Fediverse vs Disinformation
Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

Yep.
He's referred to as a financier or philanthropist in a good deal of like, lifestyles of the rich and famous type profile pieces, over the years...
And no one can figure out where his money actually came from.
Another angle here is this:
To some extent, Mossad literally does (or maybe did) operate as a US directed agency, but a plausibly deniable asset.
They carry out things 'we' want done, but won't sully 'our' name with, when its too dirty, too much collateral damage. We pretend to be moral and scold them from time to time, behind closed doors its all smiles.
Lately, turns out the Israelis are both more brutal and more clever than... well basically the entire upper echelons of US tech/intel/political systems, and they managed to basically flip that equation on its head, they've apparently got kompromat on what, just, anyone who's been in politics in the US for more than 10 years, at this point?
Hell, if you ask something like half of the right wingers in this country right now, they'll tell you they're pretty sure Mossad killed Charlie Kirk, after he told Israeli donors he wouldn't take their money anymore, that he couldn't keep being that pro-Israel.
