The Kremlin is turning to unwitting Americans and commercial public relations firms in Russia to spread disinformation about the U.S. presidential race, top intelligence officials said Monday, detailing the latest efforts by America’s adversaries to shape public opinion ahead of the 2024 election.
The warning comes after a tumultuous few weeks in U.S. politics that have forced Russia, Iran and China to revise some of the details of their propaganda playbook. What hasn’t changed, intelligence officials said, is the determination of these nations to seed the internet with false and incendiary claims about American democracy to undermine faith in the election.
“The American public should know that content that they read online — especially on social media — could be foreign propaganda, even if it appears to be coming from fellow Americans or originating in the United States,” said an official from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity under rules set by the office of the director.
Russia continues to pose the greatest threat when it comes to election disinformation, authorities said, while there are indications that Iran is expanding its efforts and China is proceeding cautiously when it comes to 2024.
That has literally never happened. Its something you’ve made up in its entirety. You and everyone else can review my entire comment history, or if you don’t mind (since you are making the claim), you can dig through and show us where I said that.
You are the toxic bane. You and the moderation that supported a view that was delivering Trump the whitehouse on a platter. You ARE that useful idiot. You, @JimSamtanko@lemm.ee , advocated, with relentless fervor, that we had to support Biden as candidate. That he was our only option, and to even question that was to make you “on the side of the enemy”. You worked to verbally abuse any kind of dissent into submission. Your trolling was supported and endorsed by the moderation here.
But you were wrong. In entirety. You were so massively wrong that even those you had baffled into believing your bullshit have turned. And thankfully we’ve avoided the massive damage you were causing. In-spite of you, not because you had some coming to jesus moment. But because reality is too big to deny.
You are that useful idiot @JimSamtanko@lemm.ee, who was doing the job of Russian propagandists for them.
I’m pretty sure calling someone a “useful idiot” is against the rules here bud.
Want to rewrite that temper tantrum of yours to be a bit more respectful?
I don’t give a shit dude. When I see liars and bullshit artists, I call them out. You are both.
You’ve been working your ass off to support a Russian assets political pursuit of the presidency, but I really don’t think you know what you were doing. I don’t think you think you are acting in bad faith. I give you the charity that you’re just a wildly, wildly mistaken and propagandized to idiot who needs healing.
Its charity that I call you a useful idiot and not something far worse.
Look at that… the very same mods you accuse of bias in your bullshit tirade are removing posts critical of you.
Imagine that.
I don’t think they should be deleting your posts. I think we need to keep the shit you say on display. I want to hold you accountable and when they delete the bullshit you spew, that makes my job harder (but not impossible).
Mods here will remove or ban you for breathing wrong.
I just breathed wrong. And I’m still here.
With a few removed comments. Give it time. Just be a little annoying and whack, the heavy hand of the abusive mod will come down upon you.
I’d remove shit that was annoying as well. I don’t see a downside to that.
Oh…. The irony is fucking delicious.
