‘Russian Collusion’ Redux: The Tenet Media Psy-Op
Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us,
As a liberty writer and economist I have been working within the alternative media for almost 20 years now. I was there at the inception of what we consider the modern counter-media movement, when a scattering of radio hosts, writers and video bloggers started to come together to create perhaps the greatest unsung information revolution in decades. It was this era in which the mainstream corporate news started to lose their audience by the millions.
This was also the advent of the Ron Paul movement and the return of a more true conservatism that would eventually shake up the Republican Party and the “Uniparty” paradigm. Neo-cons are not conservatives, they are leftists and globalists in disguise. We all know that now, but back then it was an uphill struggle to get the average conservative voter to understand they were being duped. Today, most Neo-cons are abandoning the Republican Party to vote for Kamala Harris.
The success of Donald Trump is a symptom, a side effect of this burgeoning liberty activism. Trump didn’t start it, he just rode the wave that we created many years ago. It’s important to remember that it existed before him and it will exist after him. That said, it’s undeniable that Trump has come to symbolize a big middle finger to the establishment on the part of the conservative and even moderate population. His campaigns have indeed helped to bring culture war awareness to the forefront. Furthermore, I would dare say we are winning that war.
The political left used to deny that the culture war existed. Today, woke ideology is now thoroughly exposed in entertainment, in corporate journalism, in public school curriculum, in the military and within our own government agencies. The alternative media made this victory possible.
A lot of people also had a “come to Jesus moment” during covid. The political left grasped so desperately for total authoritarianism during the covid mandates that they rushed ahead and flew too close to the sun.
They went after our basic freedoms, they tried to ban us from public places, they tried to force us to act as guinea pigs for experimental vaccines, they censored our free speech, they threatened to take our jobs away, take our kids away, and throw us in covid camps. All of this happened only a few years ago and it shocked large numbers of Americans out of apathy.
The covid agenda failed in part because of the tireless efforts of the alternative media spreading scientific facts and evidence that contradicted government propaganda. The mandates were defeated. The vax passport plan was defeated. The CDC was forced to inflate the numbers of people who actually took the first vax and they had to hide the reality that almost no one took the boosters.
What this means, though, is that the globalists will simply try something new; a new disaster with a new enemy and a new agenda to take what’s left of our freedoms away. Algorithmic censorship of the alternative media on search engines and YouTube didn’t work and kicking us off social media helped them little. We found other ways to get the truth out there.
They are coming after us directly next time, and the attacks have already started…
I’m speaking mainly of the Tenet Media controversy in which the Department of Justice has accused alternative journalist Lauren Chen of acting as a middleman (or middlewoman) for Russia Today (a Russian state funded media organization) to feed millions of dollars to unwitting conservatives and pro-Trump personalities like Dave Rubin, Tim Pool and Benny Johnson.
To be clear, the U.S. Justice Department doesn’t allege any wrongdoing by influencers, some of whom it says were given false information about the source of Tenet’s funding. Instead, it has indicted two employees of RT under the Foreign Agents Registration Act for funneling nearly $10 million to the Tennessee-based content creation company in exchange for Russia-friendly content. However, the DOJ is in my view knowingly giving the corporate media and the DNC ammunition to attack and marginalize the alternative media right before the US elections.
Let’s cut to the core of this situation:
1) The DOJ has offered no evidence so far to substantiate these accusations. Maybe they are real, maybe they’re not, but the establishment has a track record of making up fake Russian conspiracies to derail conservatives (Russiagate). We’ll have to wait and see.
2) Even if these outlets did end up with Russian money, what did it change? Tim Pool and others were already arguing the same positions before Tenet Media offered them cash.
3) By extension, why would Russia pay conservatives millions of dollars to say what they were already saying?
4) This question continues to bother me and I have to wonder if the whole scenario is a psy-op to link the alternative media to Russia by association. You can already see the accusations in the establishment media and on social media:
“How far has Russian influence invaded the right-wing media? Maybe ALL of them are on Putin’s payroll…”
I predicted this EXACT outcome way back in 2014 – That conflict with Russia and the liberty movement’s associations with outlets like RT (whether real or fabricated) would be used to falsely indict all conservative journalists as traitors.
