The “accusing the other of that which you are doing” continues. Ed Martin, supporter of J6 Nazi and beloved guest of RT propagandists, now going to be at DOJ investigating “weaponization”. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreifuag3dmhiiu2q5345fqg3vwhjl3ppeybqwsy47thgo6glja65goe
The accounts run by the bot farms will talk to the official Meta AIs about their deformed pets, homemade cakes, and wood carvings. They will all be friends and pray to Shrimp Jesus. RE:

So I periodically post to Substack and I did today - about Darren Beattie and the upcoming State Department Files - and a man got triggered by it and started an exchange with me by leaving an angry comment asking how he came to be subscribed to a cretinous censor’s Substack. How indeed? 🤔😶‍🌫️😶 https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreibjsjeyi7pfcz2xiwjvrk7rnkszxfaxr62iy5zxliim2tocn4pc5q

Counterpoint: Surgeon General-in-waiting Casey Means is a podcast-circuit Instagram wellness influencer, "We are the media now" and all that, broadcast is cooked. RE:

She is on a top rated Fox News show which makes her far more qualified than low level weekend host Pete Hegseth. Checkmate, libs.
I want parents to listen to this, bc there's real power in organizing around protecting kids -it's an incredible motivator -but the mantle is being claimed by one side. Casey Means & RFK Jr use this rhetoric while undermining public health interventions that protect your kids. Needs a counter-mvmt. RE:

The naiveté of reporters who write about MAHA wellness influencers floors me sometimes. "Maybe Casey Means won't be so bad!" What is RFK Jr doing now that he's confirmed? Just some "eat less sugar" stuff, or is he pushing the same antivax bullshit he pushed for a decade before gaining actual power? https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreigawqkgzhm2q3gojbo6frsu5sfymrct5muctauxb4o5dxiggfhm6a https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreielv22pzozur4r6npo7l3kfjsc5g34q2lq5k34osv5ooodmxmjndq
Framing, in comms, is how info is selectively presented... Counted -> "Targeted" Public research study -> "Internal docs" Presentation -> "Confession" That's how Mike Benz reframes something basic- "EIP tallied tweets in our report" -as nefarious. He does this constantly. It's the whole game. RE:
