@ArpComics In the same way that “freedom” = “banning public presentation of certain colors”
Biggest Doublespeak shit I’ve seen yet, and of course, it’s always the right-wing fascists claiming that a world where everyone is accepted and cared for would be 1984
Active measures is a term used to describe political #warfare conducted by the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. The term, which dates back to the 1920s, includes operations such as espionage, propaganda, sabotage and assassination, based on foreign policy objectives of the Soviet and Russian governments against the United States and democratic western countries. Active measures have continued to be used by Vladimir Putin to control US politics through disinformation that enable controlling the Republican party.
Republican and russian disinformation warfare or active measures.
Disinformation, psychological warfare "PsyOp" will continue to increase for the next six months to influence the #2024election.
It's literally impossible to contend with all the stupid. These propagandists won't stop. It's about volume. Every second of every day it will be some new conspiracy theory.. Their goal is to shred the judiciary and elevate the unitary executive. They're fascists. Vote for democrats.
“Putting up trade barriers with your neighbours can make you richer, said the Brexiters. You can simultaneously cut taxes and increase spending, and pay no price, said Truss. Rwanda is a safe country, said Rishi Sunak.”
“The 4th of July is a day of reckoning for the chaos and calamity the Conservatives have brought and for the harm they have done. On election day, the Tories don’t deserve merely to lose. They deserve to be punished.”
And Labour deserves to be punished for being Tories By Another Name. At least in Scotland, we have an alternative to vote for… if some people wouldn’t be so bloody feart.
If, like roughly a hundred million Americans, you regularly consume fascist propaganda in the guise of cable “news” (fox, newsmax, & other propaganda outlets) online disinformation publications, and the platform formerly known as Twitter, it’s likely that at least some of that fascist propaganda is originating in Moscow.
Kremlin documents reveal Russian trolls are targeting U.S. support for Ukraine and engaging in a significant campaign to undermine U.S. elections and discourage voting.
Wanted war criminal Putin- is trying to exploit America’s divisions over the war in Gaza
The effort includes artificial intelligence, fake social media accounts and a spike in state-sponsored Russian propaganda.
In its ongoing information war against the United States, Putin-KGB-FSV-
aka: Cheka, GPU, OGPU, NKGB, NKVD and MGB --
has shifted its focus in recent months to the Israel-Hamas conflict, seeking to inflame existing divisions in the West and to portray Washington as fueling the violence, the sources said.
Kremlin's propaganda war includes artificial intelligence, fake social media accounts, Russian-generated bots on social media - longstanding tactics used by Moscow, as well as a spike in #propaganda from Russian state media.
This is why anyone who used the "genocide joe" a couple months back tag got a block/unfollow. I know an easily-manipulated bleating sheep when I see one.

Trump claims he “never touched” Social Security and Medicare as president
FACT CHECK: Trump proposed a budget to cut Social Security and Medicare every single year he was in office. The reason it didn’t happen was because Democrats stopped him
"Trump’s appearance in Georgia … reflected a man not rooted in any kind of reality, one who struggled to remember his words and who was, by any definition, incoherent, disconnected, and frequently malicious. …
Watch his speeches. Share them widely. Don’t look away."
Peter Navarro is due to report to a federal prison on Tuesday after an appeals court ruled that his appeal wasn’t likely to overturn his conviction for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the #January6 attack that Trump supporters aimed at the US Capitol in 2021. #Navarro has maintained that he couldn’t cooperate with the committee because Trump had invoked executive #privilege. Federal judge Amit Mehta, who was appointed during Barack Obama’s presidency, barred Navarro from making that argument at trial, finding that he didn’t show Trump had actually invoked it.
His emergency application to the Supreme Court comes as the court separately prepares to hear arguments on whether Trump himself has presidential #immunity from charges alleging he interfered in the 2020 election that he lost to Joe Biden
Navarro was the second Trump aide convicted of misdemeanor congressional contempt charges. Former Trump White House chief strategist #Steve#Bannon previously received a four-month sentence but was allowed to stay free pending appeal by federal judge Carl Nichols, who was appointed by Trump.
Navarro – an economist and Trump’s trade adviser – was found guilty of #defying a #subpoena for documents and a deposition from the House committee that was investigating the January 6 attack. He also #promoted Trump’s #lies about how electoral fraudsters denied him victory against Biden and was given a four-month #prison sentence.

@nicholas_saunders@skypunch Looks like I am not the only one, it happened to @rebeccawatson as well, and that was mstdn.social too - Is something going on with weird right-wing flagging, @stux ?
