The Mueller worship never ceases to amaze me. This is a man who was key to spreading the lies about WMD in Iraq that led to the most disastrous war of the 21st century, who horribly bungled the (still unsolved) anthrax investigation, leading to the suicides of multiple people he wrongly accused of being responsible, and oversaw Bush's construction of the surveillance state. No matter how much you hate Trump or think he is guilty of a crime, you should keep in mind that Mueller has been an incompetent agent of the police state for decades. [this video]

A lot of left wing Americans seemingly threw out their ability to question once the DNC started making claims that Russia was responsible for Trump. They trust these people hands down, without realizing that Mueller was instrumental in lying about the Iraq WMD's [1]. While I'm glad massive fraud charges are being brought up on Trump's friends & cabinet, I'm hesitant to not seriously question anything about foreign influence from the same people who lied us into the Iraq war.

Sometimes "atrocities" should be disbelieved, though. Consider the most recent Syrian "nerve gas attacks". Politicians said they were "sure", launched airstrikes, pulled the remaining diplomats from the region. Then the only actually trustworthy body, OPCW, released the report in which it said, I quote: "no organophosphorus nerve agents or their degradation products were detected" (don't believe me? Google the exact quote). If sarin were actually used, those degradation products would be at detectable levels for many years. Chlorine residue _was_ found, but the position of the bodies on the scene is inconsistent with chlorine poisoning, suggesting that the bodies might have been moved to sug

State propaganda psyops. Here's Mueller lying to the world to justify a war: [this video] Dirty tricks and psyops. Fooled entire nations, they just need people to swallow it down and they maintain power.

Well I'm sure bob mueller would know a thing or two about disinformation given how he participated in the worst hoax in recent US history. >As director Tennant has pointed out, secretary Powell presented evidence last week that Baghdad has failed to disarm its weapons of mass destruction, and willfully attempting to evade and deceive the international community. Our particular concern is that Saddam Hussein may supply terrorists with biological, chemical, or radiological material [this video] Anyways I might care more about Seth Rich "conspiracy theories" if anybody had bothered to investigate what happened to him instead of chalking it up as a "robbery gone wrong" (in which nothing of value was
