Alex Jones and Kremlin Propaganda
By Ricardo Galván Estrada

Following the largest anti-Kremlin protests since the alleged collapse of communism, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin accused the United States of orchestrating the activities of the Russian dissident movement. In televised remarks on December 8, the former KGB colonel accused Hillary Clinton and the United States government of funding the protests and suggested that the Western powers sent a "signal" to their undercover agents to begin active measures against the country.

"They heard this signal and with the support of the U.S. State Department began their active work," said the KGB man. "The [U.S.] secretary of state was quick to evaluate the elections, saying that they are unfair and unjust, even before she received materials from the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR) observers." He went on to remind the world that Russia is a nuclear power, and he also claimed that the U.S. was "shaking" things up to show the world who is boss in world affairs.

All too quick to wave the Kremlin banner, Alex Jones' Prison Planet has released a flurry of articles supporting Putin's charges by attempting to link the protests with the alleged nefarious involvement of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). Strategically, they have begun focusing their attention on prominent Russian blogger and attorney Alexey Navalny, whom they accuse of being the prime orchestrator of the over 50,000-strong Russian street protests against fraudulent election returns. Prison Planet writers have linked him with an activist group known as Democratic Alternate (DA!), which they describe as a "[NED] fund recipient, meaning that Alexey Navalny is an agent of US-funded ѕєdιтισn and willfully hiding it from his followers."

The NED itself, according to Prison Planet writers, is run by "Neo-Conservative, corporate-fascists who have signed PNAC docuмents declaring their intentions of acheiving [sic] and maintaining a century of global hegemony." The NED, they say, receives its funding from the U.S. government and operates around the world inspiring U.S.-controlled revolutions such as the "Arab Spring." Of course, behind it all are the nefarious NWO masters, who, among other things, also used the CIA to create al-Qaeda to carry out false-flag attacks against the United States (so goes the Alex Jones thesis).

The NED, according to its website, is a private, non-profit, bipartisan foundation that provides grants to over a thousand non-government groups across the world. Their primary mission is to promote democracy and social reform in the 90 or so countries where NED grants are approved and sent. While it does receive appropriations from Congress, the NED itself purports to be privately led and highly transparent. The NED contributes to 52 different non-government humanitarian and educational groups in Russia, ranging from organizations monitoring government response in handling natural disasters to non-partisan groups dedicated to ensuring free and fair elections. The average grant amount awarded to organizations is about $54,000, with the grants ranging from lows of $20,000 to a high of about $135,000. Total contributions to independent, non-government organizations in Russia are $2,783,994. DA!, the subject of Alex Jones' ire, was not listed on the NED's 2010 annual report. Similar organizations to DA!, however, tended to receive funds within the 20K-30K range.

In comparison, deep-cover SVR agents such as Vicky Pelaez and her Russian husband (a part of the "Ghost Stories" spy ring exposed by the FBI in 2010), for example, were detected by the FBI receiving payments from their SVR controllers in excess of $80,000. Members of this spy ring were also provided funds for houses and other "expenses" needed to establish their cover, improve their careers, and infiltrate U.S. institutions in search of information, recruits, and willing contacts. These same agents were also heavily trained and educated in counterintelligence techniques, foreign languages, and in methods and skills necessary to manage their own secret projects. A review of the declassified FBI docuмents on this matter reveal that these "Illegals" were far more serious in their business than the media was able to comprehend.

Pelaez was in the same business as Alex Jones; she was an investigative reporter and editor of a far-left Spanish newspaper in the United States. She trafficked in extreme pro-communist propaganda, often accusing the United States of pursuing an imperialist policy and instigating terrorism in South America and across the world. Every act of terrorism committed by FARC or other leftist guerrillas was interpreted by Pelaez as a reaction to the brutal imperialism imposed on those countries by the United States. A review of her available written works shows that her opinions on U.S. foreign policy are extraordinarily similar in content and language to the collective works of Alex Jones and his employees. Interestingly, Pelaez, who now works for The Moscow News, is also supporting Putin and accusing the United States of manipulating the Russian public.

Compared to the United States, Russian propaganda agents are far better compensated than their U.S. counterparts. Not only do we keep records of how much each front organization receives in grants, but such grants are given to groups of people who must split their CIA money, averaging 54K, amongst each neo-con, corporate fascist conspirator.

