Stenographers’ Day Out - Not Journalism

Chasing George Santos gets us no closer to the truth, but it does get us closer to losing the war.

When you see clips of stenographers trailing chaos agent George Santos around Washington, please note - that is not journalism.

It’s theatre craft:

I recognized George Santos immediately as theatre craft, a form of Russian active measures that introduces new characters as if in a play whose role is to distract from the more important headlines - corruption of their leader, the theft of nations.

My Theatre Craft post reveals Santos’ as a new actor in Kremlin and Fifth Column maskirovka, and for evidence, documents his financial ties to one of Putin’s closest oligarchs. The Kremlin is using really sh*tty people to wage psychological warfare against Americans. The goal is to hack our minds, because Putin knows he’ll get crushed in actual kinetic warfare with the West. It does not matter how many lies these sh*tty people are caught in - lying is the message - to devalue truth and to distract from massive crimes such as January 6.

What matters is getting Fifth Column traitors and agent provocateurs out of power, not creating clown show clickbait.

When you see news clips of congressional chaos agents at podiums telling lies, please note that is not journalism. The studios will cut to the anchors who are normalizing active measures. That is enabling the propagandists to move the Overton Window toward a new not-normal. If the studios were not complicit, they would mark the clips as propaganda, so Americans would not be continually confused and primed to accept unreality. The idea is to obfuscate reality.

An explainer:

The Fifth column in America - comprised of GOP extremists, tankies, and tech leaders - are using Kremlin techniques to create chaos, despair, destabilization, and confusion, to distract from weaponized statehouses

Lastly, if you need additional evidence about Putin’s war on the West, please listen to my interview with Keir Giles, Peter Jukes, and Adrian Goldberg on Byline Times Radio. I was able to articulate the rolling insurrections we are being pummeled with.

As I noted in the interview, “Putin’s ‘generals’ are still in the field, and we fail to stop them every time. I don’t want to keep reading reports three years too late… Russia recruits broken people. Why are we allowing a disgraced general to run around radicalizing people, making his own cult. How many more shootings do we need? How many more politicians or loved ones need to be shot at or hit with a hammer for us to understand that we have a radicalization problem?

“We have to get past the denial. Joe Biden has to make a national address that we are the target nation of ongoing active measures, that is the only way we can break through the denial.”

"We have a radicalisation problem that leads back to the Kremlin, and to the Fifth Column operatives that they have engaged for this type of warfare..." @Heidi_Cuda on #Putin and #Russia @BylineTimesPod @GoldbergRadio from @BylineTimes

As I wrote yesterday, conspiracy theories are weapons of war.

“Spreading wild conspiracy theories benefits fascist movements.”-Jason Stanley, How Fascism Works

The media, by continuing to report en masse at a surface level - parroting the words of Kremlin and Fifth Column propagandists - is responsible for a dereliction of duty. It doesn’t matter who wore a dress. That is not the point.

As I wrote in my Trump Unmasked report, “Corporate media outlets continue to platform him, while failing to confront the fact that their outdated ideas of journalistic impartiality are failing the very people they’re meant to serve.”

We had a glimmer of hope this week - with the arrest of an FBI agent working for Oleg Keripaska - an agent tasked with protecting us from foreign agents like Trump.

We have a rot in America - in our media, in our congress, in academia, in tech, and in our intelligence agencies.

The only way out - short of high level arrests - is truth and reconciliation. Chasing George Santos gets us no closer to the truth, but it does get us closer to losing the war.
