Gabe Kaminsky at the Washington Examiner is reporting that two U.S. nonprofit groups tied to the Global Disinformation Index are withholding information on their operations to protect staff and donors. The redactions of names from 2021 IRS tax returns is being justified on the basis that the GDI is being harassed by critics. It is an ironic move since, as discussed in earlier columns, the GDI targeted and blacklisted conservative groups to drain them of revenue and support.
As discussed earlier, the British group ranked sites to warn people about high-risk disinformation sites. The ten most dangerous disinformation sites turned out to be conservative publications or Internet sites like Reason. Conversely, HuffPost made the top list of the most trustworthy for potential advertisers.
The GDI is designed to steer advertisers and subscribers away from certain sites, working with “advertisers and the ad tech industry in assessing the reputational and brand risk when advertising with online media outlets and to help them avoid financially supporting disinformation online.” The State Department partially funded the effort. The Biden Administration gave $330 million to The National Endowment for Democracy, which partially supports the GDI’s budget.
So the GDI actively sought to target other sites to organize opposition among advertisers, but now is withholding information to prevent a similar backlash against its own operations.
The private AN Foundation, also known as the Disinformation Index Foundation, and its affiliated public charity, Disinformation Index Inc., redacted copies of their 2021 IRS tax returns. A lawyer cited a coordinated “harassment campaign” to justify the redactions.
Some of the information was known from prior disclosures. For example, GDI CEO Clare Melford and its executive director, Daniel Rogers, are listed interchangeably in Delaware corporate records and other forms list Jo Jenks as treasurer. Other records reportedly list Melford as secretary, and Rogers as president.
Other information was removed, including the redaction of who gave a $115,000 donation for this work.
GDI also removed the list of its advisory panel members from its site. Again, these individuals were perfectly willing to participate in the blacklisting of conservative groups but appear to insist on anonymity for themselves. The panel reportedly included Finn Heinrich, a division director at the George Soros-funded Open Society Foundations grant-making network, according to his LinkedIn account.
As the recipient of federal funds, the lack of transparency is troubling and is likely to be the focus of inquiries from House committees.
Global Disinformation Index are withholding information on their operations to protect staff and donors
They are not the only agitprop group withholding information to protect their own. It appears that Tennessee House Democrat Justin Bautisa-Jones assaulted a driver, as caught on video, video in 2020, but denied it, as are his accomplices in the MSM. The Democrats (Marxists but I repeat myself) who cheered Justin Jones insurrection in the TN legislature, and subsequent cheering for Jones being reinstated, will defend their violent strategies to get their way. In Spanish we call this “golpe de estado” or “a hit to the state”, aka coup d’état. Cuba fell to Marxism because Fidel Castro controlled the news media and confiscated guns from the citizens shortly after declaring himself a Communist. One of these has already happened in America. If the second follows, we are done as a democracy.

The GDI is not dissimilar to the United Nations; it is a phantom which is entirely bereft of validity or legitimacy in any national fundamental law.
The GDI is a perpetrator of the PSYOPS of global communism, China, Russia et al.
The GDI perpetrates the criminal denial of the freedoms of thought, opinion, speech, press et al.
The GDI must be prosecuted criminally for denying constitutional rights and freedoms.
The GDI must be sued civilly for defamation.
What the leftist on this blog leave out is the use of government funds for the distribution of leftist propaganda. The explore every nook and cranny of an argument accept the one that is most important. The use of government funds against those of one political persuasion doesn’t seem to be of importance when it is the most important thing that we should be concerned about. I guess Big Brother can do what ever it wants to with it’s money to bring the first amendment to its final resting place if it gets in the way of defeating its mortal enemy otherwise known as freedom. Our leftist bloggers are willing to pave the Machiavellian road in order to come to a the final solution.
Professor Turley,
The timing of this article is curious, considering your network, Fox News, was just slapped with sanctions for failing to disclose evidence showing that its hosts and executives knew there was no support for baseless claims made about Dominion’s voting equipment and software and the 2020 presidential election.
I understand that you are likely muzzled by Fox from discussing its defamation case (one of your favorite topics!), but perhaps this was an inopportune time to critique an organization tracking disinformation.
The truth is that no network should be “trusted” for impartiality. That is why it is imperative that readers use multiple news organizations, with different slants, to get the clearest picture of a topic. Aggregators, like http://www.memeorandum.com are the only solution from bias on the left and the right.
The United States is at the beginning of a movement toward hand-marked, hand-counted ballots, a process that does not require the use of voting equipment. Voting equipment is expensive and uses secret software that the citizens paying the bills do not have access to. Voting equipment has to be secured and stored and maintained and updated and fixed whenever it malfunctions, which often occurs on election day as lines of voters extend out the door. No thanks.
Doe you have “access” to the hands of human vote counters? Human error is much scarier than that of a machine.
