This latest investigation from @OCCRP is a doozy. Strap in for a long thread on Russian influence operations. 1/ occrp.org/en/investigati…
A Kremlin-linked lobbying group paid EU politicians and journalists thousands of euros to promote pro-Russia legislation in local and EU legislatures. 2/
It also paid for these politicians to be flown on expensive junkets to pro-Russia events (in this case in Crimea, in an effort to get them to push for recognizing Crimea as Russia). 3/

@gittletron @AmbienStupor If I could get these following terms discussed around most kitchen tables across the country of every liberal democracy, it will make huge strides in defending against Putin‘s hybridized warfare /psyop tactics.

Putin said it was “madness” to allow countries like Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia to leave USSR.

Trump also opposed breakup, accusing Gorbachev of weakness & praising Communist China for showing strength in massacring students.

Coincidence?

#TrumPutin
2) In 1987 Soviet diplomats & KGB arranged a Moscow visit. On his return, Trump spent $100,000 on full-page ads criticizing US foreign policy on “why America should stop paying to defend countries that can afford to defend themselves."

3) Trump’s love affair with authoritarianism & dictators is nothing new. Trump saw breakup of Soviet Union as weakness, praised communist China for massacre at Tiananmen, & praised China’s Xi for becoming “President for life.”

@BillClinton setting priorities from BBB would have been better. Work requirements make sense. But there are also #PelosiPoisonPills the $275 Billion SALT tax cut for the rich and disturbing trend in many areas by this administration, surveillance of individuals bank accounts.
Surveillance of #Parents after calling #Moms #DomesticTerrorists calling for @TheJusticeDept to invoking #PatriotAct to have @FBI surveil, investigate #Parents is Orwellian. #MerrickGarland is harassing, intimidating ordinary people legitimately concerned about their children.
I know some of these folks in NoVa concerned about their children. They are NOT the #Jan6thInsurrection crowd @BillClinton No one is herding the cats.
Cabinet secretaries are acting, making very bad decisions - @SecMayorkas at the border,@SecCardona in Ed. #MerrickGarland - COI

If you're always told the country you live in is a democracy when it isn't, chances are you won't put in the effort to make it so.

Why try to achieve a goal you've already reached?

That's how American Exceptionalism #PsyOps work.

From Russia With Hate.
This doesn't mean the US can't get there.

It means that the only way it will is to recognize just how much it's fallen short and put forth the effort to reach true equality.

Given everything that’s been happening in the world, I think it’s time to revisit the subject of #ActiveMeasures.

Not just for Soviets anymore.

A 🧵.

#USpoli #cdnpoli #UKPolitics #EUpolitics #nzpol #auspoI #Brexit
When the Kremlin launched its weaponization of social media prior to 🇺🇸 2016 election, there was great concern that other malignant actors would quickly adopt these techniques.

They did.
Now, not only state-actor operations, but for-hire malign influence operations are reaching epidemic proportions as well, in countries around the world. (nytimes.com/2021/07/25/wor…) #disinformation #propaganda #ActiveMeasures

@SpeakerPelosi the film of the Oakland attacks were NOT white supremacists. They’re crimes by black criminals attacking AsianAm store owners. ProudBoys leader isHispanic. Neo-nazi broadcasting fr Russia name Nazzaro - #ActiveMeasures Stop paintings every action as hate @MSNBC
You must name a demon to cast it out (Biblical) In science, you must precisely identify problem to solve it. @TheDemocrats refusal to enforce the law in 2020 riots is a big factor that inflamed people, who then listened to Trump lies. If Dems take over, it will happen everywhere.
That’s what most Trump supporters (not those attacking Capitol) but ordinary well groomed middle aged women fear, with cause.Also most rally goers were not white supremacists, or PB.They’re CEOs, business owners, people concerned about crime, lawlessness, safe neighborhoods. #RVA

