News Russian internet trolls hired to pose as pro-Trump Americans

[Bladewire]

On political website their Facebook accounts are all obviously fake and they post in waves saying the same talking point. Before I always thought is was the #NeverTrump people but now it makes more sense why they don't post like Americans do.

--------------------

In his research from St. Petersburg, Chen discovered that Russian internet trolls ? paid by the Kremlin to spread false information on the internet ? have been behind a number of "highly coordinated campaigns" to deceive the American public.

It's a brand of information warfare, known as "dezinformatsiya," that has been used by the Russians since at least the Cold War. The disinformation campaigns are only one "active measure" tool used by Russian intelligence to "sow discord among," and within, allies perceived hostile to Russia.

"An active measure is a time-honored KGB tactic for waging informational and psychological warfare," Michael Weiss, a senior editor at The Daily Beast and editor-in-chief of The Interpreter ? an online magazine that translates and analyzes political, social, and economic events inside the Russian Federation ? wrote on Tuesday.

He continued (emphasis added):

"It is designed, as retired KGB General Oleg Kalugin once defined it, 'to drive wedges in the Western community alliances of all sorts, particularly NATO, to sow discord among allies, to weaken the United States in the eyes of the people in Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and thus to prepare ground in case the war really occurs.' The most common subcategory of active measures is dezinformatsiya, or disinformation: feverish, if believable lies cooked up by Moscow Centre and planted in friendly media outlets to make democratic nations look sinister."

It is not surprising, then, that the Kremlin would pay internet trolls to pose as Trump supporters and build him up online. In fact, that would be the easy part.

From his interviews with former trolls employed by Russia, Chen gathered that the point of their jobs "was to weave propaganda seamlessly into what appeared to be the nonpolitical musings of an everyday person."

"Russia's information war might be thought of as the biggest trolling operation in history," Chen wrote. "And its target is nothing less than the utility of the Internet as a democratic space." FULL STORY

How many hours a day would you say you spend on the internet posting pro-trump shit?

Very strange for someone that has nothing to do with the US and refuses to reveal what country he lives in to spend every waking moment for the past year being so obsessed about Trump. Trump supporters from the US don't even spend half the time you do. Very fucking weird.

Trump Calls On Russia To Hack Into Clinton's Emails : NPR
Dirtbag at work

Donald Trump urged Russian agents to "find" his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's emails and release them, an unprecedented move by a candidate for president encouraging such a foreign breach.

"Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing," the GOP presidential nominee said at a news conference in Miami on Wednesday. "I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press."

Donald Trump probably won't pay the Russian hacker's bill either -- what a dirtbag.

>"sow discord among"

It was sarcasm, a joke. I didn't get the memo that presidents of the us can't be funny or have a sense of humor. Ok, now I'm anti-trump and going to put on cnn right now.
