Indictment names Tim Pool among influencers tied to covert Russian operation
Russia paid Tim Pool and some other right-wing podcasters hundreds of thousands of dollars—a shell company called Tenet Media handed out about $10 million—and those podcasters churned out anti-Ukraine/pro-Russia content. Then those payments were exposed, investigated, and appear to have dried up.
afferentinput.bsky.social11The coordinated switch of people like Pool and Loomer is super duper weird. I seriously don't think these idiots say anything without getting paid. But it's wild that they can completely switch sides for $$$$
K. Moore 🦋📚🎼3Laura Loomer and others have caused much harm to the LGBTQ community, their anti DEI vile posts, anti muslim etc..over the years, while I support the Ukrainian people, I do not support what is happening here. Ukraine will win without needing to use them as new converts or whatever.
Peter Kaufman3No honor among thieves. If the tide turns again, they'll flip again, too. See: Michael Cohen
bjkeefe2First Laura Loomer, now Tim Pool! Sanity breaking out all over!
Patrick Baker1Tim Pool better hope he doesn’t get poked with an umbrella.
Tom Pained1So who is funding this reversal.
MAGA is changing its tune. Tim Pool isn’t just a #MAGA propagandist – he’s a Russian asset. His company, Tenet Media, received money linked to Russia, and there is an investigation into it. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more anti-Ukrainian commentator.
Alina Pereverzieva 🇺🇦63And obviously, neither he nor Loomer has suddenly changed. Someone gave the order.
Quokka 🇫🇷🇺🇦🇱🇺22Now that Ukraine is winning, Trump wants to be on the picture. Like he did with the Spanish football team.
Special Disinformation Operation17Looks like at least the first few rats are leaving the sinking Russian propaganda ship.
Rarian Rakista14It seems he's being paid by the Gulf States now.
Alles wird gut11It seems the Kremlin forgot to make the payment - and this is now the reminder.
Pete11Russia's checks are bouncing. Can't lie if he isn't getting paid.
Alina Pereverzieva 🇺🇦22And, of coruse, Pool was among those who criticized Zelenskyy for now wearing the suit during his visit to the White House.
Jesse Singal Vapes Piss4never any clearer realtime example of "new funding opportunity dropped" than ol Pim Tool, he's not remotely bright enough to actually disguise how mercenary his "punditry" is-- he'd need a basic ability to form knowledge and critical thought into an argument, if even a bullshit one.
Truther_Dare3Damn. Russia has lost all its juice. Wonder if Vlad even had the piss tape after all?!?
Maarten Vreeburg3Deze ook al. Ik vraag me af wie hen nu opeens betaalt.
Kat Denise2Hmmm Most of us have known from day one: Stand with Ukraine. We must! 🇺🇦🫶
The Future is Unwritten2Guess that Russia money drying up.
Both Laura Loomer and Tim Pool have done sudden 180s and gone from spouting pro-Russian talking points to pro-Ukrainian ones. Loomer even traveled to Ukraine and met with President Zelensky and Chief Rabbi Moshe Azman. Not sure what’s going on here exactly, but it’s interesting to see play out.
Sarah Kendzior95The rabbi with whom Loomer met is the one who told Lev Parnas that Donald Trump is the Jewish messiah. He's also tied to Giuliani: www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chri...
Leah McElrath44Donald Trump also posted on Truth Social about Laura Loomer’s interview with Zelensky, with the comment “Very good!!!”
Jordan Scott25"Loomer even traveled to Ukraine and met with President Zelensky and Chief Rabbi Moshe Azman." Haven't they suffered enough already?!?
jerbykoseph.bsky.social20Putin’s out of cash to pay them because Ukraine is slowly but surely destroying the Russian economy.
Woosh Oleander15Pure speculation, but maybe it has something to do with Ukraine supplying drone technology to the president son’s drone outfit.
JP Antifa11Grifters gotta eat. Same as worms.
Watching Tim Pool and Loomer's recent rapid evolution does leave you wondering how much Gulf state money underpins the American podcast industrial complex
Yiannis11Why do you think it's from the Gulf? (genuine question) Given the timing I'd have assumed Hungary/Orban, possibly funneling Russian money to them, but I'm open.
