Inside the Decade-Long Russian Campaign to Infiltrate the NRA and Help Elect Trump

quote:
As part of Putin's "active measures," Hall says, Russia has attempted to influence right-wing and populist factions abroad, preaching unity around social conservatism: "'We're both religious-based countries – we have the Orthodox Church that's a big deal for us.' " The Russians, Hall believes, "made a natural transition in the United States to the NRA"; over time Putin became determined to exploit the American gun lobby "and decided Mr. Torshin is going to be the guy to do it for him."

Rolling Stone always has had an agenda. Russia is capable of most anything. Putin just likes to present himself as more cultured and refined than Joe Stalin. The first question of every Russian leader is what is in it for Russia?

But of course, comrade!
Heston is short for Hestonov. Why do you think he was a 5-term NRA President? Roll Eyes

Just more of the never-ending left-wing propaganda to try to discredit gun owners, the NRA and conservatives.

Ridiculous. While I don't discount any Russian involvement in the election, the idea that they were in favor of one candidate over the other, shows the authors poor understanding of subversion. Rolling Stone is desperately trying to connect the dots...any dots, where there's individuals and organizations that are inherently conservative, who've had any dealings with Russia in the past.

Suddenly Russia is a real concern, a threat to us and our way of life, but when Romney said so he was just some old dinosaur channeling the 1980s.

Oh, yes, this dovetails beautifully with Adam Schifferbrains' bold statement / assertion not too long ago (2/5/18) that -

“Apparently the Russians are very big fans of our Second Amendment. They don’t particularly want a Second Amendment of their own, but they’re really glad that we have one. The Russians would be thrilled if we were doing nothing but killing each other every day, and sadly we are.”

Ha,

Reminds me of the point in a movie with a lot of twists and turns where the bad guy (who previously had the good guys all fooled) says something that sounds plausible to him, but the good guys know is absurd and it gives them away.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find the pesky Ruskeys infiltrating the Boy Scouts either.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

It isn't difficult to be more cultured and refined than Joe Stalin, IMHO.
