Love the title...

Newly discovered correspondence allegedly incriminates...

Correctiv ??
"Battling against "disinformation"... LOL..
Seriously- Lending credence to that NWO propagandist content?
You guys over there are way behind Americans in the propaganda world.

Propagandism might have been invented in Europe...
but if you're paying attention...
You should know, We have perfected it over here...
