So I guess it’s time to write some fan fictions guessing at all the ways Carter Page is actually a secret mastermind of the coup, rather than a victim of it. Maybe next week, after we’ve exhausted all the ways to rubbish Page, we can guess at all the ways Michael Flynn or Sydney Powell are part of the coup as well.

It is kind of hard to explain why Flynn plead guilty — after all, if he was innocent he wouldn’t have given up so easily, right?

What utter garbage this way of thinking is. I’m tired of tolerating it from our side.

Haven’t (to date) seen any proof Page was knowingly working for the Deep State against the Trump campaign. I’ve seen a lot of people in comments pull that opinion out of their a**es in multiple threads, alongside the unqualified (and cynical) guess that AG Barr and Durham are also coup agents — because “we’ve been burned before”, or because “we want to see heads rolling but you’re calling Mueller your friend!”. It’s easy to just guess that everyone is a secret traitor, for easy likes, upvotes, slaps on the back, and a fake aura of know-it-all status.

You see a lot of that on crackpot websites, where everyone is assumed to be a zionist, communist, martians, CIA, KGB, or somehow in on the crime/conspiracy the forum focuses on. That’s what makes them crackpot forums (in contrast to alternative research efforts): they fire charges indiscriminately assuming 99% of people on Earth are working for the enemy.

In reality, truth is exposed by fact patterns and logic, not cynical, paranoid, lazy guesswork. People engaged in this bad habit should feel shame for casting quick and easy aspersions against people they don’t KNOW are dishonorable. It’s a sickening atmosphere on our side these days as a result of these lazy accusations, from people not even trying to figure things out. The Internet allows people to spend their days throwing out insults, accusations, and rotten fever dreams for attention — then never take accountability for their words.

If Page were a knowing participant in the coup, he stands apart from other CHSes like Rep. Mike Rogers and his spook wife. Both of whom waltzed away from the Trump team without ever being mentioned by the media, without their personal or professional lives inconvenienced to any extent. Secret assets like these tend not to get the spotlight. Actual victims tend to get the spotlight while the media demonizes them.

No one gets paid enough as a confidential human asset to endure death threats, permanent unemployment, nights spent with a firearm under the pillow, and social outcast status while not delivering any “slam dunks” for their (supposed) employers. People who get used, thinking they’re helping their country, and get betrayed or framed get to endure all that suffering.

For the time being, those are the facts surrounding Carter Page. Not sure how long we can honestly view ourselves as fighting on the side of the angels if we’re going to roast or smear the guy because we’re bored.

Russian pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov (Vovan) and Alexey Stolyarov (Lexus) have launched an international project called "Stars Save the Earth", a project dedicated to global problems of modern society. Vovan and Lexus discuss them with celebrities and politicians in order to find a solution together and save our planet. The first hero of "Stars Save the Earth" is Congresswoman Maxine Waters, with whom the pranksters discuss the topic of harrasment.
