You probably remember Lauren Chen. She’s an attractive hapa from YouTube who made videos against feminism or whatever. I don’t watch videos made by women, but I was aware of her. She’s popular.
She may be getting indicted by the Department of Justice for being a Russian spy.
An unsealed indictment the DoJ released this week claimed that RT was funding her company, Tenet Media. Allegedly, they gave her $10 million, and the company never registered under the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA), which made this an illegal spying operation, according to the feds.
Tenet was not named in the indictment, but it was easy to figure out who they were talking about.
Thus far, only people from RT have been indicted – or rather, only their indictments have been unsealed – but it seems obvious that Chen and her husband are going to also be indicted as Russian spies.
WIRED has an article going through the details that the government is giving.
Here is Jewish Attorney General Merrick “Garland” Garfinkel laying out his case:
AG Merrick Garland unveils a series of targeted actions against Russia's election interference efforts, saying Putin's "inner circle" directed companies to "promote disinformation … as part of a program to influence the 2024 U.S. presidential election." https://t.co/PzYR4zN3vI pic.twitter.com/KTfDB21om8
— ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) September 4, 2024
Tenet hired Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin, and others. Allegedly, 90% of their income was coming from the Russians, and the DoJ has evidence that they knew where the money was coming from, even though there were some attempts to disguise it.
At one point, they were waiting on their money, and they googled “time in Russia,” apparently to see if the Russians were awake yet. That’s a weird piece of proof, but I guess it is proof.
YouTube has now removed the channels of the company. They also deleted Chen’s personal channel, which has videos going back to long before she is accused of being involved with Russia. Mind you, she has yet to be charged, let alone convicted of anything.
Tim Pool is denouncing the whole thing, trying to keep from getting thrown under the bus.
Pool has made tens of millions of dollars, mostly completely unrelated to Chen’s Russian shill operation, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the DoJ freezes all his accounts and moves to shut him down.
Frankly, the stated allegations appear to be true. It’s unlikely that it was all made up whole-cloth. I don’t know that I believe it’s Russians, but someone gave Chen a bunch of money.
If it was actually Russians, I will defend this Russian shilling. There is a really easy basis on which to defend these Russian shills: “But what about Israel??”
Ben Shapiro, Dennis Prager, and virtually the entire US Congress are paid agents of Israel, working on Israel’s behalf, and none of them are registered as foreign agents because there is a narrative that whatever is good for Israel is good for the United States. There is no basis for that narrative, and I could just as easily claim that whatever is good for Russia is good for the United States. In fact, I do claim that, constantly, basically every day.
What’s more, the US is super hypocritical for whining about Russia paying Americans to influence American policy, given that the US does this literally everywhere in the world. They don’t even have to pay people, because they’ve devised a system where their own social media companies – pretending to be “private companies” – go all over the world and influence politics. Further, the US was funding a gay-anal-vaginism website called “Meduza” in Russia, which was very popular, and Russia didn’t shut it down until the war started. They labeled it a “foreign agent” and then let it continue to operate.
You cannot totally stop foreign countries from using the internet. FARA is a law that existed before the internet – it was passed in 1938 – and was not really in use until they started charging people from the Trump Administration with it. Remember that the US has started riots in Georgia against that country’s attempt to pass a FARA of their own.
Here’s an article from the Council on Foreign Relations claiming that forcing foreign agents to register is a Russian conspiracy, and that requiring foreign agents to register destroys democracy.
Furthermore: Tenet Media was founded nearly three years ago, in January of 2022. From the way the reporting on this story sounds, the company was started with Russian money, and that would mean that the DoJ knew about it from the start. You can’t really keep this sort of thing secret. Maybe you could keep the communications sort of secret (though probably not), but you definitely can’t keep ten million dollars going into a US bank account secret. So they knew about this, and are just now announcing it before the election. Apparently, they want to prove, yet again, that Russia supports Donald Trump.
We’re all the way back to 2016, and the “Russian interference” gibberish.
Hilariously – I think this is hilarious – Putin has endorsed Kamala Harris, citing her “infectious laughter.”
Putin never says anything that isn’t sarcastic. That’s his style and certainly, aside from his competence, one of the main reasons he’s so popular in Russia. Russians would rather hear things from the government stated in the form of hardened sarcasm, rather than earnestly.
