While President-elect Donald Trump confronts a coordinated assault by the "intelligence community," the media, and the Democratic party that seeks to delegitimize him before he even takes the oath of office, it's on the foreign front that the greatest danger looms.

The conspiracy theory that has been pushed by the CIA, embraced by the media, and reluctantly endorsed by the FBI – a Russian "cyber-attack" liberated emails from the DNC server and John Podesta's gmail account, and WikiLeaks obligingly published them on Putin's orders – is never questioned in the mainstream media. Except, of course, by President-elect Trump, whose campaign disdained this narrative by remarking : "These are the same people who said that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction."

Ouch!