Gerry Doyle9I can't imagine being that much of a content mercenary
🪖 Jimothy Dan Harambe 🦩6The Gulf state pivot to Ukrainian tech after the US failure in the region certainly suggests there maybe something there. Though the swift reversal by the podcast industrial complex also comes directly after Ukraine's deal with Palantir, not to mention the others with Trump's sons and Erik Prince
Seeker of Tatras2Pool is just looking for attention, he posted almost the same thing two years ago
mecha-sheep.bsky.social2Russia, the Middle-East (including Israel), and the conservative connexion, through all the "think tank" and the various "foundations" irrigated by the fossil fuel industry, the NRA and and a few others. I would also bet on Azerbaijan and China, but more through Youtube and Tik-Tok.
Matthew Best1I think they whiplashed for different reasons. Loomer is known to be bipolar at minimum, and long periods of emotional lability can eventually cause cognitive shifts. I think she has now genuinely come to understand is Zelensky as Jewish she is and Ukraine as (truly) more Christian than Russia.
The worst thing with Tim Pool is that he was in Ukraine in 2013-2014, supportive of Euromaidan. He knows perfectly well that all of those points are 100% true, yet says them ironically.
Albert Amseldrossler24This grifter was exposed as a paid russian propagandist. When the money dries up, he'll try to find a new grift.
dipradan.bsky.social9A reminder that Tim Pool was confirmed to have received Russian Money.
Rlynner8I can't help but wonder what their game really is. Loomer, Pool, they're Trump loyalists. I don't believe for one minute they are on Ukraine's side.
magpie4life1892.bsky.social7So odd that anyone with a functioning brain gives a fuck what Tim Pool says about any topic.
Jes Møller4Did the Russian money disappear?
therealdwoo.bsky.social 🚣🏻♂️🏡4He did very well in the segment of prostitution that is apparently lucrative and not directly illegal
Der Waldmeister6At least no more income from Russia. No money, no propaganda.
Teddy Rebooted 🔔🇺🇸 🇺🇦💯2The "influencer" payments from the kremlin have run out. And, it's now evident that Ukraine has not only been brilliant at striking key structures that supply the russian war but has built a portfolio of next generation weaponry. Zelenskyy has the cards. putin is cooked.
i need people to stop saying that loomer and tim pool and the other grifters are "corageous" or that "it takes a lot of guts to admit you're wrong" about them stopping ukraine-bashing. the propaganda well running dry is not the same thing as a conscience blooming.
Unmanned Systems Forces of the City of Troy 🇺🇦🇱🇹🇵🇸🏴23Tim Pool /literally/ received money from Russia! If he's changing his tune it's for basically any reason /other/ than conscience
hanna9you can welcome a better position without pretending the journey was noble
Arvo Blärt, Mall Cop3Those rapidly swimming rats have really courageously decided to admit they’re wrong about the buoyancy of the ship
Baaia1It would be courageous if it was done in earnest and that they will continue on that bath. In the case of these two, apart from a most likely grift and trying to do the opposite of Trump seem to be the main goals. We'll see if anything actually comes from it.
Laura Loomer was the first MAGA to start championing Ukraine. That was very confusing. Now Tim “Tenet Media” Pool is jumping on the pro-Ukraine bandwagon too? I see what’s happening. Putin has stopped paying these traitors, and he can no longer protect them, so they’re turning on him.
Nomen Nullus "Nully"4He lost his subsidy from Putler?
Cryptkeeper Sophie Luther3Didn't Pool used to get paid by Russia to make videos where he declared Ukraine to be the enemy of the US?
NeuroFellaMD 🥺 📚⚖️🗽3Or it’s their next psyop I’ll never trust those POS
The chicken lady2Saving their skins. Also , trying to bamboozle Ukraine and their media . Do not trust.
psymad.bsky.social1Yes. And the Maga world is splitting between Israel firster (anti russian, Loomer, Pool, Shapiro) and antisemites (Carlson, Owen, Fuentes). Orban money is gone, the management of this zoo of greedy, empty an cruel people is spiraling down. - may them fight to dead an rot in hell
Do Not Rank Tiffany Koyama Lane1Am I horrible to hope that he gives a few of them one final paycheck, near a window?
Tim Pool really should never live down "sources are telling me Charlie Kirk is stable. Please god." because A- he obviously hated Kirk, B- how are you "stable" after getting a hole blown in your throat, and C- you are not a reputable journalist! you either made it up or printed what Some Guy said!
Ali, Fang of the Sun3Having your carotid artery severed has a mortality rate of over 70%, assuming you're in a hospital and doctors are immediately free to operate But for Kirk it was bleedingly obvious (lol) that he was dead before he even hit the floor
neferpitoufan.bsky.social2I never saw the vid until weeks after it happened, so I legitimately believed him in the moment. After I saw the vid I could not believe how much he was bullshitting.
