Wonder no more.

Well, she's currently up to spreading a disinfo campaign created by James O'Keefe's and his Project Veritas outfit about ballot harvesting in an another racist effort to smear Ilhan Omar.

Here's a thorough background on the smear: https://sahanjournal.com/digital-disinformation/project-veritas-ballot-harvesting-minneapolis/

James O'Keefe's name might ring a bell because he's the disinfo agent that produced the ACORN and Planned Parenthood smears.

Now that would be bad enough. But Tulsi won't settle with bad enough. She's now working with PragerU to run spots about Ballot Harvesting.

Hey Joe? What's PragerU? Well, it's an alt-right "educational platform" that is largely short videos geared at young people and run by noted racist Dennis Prager. Prager is one of the key speakers at CancelCon alongside PragerU contributor and racist and moron would-be comedian and podcast host Adam Carolla, racist POS, podcast host and moron media mogul Ben Shapiro, and notable racist POS and moron podcast host Dave Rubin.

Remember during the primary when Tulsi's willingness to give interviews to outlets like Breitbart/Fox News (as well as her relationships with people like Steve Bannon) were downplayed by one of okp's most fervent white so-called "progressives"? And when called on it tried to paint Black okps who called that shit out being "establishment Dems" in the pocket for Biden (none of us voted for Biden in the primary) trying to sew division?

Because I fucking remember. And I've got receipts.

really, the moment she started supporting BJP/Modi in India was when I was out

but the "bipartisanship"

Reformed = took a trip to Burlington for the first time this summer

His blind spots made so much sense to me after the trip

Still Love Bern, Still think his policies are the best for the country

But there is absolutely no way anyone in Burlington has any reference to the rest of the country

I imagine all the hippies from Woodstock decided to settle there

Patchouli oil, cut off denim shorts, dirty tank tops and duck dynasty beards... was at least half the population

...the other half were men...😂

YTest place on earth I think I’ve ever been...and I’ve been to Germany

I jumped off the Tulsi train a while ago...she’s touched.

If you can't understand it without an explanation

you can't understand it with an explanation

Not one bit

Can you imagine how stupid racist, or power-hungry Gabbard has to be to have gotten in bed with these people?

Imagine thinking she was, I don't know, someone "with the ability to unify people across the political spectrum."

Then imagine being told, "no she's a piece of shit and here's why" and then attacking those people.

Me? I can't even imagine that.

But some folks here don't have to.

“Damn I was wrong” is impossible for some.

Omar Jamal had his gofundme frozen (that can't be good)

And now Liban Osman is saying that Jamal offered him $10K to participate in the videos which went from "we're committing voter fraud" to "see what had happened was were just doing dramatic re-enactments of what could happen"

The new accusations are very he said/they said at this point but given O'Keefe/Project Veritas' track record (chances are) they did that shit.

https://www.fox9.com/news/subject-of-project-veritas-voter-fraud-story-says-he-was-offered-bribe

It's important to note the way disinfo/misinfo work is the lie is the the genie in the bottle and all people needed was to hear it, especially when someone like Congresswoman and former Democratic Nominee for President Tulsi Gabbard gets on a white nationalist platform (PragerU) to lend credence to it. Trump then spreads this lie at his campaign rally in Minnesota last week.

Remember this campaign was purposefully created to smear the Trump/right's favorite target Ilhan Omar as well as fuel distrust in both mail-in voting and the Somali community. The end-goal isn't just cast doubt and drive support from Ilhan Omar, it is ultimately to incite violence against her while ramping up support to strip people of color of their voting rights.

If you think this post is falling off the first page, it's not. I'm not that kind of nigga.

it gets blown up as a manipulated video or outright orchestrated scam.

unfortunately...when the truth finally comes out...it doesnt get anywhere near the circulation as the original video/lie.

------

hence my paragraph about how disinfo works. It doesn't matter if the lie is disproven as long as the lie got told.

What makes this situation even more egregious is Gabbard's involvement and her doing it through an alt-right platform.

That has direct connection to this community through its membership. You had a so-called progressive here caping for someone who was very clearly based on her access, actions, and relationships at least sympathetic to this movement. It was called out by you, myself, and others and that same white so-called progressive member tried to cast aspersions on us and OUR character and what WE were trying to do(distract and divide).

To me, that's more insidious than the even Stringer Bell shit or the unseasonedvet shit.

>To me, that's more insidious than the even Stringer Bell shit
>or the unseasonedvet shit.

was there something more insidious than him just being a loathesome racist piece of shit?

<----- Long Live The King

but that's my point. It's one thing to be a clearly loathsome, racist piece of shit it's another to act like you're some kind of progressive while championing a woman who has numerous ties to white nationalists, conservatives and the far-right and the far right and then attacking people (most Black) for calling that shit out.

That's insidious.

And then with the bravado and stupidity only a white so-called progressive can possess, reaction runs in here to:

1. Minimize what Gabbard did (which, and this keeps getting lost in the conversation, was get on an alt-right media platform to lend credibility to disinformation about voting fraud in an attempt to smear Somali votes and Congresswoman Omar)
2. IMMEDIATELY pivot to what she's doing for two white dudes deemed heroes by white so-called progressives (spoiler alert: they aren't heroes).

All of that is more insidious to me than some asshole whiteboy who shoots off at the lip because anonymity on the internet affords cowards courage.

I have to commend her for being one of the only people brave enough to stick up for Julian Assange. She just introduced a bill https://gabbard.house.gov/news/press-releases/reps-tulsi-gabbard-thomas-massie-introduce-bipartisan-resolution-defending-free

It's unconscionable what is being done to Assange right now and it's being pretty much ignored.

