What's the logic here? CIA hacked DNC and then framed Russia to help Hillary? How? Or what? But I digress. Confusion is the goal.

Now, WL is pushing to discourage leakers or whistleblowers from contacting reputable outlets. Don't leak, or accept WL as gatekeeper.pic.twitter.com/xOxbkdAjfg

Meanwhile, there is a systematic, sustained & widespread campaign to hinder leaking to independent press & believe Russia was framed by CIA.

That, my friends, is how "info wars" are fought. Reel in gullible press; push parallel misinfo campaign. Saw *exact* thing with DNC hack.

Scaring dissidents away from communicating online at all; making CIA appear much more capable than it is (thus, we should all surrender); +

I wrote about how the DNC hack played before the election, too. This method targets dissent & needs gullible press. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/05/opinion/what-were-missing-while-we-obsess-over-john-podestas-email.html …pic.twitter.com/bhTn4yXmi9

It is hard to think of a method targeting the Dems as fundamentally aimed at crushing dissent. But the method does—even if you dislike Dems.

Anyway, after 2016, I had hoped that the press would be a little more vigilant with WL. Nope, seems gullible as ever. We are doomed. /end
