"The Emails Are Russian" Will Be The Narrative, Regardless Of Facts Or Evidence by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Fight it all you want, but there is nothing you can do. "The emails are Russian" is going to be the official dominant narrative in mainstream political discourse, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Resistance is futile.

Like the Russian hacking narrative, the Trump-Russia collusion narrative, the Russian bounties in Afghanistan narrative, and any other evidence-free framing of events that simultaneously advances pre-planned cold war agendas, is politically convenient for the Democratic party and generates clicks and ratings, the narrative that the New York Post publication of Hunter Bidens emails is a Russian operation is going to be hammered and hammered and hammered until it becomes the mainstream consensus. This will happen regardless of facts and evidence, up to and including rock solid evidence that Hunter Bidens emails were not published as a result of a Russian operation.

Joe Biden - and all of us - SHOULD be furious that media outlets are spreading what is very likely Russian propaganda.

1- I have seen the intel. The mainstreaming of misinformation is Russias 2020 goal. Here is what we know, and why we can not take it lying down.-Chris Murphy October 17, 2020

This is happening.

It is following the same formula all the other fact-free Russia hysteria narratives have followed. The same media tour by pundits and political operatives saying with no evidence but very assertive voices that Russia is most certainly behind this occurrence and we should all be very upset about it.

"To me, this is just classic textbook Soviet Russian tradecraft at work," Russiagate founder and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is heard assuring CNNs audience.

"Joe Biden - and all of us - SHOULD be furious that media outlets are spreading what is very likely Russian propaganda," begins and eight-part thread by Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, who claims the emails are "Kremlin constructed anti-Biden propaganda."

"It is not really surprising at all, this was always the play, but still kind of head-spinning to watch all the players from 2016 run exactly the same hack-leak-smear op in 2020. Even with everyone knowing exactly what is happening this time," tweets MSNBCs Chris Hayes.

"How are you all circling the wagons instead of being embarrassed for peddling Russian ops 18 days before the election. It is not enough that you all have not learned from your atrocious handling of 2016 - you are doubling down," Democratic Party think tanker Neera Tanden tweeted in admonishment of journalists who dare to report on or ask questions about the emails.

Virtually the entirety of the Democratic Party-aligned political-media class has streamlined this narrative of Russian influence into the United States of American consciousness with very little inertia, despite the fact that neither Joe nor Hunter Biden has disputed the authenticity of the emails and despite a complete absence of evidence for Russian involvement in their publication.

This is surely the first time, at least in recent memory, that we have ever seen such a broad consensus within the mass media that it is the civic duty of news reporters to try and influence the outcome of a presidential general election by withholding negative news coverage for one candidate.

There was a lot of fascinated hatred for Donald Trump in 2016, but people still reported on Hillary Clintons various scandals and did not attack one another for doing so.

In 2020 that has changed, and mainstream news reporters have now largely coalesced along the doctrine that they must avoid any reporting which might be detrimental to the Joe Biden campaign.

"Dem Party hacks (and many of their media allies) genuinely believe it is immoral to report on or even discuss stories that reflect poorly on Joe Biden.

In reality, it is the responsibility of journalists to ignore their vapid whining and ask about newsworthy stories, even about Joe Biden," tweeted The Intercepts Glenn Greenwald recently.

"You do not even have to think the Hunter Biden materials constitute some kind of earth-shattering story to be absolutely repulsed at the authoritarian propaganda offensive being waged to discredit them - primarily by journalists who behave like compliant little trained robots," tweeted journalist Michael Tracey.

Last month The Spectators Stephen L Miller described how the consensus formed among the mainstream press since Ms Clintons 2016 loss that it is their moral duty to be uncritical of Donald Trumps opponent.

"For almost four years now, journalists have shamed their colleagues and themselves over what I will call the -but her emails- dilemma," Mr. Miller writes. "Those who reported dutifully on the ill-timed federal investigation into Hillary Clintons private server and spillage of classified information have been cast out and shunted away from the journalist cool kids table.

Focusing so much on what was, at the time, a considerable scandal, has been written off by many in the media as a blunder. They believe their friends and colleagues helped put Donald Trump in the White House by focusing on a nothing-burger of a Ms Clinton scandal when they should have been highlighting Donald Trumps foibles. It is an error no journalist wants to repeat."

lol no. Again no journalist wants to be the "but her emails" journalist and branded a leper by their entire industry. It is that simple.-Stephen L. Miller October 16, 2020

So "the emails are Russian" narrative serves the interests of political convenience, partisan media ratings, and the national security states pre-planned agenda to continue escalating against Russia as part of its slow motion third world war against nations which refuse to bow to United States dictates, and you have got essentially no critical mainstream news coverage putting the breaks on any of it.

This means this narrative is going to become mainstream orthodoxy and treated as an established fact, despite the fact that there is no actual, tangible evidence for it.

Joe Biden could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and the mainstream press would crucify any journalist who so much as tweeted about it. Very little journalism is going into vetting and challenging him, and a great deal of the energy that would normally be doing so is going into ensuring that he slides right into the White House.

If the mainstream news really existed to tell you the truth about what is going on, everyone would know about every questionable decision that Joe Biden has ever made, Russiagate would never have happened, we would all be acutely aware of the fact that powerful forces are pushing us into increasingly aggressive confrontations with two nuclear-armed nations, and Donald Trump would be grilled about Yemen in every press conference.

But the mainstream news does not exist to tell you the truth about the world.

The mainstream news exists to advance the interests of its wealthy owners and the status quo upon which they have built their kingdoms.

That is why it is so very, very important that we find ways to break away from it and share information with each other that is not tainted by corrupt and powerful interests.