What a ridiculous Luddite argument.
One process being used to hand-count votes assigns to each polling place a four-person team, comprised of two Democrats and two Republicans, who jointly examine and discuss each hand-marked ballot and record the vote cast. Other variations of this process could be used depending on state and local laws.
“The private AN Foundation, also known as the Disinformation Index Foundation, and its affiliated public charity, Disinformation Index Inc., redacted copies of their 2021 IRS tax returns. A lawyer cited a coordinated “harassment campaign” to justify the redactions.”
Turley is not telling it’s readers one important fact. These PRIVATE non-profits are not required to disclose who their donors are or how much they are getting from who. Conservative and libertarian non-profits do this all the time and they cite free speech and the right to anonymity. So why would these non-profits be any different if they chose to remove their donor’s names and contributions? They have a right to not be subjected to MAGA nutties harassment tactics and targeted for death threats and such.
That is correct only government should be be required to disclose to whom they gave money and for what purpose or from whom it receivd money.
Where private parties get money is their businees.
Funny that you have not argued that until it is THE left in the spotlight.
What is relevant is their results.
And the answer is they are poor and they are not worthy of trust.
If 10,000 left wing nut organizations tell us the sun did not rise today – that does not make the claim true.
Absolutely these groups should not be subject to non-existant death threats and harrasment by those on the right.
I find it odd that you are trumpetting non-existant claims of reight wing violence on a week that Riley Gaines was repeatedly assulted by a left wing mob, trapped in a closet while facing threats on here life and efforts to extort money from her.
I am far more interested in real political violence than imaginary political violence.
Did a gunman attack the democratic softball team ?
Was a Democratic senator hospitalized by some right wing crazy ?
What democratic staffer has been knifed int he streets ?
Did a protestor take an Axe to a democratic senators door ?
The long stream of actual political violence in this country is from the left.
“Elon Musk, self-described ‘free speech absolutist,’ limits free speech since taking over Twitter

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/elon-musk-james-clayton-bbc-hateful-content
No one lives up to absolutest free speech. It is impossible, but that is what ATS hangs his hat on. Twitter is closer to free speech than any leftist organization. Twitter will protect itself and rightfully so.
ATS uses a link because he can’t defend the positions since there is no absolute answer to anything raised. ATS is not up to the challenge of others with critical thinking skills. He has none.
“So the GDI actively sought to target other sites to organize opposition among advertisers, but now is withholding information to prevent a similar backlash against its own operations.”
That’s a false claim. The GDI is not actively targeting anyone. It’s an index, a list compiled based on criteria they deem credible as sources of disinformation and the primary disseminators. Advertisers are free to make up their own minds on whether they wish to advertise using the index or not.
The other indexes have a right to withhold donor information based on the fact that MAGA nutties and Trump enablers actively attack and harass people who are critical of their “values” as MAGA nutties and such. As non-profits, just like the conservative ones are not required to disclose their donors. It’s part of that free speech thing they love to trot out when they are questioned about keeping their donors secret.
GDI’s results are garbage – which is obvious to anyone familiar with the most egregiously bad stories of the past decade.
Those universally are from the left.
Regardless, this is a typical left wing nut claim.
It is like the idiocy of the professor claiming conservatives have higher anxiety and depression.
A claim she is completely free to make.
But also one that is ludicrously false.

Trump warns biggest threat is ‘nuclear warming’
Disinformation based on ideology not facts. Not up to government nor organizations to decide. We the people need free exchange and make up our own minds. Restricting information is disinformation.
This is how Leftist operate, freedom for me, chains for the.
This is just another whine by Turley. It is all they have now.
If anyone is whining, it is you.
The good professor is just pointing out the hypocrisy of leftists.
“As discussed earlier, the British group ranked sites to warn people about high-risk disinformation sites. The ten most dangerous disinformation sites turned out to be conservative publications or Internet sites like Reason. Conversely, HuffPost made the top list of the most trustworthy for potential advertisers.”
Turley is sure trying hard to avoid the elephant in the room. The GDI is not wrong. All it is is a list of organizations with well known reputations for spewing misinformation and disinformation. The fact that the majority happen to be conservative organizations should not be surprising. Fox News which is the biggest and best example is set to go on trial precisely because they deliberately engaged in disinformation and misinformation willingly. It’s the biggest defamation case in years and Turley is dead silent on it which is telling.
Fox News is already being sanctioned by the judge even before the trial because Fox News withheld evidence and only disclosed it at the last minute. The GDI puts Fox News among the top organizations that deal with misinformation and given their current situation GDI is certainly not wrong.
Turley engages in misinformation himself when he falsely accuses the GDI of “forcing advertisers to avoid conservative organizations” (paraphrasing), a claim that is certainly not true. All the index does is inform those who are choosing to advertise with those organizations to have a better understanding of who they are advertising with. That just gives them the ability to make informed decisions about whether to continue to advertise or not. The index is no different than any of indexes that conservative non-profits provide for others to use exactly line GDI’s index.
