Fake newsers: John Solomon and Aaron Maté
Let's begin with a great recent tweet...please tell me again how a bunch of lifelong Republicans in the FBI colluded with Ukraine and Hillary to frame Russia and lose her own election so that Trump would win so that then the deep state could take him down because fuck yes that all makes perfect sense to me derpity derp— Jeff Tiedrich (@itsJeffTiedrich) November 16, 2019
This outrageous conspiracy theory is being promulgated by two "journalists" tasked with selling what is basically the same bullshit to different audiences. Both of them have contrived to work for "real" news outlets not associated with the pro-Trump right.
The unwisdom of Solomon. The first of these pseudojournalists is John Solomon, who has been exposed as a conduit for Rudy Giuliani's pal, Lev Parnas -- who is himself a conduit for crime boss Dmitry Firtash, who works with Putin.
If you're interested learning more about Solomon, start your research here. The link goes to the Just Security site, a superb resource which I really must include on my blogroll.
Solomon depicted a second innocent victim of these conspiracies in addition to Trump: Ukrainian oligarch Dimitry Firtash, “a major target of the Soros group.” Firtash — close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian mafia kingpin Semion Mogilevich, and a chief financier of former Ukrainian president Yanukovych — is fighting extradition to avoid U.S. federal charges of bribery and racketeering. Solomon wrote that Robert Mueller’s investigation was attempting to frame Firtash to get “some dirt on Donald Trump,” but that the case against Firtash was “falling apart.” Solomon stated, “The oligarch’s defense team told me that Firtash rejected the deal because he didn’t have credible information or evidence.”Whenever a "journalist" offers evidence-free blather about Soros, you know you're dealing with disinformation. The important point is that Solomon has defended Firtash, a crook who attained power working for Semion Mogilevich, the most brutal gang leader in the history of the modern world.
The State Department labeled the charges in Solomon’s initial article about Yovanovitch “an outright fabrication.” Later, the Ukrainian prosecutor Solomon quoted as his source, Yuri Lutsenko, was dismissed from his position and disavowed Solomon’s reporting, saying that Hunter Biden “did not violate anything” and now said that his statements to Solomon about a do-not-prosecute list were false. Lutsenko is now under criminal investigation for abuse of power. Meanwhile, the effort to extradite Firtash to face corruption charges continues.
A side note about Mogilevich. Among other crimes, Mogilevich runs a prostitution ring which supplies underaged girls to powerful men, who thus become subject to blackmail. (You should not presume that the men know ahead of time that the girls are underaged.) I have long believed that Epstein became rich handling the finances of Mogilevich, Firtash and other oligarch/gangsters -- and that Epstein's girls (at least the ones with eastern European accents) were actually supplied by Mogilevich.
Aaron Maté worked for Democracy Now and is a writer at The Nation, once a proud left-wing institution, now BernieBro central. I consider him the new H.A. Goodman or Cassandra Fairbanks -- a Trumper in disguise, infiltrating the left via the Bernie byway. For the longest time, Maté's main mission in life has been twofold:
1. He poisons lefties against the Mueller probe.
2. Using casuistry and disingenuous argumentation, he assails the established FACT that Russia hacked the Democrats in 2016. Relentlessly -- and in stark contrast to Bernie himself -- Maté has denounced not just the claim of collusion but the very concept of Russian interference.
That's just a conspiracy theory, sayeth Maté.
You may ask: But didn't the entire intelligence community confirm that Russia did it?
Maté has an answer: The entire IC was led astray by Evil John Brennan. That was also the scenario favored by Roger Stone. (Coincidence? Or did the two ever communicate?)
The "Blame Brennan" theory is laid in this lengthy Maté piece for RealClearInvestigations. I suggest that you read it (or at least skim it), though you definitely should not believe it.
That piece offers a very clear glimpse of the William Barr/John Durham disinfo extravaganza that is about to hit. Indeed, I would not be surprised to learn that Barr leaked information to Maté. We now know that Solomon was basically part of the Toensing/diGenova/Parnas "gang." If there's a similar hidden truth about Maté -- and I strongly suspect that there is -- let's hope that it all comes spilling out one of these days.
