Russian Return

"Disinformation" is back:
the last time the intelligence community asserted something was Russian misinformation, the main scream media instantly jumped to their bidding to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop; they were just as anxious to push the pee tape and the Alfa Bank email story. All of which were indeed disinformation — directed against Trump. I'm not generally one to fall for conspiracy theories. Among other things, it's hard to tell a conspiracy from simply a bunch of people of the same mindset. Trotsky called them poputchik, "one who travels the same path," a term that became common in English as "fellow traveller." It doesn't quite apply here since poputchik meant someone in agreement with the Party's aims, but not a Party member, and these are mainly Party members — Democrat this time, but see what I did there? — who are pushing this. The point is that if you have a bunch of people with the same goals and similar intentions, they can look co-ordinated.
It's still always Russia, Russia, Russia...
