Прохиндеи и мозгоебы

[tijd]

Мир трампизма обладает способностью привлекать разного рода проходимцев. Характерный пример - молодая девушка по имени Christianné Allen, которая внезапно оказалась пресс-секретарем у Руди Джулиани. Про ее похождения - длинное расследование в Politico.

For the past three months, Trumpworld has been both abuzz and baffled by Christianné Allen, a little-known Instagram personality who became Rudy Giuliani’s director of communications in September. She accompanies him wherever he goes, recently appearing by his side in Ukraine, where he’s working on a documentary defending himself against accusations that he ran a malicious campaign to get a U.S. ambassador fired. She’s his media strategist, technology consultant and the employee who helps field reporters’ daily onslaught of inquiries - or, at least, tries to do so. <...>
Allen’s Twitter bio, LinkedIn, and old personal website list an array of suitable credentials: representative of the Trump Victory Finance Committee, the official joint fundraising committee for the re-election campaign; and video columnist for the Daily Caller. Spokeswoman for Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Executive director of the Middle Eastern Women’s Coalition.
According to representatives of these entities, these titles are embroidered at best, and completely untrue at the most. She is, however, an “ambassador” for both Turning Point USA and Liberty University’s Falkirk Center, titles she gained this year. And there’s no question she enjoys Giuliani’s confidence.

Интересно упоминание в качестве "крестной матери" Аллен прохиндейки постарше британского происхождения, Элис Батлер-Шорт из организации Virginia Women for Trump.

Экстравагантность "Virginia Women for Trump" трудно переплюнуть.

Two speakers credited Trump with saving their lives; one woman said a letter from Trump revived her on her deathbed, while another said she was considering suicide when she saw him appear on television.
Another speaker, Lucretia Hughes, recalled seeing as a child a “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” episode on TV that showed a solid-gold toilet in the Trump home.
“I’m going to sit at your toilet someday,” she thought at the time. Hughes finished her remarks by leading the crowd in a chant of “God! Family! Country! Trump!”

Упомянутая Lucretia Hughes, с мечтой посидеть на золотом унитазе Трампа, дождалась в конце концов высочайшего ретвита.

HOLY CRAP!!! President Trump just RETWEETED me!!! https://t.co/NYzqGkLJas

Ретвит пришел по пути от ныне забаненного юзера "MAGA Michelle" из культа QAnon,

The account Trump just quote tweeted is not only a QAnon account, but the same QAnon account that played a crucial role in spreading a false claim about E. Jean Carroll in June that eventually reached Trump Jr. https://t.co/Wg7MVyv2ur pic.twitter.com/DdRJGsZI6J

В виртуальном болоте MAGA водится много разных существ. Что касается реальной жизни, то в окружении Руди Джулиани помимо малолетней Christianné Allen - малолетняя Audra LaRay.



When I last saw Rudy Giuliani for lunch, at the Trump International Hotel in Washington four weeks ago, his most pressing concern was that he had been locked out of his Instagram account. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City and current personal attorney to President Donald Trump, had a young woman named Audra, who told me she had won the “hottiesfortrump” Reddit channel’s “Miss Deplorable” contest three years in a row, there to assist him.

Одра происходит из Флоридского городка Бока Ратон, где снималась в календаре "Boca Babes".



Бока Ратон - настоящая Мекка для жуликов и проходимцев, включая Льва Парнаса.

Несмотря на то, что городок в демократическом округе, там любят собираться республиканцы.



Что же касается малолеток, то стоит запахнуть Джефри Эпштейном, как сразу возникает адвокат Алан Дершовиц.

1. He has never disproved these allegations as he claims and 2. There are two women who have accused him. Not just Virginia. 3. He won’t release the “evidence” he claims he has. https://t.co/5uG4OUlaQY via @nypost

Some Democrats pursuing the impeachment of President Trump are trying their hardest to pin an impeachable crime on the commander-in-chief, according to law Professor Alan Dershowitz.

