There’s been another twist in the left’s new favorite story about Russia supposedly funding some of the biggest quasi-conservative YouTubers with $10 million over the last year in what was most likely a honeypot that was orchestrated by our intelligence agencies in order to then bust them and then smear them as Russian propagandists. As the New York Times claims, Russia secretly worms its way in to America’s conservative media because Dave Rubin, a member of the LGBT community who has purchased children through surrogacy along with his supposed husband, and Tim Poole was really just a centrist, are supposedly American conservatives.

The story is not going to go away. It’s going to be one of the left’s primary talking points for the next, well eternity, but especially over the next two months as the election approaches, it will most likely be brought up at the debate tomorrow night as well. This designed to further crack down on truly independent media outlets, particularly podcasters and YouTubers, and plot that YouTube will undoubtedly use to justify further suppressing and shadow banning independent media channels and YouTubers, and further boosting mainstream channels or what they call authoritative sources in the search results and in the algorithms.

And to be clear, Tim Poole, Clickbait Betty Johnson, and Dave Babybuying Rubin didn’t actually know, Lauren Southern, that’s a whole other story, didn’t know that the money that they’re being paid was coming from Russia, being laundered through a bunch of different shell companies and then ultimately given to them by Tenant, which was absolutely outrageously inflated for the value of the content, the market value, the content that they were actually licensing or producing for Tenant. But it’s very clear that Lauren Chan actually did know that the money was coming from Russia and lied to her.

Supposedly friends, the talent that she hired and duped in order to work for Tenant, just one of the reasons is, well, I mean, you can say that the indictment is fake and fabricated, but if she actually did get investors for a media company that she started, and they were legitimate, then she would have been touted as the next big girl boss, this amazing genius YouTuber who now is creating a media empire to rival the Blaze and the Daily Wire, but she did everything that she could to hide the fact that she actually was the owner of Tenant Media.

In case you missed my previous video on this, she actually used to work for RT. Now we’re not even saying that there’s anything wrong with taking money from Russians for a media company, and we’re not at war with Russia. Now technically, she may have actually violated the Foreign Agent Registration Act, so there actually is a considerable likelihood that Lauren Chan may be indicted for this. But while the left has their new favorite story about how the big conservative YouTubers and who knows who else is on the Russian payroll to spread Russian propaganda, the right has now come up with an interesting spin on this story as well.

If you don’t support everything and anything that Israel does, and treat them like they’re America’s 51st state, then according to the senior editor of Breitbart, Joel Pollack, Megan Kelly, and others, you might be a Russian agent. Now Lauren Chan was pretty normal for a while, and then she started taking money from Russia, apparently around 2021, and then all of a sudden she started complaining about the influence of Jews in political life, and APAC, and how they were controlling the agenda. Which sounds like projecting to me, right? The whole dual loyalty thing. All of a sudden, she started being one of the more prominent anti-Semites on social media.

So I have no sympathy for her, and hopefully she’ll be held accountable in all this. One of the most prominent anti-Semites, he says, because she, like very few on the right, talk about APAC and the influence that they have, which is largely funded by a certain little foreign gudgy over in the Middle East that you’re never supposed to disagree with, no matter what they do. It now seems to me that we have to take every manifestation of some of this online anti-Semitism or bigotry or weird commentary of any sort with a grain of salt, because we don’t know who’s being paid to say what.

And if that’s where this came from, if this new resurgence in anti-Semitism online is coming from people who are paid to do it, I think, on the one hand, it should make us feel better, because I don’t think Americans are immediately anti-Semitic. On the other hand, we really have to be concerned about how much this sort of thing is affecting our discourse. This is Joel Pollack, the senior handler over at Breitbart. And of course, the word anti-Semitism is thrown around just as much, if not more so, than the word racist. And if you disagree with Benjamin Netanyahu about what the best flavor of ice cream is, then certain people may call you anti-Semitic.

That’s how often it’s thrown around. So now, if you’re an old Ron Paul libertarian or conservative, and you just don’t want American tax dollars to be going to any foreign country, and you don’t want America to be getting involved in any foreign conflicts, including the ones involving Israel, which mainstream conservatives, conservative ink, always make that one exception for when they make such statements about, I don’t want to get involved in any foreign conflicts. I don’t want our tax dollars going to any other country. Well then, now, according to conservative ink, you might be on the Russian payroll.

Lauren Chan represented this very passionate and quite rehearsed strain of thinking that was very anti-Israel. She was pretty hostile, and she was the first influencer or person with any kind of following that I really noticed who was representing what surprised me as a kind of anti-Israel strain of thought on the online right. And this is not a meme. This is not a deceptively or a cleverly edited clip. I kid you not. This is a segment from Ben Shapiro’s show exactly as it aired last week, showing him interviewing Tim Poole, who was denying any knowledge that the money that he was being paid, which was outrageously high, like I said, a hundred grand per episode was coming from Russia.

And I believe him. I don’t think he had any idea. He just was blinded by greed with the amount of money that they were being paid and denying that Tenet or anybody else had any editorial control over the content, which I also believe these guys were duped, with the exception of, well, maybe Lauren Southern might have known a little something more than she’s leading on. We’ll get into that in a moment. But here is Ben Shapiro interviewing Tim Poole and denouncing foreign influence operations aimed at American media. And then this happened.