Journalist John Pilger has spent the last three weeks watching Julian Assange’s extradition trial at London’s Old Bailey. He spoke with Arena Online’s editor, Timothy Erik Ström:

Q: Having watched Julian Assange’s trial firsthand, can you describe the prevailing atmosphere in the court?

The prevailing atmosphere has been shocking. I say that without hesitation; I have sat in many courts and seldom known such a corruption of due process; this is due revenge. Putting aside the ritual associated with ‘British justice’, at times it has been evocative of a Stalinist show trial. One difference is that in the show trials, the defendant stood in the court proper. In the Assange trial, the defendant was caged behind thick glass, and had to crawl on his knees to a slit in the glass, overseen by his guard, to make contact with his lawyers. His message, whispered barely audibly through face masks, was then passed by post-it the length of the court to where his barristers were arguing the case against his extradition to an American hellhole.

Consider this daily routine of Julian Assange, an Australian on trial for truth-telling journalism. He was woken at five o’clock in his cell at Belmarsh prison in the bleak southern sprawl of London. The first time I saw Julian in Belmarsh, having passed through half an hour of ‘security’ checks, including a dog’s snout in my rear, I found a painfully thin figure sitting alone wearing a yellow armband. He had lost more than 10 kilos in a matter of months; his arms had no muscle. His first words were: ‘I think I am losing my mind’.

I tried to assure him he wasn’t. His resilience and courage are formidable, but there is a limit. That was more than a year ago. In the past three weeks, in the pre-dawn, he was strip-searched, shackled, and prepared for transport to the Central Criminal Court, the Old Bailey, in a truck that his partner, Stella Moris, described as an upended coffin. It had one small window; he had to stand precariously to look out. The truck and its guards were operated by Serco, one of many politically connected companies that run much of Boris Johnson’s Britain.

The journey to the Old Bailey took at least an hour and a half. That’s a minimum of three hours being jolted through snail-like traffic every day. He was led into his narrow cage at the back of the court, then look up, blinking, trying to make out faces in the public gallery through the reflection of the glass. He saw the courtly figure of his dad, John Shipton, and me, and our fists went up. Through the glass, he reached out to touch fingers with Stella, who is a lawyer and seated in the body of the court.

We were here for the ultimate of what the philosopher Guy Debord called The Society of the Spectacle: a man fighting for his life. Yet his crime is to have performed an epic public service: revealing that which we have a right to know: the lies of our governments and the crimes they commit in our name. His creation of WikiLeaks and its failsafe protection of sources revolutionised journalism, restoring it to the vision of its idealists. Edmund Burke’s notion of free journalism as a fourth estate is now a fifth estate that shines a light on those who diminish the very meaning of democracy with their criminal secrecy. That’s why his punishment is so extreme.

The sheer bias in the courts I have sat in this year and last year, with Julian in the dock, blight any notion of British justice. When thuggish police dragged him from his asylum in the Ecuadorean embassy—look closely at the photo and you’ll see he is clutching a Gore Vidal book; Assange has a political humour similar to Vidal’s—a judge gave him an outrageous 50-week sentence in a maximum-security prison for mere bail infringement.

For months, he was denied exercise and held in solitary confinement disguised as ‘heath care’. He once told me he strode the length of his cell, back and forth, back and forth, for his own half-marathon. In the next cell, the occupant screamed through the night. At first he was denied his reading glasses, left behind in the embassy brutality. He was denied the legal documents with which to prepare his case, and access to the prison library and the use of a basic laptop. Books sent to him by a friend, the journalist Charles Glass, himself a survivor of hostage-taking in Beirut, were returned. He could not call his American lawyers. He has been constantly medicated by the prison authorities. When I asked him what they were giving him, he couldn’t say. The governor of Belmarsh has been awarded the Order of the British Empire.

At the Old Bailey, one of the expert medical witnesses, Dr Kate Humphrey, a clinical neuropsychologist at Imperial College, London, described the damage: Julian’s intellect had gone from ‘in the superior, or more likely very superior range’ to ‘significantly below’ this optimal level, to the point where he was struggling to absorb information and ‘perform in the low average range’.

This is what the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture, Professor Nils Melzer, calls ‘psychological torture’, the result of a gang-like ‘mobbing’ by governments and their media shills. Some of the expert medical evidence is so shocking I have no intention of repeating it here. Suffice to say that Assange is diagnosed with autism and Asperger’s syndrome and, according to Professor Michael Kopelman, one of the world’s leading neuropsychiatrists, he suffers from ‘suicidal preoccupations’ and is likely to find a way to take his life if he is extradited to America.

James Lewis QC, America’s British prosecutor, spent the best part of his cross-examination of Professor Kopelman dismissing mental illness and its dangers as ‘malingering’. I have never heard in a modern setting such a primitive view of human frailty and vulnerability.

It’s Deny or obfuscate I guess

and point out what I said in the title of post 16 and what I was replying to in post 25 (the Assange comment). I thought the Veritas thing was BS from the jump and have been a huge supporter of Ilhan from the very beginning.

"Remember this campaign was purposefully created to smear the Trump/right's favorite target Ilhan Omar as well as fuel distrust in both mail-in voting and the Somali community. The end-goal isn't just cast doubt and drive support from Ilhan Omar, it is ultimately to incite violence against her while ramping up support to strip people of color of their voting rights."

Yes.

I can't think of a more perfect encapsulation of white would-be progressivism than that.
