In every one of the Black PSYOP posts I’ve done, I’ve referenced Paula Chertok’s reporting that the earliest mention of Vice President Biden having a potential ethical and/or legal problem was Russian agitprop first reported in Russian state backed media RIA Novosti. I have also referenced in several of these earlier posts that Secretary Kerry’s step-son was also referenced.* As I’ve explained in these previous posts this was done to begin to dirty up Vice President Biden and Secretary Kerry who were both reportedly considering running for president in 2016.
On Saturday I explained that the President’s defense team would try to launder the debunked Russian conspiracy theories about Ukraine, not Russia, interfering in the 2016 election and doing so to frame Russia and the President for doing so, as well as the agitprop that Vice President did something illegal in regard to Ukraine in an attempt to cover up for the fact that his son had a sinecure. This is what the Republican members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Judiciary Committee were using the impeachment hearings to perpetuate the Black PSYOP of laundering Russian conspiracy theories, misinformation, and agitprop through each committees’ hearings and into the mainstream news reporting.
Today former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, a member of the President’s defense team, laundered this Russian agitprop from 2014 through the Senate and into the news. And you can see that this is a direct transmission of the agitprop cited above because Bondi suddenly introduces a new player into her narrative: Secretary Kerry’s stepson Chris Heinz. The video below is queued up to start at the 5:25 mark just before she introduces the agitprop.
For those that don’t want to watch the audio-visual extravaganza that is Pam Bondi, here’s the transcript:
Here’s how Hunter Biden came to join Burisma’s board in 2014: He was brought on the board by Devin Archer, his business partner. Devin Archer was college roommates with Chris Heinz, stepson of Secretary of State John Kerry. All three men, Hunter Biden, Devin Archer, and Chris Heinz had all started an investment firm together. Public records show that April 16th, 2014, Devin Archer meets with Vice President Biden at the White House. Just two days later, on April 18th, 2014, is when Hunter Biden quietly joins Burisma, according to public reporting. Remember this is just one month after the United Kingdom Serious Fraud Office opened a money laundering case into Burisma, Hunter Biden joins the board.
Now compare this with the RIA Novosti reporting above.
As of right now the PBS Newshour and other mainstream broadcast and cable news stations have either the full video of Bondi’s time at the podium or clips of it up on their digital and social media feeds. That’s the first step of the information laundry for the Black PSYOP. The second step has already occurred, if you keyword search “Pam Bondi John Kerry’s stepson” you get results from conservative to far right digital “news” sources. The first page of returns includes The Daily Wire, Breitbart, Towhnall, The Epoch Times, Daily Gaming World, and GLOCKTalk, which is a firearm’s forum and the thread is full of inaccurate conspiracy theories like this one:
Those returns also include mainstream reporting, such as this article from Newsweek. But it won’t be long until the right wing digital news and social media ecosystem push this from the fringes to Fox News. Once there this five year old Russian agitprop, intended to be part of potential active measures campaigns against either Vice President Biden or Secretary Kerry in 2016 will get broadcast to a much wider audience. And just in time for the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary both Vice President Biden and one of his most senior surrogates, Secretary Kerry, will be dirtied up. Just the way Vladimir Putin wanted back in April 2014. Which is why Bondi did it. To get results like this:
ERNST: "IA caucuses are this next Monday evening. And I'm really interested to see how this discussion today informs and influences the Iowa caucus voters, those Demcaucus goers. Will they be supporting VP Biden at this point?"

Open thread!
* I really don’t understand why Elizabeth Cheney was included in the agitprop that was initially placed in RIA Novosti. There was reporting in 2015 that Bill Kristol was floating VP Cheney’s name for a potential 2016 run. And VP Cheney did suggest that he thought VP Biden should run in 2016. But neither of those makes any sense as to why Russia’s misinformation and agitprop campaign would include his daughter in what was clearly a placed piece of agitprop in 2014 to dirty up potential 2016 Democratic candidates.

Going by yahoo the GOP senators are “gasp, this is a terrible day for Biden’s defense against these charges!” So by next November the GoP will be babbling about the “President Biden Impeachment”

I ran across this and posted below earlier today. Burisma seems to have a popular board for one to get on…
The former VP of Eric Prince’s Blackwater, Cofer Black, current Chairman of Total Intel, a private intelligence gathering group owned by Blackwater; was appointed to the Burisma board in 2017, and remains on the board today. Black is ex CIA, was appointed by George W Bush as Coordinator of Counterterrorism, (a position he left in 2004) and is a former Romney confident. (Blackwater’s Eric Prince is Secretary of Education Betsy Devos’ brother and a close confident of Tramp’s.)
There again seem to be layers of truth here we are deemed unable to know; like the Bhengazi consulate fronting the CIA selling weapons to the “good militias”. Shit is fucked up and shit.

