This older French couple live out in the country and ❤️ to play piano.

They're also Bottom-of-the-Funnel COVID conspiracy customers: They've spent €1k to fund an investigative documentary on how global elites engineered COVID to control the people. Cha-ching!

PHEW! A stunning exchange:

Aude (@WTFake_): Do you think it's normal that @CarrefourFrance is funding disinformation sites?"

@CarrefourFrance exec: "I don't know what disinformation is and I don't know what you're talking about."

Someone should bring him up to speed?

This is the guy making the COVID conspiracy doc at one of his movie screenings. He tells the audience that 5,000 people contributed to the making of the film.

That's all you need, 5000 suckers who are down the rabbit hole and willing to pay anything for validation.

The founder/CEO of @Tipeee_Officiel (a French version of Patreon) are speaking too fast for me.

But they're facilitating tons of $$$ to conspiracy theorists across France so I can only imagine they're saying stupid shit here to try and smooth things over.

How do I go back to a time when I never watched Jim Hoft work out?

Jim Hoft (Gateway Pundit) says he considers Fox News a competitor. His website gets 2.5M visitors a day while Fox gets 2M viewers a night (depending on the show).

He receives 50M views per month and claims his numbers are going up while Fox's go down.

Gateway Pundit guy lives like this while 30,000 journalists are out of jobs and the news industry is in collapse.

This guy's name is "Jez" and his job is to follow Jim Hoft around the house and do things for him like change the channel and turn machines on and off.

Interviewer: "Would you say your work is based on facts?"
Jim Hoft: "Yes, but we're also opinion so we have facts and opinion, and our opinions are true."

oh my god ffs

Hoo boy, @WTFake_ is a firecracker:

Interviewer: "We checked a few stories on your site that say masks are totally ineffective, that Joe Biden's calling for jihad. Est-ce que c'est vrai? C'est correct?"

Jim Hoft: "Yes, I personally believe masks DO protect you...(cont'd)

"...and regarding your question about Joe Biden, I have no recollection of what Joe Biden says about Muslim people." 💀

After the Charlottesville rally, Jim Hoft published stories claiming the car attacker was this guy. It was obviously not, but the lies have wreaked havoc on his life - he had to seek police protection & suffers from depression.

Joel (pictured here) says Jim Hoft isn't afraid of repercussions. He made a shitton of money off his lies, while Joel is now forever associated with a crime he never committed.

*hands over a photo of Joel*

INTERVIEWER: "Do you know who this is?"
HOFT *quietly panicking*: "Ummm no...remind me..?"
INTERVIEWER: "You wrote an article saying this anti-Trump protester was the car attacker, Joel Vangheluwe."
HOFT: "Ohh yeah yeah yeahhh"

INTERVIEWER: Do you understand the impact of making false allegations?"
HOFT: Certainly I do, and we paid him of course and made a pretty big apology..right?"

INTERVIEWER: "Do you consider yourself to be in the business of disinformation?"
HOFT: *pauses* Uh no, not at all. There's no law against this, right? People have a right to say what they want, w/o being shut down by Google & FB. I'm not a NAZI...

HOFT (cont'd, and now extremely animated): "If we lose our freedom of speech, we lose what America stands for. At Gateway Pundit, we're at the tip of the spear [unintelligible to me]...KISS MY ASS, that's what I say!"

He ends the interview and ambles up the stairs calling for Jez lmao

Shortly after the interview, Gateway Pundit publishes a hit piece on @WTFake_ calling her a "pretty French honeypot" sent by the "globalists."

Lmao go straight to horny jail, Jim Hoft.

How much does Jim Hoft earn? One expert believes Gateway Pundit earns $200k a month through advertising revenues alone.

And let's get real. GP does not attract 50M visitors or views or whatever per month - much of his revenues are likely the result of *whispers* fraud.

THE EXPERT (Laurent Nicolas): These sites don't deserve advertising at all. They harm our politics, elections, the markets and the brands that end up associated with these sites."

(I think...he talked too fast)

Oh, actually he said: "Misinformation is a major societal problem that impacts public politics, élections and the ad buying market would do well to understand the negative effect they have on society by financing these sites."

Thank goodness for my translator @ToniCowanBrown!

Lmao they've brought a folder full of shitty ad placements to @PublicisGroupe, a global agency that works w/ F500 clients.

The rep leafs through them and says, let me put this in perspective. We serve millions of impressions and you've handed me this dinky little folder.

INTERVIEWER: Yeah..but there's prob more right?

@PublicisGroupe REP: "OK you dumb fucks. We serve billions of impressions everyday & unfortunately ads are going to end up in bad places. There is no such thing as zero risk in digital advertising. The system's not infallible."

.@PublicisGroupe REP (cont'd): "See, we use something called Newsguard to keep our ads off bad sites."
INTERVIEWER: OK, well @NewsGuardRating marked GW as bad, but your clients' ads are still on there..?
REP: *realizes she's fucked*
REP: "I gotta go"

OMG HOLY SHIT IT'S ME, WE HAVE REACHED THE ME PART

ME: "I went to Breitbart and hovered on the ads to see who was serving them and it was all @Google."

Omg my nails look so good

Really pleased to see @OpIndia_com making a cameo here. @GoogleAds is hands down THE biggest monetizer of this Indian hate site.

ME: I told @GoogleAds they were monetizing MyMilitia(.)com for months before the J6 riots. It wasn't until AFTER the attack that they demonetized the site.

P.S. I also related this story in my speech to the EU Parliament in April - it's a marker of how dangerous Google is.

INTERVIEWER: Could @Google decide to just stop financing these websites?
ME: Yeah, they could put an end to the entire disinformation economy tomorrow...if they wanted to.

INTERVIEWER: You send a metric shit ton of ad money to disinfo outlets. How do you explain that?
@Google REP: See, there's no real definition of misinformation... *unintelligible* *something about crossing the line* *goes on forever*

I am fucking obsessed with @WTFake_'s signature tactic of printing out ad placements and confronting PR reps with it. I can hear the internal screaming from 3000 miles away

*INTERNAL SCREAMING*

I legitimately cannot understand a word of what he's saying right now - this is BUSINESS French - but his heart rate has gone up, his voice has gotten higher and he looks panicked

Holy fucking shit! Some other @Google guy butts in and says - I think - "this interview is over"...and our sweaty friend gets up and leaves! This interview IS OVER!

We have moved on to this fella and I'm not sure who he is or what he's saying. I'm a little winded now. I think what's happening is, he made a ton of money off disinfo and is bragging about it, and the reporter is just letting him dig himself into a hole.

OK, that's the end, folks. This documentary is INCREDIBLE. Bold, gripping, entertaining. The documentary that finally demonetized Gateway Pundit!
