@w7voa Gonna start filtering any post referencing that rag going forward. This is wasting everyone's time.

@PhoenixGee @w7voa

In information wars, it's poor military strategy to shut off sources of intelligence

A good question now rises, who is funding the malign influence narrative using the @nytimes as a propaganda vehicle?

It's not the 1st time the New York Times platformed a Nazi movement.

Who is pushing these press releases for the Heritage Foundation.
Edelman again?

@nytimes @Npars01 @PhoenixGee @w7voa These are great questions. The NYT is not some independent robotic entity. Human beings are making these decisions. We should name them. And ask them if their mother would be proud.

@Npars01 @palin @PhoenixGee @w7voa @nytimes One anon reporter attributes it to #Sulzberger himself but that doesn’t answer your question- what or who is behind his lurch into Fascism

@lawyersgunsnmoney @palin @PhoenixGee @w7voa @nytimes

The lurch towards fascism is funded by 3 groups.

1. Hostile states like China, Russia, OPEC.

2. The fossil fuel industry

The fossil fuel industry wants to continue frying the planet. So they hire PR firms to lobby the media & publish right wing policy press releases as "news".

Their goal is to destabilize any democracy that threatens their hegemony.

3. The financial services industry is replete with wealthy boomers who...

... don’t want to pay taxes. Any taxes.

So they hire public relations firms & lobbyists to thwart the growing power of an immiserated future generation.

Billionaire boomers ran up the national debt, now they want to leave the restaurant and let the young pay the tab.

The next generation is ticked with the old & wealthy for very good reasons.

Scott Galloway has something to say about the wealthy's war on the young.

@Npars01 Well it’s past this Boomer’s bedtime 😉 I absolutely agree that the right including billionaires don’t want to pay any taxes and that has fueled their goals. Since Clinton more or less balanced the budget, the GOP has made deficits skyrocket, mostly to give tax breaks to their donors. To me that is unrelated to one’s generation. I would like to continue this discussion because there seems to be a lot of ageism and misunderstanding and I’m including myself and my cohorts in that

@Npars01 @palin @PhoenixGee @w7voa @nytimes Hey I get that - I was referring to Sulzberger and his shift but maybe it’s the same answer: Who’s buying advertising.
Late Boomer here btw

@lawyersgunsnmoney @palin @PhoenixGee @w7voa @nytimes

Not all boomers are wealthy.

A succession of financial crises have left most with just the expectation of Social Security.

The billionaire boomers have raided every source of wealth and hoarded it to themselves.

They want to privatize Social Security and "play with it".

@Npars01 @lawyersgunsnmoney @palin @PhoenixGee @w7voa @nytimes Agism is just one more way to divide and fragment the people, suspect by the oligargraces.
With Putins good gtaces. If fascism comes to US, maybe oligarchs will be falling from windows, as in Russa?
