Russia secretly funneled $10M to Right-Wing Youtubers according to DOJ 

Translation: *Looks to the Chinese spy running nys policy* "yea I'll ignore that because I'm a closeted orwellian"

What kind of bridge…?

Whatever davespanksalot is willing to pay I'll double it!

TRIPLE IT!!!

Their willingness to accept such a lucrative deal from such a shady benefactor with minimal questions asked tells you they've done this kind of thing before.

Ooh that's wonderful lol not surprised but jeeeze

So Russians aren't allowed to do business in the us?

@@mike-ws3jl if the business is "spread misinformation and influence people by constantly making videos that are anti Ukrainian and pro Russian, here's 100k a week to do so", then yes, they are not allowed lmao.

.But they knew they were being paid to promotes lies that made Russia look good. So....do the math.

Good point

Underrated comment. It’s not funny that he’s bald. It’s funny he tries so hard to hide it. Like a hipster comb over.

He’s not going to take it of

Someone took it off off him once. He's bald.

Thank you. You saved me a posting. 😊👍

For starters, you yourself are watching a leftist news outlet currently, you're not immune from bias. Secondly, Iran and Russia both put money into Biden's campaign so yes, the democrats.

@@matchbox7068 You're free to prove those claims and provide evidence to the DoJ :) Secondly, Russia doesn't have an ally in Democrats, they for sure do in Republicans though.

​@@matchbox7068Got any proof?

​Yes, lots in the indictment Uh-doy-ee​@@bobiswambo

Yea he had no part in that scam, the indictment and the fbi say as much.

@@TheChicken-nt2rsSo you're saying that he was being paid to be a Russian shill, and then just so happened to spew Russian talking points while being anti-Ukraine? Hey I got a bridge to sell you, and it's a great deal.

He needs prison

Putin is supporting kamala what are you on about. If Putin said trump you guys would see it as Putin endorsed trump. If Putin supports trump you have problem with that if Putin support kamala you have problem with that. Putin genuinely support kamala. Guys let's be clear here. Since the existence of usa, Russian citizens have voted in america and because of this Russian have been appointing president of usa since beginning, Russians appoints obama, Russians appointed trump, Russians appointed biden and now Russians are endorsing kamala, so with the Russian guarantee, blessings kamala will be the next president of usa.

The FBI said Tim pool etal were victims. None of the content creators had any dealings with Russians or made content for them, only licenced existing media to Tenet to be aired on their platform. The FBI alleges that Russian agents are the involved - they have done this before and had to retract when the Russians demanded a trial to clear their names - and the FBI had no case to bring - while thing had been for propaganda charging foreign citizens who would never see a court room being that they were outside US jurisdiction. Now the FBI is doing the same song and dance 6-7 yrs later in time for another election. Hopefully they bring receipts this time.

That would require intelligence beyond the reach of conservatives

First, it would require conservatives to ever read any media outside of their echo chamber. Second, it would require conservatives to be able to read.

I would have to look at the contract they signed. It could have been Chinese, it could have been from any of the Gulf states that no longer like us. Its not just Russia that would be interested in doing something like this.

@@worldofdoom995 The indictment specifically names 2 employees of Russia Today whose job it was to create an influence network in the US, we have their text messages, emails and private documents. It’s 100% confirmed they were Russian.

​@MC-yt1uv say the person who only reads and watches videos in their echo chamber. It isn't just conservatives who are on the side of trump but the majority of the western world outside of America.

Nope. I've been saying this for years.

I was waiting for someone to say what I was thinking. They did this in 2016 too.

I'm somewhat pleasantly surprised with how this is progressing, now. Not so much with the ignorance we've had to endure leading up to this, however.

The fact that people didnt know this until know is the crazy part

No but justice must be served

where did you see that ?

600? There are only two, the Russian agents. The rest are "commentator" and "founder" which is a total of 10. Put the cool aid down and back away slowly.

​@@SupaFlyJedihi Boris

The GOP hostile state grift is so deep, even micro influencers baiting that treason dollar.

@SupaFlyJedi Choke on a bottle of vodka, Ivan.

Ah yes an irrelevant podcast with only 16 million total views this will make such a big difference. Whoever in Russia decided that spending millions on that was worth it was mentally challenged.

​@@winterinvictalol, the views on the main channel are irrelevant. The point is that Russia wanted to reward rightwingers for being good little agents of Russian influence.

​@@winterinvicta it worked on a portion of right wingers, along with their trolls/bots

@@DSan-kl2yc “it worked on a section of right wingers” if their already republicans why spend money trying to earn their vote?

By Endorsing Kamala! -Putin

You're absolutely right

i fully agree, likely so fully that you will go "that's not what i meant"

What government benefit are they going to miss while raking on 400k every month?