Anyone who is anti trump will be attacked by these horror conspiracy theories. What is happening in USA RW politics is as bad as anything I have seen in my lifetime in a so called democracy. That they bring other countries into their stories to bring down their political opponents is horrifying. Benghazi seems like a minor annoyance compared to their latest intrigues. I am reminded of the days of the Borgias.

So, the people in the MSM who are paid decent money to carefully vet this kind of information are just going to let it slide right on through? Ear-worms straight to the electorate’s brains? (Rhetorical)
Time to get caught up on these posts and will pass links around. I’ve missed a few b/c studying sites that have been vetting Wilmer. The stuff that’s turning up suggests that yeah, BS could easily be Vlad’s second choice if Trumplestilkskin gets removed. Which is worrisome because he’s a fave in this next-state-over.
Thanks for all the information.

@Enhanced Voting Techniques: “Clearly, the only way to stop President Biden is to impeach him before he can be elected” will almost certainly be a rallying cry of the GOP and BernieBros by mid-March.

Today, I got an email from “People’s Action,” some liberal advocacy group I’ve been getting stuff from for so long I don’t remember how I got on their list.
But today’s had the subject “Biden’s lies about Medicare for All,” and told of how they occupied his Iowa office to “hold him accountable for his lies” and “demand he tell the truth.”
*Click* – unsubscribe, less email filling up my inbox.
I looked up their website, apparently they endorsed Wilmer, and I guess “MFA must not be questioned, and anyone who does must be in the pocket of the insurance companies” comes with the territory. Not a good sign, though.

Adam, I woke up from one of my frequent naps, (I have severe, chronic Sciatica in my right foot), and turned on the PBS replay of today’s hearing, only to see this nice looking woman, (hey, after Ken Starr and the Dersh, anything would look better), almost reciting verbatim from one of your agit-prop posts, and I thought, “how can this even be happening?”, but here we are, looking back out through that damn looking glass.

@Redshift: There’s a group of kids who are concerned Iowans who are or were conducting a sit-in in Biden’s campaign office until he agrees to M4A. He’s in the pocket of the insurance companies! I left a rude tweet after I read their manifesto and am wondering how many people I will have to mute tomorrow.
ETA: didn’t notice they are the same people. They had a different name.

When I google Michael Rivero, the first hit was a website chock full of batshit including the following quote, which does not seem like something a true “peace activist” would say.
JWR
@Eljai: Michael Rivero is the guy who used to run the site What Really Happened, which was a blogmess full of some pretty wild-ass stuff back in the late 1990’s-2000’s. I had no idea he was still around, but I would guess, and this is just a guess, he’s gone full Trumpanzee by now, but I’d be glad to be proven wrong.

I don’t start reading the Juice until bedtime and I need to chime in about something mentioned in an earlier thread; please pardon my lateness.
The NYT hand-wringing about TruNews—the Nazi broadsheet with White House access—is particularly galling to me because I lost a friend due to a front-page NYT story about Bannon.
Long story short, the article was fellatio-via-newsprint; never mentioned the racism issues at Breitbart, called Bannon “the most dangerous man” in media, IIRC. Made him sound sexy instead of diseased. My friend, who had voted for Obama, started reading Breitbart because the Times made it sound edgy and now he’s guzzling the Trump-aid. The alt-right press told him it wasn’t his fault he couldn’t hold a job or find a girlfriend—the racism trickled in almost imperceptibly.
If the NYT had written a factual article—or even noted that Breitbart dubbed it “The Jew York Times”—my friend might still be a lovable misanthrope instead of a deplorable. Folks at the NYT aren’t appalled TruNews is a white power publication; they’re just jealous TruNews is usurping their administration access.

Maybe they feared Cheney and just used the opportunity.

Russian doesn’t want the Bush old guard back in the WH. The misinformation is to paint any challengers to their WH asset as tools of the old GOP and Wall Street insiders. It’s designed to make sure any third party or GOP challengers to Trump are painted as corrupt and tools of the deep state. They are targeting Jill Stein, Bernie and Johnson voters and keeping them from getting out of the disinformation echo chamber.

When you shoot your own guy to show you’re with them, you pick someone to shoot who seems to have no real value or position despite their visibility. If you don’t particularly care for them or their family, that’s a plus too.
Hence Cheney.

Bondi is now tied to Lev Parnas’ corrupt schemes in 2018, when she met with him several times. Parnas mentions meeting Bondi for lunch in April 2018 on the famous audiotape of his dinner with Trump, and Parnas’ lawyer has released photos of Bondi and Parnas yucking it up together.
