Who is a Russian asset?

[waybread]

In intelligence-gathering and propaganda terms, an "asset" is a sympathizer or supporter of a foreign-nation's own subversive political goals. An asset will speak out in favor of the foreign nation's goals to the point of sowing discord at home or with one's allies.

Russia has long seen Donald Trump as an asset. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/29/trump-russia-asset-claims-former-kgb-spy-new-book

https://slate.com/news-and-politics...t-election-intelligence-community-report.html

Russia did not invade Ukraine during Trump's presidency: not because they saw him as strong, but because they thought if they stoked his ego and he got re-elected, he would pull the US out of NATO. They also saw American divisiveness over Trump as furthering the Russian goal of destabilizing its arch-enemy, the US.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has turned many far-right Americans against Russia and Vladimir Putin, even though they previously supported Trump's view that Russia was benign. A recent poll showed that 77% of Republicans now think Putin "is a murderous dictator."
https://www.politico.com/news/magaz...nvicing-most-republicans-trump-putin-00023845

But this still leaves a percentage of the far right as supporters of Vladimir Putin. Many are conspiracy theorists believe that pro-Ukrainian news media publish fake pictures of bodies in the streets of Bucha; and that toxic Ukrainian "biolabs" were real, for example.

In that sense, pro-Russia conspiracy theorists are "Russian assets." They are assets because Russia doesn't have to pay its own intelligence operatives to sow pro-Russian propaganda in the media when Americans will circulate pro-Russia opinions themselves. Public comments of America's Russian assets are shown on Russian state television.

Of course, other countries can freely sow disinformation abroad to their own political advantage when their propaganda is taken up in other places. Charles Lindbergh, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, were German assets in their day. Marine LePen is a Russian asset. Her party borrowed heavily from Russian banks and she advocates pulling France out of NATO.

My concern with this thread is with Russian assets who support Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

I believe the Catholic Church cooperated with Hitler at times, and the American Automaker Henry Ford got along well with Hitler .



Donald Trump 's ex wife Ivanka Trump said under oath during her divorce trial, testified that Donald's only reading material on his side of the bed with a nightlight, was a book of Hitler's speeches that he read at night.

https://www.businessinsider.com/don...-a-book-of-hitlers-speeches-by-his-bed-2015-8



Henry Ford was awarded Nazi Germany's Grand Cross of the German Eagle on July 30, 1938, his 75th birthday. He was the first American to receive the medal, the highest decoration Germany bestowed on foreigners.
Fritz Hailer, the German vice consul in Detroit, presented it to him at Ford Motor's Dearborn offices, explaining that Adolf Hitler wanted to recognize how the automobile tycoon made cars available to the masses. The previous year, the same medal was given to Benito Mussolini, the founder of Fascism and leader of Italy from 1922 to 1943.
Hitler was a big fan of Ford, a noted anti-Semite whose anti-Jewish publications inspired Hitler's rantings and speeches. The Nazi führer mentioned only one American in his book "Mein Kampf" -- Ford -- and had a photo of him hanging in his office


https://carolynyeager.net/july-30-1938-henry-ford-honored-medal-adolf-hitler



In 1937, Ford issued a [forced -cy] public apology for anti-Semitic pieces in his Dearborn Independent newspaper, including "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," and his book "The International Jew." However, a few years later, his anti-Jewish publications were reprinted.
Ford's Grand Cross of the German Eagle (pictured right) along with his other personal belongings, are part of the Henry Ford's archival collection, according to spokeswoman Wendy Metros. It is not on display.


There will always be people attracted to these types of others who have traits they admire. But when it's the Catholic Church or leaders of millions of people, then it's a huge worry for sure.

Do any of us recall this man? I do:


29 yrs old, said he just wanted to make some extra money - but he "unwittingly" helped the Russians elect Donald Trump - in 2016
https://edition.cnn.com/2019/05/14/politics/pinedo-released-from-prison/index.htm






The California fake ID salesman who unknowingly helped Russian trolls meddle in the 2016 election has been released after a six-month stint in federal prison. Richard Pinedo, 29, was released from federal custody on Monday, according to the Bureau of Prisons website. He was sentenced to prison in October after pleading guilty to identity fraud and served at least part of his six-month sentence at a federal prison near Taft, California.
As part of his sentence, Pinedo will now serve six months under house arrest. The federal judge overseeing the case also ordered Pinedo to complete 100 hours of community service.



