What messages did Russia, Turkey, China, and Iran spread in Germany in June? @kristineberz, @blutguth, and David Metzger explain in their latest analysis of data from our 2021 German Elections Dashboard. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/between-messag…
Russian state-backed media covered the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt. These tweets
👉negatively portrayed the election, as well as German media outlets' coverage of it
👉attempted to stoke East-West divisions
👉echoed AfD supporters' claims of election fraud
Russian state-backed media also
👉criticized the 3 chancellor candidates, especially Green candidate Annalena Baerbock
👉negatively portrayed LBGTQ+ issues
👉criticized NATO's policies towards Ukraine
👉focused on progress and praise for Nord Stream 2
Turkish state-backed outlet TRT Deutsch highlighted meetings between Turkish President Erdoğan and German Chancellor Merkel and US President Biden at the NATO summit. Turkish accounts also focused on Islamophobia and anti-Islamic crimes in western countries throughout June
Chinese accounts continued to focus on domestic affairs, paying particular attention to the CCP's 100th anniversary and attempting to paint Xinjiang in a positive light to refute allegations of genocide
In June, Iranian state-backed accounts mostly focused on the Iranian presidential elections held on June 18 and stuck to topics related to Iran’s interests. Most tweets focused on vote casting at the Iranian Embassy and consulates in Germany
Germany’s key political and economic role in Europe and beyond means that there is also a lot at stake for countries such as Russia, China, Turkey, and Iran in Germany’s federal election in September. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/between-messag…

U.S. missiles

Putin’s threat that Russia would hit targets in Ukraine “that we have not yet attacked” if Kyiv receives long-range missiles from the United States. Russian messengers claimed Ukraine was planning to hit Russia with U.S. weapons and threatened 🇺🇦's allies.
Food Crisis 🥕

Russian diplomats and state media continued to deny responsibility for a global food crisis that experts say was sparked by Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, instead blaming the shortage on the Covid-19 pandemic, a Western media stunt, and Ukraine.

More than a year and a half after the US Capitol riot, the #January6thCommittee will hold its first public hearing this Thursday. Ahead of the hearing, ASD experts answer questions about January 6th, the Big Lie, and how they're impacting US democracy. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/qa-with-asd-ex…
What are the facts about the 2020 election?

"The nation’s top intelligence and law enforcement agencies confirmed that there was no evidence of significant interference or election fraud in 2020 and that the results were legitimate," @davidalanlevine says.
"The Big Lie narratives have been effective b/c they are grounded in national conversations about electoral integrity that preceded the 2020 election, & that created alarm and insecurities about the single greatest process that defines American democracy—free and fair elections."

As Russia continued its assault on Ukraine last week, it also continued to spread disinformation to try to convince the world that Russia is not to blame—and China's messaging largely followed that same line.

🧵of the main narratives we saw on Hamilton
securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/hamilton-topli…
☣️Bioweapons

Kremlin-linked accounts promoted new evidence to support their conspiracy around U.S.-funded bioweapon labs in Ukraine, though the number of tweets from Russian propagandists with the term “biological” dropped by 58 percent compared to the previous week.
🇨🇳China

Russian propagandists mentioned “China” or “Chinese” in more than 400 tweets as they insisted that Moscow and Beijing’s partnership was growing and amplified Chinese state messengers who criticized NATO and the United States.

Reorienting foreign aid to fight kleptocracy and strategic corruption—corrosive capital, malign influence, and election interference—calls for stronger methods that are more political and coordinated than classic development aid.

New report by @JoshRudes. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/development-re…
Kleptocracies don’t stop at their own borders. The same actors, networks, tactics, and resources that they wield to prevent democracy and rule of law from sprouting at home are also repurposed for foreign aggression.
While cronies and oligarchs get rich in the process, “strategic corruption” is a geopolitical weapon directed by autocratic regimes to undermine the sovereignty of other countries. Its top three manifestations vary in how directly and boldly they subvert democratic processes.

Starting tomorrow, President Biden will bring together leaders from 110 countries and governments for a virtual #SummitforDemocracy.

ASD experts lay out what to watch over the next two days. 🧵👇

#DemocracyDecember
securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/what-to-watch-…
Director @LauraLThornton will be looking out for several big picture things at the #SummitforDemocracy, including:

👉how inclusive the event is
👉how much the summit focuses on innovation and sharing solutions
👉how countries crafted their "commitments"
If handled carefully, the #SummitforDemocracy could tighten relationships based on shared values, but if handled poorly, it could prove divisive. "The messaging will have to be perfect if the Biden team is to walk this tightrope successfully," @ZackCooper says.

Starting soon! Join us!
Just yesterday, the US government released its first ever strategy to combat corruption and kleptocracy. And in the last hour, Treasury has released new regulations on beneficial ownership.

Our panelists will break down what this means over the next hour!
"American law firms have really transformed into what I describe as 'first among equals,'" @cjcmichel says, referring to enablers of malign finance. "They're attempting to cloak so much of this under the guise of attorney-client privilege."
