Sad part is the narrative is still too convoluted for almost every person I know to follow (all of whom bought Russia collusion, hook line & sinker). God bless you Aaron (God, goddess, infinite intelligence…); someday you’ll win a Pulitzer.

If even 10% of US journalists had AM’s integrity and methodical mind, this country wouldn’t be the dumpster fire that it is today.

Thank you Mr. Mate for all of your serious journalism. You are one of the very few I can trust.

Thank goodness for real journalism and fact checking; you're a rare and priceless gem indeed!!

"Luke Harding of The Guardian's bizarre and evidence-free allegation that Julian Assange and Paul Manafort met in London's Ecuadorian embassy."

Not to suggest this is an omission because Luke gets his elsewhere. My deep, long lasting loathing for Luke Harding for inflicting so much intentional harm on Julian Assange can't pass a chance to flag Luke as an especially evil worm.

One of the charges against Julian related to files leaked when **Luke published the password** to WikiLeaks working files in the slander filled trash "WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy" later made to an equally inaccurate film The Fifth Estate.

No chance we'll hear any defense of that after Aaron mopped the floor with Luke for the swill that is his Russiagate book 'Collusion: Secret Meetings, Dirty Money, and How Russia Helped Donald Trump Win' Epic smack down to cherish for the days when the dirtbags look to prevail!

I've recently been thinking that the people who were posting things like "Michael Jackson was the first Black artist that white people listened to" in 2009 are now writing for the New York Times and Washington Post. No one ever told them that just because you think something is true, that doesn't make it true.

Interesting trivia: the patient zero of Crossfire Hurricane, Alexander Downer, when he was Aus foreign minister, used the Aus intelligence services to bug the office of East Timor during a key oil field negotiation so that it benefited his future employer, Woodside petroleum

He was also the lobbyist for Huawei in Australia… the guy will work for anyone who pays good money.

I know it's only $50 but I thought I would get more articles than what I am seeing. It's like he doesn't want us to renew....

Once again, Aaron's tenacious research yields another "bombshell" report which expertly continues to dismantle the spurious, mainstream Russia-Gate narrative.

Eh, he's got an Izzy. That makes him a legitimate journalist.

Another one bites the dust. Get on your happy shoes and dance. Actually, I share Mr. Mate's grief that so much of a nation willing to swallow the Russiagate Pill. The press reflects the nation as much as it shapes it.
