Projecting your guilt onto your opponent is \u201cthe cleverest trick in propaganda,\u201d as Hitler\u2019s minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, once described it in 1934.<\/p>\n<p>So it is no surprise that one of the most recent documents declassified by Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe shows that the only candidate who used Russian disinformation in the 2016 campaign was not Donald Trump but Hillary Clinton, who has shouted loudest and longest that the president is a Russian agent.<\/p>\n<p>Handwritten notes from then-CIA Director John Brennan shed light on US intelligence from late July 2016 of Russian claims that Clinton personally had <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roved a plan to \u201cstir up a scandal\u201d against Trump by tying him to Vladimir Putin in order to distract from her use of a private e-mail server. Brennan\u2019s notes suggest he told President Barack Obama all about the plot.<\/p>\n<p>Looks like Russia collusion wasn\u2019t a hoax, after all. But the FBI targeted the victims while allowing the culprits off scot free.<\/p>\n<p>This probably is the worst case of Democratic projection in history. But it prompts a roundup of other notable instances when Democrats shifted their own wrongdoing, thought crimes and malign motivations onto their opponents.<\/p>\n<p>Take their latest attack line on the president, that his brain is addled from coronavirus treatments. That\u2019s a rich projection from a party whose candidate is famously cognitively impaired.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the odd memory lapse doesn\u2019t stop Joe Biden and his speechwriters from engaging in blatant projection. In fact, it probably helps.<\/p>\n<p>Take Biden\u2019s claim that his campaign represents the working-class people of Scranton, Pa., versus Trump\u2019s billionaire elites: \u201cAll that Trump can see from Park Avenue is Wall Street.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16418632\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"size-nypost-large-desktop-uncropped wp-image-16418632 lazyload\" alt=\"Michelle Obama\" width=\"662\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Michelle-Obama.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Michelle-Obama.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Michelle-Obama.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Michelle-Obama.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=662 662w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Michelle-Obama.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1324 1324w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 662px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span>Michelle Obama<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Biden Harris\/ZUMA Wire<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Please. Biden\u2019s campaign is well-funded by the fabulously wealthy, especially Big Tech oligarchs.<\/p>\n<p>According to a report in Wired this week, almost 95 percent of donations from employees working at Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, Microsoft and Oracle went to Biden: $5 million compared to $250,000 for Trump.<\/p>\n<p>And Wall Street has lavished eight times more cash on Biden than Trump, according to Breitbart.com, with donors living on Park Avenue giving Biden more than $1 million but just $127,000 to Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The most egregious case of projection came this week with Michelle Obama\u2019s race-baiting video for Biden\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n<p>She accused \u201cracist\u201d Trump of \u201cwhipping up violence and intimidation [and] pinning it all on what\u2019s been an overwhelmingly peaceful movement for racial solidarity. It\u2019s true! Research backs it up. Only a tiny fraction of demonstrations have had any violence at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whom is she trying to fool? That\u2019s like saying \u201cI only put a tiny fraction of arsenic in your glass of water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We have seen countless videos of the \u201cviolence and intimidation\u201d of BLM-Antifa Marxist mobs rampaging across America all summer. We\u2019ve seen them throw rocks and Molotov cocktails at police and scream obscenities in their faces. We\u2019ve seen them kick people in the head when they\u2019re down. We\u2019ve seen them stop traffic and pull motorists out of cars. We\u2019ve seen them deface property, loot stores, pull down statues, burn buildings and firebomb police stations.<\/p>\n<p>Obama didn\u2019t condemn BLM-Antifa in her video. She pretended it didn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n<p>She then had the hide to accuse the president of \u201cgaslighting the American people,\u201d that is, making them question their own perceptions of violence on the streets.<\/p>\n<p>Talk about projection. Her entire video is an exercise in gaslighting. She used her popularity and reputation as former first lady to flip reality on its head.<\/p>\n<p>It is the Democrats and their \u00adallies on the radical left who have been \u201cwhipping up violence and intimidation\u201d and then trying to project blame onto some mythical entity, in this case \u201cheavily armed militias.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden indulged in the identical projection the same day in a speech in Gettysburg, Pa. He mentioned \u201cexamples of violence and looting and burning that cannot be tolerated,\u201d which he blamed on \u201cextremist white supremacist groups menacing our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What the hell is he talking about? The groups menacing our communities, marching into suburbs with megaphones and tipping over \u00adtables in restaurants are the Democratic proxies of BLM-Antifa. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\n<p>Biden is projecting blame away from his allies in the hope that some people will start doubting their own perception of reality, and the media <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly backs him up.<\/p>\n<p>The former VP also projected his own unsavory racial history onto the president, dredging up the old Charlottesville lie that Trump is a racist who praised \u201cNeo-Nazis, white supremacists and the KKK coming out of the fields with torches lit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet Biden is the guy who really did praise the man he called his \u201cfriend\u201d and \u201cmentor\u201d in Congress, former Ku Klux Klan \u201cExalted \u00adCyclops\u201d Robert Byrd.<\/p>\n<p>So next time you hear Biden and friends accuse the president of some dastardly deed, chances are it\u2019s a sin they themselves have committed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"I_am_a_proud_target\"><\/span>I am a proud target<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s an honor to have your column quoted in a tweet by the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1313266827653414913\">president of the United States<\/a>.

When he walked out of hospital, seemingly recovered, and said three powerful words, \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid,\u201d the Democrats and Washington press corps went into total meltdown.<\/p>\n<p>But the president is delivering a powerful message of hope through experience, which America needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t let [the virus] dominate you,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re going back to work \u2026 Get out there and be careful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He is not yet out of the woods, but the president has shown that the virus does not have to be a death sentence.
