DBP66 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 How Russia Is Using Tucker Carlson as a Propaganda Pawn Patricia McKnight - Yesterday 10:11 PM React|192 © Getty Images Russian state TV, struggling to convince citizens to support the invasion of Ukraine, continues to air clips of Fox News' Tucker Carlson, portraying the television host as having the authority to wield a major influence on America's opinion of the war. Carlson is painted as America's voice of reason to Russian television audiences, siding with Russia and having the authority to wield a major influence on America's opinion of the invasion. RT is a Russian state-controlled international television network that has used Tucker's clips as propaganda to distort or deny Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "Carlson has the most popular cable TV show in the US and his opinions influence how Americans vote," RT wrote in an article. Last month, a monologue of Carlson aired on RT in which he questioned why Americans should dislike Putin. Putin's handlers are hoping Carlson's message sinks in, since Russian support for his war has dropped from a high of 71 percent to about 58 percent, according to state-controlled polls FOM and WCIOM. Half of respondents age 18 to 44 gave a negative assessment of the invasion, according to a poll conducted by Russian Field. Carlson, along with frequent guest retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor, has been featured multiple times on Kremlin TV in an attempt to justify the invasion of Ukraine to viewers who have gradually turned their support away from Russian President Vladimir Putin. "Democrats in Washington have told you you have a patriotic duty to hate Vladimir Putin," Carlson said during the speech. "Anything less than hatred of Putin is treason...hating Putin has become the central purpose of America's foreign policy." RT used Carlson's clip to rationalize that someone who allegedly has so much influence on America must be right in his opinion that President Biden is pushing hate toward Putin. "There are no actual reasons for Americans to hate Putin, even if the left-wing media tells them that," RT said in response to Carlson's statement. MeidasTouch, a political news site self-described as producing "the best pro-democracy political videos and content," interviewed Ukrainian diplomat Olexander Scherba Friday evening, asking his opinion of Carlson being aired on Russian TV. "They've been broadcasting Russian talking points, lies and disinformation," the interviewer said. "What would you say to them and the companies that allow them to broadcast their messages?" "Shame on you," Scherba said. "Shame on you Tucker Carlson. I mean, when you say, 'Why should we support Ukraine and not Russia,' just—what's wrong with your moral compass? What's wrong with your soul?" "There is something seriously wrong with this guy," Scherba continued. "There is something seriously wrong with Fox News if they give him the air [time]." RT backed its claim of Carlson's authority, citing MSNBC: "Earlier this week, pro-Democratic Party channel MSNBC ran a segment that lamented Carlson's impact on US foreign policy through his ability to whip up isolationist sentiments in the voter base – 'the way he can change the tide for otherwise-fascistic leaders,' as host Alex Wagner put it, referring to Putin and to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban." Russian TV is now allegedly playing clips of Carlson "to lighten the mood in the studio, [one] host resorted to one of the favorite pastimes of many Kremlin propagandists: playing yet another Fox News clip of Tucker Carlson," The Daily Beast reports. In a translated video RT aired on Wednesday, Carlson's guest Macgregor predicted Russia's victory over Ukraine. The host, Vladimir Soloviev, responded to the clip saying, "He's a lot more optimistic than my previous experts in the studio." Russian TV continues to air Fox News segments to combat anti-Russian comments previously said on the show, using clips from the U.S. network to push pro-Russian propaganda among Moscow viewers in an attempt to display Americans as approving of Putin's aggression toward Ukraine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBP66 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Russia's bioweapon conspiracy theory finds support in US 1 / 3 United Nations Russia Ukraine Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya speaks during a Security Council meeting, Friday, March 11, 2022, at UN headquarters. The Russian request for the Security Council meeting followed a U.S. rejection of Russian accusations that Ukraine is operating chemical and biological labs with U.S. support. (UNTV via AP) ASSOCIATED PRESS DAVID KLEPPER and ANGELO FICHERA Sat, March 12, 2022, 12:05 AM Russia's baseless claims about secret American biological warfare labs in Ukraine are taking root in the U.S. too, uniting COVID-19 conspiracy theorists, QAnon adherents and some supporters of ex-President Donald Trump. Despite rebuttals from independent scientists, Ukrainian leaders and officials at the White House and Pentagon, the online popularity of the claims suggests some Americans are willing to trust Kremlin propaganda over the U.S. media and government. Like any effective conspiracy theory, the Russian claim relies on some truths: Ukraine does maintain a network of biological labs dedicated to research into pathogens, and those labs have received funding and research support from the U.S. But the labs are owned and operated by Ukraine, and the work is not secret. It's part of an initiative called the Biological Threat Reduction Program that aims to reduce the likelihood of deadly outbreaks, whether natural or manmade. The U.S. efforts date back to work in the 1990s to dismantle the former Soviet Union’s program for weapons of mass destruction. “The labs are not secret,” said Filippa Lentzos, a senior lecturer in science and international security at King’s College London, in an email to the Associated Press. “They are not being used in relation to bioweapons. This is all disinformation.” That hasn't stopped the claim from being embraced by some on the far-right, by Fox News hosts, and by groups that push debunked claims that COVID-19 is a bioweapon created by the U.S. The day of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, an early version appeared on Twitter -- in a thread espousing the idea that Russia's offensive was targeting “US biolabs in Ukraine” -- and was soon amplified by the conspiracy theory website Infowars. It has spread across mainstream and lower-profile social platforms, including