As Russia’s online election machinations came to light last year, a group of Democratic tech experts decided to try out similarly deceptive tactics in the fiercely contested Alabama Senate race, according to people familiar with the effort and a report on its results.
And
Mr. Watson never spoke with the page’s author or authors by phone, and they declined a request for meeting. But he did notice something unusual: his Twitter followers suddenly ballooned from about 100 to about 10,000. The Facebook page’s operators asked Mr. Watson whether he trusted anyone to set up a super PAC that could receive funding and offered advice on how to sharpen his appeal to disenchanted Republican voters.
Shortly before the election, the page sent him a message, wishing him luck.
The report does not say whether the project purchased the Russian bot Twitter accounts that suddenly began to follow Mr. Moore. But it takes credit for “radicalizing Democrats with a Russian bot scandal” and points to stories on the phenomenon in the mainstream media. “Roy Moore flooded with fake Russian Twitter followers,” reported The New York Post.
It’s funny in it’s own way, and done against a thuggish caveman’s caveman of a politician, but let’s be clear about the risks involved. It normalizes that it’s OK to spread the Russia! BS, and the truth of the matter can be damned if it’s against the enemy.
Right now both Jill Stein and Bernie Sanders are in the cross hairs of those who see them as enemies, and legitimate targets for themselves, the good guys.
And they have their allies in the media, like at the WaPo, who’ll write dozens of prominent negative articles about Sanders one day, and then maybe write one low key retraction long after the damage has been done.
“They threw chairs!”
“They demanded English be spoken!”
“Bernie is a tool of Putin!”
“Jill Stein cozied up to Putin!”
But anyway, yadda, yadda, yadda, the story here is that Democratic operatives were cool with “radicalizing Democrats with a Russian bot scandal”.
Because they have no sense of any risk being involved with having the electorate seeing Russia as an enemy willing to destroy this mainstay of our Republic, our elections.
It’s all fun and games until diplomacy gets reduced to shots being fired.

Doug Jones may not pick up 14 year old girls at the local mall, but in terms of his voting record, he’s really not much better than Roy Moore would have been.
Possibly an even worse excuse for a “democrat” than Queen Weathervane Herself.

it is looking more and more like Russia is the victim, rather than the perpetrator, of everything they are accused of by the U.S.-U.K. bloodsuckers and all their well paid whore media enablers.
All governments lie to their citizen's, but only Americans believe theirs.

Wasn’t a Sanders friendly Facebook page hacked so as to have child pron? Similar skill set involved, so I think OK to raise the question of it being possible that the same interests were involved.
I just checked, here are the top four Ecosia hits.

The hamsters prevented me from posting the links in the above post.
The boards are in need of a fix. I even pasted the links in Notepad, and then copied back.
Clinton Super PAC Denies Role In Attack On Sanders Facebook Groups—But That Doesn’t Resolve Issue
I wonder how the FBI search for the truth on this is going? :sarcasm:
Edit: The board blocks links that have the p word in them.
Edit 2: This sort of works in providing some links. I had to use “pron” in the search field.

but there was CP, women f*cking dogs, and that notorious Japanese hentai of a woman being roasted on a spit (it’s not real, don’t worry, the actress does that for a living)
[on edit: yeah, the JPR software’s set to safe mode, I can’t use the F-word]
