| Let's talk about the DOJ indictment that was just handed down as part of what the DOJ claims is a Russian... | |
| Yeah, this sounds exactly like the 2016 election, Russia, Russia, Russia, where they made up all this nonsense, accusations against Trump, claiming he was run by Russia. | |
| This really smacks of that. | |
| But here are the facts of their indictment, which I read in detail. | |
| They're indicting, apparently, two Russian nationals that, if I understand it correctly, have some kind of links to RT. And according to the DOJ, these Russian nationals, they hid their identities and they took on the names of other people who were not Russian. | |
| And they made fake resumes and fake contacts and everything. | |
| And then using that... | |
| They reached out to this company in Tennessee, which appears to be the tenant media company that handles a lot of outspoken, trending conservative content creators, content influencers like Tim Pool, most notably, and Lauren Southern, and some other prominent people as well. | |
| Apparently, There's a woman named Chen who is part of the Tenet Media Company. | |
| I don't know who she is. I think she and her husband run it together. | |
| I mean, that's my best guess. | |
| Again, I'm going off of the DOJ's indictment, which didn't fully paint the whole picture. | |
| So, you know, innocent until proven guilty, folks. | |
| By the way, this whole thing looks like a political hit job. | |
| Looks like a setup to me. | |
| Just in time for election season to claim that, oh, the Russians are buying off influencers in the U.S. But anyway, the DOJ indictment apparently indicts these two Russian nationals who, again, impersonated other people and tricked the Tenet Media Company in Tennessee into thinking that Tenet was being paid to produce content and And apparently they received up to or close to $10 million over time to produce content and to distribute this content on YouTube and a lot of other places. | |
| This content was also distributed on TikTok and some other platforms. | |
| I don't know all the platforms. It's basically all the platforms where I'm banned. | |
| It's where the content got distributed. | |
| So anyway, the allegation of the DOJ is that, aha, this is a Russian influence operation. | |
| These Russians paid off this U.S. media company to produce this content. | |
| Now, as far as I can tell, the content, it wasn't like pro-Kremlin content at all. | |
| It was just content mostly about America, talking about You know, probably transgenderism and the open borders and, you know, inflation and some of the content was about Ukraine versus Russia. | |
| But, you know, there's plenty of room for criticism over there with NATO's problems. | |
| I mean, I've been very critical of NATO and what's going on there, you know. | |
| Doesn't mean I'm pro-Putin or anything. | |
| I'm just saying, hey, you know, we've been lied to about a lot of things. | |
| Anyway... So this company, apparently Tenet, it's not named in the DOJ indictment, but it's pretty certain that it's Tenet. | |
| And Tim Pool already put out an announcement in defense. | |
| He says, if indeed these allegations are true, then we are the victims, he says, that we were tricked. | |
| We were deceived by whoever these two indicted people are. | |
| They tricked us into thinking that they were somebody else. | |
| And that appears to be, you know, the case. | |
| I think Tim Pool is absolutely correct in that. | |
| The DOJ claims that they got a hold of a contract between Tenet and these Russian nationals who, again, pretended not to be Russian. | |
| But this contract apparently, according to the DOJ indictment, offers content in exchange for money. | |
| Well... That's not an unusual arrangement for some company to be hired to create content. | |
| I mean, that's what movie studios do. | |
| You know, a studio, well, they hire directors and actors to produce content, to produce a movie. | |
| Podcasters are paid all the time, mostly by sponsors. | |
| I mean, I have sponsors for my podcasts. | |
| Of course, I'm very open about who they are. | |
| Like, here's the satellite phone company, or here's a sponsor, maybe our own store, or maybe a gold retailer or somebody. | |
| I'm always very open about who the sponsors are. | |
| And by the way, there's no foreign money coming to me to tell me what to say. | |
| But I think even the tenant company, I don't think that they... | |
| It doesn't look like that this foreign money controlled what they said. | |
