It used to be you couldn’t investigate a commie without the progs calling it another unjust McCartheyesque blacklisting smear campaign. They’d say we don’t have Russians hiding in the bushes, but now they can’t stop saying we do.
Everything is a Russian disinformation campaign. Their political opponents are all working with Russian operatives. I guess this is what Clinton meant by the Obama Era Russia Reset. It was, after all, her campaign that created the Stelle dossier alleging Russian collusion and election interference.
Funny how Hollywood never caught on to that lie. They so love to remind us how they were targets which is ironic. The Biden Administration has made it clear that political satire is punishable by fines and imprisonment, no matter where you claim to stand politically.
Three weeks ago, the Department of (in)Justice indicted Omali Yeshitela, Penny Joanne Hess, Jesse Nevel, and Augustus C. Romain Jr. Their crime? They are reportedly black leftists who opposed the war in Ukraine using memes and other communications on the internet. DOJ alleges three Russians funded them.
A federal grand jury in Tampa, Florida, returned a superseding indictment charging four U.S. citizens and three Russian nationals with working on behalf of the Russian government and in conjunction with the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) to conduct a multi-year foreign malign influence campaign in the United States. Among other conduct, the superseding indictment alleges that the Russian defendants recruited, funded and directed U.S. political groups to act as unregistered illegal agents of the Russian government and sow discord and spread pro-Russian propaganda; the indicted intelligence officers, in particular, participated in covertly funding and directing candidates for local office within the United States.
Did you read the story yesterday about the US Intelligence Apparatus having a Congressionally funded disinformation investigation unit? You should. Then, read this from the DOJ on the indictment of Omali Yeshitela, Penny Joanne Hess, Jesse Nevel, and Augustus C. Romain Jr.
“Russia’s foreign intelligence service allegedly weaponized our First Amendment rights – freedoms Russia denies its own citizens – to divide Americans and interfere in elections in the United States,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division. “The department will not hesitate to expose and prosecute those who sow discord and corrupt U.S. elections in service of hostile foreign interests, regardless of whether the culprits are U.S. citizens or foreign individuals abroad.”
The feds have been spying on Americans illegally for years. Obama’s DOJ spied on opposing political opponents. We knew that. But now we have the “new” Foreign Malign Influence Center (FMIC)—the front group for the weaponized bureaucracies’ war on free speech.
The Federal Government will use its Russian/Foreign election interference narrative (as but one example) to fearmonger people from exercising their First Amendment Rights, and winning in court isn’t the point, even though pro-Trump Douglas McKay was sentenced to ten years in prison for election interference.
Cellmate: What are you in for?
McKay: Hillary Memes.
This Machine will, moving forward, find targets of opportunity. Look for examples to be made. And as we’ve long warned, being on the Left will not protect you.