In pleading guilty, Pinedo acknowledged that he sold dummy bank accounts to Russians who used them for online payment services, like PayPal. Pinedo's lawyer said his client was unaware that his customers were Russians and that they were trying to meddle in the election.
The scheme earned Pinedo about $40,000 over three years, according to court filings.

What does any of this have to do with Waybread’s initial post?

I think according to the Urban online dictionary, it's trying to put the kabash on someone's post and link referring to that particular arrest and imprisonment for breaking the law, regarding helping Russia, (knowingly or unknowingly)



much like trying to divert the thread....as I posted about a Russian asset whether the man actually knew he was or didn't know the judge still found him guilty or he admitted as much with a plea. The next poster came along and simply tried to divert the post.




kabash from Urban Dictionary:



To end; to terminate; to kill off in a nonbiological sense; kind of like squashing from a position of strength and with moral certitude; to basically reverse a decision or situation with conviction

"Red herring" is a better description imo.

"Information that is intended to be misleading or distracting from the real topic."

Whenever evidence is found that proves Putin found a way to get Trump elected in 2016 using Russian agents posing as American citizens on Facebook, the extraneous , irrelevant response is "No collusion, no collusion no collusion!"

So WHAT!? Putin STILL effectively gamed the Electoral College system in the swing-States. Trump STILL won WITH Putin's help. It doesn't even matter if Trump was clueless about it. It STILL HAPPENED, and foreign interference of that sort is STILL ILLEGAL, under the Election rules regarding a Presidential election as written in the Constitution.

Richard Pinedo becomes third person sentenced in Robert Mueller's Russia probe

By Clare Hymes
October 10, 2018 / 1:06 PM / CBS News







A federal judge in Washington, D.C., sentenced Richard Pinedo on Wednesday to six months in prison followed by six months in home detention for his role in Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Pinedo, whose website sold Americans' bank information online, pleaded guilty in February to one count of identity fraud. Although he is not as well known as other individuals charged by special counsel Robert Mueller, Pinedo is the third person to be sentenced in connection to the investigation.
After his initial sentence, he will serve two years of supervised release. Judge Dabney Friedrich decided not to impose a fine because he determined Pinedo would not be able to pay it. He will undergo location monitoring for six months and computer monitoring, which will be determined by the probation office. Pinedo will voluntarily surrender to the Bureau of Prisons back home in the central district of California.



the same day the special counsel announced the indictment of 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities.




note: These are your everyday Americans, who fancied forums like this one or Facebook, Twitter, etc. various Social medium sites. your neighbors and mine. This man only 29 yrs old, must have been down on his luck, needed the cash badly, ($40,000 over 3 yrs) he got from the Russian handler), not like the multi-millions that Manafort, Trump's right hand man in Russia and Ukraine made for himself, and Rick Gates (both worked for Trump's campaign)



https://news236.com/paul-manafort-a...t-arrested-all-charges-allegations-explained/
who took home Millions of dollars, these people took home only a few thousand dollars and actually got jail time ....whereas Gates & Manafort were pardoned by trump for their crimes.



There will always be desperate people in the United States looking for money and vulnerable to the powers that be to be bought off, and that is why we have FBI handlers looking for them all the time. One of the first books I read as a teenager on vacation at the beach (for fun) was about the Rosenberg trial (also Russia and U.S. citizens) written by their 2 sons which broke my heart for them. Their parents were both electrocuted. I never believed in the death penalty because it's irreversible, if you make a mistake you cannot give back a life. I believe her brother lied in that case although I can't recall now the particulars.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_and_Ethel_Rosenberg

For decades, the Rosenbergs' sons (Michael and Robert Meeropol) and others, had maintained that Julius and Ethel were innocent of spying on their country and were victims of Cold War paranoia. Not until the above reference documents were released, after the fall of the Soviet Union, did the extent of their crimes come to light.

The owner of Facebook was called to testify before Congress about his social media platform's role as a Russian asset.

[leomoon]

So? What about Hunter's laptop and Hillary's emails???... What about THOSE, huh, what about THOSE??? ..

just for the record here, I do think and have though all along, that Hunter Biden should be investigated again. He was investigated years ago as was his father by a bi-partisan (both Democrats and Republicans committee) but apparently that isn't enough now), so if something is there that they did against the law, we should know, and he (the President should step aside for 2024. We must know about this ahead of time imo. However, I don't think it has anything to do with Russia or Putin other then the Mayor of Russia giving Hunter a certain amount of money that must be explained. I heard Trump bellowing about that the other day, and once again, I do think it's important enough we don't need to hear trump's mouth about it, we need to know the truth about the payment exactly why it was made and what happened to it. ALL gifts from foreigners to anyone in Congress, the Senate and the White House employees must be made public, it's the law.


