It appears The Atlantic used Trump grumbling out of
context to villainize him with a made-up unsubstantiated story á la Christopher
Steele-style fabricated dossier which smeared Trump. OF NOTE to me: I find it
interesting that Trump has begun a poll surge even with a Leftist poll with questions
designed to skew the polls negatively against Trump. Then suddenly – a
story from 2018 manifests making Trump to wear mud. IT SMACKS OF FAKE NEWS
LIES!
I heard even Fox News stand with Jennifer Griffin
story in which she also cites ANONYMOUS sources as credible. Obamagate [Obamagate/Spygate is
remarkably documented and yet quite unsurprisingly ignored by the Leftist MSM.
The triple asterisks (***) below highlight the lies to bring down President
Trump] and Ukrainegate (multiple
detailed Ukrainegate documentary videos) show when “anonymous”
is sworn under oath, the story mysteriously disappears in a puff of smoke. Here
are quite a few stories questioning the reliability of “anonymous sources”. AND
if you are a voter with a brain, you should question the reliability of a story
allegedly occurring in 2018 becoming news in election year 2020.
*** The Atlantic hit piece is reminiscent of these

Anatomy of A(nother) Fake Scandal
The Atlantic does it Again
September 6, 2020
(H/T: Carla at worldnewschat@googlegroups.com)
The Atlantic published a tale based on anonymous sources
that the President referred to veterans who had lost their lives in battles as
“ suckers” and losers” and refused to go to a French cemetery honoring WWI
American veterans because he feared his hair would be mussed. The
magazine is now majority owned by Steve Jobs’s very rich widow, Laurene,
who contributed $500,000 to the Biden campaign and who seems to have reshaped
it as the Biden sleazy propaganda arm .
It previously published a pro-defund the police article --
supposedly a firsthand account of witnessing a police officer shoot an unarmed
youngster for ignoring a basketball sign-in sheet -- which, as the extensive Federalist
investigation showed, was utter poppycock.
While the Atlantic was the ringleader, the
usual media wizards copied and pasted the unsupported claims by Jeffrey
Goldberg and megaphoned them,
Sean Davis of the Federalist noted the series of fake
scandals promoted by the same journalists “who bought and peddled
the Iraq WMD hoax, the Rolling Stone UVA rape hoax, the Russian
collusion hoax, the Covington Kids hoax, the Kavanaugh hoax, and the
latest Atlantic hoax.” Immediately a “Vote Vets” slickly
produced ad repeating the charges hit the airwaves
Real reporters took a closer look. Mollie Hemingway said the
fast pickup was suspicious:
@MZHemingway
Replying to @tomselliott
Either that is a stunning and record-setting turn-around for a genuine ad and resulting ad buy ... or a media group is blatantly collaborating with a political campaign operation
Replying to @tomselliott
Either that is a stunning and record-setting turn-around for a genuine ad and resulting ad buy ... or a media group is blatantly collaborating with a political campaign operation
J.E. Dyer rather conclusively nailed the blatant collaboration:
A mere 24 hours after the story was
published at Atlantic, the Democratic fundraising outfit ActBlue is
soliciting donations via the façade of the leftist group VoteVets. (In
fact, the tweet with the VoteVets video was posted at 9:04 AM EDT on 4
September, substantially less than 24 hours after the first archive of
the Atlantic post at Wayback, which shows an Atlantic website
time stamp of 5:32 PM EDT on 3 September.) [snip] This video was quite
obviously not just thrown together, uncued (and overnight!), in the space of
less than 24 hours. This had to be in the works beforehand.
Which means, from the sentient being’s
analytical perspective that a bunch of people other than Jeffrey Goldberg knew
what he was going to publish on 3 September 2020. Not just any people
either, but a network of PAC activists and fundraisers for the Democratic
Party.
As regards Mr. Goldberg and his
story, there seem to be two likely scenarios. One is that he shared the
findings of his diligent journalism with Democratic operatives before he
published the story.
The other is that this was a
packaged story supplied to him by one of the leftist media “war rooms” that now
concoct so much of the outline copy, and so many of the talking points, for the
visible front-men and women of the mainstream media.
Hovering his cursor over the video clip he saw a notice
“Visit secure.actblue.com“ Act Blue, of course, is a Democrat fundraising arm.
It’s pure nonsense from the party to the “media war room.”
Not a single person with the President on that trip, not
even John Bolton, no ally of the President, confirms this story on the record,
and not a single anonymous source has come forward to confirm it either.
Indeed, those with the President on that trip utterly deny
it. And, of course, if he had said what the anonymous sources said he did, I
can’t imagine this is the first we’d have heard of it.
You have to be a dope to fall for the claim that a president
who has spent so much time praising our troops, raising their salaries,
visiting the wounded and honoring dead soldiers and their families would ever
say such a thing. On the other hand, please bear in mind, that the
DNC (whose titular head now is Joe Biden) gave a prime convention speaking
spot to John F. Kerry, whose political career began with
him disparaging the soldiers and vets in the very worst way
possible, calling them war criminals who engaged in horrendous acts in Vietnam.
It looks as though this is just a way to milk more money out
of the idiots who fell for the earlier scandals. Lynn Chu thinks the vets are
not buying it:
A lot of outraged military guys
called in to radio shows today saying that the Obama administration treated the
military with undisguised contempt and that the difference between those 8
years and these 4 is night and day. I think anyone sensible knows this is a
cheesy lie. Like the Kavanagh lies.
Sharyl Attkisson describes the matter as standard
political scandalmongering.
As Richard Poe reminds us, this is an old Democrat trick,
which General George McClellan used when he ran against Lincoln in 1864 and
accused him of disrespecting the Union dead. McClellan used the same false report on Lincoln.
It didn’t work for McClellan and it won’t work for Biden,
who’s reduced to having a handful of citizens reading pre-prepared questions to
him while he reads (poorly) off his teleprompter the pre-prepared answers.
Someone compared it to Johnny Carson’s Carnac the Magnificent act where the
answer preceded Carnac’s (Carson’s) divining the question. Once in a while
reporters even get to question him, and they put on a pitiful performance,
treating the candidate like an idiot child and asking only the dumbest softball
questions, like Ed O’Keefe of CBS news asking Biden why he wasn’t even more
angry at Trump.
Covering for Biden and Pelosi’s Gaffes
The President’s most significant achievements are ignored or
buried deep in other trivial media accounts. His approval rating is back at the
pre-COVID 52%. Employment is up, beating all
expectations.
A new Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
report released at 8:30 AM, revealed stunningly positive news on the state of
the jobs market: the economy added 1.4 million jobs in August. But there’s
bigger news: the unemployment rate dropped nearly 2 percentage points
from 10.2 percent in June to an astonishing 8.4 percent. That’s massively
better than economists surveyed by Refinitiv, who were expecting a drop to
9.8 percent.
If the Nobel Peace Prize actually honored someone who
furthered world peace, Trump would win it hands down.
He brokered a peace deal between Kosovo and Serbia, which
ends two decades of conflict. He has induced the Gulf States to recognize
Israel and in so doing deflated both the Iranians and the Palestinians
responsible for so much of the carnage in the Middle East. So stupid
or biased is the press corps they ignore these momentous successful shifts in
U.S. foreign policy. Ambassador Richard Grenell was rightfully dismissive of the
White House press corps’ performance this week, roasting them to
their face, “I don’t know if you could find [Kosovo and Serbia] on a
map. This is atrocious… maybe it’s too complicated of an issue for you all.”
For those of you wondering why this story was orchestrated
now and not, as usual, in October, there are several explanations: Biden’s
crashing in the polls, the Democrats' Speaker of the House is on the hair salon
rocks, the job numbers are stunning, and there is a desire to influence early
voters as quickly as possible before their Potemkin candidate spends more time
out of the basement.
Sharyl Attkisson reminds us in a
tweet that “Scheduled scandals will be rolled out regularly between now &
Nov. 3. The media, politicos, propagandists pretend it’s organic & pretend
to be aghast. Most of America understands what’s going on.”
Fasten your seatbelts, gird your loins. With nothing but a
demented, weak candidate at the top of their ticket and no agenda any normal
voter could support, this -- well-orchestrated scandals based on pure fakery
-- is what they are left with.

