What stood out for me from this article:⬇️⬇️

“We better hope that all the social security numbers and tax info that Muskrat just uploaded from SSA and IRS from every single American citizen’s account doesn’t end up in Putin’s files. Whoever has that info can potentially wipe out every dime we have and can potentially fund a world takeover."

Anyone else worried⁉️⁉️

As soon as I saw the story about Trump being a Russian asset I sent it to the New York Times and ask them to get back to me. They did not. I looked it up on Snopes and I got the most wishy-washy answer. A sort of a yes but no probably I don't know kind of answer. So I can only surprise the story is being squashed from somewhere up high. Meaning that it's true

For starters, Nance has been a vocal proponent of the discredited, debunked “Russia! Russia!” Campaign.

It has NOT been discredited. That is just something Donald Trump & his allies (fellow liars) keep repeating and repeating and repeating. He faithfully follows the Goebbels playbook: lie, lie, lie, keep lying — and then lie some more— and then the lie will be believed.

Several books have been published, as well as some excellent articles on this fact. Sadly, too few people pay attention, or care to open up books aside from the comic variety!!

The Snopes answer was not wishy washy to this scientist, they said there was no clear evidence. https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/02/26/trump-kgb-agent-krasnov/

I get your point and I can't argue with it. Where I was coming from, I was on a search was to see which news media Outlets had yanked the story. Some had it one day and some did not have it the next. Snopes had what they had, which in retrospect appears to be fairly balanced. Although IMO there's many a person in prison on less evidence

I keep hearing/reading about these allegations, but so far no one has been able to do more than raise suspicions. It does make sense in many ways, but until there is firm proof of the charges, none of the legacy media will run with it. (They'll be sued for billions, for starters.) I like to believe that there are more journalists and detective types working on this, and if true, it will be made known. But that may never happen, alas, or not happen in time.

The legacy media didn't seem to have a problem running with all the stupid allegations about Hunter Biden's laptop until it became part of the national conversation. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm so angry lately that the birth certificate and the email server completely slipped my mind...but yeah, THOSE got plenty of traction despite no evidence. In the case of Krasnov, there's probably more evidence than most allegations yet it's still crickets from the legacy lmdia.

Two things. 1) Elizabeth said “Snopes.com...confirmed the felon is an ASSET” - they did not. 2) A rigorous analysis by a well-known ex-CIA agent concludes that it is possible that he is an asset, but not likely.

Fantastic job!! Keep it up, they won't be able to cover it up too much longer. My big question is WHY?? WHY wouldn't the main stream media want the US citizens to know that we are all pawns in this nasty game, are they afraid, have they been enablers all along...there's a lot of explaining we are entitled to know. BRAVO Closer to the Edge!!

Velveeta Voldemort has been a Russian agent since him and his father were in the Genovese crime family. The Russian Mafia moved in and booted the Italians out. Voldemort and his father stayed in and profited handsomely. He's always been a Russian. Putin owns him lock, stock and barrel.

The Russian boogeyman and the Hitler trope has been invoked so many times on the American population with extremely dubious and thin evidence that even if true, will have difficulty gaining traction. The counter to Trump was to focus less on attacking him and far more on building up the sensible centre. Democrats made a grave error by raiding his residence. He was fading away and then all of a sudden, back in the spotlight. Radio silence is Trump’s kryptonite and the Dems did the opposite. Not only that, they alienated the centre by tacking far left in too many areas. But here we are. My advice, your countrymen are not your enemy but your government most certainly is and that’s from both sides. Dems are beholden to China. MAGA is beholden to Russia and sadly those two counties are on the same side. We the people are the collateral damage in the culture war.

Democrats did not make a grave error "raiding" the rapists residence.

The error was in not immediately arresting him, like the FBI did to Reality Winner who stole ONE document.

The rapist was handled with kid gloves when he should have been handled with boxing gloves

He got away with one of the most traitorous acts in American history.

I remember when newspaper boys/girls would deliver your paper/news.

They would put in your box or deliver it to your front steps.

Nowadays, all you need to do is bend over to receive the “news”.
