    One of my perennial bug-bears today is how our political classes and media organisations spin, fabricate, set narratives and engage in plain old fashioned lying instead of reporting news impartially.

    This really restricts the ability of one and all to be able to gather accurate information to make educated analysis and judgements about our world. And, of course, this is the reason why this change in reporting news has occurred; keeping us dizzy and confused is the name of the game. This is how control is achieved and maintained.

    Yes indeed for the simple reason that it is highly likely it won't be Russian collusion (the core reason for the investigation) that will bring Trump down but his "financial activities regarding Deutsche Bank" which really had nothing to do with election meddling.

    I also believe this anti-Russian "vibe" have been hijacked by those who wish to use it to push its own interests, such as to claim resources and markets for resources for American Companies.

    Much of the conflict between Russia and the US I see as your run of the mill spying activities (which include cyber, media and social media activities) and the US simply were outplayed, as usual their reaction is over the top.
