Introduction
Normalization of diplomatic relations with the Russian Federation had first been proposed by Donald Trump in 2017.
Under RussiaGate (2016), President-elect Donald Trump had been accused oftreason“after President Obama announced new sanctions [in late December 2016] against Russia and Trump praised Vladimir Putin’s response to the sanctions.” (Daily Caller, December 30, 2016, emphasis added)
Former Secretary of Defense and CIA Director Leo Panettahad already intimated prior to the elections thatTrump was a threat to national security.
Even prior to the inauguration of president Trump, the US media in liaison with US intelligence had launched successive waves of smears directed against President-elect Donald Trump.
The objective from the very outset was to discredit president Trump, presenting him as a Manchurian candidate serving the interests of the Kremlin.

RussiaGate 2.0
The RussiaGate objective as formulated in 2016 was:
“to get rid of a President who intended to normalize relations with Russia, thus curtailing the budget and power of the military/security complex.” (Paul Craig Roberts, emphasis added)
In January 2019, the FBI Russia investigation was quoted by the media as “evidence” that Trump was “wittingly or unwittingly” an agent of the Kremlin.
What is the stance of the FBI today in regard to the candidacy of Donald Trump? The FBI played a key role in sustaining RussiaGate. (P. C Roberts). I should mention that the FBI is also responsible (coincidentally) for the investigation of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.
Let us wake up to REALITY.
The levels of political manipulation, fraud and criminality have reached their pinnacle.
The ultimate intent of the campaign against Trump in 2016-19, led by the Neocons and the Dems Clinton faction was to destabilize the Trump presidency.
From RussiaGate 1.0 to RussiaGate 2.0
There is continuity: Under RussiaGate 2.0(2024) which we are currently experiencing, variousaccusations of treason against Trump will once more go into high gear, ultimately with a view to sabotage the peace process as well as destabilize Trump’s candidacy to the presidency of the U.S.
Trump has confirmed: …
“that if reelected, he would swiftly bring an end to the war in Ukraine by speaking with Putin.
“I will have that war settled between Putin and Zelensky as president-elect before I take office on January 20.
I’ll have that war settled,” Trump said on June 27 during a debate with Biden, adding,
“I’ll get it settled fast, before I take office.” (Quoted by Newsweek)
Speaking with Putin is regarded as an act of treason. This courageous statement, reminiscent of Donald Trump –the alleged Manchurian Candidate— is unlikely to be accepted by the “Deep State”, the Military Industrial Complex and the powerful financial groups which support the Democratic Party leadership.
What will be the ultimate outcome?
Real peace negotiations are an integral part of Trump’s election campaign.
Trump’s national security advisory team has prepared a balanced plan: if the Kiev regime does not enter into peace talks with Moscow, the U.S. would (under a Trump presidency) immediately suspend the flow of US weapons to Ukraine:
“Under the plan drawn up by [General Keith] Kellogg and Fred Fleitz, who both served as chiefs of staff in Trump’s National Security Council during his 2017-2021 presidency, there would be a ceasefire based on prevailing battle lines during peace talks, Fleitz said.
They have presented their strategy to Trump, and the Republican presidential candidate responded favorably”.(Reuters, June 23, 2024)
It is worth noting that this peace proposal — which is part of his election campaign — was formulated barely a few weeks prior to the failedattempt to assassinate Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.