Just last week, it was in the news, that the trump people did not give the required list of gifts on their way out the door they were supposed to do , well the same is required of Biden when he was V.P. if he rec'd a portion of Hunter Biden's payment of money from the Mayor's wife. OR was he a Private citizen then? That is what needs to be made clear. So far, the WH refuses to talk about it. Therefore, it remains as a scandal something that must be answered imo.



The next Election is coming up soon we need to know who will be a good candidate.



Is this woman part of the current Russian Billionaires who are being sanctioned? My understanding is she is not. The WH will not answer this simple yes or no question either. Why not?



https://nypost.com/2020/09/23/hunter-biden-received-3-5m-from-russian-billionaire-report/


This seems to be extremely contradictory by trump, that he NOW complains, that he cannot ask the question of Biden, about the money from the Mayor of Russia's wife, (and good friend of Putin), but it is trump calling ALL the shots for the GOP and holding all the GOP money now for the next Elections! Therefore, WHY if he wants so much to ask this question, has he decided along with the GOP to not hold the traditional Q & A debates for the first time EVER for the Election of the President in 2023? It's rather self-defeating isn't it?

I don't follow him because I can't stand him, but he's on the news so much lately for outrageous statements, you can't help but hear about what he said.



Whether he does this deliberately to be the center of attention OR part of his massive salary for the Murdoch's I don't know, because they are all pretty much alike working there.


Here is a recent one from March 29th:



https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tucker-carlson-putin-warning_n_62428415e4b0742dfa561f77




Fox News host Tucker Carlson offered a warning on Monday about the repercussions of removing Russian President Vladimir Putin from power, and suggested that Islamic extremists would somehow get hold of the country’s nuclear weapons and use them on Americans.

“So, Russia has a large and restive population of Islamic extremists. Do we think it’s possible that with no one running the country ― because of course we have no chosen successor to Putin ― is it possible, if we did that, that one of those 6,000 nuclear weapons might wind up in the hands of some anti-American terror group and be used against our civilian population here?” he asked. “A nuclear weapon! Well, it’s not just possible, it’s likely.”

Carlson has made a habit of defending Putin, even after the Russian dictator made moves to invade Ukraine. Since the war began, Carlson has become a favorite for rebroadcasts on Russian propaganda channels for blaming President Joe Biden for the invasion, parroting Kremlin propaganda and spreading conspiracy theories justifying the invasion of Ukraine.



Earlier this month, a Mother Jones report revealed a leaked Kremlin memo that directed Russian state-sponsored media to use Carlson’s broadcasts “as much as possible” due to his criticism of the U.S. and NATO and defense of Putin.

 

[leomoon]

BTW: The "link", and it's content is similar to Bannon, the bff of trump who promoted the same type of stuff that Carlson is now promoting back in 2015 and then throughout the years he left the USA for Europe. That is, to put trump in power for the sake of Russia and demote the USA power hoping to destroy the democracy .


Actually pretty much what we are seeing today occurring.


You should be able to find online, various legitimate news articles regarding Steven Bannon when he worked for both Trump and then very conservative news-site called Breitbart owned by a wealthy heiress who supported his ideas and theories.


Bannon bragged about this before trump was elected in 2016 - and followed him into the WH for a few months.....and was the chief aide (same position that was then taken by Mark Meadows and Ivana I believe before him); but since he was reported by a biographer saying to the biographer that Ivanka was as "stupid as a brick" he became personnae non-gratis" for some time" until trump had need of him again. He was eventually pardoned in the end by trump.


