I don't give a shit. Fuck the left, fuck the FBI, and fuck the DOJ.
Just cherrypicking bullshit to distract from their own crimes. More "Russian Collusion". THEY are the enemy, their accusations mean fuck-all to me. |

Interesting that this story came out around the same time that it was discovered a Chinese Operative was working for the Governor of New York.
Did this Ryan guy cover that story as well? |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_Who_Cried_Wolf
The moral stated at the end of the Greek version is, "this shows how liars are rewarded: even if they tell the truth, no one believes them". It echoes a statement attributed to Aristotle by Diogenes Laërtius in his The Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers, in which the sage was asked what those who tell lies gain by it and he answered "that when they speak truth they are not believed".[7] William Caxton similarly closes his version with the remark that "men bileve not lyghtly hym whiche is knowen for a lyer".  However, when dealing with the moral behaviour of adults, Samuel Croxall asks, referencing political alarmism, "when we are alarmed with imaginary dangers in respect of the public, till the cry grows quite stale and threadbare, how can it be expected we should know when to guard ourselves against real ones?"[12] |

From what I've gathered, the "russian" angle was that they were just badmouthing Ukraine? And somehow their company also had a russian investor? That's the coincidence? That's the problem?
Ukraine sucks just like Russia does. I don't see how this is a crime or a huge deal. |

My take is some of these "conservative" sounding people tend to be anti Ukraine war support. Not that they necessarily agree with what's happening in Ukraine but like many why are we spending $$$$ there? There are mixed ideas of Ukraine war support. I think some still hold on to the Ukraine that was financing the Bidens and basically seen as corrupt and think they brought the Russian invasion on themselves. Has Ukraine changed any? Less corrupt now????? And then there's the side who support blowing the Russians out of the water.
So I think those conservative sounding ones pushing the stay out of the war narrative are being attacked by Ukraine itself. United24 is a Ukraine organization. |

Timcast has one person on their payroll (Cassandra Fairbanks) who used to work for RT... Therefore Russian shill. Got it.
The metric for many of these people is that if you aren't 100% for US taxpayer funding, military equipment, and possibly even US servicemen being sent to Ukraine, you're a Russian. |

Remember the hub bub about Russia funding the NRA? And then finding out it was like a dozen Russians or Americans living in Russia giving like a grand total through membership dues?
If you uncritically eat this shit up, you're the problem. I expect liberals and the mainstream media to lie and smear - and I also expect those on 'our side' to somewhat learn after the 50th incident. |

We have our own echo chambers for the propaganda to bounce around in. I suspect the right is often agitated and spun up by propaganda in order to make us look more dangerous or crazy. Helps the left to further polarize against us and dismiss our viewpoints. |

She's a If I recall correctly, the entire thing was about promoting pro gun stuff. I don't have a problem with the NRA supporting pro gun movements in Russia, or the UK, or wherever ETA: Someone else phrased it better than I am: making a big deal about "giving money to people to do what they already were doing" because they're Russian. If they're not allowed to give money, fine go after them for that. But the strong implication is that these various conservative causes are being directed / bought and paid for by Russian money when it's simply not true. |

A lot of folks don't realize that information warfare is a thing, it has soldiers and tactics. It's just another tool to gain an edge. If the US stopped supplying Ukraine it'd be a huge edge for Russia. They can't destroy us ships or factories, but they don't need to. Just make support for Ukraine to unpopular. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What are Ryan Mcbeth's creds besides former NCO intel guy? Is that it? Regardless of the Tenet issue, McBeth's sudden stardom is very interesting. He went from a obscure guy making job interview tips videos pre 2022 that most of the time barely broke 4k views with what I imagine was an even lower subscribers number. To a guy suddenly doing war analysis, and disinfo ops videos raking up a couple high thousand view videos with an insanely high subscriber count. And all while some how making the rounds on other more well known youtube podcasts that align more or less with the right. |

From what I can tell, the people highlighted, the "conservative influencers" were not influenced at all by whatever this is. The DOJ indictment has them as "victims" not accomplices.
Tim Pool did a segment on it and is nonplussed about it. One of his video segments is on Tenet's channel, but his main stuff, Timcast IRL is on his own channel. He has never been asked by Tenet to support any particular position. So it kinda seems like for the several independent media personalities, they were not being influenced by mUh rUsSiA rUsSiA rUsSiA!! |
