    This is out of the CIA playbook, and they are likely to be the largest users of this tactic. Stop buying into their deep state Russia villification program. The Brits are probably second, with Israel tied, and Russia and China in third place. In the IC, operations against the US match the above as well.

Our own deep state (in the Peter Dale Scott sense of the term) is the most active in deception and manipulation of the American people, and it's high time they realized it. I could go further, but it delves into "conspiracy theory" territory that most people don't like to hear.