It’s frustrating to get entangled in whatever it is she’s accused of being involved in. Folks, our friends in Israel need our help now more than ever. If you’re looking for a tangible way to support the Holy Land, you need to check out Artsubbox. Artsub brings the essence of Israel right to your doorstep. Every three months, you receive a carefully curated collection of authentic Israeli products, a treasure trove of handcrafted gifts, beautiful artwork, delicious foods, aromatic spices, and more. It’s like taking a journey through the land of the Bible without even leaving your home.

Now, I know some people are thinking that this is a deep fake or that this may be an actual ad read from a different episode because I mean, if you’re sharp, Ben is wearing a different suit. It’s in a different background, but this is 100% authentic. And that was the ad inserted at that very moment during the show. You can see it on the original Ben Shapiro YouTube channel, which you shouldn’t do. Don’t give them an extra view, but it does appear at the 641 mark. Being your trusted media analyst, I investigate these things and double and triple check the facts.

The reason he’s wearing a different suit and it’s a different background is because a lot of times YouTubers will just do a bunch of ad reads and then they’ll play that same ad read by inserting that clip into their podcast, into their show. And so that’s why he’s wearing different suits. That’s why it looks like it’s a different clip, but it is real and that’s how it aired. Conservative Inc. doesn’t have a problem with their media personalities and shows and media companies accepting money from a certain foreign country. And the liberals don’t even care that the New York Times is owned mostly by a Mexican guy.

Okay. So the Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim actually has the largest stake of ownership in the New York Times. Okay. America’s most prestigious newspaper is owned and controlled mostly by a Mexican billionaire. And the left certainly doesn’t have a problem with the Hungarian billionaire George Soros funding every possible anti-American institution and movement. We all know what they call you if you dare to point out the money chill that leads back to him. And it is interesting that the liberal media continues to claim that the YouTubers in question are liberal. And it is interesting that the liberal media continues to claim that the YouTubers in question are Russian propagandists.

When the indictment and Merrick Garland, during his press conference, admit that they actually had no idea that the money that they’re being paid from Lauren Chen’s company, which was started in Tennessee in the United States, was coming from Russia at all. The company never disclosed to the influencers or to their millions of followers its ties to RT and the Russian government. Instead, the defendants in the company claimed that the company was sponsored by a private investor. But that private investor was a fictitious persona. Now, Lord Chen has yet to make a comment about this, which is odd, because by now you would think that her and her lawyers would have crafted some kind of a statement denying any involvement.

But it certainly does look like she used her former ties at RT, where she worked as a columnist years ago, in order to then create this company, and then probably uneven knowing to her, then duped the big YouTubers into becoming connected to Russia, so that this honey pot could be sprung, and then they could all be smeared as being Russian propagandists to then catapult RussiaGate 2.0 60 days before the election. Lauren Southern, who worked for Tenant and is a very good friend of Lauren Chen, finally did issue a statement, very wishy-washy, rather lengthy and convoluted, appearing to deny that she knew what was going on, which personally, in my opinion, I do not believe.

Well, we’re not all getting that dirty Russian money, okay, to fund our $7,000 a month apartment. I can only afford a two bedroom, $3,500 a month apartment in Miami. I’m sorry that I’m not up there. This is my Kremlin penthouse that I’m in. I’ll get a bigger apartment. I’ll put the washer in the upstairs loft. Here we go. Here we go. We got a neutral moderator. Looking pretty guilty there. But again, it shouldn’t matter if a media company has funders, donors, investors from a particular country that the United States doesn’t like, especially since, technically, we’re not at war with Russia.

She’ll likely do another three hour vlog in tears, crying about how she didn’t know that Lauren Chen, her best friend in media, deceived her into accepting money from Russians, just like she did. She literally did a three hour video detailing all of the sexism that she faced in her career when she reinvented herself from kind of a pro-white activist, anti-immigration activist, to a more nuanced centrist. What else is interesting is that Taylor Hansen, who also worked for Tenant Media, he’s not obviously as well known as Tim Poole and Quickbait Benny Johnson, who, by the way, did used to work for Buzzfeed.

Some people got upset that I called him Quickbait Benny Johnson. I mean, how else would you describe the guy? Clickbait is in his veins because he did work for Buzzfeed, but then was fired for serial plagiarism. That is a whole other story. Taylor Hansen is the only affiliated person with Tenant Media, other than Lauren Chen herself was the owner, who was banned from YouTube. Coincidentally, I’m sure, he is the only other person, aside from Lauren Chen, who is not a big Israel cheerleader. He has made some comments, dare he, critical of America funding Israel or America getting involved in Israel’s problems.

So be prepared for more censorship, more shadow banning, more Russia-gate conspiracy theories, and I’d be willing to bet that CamelFace will bring this up, or the moderators will bring this up at the debate tomorrow. And here’s some fake news from CNN about that debate, saying that Harris prepares for the showdown. She’s long sought with Trump. Oh, she’s long sought a face-to-face debate with Donald Trump, which is why this is the only debate there I’ve scheduled, and that she doesn’t want to commit to the usual three debates, and that she even wanted to change the rules for this one.

And if you support President Trump, and you want to support my channel, and get a great shirt, order my new One For President shirt, Western style, the Trump-a-Mania shirt, the classic Trump fight, fight, fight shirt, or any of my awesome designs, by heading over to markdice.com, or click the link in the description below, and check them out!
