😮 “M'Barki ran reports on a variety of subjects - luxury yachts in Monaco, a Sudanese opposition leader, allegations of corruption in Qatar - that had all one thing in common: they were planted by an Israel-based outfit specialising in 'news for hire'.” bbc.com/news/world-eur…
"The second report, broadcast in mid-December, was about a leafleting campaign in #Paris accusing a former state prosecutor in #Qatar of corruption.” This is an important illustration of how the #influenceindustry works to coordinate across legacy/online media….
“When originally shown in the early hours of the morning, the reports would have gone almost unobserved.
But that changed when they were picked up by #SocialMedia and #TeamJorge's massed avatars. Suddenly they were viral."

“The legitimate uses for this kind of reputation management are few compared to the advantages for corrupt individuals,” Emma Briant, a research fellow at Bard College who studies information warfare, told Forbidden Stories.

The underlying inferred contextual narrative is also of course the war in Ukraine. Making parallels to Russian-pushed narratives that NATO provoked the current invasion. Of a country that went through quite enough at the hands of Hitler and Stalin.
Well this is interesting. One can only assume this may be linked to the FBI inquiries into her Chief of Staff meddling in Puerto Rico. As someone who studies Anglo-American relations, this is both a hell of a snub and an unusually blatant incursion in America’s backyard.
Wow, fascinating. “snipers will be stationed on rooftops, surveillance drones will fly overhead…10,000 uniformed police officers…thousands of plainclothes officers among the crowd…bomb-sniffing dogs have been patrolling…Private security guards will assist with crowd control.”
No doubt the media will fail to mention in reporting emphasising the vast numbers in the crowds paying respects, that there are also actually thousands of plain clothes police and security personnel among them.
Quite fascinating to see the vast difference in the reporting of this in the UK and US.