The difference between alleged and actual "active measures" and provocateurs is profound, especially in Russia, where disinformation was brought to the level of an art form under the KGB and Communist party. The Soviet System, despite its alleged demise, is still alive and well in Russia, where journalists and dissidents conveniently commit ѕυιcιdє from time to time and old lies are exchanged for new ones as the body of the country falls farther into mediocrity and decay. Russia Today, the Kremlin-controlled news organization, often features Alex Jones and other such malcontents in its daily programming. If we were to use Prison Planet standards, this by itself would be sufficient evidence of Russian infiltration of their organization.

We must consider the benefits our friends in the Kremlin receive from the promotion of Alex Jones-type conspiracy theories. The creation of a Faux Right-Wing movement can help Russian/Chinese goals in many ways. It can spread communist propaganda while at the same time fronting itself as anti-communist; it can train individuals to be reflexively anti-American throughout every tragedy, constantly ready and willing to blame the American government for everything that goes wrong; it further ideologically disarms the United States, making it unable to resist Russian/Chinese objectives; and, best of all, it further spreads a climate of fear, envy, hate, and distrust in a country already torn apart between "left" and "right." It is high time we pointed a spotlight on the real provocateurs and propagandists in this country.

Apparently others have noticed this trait in Alex Jones as well.

Right Wing Bolshevism Part 2

By J.R. Nyquist

Last September, in the Web magazine AlternativeRight.com, Nina Kouprianova wrote an intriguing article titled Who's Afraid of Russia Today? As an "alternative right" spokeswoman, Ms. Kouprianova thinks Russia's 24/7 English-language news channel (Russia Today) provides encouragement for "the burgeoning Patriot movement" here in America. And what encouragement, indeed! In fact, the Southern Poverty Law Center is going after the Russian channel on account of its support for Right Wing extremists.

Given the Leftist taint of the Southern Poverty Law Center, what are we to think? Has Russia Today been unfairly maligned? According to an explanatory article on the SPLC Website, "the Kremlin-financed television channel has devoted considerable airtime not only to coverage that makes Russia look good, but to coverage that makes the United States look bad." Of course, nobody should be surprised at this, given the Kremlin's longstanding rivalry with the United States. What is interesting, however, is the new approach of Moscow's anti-American rhetoric - from the Right. According to the SPLC Website, "Over the past year and a half, Russia Today has reported with boosterish zeal on conspiracy theories popular in the resurgent 'Patriot' movement.... Its slickly packaged stories suggest that a legitimate debate is under way in the United States about who perpetrated the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and about President Obama's eligibility for high office."

It appears that Moscow's TV channel is suggesting (however indirectly) that the U.S. Government was behind the 9/11 attacks; - and would also like to see a constitutional crisis over President Obama's birth certificate. The Kremlin has long sought to demoralize and cripple their "main enemy" by every means at its disposal. Saying bad things about the capitalist system is Moscow's stock and trade. For those who understand the game, it is hardly necessary to point out that the entire 9/11 Truther movement, in point of fact, is a tapestry of useful idiots and agents of influence whose activities may be characterized by that eminent pioneer of Right Wing Bolshevism, Lyndon LaRouche, who began his career as a member of the Socialist Worker's Party teaching dialectical materialism at New York City's Free School, and later founded a Right Wing Marxist Party (the United States Labor Party). His frequent meetings with Soviet representatives over the years did not end with the Soviet Union. He has continued to meet with Russian "representatives," with occasional trips to Moscow.

There is a picture, easily accessible on the Web, of long-time LaRouche associate Webster Tarpley sitting next to Russian Gen. Leonid Ivashov during the 2005 Axis for Peace Conference in Brussels. Ivashov, who served as the Chief of Staff of the Russian armed forces on Sept. 11, 2001, stated at the conference: "The organizers of those [9/11] attacks were the political and business circles interested in destabilizing the world order and who had the means necessary to finance the operation." The Russian general further argued, "We have to look for the reasons of the attacks in the coincidence of interests of big capital at global and transnational levels...."

Well of course, the evil capitalists were behind it all. Such are the talking points of every Bolshevik, at all times, without the need for direct instructions from on high. This "truth," in one form or another, is constantly being packaged and passed along to the useful idiots, tools, and agents of influence who spread the infection throughout society. And make no mistake; the anti-capitalist infection has taken root, as anyone can see. Russia Today is no minor broadcast outlet. As the SPLC points out, "the Moscow-headquartered Russia Today has a large global audience tuning in via cable, satellite and the Internet. In North America, Europe and South Africa, some 200 million paying viewers - including a growing number in the United States - have access to the network."