| It looks like it was just, hey, we'll pay you to produce content that's popular. | |
| And that's what they did. | |
| And as Tim Pool said in his statement, like, nobody had approval over his content other than him. | |
| I mean, he decided what to say. | |
| He decided what guests to have on and so on. | |
| So I agree with Tim Poole that if indeed, if Tenet is the company that's involved in this DOJ indictment, but Tenet wasn't indicted, just to be clear, and Tim Poole wasn't indicted, but if that's the company, Tim Poole's completely innocent. | |
| Lawrence Southern, totally innocent. | |
| I think Benny Johnson, innocent. | |
| I think there's another man, is it Dave Rubin? | |
| Innocent. These people... | |
| They had no knowledge. | |
| Even if they took money to produce content, they had no knowledge that it was Russians because the Russians intentionally deceived everybody by changing their identities and trying to trick people. | |
| If it's not actually Russians, we have to consider this scenario. | |
| Was this some kind of a deep state operation? | |
| Was it MI5 pretending to be people pretending to be Russians? | |
| Was it CIA pretending to be people pretending to be Russians so that they could announce this right before the election and claim Russian influence over conservative influencers? | |
| The timing is highly suspicious to me. | |
| And what the left-wing media is doing with this is so predictable. | |
| It's just like 2016. | |
| It's just like the whole first term of the Trump administration, which we all know turned out to be a total hoax. | |
| So I would not be surprised if this was actually a deep state honeypot trap. | |
| And by honeypot trap, what I mean is, you know, a lot of people who are, let's say, YouTubers, if somebody comes to them and says... | |
| We'll give you $10,000 an episode to produce episodes. | |
| You know, an hour each. | |
| Ten grand. And you can choose the topic. | |
| You don't have to do what we... | |
| Just make sure it's, you know, controversial and, you know, click-baity or whatever. | |
| Just make sure it's going to get a lot of eyeballs. | |
| That's all. Just make sure it's controversial. | |
| Most people would take that money. | |
| Most people would take that money. | |
| You know I wouldn't take that money, and I don't. | |
| Nobody pays me to produce anything. | |
| I mean, we're supported by you, our viewers, or our sponsors, both, or our store sales. | |
| Given how difficult our economy is, and, you know, inflation, food inflation, skyrocketing prices of insurance and everything, a lot of people are in a lot of financial hardship. | |
| And if somebody approaches them and says, you know, here's 10 grand, or 50 grand, or in some cases, some of these influencers can earn, you know, a couple hundred thousand dollars an episode. | |
| I mean, you tell me, wouldn't most people... | |
| In the world, take 50 grand per episode and maybe not ask very many questions about where that money came from. | |
| You know, as long as it wasn't... | |
| Some obvious, like, we are Russians, you must make Russian content, you know, we are going to pay you to spread the disinformation across America. | |
| Now, like, if that was said, then, yeah, you should have the sense to say, no way, man, that's crazy, I'm not going to do that. | |
| But if it's money that, let's say, came from the United Arab Emirates, which I think is one of the personalities that was created by these front people, or if it came from, you know, Italy, or if it came from, I don't know, some European country, or Canada. | |
| I mean, most people would just cash the check, create the content, most people, and say, wow, that's awesome. | |
| That was the easiest money I ever made. | |
| And if they could do that daily... | |
| You know, most people would do that. | |
| And then if it later turned out, oh, guess what? | |
| That money actually came from Russia. | |
| You know, a lot of these people were like, whoa, holy cow, I had no idea. | |
| Which is the truth. So to me, this is what this whole thing looks like. | |
| It looks like a honeypot trap. | |
| And it reminds me to maybe just offer some advice. | |
| And this is the advice I live by, too. | |
| If something is too good to be true, and if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. | |
| There's probably something wrong with that picture. | |
| If somebody's walking up to you and offering to write big fat checks without you, you know, earning it or reciprocating in some reasonable way, you may want to watch out. | |
