CIA Propaganda Operations: Washington Post Anti-Russia 'Hacker' Propaganda

ministry of tokyo 'RUSSIAN' HACKER - WASHINGTON POST PROPAGANDA extract —Yasha Levine https://surveillancevalley.com/blog/on-russia-hacking-american-democracy http://archive.is/IVD3o extract WASHINGTON POST So much effort has been thrown at implicating the Russians in some way and none of the evidence has stuck  ... The paper offered no evidence to back up its shocking claims, but relied on secret claims made by a shady anonymous group called PropOrNot, which compiled a blacklist of American news outlets it considers to be Russian agents engaging in treason. PropOrNot's story is already unraveling. The group admitted to lying about its partnering organizations and refuses to disclose why its media blacklist of “Russian agents” contains some of the best journalists in recent history: Robert Parry (who helped break the Iran-Contra scandal), Robert Scheer (who helped expose CIA funding of student groups in the 1960s as editor at Ramparts) and Yves Smith (the fearless founder of an invaluable and respected financial blog, nakedcapitalism.com). It’s shocking and disturbing that WaPo would smear respected journalists as traitors with no evidence. It appears there's a chance that PropOrNot is connected to groups funded the Broadcasting Board of Governors, a CIA spinoff that manages the U.S. government's foreign propaganda division. If true, that would make PropOrNot's activities illegal — in violation of a federal law that prohibits the BBG from intentionally influencing or swaying public opinion inside the United States. Creating blacklists of American journalists, labelling them as traitors and then circulating this information to American newspapers would certainly fall into that category. Maybe Russia has the means to “hack” America’s elections, but it's hard to talk about it without real evidence. Sure, Russia’s been getting into the psyops game much more lately — with fake and biased news, comment trolls and Twitter bots. It’s cheap and effective, and good at exploiting people’s increasing lack trust in their country's institutions and political process.  [comment:  I disagree with this point - see below] It’s cheap and effective, and good at exploiting people’s increasing lack trust in their country's institutions and political process. But in reality it seems to have very little penetration of America's media landscape. Let's face it: life is miserable and getting more miserable by the day for most Americans — and no one in power seems to care one way or another. Americans don't need a Russian Twitter bot to undermine their trust in the Democratic Party. And anyway, this kind of propaganda psyops isn't anything that the United States isn’t doing at this very moment against Russia on a much bigger level — just look at Tor, Internet Freedom and Radio Free Europe. NSA and CIA and U.S. Naval intelligence and President Obama ... No one has said a thing. They’re all moving with the transition as normal. Whereas if it was really true, this info would not be coming from some anonymous outfit set up last week. The U.S. would be gearing up for real war with Russia. [comment:   I believe the US-Ango-EU-NATO capitalist military, political and propaganda media agents are actually gearing up for indoctrinating the Western the public for war with Russia.   But this is not war arising from to what amounts to anonymous - likely CIA-propaganda-machine connected - 'Russian hacking' allegations, made groundlessly throughout the Western capitalist oligarchy CIA-NATO-friendly propaganda media, in terms of cause.  Rather, the cause of 'Russian hacking', anti-Russian and anti Russian media propaganda,  is the Western capitalist plan for war with Russia. It is because the capitalist oligarchy has targeted Russia for capitalist exploitation (the path to which is war), just as a predator targets, stalks and takes down prey - and that the Western capitalist propaganda arises out of that agenda and is effectively a 'stalking' of prey behaviour, designed to influence and control public opinion. Look at the NATO bases inching towards Moscow; look at the long-range missiles trained on Russia by NATO; look at the CIA-coup in Ukraine and the US capitalist (EU-NATO) grip on former Soviet satellite states; look at the vicious sanctions placed on Russia and the US-Anglo-EU capitalist oligarchy attempt to destroy the Russian economy; look at the US-Anglo-EU oligarchy's aggression in Syria, Russia's ally and Middle Eastern base.   