Right-Wing Trumpist News Site Busted as Putin Troll Farm Operation

[exGOPer]

Reminder - Your research skills are poor. It does not imply someone is lying. \

Lets see...you've stated I've LIED, made FALSE CLAIMS and now you state I MAKE SHIT...FLAIL with 'muh both sides' routine.

Why do you persist so strongly about something you consider to be a LIE and FALSE CLAIMS.

I posted a quote from an article and you're not able to locate the article to read the entire article. Like I said...poor research skills. I then gave you a hint via stating "Financial Network / Sites" posting articles about such although I'm sure other sites heavy into politics may have picked up the info or done their own research...

Still not good enough for you and you're still unable to locate links on your own.

My point, if you're able to prove your research skills and take off the blinders...

I may share more info with you that may include just links without me "quoting" a few paragraphs from the article.

Yet, you're more than welcome to believe I'm LYING about their existence or LYING that China is guilty too. Then again, why would that bother you to know someone out there is reading info about China's online behaviour along with the same about Russia ???

No False Claims

You are more of a shameless liar than I thought you would be, so let's break it down.

This is what you quoted from the 'article'

"The vast majority of accounts (78.5%) had no followers and 95% had fewer than eight followers, but these accounts had a high level of engagement, although not organic. This indicated the use of commercial robot networks, the research found. In total, 156 tweets from accounts without subscribers received more than 50 likes and 26 tweets from accounts without subscribers received more than 10 retweets."

This is the source

https://oltnews.com/twitter-deletes-170000-accounts-linked-to-china-influence-campaign-the-guardian

Entire article is available there



Now let me quote the first paragraph of the article

Twitter has deleted more than 170,000 accounts, according to the social media site, of influence campaigns from China focusing on the Hong Kong protests, Covid-19 and the American protests in connection with George Floyd.

More importantly from the article - the campaign targets Chinese-speaking audiences outside the country “with the intention of influencing perceptions on issues keys, including protests from Hong Kong, exiled Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui and, to a lesser extent, Covid-19 and Taiwan.


Now explain how is this evidence of Chinese trolls trying to infiltrate America in favor of the Democrats as YOU claimed. Their target is not even American voters or even the election.



You are just another liar like the typical Trumptard here, pulling stuff out of your ass then giving the 'do your own research' routine because you got nothing to back up the shit you pulled. Try this stuff on Facebook with your boomer friends, it won't fly here.

You may want to check my message post history more carefully before calling me a LIAR or a Trumptard.

I'm well known here to force people to do their own research and seek their own links especially those that specially ask for links in some stupid childish debate.

That was your mistake...you asked for links.

By the way, the source you stated as my source...it was not my source.

Keep Trying...No False Claims.

I didn't say you are a Trumptard, I said you are acting like one with their disingenuous tactics, you are just another enlightened centrist with the both sides schtick, seen that many times.

You just make shit up and got caught, you didn't expect people to ask you for sources so you googled something and found a weak ass link that has got nothing to do with your claim about Chinese helping Democrats. Now you will throw silly insults and emojis hoping gish gallop will help you slide away without too much embarrassment.

Good luck with that.

I think you're starting to feel targeted for the one sided blinders ???

Try worrying about what Russia / China are both doing and take the blinders off so that you can do decent research. At least you discover the quote is real (not some shit I made up)...

Now go find the true article (link) ?

Seriously, you can ask for a "link" if I say Abraham Lincoln was one of the President's of the United States...

I still wouldn't post you a link to verify my story and you can then state I'm making shit up.

P.S. The problem is that you have one sided blinders on. I do not.

Again, it's not about China, it's about you trying to smear Democrats with a line that helps right wingers as if Chinese are helping Democrats the same way Russians are.

You made shit up, that's OK, you got carried away with your enlightened centrist routine.

You still think this is about Republicans and Democrats when I keep saying...

It's about Russia and China propaganda infiltration on social media that you seem to believe its either Russia only and/or China is not involved.

Take Your Blinders Off

• The real question, why does it bother you so much that I see both countries infiltration into U.S. politics ?

I don't have blinders on...I see them both...Russia and China infiltrating American politics via social media. Also, I stated it see such here too at Elitetrader.com (this is when you ask for links...right ?)

No, I think this is about Republicans getting help from Putin and Russia, you made it about Democrats. Yes, the Chinese and Iranians have their own troll farms, but they are not running an election campaign for Democrats knowing that Democrats will do them no favors if they win.

Not true...I've clearly stated both are guilty. I did not say nor imply its only about Democrats if that's what you're stating.

Don't know any thing about Iran and their troll farms if they have such a thing.

The problem you don't realize or maybe not willing to admit...

You're thinking in terms of Republicans / Democrats. In contrast, a big contrast, I'm thinking in terms of Russia / China influences. That's a big difference in how we view America and the reason for your debates with me about "links".

Don't be naive and think China is not using social media to infiltrate their views into / about American politics.

I have seen zero evidence that the Chinese are helping Democrats in any serious way, there is zero evidence of it or Ratcliffe who is running DNI would make sure that everyone knows

As for Iranian troll farms

Sorry, Iran not an issue with me. Maybe another day but not right now.

• Here's an interesting question for you...

Pretend I was from China. I then created a few aliases on social media sites. I then posted negative info about Republicans or maybe only posted negative info about Trump because I want fair trade deals with America that's going to benefit my multi-million dollar business in China.

Simply, it's not political to me. It's strictly financial or economics for my multi-million dollar company in China.

Continuing with this pretend situation...

As a person from China...I view Russia as a threat to a fair deal for my multi-million dollar business.

• Would you view me as someone helping Democrats or would you view me as someone from China infiltrating social media to push an agenda that benefits my multi-million dollar company ?

Hopefully the above explains a little about what I'm trying to get you to understand. I'm not Political. Yet, reality, it is an election year. I vote what I think is best for the America...not what's best for a political party.

• I have no blinders on and you approached me with the perception that the infiltration is about politics.

Yet, don't misunderstand...I'm not trying to change your mind. I'm trying to get you to understand I don't view it as Republicans against Democrats. I have a very simplistic view about the "splintering occurring in America" and it makes you uncomfortable...reason for your demand for links and your poor research that lead you to the incorrect source.

Russia and China both have infiltrated social media to push their propaganda and its splintering America. Both Russia and China are a threat to Democracy and I could care less about your FALSE CLAIMS / LIES statement that I read about such on online (reason why you demanded links).

If you think only Russia is doing such...fine. I strongly disagree nor do I need to verify my disagreement.

P.S. If someone asked me for links to a story about Iran running troll farms...

I still wouldn't post a link and request they find it on their own and tell them not to use the key words "troll farms".
