So I won't link the site I am looking at, but I feel like a new front is being opened up.

This whole disinfo thing has me intrigued. I think there is some retaliation going on after the disembowelment of the MSM by Donald Trump.

Without going into a whole bunch of what I think, this site has a list of other websites and examples of what they are saying is Russian Propaganda.

Many of those sites are sites I have turned to for 5+ years.

In particular, Ron Paul Institute. That site is listed as a MAJOR source and repeater of "Absurd Pro-Russian Content".

Here it is the RPI article linked as an example. http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2016/may/22/beware-what-you-wish-for-russia-is-ready-for-war/

And here is the link being critical of the Ron Paul Institute and naming names.

http://freebeacon.com/politics/the-ron-paul-institute-for-putins-priorities/

Not sure if the freebeacon article has been discussed here, as it was posted back in March 2014.

Some of the allegations is quoted below,


John Laughland, a member of RPI’s academic board, serves as director of studies at the Institute of Democracy and Cooperation (http://www.idc-europe.org/en) in Paris, a pro-Kremlin NGO that was founded in consultation with Russian government officials.
The IDC was founded as an effort to “repair Russia’s damaged image in the US and Europe and at the same time extend the reach and influence of the [Government of Russia],” according (http://www.wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/08MOSCOW375_a.html) to a U.S. State Department cable published by Wikileaks

I thinks its fucking hilarious that they are using wikileaks as a source.

Discussion?

Hopefully, the disconnect between the media elite and reality will bite them on the ass. I think they have become so isolated and incestuous that all they can think of is decades-old cold war bullsh!t - i.e. "The Russians Are Evil!"

I think the majority of people under 40 are rolling their eyes going "wtf? srsly?"

we'll see.