Look at the vicious anti-Putin and anti-Russia propaganda (see  an inappropriately vilified Putin, depicted as a demon, on the cover of The Economist, for example); see the incessant Western capitalist oligarchy media attack & that of their scoundrel hysteria and propaganda public spin-doctoring performances, politicians - eg. Boris Johnson (UK) and other Western capitalist oligarchy serving foreign ministers joining the propaganda performing chorus; and the constant lying stream of preposterous US-NATO capitalist oligarchy serving anti-Russia propaganda that streams from the Scandinavian and Baltic states - worst offenders, in my opinion:  Sweden and Lithuania.   ] —Yasha Levine UPDATE: Max Blumenthal debunked PropOrNot blacklist smears in Alternet. Mathew Ingram did the same in Fortune. https://surveillancevalley.com/blog/on-russia-hacking-american-democracy http://archive.is/IVD3o COMMENT Enjoyed looking at this article. The layout above isn't how it appears in the originally - and I've just lifted the bits I personally found of note. Full article is at the links provided. I would, however, disagree with the following statement: Sure, Russia’s been getting into the psyops game much more lately — with fake and biased news, comment trolls and Twitter bots. I find Russian news to be of a revelatory standard that is by far superior to Western capitalist controlled media. The two Russian targets that are in the Western propaganda and 'regulation' (ie censorship) sights of US-Anglo-NATO capitalists and their CIA (& associated agency) propaganda, smear, delegitimisation and distrust-sowing ops efforts - eg. Russia's RT News and Sputnik Western capitalist smear targets - are actually excellent, factual and unbiased, in my opinion.  Of course, standards between different Russian media outlets and private blogging enterprises (Russian or sympathetic to Russia ... or purporting to be 'Russian') - or simply media deliberately posing as 'Russian', but not necessarily Russian or from a Russophobic source  (eg.   from the disaffected, convicted, former 'Russian' oligarchs in exile and their brigade of sponsored intelligentsia 'trolls' etc) - would vary not only in terms of quality and standard, but also in terms of motivation and spin .  As for Russian 'bots' - everyone that can see things from a non-indoctrinated and non Western capitalist oligarchy serving, or ideologically compliant, perspective, can expect to be harassed by Western capitalism's media, social media and capitalist-sponsored 'grass-roots' trolls and other proxies, screaming:  'Kremlin troll!' ... which is rather hilarious. The propaganda, the indoctrination, the bias, the lies, with withholding of information, the spin-doctoring,  and the social media trolling (by the Western capitalist sponsored intelligentsia and virtually all of mainstream capitalist controlled media journalists, presenters, writers, plus the sports and entertainment industry (as well as CORPORATIONS and their representatives incessantly forcing ideology, propaganda and indoctrination on the unwary masses), is a 24/7 US-Anglo-EU-NATO capitalist oligarchy friendly propaganda operation that is at a disadvantage when foreign independent media reports as close to the truth as foreign independent media may do, without incurring Western capitalist censorship body penalties for being truthful. Such are spun as something entirely different when the foreign media is targeted and then smeared in the Western capitalist controlled media, while bullied by Western capitalist media censorship bodies.   Foreign media may not defend itself by publicly discussing 'charges' brought against it by these Western capitalist oligarchy censorship boards etc - eg. RT News. Not also, that the Western capitalist oligarchy funds its own social media trolls, by way of a vast network of sponsored 'progressive' (and other) NGOs, pursuing, reinforcing, enforcing and echoing capitalist serving ideology in the media, in 'alternate' (also capitalist sponsored) 'controlled opposition' media  and in social media, as well as in the community.  That is the suffocating extent of Western ideological, social and political propaganda, indoctrination and suppression activities, quietly deployed in the service of Western capitalist ruling oligarchy's interests and aim. The 'free' West is not free at all:  a man cannot be free if the information that he is provided with to make sense of his world and his decisions is censored, distorted or falsified, as it is in the Western capitalist oligarchy controlled propaganda and indoctrination media machine that's closely aligned with government, government agencies such as CIA, along with the military and entertainment propaganda complexes. Western capitalist society is entirely without substance:  what we see reflected as 'reality' or representation of our understood history, our daily news, our societies, our institutions, our politicians and our societal 'reality' is nothing but LIES.