The real question is when is Turley going to dive into the Fox News Dominion trial? Will he be criticizing his own employer? Will he admit he has been enabling Fox News with it’s misinformation regard the 2020 election fraud claims? Turley can’t keep ignoring it forever. I bet he’s really wanting to talk about it, but that would involve the risk of upsetting his employer and his readers.
Svelaz – how easily you ignore history. The biggest political hoax in recent years, and indeed in the history of the country, was the Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax, dreamt up by Hillary Clinton in 2016 and pushed by your employer, the DNC, then accepted and pushed for months and months by the Democratic-allied MSM. Did Fox push this hoax? Not only was the main thesis a hoax, so where subsidiary parts, e.g.: Michael Cohen in Prague; Carter Page being an agent of Moscow, the Alfa Bank connection. All of the subsidiary hoaxes were eventually exposed. Fox was not to blame for any of them. And then there were the COVID hoaxes: natural origin of the disease; closing schools was good for kids; kids were at risk of COVID; masks work; 6 feet of separation works; closing businesses was necessary; natural immunity was inferior to vaccines; the vaccines would prevent infection; the vaccines were safe. All of the COVID hoaxes were pushed by your friends in the MSM and furthered by a massive censorship effort involving the federal government and social media companies. But did FOX push any of the COVID hoaxes? No. In the past 10 years, FOX has been far and away the most reliable source of news, because at least they are trying.
edwardmahl,
Thank you for bringing facts to the table.
Edward, Fox News has been lying to you for years. This trial is what will ultimately expose Fox News for what it is. A propaganda machine for the Republican Party.
The “hoaxes” you claim were never proven to be hoaxes. The “Russia hoax” deflection doesn’t change the fact that Trump and Fox News has been lying to your face for years. Once the trial gets underway fox news hosts and the CEO himself will be forced to admit that they have been lying to your face and keeping you stupid because you are their cash cow. It’s pretty sad actually. It’s also a reason why Fox News is among the top 10 disinformation sites according to the GDI. That’s why Turley won’t dare talk about the trial. Because it would confirm the fact that the GDI is not wrong.
Edward: There wasn’t any “Russia hoax”, and the Steele Dossier, taken over by the Clinton campaign after it was started by a Republican opponent of Trump, was NOT the impetus for the investigation into the ties between Russian hackers and the Trump campaign. How many times do you members of Cult 45 have to have the proven facts explained to you? Both the Mueller investigation and a Republican Senate Committee investigated the ties, and concluded that the Trump campaign fed sensitive insider polling information to Russian hackers who used the information to spread lies about HIllary Clinton in key districts in swing states-all to evade the will of the American people because Trump and his campaign knew he would lose the popular vote. The plot was conceived as a way to leverage the Electoral College vote, and it worked. These facts were confirmed by Dan Coats, lifelong Republican, whom Trump appointed to be the head of all US intelligence agencies. Fox hosts can lie about this all they want and call it a “hoax”, but that won’t change the truth. Despite cheating to get into office, he never captured even 50% approval rating, which is a record in the history of presidential polling. He tried to cheat his way into office a seond time, and the members of Cult 45 who believed his lies are paying dearly, too–with criminal records and jail time for following his admonition to “fight like hell or you’re not going to have a country any more”. Talk about pushing hoaxes!
Likewise true is the FACT that the origin of COVID has not been scientifically confirmed–reliable scientists from all over the world still have not arrived at a consensus. Regardless of the origin of the infection, it is a FACT that the US fared far wose in handling COVID than other advanced countries–much of which is due to Trump lying about the seriousness and dangers of the infection–all because he thought it made him look bad. He admitted lying and downplaying the risk to Bob Woodward in a taped interview. An estimated 130,000 Americans died unnecessarily as a direct result of Trump and his lies, which include pushing fake cures like Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin. Cult 45 members still defend these medications as COVID cures, despite multiple scientific studies proving they are ineffective. No scientist said that vaccines would completely prevent people from getting COVID–they said it would lessen the risk of hospitalization and death–and that remains true. If people didn’t get conflicting information on COVID and complied with reasonable public health control measures, like social distancing, wearing masks and handwashing, COVID could have been brought under control much sooner, and it would not have been necessary for the US to mostly close down for about 2 years. Trump is responsible for that, and he was aided and abetted by Fox spreading lies, just like it spread the lies about Dominion voting machines, for which it will pay dearly.
What a ——- parasite, dependent and idiot par excellence.
NUTCHACHACHA, may do away with unconstitutional affirmative action, welfare, forced busing, etc., now or do you still need it in your attempt to be a real person?
Gigi,
At this point the entire FISA Warrant as well as the Affadavit has been made public.