In reality, even though Donald Trump is more or less useless, Russia probably would prefer him, as there is at least a chance he will end the Ukraine war. There is a chance Kamala would as well, because this has all gotten extremely expensive, and there is no stated goal of the operation. But, all things considered, Trump is more likely to slow or stop the flow of armaments to the Ukraine, if for no other reason than that he wants to send everything to Israel (and maybe the Philippines, we don’t really know what his thinking is on that, because this current election doesn’t have anything to do with issues).
That said, Chen was telling people not to vote for Trump. This is from just a couple weeks ago:
Furthermore, Tenet was not making a lot of videos supporting Russia. Most of these videos were the same slop about “culture war” and “politics” that we are all too familiar with. And they were not even getting significant views.
Most right-wingers are already against the Ukraine war, so there wasn’t really any reason for Russia to pay them to do that.
There is a possibility that this is all some kind of hoax – that feds went to Chen and paid her $10 million while pretending to be Russians.
I can tell you as a matter of fact that I’ve never gotten any money from Russia or (which would probably be more likely) China. It seems like if they were going to offer anyone money, it would be me. I’m the top shill, and I’m also the most influential. That’s a fact. I might only get 25 million views a month, but everyone copies my material. That’s very well-established. All popular right-wing content producers who are not total Israel shills copy my stuff, so I am the prime candidate for an influence operation. I’m also very good with secure communications, and I don’t even live in the United States. And yet, I’ve never once been approached.
This is anecdotal – sort of – but the fact no one has ever asked me to shill for them makes me wonder if this is even a real thing. Russia already has RT, which is very popular globally (even after it was kicked off of YouTube), and again, the fact of the matter is, most right-wingers naturally support the Russian position. Hiring people through some shady scheme in order to promote the idea that the Ukraine war is bad or that Trump is better than Kamala is sort of a ridiculous plot.
So, while the current evidence presented by the DoJ does seem to indicate there was a bunch of money coming from somewhere – which sort of has to be true, given the amounts they were paying people (they paid Dave Rubin $400,000 per month) for content that was not hardly getting any views, it might make more sense that this is some kind of false flag operation.
It ultimately can’t be proven either way. However, media is suggesting that Chen might not actually be charged. If that is the case, I think it’s safe to say the whole thing was completely fake. Right now, they’ve only indicted Russians who are outside of their jurisdiction and who they know they will never arrest, so they can just accuse them of anything. But if they were to take Chen to court, she would have a bunch of lawyers, and they would be able to do discovery and figure out more details about where exactly the money was coming from.
If Chen really was knowingly taking money from Russians in order to “undermine our sacred democracy,” then there is no reason not to charge her, unless the whole thing is fake. Frankly, the fact that they didn’t announce charges against her at the same time they announced the charges against the Russians says a lot.
The feds pretending to be Russians and giving a bunch of money to random YouTubers and then coming out two months before the election and saying there’s a big Russian scam against our democracy, in my opinion, makes more sense than an actual Russian plot to tell YouTubers to talk about things they were already talking about.

If the same rule doesn’t apply to IsntReal, then it isn’t a rule, it’s a bludgeon.
Thing is, you never know who is ‘behind’ the ‘news’ you read. If you follow a site or author long enough you will eventually get their gist–where they stand and whom they support. But you never know who supports them. One can never be sure.
Mainstream media outlets support the regime. Whether they receive dollars from the government…? In such an obvious case it makes little difference because their editorial stance is so transparent.
But what about more popular ‘alt’ sites? Take for example the frequently cited ‘conservative’ economic-news oriented site, Zerohedge. Without seeing their books, who can really say about their funding? But editorially it is clear that they are in step (at least in large part) with the Epoch Times media operation, which itself is associated with the cultish Falun Gong organization, an anti-PRC quasi-NGO outfit. One likely supported by the CIA due to its ‘pro-Taiwan’ stance.
Or even here on the UR. One presumes that it’s Ron simply engaging in alternate journalism, and offering a ‘safety valve’ (as Wilmot Robertson called his Instauration forum) for those fed up with mainstream dogma. Not to mention his commenters writing replies in the drop-down box.
One really has to take most of it on faith, because in this Age of Paranoia, not much is certain.
What you’ll find out is the money is skimmed Izzie aid money. CIA launders it and allocates it to various domestic ratfucks to frame all dissidents as foreign agents.
Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea need to do more to eradicate the CIA impunity regime from the face of the earth.