In my article ‘When War Erupts Patriots Will Be Accused Of “Aiding The Enemy”’, published ten years ago in September of 2014, I outlined why I believed a war with Russia (both economic and kinetic) was inevitable along with my concerns over the establishment’s attempts to attach the liberty media to Russia Today and other Kremlin funded platforms. I dissected one such propaganda piece by The Atlantic and noted:
“The fact based reporting of RT, at least when it comes to the Western side of the globalist establishment, mimics the alternative journalism growing in popularity in the U.S. At bottom, RT is a newcomer to the world of independent news analysis, but it is ultimately NOT independent, and most of what they do amounts to little more than regurgitated content from more original and insightful Western independent media sources…”
“The Atlantic article [cited in the link above], very cleverly, makes it sound as if it is we witless writers in America who are getting all our info and inspiration from RT. And this is where we begin to see the true nature of the psy-op…”
“…Today, conflict with Russia, at the very least on an economic scale, is an inevitability…The narrative that is being constructed is clear – the establishment hopes to rewrite the history and image of the liberty movement by painting us as dupes radicalized by Russian propaganda, rather than being the originators of our own grassroots movement with our own philosophy and methodology. Through this, they take away our ownership of our own cause.”
I also addressed those people in the movement that, at the time, seemed to deny all Russian ties to globalist institutions without question. I warned against this adoration of eastern governments and made the point that they are not our saviors.
“…By blindly supporting Russia or the Russian government without considering their participation in the globalist run crisis, liberty activists help reinforce the soon-to-be manufactured lie that we are nothing but puppets of the Putin regime. If we publicly question the intentions of the Russian government as much as we question our own government, we can help to defuse this lie before it can take hold.”
“…Mark my words, one day our activism will be deemed treason, and our rebellion will be marginalized as a servant satellite astro-turf movement organized by Russian interests.”
I think the majority of my predictions from 2014 have been proven accurate and readers are welcome to read through that article in its entirety for the bigger picture. But what does all this mean?
The Tenet Media situation is just the beginning. Whether it’s really a Russian operation or something else, the narrative clearly only serves one purpose – To discredit alternative media sources. It doesn’t matter if Tim Pool or Dave Rubin or anyone else actually got money from Putin’s own pocket. It also doesn’t matter if they were lied to and they had no idea where the cash was really coming from.
The establishment only has to plant the seed of doubt in the minds of the masses that the former scenario MIGHT be happening. It’s intended to make the alternative media look corrupt, or, easily fooled, and the average Democrat is dumb enough to believe it. Let’s not mention the fact that governments, NGOs and globalist think-tanks (the Atlantic Council) have been funding pro-Ukraine propaganda as well as progressive propaganda in the news for years.
And though some people might think this problem will be quickly forgotten, don’t believe for a second that it’s going away for good. The far-left will run with this story in different iterations right up until the November election and beyond, never relenting. Will it work? Probably not. I don’t see a lot of people outside of the political left that care much, but it depends on a lot of factors. With Kamala Harris in office in 2025 the Russian “influence” accusations will be endless. It will become the new January 6th.
This incident should also act as a reminder that the alternative media needs to remain skeptical of eastern government agendas as much as we are skeptical of our own government. If there is indeed Russian money chasing conservative platforms, then it is either intended to buy influence or create division within the movement. Neither outcome should be allowed.
The media will accuse us of being Russian pawns regardless of what we do, but we don’t have to help them along. That said, if instability erupts in the west it will not be because of Putin. Putin has not been trying to force us into a socialist dystopia for the past several years, leftists and globalists have. If civil war breaks out, it will be because leftists gave us no other choice. Russia is irrelevant to the issue.

These Are The States With The Most Million-Dollar Homes
Million-dollar homes are becoming more common, with the U.S. having 621 cities where a typical home is worth $1 million or more.
