  1. Trump-Regierung erteilt mutmaßlicher russischer Propagandistin erneut US-Visum
    Zum Ende der ersten Staffel der Trump-Regierungsrückkehr rückt das Team erneut Personen aus dem politischen Randbereich in den Mittelpunkt. Laut einem Be

  2. So the Trump administration grants Lauren Chen, who was found guilty of laundering over $10M illegally from Russia to buy right-wing media influencers to favour Russian narratives, a visa? 😲

    Corruption to aid a foreign adversary in war apparently gets you a thumbs up from Donald Trump’s FBI & CIA. Oh yeah.. Because it was ”Biden’s fault”. 🤦‍♂️

    It truly isn’t the world I was born into anymore.. 🥶

  3. MAGA #chudfluencers are moving on from "the #Nokings protests were fake" to "the #NoKings protests are a call for mass murder"

    remember Benny Johnson is one of the most widely followed chuds in the entire world. he has one of the biggest channels on #YouTube. and of course he also admitted receiving a ton of money directly from #Russia in the #TenetMedia scandal and got fired from multiple mainstream news outlets for being a rampant #plagiarist prior to his #fascist turn.

    (he's also almost certainly a closeted homosexual but that's beyond the scope of this post)

  4. #JamesComer's reason for thinking his opponent was laundering money via #ActBlue is because "she couldn't possibly have won in his district".

    1. there are no criminal charges, just congressional subpoenas

    2. that said, this is still out and out fascism that is aimed at dismantling the democratic party's financial infrastructure

    Probably also a good time to remember that #BennyJohnson is one of the #TenetMedia crew who was proven to be taking millions of dollars directly from #Russia / #VladimirPutin (even if unknowingly).

  5. Documents unsealed by #DOJ regarding #Putin's “Good Old USA” propaganda campaign to convince americans to stop supporting #Ukraine are.... concerning.

    (spoiler alert: it worked great, and anti #DEI rhetoric was a big part of it)

  6. @kevinrothrock what we've actually seen 100% confirmed of russian disinfo (e.g. #TenetMedia) has been clunky as fuck. it feels increasingly likely to me that the disinfo is coming from inside the house, and then russia is trying in an amateurish way to amplify the disinfo they like. (ofc it's possible there's far more skilled operations going on that have not been caught, but the things that have been caught have been almost like bad caricatures of RuSsIaN DiSiNfOrMaTiOn)

    the real problem is that people are monkeys that can't parse evidence. at least 80% of americans have no idea wtf is going on in the world around them (i base this number on the fact that 80% of americans approved of the iraq war while 20% of americans approved of martin luther king while he was alive).

  7. @bennjordan is easily one of my favorite :youtube: creators.

    His latest just dropped: "How X Bots Work"

    He brings us back to the ol’ 🇷🇺 Internet Research Agency Troll Farm,

    And then brings us to present day, how Russian troll farms run CSAM-filled #Telegram channels.

    🌟 Bonus: as a sweet little coda that I feel like the folk here will appreciate, in the final minute of the video, Benn uses a software tool to delete every post from his 15-year-old, 27k follower Twitter account.

  8. "It’s been a rough couple of weeks to be a #Canadian #farright influencer.

    According to a September 4 indictment filed by the #USA #DepartmentofJustice, two employees of #Russian state broadcaster RT, which has been banned in #Canada since #Russia invaded #Ukraine in February 2022, knowingly laundered $10 million in #Kremlin funding to pay contributors of Tennessee-based #TenetMedia through Canadian far-right #influencer Lauren Chen and her husband, Liam Donovan."

  9. "'Today marks two weeks since I submitted the invoice for August. Any idea for the delay? We are signing the large contracts and need to be certain we will get the funding to pay these people.' [Russian operative alias] did not immediately respond. While awaiting a reply from [Russian operative alias], [willing dupe/asset in place] searched for the then-current time in Moscow."

    Yeah, they knew the Russians were paying them.

  11. US foreign agent rules can’t keep pace with #RussianPropaganda

    US legal actions targeting Russian influence network last week exposed shortcomings in laws to tackle malign influence of foreign agents

    Justice Department indicted Kalashnikov & Afanasyeva, RT employees, for violating foreign agent & #MoneyLaundering laws funding news network from LLC called #TenetMedia

  12. Jake Broe states that followers of his channel who know some of the #tenetmedia youtubers personally, have come forward to tell him that in private conversations about where the money had been coming from, they knew it was from #russia.