Such as another recently celebrated martyr to intellectual autarky, Andrew “Judge” Napolitano?
During his time as TUR columnist, St. Mueller’s altar boy endorsed not only the censorship of foreign commentary on American elections, but the criminal prosecution of American people who participated or even discussed it with others, foreshadowing the lawfare against Scott Ritter, Richard Medhurst, et al. Here’s just a bit of the most execrable of those Napolitano columns:
“Mueller in Hot Pursuit” (Andrew Napolitano • February 22, 2018). The whole thing was creepy as hell. Anyone who takes a few minutes to read it and the comments it drew will never trust him, especially on the subject of free speech. Isn’t the fallout for soiling this website with his DOJ sycophancy during Russiagate what led to the never-explained departure from TUR’s roster? Neither Ron Unz nor any other author will answer my question, or even acknowledge it — omerta crickets.
Mr. Napolitano has since worked hard to rebrand from the “Freedom Watcher” of natural and Constitutional rights to a Larry King-ish talk show host and color commentator on foreign policy. How fitting that an episode with the Brazilian Pepe Escobar entitled “RUSSIA READIES WAR WITH NATO!” is what triggered that YouTube “first strike,” and has him hypocritically whining about censorship that he helped to Establish.
When was the last time the DoJ had a connection to ‘Justice’?
Especially since Bush-Cheney, DoJ simply thugs in suits.

Pat Buchanan was always the strongest advocate for good Russo-American relations, but the establishment never dared to accuse him of being a Russian agent.
Why not?
Because they knew he wasn’t afraid to say “I’m not a Russian agent, but you are an Israeli agent.”
Trump, Lauren Chen, Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, and Dave Rubin are all vulnerable to the bogus “Russian agent” slander because they are afraid to fight back.
They are afraid to call out the real foreign interference, the Israeli interference.
Hopefully I will live to see Garland jailed as an Israeli agent.
Of course Putin wants Kamala and her crew of Keystone Kops. They’re easily manipulated and the Left’s economic ideas will probably destroy the American economy and leave the Russo-Sino alliance in the catbird seat.
Wrong, unfortunately.
The purported “anti-interventionist’s” last years here at TUR were in consistent service to the Establishment as Right jamb of the Overton window on the issue and foreign policy generally. He endorsed — and, AFAIK, never renounced — Washington’s narratives about Russia hacking the 2016 election and invading Ukraine, invariably serving it up with pronoun propaganda to convince the American people that Uncle Sam was always the good guy acting in “our” behalf.
You may not have been around, but I read him closely and pointed this out dozens of times. The hagiographic airbrushing of what the man actually wrote (and didn’t) is baffling.
But ((Shapiro)) and ((Prager)) are Hebroid “bloodline”, Judeofascist made-men. They’re the “chosen” and so the rules don’t apply to them. ((Garland)) himself is a Hebroid bloodline Judeofascist, just not so openly.
Of course, the Hebroids are actually Sodom and Gomorrah, as Israel — the homosexual rape state — is now openly demonstrating. And the Judeofascists have always been parasite degenerates who attached themselves to Moses, the Prophets, Jesus Christ, Christian Logos, and Western Civilization… But we can’t let facts and logic get in the way of the Judeofascist/ Marxist-Zionist/ Globohomo/ Clownworld narrative. And Shapiro, Prager and Garland are vanguard, Narrative architects of the agitprop and commissar variety, only they’re working on behalf of Judeofascism — but made-mobsters like Garland, Mayorakas, Blinkin, Fink et al still have to be subtle about it, even though it’s increasingly difficult for them to hide what they are.
If it was actually Russians, I will defend this Russian shilling. There is a really easy basis on which to defend these Russian shills: “But what about Israel??”
Ben Shapiro, Dennis Prager, and virtually the entire US Congress are paid agents of Israel, working on Israel’s behalf, and none of them are registered as foreign agents because there is a narrative that whatever is good for Israel is good for the United States.

I say:
Israel is a rancid millstone client state of the American Empire.
Israel is a strategic liability that undercuts and undermines the foreign policy interests of the American Empire.
Israel must be completely and totally cut off from any contact or connection to the United States of America, the American Empire and the US military.
The US military must no longer be used as muscle to fight wars on behalf of the millstone client state of Israel.