Source: Tanjug Friday, September 30, 2016 | 10:45 In an interview for the Belgrade-based daily Blic, the Israel's recently appointed top diplomat in Belgrade also pointed out that work was being done to additionally improve relations with Serbia, especially in the economy. "I'll say it very clearly, our position has not changed, and that is the non-recognition of Kosovo," said Fisher-Kamm has been quoted as saying. Asked whether relations with Serbia and Israel can be further improved, she said the idea was to turn the currently "excellent relations" into "concrete steps that will benefit both countries." "The economy is in the first place and I think the potential is really great. We're trying to determine the best areas for research and cooperation - innovation, knowledge sharing, agriculture and technology," said Fisher-Kamm. She singled out tourism as another important area for Israel, stating that her country wants to have more tourists visiting, and expressed his satisfaction that some Israeli charter companies plan to introduce direct flights to Belgrade. Asked "whether Serbia can, like Israel, maintain good relations with both Moscow and Washington, or will have to choose one side," the ambassador said she did not think that countries must decide in favor of one side or the other, citing Israel as "an excellent example" of this. "We have good relations with Russia, China, the U.S., Europe...There are many challenges that we share, the fight against terrorism and other values ​​and issues that require coordination. I am glad that more and more countries understand the specific challenges that Israel has, and that it should have a clear position in the world," the daily quoted her as saying. Speaking about the fight against terrorism, the ambassador said it must involve "all countries." "It does not concern only Israel, Serbia or France. We try to promote cooperation between Serbia and Israel at all levels and that was one of the segments, to express the importance of the international fight against global terrorism and radicalization in general," said Fisher-Kamm. When asked whether there was "special cooperation between Serbian and Israeli intelligence services," the ambassador said she could not talk about specific cooperation, but added there were "certainly channels with Serbia and all other friendly countries all the time." The Israeli ambassador declined to comment on "whether she sees Serbia in the EU," but noted that, as a diplomat, she wished the country a lot of success whatever path it chooses. http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics.php?yyyy=2016&mm=09&dd=30&nav_id=99354 http://archive.is/OC1GM COMMENT SYRIA: US CAPITALISTS THREATEN TO SIC TERRORISTS ON MIDDLE EAST DEFENDER RUSSIA LINK | here I'm thinking:  Israel probably doesn't want to support a declaration of independence because it doesn't want to give its own minorities any ideas or its occupied Palestinian state any leverage. There would be no 'global' fight against terrorism: a) if Western nations had not implemented a program of mass population transfer, against the interests of their existing European populations. b) if Western nations and their Middle Eastern allies had not been meddling in the affairs of Israel's neighbours for decades: DESTROYING A SERIES OF STATES After having, illegally and in advance, attacked Serbia in the Balkans (US / Clinton), and having backed the local Kosovo mafia, to secure a US base in the Balkans, as a wedge between Serbia and Russia and as a stepping-stone to projecting US capitalist control further eastward, the US and its capitalist allied colony states in Europe, now edge their taxpayer ripp-off financed machines of death closer and closer to Russia's borders, with long-range missiles trained on Moscow. Oh, and having supported, armed and trained terrorists in the Middle East and beyond for decades, going right back to backing the Taliban of the 1980s in the contest for Afghanistan and backing Chechen terrorists.

