										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People choose what they want to hear, especially when it bolsters what they want to believe. The media has a responsibility to put it all out there so The People can make up their own minds. But when the media chooses sides, they can disseminate and omit whatever they want talked about or kept out of conversations.</p>
<p>The latest is a <a href="http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/61057" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">June 19, 2029 interview Oliver Stone</a> conducted with Russian president Vladimir Putin. The interview transcript was released by the Russian government. The American media has seen fit to only release a short segment off the interview; the part regarding the 2016 presidential election&#8230;.</p>

<p>With few exceptions, the media is selectively picking from the part of the interview where Stone and Putin discuss the 2016 elections, and how the Russians helped Donald Trump steal from Hillary Clinton. You&#8217;d figure that would be the subject of headlines&#8230;.</p>

So recently, you know Russia has been obviously accused and accused over and over again of interference in the 2016 election. As far as I know there is no proof, it has not turned up. But now in the US there has been an investigation going on about Ukraine’s interference in the election. It seems that it was a very confusing situation, and [Ukrainian President Petro] Poroshenko seems to have been very strongly pro-Clinton, anti-Trump.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Vladimir Putin</strong>: Yes, this is no secret.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Do you think there was interference?</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: I do not think that this could be interpreted as interference by Ukraine. But it is perfectly obvious that Ukrainian oligarchs gave money to Trump’s opponents. I do not know whether they did this by themselves or with the knowledge of the authorities.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Where they giving information to the Clinton campaign?</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: I do not know. I am being honest. I will not speak about what I do not know. I have enough problems of my own. They assumed Mrs Clinton would win and did everything to show loyalty to the future US administration. That is nothing special. They wanted the future President to have a good opinion of them. This is why they allowed themselves to make unflattering statements about Trump and supported the Democrats in every possible way. This is no secret at all. They acted almost in public.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: You do not want to go any further on that because you do not have any information?</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: You know, this would be inappropriate on my part. If I said something more specific, I would have to put some documents, some papers on the table.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: You understand that it has huge implications because Mr Trump would be very grateful?</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong><a style="color: #808080;" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone4-2019.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4887" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone4-2019-150x99.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="99" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone4-2019-150x99.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone4-2019-768x507.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone4-2019-500x330.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone4-2019-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone4-2019-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone4-2019.jpg 780w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a></strong></span></h3>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s where most of the American media begins to pull their quotes&#8230;.</strong></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: I did not interfere then, I do not want to interfere now, and I am not going to interfere in the future.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: But that is a noble motive. Unfortunately, the world has degenerated in these two years, with all this backbiting and accusations, dirty fighting. Anyway…</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: There are no rules at all. It is no holds barred.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Well, you have rules. You say no interference.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: I have principles.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Ok. But you seem to have rules based on those principles.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: Well, yes.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Ok. Well, you are fighting with one hand tied behind your back.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: Why? You mean, because of these principles?</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Yes. If you knew something about the election, it would tilt the balance in a very weird way.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: I think this is simply unrealistic. I have said so many times.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: What is unrealistic?</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: To change anything. If you want to return to US elections again – look, it is a huge country, a huge nation with its own problems, with its own views on what is good and what is bad, and with an understanding that in the past few years, say ten years, nothing has changed for the better for the middle class despite the enormous growth of prosperity for the ruling class and the wealthy. This is a fact that Trump’s election team understood. He understood this himself and made the most of it.</span></h3>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;">No matter what our bloggers – or whoever’s job it is to comment on the internet – might say about the situation in the US, this could not have played a decisive role. It is sheer nonsense. But our sympathies were with him because he said he wanted to restore normal relations with Russia. What is bad about that? Of course, we can only welcome this position.</span></h3>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong><a style="color: #808080;" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone2-2019.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4885" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone2-2019-150x96.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="96" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone2-2019-150x96.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone2-2019-768x493.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone2-2019-500x321.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone2-2019.jpg 780w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a></strong></span></h3>
<p>The following is what you <strong>won&#8217;t</strong> find too many American media outlets repeating, if at all&#8230; for reasons that are obvious.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Apparently, it excited the Clinton people a lot. The Clinton campaign accumulated the “Steele dossier.” They paid for it. It came from strange sources, the whole “Steele dossier” issue. Some of it comes from Ukraine. They also went out of their way, it seems to me, with the CIA, with Mr Brennan, John Brennan, and with Clapper, James Clapper, and Comey of the FBI. They all seem to have gotten involved, all intelligence agencies, in an anti-Trump way.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: They had levers inside the government, but there is nothing like that here. They applied administrative pressure. It always gives an advantage in countries such as the USA, some countries of Western Europe, about 2 percent on average, at a minimum.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Well, you are not disagreeing. You are saying that it was quite possible that there was an attempt to prevent Donald Trump from coming into office with a soft, I will call it a soft coup d’état?</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: In the USA?</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Yes.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: It is still going on.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: A coup d’état is planned by people who have power inside.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: No, I do not mean that. I mean lack of respect for the will of the voters. I think it was unprecedented in the history of the United States.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: What was unprecedented?</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: It was the first time the losing side does not want to admit defeat and does not respect the will of the voters.</span></h3>
<p>Putin&#8217;s last few sentences pretty much sums up why we&#8217;re STILL where we&#8217;re at today.</p>
<p>Seriously, why would Vladimir Putin need to meddle in our process and sow seeds of discord when our own Democrat Party <em>(led by sore-loser Hillary Democrats, their media, and those higher up in the federal government)</em> is doing more than any potential enemy of the United States could dream of.</p>
<p>And for lot cheaper than a paid Facebook ad.</p>

