WASHINGTON, Oct 20 (Reuters) - The United States on Friday released a U.S. intelligence assessment sent to more than 100 countries that found Moscow is using spies, social media and Russian state-run media to erode public faith in the integrity of democratic elections worldwide.
“This is a global phenomenon,” said the assessment. “Our information indicates that senior Russian government officials, including the Kremlin, see value in this type of influence operation and perceive it to be effective.”
A senior State Department official, briefing reporters on condition of anonymity, said that Russia was encouraged to intensify its election influence operations by its success in amplifying disinformation about the 2020 U.S. election and the COVID-19 pandemic.
This you?
If you see everyone that disagrees with you as an enemy, so be it.
I am more of a 3rd party kind of person, but believe whatever comes to your heart.
You don’t seem to realize you’ve been subject to the same propaganda this article is talking about.
As I suggested earlier, revisiting Snowden/Assange leaks would behoove us all.
Do you have a link or a suggestion? I’d like to look into that.
No, it was a long time ago. I expected it went to the memory hole but here’s one: https://popularresistance.org/ny-times-admits-it-sends-stories-to-us-government-for-approval-before-publication/You’d have to comb the dumps I mentioned for more, assuming you can find them. Maybe on the darkweb, but I’m obliged to give you a trigger warning for the darkweb itself and the dumps.
Duopoly has been a thing since before Russia Gate hoax.
To force change, people need to change how we vote.
If 3rd parties grow in strength, they can use that.
Local and state is more important, but long term 3rd parties can also help.
A first past the post voting system evolves essentially into a two party system like what we have now, regardless. If you want something else we need to change the voting system we use to elect people.
That would require people to stop going with the status quo, republicans show a glimpse of how it would look like.
Kicking out McCarthy when he did not do what they wanted, using only as an example of what democrats could do.
Actually, he did do what they wanted and they still kicked him out.
Not sure on that, they did have to vote multiple times so McCarthy can be speaker initially, with caveats involved.
I don’t think Gaetz liked the way it was going, he said he was willing to kick him out for any little thing.
Which did happen in the end.
I thought Sabby Sabs point of view showed it well, Matt Gatez pushes kevin mccarthy out (clip).
It’s still not a hoax no matter how many times you say it.
That is where we differ.
All the leaks from miltary and how main stream media is controlled by few billionaires.
Makes it hard to believe certain things.
Thank you for pushing back on my view, I do not like being in a bubble.
The article is pointing to important information, in the end of the day.
Sorry this post was hard on you, no one deserves to be mobbed. You did well defending yourself. It’s happened to me. Sometimes being the first to post a comment, especially when you’re just commenting for fun, can be problematic. I got into a semantic debate about capitalism and the meaning of depression/ recession weeks ago that taught me that lesson. It’s strange how groups tend congregate around different topics.
Not sure if I did well, hahaha
I did learn way more than what the article mentions, which is a win!
It is always great when opposing opinions can talk with each other!
I agree. I talked with a person on here who claimed to be from North Korea. They trolled me until they realized I wasn’t antagonistic and genuinely wanted to learn about their country. Then they stopped responding. I still want to learn about the daily life of a North Korean.
Yeah, I am not seeing it that way.
I see it as falling for the US military propanganda narrative.
More wars so more dividing of people by countries that neither government helps the working class.
I mean, you’re still wrong. This has nothing to do with the countries population. There’s a ton of hostile influence campaigns going on. The U.S. has done it a dozen times over in other countries, and you think it’s just us falling for U.S. propaganda? A little naive don’t you think.
Your post history betrays you
In what way?
I post on different thinks.
Do I really have to say it? Even your username says it by itself