While high interest rates have caused commercial real estate prices to fall, it hasn’t had the same impact on the residential market. Housing inventory has increased, but it still remains below average historical levels. At the same time, while mortgage rates have fallen, U.S. home prices continue to climb, nearing record highs.
This graphic, via Visual Capitalist’s Dorothy Neufeld, shows the number of cities in each U.S. state where a typical home costs $1 million or more, based on data from Zillow.
Ranked: The Number of Million-Dollar Cities, by State
Below, we show the number of cities where a typical home (the average home in the 35th to 65th percentile) costs $1 million or more by state:
| Rank | State | Number of Million-Dollar Cities |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | California | 218 |
| 2 | New York | 76 |
| 3 | New Jersey | 60 |
| 4 | Massachusetts | 44 |
| 5 | Florida | 30 |
| 6 | Washington | 23 |
| 7 | Colorado | 22 |
| 7 | Hawaii | 22 |
| 9 | Texas | 17 |
| 10 | Maryland | 11 |

| 32 | Georgia | 1 |
| 32 | Kansas | 1 |
| 32 | Maine | 1 |
| 32 | Oregon | 1 |
| Total: | 621 |
As of July 31, 2024
California has more million-dollar cities than the next four states combined, with Atherton standing as the most expensive city, where a typical home costs $7.5 million.
Today, a typical home in California costs more than twice as much as a typical U.S. home, with residents paying almost $6,000 on monthly payments for a newly-purchased mid-tier home. These costs include mortgage payments, homeowners insurance, and taxes. Since February 2023, the state has added 20 cities where a typical home costs $1 million or more.
Following next in line is New York, with 76 million-dollar cities. A separate report shows that the price of single family homes jumped by 10.9% annually since the first quarter of 2023, giving the state some of the fastest-rising house prices in America.
Ranking in third is New Jersey, which saw one of the greatest increases in million-dollar cities overall since February 2023.
As we can see, there are 15 states without any million-dollar cities, mainly in the Midwest and South. These states are known for having greater housing affordability, and a lower cost of living, but fewer job prospects amid weak labor market activity.

Tropical Storm Gordon Forecast Discussion
297 WTNT42 KNHC 140240 TCDAT2 Tropical Storm Gordon Discussion Number 11 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072024 1100 PM AST Fri Sep 13 2024 A 13/2045 UTC CSA RADARSAT Constellation Mission VH polarization image indicated that Gordon's surface center was farther east than previously indicated. Subsequently, the surface center has become more obscured while the convective mass has expanded somewhat over the western portion of the cyclone. A blend of the subjective Dvorak satellite intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB yields an intensity of 40 kt for this advisory. Although the statistical SHIPS intensity guidance shows the westerly shear gradually diminishing through the period, the dry, stable thermodynamic surrounding environment is expected to be the primary inhibiting parameter. Gordon could degenerate to a remnant low around mid-period, although not shown explicitly in the NHC forecast. Beyond day 3, the official forecast shows gradual re-strengthening while atmospheric conditions become less hostile. The NHC intensity forecast is similar to the previous advisory and based on the IVCN intensity consensus and below the Decay SHIPS statistical guidance. Gordon's initial motion is estimated to be westward or 280/8 kt and is steered by a low- to mid-tropospheric ridge extending west-southwestward from high pressure over the Azores. The cyclone should continue slowly toward the west to west-southwest during the next 72 hours. Afterward, a break in the subtropical ridge over the central Atlantic is forecast in response to an amplifying mid- to upper-level trough. As Gordon approaches this growing weakness in the ridge, the cyclone should turn toward the northwest and north. This forecast track scenario, however, assumes that the cyclone strengthens toward the end of the period. Only a slight adjustment to the left of the previous forecast beyond day 3 was made to lie closer to the TVCN consensus aid.

