This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)

Prosecutors said Ionov operated an entity called the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia that was used to carry out its U.S. influence efforts, overseen by the Russian intelligence service known as the FSB. They recruited U.S.-based organizations to help sway elections, make it appear there was strong support in the U.S. for Russia's invasion of Ukraine and backing efforts such as a 2015 United Nations petition to decry the “genocide of African people” in the U.S., according to the indictment.
How can these people be so fucking evil so as to view this worthy of being called espionage or treason. If this is the type of "espionage" Russia is doing, then they are sending human rights warriors here. Demanding the U.S. acknowledge its colonial present is worthy of support.
The only "crime" the DOJ is alleging is that they violated the Forigen Agents Act by not discolosing funds they may have received from the FSB, or through FSB agents. Not too sure since they constantly claim the Russian nationals that funded ASP were FSB.
Not even clear that this would stand in court since these talking points have been said for decades now. If the DOJ is arguing the intent is due to an "unresonable" sum of money being accepted, in the same way an "unreasonable" amount of drugs must mean intent to distribute, then that would be totally discredited by the fact that these are not new rhetorical talking points.
Imo very weak case, I wouldn't hold my breath for a non guilty verdict, but this is not going to be easy for the DOJ to prosecute.
