@JtC

if many of the top liberal web sites were receiving USAID pay outs, doesn't it make sense that the largest liberal blog in the country would also receive funding?

@on the cusp Not only Hillary, but changed to support gay marriage, became one of thee most anti-Russian militant war mongers, started personal attacks on known progressive voices. The website reflected those changes. During first two years of Ukr conflict, easily three anti-Russian diaries. And those posts could have been straight out of pre-world war II Germany. In his own postings he pimped himself what I call Field Marshall van Markos with his brilliant analysis of the war in Ukr. Along with his sudden admiration of Hillary, he and his crew actively removed and censored, and deleted accounts who thought otherwise. I noticed that anytime anybody praised Occupy Wall Street, some troll or bot would show up and attack it as not helping the democratic party.

I am sure that a good number of paid monitors were on the site to smash anything not praising the DNC.

Kos backed Obama, hammered Hillary. And, all at once, Hillary was his gal.
Hmmm...All at once, like something had changed him suddenly.

@on the cusp

I took great satisfaction posting the article kos wrote about Hillary when he was saying that she is ‘our’ candidate. I don’t think he ever addressed my comments.

The article was titled: Hillary too much of a Clinton democrat.

@BORG_US_BORG

that the Colorado dem party did by suppressing the result of his clear 18-point Super Tuesday win here for six weeks (“still counting”, “too close to call”) until after he had dropped out. That finished me.

I clearly remember the 2016 primaries. Amy Goodman, and Brooks and Shields would go out of their way to NOT mention Bernie Sanders by name. When he was cleaning up in the mid-wes t and south-west, they would say Her lost the state, instead of saying Bernie won it. When the tide was obviously on Bernie's side, they started posting the weighted totals with the "superdelegates", even though they (as I understand it anyway) aren't pledged or supposed to be counted until the convention, to further dampen the groundswell.

And don't forget the absolute ratfucking that ghouls like Harry Reid did in Nevada, and their tricks to minimize access to voting booths in Latino majority areas i.e., Arizona.

@BORG_US_BORG Two weeks before the Oregon primary in 2016, a local dem polling company came up with a poll that claimed Hillary was ahead of Bernie by double digits (mayb up to 15 points). Local legacy media really pushed the poll including public radio. At the time Bill was touring the state and could not manage a full coffee shop. Bernie won easily by double digits. Just shows you how much even in a supposedly progressive/liberal state, the state party officials like Wyden and local media are creatures of the DNC

@Pluto's Republic

Appearing today on DK

They are excited about Ukraine finally getting 18 year olds to fight Russia. Why?

Pretty sure that the NYT has sent the N Koreans home and they were only to be said fighting in Kursk not in Ukraine.

The diarist linked to an article about this, but left out that Ukraine is doing this because of the high death toll and desertion rate. Pick just the points that make your point and not the truth.

And collected a lot of data. There is no doubt in my mind, and the in minds of a number of investigative journalists , where the funding for DK and similar online holding pens for the Left came from.

As you watch the film below, by the esteemed Ben Norton, things that you experienced in the past at DK are going to flash in your mind. Odd behaviors that you noticed there, will suddenly make sense. We just didn't know then what we were looking at.

Brace yourself.

The entire time I was at DK, I removed all of my Diaries after I posted them. By examining years of comments in these archives, I was able to see very clearly who played a part in the deflection and suppression of Leftist ideas, and how it was done. There was serious gaslighting taking place there, but no one spoke of it. Participants were conditioned to know what not to say — downvoting — crude but effective for all lab animals. I'm certain you would recognize it immediately, if you saw it. We are much more savvy 10 years later.

For me, there were surprises. Some folks that I never suspected turned out to e intelligence assets. Scripted maneuvers — back and forth — to cause misunderstanding and confusion are so obvious now. One Diary I analyzed comes to mind:

I wrote a breaking news Diary about the overthrow of Ukraine government in 2014. At that time, I happened to be immersed in Ukraine, researching a different story related to Russia. So, when overthrow erupted, I started recording the early news and commentary as ut was was happening — and published the story in a DK Diary. In out, I named names, like Vicky Neuland, who was not so well known back then. I laid out sensitive eye-witness details, like the neoNazi snipers from Poland.

Imagine my surprise when the CIA assets that gather at DK all poured in the comments section, denying that Vicky Neuland had anything to do with it. They worked , and methodically to debunk certain details in the story. I wish I could display it for you now. You would be shocked. Actually, some of you were there. In fact, Mimi popped in toward the end to sort things out.

please tell us what the ECFL is or represents.
Sounds meaty, beaty, big and bouncy.

first person I researched was Markos. I noticed immediately he was an ex-GOPuker who switched parties. Many Repukes started jumping party ships when Raygun was elected in 1980. Many RWingnut moneybags followed. So, I kept that fact in mind. Sure enough, 8 years later he started the Sanders' purge. I was and still am a regular of Liepar Destin's The Progressive Wing. We're not as big a site as you all are, but we're still around and avoid the Deep State like the Bubonic Plague. I'm a lifelong political Futurist, and a long time ECFL political activist. Sure am disgusted with living in the 21st century equivalent of the Middle Ages, especially with the worldwide climate crisis breathing down our necks. Rec'd!!