| It could be a trap. | |
| It could be I don't know. | |
| I mean, it could be entrapment. | |
| It could be the FBI trying to entrap you and make it look like you've taken money from, you know, the drug cartels or whoever. | |
| You know, it turns out the money was laundered from a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy who had a cousin who once smoked pot. | |
| You know, it's like, what? | |
| And the indictment comes down. | |
| You're like, I don't even know these guys. | |
| But this is how entrapment works. | |
| They entrap you. | |
| They entice you. And you have to be willing to say no. | |
| You have to be willing to walk away from something that looks too good to be true. | |
| Easy money is very often a trap. | |
| Now, if you work your tail off and you earn sponsorship money, As we do, well, yeah, that's legit. | |
| I mean, you're not going to make a fortune, you're not going to get rich, and you're not going to retire on the sponsorship money. | |
| If you're lucky, it might cover some of your production costs or some of your bandwidth costs. | |
| And that's normal. | |
| It's normal for people in media to be broke, actually. | |
| How many people do you know who are publishing articles or doing videos? | |
| They're not doing well financially. | |
| That's actually very common. | |
| So just watch out for... | |
| Watch out for money that's too easy. | |
| Watch out for traps, honeypot operations, entrapment situations. | |
| Watch out. So as far as our own operations go, I put out a detailed tweet about this just to be clear, just to be on the record. | |
| Let me explain it here. | |
| If anybody's wondering, no. | |
| Nobody pays us. | |
| We don't have any hidden money coming in to produce content. | |
| We have sponsors that we disclose, and you'll hear me mention, oh, you know, this is a sponsor, this is an affiliate. | |
| Or on my website, rangerdeals.com, we have each one of those companies. | |
| There's a logo there that indicates, is it a sponsor? | |
| Is it an affiliate? | |
| Do we get paid a percentage or not? | |
| Or do they donate products to us as a result of us spreading publicity about their company? | |
| Because a lot of those companies, we don't have any kind of sponsorship arrangement. | |
| I just help promote them, and then they will donate products to us. | |
| And then typically, I donate those products to local churches and ministries. | |
| I've already done that. I mean, I've already got letters on file from the places that we donate to. | |
| So... A lot of what I do is actually trying to get resources into the local community, into other churches and other ministries, and just to help the local community to be more resilient in case of emergencies, things like that. | |
| But anyway, that just means nothing wrong with people taking money honestly, transparently, earning a profit, There's nothing wrong with that. | |
| Entrepreneurs deserve to be rewarded for their success if they've earned it. | |
| And I'm not opposed to that on the commercial side. | |
| I'm just saying that a lot of what we do is non-commercial in essence, and we have a non-profit organization for that purpose. | |
| But whatever the case may be, the most important thing is that content producers should be honest and open and transparent with their audiences. | |
| About, you know, is anybody paying for this show? | |
| Is there a sponsor? Is this an affiliate? | |
| Is it completely unrelated? | |
| You know, those questions should be answered up front. | |
| And as long as you do that, it's all good. | |
| And so, look, bottom line, Tenet Media, I'm pretty sure they're the company that's sort of implied in the DOJ indictment. | |
| Tenet Media looks to me to be completely innocent in this, from what I can see so far. | |
| It doesn't look like they had any idea that these people were related to Russians at all. | |
| It looks like they were just taking money to produce content of their own choosing. | |
| And that is incredibly common in podcasting. | |
| I mean, radio shows. I mean, Rush Limbaugh gets paid to produce radio shows. | |
| Left-wing radio personalities get paid. | |
| Howard Stern gets paid to produce radio shows. | |
| That's not a crime. | |
| That's just money for content. | |
| Very common. Anyway, those are my thoughts on the matter. | |
| Thank you for listening. Mike Adams here, Brighteon.com and NaturalNews.com. | |
