A lot of FUD being spread about this because of politics. To be clear I support Ukiraine fully have from the beginning. Misquoting the DOJ indictment seems to be a major sport on social media. I fully support Ukraine. I have from the beginning but I will defend the principle we have in the US of "innocent until proven guilty" until the end. The test of caring about rights is caring about rights of those who you disagree with every bit as much as the rights of those you agree with. IMO if you can't pass that test then you are just a fair weather fan of our rights which doesn't mean you respect them. Lets also be realistic about what this is. We aren't talking about someone passing classified documents to a foreign government. Except where money changed hands directly between a foreign power and US citizens who knew what it was really for this is about people on social media saying things and frankly if that alone can sway your voting habits and you don't get background and make your own informed decision based on what you hear then I wonder if you should be voting. I am not going to fall for the faux outrage on this blowing it up out of proportion and extending it to people who aren't even named in the indictment let alone who haven't been convicted in this situation just because I disagree with what they say. To say without evidence that any of these content creators knew where this money came from solely because one disagrees with their views is to claim that there is no possible way anyone could disagree on US aid to Ukraine or the war in general unless they did which just isn't true. There are matters of national debt, past US foreign involvement and opposition to war and conflict at play here that one can either be honest about existing or just be bitter and suspicious of which will never end. The fact is every country on the planet who thinks US foreign policy has an effect on them does things like this. They use money, they lobby, they do all manner of things to try to sway the American public in part because as much as we might think we have problems with our system here and with how much control over government we have, we have a hell of a lot more control then most people in the world and so they try to influence that.
"Billionaires own things, they aren't on boards" - Totally wrong and the sort of thing that comes from someone out of his depth. Just for example, Elon Musk is Chair of the Space-X Board (which means he's on it). It is quite common for CEO/Founders of companies, when they leave active management of the company, to stay on the Board, often as Chair.
I still don't see how they were duped? I mean was it a Ron Burgundy situation where they just read whatever was on the teleprompter? It seems to me they had some agency to say, "no, that sounds like Russian propaganda and I am not going to amplify it."
Why isn't the same attention paid to those livestreamers? I spent 20 minutes today and clicked on a Dr.Disrespect stream, watching at least $5,000 be donated within a super short period of time. They literally put messages and used screen names to highlight that prince Bin Salman was watching the stream and donating though proxies...
I suspect Tenet Media was intentionally posing as having some relation with Tenet Healthcare, a for-profit multinational healthcare services company based in Dallas, Texas, United States which operates 65 hospitals and over 450 healthcare facilities.
It's neat seeing the behind the scenes things here. Makes you wonder how many people don't think for themselves. You keep it real. I noticed that when I started watching your videos some time ago. I've seen other Ukraine youtubers that we all know try sponsorship for a short time, then dumped them to.
Why would Russia pay influencers anyone who reads the U.N charter realizes Russia has the legality to help the people in the Donbas who no longer want to be part of Ukraine.
I had someone trying contact me threw Telegram,Whats Up App sending me phone numbers asking me to reach out i ignore them all i could use money not jail cell.
@Combat Veteran Reacts Q: if someone suddenly offered you massive amounts of $$ to push Russian propaganda would you "innocently" just take it or would you find out who TF they are?
yeah.... No-one is surprised, I hope? Even in the early days of the mangy pig-dog Erdogan's time at the helm of Turkey, things were looking fairly good for a more democratic Turkey respecting the human rights of the people in Turkey. Kurdish parties allowed, Kurdish language less suppressed. But then Erdogan wanted more power and went more nationalistic and started going anti-western. Then that fake coup attempt. Turkey keeps effectively supporting Assad in Syria. etc. For Turkey to now re-align itself more with Russia would make the sides in the northern middle east look more like two adverserial blocks instead of a weird muddle of contradictory alliances.
There is no shortage of Nonsense to pronounce on social media platforms sponsored by terrorists to fit their narrative, fairy tale, 3 day special operation etc.. Js NAFO
With the caveat that this whole indictment business could be legitimate let me offer the following reasons to be, at least skeptical. 1. This is the same DOJ, run by Garland that interfered with the 2020 election by suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop. 2. This is the same DOJ Garland) who, perhaps illegally, appointed Jack Smith to prosecute Trump. 3. This is the same DOJ who had a senior staffer "assigned" to support the NY prosecutions of Trump. 4. All the commentators mentioned are Trump supporters. 5.This is the same DOJ that prosecuted/persecuted the J6ers and did not charge anyone associated with the George Floyd riots. 6. Speaking of J6 this is the same DOJ who hasn't been able to find the individual(s) who placed bombs at the DNC and RNC. 7. With a history of election interference from this DOJ please note that is again election season - an "October Surprise" a little early?
Not that I ever want to make excuses for partisan talking heads, but I completely dig why these guys would jump at that kind of money (welcome to today's America). However, no one in the history of people, would not have huge questions about WHY someone was willing to pay them somewhere north of 5X their max total draw. Then add to that, they sold out their country. Which perhaps doesn't mean what it did decades ago, what with globe hopping, multi-passport billionaires as common as a cold these days.
Love the channel, long time viewer here. Correct me if I'm wrong, Tim Pool said it was for licensed videos. In other words, they make their videos as normal w/o any guidance from anyone else. The timming is soooo suss, right before the election. Seems like a very sloppy operation at best, or is it? Also, please note that Tim's vidoes were routinely getting 200-300k plus views per video until about a year ago when they nose-dived...Hmn, I wonder why. He's also on Rumble because of the shadow banning.
Ayo Russia, life in America isn't turning out the way I was told it would in school... how much money are you offering? Is it enough to move countries and denounce my American Citizenship? Cause not gonna lie Norway is looking pretty nice. If the money is enough... I may be swayed.
One way to do it is to take their money, make those videos supporting Russia, after a couple of months make a video saying that you were scamming Russia, and then donate the proceeds to Ukraine. With this the US gets the taxes and you would get a tax deduction for the donation. Assuming taxes are 50% then 50% would go to the United States and you get a 50% deduction from your taxes. Just a thought.
