Details Surface of How Ron DeSantis Is Using a Registered Foreign Agent to Assemble His Online Influence Campaign
The Last Refuge ^ | June 5, 2023 | Sundance

Posted on 06/05/2023 12:42:12 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

altFormer DeSantis Press Secretary Christina Pushaw came directly to the Florida Governor’s office after working in Ukraine on behalf of Volodymyr Zelenskyy. There is a clear commonality of interest in the actions of Pushaw both in Ukraine and in Florida.

Once the national DeSantis operation was fully constructed and funded, in August 2022 Pushaw left the governor’s office to assemble and coordinate the previously solicited social media influencers for the 2024 operation.

After organizing the operatives, Pushaw is now spearheading a U.S. online influence campaign.

In essence, a registered foreign agent is now working on the social media platform Twitter to construct disinformation on behalf of Ron DeSantis. Elon Musk is apparently a partner in the effort, as the details of the operation begin to surface.

Their intelligence community method is to use operatives within Twitter “community notes” to control any negative opinion of DeSantis. If anything is identified that undermines the DeSantis operation, Pushaw triggers a specific account “@NoteNeeded” which contains embed operatives who swarm to her commands and affix labels to Tweets designated as harmful to the interests of the DeSantis regime.

The DeSantis election influence operation is similar to what the U.S. State Dept (Nuland) and USAID (S Power) do in foreign countries; only in this example, Ms. Pushaw is working to influence domestic U.S. politics through the social media platform Twitter.

The various accounts all carry the same alligator emoji as an identifying characteristic. Here’s an example of the operation at work, as well as an explanation from Twitter that just doesn’t reconcile with the claims.

Twitter claims the notes they affix to the targets identified by Ms. Pushaw are not triggered by complaints. However, what exactly is Ms. Pushaw doing in the bottom example, if not complaining? A heavy dose of pretending is needed to accept the premise of the Twitter platform. MAGA does not pretend; there is no need.

The @NoteNeeded account, has gone private – restricting access as soon as the operation was identified. This seems to be a rather odd move to make, considering the argument of the entire enterprise is based around truthfulness. If the @NoteNeeded account has nothing to hide, then why take the account private permitting visibility only from the approved members.

altIt is obvious the Ron DeSantis ’24 operation originated on a principle of being fraudulent in purpose to the Florida voter in 2022. The DeSantis operation was assembled, financed and planned long before the reelection effort of the Florida governor. The visible indicators of the plan stretch as far back as 2020.

What we are seeing today is a billionaire funded scheme to promote Ron DeSantis, and part of that scheme involves deploying online activists, what they call “influencers”, as conscripts for the effort. Ms. Pushaw, a registered foreign agent, is the leading organizer of this assembly. The goal is to elevate the impression of Ron DeSantis and use weaponized platform rules to attack any voice that might rise in opposition to their agenda.

Obviously, as CTH represents the key account that predicted, publicized and then deconstructed the scheme of the Sea Island billionaire class on behalf of DeSantis, our Twitter account is one of the primary targets for the Pushaw operation. I will admit to laughing at them hysterically, because quite frankly they are joyless idiots mired in a profound sense of self-importance, perpetual anger and blame-casting. The entire DeSantis tribe trigger very easily.

All of that said, in this era where Big Government and Big Tech have merged to control information, block freedom of expression and thought, the intention of the DeSantis operation –which is based entirely on control– speaks rather loudly to what the DeSantis policy handlers would do if he were ever to reach federal office.

DeSantis has already grown the size and power of state government more than any FL governor before him. DeSantis has created all the tools for a weaponized state government as soon as Democrats take power. While ignoring the essential economic needs of the state in order to create the optical legislation for a 2024 presidential run around anti-wokeism, the people behind DeSantis will walk away from Florida having created the state authoritarian boot that will sit upon our neck.

In a similar way that Republican George W. Bush expanded government with the Patriot Act, ultimately creating weapons like the Dept of Homeland Security, the TSA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, so too has DeSantis created an internal system of State agencies that will be weaponized as soon as he retires and flees the state he compromised. Be forewarned.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is to the presidency of Ukraine as Ron DeSantis would seek to become by attaining the presidency of USA. Both men are puppets for people really in charge behind them.

