to the best of my ability--I know that I fail all the time--is to try to maintain the best habits of mind, if that makes sense.

Notice that when the Priestly Caste detects a conspiracy theory pushed by people they disapprove of, there is no nuance about whether conspiracy theories are bad or signs of stupidity. They're in full Finger Wagging Mode.

But whenever the left starts pushing conspiracy theories -- which is most of the time, actually, from 9/11 Truthers to Russia Truthers -- suddenly people like Chris Hayes say that such thinking is "endemic" to the human condition, just a fundamental part of our information-processing functions, really, and that he doesn't want to judge because "the world is a confusing place and I'm not sure I have all the answers," and also, most of all, It's Russia's Fault Anyway.

13 And usually when they are caught red-handed, they shift to "I guess now the Left has something in common with the Right!" and start talking endlessly about the "thing" happening on the Right (which is usually a lie, an exaggeration, or actually isn't on the Right).

Posted by: vmom 2020

Just the unlucky opportunity?

I read something this morning that he intended to look over all the intelligence agencies that had so badly performed under Obama (and let's face it, Bush also).

Their incompetence and malfeasance couldn't be exposed.
And people from the Obama Regime had a grudge with him because he started to turn on them.

A lot of this has only been made possible because Admiral Mike Rogers (running NSA during the latter Obama Regime years) told Donald Trump about a lot of things as he was leaving in 2016. Rogers as head of NSA started to refuse to cooperate with the Obama Regime, and they would have gone after him too, if Hillary had been elected.

And to be compelling, it has to be plausible and have a reasonable motive.

Is there any reason why Putin would prefer Trump to Hillary, who had a long habit of giving America's enemies and rivals everything they wanted on a silver platter?

The Obama admin was spying on EVERYBODY in violation of the 4th amendment. (remember Edward Snowden?)
So the Jan 2017 meeting was to come up with a "cover" for all the illegal spying. Since you can't spy on Americans, they pretended the Americans they were spying on were foreign assets. (even, ludicrously, Trump)
that's it in a nutshell.

Exactly.

And with an audit he would have found what mike Roger's discovered....they were spying on political opponents and using subcontractors to do it.

96 >>A lot of this has only been made possible because Admiral Mike Rogers (running NSA during the latter Obama Regime years) told Donald Trump about a lot of things as he was leaving in 2016. Rogers as head of NSA started to refuse to cooperate with the Obama Regime, and they would have gone after him too, if Hillary had been elected.

They tried to get Obama to fire him in late 2016. Obama decided it wasn't worth it given his administration was coming to an end.

A big reason they took down Flynn was because as Trump's NSA he would have to know about the entire Russia investigation that was still going on. And then they want after Sessions to get him to recuse because with only days left in his term Obama signed and EO to change the order of succession at the DOJ. If the AG was unable to perform his duties then the next in command would be the US Attorney in DC, Channing Phillips. Phillips is a longtime friend of Eric Holder's.

On the day Sessions was sworn in, Trump signed his own EO that changed the order of succession back to the DAG. At the time the acting AG was Dana Boente but shortly thereafter Rod Rosenstein was sworn in.

My guess? Luck and timing. Flynn was hated by the Obama admin well before Trump came on to the scene. He disapproved of the Iran deal. He disapproved of weaponizing the IC. He wanted to root out corruption and political gladhanding in the IC.

When Flynn went to work with the enemy (Trump) they had to ratchet it up, but they were working on him well in advance.

But there is a difference in kind between crazy kooky conspiracy theories and stating, in all seriousness, that the President of the United States is a Russian agent.

Rush was going off today about how the Republicans have known for, what, a year, that Comey and Clapper and Rice, etc., etc. were saying one thing in public and then testifying that there was no evidence of anything Russia Russia Russia and yet, apart from Nunes and Jordan, not one Republican ever got in their faces and said "You're lying."

As Rush kept pointing out, you damn well better believe the Dems would have leaked that testimony if the parties had been reversed.