FAKE NEWS: Atlantic Story of Trump
Calling War Dead “Losers” Disproven Through FOIA Documents of France Trip
The trip to a World War I cemetery was cancelled on
account of the weather.
Sep 4, 2020
(H/T NWO Report)
A sensational, borderline ridiculous story reported by the
Atlantic on Thursday alleging that President Trump called American war dead
buried in France “losers” appears to be disproven through FOIA documents which
reveal a trip to a World War I graveyard was cancelled because of inclement
weather.
Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic made the accusation, citing
no more than four completely anonymous individuals who claimed to be familiar
with the situation. None of the supposedly outraged whistleblowers had the
integrity to publicly identify themselves.
The FOIA’ed emails demonstrate quite clearly that President
Trump’s helicopter transport to the Belleau Wood site was grounded by the
weather. Being the President, Trump cannot simply get into a motorcade and
drive down a highway in a foreign country for a great distance without
considerable advance preparation on the part of law enforcement.
Goldberg’s report had supposedly quoted these anonymous
government officials, who allegedly claimed that President Trump declined to
visit the American Cemetery of the Belleau Wood battleground, the site of a
battle between American and German soldiers in World War I.
According to the fake news report, Trump had declined to
visit the graveyard out of fear that his hair would become disheveled, calling
the war dead who are buried there “losers.” Seems a lot more like liberal
fanfiction, akin to the laughably fake Steele Dossier that accused President
Trump of urinating on prostitutes in Moscow.
These fake news hacks and tremendously dishonest, and pay
little to no mind to the most basic standards of journalistic integrity.

Donald Trump: ‘The Atlantic’ Story ‘Reminds Me of the
Dirty Dossier’ John McCain Pushed
Suspicious Trump - Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
5 Sep 2020
President Donald Trump continued reacting Saturday to the
Atlantic story claiming he referred to American fallen soldiers as
“suckers” and “losers.”
“This reminds me of the Dirty Dossier, which was pushed hard
by John McCain, and then with a thud turned out to be a total fraud,” Trump
wrote on Twitter.
The president was referring to the infamous Christopher
Steele dossier of salacious, unproven allegations about Trump that were paid
for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Journalists and top-level political figures passed the
dossier around during the 2016 election and released it in full after Trump was
elected president.
Trump said the Atlantic article was the product of “a
slimeball reporter, maybe working with disgruntled people” to “make up” a bad
story.
Current and former officials continue waging war against the
article, which was based entirely on anonymous sources. Trump also
criticized the story in a press conference on Friday.
“There is nobody that feels more strongly about our
soldiers, our wounded warriors, our soldiers that died in war than I do,” he
said. “It’s a hoax, just like the fake dossier was a hoax, just like the
“Russia, Russia, Russia” was a hoax. It was a total hoax.”
The president urged his supporters to keep fighting the
left’s narrative.
“The Radical Far Left is VICIOUS, they will do or say
anything to win,” Trump wrote. “But they won’t, we will WIN, and have four
great years!”:
....This reminds me of the Dirty Dossier, which was pushed hard by John McCain, & then with a thud turned out to be a total fraud. So many other scams also. The Radical Far Left is VICIOUS, they will do or say anything to win. But they won’t, we will WIN, & have four great years!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2020
