Russian Trolls Have Hijacked This Forum

It almost seems like we are back in the cold war days, struggling with Russian propaganda and the communist international. Back in the cold war days, they latched on to the left wing and embraced their causes and funded people like Martin Luther King. Today, they have latched onto the right wing, by supporting Donald Trump.

They are using the same ol' tactics of subversion, infiltration, secret societies, and front organizations. I'm curious to see how far Donald Trump will go to pander to Russia, and their fascist neo-Eurasian agendas.

According to Mueller’s report, the IRA began creating fake Facebook accounts and small groups as early as 2014.

“IRA employees operated social media accounts and group pages designed to attract U.S. audiences,” the report reads. “These groups and accounts, which addressed divisive U.S. political and social issues, falsely claimed to be controlled by U.S. activists."

The lines up with what we already knew about the IRA’s activity. One of its first large-scale misinformation projects was the Columbian Chemicals Plant explosion hoax in September 2014, when IRA members created a completely fake explosion at a chemical plant in Louisiana. “The perpetrators didn’t just doctor screenshots from CNN; they also created fully functional clones of the websites of Louisiana TV stations and newspapers,” the New York Times wrote about the hoax.
