Good propaganda piece by #CNN
Being given diamonds is totally ok, it is "only tax evasion", not corruption, which is a "dirtier" word.

Equating a word with negative connotations with another less negative is a classic tactic of propagandists.
It draws a parallel between them.
Works the other way too.
Guilt by association, it can work with pictures side by side.
Works similar to this...

Starting the article with, "this thing you didn't know about" is a way to "suggest" to you that the following "bad thing" isn't as bad as you think.
Because if you "didn't know" about the first thing you should have doubt about this other thing "you thought you knew".
Cutting up the information about the story to "inject" an emotional state about something else, is to guide the emotion that was created by the first part of the story towards [x] and move it to something else [y].
re: all the crazy evil things Trump did, in middle of this story
Now the seeds of doubt have been planted and your emotion is redirected away from the subject of the story, we make the comparison between diamonds and tax, when you are in this emotional state the comparison is easier to suggest, this article is misdirection + programming.
You have to know how to do the trick to pull it off, this article is from a trained professional, they are hired for this,
The MS-Media are the enemy of the people.
These are not news articles, they are not informative, they are propaganda, psychological warfare.
Quoted in article.. "Hunter Biden disclosed the investigation himself" (9th Dec)

CNN knew about it and reached out on the 7th.
"The facts we do know are actually cause for celebration"

If there is one quote in this article that should clue you into this being propaganda, it is this emotionally manipulative quote.

fyi in case it's not clear this is an astroturf effort, and one so inept they transmitted info to someone who just had #BLM in their bio or something.


Look at this bot lol @JohnBrennan ur commie ops just aren't as slick as they used to be before Robert Conquest exposed ur methods (by the way John Brennan, I say "you" since u 'used to' be a CPUSA member).

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.


The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.

This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.

The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."

This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
