Secret Experiment in Alabama Senate Race Imitated Russian Tactics

wow. we're in investigation hell over the tactics the russians used. heads must roll. how dare they do such a thing to us!!!

then suddenly - hey, let's do that too!!!

"The project’s operators created a Facebook page on which they posed as conservative Alabamians, using it to try to divide Republicans and even to endorse a write-in candidate to draw votes from Mr. Moore. It involved a scheme to link the Moore campaign to thousands of Russian accounts that suddenly began following the Republican candidate on Twitter, a development that drew national media attention.

“We orchestrated an elaborate ‘false flag’ operation that planted the idea that the Moore campaign was amplified on social media by a Russian botnet,” the report says."

hard to get more hypocritical than this.

The experimenters wanted to see if the Russia-denier pseudocons were stupid enough to fall for the same hoax twice.

And, of course, they were that stupid. And still are.

"Fool me once..."

It's underhanded, but not treasonous, when Americans do it.

if it's wrong it's wrong. to punish one and then go do it yourself is the very core of hypocrisy.

Its not wrong. Its underhanded. Yes we punish treason and threats. We dont punish citizens for disinformation. If we did Drumpf would already be in prison.

all the russians did was disinformation.

suddenly it's ok again. til the right or someone you don't like does it. then it's punishable. again.

They are ruskies and as such they are a threat. If they were citizens then it wouldnt have been punishable.

people need to learn to validate what they read. this hasn't changed since people *could* read.

to try and punish people for saying stupid / false shit is stupid. in the end this is all russia did - disinformation and pretend to be someone else in order to get us bitching at each other.

it worked.

but no election machines were hacked and they didn't force votes anywhere. so the only thing left on the investigation is to say trump was a party to helping russia spread lies.

now if alabama democrats are doing just that, how can trump, even if he did it, be guilty and they NOT be?

quandrious dilemma to be sure.

Here is how the Democrats practiced that in the 2016 election. You will have to click the thumbnail and zoom for the full effect.



A clinton super pac also used 1 million dollars handed to them by Soros to "swarm" anyone on social media with a pro Trump post.

And the fake Republicans of course..everywhere "Lifelong Republican Sez!!!".

Wikileaks showed them working to create in the media an "echo chamber". "We will create a robust echo chamber with messaging that spans from independent groups, to progressive partisans, to grassroots organizers, to the netroots. We will align messaging across broadcast and cable TV, radio, print, Internet, single-issue and advocacy organizations, progressive media, surrogates and new media."

Remember this one cardinal rule..liberals ALWAYS project! When they start whining about something then you know, without a doubt, that they are confessing.
