Brian Cates retweeted General Flynn and said this…
The DC beltway/mainstream news bubble is VERY REAL, Mike.
Absolutely it is real.
While journalists like @tracybeanz and @themarketswork and @HansMahncke and other smaller accounts were on here reporting on Spygate from 2017-2020, mainstream news stayed away from the most damaging evidence that emerged.
Which meant all the big Conservative, Inc. accounts on here stayed away from the most damaging SpyGate evidence also, since daring to post that stuff got you banned/suspended/limited for spreading 'disinformation'. They protected their access, since apparently their access came first in their minds.
So mainstream news stayed in it's info silo, and Conservative Inc. followed them right along into that info silo.
So if you were getting your understanding of SpyGate from reading mainstream 'news' sources, you were either deliberately or unintentionally inside an information bubble.
But I want to have grace here, because for many big accounts out there now covering the damaging evidence that was known years ago, this actually **IS** the first time they are seeing it.
Some of these people had never heard of me or Tracy or Epoch Times or if they had, they got a very negative view of us because of the smears and disinformation pieces written about us in the mainstream press calling us 'conspiracy theorists'.
What's unfolding right now is yet another example of "Wait you mean those CONSPIRACY THEORISTS were telling everybody the truth? AGAIN?!"
Tracey Beanzs responded to Jonathan Turley with these words.
“It’s getting frustrating to see this. We lived through the past 7 years. We all know what happened.“
Turley said this on X
...While these sources have to be confirmed and substantiated, The role of Brennan is intriguing. Brennan was the one who briefed President Barack Obama on Hillary Clinton’s “plan” to tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.” Brennan also signed the infamous letter warning that the Hunter Biden laptop had all of the markings of Russian intelligence, a letter that he later admitted was “political.”
Sundance at The Last Refuge (Conservative Treehouse) covered it all in long form substantial reports at the Treehouse.
Epoch Times covered Spygate perfectly!
John Solomon at The Hill did some awesome journalism around it.
And that fabulous Mommy Blogger Jenny Hatch, who loves to follow daily US Political News, was crafting musicalized meme videos about all of it!
Almost ALL of my Spygate content has been completely censored.

UPDATE
A few days later Matt gave a nod to a slew of other journalists who covered Spygate…
I’ll list just a few of the names who reported stories in this direction over the years, in some cases day after day on broadcast shows. An attentive reader will notice nearly everyone on the list has been denounced at some point by the mainstream commentators who got this story horribly wrong. Aaron, considered a traitor by former mainstream colleagues, faced pressure from staff at The Nation, was denounced by The Guardian as part of a “network of conspiracy theorists,” and failed to gain support from any major media outlet or press advocacy organization when the FBI passed on an outrageous request from Ukrainian secret services to remove him from Twitter.
Others who got this story right but were singled out for dismissal or ridicule include:
former CIA officer Ray McGovern, who was called “fringe” and “conspiracy-mongering” by Max Boot, a member of the illustrious club of pundits who botched both the Steele dossier and Iraqi WMD stories;
former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, who has been on this subject for years and was called a “misinformation superspreader” by the New York Times after the 2020 election;
Intercept founder Glenn Greenwald, denounced as a pathological bigot for dissenting on Trump-Russia themes, and ultimately forced out of his own publicationfor writing critically of Hunter Biden and Burisma without adequately addressing the question of “Russia’s hand”;
former CIA operative Larry Johnson, who said years ago that the surveillance campaign began with the GCHQ, Britain’s version of the NSA, in 2015 and was among the first to say publicly what our source just told us, that there is intelligence suggesting Maltese professor and supposed Russian asset Joseph Mifsud was British intelligence. He’s naturally been denounced as a “conspiracy theorist”;
Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, declared “bonkers” by the Daily Beast, perhaps the most aggressive promoter of the “collusion” theory and one of the most dependable producers of factually dubious stories on this subject in the mainstream press landscape;
author Lee Smith, the major chronicler of the HPSCI work (more to come on this), who naturally was ripped for “conspiracy theory” for publishing a book on the subject;
Pulitzer-winner Jeff Gerth, who wrote a 24,000-word deconstruction of Trump-Russia coverage in the Columbia Journalism Reviewthat included a quote from Bob Woodward saying the media needed to “walk down the painful road of introspection.” He was called a “Trump-Russia denialist” who “can’t handle the truth,” by David Corn of Mother Jones, one of the first people to publish the phony Steele-blackmail story;
another RealClear writer, Paul Sperry, who wrote about CIA chief John Brennan overruling dissent to create the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment. Sperry popped up in the Twitter Files when the office of California congressman Adam Schiff, who infamously said he had “more than circumstantial” evidence of collusion, asked to have Sperry banned;
Professor Margot Cleveland of The Federalist and Chuck Ross of the Daily Signal, who both got this right and were both marked “unreliable” by Pentagon-funded NewsGuard;
former The Hill and current JustTheNewswriter John Solomon, who published a significant amount of the key documents in this matter, and was the subject of a poisonous media campaign that crested particularly during the period of the first Trump impeachment;
citizen investigators like the Racket-profiled “Sleuth’s Corner” of @Walkafyre, @TECHNO_FOG, @RyanM58699717, @climateaudit, @FOOL_NELSON, and @Hmmm57474203. This group who uncovered the name of the “primary sub-source” of famed British ex-spy Christopher Steele, Igor Danchenko, not only went roundly uncredited, but was immediately accused in the New York Times of putting Danchenko “in Russia’s sights” by Virginia Senator Mark Warner.
There are countless others.
