--- "What about the Russian Propaganda threads?"

A fascinating question. Would you be kind enough to post in a comment a couple of those Free Republic "Russian Propaganda threads?"

Thanks in advance.

——What about the Russian Propaganda threads?-—

More importantly, what about the war criminal advocates that post them.

Should Free Republic be supporting war criminals?

[Rocco DiPippo]

Yeah I know - I live in Sicily. While I'm chilling, having my morning coffee and looking at news, Team Youke starts kicking into high gear, so I often get to watch the maniacal propaganda-posting go down in real time.

One by one I'll see the major Team Youke members pop up while it's still bedtime across the US.

Team Youke is a concerted, coordinated effort. If I had the time and/or inclination to, I'd log the weekly Team Youke action in detail and send it over to Jim.

Hey, World Traveler? You interested in doing something like that? It would be a time consuming gig to do correctly but it's the type of thing that's squarely within your area of research expertise.

Have you noticed how often Ukraine propaganda threads attract like-minded, seminar posters? It’s almost as if it was done to show a faux enthusiasm for the Project.

Which war criminals is Free Republic supporting?

[JonPreston]

war criminal advocates

You're describing criminal activity. Name names, with examples.

[bert]

Not necessary to name names.

They all know who they are

What’s a “seminar poster?”

[AdmSmith]

Martti Kari. Finnish intel officer gives a good description of why Russia is the way it is:

Russia: What Western Leaders & Media Didn’t Understand About Its Strategic Culture?

Explanation and prediction of Russian state, how its toxic historical foundation, state cruelty, authoritarianism, broadly embedded hierarchy of kleptocratic corruption, shades of gray between truth, tactical truth, and lie, imperialism, conservatism, and exceptionalism hinders it from becoming a liberal free country.

Anything that favors Ukraine is considered here as Ukrainian Propaganda.

Anything here that favors Russia is considered here as Russian propaganda.

So you're insinuating members of FR are engaged in 'war crimes', a criminal activity, while refusing to identify them.

[bimboeruption]

This thread is brought to you by the Ministry of Propaganda of Ukraine.

“seminar poster?”

Rush had seminar callers years ago. They acted in concert to propagate lies and to make it appear they represent a majority. That's the same with our clique of Ukraine propaganda posters. They all hit the same notes, on the same threads, on the same day. Their message is exactly the same as the MSM and the cable news networks. Also, note the tight timeline when they come onto theses threads. It's often within minutes of each other. Months back, Granny Glee accidentally included me in on a PM that suggested others gather on a thread and seek me out. That kind of PM activity, I believe, is more common place than not.

Do you you think crook, perv, murderer, liar, homo Zelensky is good, right and holy?

[Rocco DiPippo]

Got it. Yes, there’s little doubt that there’s a cast of Youcrayniacs who coordinate their efforts here, whether its to coordinate the dissemination of pro-Youke talking points or to attack opponents. The evidence strongly suggests that. These people are pathetic, and un-American.

[Allegra]

Which war criminals is Free Republic supporting?

Yes, that’s quite an accusation. I’d be curious to know this as well.

Anything as nefarious as that should be exposed.

[bimboeruption]

>The purposeful misspelling of Russia is sickening and childish.<

Uh oh! Now mommy is going to kick into “professor” mode and give you her lesson on why zeepers spell Russia “Ruzzia”.

Mommy knows SOOO much...you’ll be gobsmacked.

Another fascinating comment, which is informative in ways perhaps not planned.

The video poster, Janne Hukkinen, is indeed in Finland, and has posted this video lecture by Martti J Kari, who passed away this last August (17 November 1960 -- 30 August 2023). Here is his death notice: https://yle.fi/a/74-20047719

One finds from the YouTube link that this particular video has to date " 634 views Oct 31, 2022 JYVÄSKYLÄ UNIVERSITY."

In terms of those channels marketing, the YouTube page of Janne Hukkinen shows: "The channel author is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, An affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com -- FTC Disclosure Statement: Some links on this youtube channel may be affiliate links. We may get paid if you buy something or take an action after clicking one of these."

So, a "cottage industry" is observed. Money. But to be fair, Kari's PhD thesis is available.

Looking at Janne Hukkinen posted videos, she seems somewhat new to war reporting, YouTube style, Hukkinen beginning the reporting about a year ago, halfway into this conflict. Joining the "click, donate, support" stratagem.

What was also interesting was your seemingly anomalous AdmSmith link:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4042550/posts?page=5655#5655

Much "AdmSmith to AdmSmith" with over 5600 comments to self, likely as a journal of Free Republic posts about the Ukraine-Russia war. Using Free Republic as a repository of comments posted to one's self, one supposes?
