…And nothing will be done?
He will be prosecuted. The agent that is.
If there ever was anything to be done, it wouldn’t be on the internet. This is irrelevant and meant to give feelings of despair and hopelessness. Faith without works is dead.
Join the kitten revolution. The more we flood the internet with cats the less misinformation can seep into the minds of children. We need an impenetrable cat wall. Build it strong build it high.
My kid wants a cat hella bad now because of the memes, and I’m super allergic to them. Plus we just got a puppy and he needs tons of training before we add another animal to the mix.
Also the puppy is cute as fuck.

America is not a democracy. It never was a democracy. Even CIA agent analysts are referring to the United States as an autocracy. I believe that… It is a bourgeois liberal democracy, which is not a democracy in my opinion. People who climb up in the hierarchy all do bad things things that we would be disgusted by both parties are equally corrupt. Capitalism is destroying the planet. And I’m really tired of the back and forth. We have no control. It’s either Coke or Pepsi. The beatings will continue until the morale improves. I do enjoy when the rich tattle tale on each other, but I am disgusted by how the people digest the information.
Just be aware that @BrainInABox@lemmy.ml is a troll. They seem to have the goal of derailing any conversation that would lead to progress. If asked what they mean or what their ideas on on a topic they will never answer.

French style revolution is the only solution
Not without French Revolution numbers. They had an estimated 8% of their population in the resistance. In our nation of 340M, that would be ~27M people. We can barely break 5M nationally in protests.
If we tried something that stupid now, we’d be inviting the same fate as the German resistance against the Nazis. Engaging more of the ~270M people who aren’t protesting, but do not support Trump, is the focus. Throwing bricks and losing good people to imprisonment only fortifies fascism and weakens our resistance.
The tipping point for seeming many of the populous movements across history is that about 12%ish is the critical mass for the issue to become mainstream. Conservatives seem to know this as they have their MAGA minority and limit access to voting so the small percentage becomes blown out of proportion and takes over.
A smaller scale example are the “Liberty” parents who are banning books and hating on a school curriculum that they have never experienced. They don’t have the national grip that they do on their smaller scale community so book bans seem to be less reported and small attractions than neo-nazi pride marches, which garnered more support across the country during elections.
A left wing example is the ACA vs Single-Payer/universal healthcare. Many voices got Medicare passed but not as many voices were present to champion a better solution. There are simply more people who understand Medicare than Universal coverage, and that confusion isn’t about the benefits. The limited folks who can voice their opinions are the ones who follow the economics of it while the simpler folks just want to get on with their day and don’t have the bandwidth to soak up economic theory while they investigate healthcare too.
The key is to build a small but loud clique in many areas that can amplify the minority message. It’s the same reason there are neo-nazi marches. Gotta get that awareness up. Being present is enough to make people ask White Replacement Theory questions so why not be present and question oligarchy and foreign money influence.l?
I could not agree more. As well as protesting, we need to abolish the social mores against discussing politics in polite company. Talk to people in person. Get them to question what’s happening. In the age of social media silos, people who were previously politically disengaged will not suddenly start seeing messages about our crumbling democracy. It is up to us to engage them.
Just remember the right wing hogs and the left wing hogs at the top are one in the same. Neoliberalism is a right-wing ideology and outsiders who live in like Europe see the United States as a right-wing country. Right-wingers are the useful idiots of empire. Or should I say fascist are the useful idiots of Empire. It is simply just divide and rule.
So sad that this guy will throw himself out of a window in a couple of weeks’ time.

This person has not read the Mueller report, which basically says “If we had the power to charge the president with a crime, we would, but we don’t, so we’re referring this to the attorney general since that is his job”
And then Bill Barr farted on it and trump bragged about being exonerated.

Joe Biden and his crackhead son did deals with Ukrainian companies. There was a conflict of interest, like with all these fucking pieces of shit. Now the cheeseburger kings the president and he’s doing all types of crazy shit and the lib turds are all on it like flies on shit. You guys haven’t figured it out yet. The rich eat at the same table, and sometimes they have food fights, but you’re crawling around on the floor. Eating the crumbs.
Always the same dumb shit from the same dumb people.
Back door deals are always gonna happen and Biden getting his son a deal with Ukraine is nothing, Biden didn’t even talk to them about it the only boost he got was in last name only and the dude didn’t sign up to be Biden. Yeah looks scummy on paper, fuckin CUTE in comparison to Bush nepotism and Trump nepotism yeah piss off about it. That’s such a nonstory. Oh no rich people get rich wow!
No. Trump is a literal human trafficker with decades of recorded behavior and numerous sources and trails of information that paint a very clear picture
If him being Roy Cohn’s pet means nothing to you, you already know nothing.

