1/13 It's amazing to see Western influencers being revealed as paid russian disinformation agents, but this is merely the tip of the iceberg. Fun fact: they all support Trump and work against Democrats. Coincidence? I don't think so! Image
2/13 TENET media and its content creators are facing scrutiny after being exposed as disinformation agents funded by russia to promote pro-russian rhetoric. Image
3/13 Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson, and Lauren Southern are the influencers associated with Tenet media. The organization received $10 million to disseminate Kremlin talking points in the United States. Image
4/13 The ironic part is that the shared factor among these individuals is that they are all paid by russia to criticize Democrats and support Trump. This serves as further evidence that russia is attempting to facilitate Trump's election. Image
5/13 Many more individuals, including some close to Trump, are likely on russia's payroll while supporting him. Trump himself could potentially be a russian asset or, at the very least, an opportunistic useful idiot. Image
6/13 This is merely the tip of the iceberg. There are numerous other instances in the West. Every country has its own russian disinformation agents, and I hope many of them are exposed in the coming months. Image
7/13 German author and journalist Hubert Seipel, based in Moscow, was caught less than a year ago for accepting €600,000 in exchange for his pro-russian rhetoric. Image
8/13 Scott Ritter, an American convicted pedophile and russian disinformation agent, has reportedly terminated his collaboration with russian media today due to sanctions. He is a clear example of a russian asset in the US. Image
9/13 There are numerous other cases that require investigation. Individuals like Douglas Macgregor, who consistently echo Kremlin talking points and oppose their own country regardless of the circumstances, are among those who need to be looked into. Image
10/13 Tucker Carlson is another individual that the US is likely investigating at the moment. Those associated with TENET Media were instructed to promote his videos showcasing shopping in russia. Image
11/13 Some of these individuals are useful idiots, while many deliberately turn a blind eye, and others are genuine disinformation agents. Ultimately, the distinction is not significant. Most of them are aware, but it can be challenging to prove that they are. Image
12/13 russia seeks to exploit Western freedom of speech to create divisions within our societies and erode trust in institutions. They have been remarkably successful in this endeavor, which is why it is crucial to investigate all cases like TENET Media. Image

1/5 Getting rid of Trump would be great. But his VP JD Vance? Even worse!

Authoritarian, isolationist, pro-Russian, owned by dangerous foreign-born billionaires, and obsessed with anti-democracy ideas.

Here’s why Vance is more dangerous than Trump👇 Image
2/5 Trump is impulsive and transactional.

Vance is calculated. He said he would refuse to certify an election if he thought the media was “unfair.”

That’s not bluster. It’s a blueprint to replace rule of law with rule of bad men Image
3/5 Vance has reinvented himself repeatedly: born James Donald Bowman, became James David Hamel, then JD Vance. Three legal name changes. Who does that? Who is JD Vance?

Opportunism isn’t skin-deep. It’s his core. He will say anything to climb higher Image

1/7 Something basic yet crucial to understand about the war in Ukraine: Invading and defending are not the same.

Russia, the invader, will lose. Ukraine, the defender, will win.

Here’s why👇 Image
2/7 Too many think war is like a football game with equal objectives. Wrong.

The invader loses if it fails to conquer. The defender loses if it fails to protect.

Different objectives, different stakes Image
3/7 It is much easier to defend than to attack. History proves it.

Powerful armies often fail against smaller defenders: Finland vs USSR in the Winter War, Afghanistan vs USSR, and now Ukraine vs Russia Image

1/5 Time for Trump to prove he is not compromised by Russia.

How? By selling long-range missiles to Ukraine and finally pressuring Moscow.

If he does nothing, we will all know what that means Image
2/5 The Epstein emails changed everything. They show Epstein helped Russia blackmail Trump.

That means Trump may have betrayed the US and pushed Russian interests to avoid exposure.

That is traitorous. We all suspected this, but seeing proof is shocking Image
3/5 To prove Russia’s Epstein blackmail has not made him a traitor, Trump must act.

He needs to pressure Russia now. He has the tools. He refuses to use them.

Why? Likely because of the kompromat. He must decide if he wants to be a traitor or not Image

1/6 The Russia hoax was never a hoax.

Trump was compromised by Moscow then and he is compromised now.

The Epstein emails show why Moscow was thrilled to have Trump in the White House.

This is not speculation. It is documented Image
2/6 Back in his first term, Trump’s campaign was run by Paul Manafort, a man deeply tied to Russia.

Trump’s team secretly met with Russians, accepted intel, and used it against Clinton and later Biden.

That was not a hoax. It was collusion Image
3/6 Russia helped Trump win, and Trump repaid them by undermining NATO and defending Moscow at every turn.

He acted like someone protecting himself, not his country Image

1/8 The Epstein Emails Also Expose Musk, Thiel, and Vance.

Musk and Thiel are in the files. Vance is their ticket to stay in control.

Next they will want to rewrite history and keep power. Hold the receipts Image
2/8 Do not let the post-Trump power brokers gaslight you.

Thiel, Musk and Vance want to keep control of the White House.

They helped put Trump in power knowing what Epstein and Russia had on him.

Now they want you to forget. Do not let them! Image
3/8 Epstein bragged about Trump spending hours with victims and hinted at Kremlin leverage before the Helsinki summit.

Trump knew. Epstein knew. Russia knew.

And the other billionaires who bankrolled Trump’s comeback knew too Image

1/5 We may finally know why Trump has been betraying the United States to push Russian interests over American ones.

The newly published Epstein emails reveal something explosive Image
2/5 The emails show Trump was far more aware of and involved in Epstein’s activities than previously proven.

Many suspected this, but now there is documented evidence, which is the surprising part Image
3/5 Even more disturbing: there is now proof that Epstein was advising Russians on how to handle Trump, basically acting as a Russian asset.

This suggests Russia had leverage over Trump and could blackmail him if it wanted to Image
