@Suig This #BlueAnon conspiracy theory, #ManufacturingConsent of Democrats for a new Cold War with Russia, really needs to be put to rest. Please take onboard the reporting of Aaron Maté:

**New Studies Show Pundits Are Wrong About Russian Social-Media Involvement in US Politics**

**"**Far from being a sophisticated propaganda campaign, it was small, amateurish, and mostly unrelated to the 2016 election."

@theothersimo @dougiec3 Mother Jones, who leaded the Steele Dossier to begin with?

The argument they're making is because #Durham quoted US intelligence's spying on Russian intelligence, it's Russian disinformation.

While I understand that one of the appeals of claims of Russian disinformation to #BlueAnon is it's never falsifiable (a mark of all conspiracy theories), it makes no sense.

It doesn't need to, though. The point is just to reassure the faithful, with weasel words like "may".

@theothersimo @dougiec3 and your proof that it's "Russian disinformation" is what, exactly?

That the US - who lied about WMDs in Iraq, NordSteam, and a hundred other things, said so?

That you repeated rumors as facts, and Durham didn't agree with you?

It's been 6 years, and your #BlueAnon conspiracy theory has yet to produce ANY facts.

@theothersimo @dougiec3 you change your stories pretty frequently. Now it's in the dossier - the same one you said was true aside from Carter Page.

Seems you don't actually know what you're talking about - or, per your earlier statements, are just fine with lying when it suits your needs. #BlueAnon

@skua @apokrif @Cryptome

I didn't know that anyone still read emptywheel after she disgraced herself with her ridiculous, feverish, and discredited RussiaGate conspiracy theory (and after she ratted out a source to the FBI!)

#BlueAnon

It's weird how much political discourse from this week centers on things that are just completely made up. For example:

> Queer and trans youth plan march in the streets in 49 states amid anti-LGBTQ attacks

There have been zero anti #LGBT attacks this week. No news of any examples of trans or other non-cisgender, non-heterosexual people getting attacked. Why then do we have headlines claiming that such attacks are happening? This is a pure conspiracy theory. I guess #blueanon is a thing after all.

The #MSM is lying to you.

The Columbia Journalism Review has published a comprehensive review of the billionaire-owned media (NY Times, Washington Post, et al) promotion of the "Russia Gate" conspiracy theory.

"But outside of the *Times*’ own bubble, the damage to the credibility of the *Times* and its peers persists, three years on"

We're running out of room visually for multi decade #russiagate #blueanon conspiracy memes... What format should these memes take going forward?
My guess is that we'll have to support at least 70 years...

Rob Reiner's Twitter account has officially turned into a hilarious #BlueAnon monument.
What if it's not a #bot?

@MaryMRedoutey @alfredo_liberal oh, the same one that failed to find collusion?

Sorry Daddy Mueller didn't make 2016 go away like you dreamed, but living in a conspiracy theory is a bad look, #BlueAnon

@MaryMRedoutey @alfredo_liberal why are you bringing up articles from 2018?

Oh, right, because almost all those allegations didn't pan out.

#BlueAnon for sure.

@MaryMRedoutey @alfredo_liberal so its quite clear the Russians did not in fact change a US election with 100K worth of bad ads. For one thing, they were almost exclusively delivered to people already committed to voting GOP. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-35576-9#MOESM1

If the Russians were that good at changing elections, they'd be working for the DNC or RNC.

This is just #BlueAnon conspiracy mongering to avoid recognizing the losses the center willingly caused.

This is a huge democratic influencer and #BlueAnon

#Twitter is still up and running fine.

Bad news for the #blueanon hall monitors, guess the headcanon is just that--headcanon.

Well my back hurts enough that I have to blue pill myself. #blueanon #blm #shoutyourabortion #notmypresident

Facebook has been spying on the private messages and data of American users and reporting them to the FBI if they express anti-government or anti-authority sentiments — or question the 2020 election.

It's unclear if they spied on Hillary Clinton and all of #BlueAnon after they said the 2016 election was stolen.

@icare4america I mean #BlueAnon is a conspiracy theory

I show my coworker, our new GM, the CDC numbers with the influenza deaths and he says that it makes sense because Flu is also corona virus. He also believes that actually 900k people died and believes John Hopkins & other universities. Moving the goalposts. I kinda gasped at him downplaying Covid as if it was the flu. This is a fun game to play. Also yay I'm not pregnant! I think.