You are correct that the Steele Dossier was NOT the only basis for the Claim of Russian involvement.
You are INCORRECT that there was a single legitimate basis.
The Steele Dossier was a HOAX.
The Alpha Bank nonsense was a HOAX
Both were manaufactured by the Clinton campaign.
Papadoulis did not talk to Downer nor have anything to do with the hacking of Clinton’s emails.
As has been well established – John Podesta’s catfishing had nothing to do with the Trump campaign.
The FISA application FALSELY claimed that Carter Page was NOT a CIA asset – when he was.
There is not a single claim regarding Russia Colluding with the Trump campaign that has not bee DISPROVEN.
In FACT there is not a single claim regarding Russian interference to allegedly favor Trump that has not been DISPROVEN.
Yes, Mueller wrote some stupid speculation unsubstantiated by Fact.
I would note that when he was surprised because one Russian Company he accused actually decided to go to Court – not only did Mueller LOSE,
but he could not even get int he door. The Judge tossed the case for failure to state a claim and threatened to Sanction Mueller if he continued to claim in Public things he had NO EVIDENCE of.
As we have learned fromt h Twitter files – Twitter could not find these Russian Bots.
Not only did they look HARD. but they looked mutliple times – even getting paid by the FBI to look further.
They found no russian bots engaged in political influence in the 2016 election.
In fact the whole Hamilton68 as well as other alleged Russian bots are proved a fraud. There were REAL Americans engaged in political advocacy that those of you on the left did not like.
Contra YOUR claims the whole Collusion Delusion was a FRAUD, a HOAX. Actually a collection of HOAXES. FRAUDS and LIES.
The only collusion with Russia in the 2016 election was Clinton’s use of Danchenko – a Russian national, and a likely Russian Agent to construct the Steele Dossier.
Worse still – the DOJ/FBI KNEW that nearly all of this was fraud and hoax, and that all of it was without substance in Oct 2016.
Sussman and Danchenko did not get off because they did not lie to the FBI – they did not even pretend they did not lie to the FBI.
Their successful defense was that the FBI KNEW they was lying.
You can rant nonsense and lies all you want.
Trump’s “russian ties” are to a Pop Singer, not Putin or even Oligarchs.
While the Clintons (and Biden’s) have received Millions from an assortment of Putin’s Oligarchs
Regardless every single element of the FISA warrant application has proven not only to be False,
But to be known by the FBI to be false at the time.
The Collusion Delusion was a MASSIVE fraud on the courts, and the public.
You worship Mueller – who found NOTHING.
But you ignore the fact that he was CULPABLE – a participant in one of the greatest hoaxes perpitrated on the country.
Aside from the fact that Mueller claims are not supported by facts – which he admits.
His entrire investigation was illegal and unconstitutional.
In arguably he KNEW from near the start – that ALL the allegations in the FISA warrant were FRAUDULENT
Your Hero Mueller sent the same Fraudulent garbage to the courts twice and requested countelless search warrants based on Garbage he KNEW was fraudulent.
With respect to the Fox Defamation lawsuit.
It should have been dismissed long ago.
It is entirely without merit.
It is only a question of time before some court tosses it.
Defamation requires a statement of FACT known to the false at the time published maliciously.
Even TODAY not one of those elements is established.
And yet of all the consequential lies of the past decade – every one is from the left.
You live in an alternate reality.
The Fox Lawsuit is just another stupid hail mary for the left.
The only question is when DVS will lose.
You still have no proof that DVS was defamed.
Look up the Republican Senate Report on Russian Interference in the election.
DO IT!
Look up what has been found since that invalidates many of the points made.
Do you still think the earth is flat. Should we look up what the Church used to say?
If one is of the behavior of a Svelaz their purpose here is to simply and incessantly troll Turley and consequently anyone else who appreciates Turley’s astute and judicious reporting on matters of interest to diverse numbers of people. The unhinged animosity for Turley is obviously personal, but becomes anti-social when it turns toward disparaging and defaming others. Svelaz well knows that with Turley as one who is employed by FOX News it would not be appropriate nor should it be expected of him to comment on the Dominion lawsuit so long as it is in litigation. But for being blinded by a grudge and malevolence for all things Turley, Svelaz by now would have graciously cut him some slack on that one. The fact that has not happened tells Turley’s followers much about what afflicts Svelaz.
No news organization is impartial. That is why readers cannot rely on left-wing or right-wing organizations for their news. Always click on the hyperlinks to verify what is reported (even on this site). Anyone who trust a news organization at present without verifying is willfully ignorant.
Svelaz…”Turley engages in misinformation himself when he falsely accuses the GDI of “forcing advertisers to avoid conservative organizations” (paraphrasing), a claim that is certainly not true.”
You are a fraud and a purveyor of disinformation. You “paraphrase” by inventing “forcing” instead of Turley’s own “steering”. You then go on to describe how the GDI is steering the subject organizations just as Turley described himself. You are creating a controversy out of whole cloth of your own invention and then labeling Turley as dishonest for saying what he never said.