Tropical Storm Ileana Forecast Discussion
750 WTPZ44 KNHC 140236 TCDEP4 Tropical Storm Ileana Discussion Number 7 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP092024 800 PM MST Fri Sep 13 2024 Tropical Storm Ileana is gradually becoming less organized as it skirts the southern coast of Baja California Sur. Infrared satellite imagery shows convection being stripped away from the low-level circulation and radar imagery from Cabo San Lucas still shows a poorly organized, elongated center. Based on the degraded presentation of the storm and the earlier ASCAT data, the initial intensity is set to 35 kt for this advisory. The storm is moving northward at 8 kt, and the center is expected to begin pulling away from the coast of Baja California Sur in the next couple of hours. This motion should continue through most of Saturday before the weakening cyclone turns more north-northwestward over the Gulf of California. The track guidance has shifted eastwards slightly, largely due to the initial position, and new NHC track forecast lies between the consensus aids and the previous prediction. Vertical wind shear is expected to increase dramatically over Ileana in the next day or so. The model guidance is in good agreement that weakening should continue, and the official intensity forecast now shows Ileana becoming a depression by Saturday, a remnant low by Sunday, and dissipated by early next week. However, it is possible this could occur sooner. Key Messages: 1. Tropical Storm Ileana will bring heavy rainfall to portions of western Mexico and southern Baja California Sur through this weekend. This heavy rainfall will bring a risk of flash flooding and mudslides to portions of the area. 2. Tropical storm conditions could continue in portions of Baja California Sur during the next several hours where Tropical Storm Warnings are in effect.

Harris Interview with Local Pennsylvania Reporter Turns into Disaster
Vice President Kamala Harris, during her second interview on Friday since joining the race, undermined her record in the Biden-Harris administration by stating the administration’s policies are not fit for the “twenty-first century.”
Harris faces a conundrum: She cannot campaign on policies to fix crime, inflation, and border security without undermining the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, but she must tout the administration’s policies to validate her record and candidacy.
Speaking with Brian Taff of Philadelphia’s Action News 6 ABC, as the Harris campaign promised she would Thursday after she was slammed for failing to answer questions during Tuesday’s debate, Harris suggested she has a fresh “approach” with “new ideas” for the “current moment.”
“I wonder if there are one or two spots, policy areas or approaches where you would say I’m a different person [than Joe Biden]?” asked Taff.
“My approach is about new ideas, new policies that are directed at the current moment. And also, to be very honest with you, my focus is very much in what we need to do over the next ten twenty years to catch up to the twenty first century,” Harris replied.
“I’m obviously not Joe Biden, and you know, I offer a new generation of leadership,” she said, providing examples that the Biden-Harris administration failed to achieve, such as helping citizens achieve the American dream:
And so, for example, thinking about developing and creating an opportunity economy where it’s about investing in areas that really need a lot of work, and maybe focusing on again, the aspirations and the dreams, but also just recognizing that at this moment in time, some of the stuff we could take for granted years ago, we can’t take for granted anymore. For example, another plan that I have that is a new approach is to expand the child tax credit to $6,000 for young families for the first year of their child’s life, because that is obviously a very critical stage of development of a child, and a lot of young parents need the help to buy a car seat or a crib or clothes for their kids.
Taff also asked Harris how she would go about bringing “down prices and making life more affordable for people.”
Harris responded with the same rehearsed answer she used in the debate. “I grew up a middle class kid,” Harris replied, again ignoring the question. As Breitbart News reported, Harris’s claim is “mostly false.” Harris grew up with an affluent Canadian upbringing, growing up in Westmount.
When asked what she understands former President Donald Trump’s “appeal to be and how do you speak to his voters [about it],” Harris delivered a word salad and did not answer the question directly.
“I, based on experience and and a lived experience, know in my heart, I know in my soul, I know that the vast majority of us as Americans have so much more in common than what separates us,” she rambled. “And I also believe that I am accurate in knowing that most Americans want a leader who brings us together as Americans, and not someone who professes to be a leader who is trying to have us point our fingers at each other.”
“Let’s bring everybody together,” she said.
Harris lastly said she wants to ban guns. “I feel very strongly that it is consistent with the second amendment and your right to own a gun to say that we need an assault weapons ban,” she said. “They’re literally tools of war.”
“We’re not taking anybody’s guns away,” she added in the same breath.