Background:
Steve Bannon, a self-described Leninist who wants to “destroy the state” and “bring everything crashing down and destroy all of today’s establishment,” has risen to become one of the most powerful men in Washington.Now the former director of extreme right-wing documentaries is currently writing and directing his biggest film yet: Trump's America.
It’s unbelievable to think but Bannon, a man who thinks “darkness is good,” and cites Dick Cheney, Darth Vader and Satan as evidence, is now sitting on the National Security Council, in place of the director of national intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.


https://www.middleeasteye.net/opini...-down-us-democracy-has-started-be-very-afraid


Fast Forward [post Robert Mueller and post Trump's Pardons of his many crimes"] Steve Bannon is today, back in the USA (from Europe where he lived doing who knows what for a few years) in Italy and
now runs a popular Podcast:


Feb. 2022:


Steve Bannon praises Vladimir Putin's speech about Ukraine: “You wouldn't hear an American politician except for Donald Trump do that”

https://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=1162771


Is he praising Putin because he is feathering his OWN nest getting ready for trump in 2024 . Probably imo. He is also a known con artist. (his last crimes were cons and scams with the Chinese which he was arrested for and pardoned)



https://news.yahoo.com/trump-pardoned-steve-bannon-one-212144015.html

 

[blackbery]

Of course there's no link because Tucker has NEVER supported Russian incursion into Ukraine. But he HAS reported on the Hunter biden laptop from hell & how it incriminates the resident in the WH. He HAS reported on the biolabs in Ukraine funded by the DoD & had guests on to talk about these things.

So clearly Tucker is a Russian Asset when he reports Truth & Facts!

You MUST spew out propaganda & lies against Putin non-stop 24/7 or you are clearly a Putin 'puppet'.

Link please? I follow Tucker, but I haven't seen him do this. It would be useful to confirm.

Waybread: Your thread started out with what I called a very thougtful post. Probably the most thoughtful I have read in a long time.


I'm afraid, like our country, it is now hopelessly lost.


Likely, from "Russian Assets".....and/or Hillary's Deplorable? (there, I said it)


BTW: Today, Senator Elizabeth Warren said out loud what others simply will not say, and that is that Mark Meadows is in her view, a Traitor and a Liar. In his own way, as with most politicians in the Republican Party today, they are selling out their country to Putin and trump today for their own power and place in it. We all know it, and only she had the guts to say so out loud.


She is not just spewing words borne of no reason. There are tapes with his own words he is now disputing even saying when people can HEAR them with their own ears he didn't say those words.



Like I said earlier, I'm afraid this country simply will not be able to withstand it. . We need to change the Democratic Party in order to create a new party out of the rubble of change and what is left.


Truth must be the new mantra. Not a Social Media truth-out, but an Ideal which will be something that we can re-build a foundation upon. First we need an Attorney General who will act. This President will not interfere with the office of the Justice Dept. as he said on day one. However, when the Justice Dept. sits by and watches the country fall at the hands of those who corrupted it to begin with, and does nothing about that corruption, we know all is lost.

Steven Bannon A former banker turned film producer and right-wing polemicist, Bannon has praised not only Russian President Vladimir Putin but also a brand of Russian mystical conservative nationalism known as Eurasianism, which is the closest the Kremlin has to a state ideology. Eurasianism proclaims that Russia's destiny is to lead all Slavic and Turkic people in a grand empire to resist corrupt Western values. Its main proponent is Alexander Dugin, a Russian political scientist. Dugin's philosophy glorifies the Russian empire—while Bannon and the conservative website he formerly led, Breitbart News, revived the "America First" slogan, which Trump later adopted in his campaign.


note:
Rather ironic, when we realize that Steven Bannon grew up as an Altar Boy in a Roman Catholic Church background - took Holy Communion, became Confirmed (same as I was), and sent his daughter to the same Military school that Robert Mueller went to, when they bumped into each other and spoke about it one day....with Mueller asking him how could he send her there - knowing how the guys were. He and her mother had divorced long ago......it was not an amicable divorce~
Considering his political persuasions and how he has changed his politics so drastically since he was a young man, into what he is today; (hippie-like, breaking laws, conning people to take their money with scams, etc. wanting trump to tear down the government, (having a plan to do so he said) on and on;- something must have happened, between THEN (younger years, and NOW (older years) He is a brilliant man, and trump was really inspired by him for years listening to all this philosophy above.....regarding Russia vs democracy!!

Bannon attended an all-male Catholic military school in Richmond before matriculating at Virginia Tech, where he earned a B.A. in urban affairs (1976) and served as student government president. After graduation he joined the U.S. Navy, becoming an officer, serving on a destroyer, and receiving a post as a special assistant to the chief of naval operations at the Pentagon. During his navy tenure in Washington, D.C., Bannon earned an M.A. in national security studies at Georgetown University. Having left the navy in 1983, he attended the Harvard Business School (M.B.A., 1985), which led to a position in mergers and acquisitions at Goldman Sachs. Specializing in media and entertainment, Bannon relocated to Los Angeles