Nothing can be more dishonest on your part or more transparently misleading or more indicative or your own agenda.
you want lies? Trump has over 30,000.
And Biden has a few million.
30,000. That’s the number of emails Hillary illegally erased, attempting to pervert the course of justice, That’s why she is in jail. (What? You say she isn’t?)
Nathan, “steering” and “forcing” are synonymous in the context which Turley is implying to his readers.
The GDI is not steering anyone. All it is is an index anyone can use to decide for themselves with who they want to advertise with.
Turley IS being dishonest because he ignores the fact that conservative non-profits also have indexes that serve a similar purpose. You know, like “freedom indexes,” business friendly indexes, etc. they also “steer” organizations according to the rankings of THEIR indexes.
Svelaz…All of your “arguments” are illogical and divorced from the facts. It is apparent that you are probably paid by the word by someone to post drivel for what purpose I can only infer. I have given you a chance to have a meaningful discussion but I can see it is to no avail since you are someone whose sole agenda is to fill space with pointless, specious word salad.
Absolutely people and groups are free to produce lists like this as they wish.
And if the libertairan and republicans lists are total BS they shoudl be called out for it – just as GDI is.
The Collusion Delusion
Masks work.
The vaccines work
Lockdowns Work,
The Hunter Biden laptop is russian disinformation.
Claims that the Biden family was benefiting from business deals without our foreign adversaries is debunked right wing conspiracies.
J6 protestors were all violent.
They had firearms
J6 was an insurrection.
There were no federal agents involved.
And on an on – these and many many more of the most egregious false stories of the past decade ALL were spread by the LEFT.
Not only is Fox far more credible than WaPo or NYT – much less HuffPo.
But Alex Jones is more credible than most of the MSM.
Your GDI claims are OBVIOUSLY Self refuting.
If you want people to beleive you
Start by NOT LYING.
When you make stupid claims that are trivially FALSE – all you do is prove your own untrustworthy.
Are we, any of us, surprised at the hypocrisy at this point? I doubt that the prog/left even considers it hypocrisy in their fanatic and oblivious race to their utopia by any means (even if it requires the elimination of those not cooperating). Time for talking with or about this situation is over and action needs to be contemplated in order to stop this before it reaches a tipping point,
Whimsical – not surprised. They know they’re at war with the unwashed masses (and with reality itself) as I mentioned yesterday, and all’s fair in war.
And speaking of evil left-wing organizations: Dylan Mulvaney is the equivalent of the snake oil salesmen of old. He is making a small fortune selling a phony product and leaving everyone else worse off.
Naturally the Biden admin has chosen him as its poster boy.
oldmanfromkansas,
Well, he might be doing okay, AB stock is down 4.7%, and has lost nearly 5 billion.
Other reports of sales of Bud Light have been down as much as 80%.
The local beer shop I stopped at the other day, he said sales of Bud Light were down. A number of his customers have commented they will not buy Bud Light anytime soon.
Some are saying this boycott has legs.
More definite information should be coming out later in the week.
My BFF has been a loyal Budweiser drinker for 50 years, and has switched over this. Her daughter, a Bud Light afficionada for at least 2 decades, has also switched. I know they aren’t alone.
Womanhood is NOT a performative matter – it’s living with the chemistry, the menstruation, the reality of being threatenable by males. When this ill individual can truthfully claim he’s had his God-given vagina penetrated against his will by a penis, he can get back to me.
Well stated Ellen. And it must irk you that he’s also being used to promote tampons of all things.
You must be kidding. Right?
Thanks – and, thank the Good Lord, the tampon thing was apparently not accurate. But, as a double-D-cup, I consider it equally idiotic and offensive that he’s been chosen to promote sports bras.

Just more conservative hate manifested in destructive action.
What destructive action would that be?
That would be anything NOT promoting the elimination of the species as we know it. Think about it – for decades, the left has been on board with any cause which does not promote the flourishing of humanity.
1. Abortion – ’nuff said.
2. Homosexuality – while I have no animus for gays, and indeed have dear ones who qualify, such relationships are by nature sterile, as they cannot by themselves produce offspring.
3. The war on energy affordable to the many – this really does kill actual people, who die of cold, or lack of medication which they forego to keep warm.
4. President Obama signing into law the rescinsion of the blanket prohibition against the U.S. government propagandizing its citizens.
4. The “trans” movement – this is actual cancellation of women as such – now, sterile caricatures of my sex are held as “better” than real women.
5. COVID and the jabs which are not vaccines – the latter we know interfere with womens’ fertility – and the former was weaponized against the world by the Chinese. if not by deliberate design initially, then by cynical deliberate spreading of the virus to the world.
