I'm alerting everyone with a big Red Flag as this being possibly FAKE News. Take note, the information at the end of the video comes from Michael Baxter of 'RealRawNews', a satirical fake news outlet. Nothing that I ever seen coming from Michael Baxter is credible. Buyer beware.
This is what I believe is a form of AgiProp that serves to recruit useful idiots and by discrediting the publisher (you) it acts as a form of plausible deniability for the website's real purpose. IMHO these websites like RealRawNews are paid CIA/FBI fronts. This is what Hal Turner's website is. Without careful vetting, it is easy to fall for these clickbait websites. When those outrageous articles are shared on sites like GAW, it has a way of staining the whole board as a 'conspiracy theory' website and spreading 'misinformation'. It all comes back to former CIA director, William Casey's statement and who ultimately benefits.
From u/FractalizingIron and his research on Michael Baxter, he wrote:
Michael Baxter, along with his mate Dimitry something or other, have been doing fake and clickbait news for a few years at least.
NewsPunch, etc. Ran into them in 2018, when the Great Awakening was getting started, and they had very clearly fake and bogus news stories, like stories about Brad Pit doing something or other, saying stuff, etc, no references, no clear sourcing, bad journalism, even tacky discourse that no trained writer would use, etc.
They may have tried to refine themselves since then, to latch onto and exploit the patriot movement (back then they were clearly targeting the more 'conspiracy' minded - by which I mean, those undiscerning people who latch onto theories without evidence, or sauce, or logical due diligence, etc - so I say: #Grifter
I give Baxter and Dimitry (who may even be Baxter) no credence whatsoever, based on what I saw of them in 2018 (back then anons would occasionally link them, and when I followed up to validate, check and research, would come up with bunkus).
Cheers.
*PS. Bards FM Scott K referenced a Baxter site, Real Raw News, in one of his podcasts. Scott K is VERY legit, but I don't listen to him enough to know if he ever followed up or had his team research enough into RRN and what they concluded. Myself, however, - ZERO credence to RRN.
/u/FractalizingIron PS. A Baxter Dimitry used to write for Your News Wire, which apparently rebranded itself as NewsPunch.
Maybe Baxter Dimitry has no connection or relation to Michael Baxter, but they certainly seem to trade in the same sort of news. Possibly I jumped the gun by confusing these two dudes.
There is yet another (or same) Michael Baxter:

https://twitter.com/michaelbaxter_
https://muckrack.com/michael-baxter/articles
Maybe no connection. Needs more digging.
Anyway, look at the ABOUT US page at RRN: About Real Raw News. Real Raw News tried to bring light to topics often ignored by others.
"Tried to bring light" past tense. English teacher?
Real Raw News is owned and operated by Michael Baxter, a former mainstream journalist and former English teacher. I can be reached at [email protected] I delete all trollish email without reading them. 'formerly a mainstream journalist' would be a much better phrase structure. This guy writes like a full-blown amatuer.
"I can be reached" - wow. VERY colloquial. Not very journalistic language at all. "People can reach me" would be acceptable, as would be "I can be contacted at" but "I can be reached at" is just, well, lame and rather off.

Meh.
PPS. The fonts, structure and style are VERY similar to what YourNEwsWire and NewsPunch have used. This was one of the things that suggested to my mind that Baxter Dimitry and Michael Baxter may in fact be the same guy.