If I were in Moscow anywhere near that nukes button, I would have let them have it by now. It's probably better being nuked than it is facing slow European death by mass third world population transfer, as are the European populations of all Western European nations and all US-Anglo capitalist states. Israel is not about to act against the interests of its benefactor (or is that home state), USA, in the event of dispute between Russia and USA ... so the Israeli ambassador's words are sweet nothings, offered to a CIA Balkans vassal state that is about to get raped economically, having been bombed before being raped politically.  That's my estimate. P.S. The Israeli ambassador is full of crap and so is the Serbian report, I've decided concluded after seeing the US 'body bags' threat to Russia.  The Serbian report is nothing but CIA propaganda. Israel is already acting against the interests of Russia and of Slavs by supporting terrorism in the Middle East and is involved in bringing about the destruction of Syria, while the Israeli's US capitalist 'sugar-daddy' front-man, ventriloquist dummy John Kirby, is threatening to send capitalists proxy terrorists Russia's way. [RIGHT-CLICK IMAGE, 'NEW TAB'] C.I.A. PROPAGANDA ЦИА-ПРОПАГАНДА Wake up Serbia. This is CIA propaganda. Serbia cannot have a capitalist CIA master and defend the interests of Serbia or the interests of fellow Slavs. Israel stands with its Western sponsors, protectors and partners in Middle Eastern regional crime, all of whom  have shown themselves to act against the interests of Russians and of Europeans. Look at the mass third world population transfer to European societies and the destructive costs borne by European man for an indicator of the extent of capitalist criminal indifference to the interests of Europeans.  Look at the chaos made of the Middle East by US-Anglo led capitalists and their Gulf Arab allies, who have destroyed Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria (not counting rest of Africa, which I don't know about yet) and the invasion of Eurpean nations that has ensued.  Look at the social costs of ongoing invasion of European societies being implemented by Western capitalism and the IMF:  dispossession, rape, gang rape, mass rape, violence, robbery, riots, car burnings, property damage, molestation, murder and terrorism.  Daily. Look at the blowback of organised terrorism capitalists have exposed all European nations to, and consider the horror that is the loss of safety and security in all European societies.  Despite all these impressive destructive accomplishments, it's still not enough for capitalists. Iran will be the next target.  Both Russia and China are also in danger. None of this is in the interests of Russians or in the interests of Europeans, whose nations are being assigned to foreigners by mass population transfer; whose safety and security has been compromised by negligent capitalist serving governments, while Europeans face a real possibility of major war and of even becoming victim of nuclear strike. The Axis of Evil US-Anglo led capitalist destruction of functioning states is not in the interests of anyone who values what freedom from worldwide US-Anglo capitalist totalitarianism and exploitation may still remain. If the US-Anglo capitalists succeed in destroying independent states such as Iran, Russia and China, the entire globe will be as exploited as the Americans are exploited by capitalists, who are bled as debt slaves of ruling capitalists of a heavily indebted, failing, bled, mercantile state:  Twenty-first Century Czarist America of disenfranchised, dispossessed Europeans who are losing their heritage and their nation to foreigners; Czarist America with its corrupt ruling oligarchy, its third world airports, its crumbling infrastructure, its poisoned water supply, its rampant fracking, its obscene homelessness, its drug addiction and the worlds highest prison population; struggling Americans who are denied minimum wage, denied worker protections, denied universal health care, and are captive to poverty, unemployment, slums, drugs, crime, endless invasion and endless race competition and irreconcilable race tensions, that threatens to spill over into race war, while the capitalist-owned media, intelligentsia and NGOs censor information, deny information and thus deny informed consent, and pump out nothing but lies, propaganda and indoctrination to dispossessed and exploited European Americans who also face the danger of demographic threat. The by-product of US-Anglo led capitalism in its final stages is destroying Europe and the future of all Europeans.