6. The current efforts to incorporate mRNA into our food supply via Monsato seeds and foreign meat, which latter can now (again, Obama signed this into law) be labeled a “US Product” if it receives minimal processing in the US.
The US is set against humanity, and particularly against its own citizens. Has any nation with that focus ever flourished? Or have we demonstrated sufficient corruption as to have no doubt that such corruption is an absolute sign of death?
I attended a college known for music, art and theatre in upstate NY. I had a very dear friend who dressed as “Tiffany” on occassion. He was quite gay but he NEVER believed he was a woman when he dressed in drag. This current class of trannies are not the same as what we think of as drag queens. These poor fools have been told and convinced by some agenda that they can actually “transform” themselves into the opposite sex by manipulating their exterior meat sack and deluding themselves into thinking that this will make them women. These are mentally sick people and the most dispicable of all are the enablers who tell them they are fine in what they are doing and then make a business deal to surgically alter them. It is really quite criminal what these enablers do.

“I wonder what happened to Anonymous (ATS).”
Just don’t say that 3 times. Beetlejuice!
Isn’t it ironic that people providing lists of conservative groups to be blacklisted, such “conservative” publications as REALCLEARPOLITICS and REASON, are hiding their own names from the public. In other words they want to remain ANONYMOUS!!!! Anyone reading this will note the irony of a fascist demanding fealty while wanting to be ANONYMOUS. What’s next, a group known as Svelaz claiming the right to tell everyone what to think?
Just a little inside baseball humor for the good people that partake in the comments section of the great site created by Professor Turley.
Svelaz is a troll.
Ever wonder what type of person compulsively returns to a site dozens of times a day to look for arguments?
I wonder what happened to Anonymous (ATS).
ATS is likely still here but using one of many sock puppets, not that I read their comments. Ive been commenting on this forum for 4+ years, and one particular writing voice has been fairly consistent in multiple “authors” (aka sock puppets). Svelaz is the same whiny, sophomoric, monosyllabic writing voice as a host of many other sock puppets I have seen over the past few years. These are the usual suspects who attack Professor Turley and use the same talking points day after day. It’s instructive that forums that were meant to foster dialogue, encourage debate, sometimes vigorously, with people for the purpose to change minds or broker a middle ground, has metastasized into few people changing positions. I have learned a lot on this forum from the attorneys and some other folk who cite sources and argue from them. Otherwise, I generally scroll past the trolls because all they really seek is discord.
Estovir,
Well said.
I have commented before, I get a tone of voice reading regulars here on the good professor’s blog.
We also seem to have more of a personal connection, like in our exchanges I imagine we could be sitting in a coffee shop having discussion.
Heck, Lin commented she thought about me one morning when it was cold or snowing.
As for the trolls, I too generally scroll past.
Although they do give insight into their . . . thinking, as disturbing as it may be.
Estovir – same.
Estovir, you’re multiple handles on this blog. Hullbobby, and Thinkitthrough, are the others.
The whiny tone gives you away. Can you say hypocrite?
Dumb.
I doubt you are correct – but lets say you were ? Would it matter ?
I would greatly prefer that people used an actual name and stuck with that name.
But purely so that we could gauge their credibility based on past accuracy.
That is my preference. It is not a demand and I would not enforce it if I could.
No one is more whiny than those of you on the left.
None are more intolerant.
None are more racist, or sexist.
Yet, you are still here.
That is how free speech works.
You are constantly debunked.
Not one has canceled you.
or censored you.
Monumentcolorado, there are a bunch of regulars here who comment every day. John B, Say, George, S, Meyer aka, anonymous. TtT, Hullbobby. They all return to this site to complain and whine about leftists, Marxists, socialists, Stalinists, statists, communists, ANTIFA, the deep state, etc, etc, etc, etc,. They all come here to troll, whine, complain, and “stick it to the libs” because they want to.
The whole purpose of this site is to engage in discussions, but most of the time it’s no different than being on Parler, or Gab or any of the other conservative social media platforms. It seems most of the whining about my posting or Anonymous, and even Enigma’s centers on the fact that there is an alternative point of view or a contradictory argument. If it weren’t for those differences this would just be another boring conservative echo chamber.
“…regulars here who comment every day. John B, Say, George, S, Meyer aka, anonymous. TtT, Hullbobby. They all return to this site to complain…
“stick it to the libs”…
No one is sticking it to the libs. Most are sticking it to dishonest people. You are one of those people. You are dishonest and ignorant.
By the way, I hope you realize the evolution of names and how the left uses them to deceive. I think you have heard of Marx, but doubt you know much about him. His writings were somewhat screwy, and his predictions were wrong.
The far left has been involved in much of that thinking and dragged many people into that train of thought. But like the stink of a rose, the left changes the meaning of words.
Liberal is not what you think it is. The word was more palatable to many people, so the left used it. It comes from the term classical liberal. Professor Turley is a classical liberal. Alan Dershowitz is a classical liberal.
