A Hoax?? Something to Ponder

Tweet

What was investigated? Russian interference in the US elections. US president insists on calling it “the Russia hoax”. QUESTION: What “part” is a hoax? The part about the Russians interfering with the elections OR the part about the Trump campaign managers colluding with the Russians? Part 1 was proven. Part 2 was proven. Part 1: The Russians interfered. That's not a hoax! Part 2: Trump campaign managers did not collude. That wasn't a hoax either! I'm sort of fuzzy on the “hoax” thing. Let's explore. * * * Media reports say: Russia tried to hack into US, UK and Canada's COVID-19 vaccine research, national intelligence agency says ~ Of course, Russia denies it. I guess it's a hoax. Media reports say: Russians tried to influence UK election, says Raab | The Independent ~ Of course, Russia says 'Oh poo poo! Why would we be interested in UK election outcomes?' I guess it's a hoax. Media reports say: A former Russian spy was poisoned in Britain one year ago. The report is dated Mar 2019. So it's now 2 years ago. The Brits say the Russians did it. ~ Of course, Russia denies it. Why would they be interested? I guess it's a hoax. Although? It sort of looks like a pattern. A pattern of hoaxes? Uhh … nah! I don't think so. Media reports say: July 1, 2020: Referendum In Russia Passes, Allowing Putin To Remain President Until 2036 : NPR No need to guess. That's neither a hoax or a pattern. That's a plan. A major plan. But the plan makes me think the “hoaxes” are a pattern which reflect bits and pieces of a major plan. QUESTION: If it were a matter of national security which is better: * Prove a hoax OR * Ignore a pattern that looks like a plan. * * * See what happens when the first thing you listen to when you wake up in the morning is a news report. Hope you started your day on a better note. Happy Sunday!
