And so, a new era begins.

Awfully convenient how this gets passed in the midst of accusations of Russian election hacking and Pizzagate. Russian hacking, which there is no proof of outside of the CIA's 'secret meeting conclusion', sure did cause Hillary's cronies to launder money for their campaign from Saudi Arabia!

By the way, for those curious, the Intelligence Community acknowledges how easy it would be to detect if Russia actually did engage in 'hacking' email servers. It is a question of tracing network login origins. The only 'hacking' by Russia up for discussion is the manipulation of bots and social engineering on sites like Reddit and Twitter. Those can only go so far in pushing a narrative, and you can bet Twitter and Reddit worked hard to clear Trump-supporting bots.

Not to mention the FBI has officially stated they do not directly suspect Russia to be invovled with the DNC leaks ( http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/01/us/politics/fbi-russia-election-donald-trump.html ).

Not to mention Assange and WikiLeaks said they do not have ties to Russia ( https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/793268442329735168 ) and that the leaker was internal to the DNC ( http://www.inquisitr.com/3682731/julian-assange-has-confirmed-that-the-u-s-government-is-lying-to-the-american-people-about-russia/ ).

Oh, and let's not forget the fact that the CIA just so happens to be responsible for rigging the elections of 3rd world countries all around the globe, such that they become politically and thereby economically dependent on Western banking interests.

But this is all fake news, right?

you're a real truther vash

you do realize 9/11 was already proven to have been orchestrated by the saudi arabian government, who was financially in cahoots with clinton and bush, right?

the rest of the 9/11 conspiracy nonsense is intentional fluff to distract from the bombshell that was the redacted 9/11 commission pages that, as we now know, literally spell out saudi arabia's direct governmental relations to al qaeda, osama, and the 9/11 plot.

just to reiterate, that is the same saudi arabian govt that poured hundreds of millions into clinton's 2016 campaign

hey, did you know the two russian "compounds" that got closed down were facilities used by diplomats, and we have 2 in russia as well? and in response, Russia is closing them and sending our diplomats home! haha, wow, what a coincidence! and the expelling of diplomats in this fashion is a clear violation of the Vienna Convention, but that sounds made up, haha!

im not sure how you can conceive this differently than the government funding the media it prefers, as well as effectively labeling and choosing what it deems "propaganda" for the american public, but hey, let's not bother investigating further. only a dirty commie would do that

Lokey, a former paid Zero Hedge writer who left the website in 2016 over disagreements in editorial direction, characterizes the site's political content as "disingenuous," summarizing its political stances as "Russia=good. Obama=idiot. Bashar al-Assad=benevolent leader. John Kerry=dunce. Vladimir Putin=greatest leader in the history of statecraft."[1]

Then again that article was published by Bloomberg, which has a direct interest in crushing sites like Zero Hedge, so who knows!!

I'm not sure if you get it Orly, but the sarcastic comments are meant to illustrate the point that almost everyone does not care at all.

Everyone is laughing along with you, as you savagely punish Internet user Orly by showing him how thoughtless and vapid you are.