​@@lordzaboemsocial security, medicare, business loans, participation in any federal healthcare programs, etc. They should lose access to all those things. And yeah, sure, with how much Putin-Puppet money they've been making, it might not hurt them that much, but still, as a matter of principle those things should be withheld from them.

🤣🤣🤣 Me either. I'm clapping my hands in anticipation of nothing happening. They've already shown they're not going to do anything by saying that Tenet was duped. Before you know it we'll all be saluting Putin. I know the two young guys who got locked up this year for espionage are kicking themselves for not applying to Tenet for that Russian money.

Pennies on the dollar and more harmful than anything conventional.

Russia is not fascist, nor has it ever been fascist.

​@@HillbillyDeluxe-2005 Putin's Russia is the quintessential fascist regime. Stalin's Russia was quite fascist as well. Stalin certainly made a lot of effort to pleasure Hitler in every way imaginable, including by invading Poland together and starting WWII.

​@@HillbillyDeluxe-2005 Wikipedia: "Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy" If you don't think Putin is fascist or that Putin's Russia has become or is becoming fascist, I've a lovely bridge to sell you, special low price just for you!

Serious answer - yes he will

There will be no prison time. I thought you knew. Treason is the new patriotism now. Duhhh. 😆 🤣 😂

@@brendathompson2288 they have all the best people, everyone knows it. They all say it, you know what they say? They say if you're not a traitor in this country you're nothing, you're nothing.

That we know of, and this was just 1 thing they did to spread lies and propaganda. Smaller bite sized social media like Twitter and tik tok probably has had a lot more

It's way more

The FBI only watched everything they did for 2 years. I imagine they have much more. Possibly baiting them to lie even more.

You mean the ones that the muller report said nothing about? Because the report found nothing. But keep spreading demonazi propoganda.

@@TheChicken-nt2rsThis man is a Russian poster. Stay mad.

You gotta remember he used to work with Vice news They used to have this kind of crazy money

@@prettyboyjeremy this isnt as crazy as Vice, the russians just dont have the fund the CIA has...

@@prettyboyjeremy his Vice content was so dogshit that they fired him as soon as they discovered how bad it was

Make sense. I used to watch him going from this (so-called) "libertarian" that go on about "individual rights and freedoms", to the same alt-right, culture war obsessed, grafter as Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson, while wearing that "libertarian" mask. I stop watching as soon I realize how much unreasonably angry I became a couple of years ago. I'm all for updating one's own morals and views for new information comes to light. But I can see that this is just him flip-flopping to pick up what facade he has left.

He's a liar and a coward

Yep, as a conservative I don't consider these guys real Republicans or conservatives. A real conservative would put their country first and not take a penny from a brutal regime

​@@UnknownName-fl4xo 100% on point.

​@@UnknownName-fl4xoFair enough. Us lefties and righties do have our major societal and economic disagreements. But neither of us wish to sell our country down the river. These tactics are intended to prevent us from sitting at the table to hammer out our problems.

Tenet Media will face that. These faces can all say "bro, I got paid by Tenet and had no idea, I created and posted all content myself with no input from anyone!" and have some level of plausible deniability - although it's my opinion that anyone peddling info like the accused who named themselves either isn't smart enough to know what they were doing was guided by another nation or they're just smart enough to know and not care so long as they got paid.

@@SansSelf Dude that's literally what happened by all accounts. The indictment doesn't even claim that the commentators had any knowledge that the founders were even being paid by Russians

@@spicyice3754 Of course, that's usually the way people get away with crimes. However, that's not always the case when it comes to foreign influence campaigns. Example: anyone remember when Praz from the Fugees was found guilty of similar charges pressed at Company 1 (Tenet)? He didn't know he was working for the Malaysian gov't but we have a saying about legal defenses like that: "ignorance is no excuse for the law." While I'm not sure the gov't really wants to try a bunch of internet personas, making them have to talk to the feds and likely jump will strengthen the case against Tenet. Those podcasters should all face shunning for being literal tools and not knowing who was pulling the strings (or more likely ignoring what's obvious to the rest of us) but we also know that someone in the conservative media sphere will pick up some of them - so long as they don't ask who's funding them. Edit: Fugees not figures. Also, link to a Reuters article about Praz's case www.reuters.com/legal/fugees-rapper-convicted-us-over-lobbying-campaigns-with-malaysian-financier-2023-04-26/

For several years during WWII various US media personalities, socialites, prominent church leaders and politicians, including a dozen members of congress - one of them a sitting US senator - received financing from Nazi agents, in exchange for using their popularity of the authority of their office to spread pro-Nazi talking points: everything from outright anti-semitism to "America First" style pseudo-pacifism... There was some noise when this was revealed, but most of them denied it and eventually got away with it.

They were given video clips and stories to share though.

i think they did not get paid so it's a ok form them (although tucker did get access in russia so he might be in trouble there)

@@Screact that's what I mean. If they would pay online personalities, why not tv personalities as well?

