The Russians directed their U. S. employees to emphasize the following “campaign topics”: “Encroaching universal poverty. Record inflation. Halting of economic growth. Unaffordable prices for food and essential goods”; “Risk of job loss for white Americans”; “Privileges for people of color, perverts, and disabled”; “Constant lies of the [Democratic] administration about the real situation in the country”; “Threat of crime coming from people of color and immigrants”; “Overspending on foreign policy and at the interests of white US citizens”; “Constant lies to the voters by [Democrats] in power.”

The target audience of the campaign was “[Republican] voters,” [Trump] supporters, “Supporters of traditional family values,” and “White Americans, representing the lower-middle and middle class.” The focus was in particular on “[r]esidents of "swing states whose voting results impact the outcomes of the elections more than other states.

This information came out Wednesday when the Departments of Justice, State, and the Treasury announced sanctions against 10 individuals and 2 entities, and criminal charges against two employees of RT, a Russian state-controlled media outlet, who allegedly funded a company in the U. S. to hire right-wing social media influencers to push Russian propaganda before the 2024 election.

The company the Russians funded appears to be Tenet Media, a company registered by Liam Donovan and Lauren Tam, who is associated with The Blaze and Turning Point USA, as well as RT. The two appear to be married. The indictment alleges that the company’s two founders knew they were working for the Russians, but suggests the six commentators—Lauren Southern, Tim Pool, Tayler Hansen, Matt Christiansen, Dave Rubin, and Benny Johnson, all staunch Trump supporters—did not know where their massive paychecks originated. After the story broke, five of the commentators denied any knowledge of the source of the company’s funding.

Note: I'm really curious about what the youngsters here will say in this scenario, as we, elders, already knew the pre internet era, its easier for us to imagine.

Now here is what will happen, briefly, dont read if you want to imagine the consequences yourself, spoilers:

Your desktop is now an offline station
Your smartphone becomes dumbphone again!

no more wikipedia, there's a library
no more social medias, silence!
no more wetflix, buy DVDs
no more gps, paper maps
no more online shopping, move your butt
no more uber, go to the restaurant
no more online dating, sorry introverts
no more MMOs, play solo
no more Hub, erotic magazines ew
no more...

Why this situation you ask? Maybe because resources would not anymore be as abundant as they were, maybe because heating up all those servers and scripts and AIs 24/7... you know, that's a hell of a lot of energy for such trivial uses! For the sake of pseudo-realism, let's say that a part of the world still operates with internet, maybe banks and govs? But not you, not the general public ! You are back to pre-internet, the 1980's, but better haircuts, and goth crocs !

We've all seen or soon will the latest questionable shooting death of a black person. Which raises to the head again... what should "black people" do when faced with an issue of police involvement?

One approach is to have alternate 911... which routes call to "Black designated" resources which are oncall, paid or volunteer... like volunteer ems, to handle their issues. These could be people voted on within such community... pastors, social workers, police... but trusted by them to handle domestic issues and other lower grade issues.

Granted... any situation can be dangerous. They have all the rights of citizens, but the trust of the community at large.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN ADDED COST, but may need your support to route calls and training. Very low cost.

Goal is to provide alternate for those whom fear police.

Non black people still have right to contact police at any time... as do black people.
