Patriot,

The latest revelations in the "Twitter Files" scandal are
absolutely shocking.

As I explain in my most recent column below, the entire effort to
delegitimize the presidency of Donald Trump as the result of
"Russian disinformation" was a total fraud.

Naturally, the discovery is being downplayed by the media. But
the damage done by these false accusations was severe.

These fraudulent actions have caused real damages and must be
addressed.

Together, we will hold these people accountable for their lies.

I hope you will join me.

If so, please support Campaign for Liberty's continuing work to
hold our leaders accountable with a contribution.

If you haven't seen it already, please read my latest column,
below, and pass it on.

For Liberty,

The Real Disinformation Was The 'Russia Disinformation' Hoax

Thanks to the latest release of the "Twitter Files," we now know
without a doubt that the entire "Russia disinformation" racket
was a massive disinformation campaign to undermine US elections
and perhaps even push "regime change" inside the United States
after Donald Trump was elected president in 2016.

Here is some background. In November, 2016, just after the
election, the Washington Post published an article titled,
"Russian propaganda effort helped spread 'fake news' during
election, experts say." The purpose of the article was to
delegitimize the Trump presidency as a product of a Russian
"disinformation" campaign.

"There is no way to know whether the Russian campaign proved
decisive in electing Trump, but researchers portray it as part of
a broadly effective strategy of sowing distrust in US democracy
and its leaders," wrote Craig Timberg. The implication was clear:
a Russian operation elected Donald Trump, not the American
people.

Among the "experts" it cited were an anonymous organization
called "Prop Or Not," which in its own words claimed to identify
"more than 200 websites as peddlers of Russian propaganda during
the election season, with combined audiences of at least 15
million Americans."

The organization's report was so preposterous that the Washington
Post was later forced to issue a clarification, even though the
Post provided a link to the report which falsely accused
independent news outlets like Zero Hedge, Antiwar.com, and even
my Ron Paul Institute as "Russian disinformation."

The 2016 Washington Post article also featured "expert" Clint
Watts, a former FBI counterintelligence officer who went on to
found another outfit claiming to be hunting "Russian
disinformation" in the US, the "Hamilton 68" project. That
project was launched by the Alliance for Securing Democracy, a
very well-funded organization containing a who's who of top
neocons like William Kristol, John Podesta, Michael McFaul, and
many more.

Thanks to the latest release of the "Twitter Files," Matt Taibbi
reveals that the Hamilton 68 project, which claimed to monitor
600 "Russian disinformation" Twitter accounts, was a total hoax.
While they refused to reveal which accounts they monitored and
would not reveal their methodology, Twitter was able to use
reverse-engineering to determine the 600-odd "Russian-connected"
accounts. Twitter found that despite Hamilton's claims, the vast
majority of these "Russian" accounts were English-speaking. Of
the Russian registered accounts - numbering just 36 out of 644 -
most were employees of the Russian news outlet RT.

It was all a lie and the latest Twitter Files release confirms
that even the "woke" pre-Musk Twitter employees could smell a
rat. But the hoax served an important purpose. Hiding behind
anonymity, this neocon organization was able to generate hundreds
of media stories slandering and libeling perfectly legitimate
organizations and individuals as "Russian agents." It provided a
very convenient way to demonize anyone who did not go along with
the approved neocon narrative.

Twitter's new owner, who has given us a look behind the curtain,
put it best in a Tweet over the weekend: "An American group made
false claims about Russian election interference to interfere
with American elections."

The whole "Russia disinformation" hoax was a shocking return to
the McCarthyism of the 1950s and in some ways even worse. Making
lists of American individuals and non-profits to be targeted and
"cancelled" as being in the pay of foreigners is despicable. Such
fraudulent actions have caused real-life damages that need to be
addressed.