The media, for three-plus years, repeated the notion that Donald Trump &#8220;colluded&#8221; with the Russians to interfere with the 2016 presidential election and deny Hillary Clinton the victory that was obviously hers to lose.</p>
<p>And now that the next shoe to drop will be the Inspector General of the United States Department of Justice&#8217;s report on misconduct by pro-Hillary Clinton &#8220;career&#8221; Justice Department and intelligence officials that sought to frame candidate-and-now President Trump that will surely result in criminal referrals, the colluding media is now looking for a way to say that they weren&#8217;t knowingly spreading misinformation and/or Democrat talking points.</p>
<p>These uber-professionals in the media&#8230; were fooled.</p>
<p class="css-1ygdjhk evys1bk0" style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/NYTimes.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1954" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/NYTimes-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" /></a>The 35-page dossier, spiced up with tales of prostitutes and spies, sketched out a hair-raising story more than two years ago. Russian intelligence had used bribery and blackmail to try to turn Donald J. Trump into a source and ally, it said, and the Kremlin was running some Trump campaign aides practically as agents.</span></p>
<p class="css-1ygdjhk evys1bk0" style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">But the release on Thursday of</span> <a class="css-1g7m0tk" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/18/us/politics/the-mueller-report-excerpts.html?module=inline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the report by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III</a></strong><span style="color: #808080;"><a style="color: #808080;" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/18/us/politics/the-mueller-report-excerpts.html?module=inline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">,</a><strong> underscored what had grown clearer for months — that while many Trump aides had welcomed contacts with the Russians, some of the most sensational claims in the dossier appeared to be false, and others were impossible to prove.</strong> Mr. Mueller’s report contained over a dozen passing references to the document’s claims but no overall assessment of why so much did not check out.</span><br />

