The Soviet Infiltration into our Electorate is EASILY the Biggest story of our lifetime

It's. that. fucking. big.

It doesn't *matter* if the media reported on it or not...they have SHOWN us, for the last 15 years + that they have no interest in truth or facts...they ONLY have an interest in ratings and profit.

Enslaving our free press to popularity bandwagons and corporate greed is a threat to the republic.

It's a threat to our REPRESENTATIVE republic, a word you should remind each and every Soviet Republican who tries to remind you that we are not a democracy.

This is a coup...right in front of our eyes...a coup.

And the ones who enabled it committed TREASON.

We don't need the press. We already don't have them, so it is folly to analyze, or even anticipate their participation. They only exist to hold us to a double standard, and to sell us out for profit and ratings.

Or our grandmothers.

The typical R S T L N E will come out here (Wheel of Fortune reference, the letters they always give you) and decry that we need to *submit* something to them. We need to run around and *submit* links and stats for them to scoff at and demand we hone our message.

We need to lick our wounds.

They committed TREASON...and the rhetoric pretending otherwise is nothing more than a desperate attempt to distract from the TRUTH.

Don't let them frame the fucking narrative.

Don't toe the Soviet Republican line.

In an R S T L N E world, be an exclamation point.

Fri Dec 30, 2016, 11:40 AM
Dec 2016

It's old in the sense that the symptoms of a coup have been readily visible for several months, perhaps for over a year. In other forums, I've been screaming the word. At times, it was like shouting into an empty canyon. Now, we're finally seeing others come around to use the same kind of vernacular.

It's new in the sense that a groundswell of citizens are recognizing this undeniable fact that a coup has taken place, and that an emerging narrative is now bumping up against the MSM's narrative of denial. The "coup" frame will grow as the MSM loses even more of its power and credibility.

Let's make no mistake about this. The Coup is orchestrated by Russia's Putin. He's done a brilliant job of hiding his expansionist agenda behind an international effort to undermine democratic/republican institutions in the US and Europe. The "Globalist-Nationalist" so-called struggle is a false narrative, and Stephen Bannon knows it. It's all about eliminating NATO and Russian opposition to expansionism. Putin loves the "Globalist-Nationalist" frame because he can do his work behind that curtain.

I am sure this was all reported prior to the election, but along with DIS-information was also a saturation of MASS information.

Putin is quite possibly the Adolf Hitler of the 21st Century (Trump is a demagogue that appeals to the worst of humankind but he just doesn't have the brainpower to fully step into Hitler's shoes, Vladmir does), like Hitler, he seeks to destroy the liberal, pluralistic democratic order that he sees as standing in his way of his imperial ethno-nationalist ambitions of conquest.

Not true: Ron Baiman's paper gives mathematical basis to point to election engineering of some sort which may include hacking. There were 15 out of 15 'swing state' shifts toward Trump in exit poll predictions vs actual vote count.
That would happen about once in 130,000 years assuming equal chance for poll vs vote count shift in either of 2 directions!

The Russian quest for empire has nothing to do with the Soviet Union. We are in deep shit, but this is a result of Russia turning capitalist. America was safer when the USSR existed. Now we are seeing what the unbridled need to expand is going to do.

Attempting to paint the GOP as reverse Commies won't work, because that system is gone in Russia, and we have other fish to fry. What you are trying to do isn't going to stick. The GOP know the USSR is gone and that's why they feel more than comfortable doing what they are doing.

The Soviet Union/Soviet Bloc was the Russian Empire by another name, pretending to be something different, when it in fact embodied the same values and the same drives, under a patina of ideological mumbo jumbo.

If they're looking to start expanding to their old borders again, under a man who was KGB for decades, I doubt that the fundamental motives will have changed much.

I absolutely will paint the G☭P as reverse commies. They are aiding and abetting the Soviet Union by another name, to meddle in our internal politics, and we should paint them Red for it.

...because it defines the sort of world we're living in. The Cold War was more ideological than national, so to speak...we were opposed to Communism, and not Russia per se. Our relations with Russia were good before 1917. Stalin, according to most recent scholarship, was more "ideological" in his thinking than many people thought at the time, as opposed to just being another Russian despot. If we're in a pre-1914 period of Great Power rivalries, as opposed to a 1945-89 era of ideological rivalries, that's an important thing to understand. However--having said that--I agree 100% with Ladeeybug that this is the biggest political story of our time, and the greatest scandal in our history. Trump is a *traitor*. And I greatly respect her attention and devotion to this issue here at DU...

This is completely appropriate framing for the people who claimed to be "protecting us from the Soviet menace" all those decades, and are now in bed with, and fellating that same menace.

So get used to things sounding stupid, because I reiterate:


As we continue to fight and to tell the TRUTH about those bastards
We must first address a pretty important distinction:

When President Truman, whom I paraphrased in the title to this OP, said, "Sometimes, you just have to tell the truth about those bastards", I am sure that a large majority of the motherfuckers to whom he referred were *actually* *not* *really* *bastards* in that they were probably born within wedlock.

But it isn't the fucking *POINT*, is it?

I say this because there will be MUCH more "Soviet Donald" bantered about...MUCH more KGOP, and YES, we *know*

But it isn't the fucking *POINT*, is it?

Stay strong DU...18 days until we're under water. Keep telling the fucking truth about those bastards. And thumb your fucking nose WILLFULLY at any bastard motherfucker trying to tell you they were born in wedlock. Because it isn't the fucking *POINT*, and we God damn well know it.

Because there are people WHO HAVE AN INTEREST in seeing this story fade.

Don't expect the news to cover it...they are culpable.

They orchestrated a COUP right in front of us and people are shrugging their shoulders.

If what you are saying is true do you really think Clinton and Carter would be party to it? I don't unless they are OK with it.

If this is as big a fucking deal as you say it is, no candidate who knows about it would be giving tacit approval to the outcome of the election by attending the inauguration. You should contact Carter and the Clinton's ASAP and let them know what is really going on.

There has been so much mis- and non- information, I am still trying to figure out more specifically what events you are referring to.


Email hacks?
Voter registration databases?
