The TikTok influencer has discovered occupied Ukraine.
A group of influencers from Moscow recently took a trip to Mariupol to pose next to rubble and film themselves feeding the locals.
Throughout their excursion the group pays homage to Russia for its “liberation” efforts.
The influencers also got the chance to cosplay as Russian soldiers and ride military tanks through the abandoned city streets.
According to the influencers Mariupol can now “breath a sigh of relief” thanks to Russia.
My research partner @FARED_ALHOR is correct that this has been happening in Syria for a while. Influencers who enter into Syria on regime sponsored visas are used as pawns by the regime to white Assad/Putin war crimes.
🧵:Since the ongoing slaughter in Syria has been largely ignored, it has been easy for disinfo actors to recycle footage from Syria & claim it’s related Gaza/Israel. Accounts claimed this video was Israel bombing Gaza. They are Assad airstrikes:
Known disinformation accounts have claimed this is Hamas targeting the airport in Tel Aviv. In actuality it is a three year old video of the Assad regime backed by Russia targeting civilians.
Yesterday this video went viral after the poster claimed it was footage of Israel targeting Hamas. The footage is of the Assad regime targeting civilians in Ariha, Idlib just this past week.
Tonight, while sharing a stage with two former Russia-state media employees, Cornell West parroted the Kremlin narrative that NATO & US imperialism “provoked” Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
This “Peace in Ukraine” event, hosted by CODEPINK, platformed zero Ukrainian voices.
Recently @DavidCornDC wrote about West's concerning connection with Kremlin-backed activists and CCP apologists.
Since Roger Waters is trending I would like to remind you his politics and ethics have always been horrid.
During a concert in 2018 Waters smeared the White Helmets, a rescue group working in opposition held Syria, as “jihadists.”
As of 2018 the group had saved 114,000 lives
Waters is regularly quoted by Russia Today due to his pro-Putin talking points.
Here is Waters spouting Assadist propaganda on a podcast. Waters claimed that Assad never used chemical weapons on his own people. He then encourages the audience to read Grayzone, a known pro-Putin/Assad conspiracy site.