CIA, Media, Communications Professor & CIA PsyOps

Planet Tokyo Hanging to get into some interesting news, but I feel like I've been run over by a truck.  Face feels swollen; think I'm getting an ulcer; even my back hurts; and I can barely concentrate to read ... but I'm hoping to come good again after a couple of coffees or something.   LOL Looked at the CIA and the media article by James F Tracy, but I can't really focus on all that detail. Although the writer is referred to as a 'conspiracy theory professor' and 'the so-called nutty professor' [DailyMail], I'm pretty sure the material on the CIA is verifiable. James F Tracy, tenured professor of media studies, was fired from Florida Atlantic University for his analysis of the Sandy Hook shootings.  In turn, Tracy has filed a claim against the university. Dr. Tracy, an award-winning American academic with expertise in communications, media, and conspiracy studies, was awarded lifetime tenure by Florida Atlantic University in 2008. He holds a Ph.D. in mass communications and taught courses at FAU in Communications, including a course entitled “Culture of Conspiracy”. Tracy won a Project Censored award in 2013 for the story, “Wireless Technology: A Looming Health Crisis,” which was featured in Censored 2013: Dispatches From the Media Revolution. FAU school officials first threatened Tracy with disciplinary action after a defamatory local and national media attack concerning Tracy’s online postings in early 2013. However, the University’s administration withdrew its initial threats following intervention by Tracy’s union representatives at UFF and FEA. In late 2015, Professor Tracy was again threatened with disciplinary action for requesting clarification on and questioning changes made to the University’s vague and confusing “Conflict of Interest/Outside Activities” policy. Instead of coming to his aid, Tracy’s faculty union representatives, including representatives and officials from UFF and FEA, conspired with and aided the University in terminating Tracy’s tenured employment—denying him meaningful representation and defense against the University’s threatened discipline. globalresearch Think it's weird of the media to refer to a tenured communications professor as being 'the so-called nutty professor' and 'conspiracy theory professor' (instead of communications professor, or whatever his official title was), and when he tough taught a 'the culture of conspiracy' course, which presumably examined ... conspiracy.  LOL [can't type straight today] Paul Craig Roberts Why Was Professor James F. Tracy Fired? If the official line on the Sandy Hook school shooting is correct, why would a tenured university professor be fired for examining the official story? When people have to be fired for looking into things, it means what is being looked into cannot stand the light of day. paulcraigroberts I started looking at the CIA and the media, because I have trouble believing that the Pentagon Papers affair was genuine (versus some CIA op itself). When the media is capitalist owned, CIA infiltrated, complicit, controlled etc, in oligarchy controlled USA (and has been for decades, and a press that was most likely capitalist controlled since the invention of the printing press ... which few peasants or non-shill working-class people would make use of / plus a film industry that is likewise in control of capitalists), why would a CIA collaborator such as The New York Times be actually publishing anything the CIA didn't want the public to know about? "Pentagon Papers, CIA and the Lies of Daniel Ellsberg" Ellsberg’s connections to the heroin trade’s principal players, the fact he’d been in liaison with the CIA covert war (separate to the regular military) bosses and was plugged into the highest levels of the Indochina covert operations scene, as his work assignment. Related to this, Ellsberg had taken on covert operations assignments in Saigon for the CIA chief of station. One of Ellsberg’s colleagues of that era then drops the bombshell he was the one who’d passed along instruction for Ellsberg to release the Pentagon Papers. This person is a contact Valentine had been sent to by former CIA Director and one time CIA Vietnam ‘dirty war’ (Phoenix Program) boss William Colby, who incidently (1996) almost certainly was murdered for having been too free with giving up the agency’s dirty laundry. Moreover, it is credibly alleged William Colby himself had sent on the instruction for the Pentagon Papers release. Finally, the question is raised, why is Ellsberg still associating with those very CIA people he worked with in Vietnam (he avoids talking about in his autobiography), decades after the fact? Valentine’s research matches the entirely independent (and highly suppressed) material in the exposé of a former Pentagon liaison to the CIA, ‘The Secret Team‘, by Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty. The reasons given for the Pentagon Papers release, by both Valentine and Prouty, is to shift any scrutiny and public attention away from the CIA and its activities in Vietnam; inclusive of narcotics trafficking & dirty war assassinations (Valentine’s focus) and how clandestine CIA policies were implemented to the detriment of the USA national interest (Prouty’s focus.) We have been saying that the release of the Pentagon Papers by the former CIA agent and long-time associate of Edward G. Lansdale, Daniel Ellsberg, may have been the opening attack by the CIA to cover its disengagement not only from the physical conflict in Indochina, but also from the historical record of that disastrous event. In this effort, the CIA appears to be trying to hide behind its own best cover story, that it is only an intelligence agency and that its fine intelligence work during the past twenty years on the subject of Southeast Asia is all that we should remember. Now we find in Cooper another CIA apologist using the Foreign Affairs review to follow up and to praise Ellsberg. In fact, Cooper’s exhilaration in his task gets the better of him when he says, “Thanks to Daniel Ellsberg …” he means it! This near-endorsement of Ellsberg by a CIA writer in the publication of the Council on Foreign Relations is all the more significant when one learns that this Council is supported by foundations which are in turn directed by men from the Bechtel Corporation, Chase Manhattan Bank, Cummins Engine, Corning Glass, Kimberly-Clark, Monsanto Chemical, and dozens of others. Not long ago, the political scientist Lester Milbraith noted that “the Council on Foreign Relations, while not financed by government, works so closely with it that it is difficult to distinguish Council actions stimulated by government from autonomous actions.” ... ronaldthomaswest archive.is It looks like this article by Ronald Thomas West might be part of an eight-part series. Not sure I can even get through this single article.  