@@artypyrec4186 tv news personalities (genrely) are not stupid enough to break the law , youtubers are

@@Screact you should look into fox

@@Screact just not dumb enough to get caught. It's not a very difficult law around when you have several different businesses and connections.

So you don't have a problem with Kamala essentially staging a coup, and it being proven american intelligence agencies was forcing social media platforms to spread democratic propaganda? And remove and demote conservative options and post ?

Basically saying, "I am absolutely incurious about people giving me money."

Always. No one is more gullible, easily influenced, and fear-mongered than conservatives. For how much they claim to value freedom, their actions show that they actually like to be told what to think and believe. It's why they never question the things Trump says or does: they like a confident and strong leader telling him what their beliefs should be. Ambiguity is too scary for them, as is the thought of not thinking the same things everyone else does.

Says the people that believed Biden was as fit and health as ever and the best choice up until he was let lose on live TV? Or kamala not taking any outside network interviews and placing here policies the day of the debate over 45 days after announcing it?

Israel isn’t under sanctions.

@@annabenedetti9699 it is a foreign entity funding the people that will eventually run the country though. Also, Israel not being under sanctions is more of a consequence of the same, rather than the other way round. Both are basically partners is a lot of crime. There are others that do similar crimes, like Russia, but they aren't part of this glorified group of thugs.

Yes that’s the difference. “Plain sight” it’s illegal to do it in secret. Also it’s not Israel that does it, it’s different Jewish American pacs.

Agreed and I think you'd be hard pressed to find too many that'd disagree with the idea of getting money out of politics.

@samc9133 sadly, true. But it's kinda absurd when an entirely foreign entity or industry can fund politicians they like and it is not only legal but also not seen as conflict of interest. It's funny that on one hand arguments like Putin wants 1 candidate to win are detrimental to that candidates campaign but the candidates were quarreling over who is a better lapdog for another country, days after 1 of their citizens were targeted by their "most moral" forces. Merely a recent example, it is a problem in general.

The fbi refers to them as victims, cope and seethe

@@TheChicken-nt2rsNo they didn't, nowhere in the documents was the term "victim" used. Stop watching Tim Pool.

@Iban-Underground the DOJ indictment itself debunks your fascist misinformation spreading ass at the very beginning I didn't know tim pool was a part of the DOJ

@@Iban-Underground READ IT I WIN, COPE AND SEETHE.

@Iban-Underground DOJ and FBI > How you feel The indictment says they were victims of deception. The fbi says they are as well It openly says they were tricked into thinking they were getting money from a Belgian investor and the founder knew it was Russian but didn't tell the commentators. Also this investigation according to the fucking indictment states tennet was dealing with Russia even before tim pool or benny johnson joined. Ooph imagine getting dismantled by a federal fucking document. But what can you expect from a Nazbol.

Doubt it

Apparently the 3 RU-vidrs are not facing any charges because the FBI can't prove they knew for a fact their investor was Russia...yet. I mean it's obvious they would know, they weren't given scripts but told what talking points to push, some being anti Ukrainian and others being seen as pro Russian. Time will tell of the FBI can find any concrete to actually press charges or not. The worst they can possibly get if the FBI can't find anything is their channels taken down, Tenet Media was deleted today so that isn't a far off possibility.

Sadly this news will most likely be forgotten within the next couple of weeks and Tenet Media will continue to push out Russian paid propaganda

The fbi got in contact with them, because they were victims. But sure let's be a fascist and advocate for opponents to be jailed for 0 reason.

If the FBI was against this, it would not happen. It's good for bussines lmao

"Does Putin not like me as much? How do I please Daddy Putin?"

sowing

From my understanding, it seems that some may have been duped into doing this. Regardless, this allows us to separate real conservatives from the Russian double agents

​@@UnknownName-fl4xoit still damages their credibility for several reasons: 1. They've outed themselves as people who are willing to sell their political opinions, and thus they cannot be trusted to provide honest opinions on political/social issues. 2. The fact that they didn't question any of this shows that they aren't scrutinizing information as much as someone should be doing if they do political/social commentary. They lack good discernment, which calls their judgment into question. So they are both morally and intellectually bankrupt.

@@badwolf3618 Absolutely without a doubt, but I think it's important that we remember that these sellouts don't collectively speak for ALL conservatives. I bet the government is loving this because now they have something else to stoke political division with, however from the way you speak I can tell you're a man of intelligence and you're too smart to believe that

No thanks

US media stays silent about 100 Million + USD that AIPAC and Israel spent buying out US elections, which is considered election interference, but then US media report about other countries spending considerably less than what Israel does to control US Government.

AIPAC isn’t foreign funded and also it’s not even illegal to be foreign funded. It’s illegal to not register it.
