This should be the
narrative spread wide and far throughout the MSM, but I don't expect it.
Instead we see what Magats want us to see; Hunter Biden this and that Joe Biden this and that, Donald Trump said this or that, Donald Trump did this or that, Donald Trump farted. We also see that BS here, that's OK, I don't click on it. MTG and Gaetz did this, nope, I don't give a shit.
What I don't see is the unbelievable news that the head of the House Oversight committee, James Comer, was playing footsie, was duped, by a Chinese spy, Gal Luft. Gal Luft, so says James Comer, is the Magat whistleblower who has all kinds of supposed dirt on Hunter and Joe Biden. Gal Luft who is an arms dealer, Gal Luft who sells Iranian oil on the black market to China. Gal Luft who is an agent of the Chinese government, not registered, which means that he is a Chinese spy and James Comer has been compromised by a Chinese spy. The Magat Oversight committee has been compromised by a Chinese spy.
There needs to be a fucking investigation of Comer and the oversight committee to determine to what extent they were compromised.
Enough of this BS where Magats can just make unverified shit up and it is plastered across the front pages of the MSM and millions believe it.
Back to your regular programming. Oh, tomorrow, eh! - lean Cannon will decide if the 70 day trial law is really indefinite. We should know tomorrow if Jack Smith has to go over her head once again. That is newsworthy.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised though if Luft and Comer are golfing buddies.

(33,002 posts)They fail to ask the right questions. They fail to hold the Repukes' feet to the fire.
They fail to do the simplest fact-checking and prove that the Repukes are lying about most things.
It's almost like they're doing it intentionally.

DOJ needs to investigate Clarence Thomas, but it won't, domestic right wing oligarchs are running the show, including the MSM.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/gop-house-informant-indicted-allegations-was-agent-china-rcna93633
Federal prosecutors in New York City have indicted a co-director of a Maryland-based think tank on a host of charges stemming from what they allege was his unregistered advocacy of Chinese causes while he was trying to sell weapons on behalf of a Chinese company to a number of foreign countries.
Gal Luft, a dual Israeli and American citizen and a co-director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, was also charged with violating Iranian sanctions and making false statements to federal agents, according to the November indictment, which was unsealed Monday.
.
The proffered definition of spy, unregistered foreign agent, makes he profiteer a spy for Iran and a number of other foreign based companies he made money from listed in the indictment.
Comer is a registered Russian agent, keep the focus, look away from the giant white spy balloon with no transmitters!

(21,555 posts)then he is a spy.

(7,839 posts)American militias are being supplied arms by Mexican gangs, no one is a spy.
Also spy for Iran then by the definition proposed, spying on Israel?? For Israel??
Not logical, hes Israeli, spying for Iran?? And many other nations where companies he deals with are based!
Gal Luft, a dual Israeli and American citizen

(21,555 posts)What is Luft getting paid to do in America? He is getting paid to bring down our democracy by working with Magats who are the minority and want to stay in power. He is sowing distrust in our institutions.
Luft's dealings with Iran involve making profits from a product, oil, illegally, Same with his arms dealings, making money from a product, weapons, illegally.
What product is the Chinese government paying Luft to promote? Luft is getting paid to bring down the president of the United States, Gal Luft is a traitorous spy.

Comer looks foolish enough with the indictments without the dual citizen having to be a spy.

Those mythical migratory swine flying through the air are more certain than the idea of the American media getting the accurate words out in a fair and balanced show of just plain truth.

We have an extreme institutionalist for an AG who won't go near a sitting member of Congress because that would make him appear to be partisan.

(65,558 posts)Aside from Newscorp, all the other media companies have massively broad ownership, with no shareholder with double digit percentages.
In fact, nearly all have 3 to 8 of the largest shareholders as fund management firms with massive holdings under their stewardship and large fractions of that in IRAs & 401k accounts.
The problem in massively media is not "ownership". It's management, especially those in top floor offices.

(6,904 posts)Is undetectable and indeterminate until the gravity of its existence is considered. That may, in my opinion, explain why at least 25% of the results in our elections are inexplicable.
I can accept the proposition that 25-30% of the population may be just stupid enough to vote for a Republican like Trump. I can also accept that way too many don't vote or have any intention to vote. And 50% of all voters will predictably vote Democratic. But that still leaves around 20-25% of which, at least, half will vote Democratic. So, logically, Democrats would win around 60 % of the vote in almost every contest were it not for dark money which is the elemental component that matters.

(6,904 posts)An unfounded rumor about Democratic misbehavior is expected to get total coverage from every corner. Evidence supported facts about Republican outrages receive scant reporting and none of it about the unconnected dots, the low hanging fruit of intelligent conversation.

(43,614 posts)If you read "Ten Days that Shook the World" by the only western journalist reporting inside from the 1917 Revolution, John Reed, you'll learn how the Bolsheviks were selling a revolution of freedom from oppression to the peasants and peasant organizations - army, labor, farming, military. But once they got in power, it was essentially a country run by oligarch-bureaucrats in limousines with vacation dachas with political power, privilege, and money, all answering to the Soviet leader Stalin and his successors.
That the MSM is participating in our current political climate with big lies is quite disturbing. If the masses of citizens can't see the truth and aren't told the truth we are vulnerable to a political system run as a dictatorship. All they need is to capture an election and install their MAGA leader.

was! Both involved Chinese government agents. And such an investigation should be by the FBI AND the House.
At least with Swalwell, there WAS an investigation, he cooperated in that investigation, and was told the House had closed the investigation and did not make a finding of any wrongdoing.
Comer wont be so lucky.