Musk and Thiel were already assholes. Someone just helped them amplify their worse qualities.
I don’t see China trying to cultivate their stupidness
China does it for the entire country via TikTok.
Kyiv Insider is a very questionable source.
NotNote that they don’t even name the FBI agent, when his name would be a matter of public record if he was arrested and bonded out.This could be a soft release before the actual release of this information.
Then the GOP can always say, “Oh, that crazy Kiev article?”
It’s probably true and this is how they slide shit past.
Could be. But it’s not something I would put money on.
This is one of those things that angry people on the left want to be true, just like angry people on the right want all of the Q-anon trash to be true. This is one of those things that feeds directly into conspiratorial thinking. Anything that sounds too good to be true, isn’t sourced, and isn’t published in a reputable source should immediately make you suspicious. No one is immune to propaganda.
Also: which outlet was it that was publishing all of the claims that Putin had some kind of highly-aggressive, fatal cancer, that he was dying, that he was trying to complete the defeat of Ukraine prior to dying? That was, like, two years ago? That didn’t pan out at all, and it was the same thing; none of the reputable news sources were picking that one up.
If the information can be confirmed can we just go hard on this no matter the optics? Sure, it will be an uphill battle but all the stuff we never litigated because of the bill barr letter is sitting in plain sight.
The main secret is that Russia doesn’t have that many really “secret agents”.
They have “ambassador agents” being ignorant of whose identity is better for you, but that identity is not secret in any way.
Just if you are a plebe taking interest, they might simply kill you and the police won’t do anything. Or invent something better, gaslighting Stasi-style, if killing is too boring for them.
Musk and Thiel are not the type.
I don’t believe it. Not these guys are good or whatever, but being Russian agents is a stretch. There may be common interest without being an agent of the evil Russian regime. Musk and Thiel are playing for themselves, not for the Russians and if they need to side with them to reach their goal, they will. To some extent, how can we be sure trying to paint them as Moscow’s agents isn’t the game Putin is playing to destabilize the USA?
Never said anything about them being Russian spies, just that they are being influenced and there is evidence to prove it.
Oh yes. This is all part of Russia masterful campaign to get us to distrust Thiel and Musk. See how dumb that sounds.
I didn’t say it is part of a Russian master plan, but in this area, lies are masters. So, it’s hard to take anything for granted because that guy said so or this other said otherwise.
This guy is giving up his career over this, so that gives some credence for me at least. I do agree that it is hard to tell what is real with all the disinformation going around.
Ever seen Borat Subsequent Moviefilm? I believe that accidentally showed a window into what was going on in the scene with Giovanni. Remember the one where he clearly thought the young woman who was there to interview him on camera was actually there to have sex with him (still on camera)?

This 2023 article claims Thiel was an informant / source for Buma
Well then that just makes it curious that the linked article cited absolutely no sources when there is evidence available. Even if this story is apparently true I would trust absolutely nothing from that site.
Lmfao no sources? I just linked you a variety of articles from various sources outlining a very clear timeline of events. The source is the literal guy investigating the situation, what do you mean no sources? He’s claiming the department he works in isn’t doing their job and he’s claiming someone is a Russian plant. Let’s step back and consider the following;
-
Everything Trump does parrots Russian sentiment from pressure on Ukraine to harassing our allies about tariffs.
-
Trump’s history with the Russian Mafia and Giuliani. Probably don’t know this but Giuliani had a lot of praise for how he handled the Italian Mafia in New York, he swapped them for the Russian mob. You literally see this happen in media too, the Italian Mafia fades away as the bad guy and is replaced by the Russians: see Kickass, John Wick, etc. Reflects the cultural change.
-
Trump’s history as Roy Cohn’s second, alongside Roger Stone who oddly got Bush elected in 2000 with help from the Proto-Proud Boys. Roy Cohn is a character that outlines everything the Republican party embraces today.
-
His consistent relationship with known pedophiles and human trafficking from his weird pageants to his relationship with Epstein and the numerous claims of abuse from many many sources.
-
The Mueller report outlines his entire relationship with Russians with support from the Steele Dossier.
-
This agent himself has clearly been trying to get a message across, he hasn’t been allowed to present his case and has clearly been harassed by the administration.
Nepotism, cronyism, relationship with folk like Paul Manafort, Maria Butina and Michael Cohen who is Trump’s longtime lawyer and has in court spoken of most of this.
The fuck more evidence you want? Trump’s nuts in your mouth after he raped a child? A video of him and Putin admitting to everything? Like you people are complete baboons and nobody is buying your shit lmfao c’mon man
First of all, I’m not reading all that. Second, I was talking about the article linked by op. That article had no sources. (I’m now explaining this for the second time) If there are plenty of sources, as in the ones YOU linked, I’m questioning why the article that is the subject of this post was written citing absolutely nothing. It was a shitty article devoid of anything resembling journalism.