@RTDNEWS Stoney's record #RVA
1.Stoney’s first major action after becoming mayor was to fire the City Auditor who told him that RPS & City accounts needed a forensic audit. Response: Stoney fired him. Very Trumpian.Very telling about his business dealings. @FreePressRVA @CBS6
2. Stoney violated procurement procedures to build new schools, awarded the bids to crony-donors, a pattern. Discovered by Virginia Association of Contractors filing a FOIA to get documents contract bids. Costs to build them were 30-50% higher than they should be. #RVA @RTDNEWS
3.Stoney's anti-business administration drove hundreds of large businesses & laboratories out of RVA around the BioTech Park, MCV and Jackson Ward - all in a HUBZONE we had endeavored to get to regenerate Jackson Ward. These were middle class jobs. #RVA @RTDNEWS @CBS6

99f As many of faith were suckers for the cruel destructive Political Warfare campaigns of 'anti-religious' communism, 'used to exploit divisions' some took a stand against #NationalistSocialist Terrorism.
99f This piece of journalism by @RuthDE deserves an international award.
It outlines counterproductive feeding of a terrorist organisation running political warfare charging tensions
It seems some are oblivious to the wider historical tactics, aims & costs

I wonder if many are up to speed on sections of the IRA condoning violence for a communist/socialist Ireland.
Or which dictators #NationalistSocialists might side with if they managed to wipe N.Ireland off the Map tomorrow?

I started heading down the road of investigating this group ("Youth Against Sexual Violence") which was seemingly created to support Tara Reade.

I ran out of time to keep digging right now, but they seem to be entirely fictitious. Feel free to take this stuff and run with it! ImageImage
Here is the breakdown of the Youth Against Sexual Violence group:

It's run by several supposed teens (Sophia, Anna/Anya/Jocelyn/Brian) They all have brand new accounts that are obsessed with Tara. And Tara even follows one of these kids.

yasvorg.wordpress.com/meet-our-team/
This ⬇️ is the founder, Sophia Arnold, a sophomore in high school. Her Twitter account was created this month and she has 8 followers. They include the other members of the group and pro-Bernie account I had already blocked. She claims to love banana bread. ImageImage

@PostOpinions Power Rankings- seem packed w Bernie Backers & ignores FACTS: Bernie is NOT a Democrat. He's a SOCIALIST who was, still is 1 of Russia's #activemeasures Ties to Kilimnik mentioned in Mueller report & 2 Mueller indictments, WHY ZERO mention of that? Shame on YOU. 1/
@PostOpinions 2/ Bernie voted FOR giving GUN MANUFACTURERS immunity from product liability law suits, AFTER Sandyhook. Supreme Court overturned that last fall, giving win to Sandyhook families. YOU DIDNT KNOW THAT? He votes against Russian sanctions, is an RT regular -except in this campaign.
@PostOpinions 3. You're too intellectually lazy to do research & only read, report what 's in your Beltway Bubble echo chamber, reducing you all to the laziest of that group whom you quoted in the article. @CillizzaCNN just parrots other talking heads & the echo chamber. Press did same in 2016

@SusanPage @costareports @michaelcrowley Feb. 16 indictment said, “engaged in operations primarily intended to communicate derogatory information about Hillary Clinton, to denigrate other candidates such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and to support Bernie Sanders and then-candidate Donald Trump.”

The #MuellerReport reveals #Russia's sweeping subversion of US politics. It's only a piece of Putin's larger war. Here's a new guide to Russian #ActiveMeasures in #Ukraine—testing ground for Kremlin #disinformation warfare in US & Europe. #SurkovLeaks rusi.org/sites/default/…
"Russia’s activity in Ukraine is a reinvention of 'active measures,' a form of political warfare pioneered by the SovietUnion. The strategy [uses] ‘reflexive control’, a…Soviet technique to manipulate an opponent into making decisions leading to their own defeat"
=US UNDER TRUMP
Remember how ppl wondered how Russians knew about swing states?
"the Kremlin conducted painstaking research into the intricacies of Ukrainian daily life to understand the Ukrainian world view and identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited. Then, using media, front groups…

