Useful-idiot for the Kremlin in suburban Kansas City broadcasts Kremlin state propaganda. No doubt a trumpublican. At the same time the Russian government passes a law that imposes 15 year prison penalties for any media posting the truth, opposing the real "fake news" Russian state propaganda.
The best summary and explanation of the whole situation I've seen so far.
Why Putin Didn’t Invade Ukraine During Trump’s Presidency Chris Hayes: “When Republican politicians say that Putin would not have invaded Ukraine under Trump, they are probably right. But for the wrong reasons.”
Why Putin Didn’t Invade Ukraine During Trump’s Presidency?
Putin already had ASSET45 planted in the White House. He expected he would be able to seat him a second time and he would have been given the go ahead, just as the Mango Mussolini gave Erdogan free reign to carve up Syria and abandons the US Kurdish allies. His useful idiot, Rudy, turned out to be a bit of a disappointment though.
Russian assets in the US Congress.
Fucking traitorous QpubliKKKlan assholes.
The Kremlin's assets and usefulidiots.
RT-FOX asset Tucker Carlson is becoming a favorite with the Russian state media.
Putin’s invasion is a result of the disgraced and twice impeached former guy bowing at the feet of the RU dictator. Rudy Giuliani and the Republican useful idiots failed in helping the Kremlin seat the former guy a second time. Therefore the RU dictator, becoming more unhinged and wanting to secure his legacy as a bigly bad guy, decided to try to take over Ukraine and bring it back into the Russian/Soviet orbit.
Rudy is one of the reasons the Russian government’s campaign of repeating GOP lies and propaganda was less effective in the 2020 presidential campaign than in 2016. Rudy is a joke and as a GRU asset he is like a green tarnished copper penny in a pile of shiny mint silver dollars. Because of his ineptness the Kremlin’s useful idiots in the Republican Senate and House caucuses were also left looking like the incompetent fools and conspiracy pushers that they are.
Moscow Mitch Opens The Gates of Kentucky to the Russian Trojan-Horse
It’s all making more sense now. Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell (R-KY) would not let President Obama reveal in 2016 that the Intelligence Community found that the Kremlin was attempting to influence the 2016 U.S. elections and favoring Trump. McConnell said he would consider any effort by the White House to challenge the Russians publicly an act of partisan politics. Partisan politics, an accusation often projected on others by McConnell, while being a regular practice for him.
Then Moscow Mitch and his rat pack publicly downplayed the IC reports of the Kremlin’s interference and the possibility of Trump himself and/or his campaign’s involvement and contacts with Russian actors.
McConnell refused to call for an independent investigation into the Russian interference and the possibility of coordination with the Trump campaign. After Deputy AG Rosenstein appointed former FBI Director Mueller as Special Counsel, McConnell and other Republicans parroted Trump’s claim of a witch hunt and a hoax.
Moscow Mitch killed bi-partisan sanctions against a company owned by Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska who was investigated and found to be part of the Kremlin’s attack on the U.S.
Most recently McConnell killed bi-partisan efforts to enhance election security, earning him the nick “Moscow Mitch” by MSNBC’s Morning Joe host, Joe Scarborough.
There is little doubt that Trump was placed in the Oval Office in part due to the Kremlin’s efforts, as a useful idiot for the Kremlin. It is apparent that Senator Mitch McConnell is also a useful idiot kowtowing to the Kremlin for his personal and political benefit. Traitor to the republic?
MAGA in Nigerian parlance = Easily fooled idiot. Trump had another MAGA rally again earlier. Footage of the rally holds true to definition.
It is no secret, well documented by the U.S. Intelligence Community, that they “reasonably assess” that under possible Kremlin direction the internet and social media outlets were unindated with pro-Trump and anti-Hillary propaganda by Russian state controlled propaganda outlets like RT, RT America, Sputnik, Pravda, botnets, and an ever growing list of “useful idiots” that helped propagate #fakenews. That would include many conservative websites, talk radio pundits, and Fox News cable show hosts, specifically Hannity, Pirro, Carlson, The Five, and Fox And Friends.
Rachel @maddow discusses reports by Time’s Massimo Calabresi, Axios, Bloomberg, McClatchy, Washington Post and others regarding Facebook disclosing information on Russian interference in the 2016 election and using Facebook (and other social media platforms) to target members with pro-Trump and anti-Hillary propaganda.
Maddow poses the question of domestic participants not only in the information being posted as well as the targeting of the audience. Anyone who has ever seen posts, or have received spam emails, messages, etc., from non-English speaking sources knows the grammar and phoenetics are a dead giveaway they are not from English speaking origins. It would be reasonalble to question if there were domestic participants in the production and dissemination of this propaganda if it was indeed well written.