(Incidentally, there are increasing calls for William Barr's impeachment. Bravo! His recent addresses to the Federalist Society indicate that the guy really is coming unglued.)
Maté's argument makes sense only if you can accept the image of hundreds of people -- in government, journalism and academia -- engaging in a massive conspiracy to defame poor, innocent Vladimir Putin. But that conspiracy theory must never be called a conspiracy theory -- not in Maté's upside-down universe. You know what does deserve that label? The claim that Russia committed cyberwar on behalf of Donald Trump in 2016. Maté scoffs at that idea the way you might scoff at a unicorn sighting on the grassy knoll.
It's all a scam, says Maté. That's the word he uses: Scam.
Never mind the fact that this "scam" has been certified as factual by of the entire U.S. security establishment, by the Mueller team, by Congress, by members of the Trump administration itself, by foreign services, by evidence presented in court, and by God-knows-how-much reporting by real journalists.
Maté thinks that those dozens and dozens of real journalists -- and their editors -- are all part of the conspiracy. Seriously. That's what he thinks:
It is still not clear why the Obama administration, with major media playing along, not only embraced the false Trump-Russia narrative but also used it as a rationale to spy on a presidential campaign and then on a presidency."With major media playing along..." This is Alex Jonesism at its tin foiliest.
The article does not specifically endorse the "Ukraine did it" theory of the DNC hack, but that theory pervades the air like a bad odor. The "Ukraine did it" theory (which is completely absurd and false) is the leading alternative -- pretty much the only alternative -- to the "Russia did it" theory, though we should note that one commonly-heard variant holds that the DNC hacked itself (!!!) with Ukraine's help.
The "Urkaine did it" theory can be traced right back to Russia. In essence, Maté is promoting a Moscow-approved narrative -- a narrative that Trump, Barr and Giuliani seek to buttress. Unless these goons can knock down "Russia did it," this presidency will always lack true legitimacy.
Marcy has spent a fair amount of time sparring with Maté. You may enjoy this thread.
Maté on Flynn. There's a lot to unpack in the above-linked article -- and once you unpack it, you can toss it into the garbage bin, right next to John Solomon's recycled Fir-trash. But I'd like to focus on this bit toward the end:
One early motivation may have been the intelligence community’s broad dislike of Flynn – Trump’s first national security adviser, who was one of the earliest targets of the collusion narrative.Oh, come off it. It wasn't Iran or Syria. This is a ruse to make Flynn seem palatable to lefties.
Flynn had served as Obama’s head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, but fell out of favor by 2014, in part because of his opposition to the Iran nuclear deal and the CIA's arming of anti-Assad militants in Syria. Obama had specifically warned Trump against hiring Flynn.
The truth: Flynn developed an unnervingly close (but probably not sexual) relationship with a Russian woman whom a lot of people consider spookier than Marley. This woman denies any link to the FSB; believe her if you feel so inclined. But even if you do, you have to look at the situation through the eyes of any counterintelligence officer, who would naturally interpret the relationship as -- in all likelihood -- a classic honeytrap.
Counterintelligence does not require courtroom-quality evidence. Reasonable grounds for suspicion are enough to set off the alarm bells.
A longtime critic of the bureaucracy, Flynn earned particular enmity from Brennan’s CIA with an effort to create a new Pentagon spy organization, Foreign Policy reported in 2015.Oh, that's just what we need: Another military-based spy shop, freshly created to promote agendas or theories that the professionals won't take seriously. We saw a few "new Pentagon spy organizations" spring up during the W administration. Working behind the scenes, they promoted fake claims about Saddam Hussein's alleged WMDs. Result: The Iraq War.
When certain writers denounce "the bureaucracy," they mean "Anyone drawing a government check who is not 100 percent loyal to Putin and/or Trump." The word "bureaucracy" now has no other meaning.