@AC360 Yes! Thank you Anderson. Charlottesville was NOT a protest about Civil War statues. It was the Unite the Right rally, organized by two @UVA grads, Jason Kessler and Richard Spencer, which brought neoNazis, Nazis, KKK, white supremacists, to the march. 1)
2) One thing that should be noted is that Charlottesville and the entire issue of Confederate statues are among 2016 and current Russian #ActiveMeasures @AC360 @AliVelshi When a second rally was attempted by Spencer in DC in 2018, without the extra “help” from the FSB, it flopped
3) But thank you for pointing out that the Unite the Right event in Charlottesville was about much more than the statue of Robert E. Lee. There was something malevolent in that gathering, genuine menace, pure unadulterated HATE, and evil. Thank you Anderson. @AC360

@ValentinoMuseum are you aware of Russian #ActiveMeasures ? Anything to incite divisions in our country. Stoking racial strife over Confederacy monuments is one of them. Charlottesville was a Russian AM. @RTDNEWS Who are we helping here? @VCUarts @VCU Think about it.
Russian #activemeasures helped Trump defeat @HillaryClinton in 2016. There’s a documentary on @ActMeasuresDoc on @iTunes Suggest everyone watch it.

@TrickFreee @tribelaw @BartSlawson @WillBenton1 @BillTilley bit.ly/2StIE1X
2) Attackers used stolen user credentials "possibly gained via a third-party supply chain compromise" to gain access to the firm's network in late 2017, before installing malware that allowed them to obtain user passwords.

3) The unidentified law firm represented clients in the pharmaceutical, technology, electronics, biomedical & automotive sectors. The sensitive information law firms hold has made them prime targets for hackers in recent years. #Cyberlaw #hackers #CyberAttacks #ActiveMeasures

The ONLY reason @tedcruz and @GOPLeader are calling out Steve King, is because 2020. His visits with racist nationalists from Europe (Marine LePen, in side Trump Tower), never bothered them. His bringing racists to CA (Geert Wilders), never bothered them. @GOP is racist. Own it.
Steve King is trying to bring criminal racist Tommy Robinson from the British nationalist party, here. Why? He has drug convictions, starts riots, assaulted a police officer, and attempted to enter theUS on a fake passport. Why do we need this criminal here? Will @GOP stop this?
Perhaps @GOP should watch #ActiveMeasures documentary, to learn how Putin funds and supports “populist” movements - that Steve King and Dana Rohrabacher conspire with - to undermine law enforcement and governments in European countries. #YellowVests

They told us @HillaryClinton was just as bad as @realDonaldTrump.

Hell, @SusanSarandon said she was worse.

She should really never open her mouth about politics again, ever.

That anyone ever fell for that ridiculous lie is beyond disgraceful.

Even if Clinton were guilty of the types of corruption they claimed she was she would still not be comparable in this way to Donald Trump.

Not even close.

But she's clearly not.

As the nation braces itself for the @GOP's latest betrayal in the runup to the #BrettKavanaugh confirmation vote, it is becoming clearer that even those we once believed retained some recognizably moral standards, simply don't.

@SenatorCollins, @lisamurkowski--we see you.

#ActiveMeasures by Russian intelligence services are the tactical/operational component of Strategic Deception.

What is Strategic Deception?

It is not only deceiving an adversary at strategic level, but fundamentally altering how the adversary sees/thinks/acts.
#TrumpRussia
The #counterintelligence challenge lies in not just the identification of penetrations, breaches, operations, and preventing/stopping them, but in understanding their purpose, manipulating them (not thru traditional law enforcement), and turning them back on the adversary.

⚖️Justice⚖️

Collusion is worse than a crime.
To debate whether Trump acted criminally is to miss the greater point: He’s a national security threat

“It’s a crime for a US presidential campaign knowingly to receive or even solicit anything of value from any foreign entity.”
⚖️Justice2⚖️

“It’s a crime for anyone, camp’n or not, to knowingly receive stolen data.”

“receiving stolen data triggers a complex nexus of crimes, both state & fed.”

DonJr, Kush, Manafort & other top 45 aides met with Veselnitskaya RIS spy offering damaging info re HRC.