  13. @w7voa the video putin propagandist/plagiarist #BennyJohnson of #TenetMedia posted to "prove" there was a bunch of cats being eaten is amazing. hard to decide if the best part is the fact that it more or less disproves the thesis or the fact that the only person on board with the cat eating opens the video by calling haitians "worthless sand monkeys"

  14. «When a handful of employees at RT, the Russian state television network formerly known as Russia Today, allegedly offered to provide lucrative payments to the talking heads of Tenet Media, a Tennessee-based far-right influencer team, borrowing boats to reach the sea was exactly what they had in mind.»

  15. It pays well to be a useful idiot:

    "None of these right-wingers seemed especially hard to buy. None of them questioned why they were being asked to push pro-Putin content. None of them proved too principled to go along with the scheme. It raises the question: When it comes to the American right’s friendliness to Russia, how much is organic – born of Donald Trump’s love for right-wing dictators because he yearns to be one of them – and how much is astroturf – purchased by Russian rubles and amplified by conservative pundits who’ll say anything they’re told to say for money?"

  16. "an ongoing [Russian] influence effort, including one focused on #SocialMedia content.

    Unsurprisingly, both efforts aligned with America’s #political right. The company appears to have been #TenetMedia, which published #videos from popular right-wing commentators such as #TimPool and #BennyJohnson. The documentation for the broader influence effort, referred to as #Doppelganger, explicitly indicates an effort to aid #Republicans and the right"

  17. This #TenetMedia story is going to do a ton of work allowing every perspective that doesn't agree with the Democratic party to be dismissed by "polite society". Please don't. #LiberalValues demand that we weigh all claims and arguments in good faith and with the same standards.

  18. David Sacks (the most famous pro-Russia, pro-Trump tech/crypto bro and all around douchebag) removed a Dave Rubin (general shithead but also now with #TenetMedia / #Russia connections) company #Locals (which I guess was bought by #Rumble? not sure) from his #CraftVentures site:

  20. Here’s What Right-Wing #Influencers Actually Talked About in #TenetMedia Videos Allegedly Financed by #Russia

    A WIRED analysis shows that right-wing stars like #TimPool and #BennyJohnson focused on topics like #ElonMusk and supposed #racism toward white people in hundreds of videos allegedly paid for by Russia.

  22. LOL...the #tenetmedia deal was so shady #sebgorka turned it down.

    I didn't think anything was too shady for him.

  23. How do you live down finding out you were an actual real-life useful idiot. You have to go the rest of your life knowing another country sat down and had meetings about how stupid you are. They all got around a table and voted and said "Yeah they're fucking dumb, let's use them"

  24. criminal prosecution activity is really none of my business, but the #tenetmedia stuff is pretty funny.
    some of the most shameless grifters and smirking fascist propagandists in recent history whose best option here is to plead abject stupidity (more accurately than they'd like to pretend tbh).

    #TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Trump's Transition Team Is Tethered To Thievery (And Worse)

    How is it that money managed by the chair of Trump's transition team keeps showing up in the hands of drug cartels, terrorists, and fraudsters?

    This is a "follow the money" deep dive into how Howard Lutnick manages roughly $100 billion for #Tether. Together they've created an offshore legal fiction by which neither bears any responsibility if that money ends up in the hands of sanctioned countries like #Iran or #NorthKorea or international criminal organizations like #PigButchering frauds and weapons markets.

    Which is exactly where it ends up pretty much constantly.

    For bonus points $40 billion of those dollars came from Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX.

  29. the #Israel section of the #Russian "Foreign Malign Influence Project" document included in the #InfluencerGate indictment (link 👆) calls #Netanyahu a "friend of #Putin" and discusses using the situation in the #MiddleEast as a lever in the #2024Election

  30. hard not to wonder if United Texas Bank, the bank that got a cease & desist order dropped on them today for failing to maintain adequate money laundering controls and also happened to work with #cryptocurrency companies, is involved in the #InfluencerGate situation..

  31. re: #InfluencerGate

    even if tim pool and benny johnson were just morons who had no idea they had become #russian assets (doubtful) the indictment is pretty clear that lauren chen is 100% a russian asset.

    she's appeared on a who's who of right wing media: Fox News, BlazeTV, RT, OANN, #Newsmax, The Daily Wire, Rebel Media, #PragerU and The Rubin Report.

    an interesting twist is that recently #LaurenChen had kind of gone batshit anti-trump. she also had a big "repeal the 19th amendment" phase. some folks are claiming that means she was a plant to damage the right. all i can think of is that KGB quote "our brand is chaos".

    worth at least seeing Chen's anti-trump tweets: x.com/stclairashley/status/183
