America First Committee

The #AmericaFirst Committee (AFC) was the foremost United States isolationist pressure group against American entry into World War II.

...

however, it was controversial for the anti-Semitic and pro-fascist views of some of its most prominent speakers, leaders, and members.

Trump has therefore deliberately focussed his #campaign on America First. This should make it clear to everyone where the #future will lead if he is elected. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Below some comments to the #TIME article about the 'Führerbunker-Stage of Zelensky's Conflict'

What #Russia did was carry out an absolutely simple and pedantic textbook reorientation of forces with a clear logic. In fact, that moment should have been an extremely chilling maneuver for #Ukraine. It should have signaled: “Uh oh…this means Russia is taking its gloves off.” The initial thunder-run on Kiev was merely a brazen attempt to avoid bloodshed and see if the conflict could be ended fast and early. But not having worked, Russian military planners clearly knew that now the entire operation had to be shifted into actual war footing, rather than mere enhanced special operations raid.

Everything changed from that point on. #Pro-Ukrainians should have keyed in on this and realized the heavyweight is now removing his gloves. But instead, what they did was run with the #propaganda that Russia is a defeated, cowardly, inept, and completely helpless paper tiger. This propaganda “worked” incredibly well, too well—but the problem is, it worked on the wrong side.

Instead of convincing Russians of it, it convinced the Ukrainians and Western public that the war had already been won, that Russia could never recover from this brutal “loss” (which was not a loss in the slightest but a strategic maneuver and concentration of forces). Since then, no one in Ukrainian society thought to take the war seriously anymore and Ukraine’s own “rear” end had dropped out, while Russia’s rear in fact throttled up into overdrive, in terms of the galvanization of society to supporting the troops and military machine top to bottom.

Now, the most aware pro-Ukrainian pundits are desperately trying to steer their flock back to rational thinking—but it’s too late.

In fact, this will be studied for generations as an example of a massive propaganda fail—a propaganda #campaign which destroyed its own side by way of inadequate attenuation and nuanced micromanagement of perceptions. They instead did a brute force #method of #flooding every which way without concerning themselves with who the propaganda was actually negatively affecting.

Are The Trump Indictments Backfiring Against Biden?

To many observers it’s apparent that the multipronged #legal assault on Donald Trump, which now involves four separate indictments, is intended to derail his presidential #campaign and prevent him from taking back the Oval Office in 2024. Yet with such a transparent ulterior motive, the Biden administration and the Justice Department may be handing Trump just the tool he needs to wield to defeat Biden next November.

#Facebook paid #GOP firm to malign #TikTok

source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/facebook-tiktok-targeted-victory/

The #campaign includes placing op-eds and letters to the editor in major regional news outlets, promoting dubious stories about alleged TikTok trends that actually originated on Facebook, and pushing to draw political reporters and local politicians into helping take down its biggest competitor. These bare-knuckle tactics, long commonplace in the world of politics, have become increasingly noticeable within a tech #industry where companies vie for cultural relevance and come at a time when Facebook is under pressure to win back young users.
