Pawns & Propaganda: How Influencers Got Checkmated by the Kremlin

In this explosive episode of Firing Lane, we dive into the recent Department of Justice revelations that several prominent Con Inc influencers were unknowingly paid by Kremlin-backed operatives to spread Russian propaganda. From influencers like Tim Pool and Benny Johnson crying victimhood to the larger implications for modern conservatism, we break down how emotional populism left these influencers vulnerable to manipulation.

We'll explore how a $10 million scheme through Tenet Media funneled Kremlin cash to promote narratives that aligned with Russia’s goals, particularly around sowing discord over Ukraine. The influencers, unknowingly acting as pawns, played right into Moscow’s hands—all while cashing huge checks. This scandal highlights a broader issue within conservatism today: the shift from substantive principles to shallow outrage and emotional manipulation, leaving the movement open to exploitation by bad actors.

We’ll also talk about the historical parallels to Soviet disinformation tactics and why it’s time for conservatism to return to its intellectual roots of prudence, liberty, and moral order before it’s completely co-opted by reactionary populism.