The Treasonous politician whores in the Republican Party are completely and totally controlled by Jews Organized Globally(JOG). Billionaire Jews such as Mim Adelson and Paul Singer and Bernard Marcus have bought and paid for the Israel First foreign policy of Trump and the rest of the politician whores in the Republican Party.
Andrew Jackson and George Washington would never allow a millstone client state such as Israel to control the foreign policy of the USA.
Israel must be severed from any contact or connection with any intelligence activities or intelligence information sharing or any contact with federal, state or local law enforcement in the USA.
Republican Party politician whores such as Donald Trump and Mike Johnson and Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley and Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell and many, many others who put the interests of Israel ahead of the interests of the USA must be removed from power.
Thousands of US soldiers were killed in George W Bush’s Iraq War debacle. Tens of thousands of US soldiers were horribly wounded, maimed, burned, butchered and mentally broken by George W Bush’s Iraq War debacle.
George W Bush is a treasonous little Baby Boomer piece of shit Republican Party WASP rich boy who put the interests of Israel ahead of the interests of the USA when he dragged the US military into the Iraq War debacle. Plenty of other Republican Party politician whore rats want to drag the US military into more wars for the ungrateful millstone client state of Israel.
I’m out of evaluates at the moment but that’s one the best posts here in ages.
And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city, which is called spiritually, Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord also was crucified.
> One likely supported by the CIA due to its ‘pro-Taiwan’ stance.
I can’t imagine what “pro-Taiwan” could mean in the year 2o24. In the current year, PRC is an elephant and Taiwan is a flea and their economic interests are hopelessly entangled. Plus CIA is clearly concentrating on Russia as the current fake (but necessary) enemy.
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Merrick Garland, Antony Blinken and Alejandro Mayorkas are aiding and abetting the illegal alien invasion of the USA.
Biden, Harris, Garland, Blinken and Mayorkas must all be immediately arrested for aiding and abetting illegal alien invaders and for illegally giving the illegal alien invaders safe harbor.
Biden and Harris and Garland and Mayorkas and Blinken must be arrested and when they are convicted they must be sentenced to lengthy prison sentences and then after their prison terms are served, they must have their citizenship revoked and they must be legally and forcibly deported to walled and fenced concentration compounds in a hot and fetid part of sub-Saharan Africa.
Biden and Harris and Garland and Blinken and Mayorkas all push mass legal immigration and mass illegal immigration and REFUGEE OVERLOAD and ASYLUM SEEKER INUNDATION.
Biden and Harris and Garland and Blinken and Mayorkas are anti-White and anti-Christian.
Mass legal immigration, mass illegal immigration, REFUGEE OVERLOAD and ASYLUM SEEKER INUNDATION increases housing costs, lowers wages, swamps schools, overwhelms hospitals, destroys habitat for wildlife, causes urban and suburban sprawl, creates multicultural mayhem and brings infectious diseases, crime and terrorism to the United States of America.
JEWS ORGANIZED GLOBALLY(JOG) are certainly attempting to bring about WHITE GENOCIDE in European Christian nations by using mass immigration as a demographic weapon, but I think JOG will be stopped in their evil demographic designs, and I think JEWS ORGANIZED GLOBALLY(JOG) will be EXPELLED from all European Christian nations.
IMMIGRATION MORATORIUM NOW!
DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS NOW!

Tweet from 2024:
100% agree. especially considering russiagate was debunked (CEO of crowdstrike said there was no evidence of Russia hacking Hilary’s email server) and the people under Tenet do not speak positively about Russia. it’s just another shitty low-effort CIA psychological operation. Rubin’s funding most likely comes from Israel or Zionists as he’s aligned with the alt-right, which was created by Israel. The CEO of turning point USA is ex-israeli intelligence.
Tim Pool is basically a shitlib. He repeats CIA propaganda.
Au contraire on the Judge. I’m sure he disappointed many of his supporters when, after being reinstated by YouTube, he stated that, as a private company, they are not bound by free speech laws and have every right to ban his show, for any reason or no reason.
As for the Russians (allegedly) paying hundreds of thousands to small fish YouTubers, like the lovely Lauren Chen, one wonders how much under-the-table money big fish like Col. MacGregor, Larry Johnson, and Scott Ritter (who is already in trouble with the DOJ) could command if they were on the take. Ritter was already set up by Garland’s Injustice Dept. and might wind up back in jail. How many more of Judge Naps weekly pro-Putin, anti-Netanyahu commenters, including the Judge himself, could be cancelled and possibly prosecuted if the blood-thirsty, pro-censorship, far left Kamala/Garland regime is Selected this November?
