A Brief Thought: Pyrrhic Victory & the Spoils of “Russiagate”

Editor’s Note: without question, June 2017 has been one of the most politically consequential half-months in the history of what we deceptively continue to call “Western Democracy” and at this point my friends I am in fact so far behind (because of a mild case of writer’s block) that I genuinely fear I’ll be playing catch up until early 2018. I currently have stories on the burner about the Grenfell Tower fire & the GOP baseball practice shooting, our alarming escalation in Syria & what it means for our relationships with Russia, Saudi Arabia & Iran as well as the second half of my breakdown of James Comey’s June 8th testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee that still has a number of important clues to dissect.

In short I am up to my eyeballs in work and despite the fact that I’m hoping to release at least three new articles over the next thirty-six hours, I still feel compelled to ask for your patience while I try to catch up to a world that has undoubtedly gone stark raving mad – I’ve literally spent the past two and a half days just reading, analyzing and collecting sources and frankly there doesn’t seem to be an end to the insanity in site.

As a result today’s Brief Thought is going to be a quick and dirty look at how the Democratic Party’s “Russiagate” conspiracy theory has paid off in spades (for elite Democrats) even though the two core accusations that founded it are still completely unproven and will almost certainly remain so.

 

 

Note: if you’re having trouble reading the above info-graphic, just right click on it and select “view this image” to pop out a larger version; I’m working on writing on shorter summations so that I can use larger text on the memes themselves but it’s definitely still a work in progress at the moment. Please also remember to check out my (extremely brief this time) comments after the admittedly voluminous “Sources” section of this article.

For once I frankly don’t have a whole hell of a lot to add here because everything in the above info-graphic is relatively self evident if you’ve been following the “Russiagate” saga and if you haven’t, reading the forty links included above will help you catch up to speed better than anything I can say here would:

 

All that really leaves us with is the question of whether or not a wild conspiracy theory that even Democrats and their most loyal media allies are beginning to back away from, was ever true at all and the answer to that question is an emphatic no:
