Laugh at the Notion the Russians are Spreading Their Lies

    Truth's banner has never been so important, not for the United States. It is under assault as never before. There have been times people have questioned the free press. The study of the public's confidence in the press would be an enlightening one. Call it coincidence -- for whether it is, we do not know -- but I would not be surprised to find a decline in trust of the free press shifting in somewhere back in the days of the old Soviet Union. And, going wild just in these recent years.

   We have known all along the communists are into disinformation, propaganda. From the Cold War and before, they have long been its exponents. 

   And, they have become its experts. We speak of trade wars. No nation exports more disinformation than the Russians. Of all the trade deficits we have, none are more one-sided than this one. 

   Would you deny it? Would you suggest otherwise? If we told you Robert Mueller sat on Congress's witness stand and said that even as they were discussing the issues, the Russians were spreading their disinformation -- if we told you our intelligence agencies have warned us like this, would you still deny it?

   They have become the experts of the world, both in cybersecurity and disinformation. Believe otherwise only at the peril of our nation. Laugh at the notion they are destroying us even as they continue to destroy us.
