British spy uncovered in the Bernie campaign

Hmmm. But Russia is the problem.
Have you ever noticed that mainstream politicians are almost never racist and sexist, but leftists ALWAYS are?
You can set a watch by it. Every single time a leftist decides to run for office and do something meaningful and measurable for marginalized communities, that person will be "exposed" as racist and sexist.
Meanwhile the mainstream candidate that mouths meaningless platitudes for those same marginalized communities, will be portrayed as a defender of said people.
It's almost enough to make one think that the media is completely full of sh*t.
Speaking of leftists, the socialist government of Bolivia is rolling out universal health care.
Yet the United States "cannot afford it".

This moron thinks he's hurting AOC
Don't we need to distinguish . . .
. . . between casual morons and this other level of stupidity? We can't do it with a superscript, because these folks never got comfortable with math or science past the second grade. It needs to be a word. I can't think of one that truly captures the full degree and compass (and frequently, the malicious twisting) of the stupidity, so maybe we need to do the Internet a favor by making one up, c99's special gift to the toobz. Suggestions encouraged. Get creative, folks.

...I saw in the comments someone recommending we sponsor the yearly
Bullitzer Awards
With Bullitzer Prizes handed out to journalists and publishers who most further the causes of ignorance each year.
We'd need to come up with a rule about repeat awards, . . .
. . . so Luke Harding doesn't walk off with every Bullitzer.
You mean promote them up
...to a Lietime Achievement Award?
Okay, you're going to be good at this contest.
Anyone else wanna join in?
How 'bout dotard
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.

Because Leftist actually care about racism and sexism.
A right winger will simply shrug their shoulder's and mumble,
"Well, if they're gonna hang me for a goat..."
Wheras a Leftist, if they're true to their principles, must learn, accept, acknowledge, and generally derail to prove that they are ... ugh... Monty Python summed it up better.

Max Blumenthal at the grayzone project
wrote the article Jimmy describes...

He also wrote a piece about "New Knowledge" which is CIA - NSA types rather than NATO MI6 types...

The patterns have played forward with heartbreaking precision
...haven't they? I suppose we had to put this much distance on these events to begin to see the entire picture and understand what it is doing to our own lives. And, of course, none of this could be done without a Deep State.
Roles have changed since that first thrust. Now, China is the stand in for Germany. The US remains Brittian's colonial Golem. Russia is a changeling — the Cheshire Cat. Better historians than I could call those roles more accurately. As always, the Deep States and family lines are in full control, waiting patiently at the edges of their webs to strike.
That's my view, at least. It never seems to change much.
I was a history major back in the day...
Again, can't thank you enough.

@Pluto's Republic Actually, Pluto, it's
Actually, Pluto, it's been oft-stated that the Spanish-American War was "The First Media War." So, in many ways that matter, the Brits were taking copious notes with regard to what was playing out here in the U.S. (the Brits' "little study group" was formed in the early 1890's). It would then follow that it's not a stretch to say that WWI was "The Second Media War."
I think it's important to point out that there was a hell of A LOT going on in the 1890's:
--the U.S. was dealing with the massive Panic of 1893 (Depression), etc.
--Russian and other major eastern European cities were growing exceptionally quickly. As a result of that rampant growth, societal pressures were mounting; and, particularly in Russia, the Bolshevik Revolution started metastasizing around 1905.
--and, while the U.S. was beginning to wonder whether there was anything else to exploit in the lower 48, the U.S. economy's downfall, earlier in the decade (with harsh reminders of same still prevalent throughout U.S. society for six years), was an ongoing reminder that it was time to look elsewhere for new places to plunder; I find this a bit ironic, in that if the U.S.--with all of its land, and only a paltry 125+/- years of existence--was beginning to feel fenced in and aggressive, it doesn't even begin to describe the many decades of British lust for continuing global domination, while simultaneously sitting by, in 1898, seeing the U.S. plunder so much Spanish property both in the Pacific and the Atlantic, in a matter of months!
I find this PBS/CPB video, "CRUCIBLE OF EMPIRE" to be an important, obvious and necessary preface on any accurate, historical overview (and especially when discussing something created by Corbett, et al, regarding an event that occurred around 15 years later), of WWI:

"Freedom is something that dies unless it's used." --Hunter S. Thompson
I find it stunning
That war has been largely erased from the collective memory. It did spawn the invention of the 1911 model Colt 45, a standard issue sidearm for years to come, but only because there were so many wogs to gun down.

We get taught a "Disneyfied" version of history
in school.
And generally people stop learning history after the 10th grade.
Interesting side note, I recently realized that all Identity Politics, both liberal and conservative, is built upon this Disneyfied understanding of history.

I wonder when a woman who criticizes a male
politician will be called a sexist. Not gonna happen. What is good for the goose is apparently not good for the gander. Con artist sexism on the rise.

This is the real meddling
in our elections. But because they are the Brits and are allies, it is okay that they meddle in our elections or act as proxies for the Deep State to meddle in our elections.
Something that no one has commented on but strikes a strong chord with me is that II (Integrity Initiative) was not only recognized as a charity, but also worked with NATO. IMO, NATO is the enforcement arm for imperialism in the northern hemisphere and needs to be disbanded.

