The Frankish Reich Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Q. Why would Russia (through RT, Russian state-controlled media) want to fund these American "patriot" self-appointed pundits? Putin is not an idiot. What was in it for him? To ask the question is to answer it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone surpassing that level, it makes perfect sense. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants you to think he's supporting these people and endorses Harris to make you "think" he's supporting Trump when he's actually supporting Harris. Bet you didn't think that far ahead though, did ya? You sound like a 3rd grader giving 5th graders a bad name...keep supporting Putin though, it suits you well. Moral of the story, don't worry about what Putin thinks, or maybe do...hmmmm 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 I notice Benny Johnson has continued his inane tweeting as if nothing has happened. This is the best summary of what Russia was up to. NOTE: no denials from any of the "pundits" mentioned! They are taking the position that they were helpless dupes. A good article, based on a close reading of the indictment itself. Read it; you will come away with the clear conclusion that these guys (well, 2 guys, one girl) are either dumb as dirt or that they were trying like hell to avoid the obvious here. REMINDER: these are the people our Trumpies here often cut-and-paste from. You know, the reliable Russian-funded alt-media that is so superior to the MSM. https://www.emptywheel.net/2024/09/04/don-jrs-online-buddies-allegedly-demand-5-million-from-russian-shell-companies-to-say-nice-things-about-his-daddy/ To prove the FARA charge — one you’d only need to prove if Kalashnikov and Afanasyeva showed up in the US for arrest — you’d need to prove that the two RT people succeeded in influencing US politics, and deliberately hid that they were doing so on behalf of a Russian entity. And RT is sufficient — you wouldn’t need to show that RT was paid by the Russian government. So you have to show how they worked through cut-outs, the two people who run Tenet media and through them the influencers like Tim Pool and Benny Johnson who got duped. And that requires you showing how RT set up fake personas, including a fake funder named Eduard Grigoriann, as a front to use to convince Pool and Johnson this was all legit, so that after one of them — I believe this is Pool — asked for more information about whom he’d be working with, they would have ready answers. One of the other figureheads — either Johnson or Dave Rubin — complained about this fake funder (FBI mocks them all because they keep spelling his name wrong), because he used woke language: Commentator-1 had “a problem with the profile we sent over, specifically the reference to ‘social justice.” I think it may be because that’s usually a term used by liberals, but we’re trying to create a conservative network.” That led to a Zoom meeting that the persona, Grigoriann may have missed, because they ***** up the time difference between Paris and Moscow. At approximately 8:58 a.m. Central Time that day, “Eduard Grigoriann” replied to his earlier email: “I am there guys.” The time, in fact, was 3:58 p.m. in Paris — but it was 4:58 p.m. in Moscow. Approximately two minutes later, “Eduard Grigoriann” performed a Google search for “time in Paris.” “Eduard Grigoriann” them replied to his email, in part: “Sorry, wrong hour. Didn’t sync the calendar.” There’s some real clown show stuff in this. But it didn’t matter for Pool and whichever one is Commentator-1, because they signed contracts worth almost $5 million a year or $100,000 per non-exclusive video. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising. These scumbags knew exactly what they were doing. Now the rubes…some of the few smarter ones did and played along. And they continue to. They can’t compete with honesty so they lie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how it's only "propaganda" when it's against your side. Have you ever had an original thought in that cranium or it is as empty as I'm sure it is?
