THREAD: Word on the street is that Moscow is escalating their pseudo-scandal active measures campaign (aka âBurismaâ/âDemoCorruptionâ/âUkraineGateâ) against @JoeBiden over the next week or so, by dropping their propaganda lies through a report from Sen. @RonJohnsonWI (R-WI). https://twitter.com/selectedwisdom/status/1308550453479735297
Sen. Ron Johnson & his henchmen are getting their (dis)information from an old GRU operator named Andrey Derkach, who currently represents Putin in the Ukrainian parliament (yep). CIA has found that Putin is directing Derkachâs actions personally: /2 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/09/22/secret-cia-assessment-putin-probably-directing-influence-operation-denigrate-biden/
Derkach & Johnson have a crew of henchmen on this operation, notably including Rudy Giuliani & Chanel Rion of OANN, who traveled to Ukraine together (just gonna say it: ew) to get fed propaganda directly from Derkach himself. /3 https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/06/biden-ukraine-recordings-oan/612454/
This is an incredibly brazen & transparent attack on our ability to act in our own interests as a society. Putinâs support for Trump is intended as a decapitation strike. This is a play for all the marbles, done with the expectation that the victim will be unable to retaliate. /4 https://twitter.com/propornot/status/1177290724800286720
There is now NO plausible scenario wherein Putin/Trump lose the White House yet avoid facing direct, personal, public, & painful retaliation.
This is by design. Putin set it up this way. This is mafia state SOP. Now theyâre all all in. They have to be /5 https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2014/sep/18/decoding-russian-criminal-tattoos-in-pictures

Trump is a sneak attack in Russiaâs war on us - a walking, talking, slowly escalating, bespoke stealth Pearl Harbor. This is what it looks like when a mafia state wages war, & this is a war that Putin intends to win. He has to. His only plausible victory conditions are total. /6 https://twitter.com/propornot/status/1028006451548053505
Decades of accumulated Russian propaganda have effectively reduced many folksâ ability to EVEN CONCEIVE of the fact that Russia is at war with us.
This illustrates the reach, influence, & generational scale of their propaganda operations.
The poison already runs deep. /7 https://twitter.com/propornot/status/994635383122968577

Itâs incumbent on all of us to raise awareness about Putinâs use of Sen. Ron Johnson as a human disinfo dump, & put it in its appropriate context.
Keep track of personas & outlets that try to pass it off at face value. This is a valuable litmus test. /END https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/09/10/trump-team-welcomed-russian-disinformation-trump-administration-further-confirms/