Hmmm.....
lessee... a government financed 'charity' located in the not inexpensive, rarefied air of the Temple (see Inns of Court, barristers, etc.). And just down the road (literally) from Arundel House, home of the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
Nothing odd about that.
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
Russia Today, Sputnik News and some right wing sources
that may have picked up the story from RT (oddly enough) claim that the role of Integrity Initiative is disinformation. I don't dismiss the story because of that, though, especially since II targeted Bernie.

Yep. Like allegations that Corbyn and Labour are anti-Semitic.

I wonder how much of this will be reported by the MSM who are in the pocket of the war mongers?

What the Left faces in terms of anti-Leftist propaganda
Dang, forgot where I read what some poster noted about the Integrity bullshit. But the poster noted how well funded and connected are the propaganda forces fighting and smearing the Left--and alot of it government(s) funded. Millions in this case. And the New Knowledge "experiment" in just AL which was funded to the tune of $100,000, which is 25X what the Russians spent on Google. The AL "experiment" relied on Hamilton 68 project whose funding looks to be easily hundreds of thousands of dollars given the people involved with the project.
Which left?
The democratic party left or the real left?
New Knowledge checks to see it Daily Kos is spreading propaganda
every diary writer has this after their username: This content is not subject to review by Daily Kos staff This is because NK flagged a few of the diaries there as propaganda. Marcos contacted them and told them what the site was about and in order for NK to not flag the site they had to put up that disclaimer. Plus this one is at the bottom:
I haven't seen one diary there that talked about how New Knowledge infiltrated Roy Moore's campaign and tried to make it look like it was Russia that was doing it.
I will find Kos' diary that describes this if anyone is interested. I do read the site everyday and am just flabbergasted at what people there are believing about Russia Gate and all the tangents it has taken and the new ones being discovered every day. It's mind numbing to see a massive propaganda campaign's effect on people I thought I knew and respected. You will have to see for yourselves how far off the rails the site has fallen.
There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?

Just finished reading the support for Nancy's pay go
it's not really as bad as you think it is according to them. This was after Paul Krugman came out against it. Pick and choose what you like about the people you look to for information on what's good for the country I guess.

As far as I can tell, PayGo has one purpose
...for the Dems. It is to prevent passage of Bills like "Medicare for All" and "Free Education" legislation. This is a Donor-directed provision. Nothing that directly benefits the American people will be discussed in the next two years. Nothing that would affect the upcoming election.
The main individual
responsible for spreading the anti Putin/Russian propaganda in DKos is Mark Sumner - the Luke Harding of DKos.
He will use his previous diaries to back up new claims made in successive diaries until he has woven such a fantastical story that it has little to no relation to reality. He is such a master of "baffle them with bullshit" that one would need a front end loader to get to the bottom of his shitpile.
The fact that time has failed to prove the veracity of Sumner's reporting just shows the extent of the remaining Dkos'rs ability to allow truths that do not fit the narrative to fall into the memory hole. Otherwise their heads would surely explode with cognitive dissonance.
But maybe there is some hope for these people after all. Looks like they're no longer drinking the koolaid.
Ooh absolutely it's Sumner and I agree that he's the Luke
of DK. He has been linking the Luke article on the guardian and he has a habit of wording links to fit his content, but when you click on them they say nothing of the sort. I have been laughing at this for some time. Just ask gulfgal....
This too. And yet not one person has called him out on this. Of course they don't because it fits their narrative too. And I'm thinking that this is why New Knowledge marked it as propaganda. But how sad is it that DK has to outsource its fact checkers?

Anyone who even begins
to entertain thoughts of questioning
Luke'sMark's conclusions immediately crimestop* themselves. The DKos Thought Police have done an excellent job of culling any dissenters who would speak truth to power on that site.There are still a few that do
"Obama promised transparency, but Assange is the one who brought it."
But Russia is the problem.
to quote OP.
Yes! And the British Spy within the Bernie campaign proves it! The British would not have inserted a spy into the Bernie campaign if Bernie were not in bed with the Russians, so the British had to act and save U.S. democracy by sending in their operatives to thwart the Russian influence occurring among Bernie and his bros.
Simple and clear; all roads lead to Russia!
Sure, laugh it up, but you just know, that's how this crap gets spun...it's ALWAYS, ALWAYS Russia...remember how if the Guardian's Manafort/Assange/Russia reporting was false, then it's because they were tricked by Russia? https://youtu.be/bQPDfN2kveA?t=1089
It is either "Russia did it...and if not, then Russian disinfo/trick."
Russia, Russia, Russia!
But this is what makes Bernie going along with
Russia Gate so sad. And disappointing. He knows that never happened and that it was why Hillary lost. But what makes me more angry about it is what Russia Gate is intended to do and he has signed on to it.

I'm not surprised
Bernie was never anything more than a fluffer for Hillary.
His campaign was responsible for getting Her Heinous a majority in the popular vote. But he couldn't give her the presidency as too many people were woke to the DNC machinations by the time of the election.
