N2K CSO Perspectives Ep 5574 | 10.9.24 Election Propaganda: Part 2: Modern propaganda efforts. Auto-Transcript from podcast: “lies about two election workers uh Ruby moss and Shay Freeman um claiming that they had done uh I try to remember the specifics either brought in ballots or gotten rid of ballots um but they alleged that they somehow interfered with the vote count Donald Trump tweeted this Rudy Giuliani went after them also and they had to flee their homes because of death threats and things like this so when we did our election research Gateway pundit was one of the um kind of repeat you know repeat spreaders who is very remarkably effective at making things that did not appear to be true go viral and so he had appeared in some of our writing there was also this anti vaccine activist that we just never heard of so all of a sudden we find out we’re sued on Breitbart by somebody we’ve never heard of um and Stephen Miller’s firm is is is conducting this this lawsuit and I can’t talk about pending litigation but what um winds up happening is that Jim Jordan takes the material that we’ve turned over under subpoena and give some of it to Stephen Miller he just goes and he gives it to him and um that is a remarkably unprecedented state of affairs like that is an astonishing breach of norms um and procedure and everything else”
Stephen Miller is behind the threats to local elected representatives in California over “sanctuary cities” — which is understood by some as any city that doesn’t help with rounding up anyone even suspected of being an immigrant. Back in November on an amateur radio channel I heard some guys from my region complaining about the mayors of Nanticoke and Plymouth, and one guy was saying things like that the “democrat mayors who go against Trump” are “going to find out the hard way” and then repeated distorted myths about immigrants. As far as I know there are no “sanctuary cities” per se in northeastern Pennsylvania, Democratic Party mayors in the Wyoming Valley notwithstanding. I couldn’t find any such policies near Nanticoke according to the Center for Immigration Studies which tracks places that have “sanctuary” policies. I have no idea if anyone tracks disinformation on amateur radio, but there’s quite a bit of it, I’m sure, since I have heard such things a few times and I’m not listening an awful lot. I have not, however, personally heard any vaccine misinformation on the radio. But healthcare issues are definitely political. And in fact, on radio forums, the only thing people complain about more than political opinions on the radio is people talking about medical stuff over the airwaves.