172 Why was Gen Flynn target #1?

Posted by: vmom 2020


1. He was incoming National Security Advisor for Trump, and knew all about the Intelligence Community's 8 years of illegal spying on political opponents at the behest of Obama;

2. He was going to conduct an audit of the CIA/NSA and find out where all their money was going.

3. On January 4, 2017, he was in a briefing by the IC of president-elect Trump and Flynn specifically asked the IC guys what was up with Steele's information and the FBI's use of that in 2016.

4. The very next day, January 5, 2017, Obama, Biden, Clapper, Brennan, Comey, McCabe and Yates all got together in the Oval Office and Obama mentioned going after Flynn on a bogus Logan Act charge for making a call to Ambassador Kislyak of Russia (which was perfectly in keeping with normal practice for an incoming NSA).

5. That same day, January 5, 2017, Steele wiped all of his computers of anything to do with his ridiculous "Dossier".

Barack Obama: Guilty of Framing a Three Star General to Cover Up the Illegal Spying Operation Conducted Against Trump.

Penalty: Obama is permanently banned from ever appearing in public, speaking in public, writing anything in public, or having any input in any way in American life, whether in person, via mail, video, or electronically.

I rest my case, Yer Honer.

And common sense. The more a thing is known, established, and understood, the more they feel a need to do the opposite.



It's really driven by a hatred for their weak and/or absent fathers.
They have substituted society and conventional wisdom, which they see
the father as a representative of, and are driven to tear it down and
replace it with literally anything else, no matter how objectively
awful.



Their entire hatred of Western civilization is just arrested
development. In their minds, they are a six year old screaming "I hate
you, daddy!".

No proof it was the Wuhan Flu but it had basically the same symptoms, and my cousin who was visiting him regularly came down with the same crud, but is fine now.

I think if you looked at actual non-padded, full numbers the nursing homes would be ground zero for most of the deaths in the country.

Obama's Bloodiest Scandal Reemerges As Mexico Demands Apology For Operation Fast And Furious

-
1) About damn time.

2) They're demanding an apology from Trump for something Obozo and the Chinless Wonder did?

Trump should apologize explaining that Obama was and is a criminal, Holder was and is a criminal, Hillary! was and is a criminal and they decided that Mexican lives was a small price to pay for destroying the second amendment and the constitution generally.

Posted by: Curmudgeon at May 11, 2020 03:53 PM (XsgXy)

Agreed.

When I've been down in the past, listening to Osteen's messages have been helpful to me on occasion. He's a good speaker, with a very seeker-friendly demeanor. I've known several people who've gotten a lot out of his messages as well.

That being said, he'd never be my pastor. He wants to be so friendly to the non-Christian he'll gladly water down the Word to be accepted. There's a place in the Kingdom for baby Christians who want that feel-good message to get through the door, but anybody who's gone through a rough patch in their 'walk' will need to dig into the Word more than Osteen would allow.

I'm not sure how popular a fire-and-brimstone message would be on major broadcast TV. I doubt that it what the masses want, or else we would have seen a lot more of them over the years.

the worst recent governor we had (other than dimwit Wolf) was Ridge tho. so he kind of soured us on R governors. he was AWFUL, total RINO

The reason I agree with you is that in DC, it's usually a lot easier to stop something than it is to do something.

so many war stories. Ridge was awful and the type of Repbub I can't stand. There is no reason to go into Murtha as that is over with. I think highly of that state, I hope they get it right. We need them and if we don't have them, it is going to be a hard slog. I understand where the issue lies. Sure it has to be an absurd turnout, and also lawyers who are not meek in "Philly.

you go too far sir. But as a Protestant, I do respect a lot of those ideas. We can learn from each other, no doubt there. I once said my favorite book was James. It is back and forth but for sure we can learn from each other.

402 You know that JFK didn't die. They just dyed his skin black and put him in a nursing home in Nacogdoches so that bum Johnson could take over.

By the way, my NEW favorite conspiracy theory is that someone is going to do ballistics tests on Peter Strozk's service weapon, and the bullets are going to match those found in Seth Rich's back.