It is worth noting that Russia Today has produced segments with the notorious 9/11 Truther Alex Jones, who once said to Webster Tarpley (on air), "Our information is everywhere." And that is how Kremlin disinformation works. It is not a function of quality, but quantity; and Jones has been the perfect mouth-piece. Inciting his radio listeners against finance capital in the language of a revolutionary agitator, Jones says "9/11 was an inside job" and that the United States has become a "deep tyranny." A close observer of the Jones phenomenon, Cliff Kincaid (of USA Survival News), has said, "Jones has much more in common with the Left than the Right." Kincaid noted that Jones is a fan and friend of Lyndon LaRouche, and furthermore: "Why is he on Russian television defending their foreign policy? Why has MSNBC called this man a member of the 'New Right'?"

In the tangled web of today's politics, where economic sabotage has its parallels in ideological sabotage, you must always look for the hidden connections and telltale signs that agents of influence are at work. The most sophisticated disinformation machine in the world has been the KGB and its successor organization (FSB/SVR). Nina Kouprianova, in her Alternative Right article, wants us to laugh at the idea of Russian agents of influence - as if the history of the last several decades never happened. Russia Today, she says, "is not much different than the BBC.... Furthermore, the idea that private ownership of massive media conglomerates somehow guarantees objectivity is simply utopian - to state the painfully obvious."

But that's not really the point, Ms. Kouprianova. The BBC is not the mouth-piece of a murderous dictator at the head of a police state. For that matter, a private media corporation like ABC or Fox News is not the state, however slanted their presentations may be. There is an important difference between a private corporation and the state. Private corporations cannot send millions to death camps, or build a system of collective farms on a foundation of genocide, or threaten half the world with nuclear annihilation. No, Ms. Kouprianova, as Friedrich Nietzsche once said, the state is "the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly it lies, too; and this lie creeps from its mouth: 'I, the state, am the people.'" But the state, more than anything, is not the people. If it has broken its bounds, usurping the private sphere, it is a destroyer of peoples. Whatever the state says, warned Nietzsche, "it lies - and whatever it has, it has stolen. " There should be no room in the heart of the true Right (alternative or otherwise) for state control of any television channels. The state should remove its paws from the economy and from the media; that is, if the people are to remain free.

Furthermore, American "patriots" should not serve as apologists for the Kremlin's English-speaking propaganda tentacle. Those who attack America and its institutions, favoring the institutions of a foreign enemy, do not merely insult our intelligence but undermine the integrity of public discourse. A random lie may be harmless when there is no guiding strategy behind it; but a coordinated campaign of lies, begun by secret agents, perpetuated by dupes, is no child's play. The game threatens our national unity, our prosperity, the viability of our internal order. But then, how else would a foreign enemy provoke cινιℓ ωαr in America?

I agree that Alex Jones is false opposition, but I think it's very silly to suggest that he's a Russian plant when he's owned by American Jєωs.

Take note of how these two articles try to associate 911 Truthers with Commie plants and terror cells.

These two reek of false opposition.

And it is very likely that those protests in Russia are being provoked by our agents. These writers simply don't give them the proper credit.

I'd be interested to know how big is the market for survivalism products and how much money he gets from his sponsors and products sells across all platforms. If he makes a honest living out of scaring people, it seems that it might be enough of a motivation for him to do what he does and there is no need to look any further.

The above is what motivates that fat fool Jones. We agree. Heh!

I agree with you Catholic Samurai, I really don't believe Jones is a communist plant. I think he's just an opportunist who'll do anything to get his face plastered all over the media and to make a buck.

As for the situation in Russia, there is definitely a strong undercurrent of discontent toward Putin. Whether the US is helping to fuel this I can't say.

Here's another rather long article questioning Jones' motives regarding Moscow. Whether he's a commie plant or not, he's sure adept at spouting KGB disinformation.

This report also raises important points about 9/11. Any sane person would logically conclude that the American government was not in any way responsible for the attack. One thing this article doesn't mention is that if the Twin Towers had been pre-wired with explosives as some allege, why go to the trouble staging such an elaborate hoax of having airplanes crash into the buildings? Why not just blow them up?

Quote

On another level, if we are to believe the 9/11 Truth movement, the Bush Administration put the plot together -- or finalized it -- in a short period of time, only eight months, after Bush took office in January 2001. Then, after 9/11, an elaborate cover-up was engineered, with the connivance of top Bush officials, in order to keep the public in the dark.

Which raises the question: if U.S. officials
orchestrated 9/11, in order to go to war in the Middle East, why couldn't these same officials have planted weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in order to justify the overthrow of the Saddam Hussein regime?

More KGB disinformation.
