That Becca Rinkevich's little smile and giggle after her quick and dirty on how she aided in digitally manipulating people's thoughts and actions is quite disturbing
Sorry - off topic question. Matt - you seem to have an uncanny ability to find videos that probably are not easy to find. Question I have is this. Just before the infamous J6 "insurrection" I recall seeing Nancy Pelosi in a rather flustered state being asked about the upcoming electoral college certification and my memory is that she said "I just met with Chuck Schumer and we have a plan". On the day of the "insurrection" I was driving and heard about what was going on in DC. I immediately figured that that was "the plan" they had worked out. I have tried to find that video clip and can't so, the question is, do you have some special way of finding that clip? It would have been a few days before J6 and it was on a major "news" network.
ALARMING -- Open Terror in the US (after Tulsi Gabbard was placed on Terror list)
Today, on August 7, 2024, the FBI conducted a raid on the Delmar, New York, home of Scott Ritter, a former UN weapons inspector and geopolitical analyst known for his criticism of U.S. foreign policy and allegations of corruption in Ukraine. Ritter, who has also been a controversial figure due to past convictions and appearances on Russian state-funded networks, was the subject of a federal investigation, the details of which were not immediately disclosed. The raid has sparked a range of reactions on social media -- but, of course, and like with Tulsi Gabbard outrage, silence in state-controlled media.
In meantime the bipartisan US genocide of Palestinians - continues...
The fascists that run this country will happily pour millions of dollars into the pockets of bootlicking “influencers” and campaign operatives to keep our votes from counting.
They will spend those millions of dollars, then come begging working-class Americans for more, all so their corporate-nationalist masters can keep our tax money flowing to their masters’ war profits and crimes, instead of paying for Universal Healthcare and free public college for us.
This is what Biden voters got for their votes. It’s what Trump, Obama, Bush and Clinton voters got for their votes. It is what Democrats and Republicans both get for their donations and votes.
Obviously it’s not literally “free” - the point is that Americans should be able to get an education without going in debt up to their eyeballs with extortionate interest rates. Being pedantic won’t help us.
The current system also forcefully takes resources and redistributes them to power centers, and regular people are left poor, bankrupt, sick and/or homeless. Or had you not noticed?
I was with you until universal healthcare and free public college. It's a failing of many, but the government doesn't "give" anyone anything for "free", it forcefully takes resources from individuals and redistributes to power centers.
Sometimes the power centers in question have a positive impact on the lives they forcibly take from, but as a rule it's not a robin hood scenario, and in fact many very intelligent analysts point out that all the incentives direct government intervention to maintain and expand the problems they've been tasked with solving.
Foreign policy, education, and economics spring to mind as areas that the interventions are the source and not solution to the problems....
You wonder if they're going to try and pull another stunt like this one, but this time it's to convince the public that Harris/Walz aren't supporters of genocide.
Well, we won’t forget at least. Glad it was reported on at all — could’ve just been one of a million other horror stories that leftists have tried to memory-hole.
Great reporting. And, is it just me, or do these people look the same age as high school hall monitors? What creepy lives they live, devouring others' internet activity to use against them. These types of jobs should not exist and would not exist in a healthy society. Buncha cry baby authoritarians.
Excellent piece of reporting there Matt.
I agree: Fantastic post Matt!
Jesus Christ buddy, talk about the banality of evil. Dahmer would have blended in quite well with these folks.
What I think I love best about these junior demagogues is how the lot of them look like they're one punch away from crying.
Punch? More like one mean tweet.
And they sooo need, and deserve, that punch.

watching these smug twerps is truly cringe. the new Outer Party trying to protect us lowly proles from ourselves. same story, just different attire. 🤮

Orf, OMG !
Thank you.

Not Fascists: Castroists, Guevaristas.

These people need to be flogged and then exiled.
And then flogged again.
Why can’t I search “Becca Rinkevich” and find anything? How is she getting away with this?
Easier to find stuff on Rob Flaherty but most publications haven’t felt the need to write about this apparently.
These people’s faces need to be as well known by Americans as Taylor swift’s.
Well, we won’t forget at least. Glad it was reported on at all — could’ve just been one of a million other horror stories that leftists have tried to memory-hole.

Government officials engaging in censorship need to face personal liability, loss of any government benefits or pensions, and prison.
Thank you! Amazing reporting
Tremendous reporting, Matt. Really well done...for what flarhety would call a dis-info peddler LOL!
Let’s coin a new term to supplement the trite and outdated “Orwellian”: let’s call the new unreality: “Orfaleian”!
