#Trump just pulled another dog whistle by claiming fake victory and fake fraud. Russians already called his victory and paved the “fraud” 👇🏼Beware of lawlessness.
His base is agitated and ready. We need to be aware that we are in the dictatorship/military coup zone.
And here is the cherry on top—Republicans file a lawsuit aimed at mail-in ballots in PA. As planned, see ☝🏼lawandcrime.com/2020-election/…
Meanwhile, Russia Today (RT), the Kremlin funded mass media, is supporting Trump’s line. Trolls online are amplifying it on social media, reinforcing “stop the steal” narrative, weaponizing Trump supporters’ anger
Trump echoes this line, as predicted, creating more unrest and potential violence
Proud Boys claim being stabbed by BLM, Russia Today (RT), the Kremlin-funded mass media outlet, pushes the story, continuing to shape the “violent left” narrative and creating further discord and confusion.
New complication: USPS failed to deliver hundreds of thousands mail-in ballots around the country.
Neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups, including this, 👇 were actively attacking communities around the US in 2017 already. It is critical to see them in context: Trump and the Kremlin back them up. A short thread. 👇
September 24, 2017. A group of about thirty neo-Nazis in white polo shirts, khaki pants and white bandannas covering their faces assembled in front of the community center, with a banner “For Race and Nation; Blood and Soil,” they gave Nazi salutes, lit flares.
Patriot Front, the group behind the attack, shares a rambling document called a “manifesto” on its website. “An African may have lived, worked, and even been classed as a citizen in America for centuries, yet he is not American." More here: medium.com/@ZarinaZabrisk…
#TrumpIsCompromised thread. 3. #Kavanaugh's appointment and 30 years of back to Russia and Ukraine (USSR, ahem) with the Federalist Society, Fellowship Foundation, The National Breakfast Prayer, Russian Orthodox Church, and Chabad involvement
Thread:#Biden NY Post is a Kremlin "deza": disinformation. This tactic has a long history. During the Cold War, the KGB HQs worldwide injected "deza" into the public information space via Western mass media, often obscure newrepublic.com/article/142344…
For instance, in 1964, a conspiracy theory about JFK assassinations was fabricated by Newsweek correspondent with the KGB help. In 1983, a small Indian newspaper started a rumor that the U.S. government manufactured the AIDS virus. cia.gov/library/center…
3. These days, newspapers, tabloids and social media are all weaponized and used to inject the message into the public space. A false accusation is produced, visceral images (visual/verbal) are used, often with graphic sexual content, as in the case with Hunter Biden's laptop.
👇🏼☄️💥#Giuliani and his 30+ years ties with Russian mob old but relevant thread 👇🏼 Plus sex scandal as Putin’s tool👇🏼👇🏼 thread below. #HunterBiden “scandal” is a trick called “Rotten Herring” 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
3. Even if the NYP “scoop” turns out to be a fake the readers will be influenced on a subconscious level: “rotten herring” tactic, read here 👇🏼 bylinetimes.com/2020/03/04/big…
#ElectionInterference is one of the topics for #debates. Experts focus on leaks, hacks and bots as seen in 2016, but the main threat is overlooked. Russia doesn't just meddle into elections and referendum around the world,” wrote Putin’s aide Surkov. It meddles with their brains.
"Russia meddles with their brains, and they don’t know what to do with this altered state of mind.” The Kremlin is waging information warfare: corroding the idea of democracy and planting new pro-Kremlin thinking. The battlefield is the brain.
The goal is sowing discord and confusion in order to demoralize the West. Words are a military arsenal. Language is a weapon of mass destruction of ideas. This is the war of narratives. Trump's and Kremlin's narrative: Democracy is dead and elections are rigged.
In 1995, Trump lost $916 million according to his 1995 income tax returns. In the early 1990s, he sustained loss due to failed projects like his three Atlantic City casinos, airline business and purchase of the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. nytimes.com/2016/10/02/us/…
In November 1996, Howard Lorber and Ben LeBow brought Trump to Moscow and arranged discussions about a joint venture between their Liggett-Ducat tobacco factory, Trump Organization and the city of Moscow with Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov known for his corrupt practices.