Telegram and Gab, that are popular with far-right Americans, COVID-19 conspiracy theorists and adherents of QAnon, the baseless hoax that Satan-worshipping pedophiles secretly shape world events. Many of the accounts posting the claim are citing Russian propaganda outlets as sources. When Kremlin officials repeated the conspiracy theory on Thursday, saying the U.S. was developing bioweapons that target specific ethnicities, it took a few minutes for their quotes to show up on American social media. Several Telegram users who cited the comments said they trusted Russian propaganda over independent American journalists, or their own democratically elected officials. “Can’t believe anything our government says!” one poster wrote. Others cited the claim while parroting Russia's talking points about the invasion. “It’s not a “war,” it’s a much needed cleansing,” wrote a member of a Telegram group called “Patriot Voices” that is popular with supporters of Trump. “Ukraine has a ton of US govt funded BioWeapons Labs that created deathly pathogens and viruses.” Television pundits and high-profile political figures have helped spread the claim even further. Fox News host Tucker Carlson devoted segments on his shows on Wednesday and Thursday to promoting the conspiracy theory. On Wednesday, Donald Trump Jr. said conspiracy theories around the labs were proven to be a “fact” in a tweet to his 7.3 million followers. Both Carlson and Trump misrepresented congressional testimony from a State Department official saying the U.S. was working with Ukraine to secure material in the biological labs, suggesting that indicated the labs were being used for illegitimate purposes. It’s not surprising that a biological research center would contain potentially hazardous material, however. The World Health Organization said Thursday that it has asked Ukraine to destroy any samples that could pose a threat if released, either intentionally or accidentally. While the disinformation poses a threat on its own, the White House warned this week that the Kremlin's latest conspiracy theory could be a prelude to a chemical or biological attack that Russia would blame on the U.S. or Ukraine. “Frankly, this influence campaign is completely consistent with longstanding Russian efforts to accuse the United States of sponsoring bioweapons work in the former Soviet Union,” U.S. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said Thursday during testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee. “So this is a classic move by the Russians.” The conspiracy theory has also been picked up by Chinese state media, and was further amplified this week by China's Foreign Ministry, which repeated Russia's claim and called for an investigation. Milton Leitenberg, an arms control expert and senior research associate at the Center for International & Security Studies at the University of Maryland, noted that Russia has a long history of such disinformation. In the 1980s, Russian intelligence spread the conspiracy theory that the U.S. created HIV in a lab. Leitenberg said numerous Russian scientists had visited a similar public health lab in the republic of Georgia, but that Russia continued to spread false claims about that facility. “There’s nothing they don’t know about what’s taking place there, and they know that nothing of what they claim is true,” Leitenberg said. “The important thing is that they know that, unquestionably.” While gaining traction in the U.S., the claims about bioweapons are likely intended for a domestic Russian audience, as a way to increase support for the invasion, according to Andy Carvin, senior fellow and managing editor at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, which is tracking Russian disinformation. Carvin noted the Kremlin has also spread hoaxes about Ukrainian efforts to obtain nuclear weaponry. “It’s a rinse-and-repeat cycle to hammer home these narratives, particularly to domestic audiences,” Carvin said. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While doing the same thing... The party of Lincoln is dead... Nice hot take, I’ll go by the actions of one party for let’s say the past 200 years vs the other. One does all the talking but their policies are only to entrap, while the other actually puts policies in place to benefit and provide opportunities. But believe what you will. See LBJ "War on Poverty" programs of 1964 and his Great Society speech and the impact this has had on minorities for the past 60 years.

I AM IRONMAN Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 In such a long and demanding 14 minutes sleepy Joe made so many mistakes. He said he has covid... doesn't he referred to Kamala Harris as the first lady...she isn't...his wife is! I think he actually said something about Harris' husband as the first man. Biden is a total train wreck our enemies laugh at him and our Allies don't trust or respect him. Now he wants to pay Iran for their oil instead of opening up oir pipeline? Yeah there's no back pay or someone getting grease behind the scenes on that one. Hey America you "voted"for him I hope you're happy. Looking forward to the Biden defense team's replies on here 😂😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBP66 Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 What a bunch of clowns the Republican party has turned into....f*in SAD! Here are the 8 House Republicans who voted against suspending normal trade relations with Russia and Belarus Bryan Metzger Thu, March 17, 2022, 4:53 PM From left: Republican Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Matt Gaetz of Florida, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Thomas Massie of Kentucky. All voted against the Russia trade bill.Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images The House of Representatives passed a bill to suspend normal trade relations with Russia and Belarus. Eight House Republicans voted against the bill on Thursday. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and Thomas Massie were among them. The House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday to suspend normal trade relations with both Russia and Belarus amid the war in Ukraine. The Suspending Normal Trade Relations with Russia and Belarus Act, which passed by a 424-8 margin, allows President Joe Biden to increase tariffs on products coming from the two countries and requires the US Trade Representative to seek suspension of Russia's participation in the World Trade Organization. The legislation must now pass the Senate and be signed by Biden to be enacted into law. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
