    From: “Ha-ha! Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country. Putin has seven types of cancer and is in danger of being deposed. Can’t beat a third-world country on the the battlefield.”

    To: “Kruschev was right! They’re taking us over from within!”

    We have our own domestic Communists problem right here in the U.S.A..

    Putin loves what the Dems sold him in the 20% of our Uranium ore.

    Putin loves the support from certain members of the gop.

    I can’t see his posts, but Duggar’s Dad sure comes to mind. Back when i could read them, I remember him saying he has online “CIA friends” who give him information that he shares here…. Yeah…. Sure he does….

    The problem is a lot of them are very witting as long as the checks clear. The rest are their dupes.

    I love how they think this is a new phenomena. Just listen to Trump fans decry the Ukraine War using Putin's talking points.

    Most people on Too Hot are just spewing Estonian propaganda and are not to be reasoned with.

    Good post. Most everyone in US references social media and views news items even if inadvertently. Important to realize some of those posts are fake or propaganda from our advisories Iran, China, & Russia.





    “Twitter accounts operated by authoritarian governments in Russia, China and Iran are benefiting from recent changes at the social media company, researchers said Monday, making it easier for them to attract new followers and broadcast propaganda and disinformation to a larger audience.”

    The platform is no longer labeling state-controlled media and propaganda agencies, and will no longer prohibit their content from being automatically promoted or recommended to users. Together, the two changes, both made in recent weeks, have supercharged the Kremlin’s ability to use the U.S.-based platform to spread lies and misleading claims

    Twitter changes stoke Russian, Chinese propaganda surge


    “Russia's war in Ukraine isn't just being fought on the ground and in the air with tanks, artillery and fighter jets. It's also playing out online, where the Kremlin and its allies are using propaganda, fake social media accounts, forged documents and manipulated videos and images to push false narratives, in an effort to deflect blame from Moscow and undermine support for Ukraine.”

    Brutal takedown here …

    CNN has a new article out titled “Newly declassified US intel claims Russia is laundering propaganda through unwitting Westerners,” and it’s pretty much exactly what you’d expect if you’ve been critically observing the western mass media over the last several years. An anonymous source making vague and unevidenced claims of an unverifiable nature about a longtime target of the US intelligence cartel, based solely on information provided by that same intelligence cartel.
