The following is a lesson in how the Establishment’s brainwashing complex works.
Due to the compressed time frame of the campaign, the Media-Intelligence-Big Tech brainwashing machine is working in overdrive and rushing to produce its bulls**t at such a rapid pace that We the People can actually see it happen in real time.
For example, let’s look at the Vance couch story—all the elements are clearly laid out and it is one of the vilest lies available.
The Dear Kamala campaign is using a bit of fake news to insult J.D. Vance in rallies, tweets, and through their social media influencers. And TV comics are amplifying it, ensuring that the slur is spread far and wide.
Tim Walz is accusing J.D. Vance of having sex with a couch–slyly, of course–but out in the open. It is a remarkable bit of slander, and it was planned weeks ago, even before Walz got into the race.
NOTE: The Associated Press was in on the conspiracy to do this, and if the organization were a genuine news outlet, journalists and editors would be fired, drawn and quartered, and have their entrails strewn across the land.
No matter how much you hate the media,
you really, REALLY do not hate them enough.
The sequence used by the media-industrial complex to make this happen:
First, some demented immoral fool came up with an absurd accusation that nobody would believe: J.D. Vance wrote in his autobiography that he had sex with a couch. It was then posted on Twitter to an account that almost nobody followed.
Business Insider spoke to the man who started the "JD Vance fucked a couch" meme, Twitter user "rickrudescalves."
He partially defended making the false claim by appealing to a non-journalistic conception of "truth." https://t.co/y5aYStDZUf pic.twitter.com/YJHPsi11XE

Over the past week, for every seven people searching Google for ‘JD Vance,’ one person has searched ‘JD Vance couch,’ according to Google Trends. Memes of Vance fantasizing about living-room furnishings have flooded the internet. Despite being, very obviously, a joke, the post was debunked in two fact-checks by mainstream media outlets — one by Snopes and one by The Associated Press (which later deleted the fact-check from its website). Foreseeably and perversely, those debunkings propelled Couch Discourse into the mainstream.
The rumor’s spread has also heralded a new style of online engagement from Democrats. In marked contrast to the Obama-era decorum of ‘when they go low, we go high,’ Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has embraced a tongue-in-cheek tone, including writing on X, ‘JD Vance does not couch his hatred for women.’
The culprit claims he did it on his own, but that is almost certainly bulls**t. It is possible, but unlikely since it, like the Associated Press “fact check,” came and went after it did its job of injecting the couch discourse into the world.
It was literally not a thing until the Associated Press decided to amplify it, and somebody fed it to them to do so. Any normal reporter—one possessing ethical standards—would have passed, and even the AP admitted that the fact check should never have been published because it did not meet their standards. Where the “fact check” was is now a blank page saying the story did not go through its normal editing process.
Hmm. Yeah. It existed simply to create this meme.

But they did it, and they did it for an obvious reason. The Associated Press is the most influential news organization in the world. When they do something, it goes out effectively to every other news organization in the world because they subscribe to it.
We at Townhall Media use their photo library, for instance, since obviously, we don’t have photographers everywhere. Most news sources subscribe to the AP because they don’t have reporters everywhere, so the AP fills that hole.
Imagine the excitement of reporters to see such a salacious story! The AP gave them an opportunity to discuss something salacious. Everybody can claim it is a joke, but everybody also knows it is a slur with a purpose to make J.D. Vance “weird.”
Hence, it gets amplified and spread, getting back on Twitter and is now fair game.
The AP retracted their fact check about JD Vance having intimate relations with a couch, because they couldn't prove he hadn't.
But I think we can all agree, the couch almost certainly didn't enjoy it.#ShillbillyVance #CushionPushinJDVance pic.twitter.com/AoVULa6vNW

Suddenly, major accounts with hundreds of thousands or even millions of followers are talking about the issue.
Nobody BELIEVES the story, of course, but it is a destructive smear, nonetheless.

This is too weird to be true, but now desperate and unethical Tim Walz and Kamala Harris are using it at their rallies and on Twitter.
Picture stolen valor Tim Walz saying:
It is weird, and J.D. Vance is weird, and did you know he f**ked a couch?
It clouds the issue of his own disgusting faults.
Walz referencing a false story about Vance. “See what I did there?”
Some Republicans have been frustrated more media isn’t smacking down this kind of stuff, charging that it would be panned as disinformation if it were an attack on the left. https://t.co/CXQNqpH22c

Salena Zito asks the obvious question:
Why isn’t anybody asking the Harris/Walz team why they are spreading this disgusting calumny? After all, they are putting decency back into the White House or something, right? They are the good guys, right?
The answer is obvious:
The media isn’t challenging Walz or Harris
because they are PARTNERS in crime with them.
Since no one my profession seems to be asking Walz or Harris any questions, whether you like Trump or not, that shouldn’t get in the way of pointing out a lie.
Trump disavowed project 2025 weeks ago & since I’m at it, why has no one touched Walz on the crass Vance/couch lie? https://t.co/lg4FA4eev6— ZitoSalena (@ZitoSalena) August 7, 2024
The communist/globalist crime syndicate had planned to use this line of attack, invented it, planted it with the Associated Press, and nurtured it to the point they could assert, slyly, that J.D. Vance is so weird he screws couches.
Like all regular people in America's heartland, JD Vance studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, and wrote a bestseller trashing that community.
Come on.

Obviously, the whole scheme to make this happen is more complicated than this and is likely to be part of a larger brainwashing scheme they will be rolling out over the next couple months, but We the People see the outlines clearly.
The Associated Press “fact check” was the key to the whole scheme.
A “news” story was planted, got the ball rolling, and then was rapidly pulled to hide the critical role it played in creating a disgusting smear being used by the Vice Presidential candidate of the communist/globalist crime syndicate.
Lying and creating narratives is what they exist to do.
They have the power to abuse, so they abuse it.
🚨🚨🚨 Bloomberg CAUGHT Covering-Up Tim Waltz STOLEN VALOR:
Waltz ran for office on the lie that he's a "combat veteran" who served in Iraq. In fact, he deserted his fellow guardsmen.
Bloomberg just stealth-edited their puff-piece revealing Waltz actually was in… ITALY

Final thought: The Left are hateful bastards, indeed.
