Rick Wilson: MAGA is a foreign influence operation. Not "incidental to MAGA," not touching it," not "nudging it," not "occasionally exploiting it." MAGA is a foreign influence operation, root and branch.

MAGA is a foreign influence operation. Not "incidental to MAGA," not touching it," not "nudging it," not "occasionally exploiting it." MAGA is a foreign influence operation, root and branch. While pundits spent more time this weekend than anyone should on RFK Jr's uh erotic poetry to Olivia Nuzzi (and by that, I mean SWEET JESUS BLEACH IT FROM MY BRAIN), we learned foreign influence operations are at the tweeting, bleating heart of the MAGA moment. MAGA is not just a political movement of goateed, 50-ish white dudes who all rock that same avatar of them copping what they imagine is an expression of manly vigor in the front seat of their behind-on-the-payments Ford F-350. It's a delivery system.

A supply chain for chaos that starts in Moscow and Tehran and Beijing, runs through bot farms in industrial parks outside St. Petersburg or the Pardis Technology Park north of Tehran, or some Nigerian click farm, or a Chinese-criminal-owned social media and tech scam prison in the wilds of Burma, bounces off a rage-merchant influencer "from Ohio" who has never set foot in America, and ends up in your pissed off MAGA uncle's Facebook feed as a "patriotic truth." It's tempting to call MAGA the most gullible cohort of political suckers, mooks, rubes, and slowcoaches ever to blight this nation. I want to tell you I'm going to resist that temptation, but that would be as big a lie as the thousands of MAGA accounts with AI avatars who look and sound like American patriots, flooding social media platforms from their lairs abroad.

America is for sale to the highest covert, or not so covert, bidder.
Through MAGA, the Kremlin has its paws all over the Repugnant Party as the article shows.
AIPAC has both US parties pretty much covered [from US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to Randy "the Hebrew Ham Sandwich" Fine (R-FL)] except for "the Squad," Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA), US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) who caucuses with Democrats, and local leaders like NYC-Mayor elect Zohran Mamdani.
This year NYS Democrats uncovered Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ------, one worked for disgraced Andrew Cuomo, the other for Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY).
With their influence operations on social media and the TV networks, the mega-oligarchs seem to be helping Russia (Felon Musk inciting race riots in the UK) and Israel (like CBS through Larry and David Ellison), more than they are assisting China for now.
"Spaseeba Moscow, todah rabah Israel, and xie xie Beijing!"

Funny how this is common knowledge for us liberals and Democrats, but Republicans still deny it.

Hi Snoofy:
How are you? I have a question for you (or any Fellow Traveler on drudge.com who might be able to answer my query for that matter).
I noticed that whenever 'Cutiepie' (Seniority: 178) occasionally enters a thread, soon afterwards the site administrator closes the discussion: "Comments are closed for this entry."
This has happened several times. In counterintelligence investigations (CII), this phenomena falls under 'pattern analysis.'
Some of my "dud" threads receive this opprobrious demise (particularly about AIPAC influence operations in the US or Israel's vicious ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Gaza and the West Bank), which is why I post on several platforms including my own, so I am neither offended nor surprised. In terms of revenue for drudge.com via advertisements and readership, this makes sense.
However, I cannot fathom why 'Cutiepie' seems to be a 'thread-killer' on drudge.com.
When dealing with your comments, 'Cutiepie' has used the pejorative "Snoofyism" if I recall correctly, so I thought you might have some insight on the matter.
That's all.
Nothing more, nothing less.

""Comments are closed for this entry.""
Threads automatically close after they time out, usually 3 days after originally posted or 3 days after they're promoted to the front page, sometimes sooner if the thread is inactive.
"I post on several platforms including my own"
Based on your posting style, I suspect I might be familiar with one of those political platforms, which has a lot of pro-Russia posters on it.
