On the russian influencer front.... 'conservative'? 'right wing'? podcaster Tim Pool is outed as a paid shill for russia (being paid about $100,000 a week through a kremlin intermediary) back in September and, just as if he himself were russian, tried to play dumb and claim that he's the real victim...
New sanctions announced against agents of russian influence in the US and the next day he 'suddenly' decides to shut down his podcast to take care of the family he doesn't have... or his inability to find qualified staff... or something.....
Apparently he's referred to Ukraine as the number one enemy of the US and said US aid 'provokes' russia.....
Other supposed beneficiaries of russian influence peddling supposedly include Dave Rubin, Lauren Southern and Matt Christiansen... all influential figures on the 'alt right'....
Meanwhile, head of RT Margarita "I love censorship" Simonyan is proud to take part in such operations....

In recent years a big part of the 'alt right' has become a psy-op.