The question of demographics and targeting is also a valid one and a reasonable source of such weaponry could be Jared Kushner’s “Stealth Data Machine”. Some circles credit Kushner for Trump’s overtaking other Republican nominees and his eventual “unpopular vote” win of the White House along with Trump campaign Digital Director Brad Parscale. Kushner had access to the Republican National Committee's voter database. Quite useful for targeting and cementing the Republican voter base, especially those who were really not fond of Trump but anti-Democrat and anti-Hillary due to the amount of #fakenews put out on her and the Republican Party’s campaign of their own #fakenews and twisting of facts surrounding Benghazi and her private email server.
Kushner also teamed up with Cambridge Analytica, a pshycographic data firm that built comprehensive pshycological and personality profiles on millions of Facebook users to target them with pin-point propaganda and disinformation aimed at getting Trump elected and discrediting Clinton. Sound familiar? The exact thing Putin was doing. Cambridge Analytica was also involved in the Ted Cruz campaign (prior to Trump), and with Brexit.
When you talk about Cambridge Analytica you must also add reference to billionaire hedge funder Robert Mercer who was one of Trump’s biggest funders (after Cruz dropped out) and Steve Bannon, who was former head of Breitbart News (and now back there again after getting kicked out of the White House). Both Mercer and Bannon had financial ties to Cambridge Analytica and Glittering Steel, the production company that helped produce the discredited Clinton Cash (book of lies) and subsequent video by political hack Peter Schweitzer. Mercer also helped fund James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas fake sting videos, as did Trump Foundation with a $10,000 donation 1 month before Trump jumped in the ring. Other notables with Mercer/Bannon/Breitbart ties who wound up in the Trump camp and White House are Kellyanne Conway and David Bossie (Citizens United ties).
OK, connect the dots. Timelines seem to follow a certain trail that starts before the 2016 campaign with a lot of stops between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign, campaign officials, Trump and company, Trump and family.
If you were let’s say an agent for Putin, and you wanted to be able to conduct a campaign to discredit Hillary Clinton, who Putin despises and accuses of trying to undermine his rigged election, and you wanted to try to put a Putin loving puppet in the highest office in the United States, and make it sound and look like it was originating from the U.S., and you wanted to effectively target American citizens based on their beliefs, preferences, fears and weaknesses, you would need detailed information on those American citizens. Who would fit that profile, who would be able to fill that bill? Jared Kushner with his Stealth Data Machine, and Cambridge Analytica, both linked to the Trump campaign, and the alt-right cult culture and fake news syndicate revolving around Breitbart and donors. FAST FORWARD TO MARCH, 2018 Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica in major data breach
The DumbingOfAmerica brought to you by Fox News Cable and the religious right conservative media. Reagan called them “The Evil Empire”. Trump refuses to fully admit they committed an act of war, Cyber War, on our country, our Democracy, and our democratic process of election. I think Trump’s refusal to admit that Putin and the Kremlin threatened our sovereignty and assaulted our country makes him an accomplise, whether wittingliy or unwittingly is yet to be determined. Fox News Cable, being one of Putin’s “useful idiots” who propagated the Kremlin’s #FakeNews plants and now helping Trump to convice his base that Putin is a good guy makes them complicit accomplices in Putin’s attack on our country.
Yes confirmed. Some committee members showed frustration as to how this could happen or continue to happen since it was known early that there was interference in our elections from Putin. You can start with the indifference and denial from Republican lawmakers regarding the #TrumpRussia issue. Also is the complicity of some GOP Super PACs such as Paul Ryan’s Congressional Leadership Fund who were using Russian hacked information as a tool to effect the outcome of State and local down ballots. They were in effect “useful idiots” and pawns in Putin’s successful attempt to undermine our democratic process. Those GOP lawmakers who led the unprecedented attack and smear campaign against the Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton would not have benefitted from an open condemnation and investigation into any alleged Russian hacking either. On the contrary they were more like silent partners; add to that partnership the pro-Trump Bannon led alt-right nationalist and conservative fake news network, dark money from the Mercers, Kochs and others, and you have the perfect partnership to enact a coup to place pro-Putin puppets, or those who will look the other way, into office.
Hannity is by far the bottom most sludge at the bottom of the outhouse. There are many conspiracy theories out there but if there was one that made any sense it would be that perhaps there was someone who would want to silence somebody who could implicate their involvment, not for revenge or to prevent more leaks. Where would you look? Well if the Russians were behind the leaks, toward the Kremlin. If it was the GOP behind getting the information then the RNC or even among the TheoFascionalist party itself.
With the Russian Embassy’s post it is evident they are trying to stir up a dialoge, problably to get the conspiracy theorists all in a buzz to distract from the #TrumpRussia investigations and as they did in their successful attempt to undermine our democratic process and put an incompetent puppet into the White House, they are soliciting the unwitting participation of the “useful idiots” of Putin like Hannity and all the trash media sources listed in the article.
