The 1st thing that comes to mind is the utter lack of competence all the journalists involved here showed.
Useful Idiots? Or more?
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
But where do you draw the line?

Next Up: The “dashboard”, headed by former FBI counterintelligence official funded by a neoliberal think tank, the ASD; who makes bold claims to have cracked how Russia did and continue to influence US politics, but won’t release the list. Now proven to be Pathological liars. 🤔
What’s mind blowing is the sheer amount of coordination that took place between (ex)intelligence agencies and DC media & political swamp to create & maintain a mountain of lies, claiming to fight the very same thing, while designating themselves as the arbitrator of Truth. 🤯
Now that it is established that Hamilton68 was designed to be a political tool from the start (by a bunch of neoliberals), there are two important questions that arise from it.
Who benefitted from it and why?
- to gain some political traction
- to establish a new narrative

And what was the gain?
A new narrative to discredit any political opposition. A sort of a blanket to wrap up anything and everything that goes against their narrative.
(We all know how it turned out in the long run)

By now most Americans (perhaps the world) know what a “Narrative” is or at the very least understand what narratives lack: the truth/facts. But many still fail to realize just how intertwined narratives are. Like a thick fog of lies that prevents the truth from being seen/heard.
In this latest episode of #TwitterFiles15, @mtaibbi gives us a glimpse of this game of the Narratives.
1. Creation of a Narrative
2. Dissemination of a Narrative
(DC Media + Political Swamp)
3. Birth of a new Narrative
The same cycle repeats on itself, a thick fog of lies.

It’s very important that we all understand just how important the 2nd chain is in this whole link, it is the key for this well oiled machine to work flawlessly.🔑
It’s why I must thank @elonmusk for his efforts to bring transparency to Twitter. It is crucial for the times ahead.

Why have we seen a huge amount of attacks on @elonmusk post Twitter takeover?
You ATTACK THOSE you fear the most.
Down the Rabbit Hole 🕳 🐇

So while you go down this rabbit hole, I only ask that you ponder on my initial question.
Plain Stupidly or Malice?
Useful Idiots or Something More?
Where do you draw the LINE?
