The US Justice Department on Tuesday charged the founder and three members of a half-century-old Black nationalist group with working with Russian intelligence to influence elections in the United States.

 

Omali Ye<deleted>ela, the founder of the African People's Socialist Party (APSP) and the Uhuru Movement, and two other party members, Penny Joanne Hess and Jesse Nevel, were charged with acting as unregistered agents of Russia, which carries a maximum five-year prison sentence.

 

All three, as well as another member named Augustus Romain, have also been charged with conspiring to act as agents for Russia, which brings up to 10 years in prison.

So Alexander Viktorovich Ionov is mixed up in this.

 

He’s also been involved in finding white nationalist extremism in the US and US Cessation Groups.

Yes, it's mostly been white nationalists by far.

Putin basically wants to help divide the US to death but frankly we're doing that very well ourselves without foreign assistance.

But in any case by all means go after these vile Putin's poodles of all colors.

Home grown Identity Politics is doing a fantastic job of sowing hatred and division amongst the various groups in the US.

UPDATE: U.S. Citizens and Russian Intelligence Officers Charged with Conspiring to Use U.S. Citizens as Illegal Agents of the Russian Government

 

A federal grand jury in Tampa, Florida, returned a superseding indictment charging four U.S. citizens and three Russian nationals with working on behalf of the Russian government and in conjunction with the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) to conduct a multi-year foreign malign influence campaign in the United States. Among other conduct, the superseding indictment alleges that the Russian defendants recruited, funded and directed U.S. political groups to act as unregistered illegal agents of the Russian government and sow discord and spread pro-Russian propaganda; the indicted intelligence officers, in particular, participated in covertly funding and directing candidates for local office within the United States.

 

“Today’s announcement paints a harrowing picture of Russian government actions and the lengths to which the FSB will go to interfere with our elections, sow discord in our nation and ultimately recruit U.S citizens to their efforts,” said Acting Assistant Director Kurt Ronnow of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division.

However, one has to be a nutter to conspire with Russia. Most people sharing the same feeling don't do that, and there are plenty of other ways to promote a cause without siding with Russia.
