A Ukrainian journalist has offered to pay me thousands of dollars of dark money to push pro-Ukraine propaganda. According to him, he already has other journalists on his payroll and would pay me more than the average Ukrainian makes in a month for a couple tweets. THREAD: š§µ
The Counter SignalĀ founder Keean Bexte has been offered thousands of dollars of dark money to push pro-Ukrainian propaganda across his massive Twitter following.Ā
Keean Bexte offered thousands to push pro-Ukraine propaganda.
Bexte was contacted on Twitter by a user named Volodymyr Kuzma, and offered $200 for each tweet in support of Ukraine. Kuzma asked Bexte to tweet several times per week. He also said he already has other journalists on his payroll.
āWould you consider posting links to human rights articles on your Twitter page?ā Kuzma said in a message to Bexte, who has more than 215,000 followers on Twitter.Ā
āThese articles are published in well-known publications such as Amnesty, Reuters, DW, etc,ā Kuzma continued.Ā
Kuzma then listed some example articles and said, āI am also willing to pay for each post published.ā
Facial recognition technology revealed that Kuzma is a Ukrainian journalist. Kuzma told Bexte he represents the organization āHumans Virtue.āĀ
He also told Bexte not to credit āHumans Virtueā for the posts, but to publish them anonymously, saying āno links to Humans Virtue are required.ā
āI will be given a list with links in a few days. The articles are ready, you will need to choose one from the list and publish it.ā
In another message, Kuzma asked Bexte what he thought about the war in Ukraine.Ā
āI am Ukrainian, I live in Ukraine at the moment,ā he said.
On Twitter, Bexte questioned where Kuzma is getting his massive cash flow from. TheĀ average salaryĀ in Ukraine was around $845 USD per month in 2021.
ā Is this our own tax money being funnelled through Ukraine to buy off people to support their cause,ā Bexte questioned
āI thought Ukraine was on the good side ā why are they buying off journalists?ā
The efforts come amid escalation between Russia and NATO, which has backed the Ukraine through weapons, training and precious military intel. Both NATO and Russia are holding nuclear bomb drills this month and both groups have accused the other of ramping up nuclear bomb threats.Ā
Not surprisingly, Keenan isnāt the only journalist who has been solicited by Volodymyr Kuzma to promulgate propaganda for the Ukrainian regime.

American Rebel News journalist Jeremy Loffredo says he was offered money in exchange for sharing āRussian human rights abusesā on his account amid Russiaās ongoing conflict with the Ukraine.
Journalist offered money to push āRussian human rights abusesā
Loffredo, an investigative journalist in New York City, has more than 19,000 Twitter followers.Ā
āA Ukraine flag account reached out to me with an offer,ā he wrote on Twitter.
āI post mainstream media reports highlighting Russian human rights abuses and in return for engaging in the info war, I will receive cash payments.ā
In the now-viral tweet, Loffredo shared a photo of the offer, which came from an account named Volodymyr Kuzma.Ā
The Counter SignalĀ founder Keean Bexte has also been offered thousands to pushĀ pro-UkrainianĀ propaganda across his massive Twitter following.Ā Bexte was contacted on Twitter by Kuzma, and offered $200 for each tweet in support of Ukraine.
Kuzma asked Bexte to tweet several times per week. He also said he already has other journalists on his payroll.
In a comment beneath Loffredoās tweet, Australian Rebel News reporter Avi Yemini says he was given the same offer, accompanied by a photo of the exchange. Yemini has nearly 330,000 followers on Twitter.Ā
In a statement toĀ The Counter Singal, Loffredo said the user had many accounts under the same name, most of which were made in 2022.Ā
āThe account was disabled after I tweeted a screenshot of their message,ā he said. āProbably messaging people under another name now.
Indeed, the account appears to be deleted. A search for the username on Twitter results with āThis account does not exist,ā though the username shows up in previous tweets.Ā
Loffredo also took a critical stance on the west funding Ukraineās war efforts.Ā
āAside from buying billions of dollars worth of missiles and weaponry, the U.S. taxpayer is evidently also paying for these half-baked info warfare operations which are probably run out of some Ukrainian NGO that got a piece of western aid package money,ā he toldĀ The Counter Signal.Ā
Ukrainian forces are armed with US and NATO weapons given by western countries, who trained Ukrainian troops on the equipment.Ā
Speaking at the NATO leaders summit in Madrid in June, PM Justin Trudeau told the world that the best use of Canadian weapons is just to give them to Ukraine.
At a college campus event last week, far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was heckled for āvoting to start a nuclear warā by sending military aid to Ukraine.
āCongresswoman! None of this matters unless thereās a nuclear war, which you voted to send arms and weapons to Ukraine,ā one protester shouted.
Amid escalation, both NATO and Russia are holding nuclear bomb drills this month. Moreover, both groups have accused the other of ramping up nuclear bomb threats.Ā
I certainly hope that more people come forward who have been approached and/or paid to publish propaganda promoting the false narratives of the corrupt Ukrainian regime.
Fear porn punters! I must admit to being way beyond caring these days! So bored of it all!
