INFLUENCERS: Merrick Garland - Liberal = Good & MAGA = Bad

INFLUENCERS   Merrick Garland is describing the indicted Russian media outlet as an ‘influencer’.    According to the Indictment, these ideologies are considered disinformation as pushed by the Russian Influencers

• putting out information to undermine Ukraine's fight for its own democracy and for its sovereignty:

• blaming Ukraine and the United States for the terrorist attack that happened in Moscow several months ago

• Poland, Ukraine, and Lithuania were “gifts” to those countries from the Russian forces that liberated them from Nazi control during World War II;

• a video claiming that the number of foreign fighters embedded with Ukrainian forces was significantly lower than public estimates;

• a video of President Putin claiming that the war in Ukraine is not a territorial conflict or a matter of geopolitical balance, but rather the “principles on which the New World Order will be based.”

While Garland claims these are directed toward ‘election interference’ he actually has also claimed the DoJ  has no evidence of election interference.  Basically, the entire claim is that Russia used Russian influencers to promote a pro-Russia point of view.   Yet there is no mention of the ‘Influencers’ on social media promoting Kamala while demonizing Trump.   Including via the unregistered foreign agent – AIPAC and its literal thousands of influencers.   Paid BOTS.

Politico:  Priorities USA has online creators pushing pro-Biden messaging — and crashing into the murky online rules around political ads.  LaToi Storr is one such influencer paid for by Priorities USA.  The PAC is spending $1 million for a “creator” program, enlisting Storr and 150 other influencers to post on social media.

Other PACs paying influencers include Next Gen America and American Bridge.  The purpose is to spread false messages, propaganda and disinformation about the other candidate(s).  At this point – all of this is technically legal.   Patrick Kelly, 24, is a content creator who works in government affairs in Washington.  According to his bio, Kelly worked for Cornerstone Government Affairs working ‘with’ the federal government as a paid Influencer.

Per Kelly’s Linkedin account, his work included:  Draft press releases, blog posts, and conduct outreach to reporters and podcasts to support various client priorities.  Develop and distribute weekly immigration policy updates.   

Kelly is one of thousands of ‘Influencers’ whose job is to say whatever is necessary to alter reality.  To promote ideologies that are false.  To push content that is deeply propagandized.  On behalf of the federal government… 

Priorities USA:  founded in 2011 to promote Obama, and later Hillary and Biden.  Michael Bloomberg is a largess Donor.  Other donors include:  Soros, Donald Sussman, Haim Sabin, James Simons, Daniel Abraham, Bill Maher, Paul Begala, Irwin Jacobs, Jeffrey Katzenberg, etc…   A 2024 investigation by Sludge found that the Priorities USA Foundation, which is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charity, has been raising millions of dollars and funneling that money to its affiliated 501(c)(4) political arm, Priorities USA.   This is ILLEGAL.  

The social media platforms used by these Obama/Clinton hellcats include Tik Tok and Telegram.   Coincidentally, the two platforms currently being destroyed by the US Government in their attempt at a hostile takeover.  

During the 2020 campaign, Priorities spent $250 million on Biden and democrats.  They are credited with the slogan, “Build Back Better’.  Their focus is on Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Nevada. 

NextGen America:  Founded by Tom Steyer whose net worth is estimated to be - $2.1 Billion.  Their stated agenda for 2018 was to impeach Trump.   Their focus is exclusively on the youth market regarding:  climate change, racial injustice, saving democracy, and economic inequality.  Share the wealth… Just not Tom Steyers wealth.

American Bridge:   Founded in 2010 by David Brook and Media Matters.  They claim to be spending $140 million demonizing Trump in the 2024 Election cycle.  Their funding comes from:  Soros, Joshua Bekenstein (Bain Capital), Stephen Mandel (net worth $4 billion – funds the Lincoln Project), Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn), George Marcus (Greek American), and Arabella Advisors (a dark money network connected to the Clintons). 

These PACS act as ‘Influencers’.  The same sort of propaganda that Merrick Garland deems as radical when it comes to pro-Russia influence.   And yet again, Garland has gone down a Pandora path wherein he will be obliged to charge every political PAC with circumventing the laws regarding propaganda, money laundering and disinformation – on top of the illegal PAC – AIPAC an unregistered foreign agent.   NOT the brightest bulb in the White House.
