New revelations about the fake Russiagate scandal continue to vindicate Consortium News‘ reporting beginning nine years ago that broke the myth apart.
The late Robert Parry, founder of Consortium News.
As early as Aug. 9, 2016, Robert Parry, the late founding editor of this website, sussed out the origins of what would become the mythological monster of Russiagate, which seem to require a fusillade of silver bullets to slay.
In an article that day entitled, “Hillary Clinton’s Turn to McCarthyism,” Parry described what was happening before the term Russiagate was even coined. He wrote:
“The irony of Hillary Clinton’s campaign impugning the patriotism of Donald Trump and others who object to a new Cold War with Russia is that President George H.W. Bush employed similar smear tactics against Bill Clinton in 1992 by suggesting that the Arkansas governor was a Kremlin mole.”
Parry was then joined by several other writers doing original work for Consortium News to take apart the fiction of Russiagate: Ray McGovern, Gareth Porter, Patrick Lawrence, Daniel Lazare and Joe Lauria among them. Below is a list of just some of the most consequential CN stories that blew up this story.
The new revelations by Tulsi Gabbard have served to confirm and vindicate nearly a decade of Consortium News reporting. The revelations are discussed here by ex-C.I.A. analyst Ray McGovern and ex-NSA Technical Director Bill Binney in CN Live!‘s latest show.
Here is a partial archive of about 100 Russiagate articles from 2016, and a list of numerous CN Live! shows that helped uncover the real scandal over the fictitious one.

Mr. Parry and CN were absolutely invaluable during the 2016-’17 time period when the dangerous Russophobic excrement of the mass media was flowing fast and heavy. Invaluable!
When I was 18 I lost my right to vote .
Because of that I did not care about politics and felt like an outsider .
I accepted that .
As I got older my right was restored and still did not vote for many years .
In the last few cycles I did vote but concluded it was a waste except I was hopeful about health care obamNah had been initiating .
I did not vote in 24 because I could not stand either candidate .
Best Vote I never made knowing I had that choice as well .
I am of belief that dem/rep are no different .
I tell people that the claim by djt that he has a mandate , lol , is only because no one wanted Special k .
Whatever ! , I did not vote and have no say , some do say.
Those I know who wanted djt don’t like what I argue but do listen to my take on why I could not tolerate him .
I accept their choice but said we’ll talk again in 6 months and see . getting close
I felt djt would win regardless considering the dopes the dems ran would be useless , was I right ?
My sentiments were djt would be gone for good in 4 years as well as k.
I will suffer that if it is what it takes , I felt .
How much damage and horseshit could happen in 4 years ?
Was I wrong and do I care ? No and yes .
I come late to the game , a work in progress , politically and historically , Yes , but not stupid .
I feel worth less now than when my worth was less , if that makes any sense .
I may wait for a possible 3rd party if I vote again .
Comes to mind :
Hillary and djt are freinds and enemies , like a marriage of convienience is to dems and reps .

What a joke . Forgive my naivete , hope my jokes are more informed and say more than I can convey .
I worked hard and on myself , my wife , my fenced in lane led me to greener patures , I have come close to killing for my daughter . I love strange ?
Prayers of those and mine were heard , I have beaten my cancer and lost my fear .
Back to work with my painful carpal tunnel hands .
AI can do good . I am a witness .
I like Bill and understand I once looked into a database for correlations , lines , spheres , points and circles through equations and what remained I saved and searched to see what it was about .
The joke is :

Thank you CN for a place to whisper and as a watchman when I shout .
I will watch your live again to help myself uderstand .
Jefferson and Hamilton flipped a coin to see which one of these fellows would lead the democrats and which one would lead the whigs, later renamed, the republicans. Kind of shows you how much valuie they placed on the illusion of a two party system. Not much has changed since then as you have already discovered, but what to do about it remains unknown.
We’ve reached the point years ago when people need to organize to protect their own interests and that of those currently being genocided and otherwise blown to bits by this system. It’s past time to bring out the pitchfoks and the tar and feathers like many did back during Shay’s Rebellion. One reason we don’t organize is fear of the secret police that spy on our every move. Understandable. I get it. But I also get that doing nothing will only makes matters worse for those who come after us. We had a chance in 1975, but too many of my peers puncked out and went disco. I’m still pissed about that.
Question is, how can we organize in such a way that the organizers don’t get charged with a crime and make that trip up the creek without a paddle. For many of us, it wouldn’t be the first time, but still, we must begin somewhere.
BTW. Congress is in recess so many of these prostitues will be in our towns and cities over the next few weeks. I’m unsure what we can use to buy them, since we know they are for sale, and maybe we should consider the Godfather deal of the day. I’m not sure. I’m also old, poor and out of shape, but I am open for suggestions.
