🚨🚨Religious Right openly invites Russian propaganda to fill American minds for 2020 >> Kansas City radio station agrees to broadcast Russia's state-owned propaganda media Sputnik Radio "to tell you the things that the liberal media wont (sic)" kansascity.com/news/local/art…
Russia's 'Sputnik Radio' now airs daily during prime morning drive time in Kansas City. Now actual Kremlin propaganda can start your day of far-right extremist demagoguery (Michael Savage) & disinformation ("TruNews"). And end your day with religious programming "The Rosary."
KCXL radio's far-right extremism makes it prime host for Russia's propaganda: "America is a very different country than it used to be… Now, we are a country that looks down upon traditional values. We are a country that puts its citizens second to citizens of other countries."
On Sunday mornings 'Sputnik Radio'—a Russian govt project to divide & weaken our country by spreading propaganda—airs right before 'The Jesus Christ Show' on Kansas City's KCXL 1140 AM, 102.9 FM, and 104.7, another Christian radio station in Missouri.
'Sputnik Radio' is part of Russia's information warfare on America & American values. Russia targets & finds welcoming hosts at far-right Christian radio stations like Kansas City's KCXL, already broadcasting a mix of demagoguery & disinformation, including Infowar's Alex Jones.
As I wrote in 2016, right-wing radio is a powerful propaganda tool. It's cheap & literally everywhere—even in liberal areas of the country: "It greets us where we are, in our cars and in our homes with highly inflammatory anti-liberal political rhetoric." eastwestblog.net/2016/10/24/tru…
3/6 tweets are missing in my thread on the Kansas City Christian radio station broadcasting Sputnik—Russia's propaganda project to divide us. I'm retweeting below.

(4) Sputnik airs on Sunday morning, traditional time for religious programming, right before "Jesus Christ Show"
(Broken THREAD con't)

(5) Russia's information warfare propaganda project 'Sputnik Radio" finds a home on Christian Right radio in Kansas City, Missouri, already broadcasting a mix of demagoguery & disinformation, including InfoWars' Alex Jones.
(Broken THREAD con't)

(6) Right wing radio is a powerful propaganda tool for Republicans, spreading demagoguery & culture wars division for decades. As I've written, it paved the road to Trump, & gave Putin an opportunity to exploit in 2016. And in 2020 w/ Sputnik in Kansas City

#ImpeachmentTrial manager & war veteran @JasonCrowCO6 reminds Senators that THEY voted for the defense aid that Trump withheld illegally. THEY should want to see OMB & DOD documents to know why. He also debunks that the hold didn't harm #Ukraine, citing war reporter Sergei Loiko.
@JasonCrowCO6 Here's a link to the article Jason Crow cited from #Ukraine war correspondent Sergei Loiko on how Trump’s ‘favor’ and delay of aid weakened Ukraine in its fight against #Russia. As a war veteran, Crow gets how important equipment & morale are.
@JasonCrowCO6 Perhaps the most brutal piece on the war in Ukraine, as Trump delayed military aid, is this ⬇️from @ChristopherJM.

Trump defenders' claim that no harm was done to Ukraine is false & cruel. Trump toying w/ a vulnerable ally at war is nothing short of betrayal.

😇Dershowitz 2020: Impeachable offense can’t be abuse of power, must be criminal
😂Dersh 1998: It certainly doesn’t have to be a crime. If POTUS corrupts the office, abuses trust…you don’t need a crime. If in acts of state, goes behind Congress’ back, lies repeatedly to public✅
Trump's star lawyer Dershowitz: "I wasn't wrong then. I'm just far more correct now."

For asking about his flip flop on abuse of power as impeachable offense, @AlanDersh called CNN @andersoncooper & legal analyst @JeffreyToobin "nitpicking" "bullies."

That went well! 😂
#ac360
@AlanDersh @andersoncooper @JeffreyToobin 🎯‼@Tribelaw: It's sad the country pays attention to ludicrous arguments (about impeachable offenses & executive privilege) from Alan Dershowitz. It's b/c he's a FoxNews regular. The constitution & the country is at stake, and he's just selling out to be in the spotlight. #AC360

🤯“Manu, you’re a liberal hack. I’m not talking to you.” That’s Arizona’s unelected senator @SenMcSallyAZ dripping w/ fear & loathing, choosing to smear veteran @CNN reporter @mkraju, to avoid answering his question about #impeachment trial evidence. Sad.
There’s so much awful in @SenMcSallyAZ’s attack on @CNN reporter Manu Raju, but what’s striking to me is how she calls him by his name, while refusing to even look at him, during her walk-by smear. It’s as if she’s a nasty Twitter troll who thinks it’s fine to demean & intimidate
@SenMcSallyAZ @CNN I agree, Arizona voter. Republican Senators have 1 last chance to show they serve the PUBLIC—not the GOP or the president—in this profoundly serious impeachment trial. Choosing party & Trump over facts & country is a death blow to our democracy. Blood will be on GOP hands forever

☢️ The Biggest Nuclear Scandal You’ve Never Heard Of ☢️

Since this was tweeted, the #Obama admin ended the #MegatonsToMegawatts program, disincentivizing #Russia from decommissioning its #nuclear stockpiles, limiting our primary source of imported #uranium.

The company that…
… tweeted this — @USEC_Inc, our only private sector domestic enricher — then went bankrupt after repeated adverse rulings by @BarackObama’s @ENERGY Dept. that prevented them from building new reprocessing/enrichment facilities.

But wait, there’s more…
… here’s the kicker: Dep. Sec. of #Energy Dan #Poneman parachuted from his cushy gov’t career to becoming President & CEO of the company after it emerged from bankruptcy as @Centrus_Energy. Then #Centrus signed a big agreement with #Russia’s state-owned energy giant, #Rosatom…

Russia has built a national infrastructure for Internet censorship based on commodity DPI hardware deployed at thousands of ISPs across the country. We, @CensoredPlanet, fear other nations with similar network topologies will follow Russia’s blueprint. #russia #censorship (1/9)
@CensoredPlanet To study the rise of decentralized information control, we performed an in-depth investigation of the mechanisms underlying censorship in Russia. Our detailed report is here: censoredplanet.org/russia.
Here are some key takeaways: (2/9)
@CensoredPlanet We collaborated Russian activists and obtained five leaked snapshots of Russia’s blocklist, which is distributed to ISPs by Roskomnadzor, the government authority in charge of nationwide censorship that maintains this real-time authoritative blocklist. (3/9)

#Russia's state TV sets out to disprove the Kremlin's involvement in the #YellowVests protests by asserting that Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev is "not linked to the government" and bringing on Xavier Moreau— the founder of the Kremlin's propaganda outlet in #France. ©️
Moreau says he is proud to be a citizen of the greatest country in the world [he is a dual citizen of France and Russia] takes the flag of "DPR" [Russia's fake "republic" in #Ukraine] out of his pocket, says he wouldn't mind if the Kremlin sent him money [then adds it's a joke].

#Russia's state TV reports that an unnamed high-level White House source quietly told the Russians that the number of Russian diplomats in the U.S. is not being cut (they can send 60 other diplomats to replace the ones being expelled). They quote the source: "The doors are open."
