[quote=Anonymous]If you've noticed a sharp drop (at least temporarily) of pro-Trump / MAGA propaganda on this or other websites, it's not because the Russian's are on holiday celebrating the 4th of July.  The Russian internal witch hunt seems to have helped disrupt part of the Russian troll farms that interfered with US elections.  This should help more clearly identify internet traffic directly associated to the Internet Research Agency - since they will be silent (at least for now).  And if Putin wants to quickly re-spin these back up again, it will further drain the foreign exchange funds he directly controls - which should be interesting if he has to rob Peter?

"As of Saturday, websites of the RIA FAN news agency and four online news portals controlled by Prigozhin's Patriot media holding company "People's News", "Neva News", "Politics Today" and "Economy Today" -- were listed on a register of blacklisted sites maintained by the communications watchdog, Roskomnadzor."
"Unconfirmed reports in Russian news outlets Friday claimed that Prigozhin himself had ordered a shut down of St. Petersburg-based Patriot. Prigozhin has not directly confirmed or denied the reports.
Patriot, founded in 2019 to bring together Prigozhin's media and internet assets, included the Internet Research Agency, the so-called "troll farm" linked to Russian attempts to meddle in U.S. elections."
"Patriot director Yevgeny Zubarev said this week that the Internet Research Agency, which was tasked with conducting online influence operations to advance Russian interests, had operated under Prigozhin's control since 2009 before being brought under the Patriot umbrella."

The witch hunt in Russia is off to a fine start, and it looks like the ultranationalists are in the lead.  This is an example of a Russian public trial / interrogation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY-zTi_ZXtw

Notice the host of this show is Roman Babayan.  His backgroud is interesting.  He's a "journalist" who's been awarded the Order "For Personal Courage", the NATO medal "For participation in the NATO peacekeeping operation in Kosovo", Medal "For Strengthening of Brotherhood in Arms", the medal "For Strengthening the Military Commonwealth", Medal "For the Return of Crimea"  and the Combat Brotherhood medal.

One of Babayan's supporters on the Russian State Duma is Oleg Matveychev.  Oleg "dreamed of gathering the Russian opposition on a city square and calling in an army of tanks to mow them down. 'And then, like after Tiananmen in China, we would also have 10% annual economic growth after 20 or 30 years'"

Babayan has a reputation as a "role is to provoke conflicts between the participants of the talk shows, to increase the degree of aggression and to expose opponents of the Kremlin’s policy as stupid, weak and hot-tempered people"
"On his talk show, he regularly screams at his guests and even engages in fights"

This is possibly a sign that the people on the panel of this show are "suspected" of lacking complete loyalty?  That is significant since the tables have been turned on the Iron Beaver (Margarita Simonyan, Head of RT, and often the show's host when she appears)

With this in mind, watch this show carefully.  
[0:51/7:15] Head nodding and eye reaction to her statements.
[1:18 / 7:15] Admission of knowing Prigozhin many years.
[1:34 / 7:15] The accusation of Michael Bohm that he believed Prigozhin would succeed
[2:00 / 7:15] The accusation that Prigozhin was Michael Bohm's favorite authory
[2:49 / 7:15] Implying there was a connection between Prigozhin's actions and Michael's publications
[4:40 / 7:15] The Iron Beaver smells blood in the water and starts shoving Michael under the bus
[5:15 / 7:15] The Iron Beaver figuratively points the finger taunting 'I told you so'
[6:30 / 7:15] By this time Babayan had Margarita on the defensive, explaining why it's a bad idea to attack western capital cities.

"That disaffection creates a once-in-a-generation opportunity for us at the CIA - at our core a human intelligence service. We're not letting it go to waste."