Особой разновидностью проходимца служат люди, которые наживаются на распространении теорий заговора. Классический пример - Алекс Джонс, но есть и рыбы помельче. Сет Хеттена расследует конспиролога из Теннесси по имени David Booth, который пишет под загадочным псевдонимом Sorcha Faal на сайте WHat Does It Mean. Хеттена пытался понять, откуда в конспирологическом креативе этого автора так много пропутинского материала, но потом пришел к выводу, что тот просто пытается нажиться на легковерных клиентах.

In a handful of cases, it’s possible to trace some of the most destructive theories back to their source. Take, for example, the conspiracy theory that DNC staffer Seth Rich was killed in 2016 by a “hit team”; or the campaign seeking to tar Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Justice Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in high school, as deeply tied to the CIA; or the report that the bones of children were found on Jeffrey Epstein’s island-all these myths lead back to one person. In each of these cases, we can confidently trace the confabulation in question to a man named David Lawrence Booth.
A 64-year-old retired chemical plant control-room operator, Booth is one of the world’s foremost purveyors of conspiracies and fake news. Writing under the nom de plume of Sorcha Faal on his website What Does It Mean, Booth and his wife have spent the past 15 years cooking up fabricated tales of impending war, government cover-ups, looming financial collapse, alien arrivals, Satanic acts, earthquake weapons, man-made hurricanes, global apocalypse, and “deep state” machinations of all descriptions. On his website, Booth has falsely suggested that he is an officer in the Mossad or the CIA. The truth about his life is equally fascinating-Booth happens to have been the youngest person ever to attempt to hijack a plane in the U.S.-and an examination of his past, with its links to both Russia and Russian disinformation campaigns, opens a rare window into how and why someone can be drawn into the world of conspiracies. <...>
The site’s content has followed the same basic pattern for most of the past 15 years: A “chilling,” “astounding and frankly terrifying,” or “heart-stopping” new report out of a Kremlin ministry or a Russian intelligence agency has revealed some frightening bombshell or some new orders issued by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Booth’s obsession with Russia has perplexed members of his family. When Justin asked him once what it was all about, his father told him, “I can’t talk about it.”

What time is the next rumorblower report? https://t.co/rSgU8YsBUy

Хеттена также пытался расследовать сайт Zero Hedge, но там более мутная история.

It runs stories that hew the Kremlin line, such as how the poisoning of a double agent in England was staged by British intelligence operation or how the Steele Dossier was created by Internet trolls. Throw in commentary from a self-described “Kremlin troll” and writings from Russia Insider (which the Trump State Department describes as “an English-language publication linked to pro-[Russian] government oligarchs”) and you see how many think Zero Hedge is some kind of Russian disinformation operation.
Despite its pro-Russia leanings, or perhaps because of them, Zero Hedge a critical part of the right-wing conspiracy ecosystem. This became clear when Facebook temporarily blocked Zero Hedge in March, prompting howls of outrage from people in President Trump’s circle like his son, Don Jr., Nigel Farage, and Katie Hopkins. (The ban was lifted, and Facebook told Breibart that it was the result of a “mistake with our automation to detect spam.”)

В середине 1970ых, на фоне падения доверия к федеральному правительству и спецлужбам после Вьетнама и Уотергейта, сочинение теорий заговора стало невинным развлечением деятелей контркультуры, придумавших спецоперацию "Mindfuck".

Operation Mindfuck was a free-form art project-cum-prank-cum-political protest of the sixties and seventies, designed to sow the culture with paranoia. The key figures behind it were Kerry Thornley, co-founder of a satiric religion called Discordianism, and Robert Anton Wilson, a Discordian staffer at Playboy. Through every means available, Wilson explained in a memo laying out the plan, the Mindfuckers intended to “attribute all national calamities, assassinations, or conspiracies” to the Illuminati and other hidden hands.
So they planted stories about the Illuminati in the underground press. They slipped mysterious classified ads into the libertarian journal Innovator and the New Left newspaper rogerSPARK. They cooked up a letter about the Illuminati that Wilson then ran in “The Playboy Advisor.” When a New Orleans jury refused to convict one of the men who the conspiracy-hunting district attorney Jim Garrison blamed for the JFK killing, Garrison’s booster Art Kunkin, of the Los Angeles Free Press, got a note revealing that the jurors were all Illuminati initiates. The telltale sign: None of them had a left nipple.