So you’re contending the election wasn’t stolen in 2020? If that’s the case then you really can’t be taken seriously on anything else then.

“This guy gets paid to post. He’s on the payroll. Trump is buying influencers to keep the faithful on board.”


That’s ridiculous. Trump was elected in 2016 for his recognition that the left’s policies were destroying this nation. And, on the fact that the media was fake and complicit in the left’s planned destruction. Trump didn’t need paid “influencers” then and he doesn’t need them now. Sundance has been reporting on the left and GOPe’s corruption for years. No one has to pay him to report on such, just like no one has to pay him now for his reporting that the GOPe is promoting DeSantis.

If DeSantis is the nominee, I will vote for him since there is no way I’ll vote for a democrat. However, I want Trump to have the four years that were stolen from him in coordination between the Democrats, the media, and the GOPe.

Ron’s campaign workers are proving to be underhanded.

“There would be none of this if DeSantis would have simply supported Trump and finished his term as Governor.”

DeSantis and a few of us still want to have a nation after 2024, so can’t afford Trump’s inevitable 2024 loss. He might win if the US goes into a deep depression or we get nuked.

I wish we could do polls here, even though many Freepers say polls are worthless.

My guess? Around 80% Trump, 20% DeSantis on this forum.

But hopefully there is some civility within the Republican party.

I totally agree with you - your children need to be absolutely civil when they have to pay for the RINO approved Debt they, with your approval, will inherit

Yep.

It’s an incendiary story about how the desantis campaign is using twitter to fake support for desantis and make attacks on Trump and Trump/MAGA supporting twitter posters.

All supposedly against the rules, because the notes are suppose to be independent and spontaneous comments.

Not a secret organized campaign group of media and optic spinners.

Are you ready to start talking about Trump’s porn stars, his hiring choices, the support of LGBTQ, his lack of loyalty, his support for North Korea, etc.?

----

Why should he?

You, as a desantis supporter, are here in this thread, trying to throw it off the topic.

And that is, the desantis campaign has someone who may have conflicted interest, because she of her foreign connections, who is illegally (because it's against the twitter rules) coordinating social media post, to influence things for desantis and against Trump and his supporters.

And this going off the topic, is part of the pattern the left uses when they can't defend viewpoints or positions, and that is they


lie and mis-direct the arguement, go off on tangents,
change the subject,
start moving the goal post,
and when all that fails, they start doing personal attacks

Why don't you stick to discussing the topic in this thread?

Oh, that's right.... it another piece of evidence that shows how deceitful and corrupt desantis is.

No, I am just not going to sit by while people savage candidates to bolster Trump’s campaign. We get it Trump and his supporters are insecure, but play nicely or deal with us dragging all of Trump’s dirty laundry.

No need to instigate a fight. The fight has already been declared. It was declared when DeSantis stepped into the ring, if not sooner. You act as if you don’t know what primary season is or its purpose. Do you really expect a chorus of Kumbaya from the two candidates and their supporters? Sulking about the reality of primary season is pointless. It is what it is and it’s been this way for years.

Really the only people I see on this forum supporting DeSantis are the pro-war neocon types.

I’d add the church lady types to the pro-war neocon types.

The old guard is the old guard, they do not fade away like old generals.

As any old guard they tend to bend to any authority, be it legitimate or not.

They cannot accept there was even an attempted coup, let alone the ever growing evidence that the attempt succeeded.

Sundance cannot easily be dismissed as hard as the Ronbots may try.

Well my gasoline was running about 1.75 back then and my electric bill was about 50 a month lower when Trump was in.
And… Regarding RDS…Then there’s this I just read locally here in Florida if someone is a renter…

Not at all. It was 100% stolen.

But Trump didn’t see it coming. As POTUS he didn’t see it coming nor do anything to prevent it.

I guess you would like me to just “trust the plan” for another election cycle?