I'll try to wade through it after another cigarette. I'm wrecked. O.M.G.  this Ronald Thomas West guy is interesting.  Not sure what's going on here.  LOL I can't keep up with all of this. A S S A S S I N A T E D? Former CIA Director William Colby in brief: 1996 - solo canoe trip, Rock Point, Maryland Colby's body found marshy riverbank lying face-down 30-40 meters from location of canoe EXTRACTS Why Was Former CIA Director William Colby Assassinated? Now, what's interesting about the death of Bill Colby was that, even his wife got on CNN and said "Oh, this is very unlike Bill Colby." Because he was a very safe canoer. He left the house opened, he left the computer on, the coffee maker on, and all this. This was actually publicly and very briefly stated, but then, of course, it was written off as an "accidental" drowning while he was out canoeing on the Potomac River. SG: Now, in reality, it's very much like what's being portrayed where art now is imitating life in "The Manchurian Candidate", where there is a Senator who was going to blow the whistle on this transnational group that was running all this and he is murdered by this manchurian candidate in the Chesapeake Bay when he's out kayaking and it's made to look like a drowning accident and is reported out through the media shills (of course, most of the Big Media are shills for these kind of guys, or just extremely naïve), as an accidental drowning. source ART IMITATING LIFE ... CIA Ties to Hollywood on Verge of Being Exposed June 27, 2016 By Clarice Palmer An amendment added to Congress’ annual intelligence spending bill may help the public gain a better idea of the U.S. government’s relationship with Hollywood. According to VICE News, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), and committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC), included an amendment to S. 3017 that would require the Director of National Intelligence to submit reports detailing the relationship between the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agencies and Hollywood. It would also require 15 other agencies to disclose the nature of their relationships with the film industry. These reports would have to be presented annually to congressional oversight committees. Between 2006 and 2011, VICE reported, the CIA’s Office of Public Affairs (OPA) had a role in at least 22 of the U.S. entertainment industry’s projects. Some of the productions listed by VICE included the films Argo and Zero Dark Thirty, television shows like Top Chef and Covert Affairs, and documentaries such as the History channel’s Air America and the BBC’s The Secret War on Terror. The book, The Devil’s Light, also had the help of the CIA. Some of the most controversial findings regarding the relationship between OPA officials and Hollywood insiders were tied to the blockbuster, Zero Dark Thirty. According to the redacted and previously classified December 2012 CIA report released by Judicial Watch, the CIA granted “‘secret level’ access to the makers of the movie Zero Dark Thirty.” According to VICE, “filmmakers Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal showered CIA officers involved in the operation with gifts and received unprecedented access, which included the disclosure of classified information to Bigelow and Boal by CIA director Leon Panetta.” While these revealing facts shocked the world at the time of their release, the relationship between the CIA and the entertainment industry actually dates back to the 1950s. According to an interview with Public Radio International, Tricia Jenkins, author of The CIA in Hollywood, says that the CIA “developed a think tank to fight communist ideology, which negotiated the rights to George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ – getting a talking pig on the screen 20 years before ‘Charlotte’s Web.’” The agency pressed for “line changes in 1950s scripts to make black characters more dignified, and white characters more tolerant” in order to promote “an attractive image of America to a world picking sides in the Cold War.” In 1996, PRI reports, the CIA employed a Hollywood liaison. Chase Brandon was the cousin of actor Tommy Lee Jones, a relationship that lent the agency a great number of valuable Hollywood connections. After Brandon was brought on, Jenkins explains, the portrayal of the CIA changed:     Before the 1990s, in films like ‘Three Days of the Condor’, the CIA was portrayed as evil, amoral assassins, or sometimes buffoons, like Max on the TV show ‘Get Smart’. “Now,” Jenkins told PRI, “it’s a much more favorable presentation. Frequently being depicted as a moral organization that is highly efficient. It rarely makes mistakes, it’s needed more than ever.” PRI reports that some of the productions that had received support from the CIA since the 1990s included The Sum of All Fears. Television productions such as 24, Homeland, and Alias, which ran in the 2000s, also received CIA guidance and input. Uglier Hollywood portraits have also been produced without the CIA consent, such as Syriana, which was developed with the help of former agents. Once Feinstein’s and Burr’s amendment, along the Intelligence Authorization bill, is voted on by the Senate, we may know more about the relationship between Hollywood and the CIA.