A lot of these current and former “alt-right” gals have been “persecuted” in order to arouse the white knight syndrome.
One would think these massive platforms are required to maintain some sort of neutrality to avoid the charge that they use their monopolistic positions to manipulate the public with absurd levels of bias and censorship, particularly with reference to their claimed authority to determine the truth and falsity of the so-called “facts” they proclaim to be official truth.
I agree on Buchanan. He was both a Cold War and a Culture Warrior who hated atheistic communism, and his most frequent target was the Soviet Union. I don’t know if his views changed much after the USSR imploded. As it is with the low information American public as well as the US intelligentsia, it’s hard to stop hating something when you have been conditioned to hate it all your life. In his final years of writing, Pat seemed to become much less controversial and more mainstream.
He was mostly anti-interventionist when it came to fighting Israel’s wars. He was smeared as a bigot by the Usual Suspects when, on the McLaughlin Group, he bravely (and correctly) said the only groups “beating the drums” for war in the Middle East are the Israel Defense Ministry and its “Amen Corner” in the US. The uproar by the ADL and others that followed was like a ten-alarm fire. It seems that nothing has changed. Comments like his remain verboten in the Jew-controlled MSM.
Pat was a hero when it came to the Jewish menace as well as his anti-immigration stance. Not so much when it came to Russia.
“there is at least a chance that (Trumpstein) will end the Ukraine War”
during his 2015-16 run for Prez, the Orange Baboon repeatedly promised to end ALL the wars,
and when elected proceeded to end NONE of them.
and will so proceed again. The notion that Jew-owned Trumpstein will “end” the Jew-Zionist Ukraine war, or the Jew-Zionist Greater Israel War, or any other war, is absurd.
THIS is what Jews push on the US but do worry about Russia…
In October 2018, the New Yorker published an article called “Russia Won”. The online title has since been changed to “How Russia Helped to Swing the Election for Trump”.
Notable points: Kathleen Hall Jamieson was approached by the WSJ in 2017 to write an op-ed of her belief that Russia helped elect Trump, and “The Kremlin” was behind the Doug Mackey ‘vote for Hillary by text’ meme.
What really seemed to upset the establishment was that they lost control of the narrative, and Julian Arrange got the blame for the Wikileaks release of emails. The security establishment had failed to protect the people at the top, and the 2016 election was the result.
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/10/01/how-russia-helped-to-swing-the-election-for-trump
And NONE of them are Semites.
Putin recently said Harris is the best choice for President (as he grinned). This means she is now a Russian agent.
This means that every reporter in the US paid by a foreign government (like the BBC) must register as a foreign agent?
Only fools think that anyone who criticizes America’s disastrous foreign policy is a foreign agent. Or trolls paid to smear them.
Russian spy?
How can you take seriously anything coming from a legacy media that is nothing but an Orwellian “ministry of truth!”
Every time we have Russia taking another Ukrainian town then all we get are news stories about Russia losing thousands or troops, these reports are straight out of Ukraine.
Expect many more stories of Russia losing in the coming months as “Ukraine marches forward” by walking backwards!
Is this what the U.S elite were thinking as they tried to build their “rules based order?” It looks like the same criminal lying scum of the past to me.
The western populations that graze happily on their narrowing world at the same time they believe Tom Cruise is still flying victories in the worlds’ skys will see living standards dropping as the lies will come thick and fast by the “elite” at why life is becoming difficulty.
Sooner or later the west will have to remove the elite.
Good points. As to the MSM – isn’t it that Operation Mockingbird exposed that they don’t control the whole organization but place people in certain positions to “influence”. And they don’t try to control all stories – just certain narratives – so to not be so obvious…?
Don’t you recall columns like Can the FBI Investigate the President? (Andrew Napolitano • January 17, 2019), and your comment (#4) there?
So when is Hunter Biden getting slapped as a “foreign agent” for all of the money he received from overseas?
Trump is a lying POS. And people lick up everything that plops out of his mouth like it’s ice cream. They love it! They’re so stupid they’ll believe almost anything. I’m praying for nukes to fall so that the earth will be cleansed of these stupid fuckers.
