🤡🤡🤡Journalists. Check your sources--especially Russian sources. Troll alert. Thread on @nytimes article in which the NYT gets trolled by USAReally. 👇👇👇
1. On September 25, 2018, @nytimes published an article called "s a New Russian Meddling Tactic Hiding in Plain Sight?" nytimes.com/2018/09/25/tec…
2. Many thanks to Kevin Roose who covered the topic (I have contacted several mainstream publications journalists in May 2018 sending the information and not one bothered to pay any attention.)
3. However, fact-checking is critical. The title image is that of the USAReally Alexander Malkovich wearing a t-shirt with a Russian phrase translated by the NYT "Motherland is listening."
4. It is a wrong translation and it is important and this why. 1. "Motherland hears, motherland knows" are the well-known and immediately recognizable lines from a song composed by Dmitry Shostakovich with lyrics infamously associated with the KGB. ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A0%D0…
5. Lyrics: Motherland hears, Motherland knows, Where in the clouds is flying her son. With a friendly caress and gentle love, it is watching after you with its scarlet stars of the Moscow towers, of the Kremlin towers......Whatever happens, stay unbreakable, comrade."
6. The t-shirt is a non-verbal message. Here is Malkevich parading two other t-shirts on Trump's birthday in front of the WH. "I am playing my accordion on a plain sight of the passer-byes" is another quote from a well-known song. media4.s-nbcnews.com/j/newscms/2018…
6.1. The song is that of Cheburashka, a cartoon character, and the t-shirt is a portrait of Che Guevara, a known guerilla leader.
6.2. Here is another one, the same day, birthday of Trump. Same caption: I am playing my accordion in a plain sight... …otingthemessenger.files.wordpress.com/2018/06/alexan…
7. Malkevich is, obviously, not an innocent musical critic. Here is his thesis, in a form of a book available on Amazon, called "Organization and Carrying out Campaigns in the Public Relations Field."amazon.com/Organizatsiya-…
7.1. and another one amazon.com/Organizatsiya-…
8. The US journalists and politicians make a mistake of not doing their homework. When Hillary Clinton gave the Foreign Minister of Russia a symbolic gift it read "overload" instead of "reset" button.
9. Time to start doing homework. Or, the world will keep laughing and thugs from a dirty backyard back in Leningrad will take over this country. And yes, I am angry. There is no reason for this stupidity. All you have to do is ask and look around. Wake the fuck up, America.
10. This "research" took 15 min. If I took 3 hours I would be tweeting you 100-tweet long thread on Malkevich and his ties to the rest of the jolly clown team. Here is his colleague Anna Danilova and her opus on how to manipulate YOUR consciousness. medium.com/@ZarinaZabrisk…
11. These people are political technologists, a profession that does not exist in the US. Next time you write about this please inquire with a person familiar with the subject. Or face the consequences. Being a laughingstock of the world is not the worst of them, by the way.
11a. Here is the first article on the hybrid war attack I wrote in April 2015. It includes the piece on trolling and "postmodernist smirk" that has to be recognized by September 2018. medium.com/@ZarinaZabrisk…
