A MACRO-THREAD👇🏼

[Joni Askola @joni_askola]

It turns out you cannot artificially manufacture cultural relevance forever.

The far-right pipeline of industry plants is hitting a wall, proving that no amount of financial backing, algorithmic manipulation, or bot-farm views can save talentless, dishonest, and fake political content creators.

The strategy was lifted straight from Russia and the European far right. The anti-democracy libertarian tech bros who supported MAGA realized that winning elections required full narrative control. They did not just buy up traditional media and hijack the algorithms, they also created and boosted the people making the content.

This whole ecosystem is completely fake. They built a network of paid influencers, using a mix of established names and pure industry plants who were engineered for fame. Characters like Lex Fridman and Nick Shirley were aggressively pushed to the top by powerful people like Elon Musk.

Even people within their own circles are blowing the whistle. Ashley St. Clair recently exposed the reality of these right-wing influencer networks, revealing how creators are given explicit marching orders and told exactly what to post behind the scenes.

The desperation peaked with the Tenet Media scandal, where right-wing darlings like Tim Pool and Benny Johnson were exposed for taking dirty blood money from Russia to parrot pro-Putin and anti-Ukraine talking points to American voters. They are literal traitors.

But the grift has an expiration date. These far-right plants got massive before and after Trump's election, but they are having an incredibly hard time maintaining the illusion today.

Go look at their actual cultural impact. They have become totally irrelevant, and nobody talks about them anymore. They are entirely dependent on bot farms to make them look popular, but real people have completely moved on

The names linked to the men jailed for attacks on Keir Starmer’s properties are disturbingly familiar to those of us who warned against Putin’s efforts to disrupt Britain 10 years ago, writes Sergei Cristo

In France, a Belarusian citizen suspected of spying for Russia has been arrested.

According to Le Figaro, the man was caught while filming a prototype of a military drone on the premises of a company that works for the defense sectors of France and Ukraine.

According to the Paris prosecutor's office, the suspect was filming the Delair company near Toulouse - a manufacturer of drones, which are supplied, among other things, for military needs. The investigation established that after the filming, he allegedly passed the video materials to a contact in Russia.

The man is charged with transferring information to a foreign state. Under French law, if found guilty, he could face up to 15 years in prison.

Separately, the investigation is checking the possible connection of the incident with an attempt to set fire to the company two days before the arrest - then unknown individuals threw Molotov cocktails, but the incendiary mixtures did not work.

The trillionaire who used Twitter to make America commit suicide in 2024 is using it to make Europe commit suicide in 2026.

No one understands the power of this website to change people’s brains subconsciously. He can target geographically and psycho-graphically. It’s a weapon.
