THE DISINFO FILES | VOL. 1: CNN Propagates The Hunter Laptop 'Russian Disinformation' Hoax

A primary focus of leftist media and political organizations moving into the 2024 election cycle is “combating disinformation” from the right.

NBC News: “Disinformation Poses an Unprecedented Threat in 2024."

WEF: “Disinformation is No. 1 Threat as Elections Approach."

Both NBC and the WEF are correct about disinfo posing a threat — just not in the way they want you to believe.

To prove it, the first volume in this series chronicling lefwing disinformation efforts features former CNN “journalist” Brian Stelter — breathlessly, dramatically parroting his IC-supplied false narrative about Hunter’s laptop in October of 2020.

Two weeks before the November election day.

In the process, he smugly smears Rupert Murdoch, Fox News, The New York Post, Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr, Rudy Giuliani and others as nefarious actors in a grand conspiracy to attack the Bidens.

Since, the DOJ itself has verified Hunter Biden’s ownership of the laptop.

The 51 IC officials that created the laptop “Russian disinformation” narrative misled the American people in a blatant election interference op.

And so did CNN’s Brian Stelter.
This is the first installment of what will be an ongoing series of video clips and compilations that expose disinformation propagation and coordination from leftist media, politicians and public figures.

The goal is to produce 100 volumes of this series in the coming weeks and months.

Quick, simple examples that are easy to explain and share.

(The upcoming volumes will be much more succinct, with the setup out of the way.)

In total, they will tell a story that creates a powerful counter-narrative to regime “disinformation” propaganda aimed at the right.

The left needs to be forever branded with the “disinformation” label. We can help do that.

Please share — and please DM your submissions for upcoming volumes.

NEW: CBS “Non-Partisan Election Expert” David Becker: @elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump are spreading "Election Disinformation"

State-run media goes into full election-influencing operative mode here — attacking their political adversaries under the guise of presenting “non-partisan” election information.

BECKER: “We're seeing more election disinformation for sure. It's coming from, Donald Trump. It's coming from Elon Musk. It's coming from we know, foreign adversaries like Russia and Iran and North Korea and China."

“So when you see information on social media in particular, that triggers something within you that seems to make you angry about the other side. All of us as sophisticated media consumers, should pause and and say, what is? Maybe that anger is the product they're trying to create. Maybe they're getting paid or they're benefiting from creating that anger in us."

Becker is a leftwing operative posing as a non-partisan election expert — and is regularly platformed by many state-media outlets to attack their political opponents.
Becker is the Exec Dir and Fndr of the Center for Election Innovation & Research, former People for the American Way activist, Cal Berkeley alum, and author of the book “The Big Truth: Upholding Democracy in the Age of The Big Lie."

“Non-partisan."

Per Influence Watch, In 2020, Becker’s CEIR org received a whopping $69.M from Zuckerberg for “voter protection efforts."

This is who legacy media wants you to believe is a non-partisan source of election information.

MI Sec of State Jocelyn Benson:

- Refuses to remove RFK Jr from the ballot
- Tried to remove Cornel West from the ballot
- Opened an investigation into Musk-backed, pro-Trump PAC
- Awarded The Presidential Citizens Medal by Biden for “protecting the integrity of elections” in 2023

Benson is a partisan hack doing everything in her power to tilt the scales in favor of her party candidate in Michigan.
Benson tried to remove West from the ballot beacuse that would be a negative for Kamala — but judge ruled West to stay on.

Benson opened an investigation into an @elonmusk backed, pro-Trump PAC three weeks ago. Image

House GOP Host Forum on Trump's Attempted Assassination with @Heritage: Clips Thread 🧵

1) Rep. Eli Crane to @dbongino: “In your opinion, is the Secret Service in a better spot today with Director Rowe in charge?"

Bongino: "No. It's worse….You think this is the last incident? You're out of your mind."
2) Rep. Eli Crane to @realErikDPrince: In your professional opinion, is the Secret Service in its current form and leadership able to stop a threat like that?

Prince: "President Trump was definitely deprived of resources that day for whatever the political reason. They had one third the amount of agents covering him as were covering Jill Biden in the same region at an indoor event. She had 12 post holders covering her. Again, no statutory or constitutional authority for the first lady. Donald J. Trump had four Secret Service agents assigned."

Fmr. Obama Nat. Sec. Advisor and deep-state operator Susan Rice has weighed in with the central Kamala campaign messaging: divisive identity politics and propaganda to miscast opposition to DEI.

"They’re basically trying to dehumanize her and all of us…if you're not a white Christian male, then any success you've had, you've got, without merit, because of some unfair preference."

They dehumanized Trump to the point of an assass*nation attempt, but they want you to forget that.

Rice is best known for lying about Benghazi, “unmasking” Trump campaign associates and being a key player in the targeting of Michael Flynn — is now also alleged to be leading efforts to implement Executive Order 14019.
Rice lying about the Benghazi attack:
Per Rep. Claudia Tenney, Rice has been tasked with registering illegals to vote as part of Executive Order 14019.

.@dbongino on newly-resigned Secret Service Director: “This is about to get so much worse…this is not over for Kim Cheatle."

Bongino says a documentation trail exists regarding requested additional resources denied to Trump’s security detail, and Cheatle will be unable to hide from it:

BONGINO: “Folks, this thing is about to get so much worse. I'm telling you, there is an email trail and white papers out there, a long email trail documenting multiple security enhancements, requests for the DTD, Donald Trump protective detail that were rebuffed and denied. Kim Cheatle is never, ever going to be able to hide from."

"And what happened? I want all of her communications, both before and after, business wise, conducted on a personal device in potential violation of administrative and possibly other rules and regulations for the Secret Service. This is not over for Kim Cheadle. And while we're at it, here's another Winky Winky nod, nod. Maybe you should ask Kim Cheatle if she's ever communicated on encrypted apps outside of her government device, government email or government texting capabilities."

"Everybody taking notes, taking notes in Congress about the cocaine scandal at the white House and the missing January 6th texts, too. I'm just going to throw that out there. This is your home for breaking news. Maybe you should ask her that under oath."

What is Executive Order 14019?

How it’s billed: A non-partisan GOTV operation calling for “all of government” effort to register voters.

What it is: An ‘election interference scheme’ that uses your tax dollars to register Democrat voters in swing states.

This thread will borrow heavily from the incredible work done on this by Heritage’s @oversightPR.

They have been sounding the alarm on “Biden Bucks” for a long time. This thread is an effort to help amplify their work — adding contextual video in order to provide a concise, nuts-and-bolts understanding of how this is manifesting in the 2024 election.

One of Oversight Project’s main threads laying this out can be found here.

Joe Biden announced the EO on March 7, 2021. He invokes January 6, Bloody Sunday, John Lewis and Republican-led voter security measures (voter suppression!) to make the case that there should be an all of government approach to registering voters.
