Selling out their country for meth money…
The pro-Trump influencer, who uses the @AlphaFox78 handle on X, is an American man living in Massachusetts, CNN has learned. He agreed to speak to CNN about the posts on condition of anonymity.
I agree with what you did there, CNN.
The headline makes it sound like the influencer took the money and posted the video.
Edit: that’s because he did. His was the account that posted the fake ‘Hatian’s voting illegally in Georgia’ video.
“I don’t have any idea where it came from or anything - I’m just the guy who shared it,” he said.
Well, isn’t that the fuckin problem?
AlphaFox said the staged Georgia video wasn’t the first time he was paid to post content on his X account. On roughly 10 other occasions, Boikov paid him $100 to post memes and videos on the account, he said.
“It started with memes, and it seemed innocent,” he told CNN.
When Boikov’s requests then shifted to posting election-related videos, like the fake Georgia voter fraud footage, “I didn’t think anything of it,” he said.
He insisted to CNN he did not know Boikov worked for Russian state media.
A useful idiot, accepting peanuts and unknowingly weakening our democracy. Anyone from any side of the political spectrum should be cautious of anyone offering money to push a meme.
$100 for an influencer. $10,000 for a congressman. It’s all peanuts for them. The ROI is insane.
Compare that to the $100,000 a week Tim Pool was getting.
“I didn’t think anything of it.”
Yes, we know. Not thinking is common all over the spectrum because humans™ but it’s a pre-requisite to being anything right of center.
I hate reading this stuff because these fucking ass-wipes always seem so surprised after the consequences happen and even then someone usually needs to point it out to them. Like “how could I have known???” and it’s like “very easily! It was painfully obvious and everyone was telling you including credible experts!”
and it’s like “very easily! It was painfully obvious and everyone was telling you including credible experts!”
Nah but they’re a “free thinker”, dawg.
Nail a few of these idiots with sedition charges and suddenly the rest might be interested in checking their sources. Even those in the so called “main stream media”.
$100 to become a traitor to your own country?
If that’s not a cheap whore I don’t know what is.
It sounds bigger if it’s 8k in roubles tho. And more prophetic if it’s thirty of silver.
IDK how russian influence network budgets things but it’s very small even there. Like a monthly rent somewhere deep in the ass or a monthly pay for a basic manual labor you are supposed to chain multiple wages from, like moping one floor in an office building. I imagine the guy had millions set aside with buying this dude so cheap.
This is how democracy dies. $100 bills at a time.
$100 ???!!! I won’t even touch it for that.
