"Russia and other adversaries may not need to hack the election if they can hack something else: our minds."
From The Washington Post. Democracy Dies in Darkness.
To be clear, this is not just some insane rando who they allowed a spot in their Opinion section. This is bat shit crazy article is by the Washington Post editorial board. washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-u…
THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING YOU FUCKING LUNATICS
Very, very high-profile journalists have been writing conspiratorial false stories about Russian influence for years you fucking lunatics.
The entire mass media have been doing this for four years, completely of their own volition.
They're just gonna do this. They're just gonna talk about the environment of paranoia and hysteria about Russia as though they themselves did not actively and deliberately create it.
WaPo Publishes Paranoid Screed Cautioning Readers Not To Let Russia Make Them Paranoid
“Russia and other adversaries may not need to hack the election if they can hack something else: our minds,” writes the Washington Post editorial board. medium.com/@caityjohnston…
So begins a crazy, paranoid Washington Post editorial titled “The U.S. may be safe from foreign interference in this election. But what about perception hacking?”, cautioning readers not to let Russia make them crazy and paranoid.
“Perception hacking”. Apparently term this is the latest fad for the elite liberal commentariat in the category of noises one can make with one’s face in order to sound well-informed about Russian influence operations, from the same line as “kompromat”.
All Russiagate Did Was Advance Pre-Existing Agendas Of The Same Spy Agencies Who Started It
"It was started by the same spy agencies which directly benefited from it. Unless you were born yesterday, this will tell you that we've been conned." medium.com/@caityjohnston…
One of the interesting stories that has gotten lost in the shuffle over Trump's recent Covid-19 diagnosis is the recent allegation that CIA director Gina Haspel has been personally blocking the declassification of documents about Russiagate's origins.
Davis’ claim may be true or false, but it’s worth earmarking for later reference given that we already know that longtime CIA insider Haspel has been actively persuading the US president to roll out cold war escalations against Russia, independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
Response To Trump Covid Diagnosis Shows His ‘Opposition’ Always Saw Him As Part Of The Club
"If you ever had any doubt that Democrats will one day regard Trump the way they now regard George W Bush, you can set that doubt aside." medium.com/@caityjohnston…
The Joe Biden campaign is reportedly taking down all negative ads against the US president due to his recent positive test for Covid-19, despite no indication from the Trump campaign that it intends to do the same.
This would be the same Trump that Dem politicians and pundits have been assuring us is both a Russian agent who is trying to destroy America on orders of Vladimir Putin, and a white nationalist who is trying to eliminate minorities from the US to create a white ethnostate.
The Idiotic Claim That Other Nations Are ‘Disrupting The Public Conversation’ On US Politics
"The idea that any of this could have any effect worth mentioning on the gibbering vortex of irrational vitriol that is US political discourse makes no sense" medium.com/@caityjohnston…
Twitter claims that it has suspended 130 Iranian accounts for “attempting to disrupt the public conversation” during the US presidential debate.
This evidence-free claim aligns with the narrative popularized by Russiagate that foreign governments seek to “sow discord” in the United States by amplifying controversial political opinions from both sides of mainstream US discourse, and it is idiotic for a number of reasons.
Other countries have every right to influence US political discourse, especially in nations like Iran. US politics affect Iranians more than they affect Americans.
When you've got monopolistic tech giants who are aligned with the US government censoring nations targeted by the US government under instructions from US government agencies, what you have is government censorship. There is no other rational label for it.
Russia Could Never Discredit The US Empire The Way These Guys Just Did
"Well.
Wow.
I mean, wow.
So in case you missed it, the first US presidential debate was everything the US empire deserves and a fair reflection of everything the US empire is." medium.com/@caityjohnston…
If Vladimir Putin were every bit the election-meddling demon the Democrats say he is, he could not have designed propaganda against the US empire more effective than the performance that was just delivered by Trump and Biden if he had unlimited time and resources to do so.
