this exploration ends up at the same destination they all do when looking with both eyes open;

Events beginning August 21, 2018, the conviction of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and the guilty plea by Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen, have, despite Trump’s denials, put Russia again under the gun.

Admittedly, nations have always interfered with the internal affairs of each other where vital national interests apply. In America, dozens of nations spent billions of dollars buying influence, buying journalists, even buying not just members of congress, but congress itself. Buying something openly for sale shouldn’t be a crime.

Taking this even further, for Russia to do anything else would be insane. With Israel, China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey controlling so much of America’s government, for Russia to ignore what is going on would be insane. It is common sense that sanctions against Russia enhance the commercial interests of those competing with Russia for trade with Europe and the US.

As the most powerful political element in Washington, the Israel lobby has long sold its influence to the highest bidder. No sanction passes without their approval, no bombing mission, no new law, yes, they are that powerful and more so under Trump. At times they exhibit total control of Washington and even the pro and con on every issue, running both the pro and anti-Trump organizations.

Reporting on Russia gate, as it is called, goes on day after day, always something new, more hacks, more targets, more election rigging or are is it all more fake news? Who controls the news, who really controls the news? Perhaps the news itself rigs elections and spreads rumors, promotes fakery and serves foreign interests as well, let’s take a look.

First of all, we might ask why no one, certainly not anyone in the paid media, noted that “non-state actors” as they are called in intelligence and counter-terrorism, are the big players nowadays. After all, it is the media that creates reality, that defines truth, though that effort has now migrated to Silicon Valley moguls who now hire failed academics and journalists who have set up “truth panels.”

Before that, the fake press reported lies, and any academic who taught otherwise or wrote otherwise was a “conspiracy theorist” and faced loss of tenure, though tenure seldom exists in today’s world of rapidly declining academic standards, in the US at least.

A case study for infiltration of US government by a foreign intelligence service, other than Russia, is easy to find. When Australian Rupert Murdoch and his media empire came to America, they clearly bought House Speaker Newt Gingrich in order to have laws changed.