AMERICA'S CIA LIE FACTORY EXPOSED  I LOVE YOU, RUSSIA http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/russian-troll-who-came-cold/ri15987 The Russian Troll Who Came in from the Cold Russian “Troll Factory” story revisited Yana Dianova Subscribe to Yana Dianova Mon, Aug 8, 2016 | 3,622    Comments  The author is a Moscow based private practice lawyer. The first part of her investigation was published in RI here Trolling has become America’s top export since the dawn of the 21st century. It has become the new American reality, through which every self-imposed tragedy is viewed, attributed and resolved. Facts can no longer be separated from fiction, and if anyone finds fault with this bold, new paradigm, then just blame Russia. Or Putin! It was widely reported by the American  mainstream media that Russia-based Internet trolls have been working hard in social networks for the last several years disseminating pro-Kremlin and anti-Western talking points on blogs and in the comments sections of news websites in Russia and abroad. The revelations were made by an “activist” Lyudmila Savchuk who worked at an alleged ″troll’ factory″ - the Agency of Internet Researches located at 55 Savushkina Street, St. Petersburg that purportedly employed as many as 400 people, from January through March 2015.   Ms. Savchuk, a single mother of two, who allegedly signed up for the 40,000 to 50,000 Rubles ($700-870) monthly salary, must have worked under extremely dire conditions, for no video clip, email communications, trolling screenshot, salary slip or bank record has been spirited out to corroborate her allegations. Not even a cafeteria slip at the “troll factory” paid with a credit card. Security must have been tight; so tight that the cavity checks the FBI had subjected Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade, over allegations of visa fraud and tax evasion, would have paled [by] comparison. Either that or the Russians may possess a magical delete button that can wipe out every incriminating nanobyte from existence. We can be sure that Hillary Clinton would have paid a premium for this technical marvel but for now, she has to settle for the hordes of trolls she probably helped create. Furthermore, no hard evidence regarding the sponsorship of this trolls’ Agency by the Russian government was ever provided either by Ms.Savchuk or her lawyers while the Kremlin officially repudiated any connection therewith.  [comment:  LOL.  I love the Russians.  They're so funny.  OMG, I can't believe he got cavity checked (that means BUTT!) over a minor administrative type of matter.  If this is what the FBI do to DIPLOMATS over routine inquiries, IMAGINE what the Americans do to *ordinary* people who are powerless, compared to a foreign diplomat.   The US-Anglo Capitalist Empire REALLY IS the EVIL EMPIRE.   ] It would have taken much audacity on the part of  Ms. Savchuk, a freelance journalist, whose only visible occupation according to her VKontakte profile and some other sources is the ″Information Peace″ movement (″Информационный мир″) ″created in 2014 by St. Petersburg citizens as counterbalance the official propaganda and paid trolls activities″, to engage in such an undertaking as exposing ″Kremlin propaganda trolls″ and filing a lawsuit against the Internet Research Agency for a failure to formalize employment relations with her.  Luckily, she was assisted by an informal association of lawyers and journalists  "Team 29" which  ″has picked up the baton from the Freedom of Information Foundation that had been defending the rights for information access for ten years before the Ministry for Justice of Russia marked it as a "foreign agent" NGO.". The Freedom of Information Foundation (FIF) was founded in 2004 by an advocate Ivan Pavlov and ″defended right to access to information on activities of government bodies and bodies of local self-government″.  [comment:  LMAO.  I love Russia.  Kick them all out.  Please give me asylum.  