Russian Money to Fuel Right-wing Propoganda Flowing to Canadians


Recommended Posts

Russia buying right-wing “independent” media to influence Canadian politics.  It explains a lot of right-wing talking points parroted on forums like this one. A lot of useful nincompoops soak this information up like sponges and regurgitate it on social media.

It is alleged that the Russians funnelled $10 million to covertly finance a Tennessee-based online content creation company as part of a “scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging.”


Those influencers include Surrey native Lauren Southern. In the nine months leading up to July 31 of this year, Southern created 94 videos for the network’s social media channels. In one of her videos, the 29-year-old describes the 2021 discovery of suspected unmarked graves at a former Kamloops residential school as a “hoax”.

"Useful id*ot" is a term that Russian intelligence has been using since at least WW2, and they've continued ever since.  

Most of these donkeys aren't actually traitors (though some are).  They're just too unintelligent to know how easily they're being manipulated.

From what I've seen, they didn't really talk much about Russia or Putin. And many of the videos only had views in the low thousands.

No mention here of Russian and Chinese money paid to Democrats? What a shock 😒

The last point about the unmarked graves may have some truth.

 

 

TWO YEARS AFTER the claim rocked the world that “the remains of 215 children” had been found on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, we know much more than we did at the time.

Probably the most important thing we now know about Kamloops is that 2,000 linear feet of trenches about 3 feet deep lined with clay tiles and running east-west were dug in 1924 as a septic field to dispose of the school’s sewage. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) cannot distinguish between a trench lined with clay tiles and a putative child’s grave. The GPR profile is very similar.

Unfortunately Dr. Sarah Beaulieu, Assistant Professor of Social, Cultural & Media Studies at the University of the Fraser Valley, didn’t know about the 1924 septic field when she did her GPR work at the former residential school as she hadn’t done the necessary archival research beforehand. She thus mistook the old septic field trenches for shallow children’s graves, and the fact that they ran east-west for proof that they were Christian burials.

There's no mention of any Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives, or Liberals 

Not any politicians.

 

Just "influencers"

Is Russia getting rid of their publicly funded broadcaster?

I'm not aware of political parties anywhere else in the world promising to rid their countries of public broadcasters. Why is it only in Canada that you find this moral panic?

A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

Of course not. Every communist dictatorship needs a publicly funded broadcaster. Why would they get rid of it

Perhaps ours is the most corrupt in the world. That certainly would explain it

but the Liberals, as the Natural Governing Party, are useful id*ots for Beijing

while the populist right may be useful id*ots for the Kremlin ; those people are not in government

It specifically mentioned donald trump  Is he not a politician? 

And are you saying that there are no "far right" politicians? Who do they mean by "the far right". 

So, yeah he did say it wasn't political, and that ONLY influencers were mentioned.  And thats a lie 

LOLOLOL  what were you saying about "clowning out" on your first line.?  LOL  that took you less than 1 second to look stupid this time, well done :)

LOL and again.  I say perhaps something is true ... and with your poor reading skills you think it says DEFINITELY true :) 

I guess that's your way of admitting your reading skills are at a grade 3 level :) 

 

Lets recap 

You claim he didn't say that politicians and politics weren't involved :  Article definitely says politicians and politics was involved. 

Your mad that i write better than you, 

AAND finally you don't know what the word "perhaps" means ;) 


And you wonder why nobody respects you :)   FFS kid, surely you can do better than THIS?

"What you've said is correct but you post too frequently so that makes it not true right?"

"uhh i don't really have a rebuttal soooo...  umm... TECHNICALLY THE WORD PERHAPS CAN MEAN DEFINITELY!!!! I say so!"

It would be in the best interest of some forum members (i.e. CdnFox) to read this article.

I am willing to bet that some prolific posters have been bought and paid for by the Kremlin,

In other words you can't emotionally cope with the fact that you're wrong and others prove it all the time, so you're crafting some bizarre narrative to suggest that the Kremlin is launching an attack on this tiny little site with about 30 regular posters in order to control politics in Canada and America.

LOL !  i think you should be more focused on THIS article mr white leftie liberal :

You sound upset because the Kremlin didn't offer you some money. Is that it?

Took millions in Kremlin cash, directed to promote Kremlin propaganda including Tucker Carlson’s ridiculous Moscow supermarket visit, spread lies about Ukraine.  
 

But we’ve known all this. We’ve known Moscow has had its talons and operatives in the western world’s right wing media and conservative groups and political campaigns for well over a decade. We’ve got Kremlin stooges like Nationalist and Taxme haunting this very site.   Every time the right wing says “so what doesn’t prove anything”. 

This is just more evidence they’ll ignore.

Oh please. Almost every major news station pays more in legal fees than these guys are providing. 

It's worth knowing and keeping in mind but to be blunt EVERY news organizaiton has special interests giving it large amounts of money one way or another. 

In short, the news is bias. And cnn and nbc are no better. 

it makes less impact than you think but sure, cnn, fox, nbc, etc etc are all bias. And it's good to know where money is coming from but you should already know that you need to check out more than one news source to get a clear picture. 

Tell me .. can you find ANYONE here who says fox has no bias?  I rather doubt it.

CdnFox is towing the Kremlin line like a pro. If he is not directly compensated financially for his efforts, then he is a fool.