403 I'm still going with my favorite "conspiracy" here. Kennedy was accidentally shot by the Secret Service agent in the car behind his, and the Deep State then went into total cover-up mode. Including having Oswald shot, and then killing off various witnesses to this that or the other.

That's pretty good.

Best conspiracy theory ever: the international financier class wanted to establish the Federal Reserve System, but got opposition from major US industrialists, namely JJ Astor and Guggenheim.

So they sank the Titanic to kill them off and clear the road.

No way. Even if the FBI had him whacked (and why would they? Clinton or the DNC, sure - but why the FBI?), you can be sure important people like Strozk don't do their own wet work.

406 Russia literally did NOTHING of any significance in 2016. Not a single person voted based on information from Russia. NOT.ONE.

The lies peddled DAILY on CNN and MSNBC does more to undermine the integrity of the press and degrade the political landscape in this country than all the collective works of Russia over the last 30 years.

The idea that Russia is to blame for ANYTHING in the political landscape of the United States is buffoonery.

Please keep in mind, that we are no longer talking about the imperialist USSR. That ended 30 years ago. Gone, kaput, over. Russia works now, exclusively, in their own best interests that, primarily occur in their own geopolitical orbit.

Flynn set them up...
It seems like an improbable reach but given the bizarre nature of these events can anything be ruled out of bounds with any certainty?
Adm. Mike Rogers, the head of the NSA, warned Trump about the Trump Tower wiretaps. What else did he say to Trump, and to Flynn? The NSA listens to everything, or so I am told. What if...but, no...how bizarre, how bizarre.

408 Prosperity gospel how else can these grifter preachers buy new mercedes benz;s and rolex watches. You think they can with the widow's mite? TIGHE! Those big mega churches aren't built by the poor. Remember when olsteen didn't want the hurricane refugees in his church. Whats this about a camel passing thru an eye of the needle? One day I was drive in run down part of town and saw the devil sitting on top of a little store front church with a young preacher preaching to a drunk and a prostitute inside. I stop and asked the devil why are you sitting on top of this store front church instead of olsteen's mega church? The devil said Oh I already got them!

409 I've seen a number of independent testing on whether the shots Oswald took and the damage done were possible. All that I've seen seem to think so. Admittedly the Jack Ruby shooting and connections are just too much of a coincidence and out of place for me to say nothing nefarious could have happened.
Posted by: Kilroy wasn't here at May 11, 2020 04:08 PM (EWRow)

My theory is the simplest explanation:

Some political rival or Cold War enemy hired or convinced Oswald to kill JFK.

They then employed a second assassin in the form of Jack Ruby, a less than credible character who wouldn't be believed even if he did spill the beans, to kill the first. They would then be protected - either by a successful coverup or plausible deniability.

The coverup was successful enough that we may never know who the employer was.

I think it might have been LBJ. He was enough of a rat bastard to at least consider it.

Assuming the Warren Commission story is honest - that the terminally ill Jack Ruby wanted to "go out a hero" and thus shot Oswald, I have fancied that ending myself.

Imagine some clearly guilty scum like OJ Simpson walking free from the courthouse, and someone terminally ill coming up and plugging him.

The huge CUOMO KILLED MY MOTHER banner in NYC is getting some media attention.

The man was horrible at his job. More deaths in New York than most
of the rest of the country combined, deliberately seeding the most
vulnerable places with victims, and he's being held up as some kind of
leader??


Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 11, 2020 03:57 PM (KZzsI)

I'm a bit out there on this point, maybe, but I think Cuomo should be prosecuted for manslaughter at least, and possibly in fed court for depriving and conspiracy to deprive civil rights.

There's one thing that was shown in the earliest data on covid and that hasn't changed significantly since, that people 60 and up are disproportionally prone to die from the disease, and to a high degree. That's not based on modeling, that's based on counting actual dead people. There's no excuse for not knowing it and I don't believe any politician who says they don't.

Given that, the decisions of Cuomo to refuse transfer of older covid patients to hospitals (despite plenty of room) and to require they be sent back to nursing homes (which have no resources to deal with them and where their disease will be transmitted to other residents) can only be construed as malevolent.

In short, I think the guy's a mass-murder.
