I agree that this should be discussed more. But always with the important observation that in this case it's not anti-democrats trying to smear democrats; it's the opposite, it's democrats exposing corrupt anti-democrats.
- acqq 7y ago> t's democrats exposing corrupt anti-democrats. It is not “democrats” but some hidden power.
- kerng 7y agoAfter reading the article it seems that at this point no-one knows who is really behind this. Could be a foreign government, could be a comedian, could be another political party,... Or did I miss something?
- tom_mellior 7y agoI think the general consensus seems to be that this was a large-scale operation (the woman groomed Gudenus over half a year or so before the Ibiza meeting) that points to a very professional actor. But yeah, everybody is guessing. This article guesses at a western intelligence service that wanted to stop intelligence leaks towards Russia: https://diepresse.com/home/innenpolitik/5630280/Woher-kommt-das-StracheVideo https://diepresse.com/home/innenpolitik/5630280/Woher-kommt-...
- Grustaf 7y agoHow on earth do you know that the smearers are ”democrats”?
- tom_mellior 7y agoFair enough. Anti-fascist anti-corruption fighters who are possibly not democrats. BTW, it's not a smear if it's true. Smearing involves false accusations, but nobody denies the authenticity of the video.