You are a fruitcake and not even a leftist. You don’t know enough to be one. You do have the knowledge or lack thereof to be a fool.
S. Meyer,
I agree.
No one is sticking it to the libs.
I am on the same side as our host the good professor, Bill Maher, Elon Musk: They did not leave the Democrat party. The party left them.
They are sane, traditional liberals.
What has happened is the woke leftists mob has taken over.
People like the good professor and Bill Maher are just pointing it out.
The “it left me” is a tired whine. The leavers are usually chronic malcontents.
Bill Maher is a chronic malcontent?
Congratulations, you win the dumbest comment of the day award.
I am libertarian. I am not a “traditional liberal” or a conservative.
Both have flaws. Both are dangerous.
But neither are a fraction as dangerous as modern progressivism.
I can find lots of common ground with liberals and conservatives.
But even on issues where I MIGHT have some common ground with modern progressives – they go way to far, and are way to authoritarian.
I would make prostitution legal, get rid of the FDA and all drug laws.
Do you really think that someone who would not prevent others from abusing narcotics cares if they want to beleive they are women (or men or …) ?
But we do not give heroin to kids. I do not think there is any libertarian that supports that.
Nor should be be sexualizing them either.
Further my wife deals with “sex offenders” all the time – a large percent are pedophiles, and while we make lots of things sex crimes that should not be.
That does not change the fact that pedophiles are very real.
And if you open the doors to sexualizing kids – the pedophiles will be their in an instant.
Svelaz -= aside from spin what you describe is correct.
It is also what you do.
The difference is that you do so badly – partly because you do not have the skills ,
but mostly because you are on the wrong side.
I would note – few are here to “stick it to the libs” – Turley is a liberal. You are not.
The left today is most definitely NOT liberal.
And the difference is important.
You rant about the alleged authoritarianism of the right. But inarguably YOU are the threat to the individual liberty of others.
Authoritarianism is the use of the force of government to compel others to live as you demand,
without justification.
You can use force against those that initiate force against others.
You can use force to compel others to keep a binding agreement.
You can use force to compel people to make whole those they have actually harmed
All government is force. If force is not necescary to accomplish something – then government is not necescary to accomplish that.
Actions by government outside those justified domains about – is by definition authoritarian.
Today by far the greatest authoritarian threat is from the left – people like YOU.
While at various times in history the right has proven a significant threat, pretty much since the French revolution
the progressive left has been the most dangerous threat.
What separates YOU from the participants in the french revolution ?
Why should anyone believe that your class an idelogical warfare will not result in blood in the street ?
What separates you from the Bolshevicks ? The Nazi’s ? the Maoists ? Pol Pot ? Chavez ? Castro ?
Each one of these made the same class, race, or group persecution claims you make.
Each one of these ended with tyranny and copious bloodshed.
Each one of these sought and gained government power with the intent of punishing those in the
class, race, or other allegedly persecuted group.
What distinguishes you from the other class race or identity group hustlers ?
No one is “whining” about you.
Nor is this about an “alternate point of view”
You are WRONG.
You seek the power to infringe on the liberty of others.
However many points of view there are – there is only one reality.
It does not conform to YOUR wishes.
You are opposed because you seek to use force against others without justification.
Just as I oppose you – I also oppose republicans in the rare instances they seek to do the same
John Say,
Once again, another epic take down.
Simply awesome.
Is there any substance in your post ?
Lots of words that ultimately say nothing more than people disagree with me.
As is typical you write only in the vaguest terms.
You lb terms like “conservative echo chamber” as if that has meaning.
I do not care what lables you tag someone else’s views with.
Calling a man a women does not make them one.
Though I am perfectly willing to label people however they wish – voluntarily.
But the label does not change reality.
Are the posters critical of you correct or incorrect ?
Rather than labeling others, try maming substantive arguments for your claims
and against theirs.
But you do not do that.
You have been caught lying – frequently and seriously.
You have been caught lying about the world, about politics about public figures.
But you have also been caught lying about people here.
Not only that – but you clearly do not care.
Most on the right atleast show some remorse and shame in the rare instances they are caught in lies.
You do not do that – you double down. You repeat the lie.
Why should you be trusted ? About anything ?
Certainly you and those like you should never be trusted with power.
Hullbobby, the only reason why they are choosing to become anonymous is because conservatives, especially MAGA nutties, have become more aggressive and violent towards critics of their leader Trumpy bear. It’s not just the GDI organization. It’s also judges keeping juries anonymous because it’s a fact that Trump supporters and like minded adherents have been issuing death threats, doxing, and harassing on social media. They have good reason to go anonymous and that is directly due to Trump insinuating quietly prodding his supporters to intimidate his critics. Remember it’s trump supporters who have been sending threats to judges and their families.