Western freedom is a lie and the phony 'progressive' West sucks hard. ] Among the sponsors of FIF according to its Web site were such institutions as:     The National Endowment for Democracy, ″launched in the early 1980s, premised on the idea that American assistance on behalf of democracy efforts abroad would be good both for the U.S. and for those struggling around the world for freedom and self-government″, supported by the U.S. Congress;  CIA Director William J. Casey worked with senior CIA covert operation specialist Walter Raymond Jr. to establish NED in 1983. Casey – from the CIA – and Raymond – from his assignment inside President Ronald Reagan’s National Security Council –  focused on creating a funding mechanism to support groups inside foreign countries that would engage in propaganda and political action that the CIA had historically organized and paid for covertly.  NED board members and experts representing compromising corporate-financier special interests include: Marilyn Carlson Nelson (NED secretary), a co-CEO of one of the largest privately held companies in the world, Carlson Holdings operating hotels around the world; he also serves on the board of Exxon Mobil and chairs the U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board;  Marne Levine (Facebook, Coo, Instagram), Mark Ordan (WP Glimcher – real estate), and with Carl Gershman, Princeton Lyman, Stephen Sestanovich, and Melanne Verveer serving as members of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) – a corporate-financier funded think-tank representing the collective economic and geopolitical ambitions of Wall Street, London, and Brussels’ most powerful special interests.  According to a 2013 disclosure (.pdf) NED  is funded by among others, Chevron, Coca-Cola, Goldman Sachs, Google, Microsoft, and the US Chamber of Commerce.     The Open Society Institute (OSI) founded in 1993 by the multibillionaire hedge-fund manager George Soros. Open Society foundations are active in more than 70 countries around the world. OSI, for its part, is chiefly devoted to injecting capital into U.S.-based groups and causes. It reportedly pumped millions into opposition movements and “independent” media in Hungary, Ukraine and Georgia under the guise of strengthening civil society, only to have like-minded individuals nominated by Soros’s own foundation come to power in those countries.     U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) established by executive order of President Kennedy in 1961. It is confirmed that USAID, in particular, played a major role in funding opposition groups prior to the coup in 2014 in the Ukraine. According to 5 Channel reportage Team 29 has been engaged in a scheme for  "laundering" NGOs grants, without registering as a foreign agent as required by Russian law. Mr. Pavlov was hasty to claim on his Facebook page that Team 29 specifically supplied to 5 Channel the false ″insider″ information on handling the grants but did not argue against the very fact of financing of Team 29 by certain non-Russian NGOs. It mentioned that Mr. Pavlov’s wife, an American citizen, Jennifer Gaspar, who had been working in Russia for 10 years ″assisting various NGOs″, in August 2014 was deprived of a residence permit and denied Russian citizenship due to her activities aimed ″at violently changing the constitutional order″, as established by the concerned Russian agencies.  [comment:  OMG.  I love you Russia.  Let me in ... where it's NORMAL and not propaganda, illegitimate ideology, illegitimate policy and an evil program of INVASION.  Help us, Russia.  ] This is the thoroughbred pedigree of the US-sponsored Russian “truth” movement that bases its “human rights” crusades on a pack of lies, innuendoes and relentless trolling; most of which are funded at the expense of the increasingly impoverished US taxpayer.  [comment:  OMG, Russia.  That was sooooooooo good.  Say that again.  ;)  ] http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/russian-troll-who-came-cold/ri15987 COMMENT That's the best thing I've read in ages.  I love you, Russia. Don't let the evil US-Anglo oligarchs win. Look how greedy they are:  it's NEVER enough.  They have vast, unimaginable wealth and still they want to f*ck over other people and nations to exploit them for yet more profits (as if the early 1990s rape of the Russian people was not enough).  Thieves.
