I've never appeared on RT. Asked twice, refused twice. Per usual—like when he made up a Satanic, cannibalistic, pedophilic Democratic cabal and almost got folks in a pizza joint in DC killed—Jack Posobiec is doing what he was trained to do in military intelligence: lie to crowds.
(PS) As Posobiec knows—because he was in the U.S. intelligence community—RT America is an "autonomous nonprofit" that is *not* RT and is *not* run by the Kremlin. I said "I've never appeared on RT" and I haven't. Years ago, I spoke to Thom Hartmann when he had an RT America show.
(PS2) This is a good example of how Posobiec operates. He knows—better than anyone, actually—the difference between RT America and RT, and what it means when someone says "I've never been on RT." But his *readers* don't know the difference. Just so, his photo of himself on 1/6...
(PS3) ...which captures him in a moment when he *wasn't* with Alexander on January 6 but in no way proves—as he claims—that he wasn't with him at all that day. *That* you won't get him to speak on except in a deposition. By contrast, I speak carefully: I would never have said...
(PS4) ..."I've never appeared on RT America," because I know that I have—even as I turned down two interview requests from *RT* (which *isn't* autonomous and *is* run by the Kremlin). RT America has had hosts on it who've had *MSNBC* shows. It's an entirely different operation.
(PS5) The problem is Posobiec—as a trained psyops guy—always has an advantage over those who speak carefully. Why? Because he targets, for his audience, ill-informed suckers. He doesn't have to work hard to misinform. Informing well-informed folks accurately is a far harder task.
(PS6) For those wondering, the autonomous U.S. company that runs RT America is T&R Productions. BTW, the interview Posobiec tried to imply was with RT, but was actually with RT America, occurred before even *RT* was deemed a foreign agent by the U.S. (that happened only in 2017).

He’s doing it AGAIN.

The same thing. AGAIN.

Many of us are saying the coup attempt isn’t over and the insurrection continues and things will get very dangerous again and here you go. The lack of accountability for Trump continues to endanger the entire nation and our democracy.
(PS) The single most corrupt politician in U.S. history is trying to foment *fear* among the very law enforcement officials who are trying to uphold the rule of law and hold him accountable for crimes. He’s targeted *precisely* the jurisdictions in which he’s under investigation.
(PS2) And boy I sure hope no one missed that in Texas last night what Trump was trying to gin up was a race war. By drawing the attention of his primarily white—and significantly white supremacist—audience to the race of those investigating him, he knew exactly what he was doing.

On the eve of a possible war, if you read just one national bestseller on the Russia-Ukraine crisis and how it intersects with democratic erosion here—caused by the same Republicans who colluded with the Kremlin and pro-Kremlin Ukrainians—make it this one. amazon.com/dp/1250272998?…
(PS) The GOP is now so entwined with the Russia-Ukraine crisis that it's impossible to understand why Tucker Carlson is taking Russia's side without reading about the almost impossibly complex, nefarious backstory behind all of this—which involves elections, energy and espionage.
(PS2) Back in winter 2019-20—when I pitched a book on Ukraine to Macmillan—the prevailing wisdom was that it was folly, as the "Trump-Ukraine scandal" was little more than a brouhaha over a single phone call. PROOF OF CORRUPTION is 600 pages because in fact that was *never* true.

Insurrectionist Jack Posobiec—who was on the OAN observation deck with domestic terrorist Ali Alexander on 1/6, and in touch with both the Willard war room and agents in the Capitol—now wants #ReleasetheTranscript to trend after he demanded *Trump* calls to Zelensky stay *hidden*
I guess I’m just reminding everyone that seditious scum have existed in every culture/civilization in the history of mankind, meaning there is no American exceptionalism in this regard: our traitors don’t believe in anything whatsoever, just as their predecessors worldwide didn’t
What distinguishes Posobiec, of course, is that he used to work in military intelligence, so we can be quite certain that what appears to be mere gaslighting, misdirection, and misinformation from him is in fact asymmetrical warfare—psyops—being waged against the American people

COVID-19 DEATHS: A NEW VIEW

Bari Weiss says she’s “over” the pandemic. This chart shows which US states would’ve had their populations wiped out if all COVID-19 deaths were within their borders.

Official (5): WY, VT, AK, ND, SD
Undercount (9): WY, VT, AK, ND, SD, DE, MT, RI, ME Image
PS/ Another way of looking at this is that the COVID-19 “undercount” death toll presently equates to the evaporation of the *entire population* of Wyoming *and* Vermont *and* 1/3rd of the population of Alaska. And that’s in just 22 months—with things getting *worse* with Omicron.
PS2/ I’m putting aside the possibly decades-long toll that Long Covid will put on our healthcare system, including deaths that result from Long Covid down the line.

And I’m putting aside the strain that 75 million Americans infected so far—not a typo—has put on our system *now*.

(ICYMI) Media catches up to PROOF on Finchem, Rogers, Waldron, and the *major* insurrectionist movement still under way in Arizona—which is only getting more dangerous.
(PS) Remember that—as PROOF reported—Ali Alexander was boasting, within a matter of hours of the Capitol attack, that he'd long been in contact with Arizona officials *and* knew of their direct contacts with *Trump*. He then led Proud Boys to DC alongside the Oath Keeper Finchem.
(PS2) In the Alexander-Finchem-Trump nexus you have the White House, Stop the Steal, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers—all of the key players in the insurrection. I will say it again: the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were tasked with *opening the Capitol doors* to an occupation.

(BOOK) As Putin prepares to invade Ukraine, Trump prepares to run for POTUS again, and the GOP prepares to launch a probe of Hunter Biden if they take the House, people are realizing that the Trump-Ukraine scandal *never ended*. I wrote a bestseller on it: amazon.com/gp/aw/d/125027…
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to be prepared for what’s coming: Russia invading Europe for the second time in a decade, and Russia working to get Trump back in the White House—so he can continue aiding Russian aggression—even as the GOP parrots Kremlin talking points.
No one who read this book when it was a national bestseller is at all confused about what’s happening in Ukraine right now, because they understand what Putin is doing and—as importantly—they understand that the Republican Party (especially Trump) will *aid* Putin as he does it.
