“International Marxist Tendency reaches new low, republishes Swiss conspiracy theorist!”
“In a new low for the (International Marxist Tendency), they have just republished some articles by a man named Jacques Baud, a former Swiss army officer and intelligence expert turned conspiracy theorist and Kremlin asset. According to his Wikipedia page, this loon has appeared on far-right conspiracist channels like the French-language Russia Today and the far-right YouTube channel TV Libertés, founded by a former member of the French National Front! His sordid record, which includes Darfur genocide denial and claims that the use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime in Syria are ‘false flags’, have been exposed by the journalist Antoine Hasday. (I do in fact read French – unfortunately for these idiots. I encourage all my readers to put the linked article in Google Translate and read about the false claims of this Kremlin stooge.) The IMT editorial board saw fit to publish, in translation, some of his outlandish claims about what is now going on in Ukraine. I do not have the time or the inclination to read this garbage in full or refute his idiotic claims, as such a source is obviously not trustworthy in any way. To think that this sect has degenerated so far since my departure that it would publish such drivel should not be a source of surprise to me. I cannot believe that people I once looked up to as paragons of rationality and wise leaders and teachers of the working-class could be reduced to this. They are so desperate to dig up dirt on NATO and the Ukrainian government that they are now trawling in the very sewers of public discourse for any village idiot to come forward and confirm their bigoted views – and who fits the bill better than a repentant ‘defector’ from the ruling class?”

Their Russian handlers recognized them for the useful idiots they are.
Oh sure, most rational thinkers would be swayed by a rant from an obscure “romantic individualist, free thinker, and aspiring singer and writer.” I think it’s the Zelenskyy fan boys who are desperate here.
