As in Syria, where communications firms like Valent created, trained and instrumentalized media organizations to further regime change objectives, they have covertly recruited a famed British YouTube influencer to lend their carefully calculated messaging campaign an authentic flavor.
According to internal documents, Valent plans to design a “mass appeal social media campaign fronted and owned by prominent social media figure Abigail Thorn,” the founder of Philosophy Tube. Valent’s research on British citizens who reject official policy on COVID-19 “will be used to devise a campaign that utilises YouTuber Abigail Thorn’s existing platform to achieve a measurable cognitive shift in the target audience,” the files state.
I dont know what to think of all this. Grayzone is my most trusted news source, but I have I big soft spot for Abby.
The Grayzone’s a mixed bag. Some of them are contrarians like you say, but some are more principled. I haven’t seen Maté or Norton push any of this weird antivax conspiracy stuff. They seem to stay focused on imperialism. Unfortunately, I think Blumenthal’s the site’s sugar daddy.
It’s Blumenthal. His dad’s pretty famous. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney_Blumenthal
Probably why his brain got so warped. I doubt they get along very well.
