The Russian Backed/Paid For/Supporting Links Thread

[Cannydc]

And the question remains, Fletch - the statements made in my previous post, true or false ?

For example, Sputnik, formerly The Voice of Russia and RIA Novosti, is a news agency, news website platform and radio broadcast service established by the Russian government-owned news agency Rossiya Segodnya.

Or RT network, a global multilingual television news network based in Moscow, Russia, is funded by the Russian government.

True or false, Fletch? I say that true is the indisputable answer.

YOU asked for evidence, I provided it. If you don't like the evidence, disprove it rather than spamming diversions from your original request,

Did you miss my comment about RT and Sputnik?

Why are you so obsessed with Russia?

The simple answer is that I'm not, Fletch - you are. And I'll take that as a yes, they are Russian state funded.

RT and Sputnik are just two tentacles of the same octopus. Just about every source you quote from is either Russian based, Russian funded or quotes stories lifted straight from sites that are one, other or both. You regularly quote Southfront, that site is professionally designed and registered in Moscow.

Why is that, Fletch ?

Only the UK/West are reliable news sources canny?

Instead of shoot the messenger, try refuting the actual articles/news rather than just trying to divert attention with your spamming, like raven.

Every source I quote from is not Russia funded or state backed. They are news aggregator sites with articles from all over the world, many from world renowned journalists, but you're not interested in the content, just diverting discussion and trolling.

Time it stopped.

[Cannydc]

To answer your question, no. However, I am of the opinion that there is a network of sites allied to / paid for by the Russian State.

Some you describe as 'news aggregating' sites, some direct from Moscow (see my original post on origins).

Bearing that in mind, and knowing for sure that they have an anti-West propaganda aim (admitted by Russia) I have, as previously stated, no intention of sorting through each and every time in the hope that they might be true.

Put it this way, I still trust BBC a hell of a lot more than Sputnik et al...

Watch the Great Hack Canny, it says it all.

link doesn't work, but You where looking for the source. some have changed, there used to be far more links to western msm headline reports with Words like probability, likely, could, may, possible, looking for evidence (the merry go round, like the war on drugs and crime) as evidence. russia today was the most watched youtube channel the first news channel to receive one billion views.

What the F......

@ Art, Cannydc, Fletch & co ….. having funs, boys?

[Text]

Oh don't mind me, I have no intention of hanging around.
I don't even want to know what this strange topic is about!

[Fletch]

To answer your question, no. However, I am of the opinion that there is a network of sites allied to / paid for by the Russian State.

Some you describe as 'news aggregating' sites, some direct from Moscow (see my original post on origins).

Bearing that in mind, and knowing for sure that they have an anti-West propaganda aim (admitted by Russia) I have, as previously stated, no intention of sorting through each and every time in the hope that they might be true.

Put it this way, I still trust BBC a hell of a lot more than Sputnik et al...

So why do you always reply to posts with the spamming of Russia, Russia, Russia then?

As I said before, the truth doesn't interest you nor do facts or even the journalists writing the article, you just want to promote the western narrative of 'them bad, us good'.

[Fletch]

Oh don't mind me, I have no intention of hanging around.

It's about canny and raven trolling the news section day after day, week after week with impunity. We have already lost Jack because of it and any meaningful discussion is swamped by their trolling.

TL/DR canny and raven are cunts.

In The World Of 'Fact', Russiagate Is Dead. In The World Of Politics, It's Still The New '42'
By Craig Murray

Douglas Adams famously suggested that the answer to life, the universe and everything is 42. In the world of the political elite, the answer is Russiagate. What has caused the electorate to turn on the political elite, to defeat Hillary and to rush to Brexit? Why, the evil Russians, of course, are behind it all.

It was the Russians who hacked the DNC and published Hillary’s emails, thus causing her to lose the election because… the Russians, dammit, who cares what was in the emails? It was the Russians. It is the Russians who are behind Wikileaks, and Julian Assange is a Putin agent (as is that evil Craig Murray). It was the Russians who swayed the 1,300,000,000 dollar Presidential election campaign result with 100,000 dollars worth of Facebook advertising. It was the evil Russians who once did a dodgy trade deal with Aaron Banks then did something improbable with Cambridge Analytica that hypnotised people en masse via Facebook into supporting Brexit.

All of this is known to be true by every Blairite, every Clintonite, by the BBC, by CNN, by the Guardian, the New York Times and the Washington Post. “The Russians did it” is the article of faith for the political elite who cannot understand why the electorate rejected the triangulated “consensus” the elite constructed and sold to us, where the filthy rich get ever richer and the rest of us have falling incomes, low employment rights and scanty welfare benefits. You don’t like that system? You have been hypnotised and misled by evil Russian trolls and hackers.

[Whether Trump and/or Brexit were worthy beneficiaries of the popular desire to express discontent is an entirely different argument and not one I address here].

Except virtually none of this is true. Mueller’s inability to defend in person his deeply flawed report took a certain amount of steam out of the blame Russia campaign. But what should have killed off “Russiagate” forever is the judgement of Judge John G Koeltl of the Federal District Court of New York.

In a lawsuit brought by the Democratic National Committee against Russia and against Wikileaks, and against inter alia Donald Trump Jr, Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort and Julian Assange, for the first time the claims of collusion between Trump and Russia were subjected to actual scrutiny in a court of law. And Judge Koeltl concluded that, quite simply, the claims made as the basis of Russiagate are insufficient to even warrant a hearing.

The judgement is 81 pages long, but if you want to understand the truth about the entire “Russiagate” spin it is well worth reading it in full. Otherwise let me walk you through it.

The rest at https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives ... he-new-42/

Copies of the judgement on link.

Now read that canny and see how you have been so woefully mislead.

[Cannydc]

See above...

TL/DR

The thread is about Russian propaganda sites used as links on the forum - NOT RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN THE US ELECTION FFS.