It’s a perfect retort. One that only a Buchananite. might dare to say.
I constantly see these videos on YouTube where someone babbles about how the “Russians are losing this…blah blah blah or losing that…. blah blah blah” and yet they constantly move forward. How does that work? And these sites will have hundreds of thousands of “views” for such inane drivel in the shortest time span possible. It has to be all fake because that just doesn’t happen in the news field to obscure nearly no-name channels.
I say:
mr pewitt you are 100 per cent on the money with this post.

“the company never registered under the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA), which made this an illegal spying operation, according to the feds.”
Not registering under FARA is different from spying (espionage). I tried to figure out how to register under FARA and could not figure it out. I think you need to actually travel to Washington DC to be interviewed, but I could be wrong.
This is the best I could find:

Uh, that’s Julian Assange
We have had the liar generals from both the U.S and Britain bypassing the usual propaganda outlets to address questions directly and to propagate lies first hand about Iran ballistic weapons to Russia and superweapons, molten metal dragon drones and all such nonsense…and the Western media are talking about everything Russian except the collapsing Ukrainian front.
Its nearing the end and its NATOs’ move…enter the war or see the raw material theft project disappear which will mean the rule of the world by the West is over.
If Chen had endorsed the Gaza Genocide, she’d be sailing sweet.
Picture Merrick Garland in a Gestapo uniform. Its quite easy.
None of this is true. Russia would obviously prefer Kamala, and there is zero chance Trump would do anything to end the Ukraine war (he has stated many times that he would escalate the war).
It would make sense if this were fake. I don’t see what Russia would have to gain by amplifying lukewarm centrist political positions like those of Tim Pool or Lauren Chen. It’s in Russia’s interests to push polarization and further fragmentation of the American polity, which is the opposite of what Pool and Chen represent. It would make sense if it were the FBI or American intelligence agencies or something pretending to be Russians, though.
anything paying dave rubin 400k per selfie is a jewish operation
Hard to believe they’re dusting off the same Bolshevik playbook again but here we are…
Your “Age of Paranoia” is actually the Age of the Jewish Century wherein most in the dying “West” have been fatally infected by the Judeofascist Sodom and Gamorah “Israelites”, international Zionist Globohomo, and worldwide, Golden Calf voodoo.
The hyper materialist and sick and perverted jew demon is running wild in the minds and souls of men.

It’s probably, yet again, another FBI setup.
What’s most disappointing about the judge is his shilling for Lear Capital, which he recommends as “thoroughly honest” though its CEO has been convicted of defrauding customers of many millions of dollars in New York and California. Look up the company and CEO DeMeritt; it’s all online.
I have been in precious metals since the 1980’s and have seen so many scammers come and go who primarily target the gullible true believers on the far Right. Lear’s specialty was hurriedly getting the victim to agree to what CEO DeMeritt deceitfully terms a “cost fee” of 33%. This is a fee of a full third of the value of the precious metals in the purchased coins, added on later to the initial transaction amount. The industry standard is a 2% to 5% premium over bullion value, depending on the volume of the purchase.
It’s certainly ironic that libertarians who fetishize distrust of all government swear by the U. S. Mint’s pledge that their bullion coins sold by such dealers always contain their full weight of gold or silver, and they purchase them by the tens of millions annually from legitimate retailers.
To be fair a lot women operate on a level far removed from reality, they believe in fair play and kittens and rainbows, they are easy prey for red blooded males, let alone as victims for the evil ones.
Lauren Chen gives off an aura of female naivety.
“Tenet” was a head-scratching film by Christopher Nolan that was based on the idea that cause and effect are inverted so that the effect happens first, and then later, the cause arises, and sort of takes a time machine backward in order to produce the effect. I don’t know whether or not Chen’s Tenet Media had the film in mind, but there is a definite irony here. Namely, Chen’s predicament is the effect, and we don’t know what the cause is, and in fact, the cause still has to be created.
Believe it or not, I recently experienced this inversion on the part of medical “providers” at a teaching hospital. I believe that this inversion is now at loose in the society. Btw, I saw the head-scratching film twice, and the scabs on my head are still healing from the severe difficulty of trying to follow the film.