Turley should know better than to go off on another conspiracy laden semi-accusation ridden column about these “shady organizations”. He’s feeding the rage he loves to criticize.
Conservatives have violence in their blood.
They are always talking about WWIII, civil war, war on same sex marriage, war on the poor, war on LGBTQ, war on anything they don’t like. Obviously they love the idea of war and violence. That’s why they love guns so much.
Another ATS talking point that he thinks is a good substitution for critical thinking skills.
Take one, WW3. Are you too stupid to recognize that the Ukraine war could lead to WW3 and an exchange of nuclear weapons? How about Taiwan, another hotspot, or Iran where the Democrat leader has made it almost certain that Iran will develop nukes and the ability to use them? One should expect that development to lead to a major crisis in the Middle East that could also cause WW3.
ATS lacks critical thinking skills. He is unable to think.
It was Trump who refused to honor the agreement, which enraged Iran and had them start up their nuclear program and refine Uranium to 80%.
It was Obama whose agreement permitted Iran to have Nuclear weapons. I forget the timeline but today is close to the year Iran was permitted to have them by Obama.
Throughout the Obama years and afterward the Iranians worked on the bomb and a delivery system while they lied to Obama and everyone else. The truth is clear for anyone to check themselves, but we don’t expect anyone from the left to search for the truth.
The absolutely ineligible son of a foreign citizen and “community organizer,” Obongo, gave the South China Sea to China to enhance the global growth of communism.
And he should not of.
It was a bad deal made by Obama. It made no sense.
Now, Biden has alienated so many of our so-called allies, they are pivoting away from the US, joining the BRICS, engaging the SCO, looking to deinvest in the dollar and has lead from a US/Western uni-polar world to a multi-polar world.
IO think you have no idea of what the agreement was. It put cameras in sensitive areas and had inspectors go anywhere they wanted. It was iron-tight. Trump ruined it all, having them enrich to 80% out of spite.
If you actually believe that, then I have a bridge to sell you in NYC.
“and had inspectors go anywhere they wanted.”
That was not permitted and when fraud was noted, Obama did nothing.
Are we concerned that Biden is playing WWIII, nuclear chicken with Russia?
Yes. Very. As everyone should be. The fact the Doomsday Clock has moved up to 90 seconds to Midnight under this WH admin it not trivial.
Civil war?
Yes. The leftists parallels to Mao’s Culture Revolution are uncanny.
War on same sex marriage?
It is legal. No one is waging war on same sex marriage. I have two good friends who are in a same sex marriage. To paraphrase the late, great George Carlin, why should gays be exempt from suffering the institution of marriage like everyone else?
War on the poor?
Do you mean Bidenflation? I am not poor but I am feeling the effects of Bidenflation that it is worrisome.
War on LGBTQ?
No. Like the group Gays Against Groomers, use some common sense stop sexualizing children or just stay away from kids.
I have served in the military. If anyone abhors war, it is us. We keep arms as a means to defend ourselves from would be fascist tyrants like yourself.
Really?
Was that trans woman who shot her way into a school, shot and killed three 9 year olds and three adults a conservative?
How about the 2020 summer of fiery but mostly peaceful love?
The recent TN insurrection?
All those deep Blue cities with strict gun control laws, but lax crime laws losing millions in population as those citizens flee for safer Red States and cities?
So many people moved here from Red states my house built in 1956 and sold for $12,000 is now worth one hundred times that, at over a million dollars. YOU folk did it, pricing my grandchildren out of the housing market, forcing them to more to less desirable states.
You are not making any sense.
George,It was a good investment, but nothing fantastic. If $12,000 were in a tax free vehicle at 7% compounded you would have had around $1.3Million in the bank. Subtract carrying costs, taxes, and realtor fees and you have a lot less.
Inflation has mostly been caused by the left and they are the ones taking the bread out of your children’s mouths.
They may have come from Red States, but they were liberals.
So, no, my folk did not do it.
And Red States are more desirable than Blue states. They have better neighborhoods, lower crime, lower taxes, lower cost of living.
CA and NY have lost so many they actually lost congressional seats. Meanwhile, Red states like TX and FL are gaining.
These would be facts.

American women stopped making the American population, putting the fertility rate in a “death spiral” and killing America – Thanks, Ladies.
Conservatives are becoming more violent ?
Are conservitives in pitched battles with the police in Atlanta ?
Have conservaitves invaded 3 state capitols in the past month ?
Have conservatives firebombed any abortion clinincs in the past year ?
Have conservatives shot up christian schools ?
Have Consrvatives assulted Democrats senators, Rep.s Staffers ?
Where is this conservative violence ?
What we are learning is that YOU lied about J6. That there was far less violence than you painted and that it appears to have been started by the CP, not protestors.
There is a potential risk of escalating conservative violence
IN RESPONSE TO THE RISING VIOLENCE OF THE LEFT.
