Is there a cliffs notes?

We know Tim pool was paid $100,000 a week to spew Russian propaganda to his 2 million followers. But there were at least 800 more conservative social media folks that were on the Russian payroll.

Now we know where all those BS narratives come from on average joes Facebook feed

A few days ago, Motty posted a video and wrote "here is what I have against them". The video appeared to show a MAGA woman being attacked by a bunch of libbies, but was later shown to be faked by Russian influencers. The video only showed them yelling while lightly tapping her shoes. It was staged.

I can't tell you how many millions of Americans believe this video is rea ...[text shortened]... rticle/russian-interference-presidential-election-influencers-trump-999435273dd39edf7468c6aa34fad5dd

Somehow it’s a crime when Russia does it to us, but good 'information ops' when we want to discredit Beijing’s Belt & Road initiatives worldwide.

Cool. But also...

Prominent right wing personalities with millions of followers and page views are being paid $100000 a week to post Russian propaganda.

This is where the pet eating lies come from.

Election Meddling! Zelensky Stumps For Harris On Taxpayer Dime

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/zelensky-uses-us-trip-attack-jd-vance

During his first day in a busy week traveling in the US, Ukraine's President Zelensky was in Pennsylvania on Sunday. He was flown there on a US Air Force C-17. This unusual arrangement is of course courtesy of American taxpayers, and it looks like the Pentagon and Secret Service are sparing no expense.

Policy consultant Dan Caldwell has pointed out at a moment that Zelensky has attacked Trump's running mate Sen. JD Vance in the pages of The New Yorker that "The Biden-Harris admin is using military assets to fly a foreign leader into a battleground state in order to undermine their political opponents."

This is a scandal which the mainstream media is dutifully ignoring. Joe Lonsdale, Palantir co-founder and 8VC founding partner, has commented that this is a big, big deal. "Team Kamala is so concerned about Pennsylvania, they’re using military assets to fly in Zelensky to campaign!"

John Kirby, the White House's national security communications adviser, said Putin "shouldn't be favoring anybody one way or another."

"The only people who should get to determine who the next president of the United States is, is the American people," he told reporters, according to a White House statement.

Kirby forgot to say "except Ukraine and Israel". Not those foreigners. That election meddling is welcome.

You can whatabout all day, but I only started this thread to point out that that most popular online voices in conservative circles are being paid by Russia to publish pro-Russia propaganda.

Back in the day we used to require disclosures. So if you're a news guy and you say something nice about Ford because Ford pays you, you have to tell people that's why you said those things.

Tim pool, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin each got millions of dollars. There are many instances in which the stuff these guys said ended up being used as talking points for news shows and stories about Russia

What is wrong with Russians trying to sway people to vote one way or another?
You do that yourself. So do I.
We don't try to sway the result of Russian elections.

I don't do that and neither do you.

That is the difference.
