I have no idea how it didn’t end with “Russia if your listening, dig up her emails!” And then they fucking did that.

The worst part about it is that it’s just as useful as what we’ve been saying: not at all.

When it’s their DOJ then everything that comes out is entirely factual and can be trusted. When it’s the oppositions DOJ then suddenly it’s all lies and nothing is true, they expect the opposite to be true.

So in this instance we get reassured that we knew what was up and for Magoos they can “rest easy” knowing that it’s all “democrat lies” so this story is almost entirely meaningless unfortunately :(

It’s just tiresome to see people blink straight past the billions injected by our at-home crop of fascist oligarchs and fixate squarely on “Facebook took $46k from a Russian media group to post ForwardsFromGrandma memes” as the singular reason for an electoral outcome.

Would that Americans could hold an ember of hate for the Koch Brothers that rivals the bonfire they feel towards Tucker Carlson and Russia Today.

It’s an out in the open laundering scheme for sure.

Wait, there’s even more. The conman moves into every money laundering scheme he encounters. Now DonOLD, the felon, is slithering into Bitcoin.

With noting, I don’t know the logistics of how Truth Social was integrated into the original company’s stock, but as of January 1st, I don’t believe this stock included Truth Social into its value.

That said, January 1st value was 17.45. Current value is 16.98. This means Truth Social added -.47 to the share price. -.47 so far…

The NPR story I just recently listened to seems to claim it’s a mix of the two. Or maybe a bunch of them are lying.

Duped but I’d say more than willingly duped since it’s not hard to pick up on the slant of the ‘news’ angle they are being pushed to put out. Someone is giving you $100k a month and they decided to not rock the boat.

Knowing it and proving it to a judge, different ballgames entirely. Same ball, but it only gets hit in one of them.

I can tell you for a fact that my one remaining MAGA friend is hyper-fixated on “liberals believing liberal propaganda”. I am sure that’s a well-researched safety mechanism from russian counterintelligence.

It also fits snugly in the whole cult mentality, which is as old as the hills.

Subverting democracy is cheap as dirt.

Putin switched to psyops when Russia was short on money for military hardware and it has been a fabulous success for him.

The Lobby (TV Series)

The Lobby is a series of documentaries produced by Al Jazeera that investigate the influence of the Israel lobby in the United Kingdom and in the United States and their relationship to the BDS movement

Blocked screening and subsequent leak

On February 8, 2018, it was reported that Qatari leaders had reassured the leaders of Jewish American organisations that Al Jazeera would not be airing the US companion series. According to Haaretz, the Qatari government had reportedly hired Republican Senator Ted Cruz’s former aide Nicolas Muzin to open communications channels with Jewish American organisations. Earlier, the network had sent letters to several American pro-Israel organisations informing them that their employees would appear in the documentary. These letters generated speculation that the Qatari government had reneged on its earlier promise to block Al Jazeera from screening the controversial documentary which, like the earlier British series, had utilized clandestine footage and recordings of pro-Israel activists.

Al Jazeera’s decision not to screen the documentary drew criticism from Clayton Swisher, who accused the network of capitulation to outside pressure. Swisher said that the practice of using undercover investigators “is used by many international broadcasters, including BBC and CNN, and is carefully managed, through multiple layers of legal and editorial review, to ensure it is performed consistently with local laws, industry regulations, and our own Code of Ethics”. Swisher took a sabbatical from Al Jazeera due to the network’s failure to respond to attacks on the project and the lack of transparency around the network’s decision to delay the broadcast. In March 2018, a bipartisan group of US lawmakers including Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer, Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin, and Ted Cruz penned a letter urging United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate whether Al Jazeera should register as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. They also urged the Justice Department to investigate reports that the network had infiltrated non-profit organisations and accused Al Jazeera of broadcasting antisemitic, anti-Israel, and anti-American content. On April 10, 2018, the Zionist Organization of America’s president Morton Klein claimed credit for lobbying the Qatari government not to screen Al Jazeera’s companion documentary series focusing on American pro-Israel lobby.

Clayton Swisher’s social credit score is completely fucked, let me tell you what.

That, unusually, IS one of the protected speech rights of the first amendment.

As opposed to twitter accusing meta of suppressing their speech or whatever private-entity arguments we normally see.

Demented rapist “predisents” who plan shitty failed coups should absolutely be charged with non-wartime-treason, or sedition. But media outlets spewing garbage is, for better or for worse, our first amendment right.

“Manga” lol
