The ignominious list of countries where allies of the president allegedly threaten to do this sort of thing to owners of media companies now apparently includes the United States.

Read every word. ⬇️
Just to put this report in the proper context:

Azerbaijan, ranked 163rd on the press freedom index, was recently fined for a government-linked revenge porn scandal of its own. The victimized journalist received the blackmail letter from a Moscow address. courthousenews.com/azerbaijan-cen…
This sort of thing happens routinely in authoritarian regimes. So, take it seriously.
Time to revisit the AMI non-prosecution agreement in full. justice.gov/usao-sdny/pres…

One of Witt's co-defendants, Iranian cyberwarrior Behzad Mesri, was charged with hacking into HBO and leaking unaired episodes of "Game of Thrones" in 2017. This one charges him with a different hack.

Background on that earlier one: courthousenews.com/hbo-hack-targe…
And @NatashaBertrand is right: The indictment's details are wild.

Here's one of the messages it quotes Witt writing to her Iranian handler: "If all else fails, I may just go public with a program and do like Snowden :) " justice.gov/opa/press-rele…
After complaining about the Iranian govt's suspicion, Witt allegedly wrote: "I just hope I have better luck with Russia at this point."

"I think I can slip into Russia quietly if they help me and then I can contact wikileaks from there," she allegedly wrote two days later.

Even you know the difference between accusing Soros of:

* charity to help migrants (a good thing).

* sending migrants to the U.S. border around midterms to subvert the elections (a vile smear).

Btw, do you still think “the Crusades need to come back”? money.cnn.com/2017/06/04/med…
This is a right-wing talking point to excuse demagogic conspiracy theories about George Soros.

Yes, Soros funds charity. But the belief that Jewish philanthropists organized a U.S. migrant “invasion” is the apparent motive behind the worst anti-Jewish massacre in U.S. history.
Time to revisit this article. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Tough break.
ICYMI: This is the deal that the accused Russian troll farm would have preferred from the Special Counsel: the Skadden Arps treatment. courthousenews.com/skadden-arps-s…

@StrategyBin
06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.