Regarding Trump or Harris ending the war in Ukraine it’s looking like the people running foreign policy, probably Jake Sullivan, are getting ready not so much to end the war but want to dump it in Europe’s lap. Not before the coming fake election though. Like Zelensky, the US thinks it’s in the driver’s seat. This is delusional, or they just want to convince the public they are in control of the war. It will be the Russians that will end the war, and, on their terms, I think. At least that’s the way it looks to me. The alternative is, depending on how insane the neocons are, is the US using so-called tactical nukes in Ukraine because that’s all they have left and none of this will matter after that.

This utter stupid story shows plentifully that Russia couldn’t have influenced at all the election of Donald Trump in 2016. They are capable of nothing sophisticated, this is all they can do, less than nothing…
To pay such huge amounts of money for basically nothing is stupid beyond words. Chen would have posted the same thing regardless of their money and they really gain nothing out of it. The sheer scale of colossal stupidity is unbelievable.
Russians think that any young person who speaks any kind of English is a valuable leader. This Simonyan woman who runs RT is just another imbecile posing as a manager. There is another blatant case of idiocy at the highest level, another woman who doesn’t have a clue and is a proved idiot, Elvira something running the Russian central bank (who somehow managed to maintain 300 billion assets abroad when the intervention in Ukraine started, money prime for confiscation…). Those two are so much alike and they demonstrate the level of imbecility of people graduating social studies in Russia who go on and fill incredibly high positions, totally beyond their intellectual reach.
If their technical people would be at the same level of incompetence, the country would have fought with nothing… But it’s obvious they are of a different kind from those two stupid women posers making a mess of important Russian institutions.
I bet Simonyan presented the Chen case to their secret services as a huge success of infiltrating American media. They infiltrated nothing and influenced nothing. All these structures have big budgets that must be spent on something. They believe is better to spend it than not and throw away money on nothing just to have something to report. The same as football (soccer) boards in Europe who out-compete one another to just buy players at ridiculous inflated prices, most of the times getting average shit.
It is for stories like this and people like these that the Russians are not taken seriously by Western countries.
You moron, it wasn’t really Russians, they have other things to do than worry about American influencers and American fake clown elections. It was the FBI or some other agency. This is on the same level of “Biden is a CCCP agent”. Americans ar dumb and believe anything.
Dude, you’re plain stupid. It was the Russians, the money were traced back to them and it’s just a sort of thing a simpleton like Margareta Simonyan or yourself would do. I described the reasons for my conclusions, obviously they are way above you, so just keep away, retard.
I hope you weren’t referring to me as a paid troll, Carlton. I DO NOT think that those 3 honorable gentlemen are working for or being paid by a foreign government. That’s why I specifically used the word IF in my comment. I’m a big fan of all three and hope to god that they are right when they report that Zelensky and his corrupt regime is on its last legs.
Just call it the Jewish Press (mainstream media)
That’s what it is isn’t it?
Well, I won’t vouchsafe for the Russian government because most governments are run by idiots and this may be the Russian case too, and to be honest I didn’t even know who was this Lauren Chen, but on the surface this looks more like some kind of thing the FBI or some other agency would do to discredit “right-wingers” and create fear about “election interference”. It’s the same fear-mongering from 2016. Then again, who knows.
It seems she had worked before for RT, in any case. Come to think of it, I don’t really see what is so wrong with some YouTuber receiving some pocket change from Russia, when Jewish money is everywhere in the U.S. In Canada, there are many pro-Ukrainian bloggers, some receive money from the Ukraine or from the U.S., but that doesn’t seem to be illegal.
Sorry, I misread your comment. The entire story makes no sense. We are told these pod-casters were paid large sums as part of a Russian influence op, but didn’t know the source. But that would defeat the purpose! How can Russia influence them to say things if they don’t know Russia paid them money indirectly?
Read what happened to this guy.

The Russians didn’t spend $10,000,000 on Lauren Chen. When the US government makes a claim, I don’t believe it. If that makes a person a moron, so be it. No, Russia didn’t “hack the 2016” election, and no, Lauren Chen is not a Russian agent.
The US government believes the bigger the lie, the louder you shout it, the more the millennial shitbirds will pretend to believe it. They are literally having their faggot voiced millennial minions put out that Russia’s nuclear warheads are non-functioning.
The best explanation for ineffectual channels like RT is that Russian Jews in close contact with American Jews work together on it. Putin’s Achilles Heel is that the Jews have their hooks everywhere in Russia and they must have them in Putin’s hide as well
