Here We Go Again – CNN Promotes US Intel Report of Russian Disinformation
theconservativetreehouse.com ^ | 8/25/2023 | sundance

Posted on 08/28/2023 2:31:19 PM PDT by bitt

Today is a good time to remind everyone that CNN represents the public relations arm of the U.S State Department.

Two overlays: first, most non-U.S. government entities regard CNN as the state run media for the U.S. State Department, because it is. Second, the U.S. State Dept is the umbrella organization for most global CIA operations. In essence, the intel community reports that surface from CNN are from the State Dept/CIA.

In this latest example, the unnamed U.S. intelligence officials are once again promoting the proactive narrative that Russian FSB services are responsible for manipulating smaller networks of U.S. social media accounts, resulting in a disinformation program that flows upwards into mainstream media.

I find it interesting that the State Dept/CIA would push this narrative immediately following the suspicious reports of Yevgeny Prigozhin killed in a plane crash.

Washington, CNN – Russian intelligence is operating a systematic program to launder pro-Kremlin propaganda through private relationships between Russian operatives and unwitting US and western targets, according to newly declassified US intelligence.

US intelligence agencies believe that the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) is attempting to influence public policy and public opinion in the West by directing Russian civilians to build relationships with influential US and Western individuals and then disseminate narratives that support Kremlin objectives, obscuring the FSB’s role through layers of ostensibly independent actors.

CIA direct interference in our domestic politics is more than adequate reason to shut it down.

facts are facts, regardless of the noise.
Interpretation of facts can be absurd, possible, probable, almost certain or very certain.

Very certain: War is hell. Both Russia and Ukraine are paying a high price.

Almost certain: Joe Biden triggered the war by agreeing to finance Putin. Putin could only wage war if the price of the fossil fuel he sells is high. Joe Biden Jan 2021 rased the price, more than doubling it to aid Putin in the war. Conspiracists would claim Joe Biden did it so he could then justify aid to Ukraine. Joe Biden is not that smart. Bad decisions lead to further Bad Decisions.

Narrative= Ideas

The statists would censor ideas based on their origin. And based on whether they support the statist objective.

this is the cia response to tucker carlson announcing that he’d like to do an interview with putin.

If putins minions have any sense —they would jump at the chance.

cia is looking to defenistrate the interview in the event that it actually goes off.

Biden gives Zelensky another $40 billion US tax dollaes.

"And I put $20 billion in an offshore account for you, Joe, just like Hunter told me to."