<p>Really? Could it be the partisans on Mueller&#8217;s team wanted the liberal base to believe it and Democrats on the Hill and in the media to repeat it 24/7 on cable news and major news publications?</p>
<p class="css-1ygdjhk evys1bk0" style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hillary-DNC.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-1958 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hillary-DNC-150x81.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="81" /></a>Now the dossier —</span> <a class="css-1g7m0tk" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/24/us/politics/clinton-dnc-russia-dossier.html?module=inline">financed by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee</a><span style="color: #808080;">, and compiled by the former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele — is likely to face new, possibly harsh scrutiny from multiple inquiries.</span></strong></p>
<p>Yes, the New York Times just printed something MOST of the Democrat base still doesn&#8217;t know <em>(thanks to the misdirections by the cable news megaphones)</em> and by doing so, has discreetly thrown he under the bus for future road-kill consumption by carnivorous insect and mammal alike.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ComeyBrennanClapper.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-256 size-medium" title="Comey, Brennan and Clapper" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ComeyBrennanClapper-150x87.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="87" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ComeyBrennanClapper-150x87.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ComeyBrennanClapper-768x448.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ComeyBrennanClapper-500x292.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ComeyBrennanClapper.jpg 885w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Attorney General William Barr has</span> <a class="css-1g7m0tk" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/10/us/politics/william-barr-jeffrey-rosen-hearings.html?module=inline">said he will review the F.B.I.’s conduct</a> <span style="color: #808080;">in the Russia investigation. His remark that <strong>there was “spying” on the Trump campaign</strong> has already encouraged Republican accusations of misconduct.</span></p>
<p>The fact AG Barr made that now-infamous implied allegation, it&#8217;s clear he wouldn&#8217;t have gone there if he didn&#8217;t know something. Something that&#8217;s now scaring the shit out of senior DOJ-FBI-CIA officials and the willing below them who dutifully carried out their mission to save the nation from Donald Trump.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>While The New York Times and many other news organizations published little about the document’s unverified claims, social media partisans and television commentators discussed them almost daily over the past two years. The dossier tantalized Mr. Trump’s opponents with a worst-case account of the president’s conduct.</strong> And for those trying to make sense of the Trump-Russia saga, the dossier infused the quest for understanding with urgency.</span></p>

There would be Clintonistas on cable news vociferously defending on any panel slot available, any time of day or night, and hundreds of op ed contributions dropped from every willing publication pushing back at the details of such claims and the author(s) would be made an international pariah.</p>
<p>BUT&#8230; none of that ever happened.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">After Mr. Trump emerged as the likely nominee, Fusion GPS kept working but turned to a new source of funding: the law firm representing the Clinton campaign, Perkins Coie. Noticing in May 2016 the Trump campaign’s unexpected affinity for Russia, <strong>Fusion hired Mr. Steele, a veteran of Britain’s MI6 intelligence agency, to dig deeper. Mr. Steele has told acquaintances that he did not know the ultimate client was the Clinton campaign.</strong></span></p>
<p>Bullshit.</p>

This is also around the time that <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2018/11/09/hillarys-campaign-knew-she-had-no-chance-devastating-internals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hillary Clinton internals showed the sickly, shrieking harpy wasn&#8217;t going to win the election</a>, thus the need for an insurance policy to damage Trump down the stretch or even better, once he won cast real doubt on his legitimacy to serve as president.</p>
<p class="css-1ygdjhk evys1bk0" style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Daniel Hoffman, a former C.I.A. officer who served in Moscow, said he had long suspected the dossier was contaminated by Russian fabrications. The goal, he said, would be to deepen American divisions and blur the line between truth and falsehood.</strong></span></p>
<p>#FakeNews.</p>
<p class="css-1ygdjhk evys1bk0" style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>“How many times have hearings on Capitol Hill used information from the dossier?” Mr. Hoffman said. “How much damage has it already caused?”</strong></span></p>
<p>The damage sadly, but expectedly, was done.</p>

As we&#8217;ve been told hundreds of collective times during his eight years in office was how smart Obama is. If that&#8217;s the case either he knew and that was bad, or he had a bunch of rogue law enforcement officials conducting a silent coup behind his back, and the fact he didn&#8217;t know that was happening was worse.</p>
<p>Again, the ONLY reason we know as much as we know is because Hillary lost. Had she won the presidency, federal government agencies would have seemingly perfected their weaponization against Republicans, it would have happen again anytime a Democrat candidate felt threatened, and the American people would never know an unelected select few would have more power over us than we&#8217;d ever imagine.</p>
<p>And let&#8217;s not forget what else this will reveal, right <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt2cZI3AIIg">Great Britain</a>?</p>
