		<description>Remember, these are armaments for those violent progressive liberals we keep hearing about...

The bricks and bats need to be sustainably and locally sourced and hammers and chains must be &#039;fair trade&#039; certified and smelted using renewable energy... you have to pay a premium for all that.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thedailybeast.com/oan-trumps-new-favorite-channel-employs-kremlin-paid-journalist&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Kristian Brunovich Rouz, originally from the Siberian city of Novosibirsk&lt;/a&gt;, has been living in San Diego, where OAN is based, since August 2017, reporting on U.S. politics for the 24-hour news channel. For all of that time, he’s been simultaneously writing for Sputnik, a Kremlin-owned news wire that played a role in Russia’s 2016 election-interference operation, according to an assessment by the U.S. intelligence community.

Rouz’s on-air reports for OAN include a wholly fabricated 2017 segment claiming Hillary Clinton is secretly bankrolling antifa through her political action committee. Clinton, Rouz claimed falsely, gave antifa protesters $800,000 that “went toward things like bricks, hammers, bats, and chains.” 

Other smears target billionaire financier George Soros, a longtime Kremlin bête noire. In one segment, Rouz amplified a thoroughly debunked claim that Soros collaborated with the Nazis during World War II, when the Jewish philanthropist was 14 years old. Another Rouz story accused Soros of secretly funding migrant caravans.

Kremlin propaganda sometimes sneaks into Rouz’s segments on unrelated matters, dropped in as offhand background information. A segment on the Syrian rescue workers known as the White Helmets references “allegations of the White Helmets’ involvement in military activities, executions, and numerous war atrocities,” but doesn’t disclose that those “allegations” were hoaxes that originated with Vladimir Putin and his proxies. 

In another report, Rouz cast Clinton’s criticism of Brexit as an extension of her “grievous insults and fake narratives against Russia”—an assertion that makes sense only in the context of Rouz’s multiple reports claiming Russia was framed for hacking Democrats.

In all of Rouz’s OAN segments reviewed by The Daily Beast, he is introduced as a “One America correspondent,” with no disclosure of his work for Russia’s state-owned media, where he continues to file stories daily, primarily on economic news. 

“This completes the merger between Russian state-sponsored propaganda and American conservative media,” said former FBI agent Clint Watts, a research fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute. “We used to think of it as ‘They just have the same views’ or ‘They use the same story leads.’ But now they have the same personnel.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Trump tweeted this, today...without ANY evidence, in contradiction to all the facts...
&lt;blockquote&gt;Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN
  I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?&lt;/blockquote&gt;



&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-calls-buffalo-protester-martin-gugino-antifa-provocateur/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;President Trump suggested without evidence Tuesday morning &lt;/a&gt;that an elderly man who was hospitalized after being shoved to the ground by police in Buffalo, New York, was an &quot;ANTIFA provocateur&quot; who may have been trying to &quot;set up&quot; law enforcement.

Mr. Trump referenced a segment by the conservative One America News Network that claimed the 75-year-old man, identified as Martin Gugino, was using technology on his cellphone to scan and black out police communications during the protest. The reporter for the network, Kristian Rouz, who previously worked for the Russian outlet Sputnik, did not cite any evidence to back up his claims about Gugino and only referenced a report from &quot;The Conservative Treehouse,&quot; a right-wing blog.

In his tweet, Mr. Trump claimed Gugino, who is a longtime local peace activist, &quot;fell harder than he was pushed&quot; by officers with the Buffalo Police Department during the incident last week and said he was &quot;aiming [a] scanner&quot; towards the police. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>This is a war... inhuman fascists have been allowed to feel comfortable expressing their brutality without consequences.

They have been murdering African Americans, and latinos with impunity, and they finally got a president that encouraged such atrocities and came up with new ones ... caging children, ripping babies from their parents.

And now it seems possible that they may be held to account for all the evil they have done... and THAT  terrifies them.

It should.
