Details Surface of How Ron DeSantis Is Using a Registered Foreign Agent to Assemble His Online Influence Campaign
June 5, 2023 | Sundance | 174 Comments
Former 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.
It 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.
