Joe Biden, Kamala Harris Got a Big Social Media Boost from Indian Troll Farms

Joe Biden's Twitter account got a sizable boost beginning in August from tens of thousands of fake followers purchased on the open market from troll farms in rural India, an investigation has found.

Within two weeks of Biden selecting Kamala Harris as his running mate on August 12, his Twitter following jumped by 738,595 new followers—a 9.1 percent leap. The number hit 11 million by the third week of October.

A close examination has revealed unusual patterns. A large number of Twitter accounts that followed Biden's appear to have been created exclusively for that purpose. And a large number of the users are located in small towns in rural India—in places where English-speakers are rare, and from handles run by people who don't speak English as their first language, nor appear to be genuinely invested in American politics.

A Zenger News investigation reveals that Biden's increasing social media footprint in India came from the country's infamous troll farms boosting his candidacy.

Kamala Harris's ethic heritage is in part rooted in India, but her share of Indian and apparently Indian followers is far lower, about 0.12 percent.

Some of the operators who worked on the campaign spoke at length about how propaganda agencies in New Delhi and Mumbai activated a widely distributed troll network to amplify Biden's campaign impact on Twitter.

In discussions over the Telegram app, Harshit Patel and Yajpal Yadav discussed the part they played.

Patel runs a small cybercafé near the railway station at Umbergaon, a small town four hours north of Mumbai near the Maharashtra-Gujarat interstate border. From 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, he scans IDs of customers and allots them a PC for twenty rupees an hour. On the side, he and his Photoshop-savvy wife Sejal make photocopies, print ID cards, do small design jobs and offer lamination services.

"This was started as an internet café by my father in the late 1990s," Patel said, speaking in Gujarati-accented Hindi. "Back then, men came in mostly for chatting in IRC [Internet Relay Chat] rooms and surfing porn. It was brisk business. But then internet became so cheap and everyone got smartphones and business petered out. We had to rely on passengers asking to print railway tickets, fill up online forms, and get documents photocopied. But that didn't even cover the costs of maintaining the PCs and paying the electricity bill. Things changed in 2012–13 when [Narendra] Modi started his campaign for prime minister. And this became my main business."

What Patel means by "this" is the business of running a troll farm after his shutters go down at 8:00 p.m.—which is 10:30 a.m. in New York and 7:30 a.m. in California.

Four of his employees, young men who live in the neighborhood, take their stations at long desks that line two walls of the tiny shop, and open up task sheets assigned to them. A Google Doc tells each one of them who to follow, who to retweet, what to retweet and what comments to leave on specific posts.

Using aliases—each worker controls several hundred—they schedule tweets, check engagement stats and, at the close of their shifts, fill up a spreadsheet with their analytics from the previous day.

We have been told that Five Eyes intelligence assessments we've referenced before are part of a conspiracy to reverse the election of Trump. Not to mention the actual charging of foreign actors involved in meddling in our election. So what's the point of posting them if they're "fake news"?
 
Trump just shot himself in the foot with new voting threats: GOP election lawyer


trump-flickr.jpg


Ben Ginsburg, a longtime Republican election lawyer, said on Monday that President Donald Trump’s threats to send lawyers into Pennsylvania to challenge mail-in ballots were not part of some grand strategy to steal the election.

While appearing on CNN, Ginsburg argued that the president’s threats were instead acts of desperation by a president who doesn’t believe he can win if every ballot is counted.

“Look, there’s a real tactical error, a head scratcher in somebody from the Trump campaign telegraphing this particular strategy,” he said. “Because if he’s going to go in and say it, no matter what the results are, which is the apparent thrust of what they’re saying, it just becomes a transparent line in a script, as opposed to something on the merits of the numbers on election night.”

“So you’re suggesting it’s not three-dimensional chess they’re playing, Ben Ginsburg?” asked CNN host John Berman.

“I am suggesting that,” Ginsburg said while laughing. “It’s really puzzling why spokespeople for his campaign would leak things both to Jim Acosta of CNN and to Jonathan Swan of Axios that say that they’re going to do this no matter what. It takes away the authority with which he can declare victory on election night.”

GOP handed another blow as federal judge rejects effort to throw out 127,000 votes cast at Texas drive-thru sites

Republicans were dealt a major blow Monday when a federal judge rejected another last-ditch effort to invalidate nearly 127,000 votes in Houston because the ballots were cast at drive-thru polling centers. The centers were established during the coronavirus pandemic.

The lawsuit was brought by conservative Texas activists who have railed against expanded voting access in Harris County, which is home to nearly 5 million residents. There were a total of 10 drive-thru locations offered in the county. An estimated 20,000 or more voters are expected to use drive-thru polling locations Tuesday, said Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins, the county’s top elections official.

U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen’s decision to hear arguments on the brink of Election Day drew concern from voting rights activists, and came after the Texas Supreme Court rejected a nearly identical challenge over the weekend.

More than 40 percent of Harris County residents are Latino, and about one in five residents are Black.

Good. There's no reason why these ballots shouldn't be counted.

Please post specific evidence that the specific evidence already presented in support of the assertion that an entity is trying to influence the Presidental election in favor of Biden is false.

Pretty please?

No, I don't. But I'm not sure there is a payoff to this discussion.

Let’s delve deeper into this subject now that I have more time.

First off, in my younger days I was a closed minded Leftist, although I registered as an Independent in high school. I later registered as a Democrat after George Bush’s 2nd Iraq War. I am still registered as a Democrat.

I was also a UN flag carrying antiwar protester. I also gathered signatures in support of Leftist causes. I participated in house parties that were in support of Democrats Jay Inslee and Dennis Kucinich.

The turning point for me took years of losing arguments against Conservatives, especially involving economics, and by slowly associating many Leftists with failing in life. However, the big thunderclap that changed my thinking towards the Democrat Party occurred was when I actually read one of the petitions I was gathering signatures for. It basically transferred radioactive waste contamination cleanup liability at the Hanford Nuclear Reversation from a defense contractor(s) and the Federal Government to Washington State Taxpayers. Although Washington State still has no income tax, sales taxes and low profile business taxes increased after the resolution represented by the petition, passed.

Elite Trader is visited by a diverse audience that includes a wide political spectrum as well as an broad international audience. Vocations range from truck drivers, like myself, to captains of industry and legendary traders. Ages represented range from high school students to those born during WWII.

As such, I try to write with consideration to this diverse audience in mind. Several meta themes I try to maintain is that I’m a representative, in a tiny way, of the United States and Donald Trump. I hope to show others the United States and Trump are not as bad as some in the media portray. Further, many people are undecided in their opinions. I especially wish to present my case to these people. Moreover, if I can change my stubborningly held belief systems, so can others. Hopefully those who continue to lose arguments and have to rely on deception in their frantic attempt to remain in contention will eventually see the light and will also change their belief systems towards the most productive.

The questions I presented earlier, “How do you feel about the United States” and “How do you feel about Antifa” were designed to get the poster, as well as others, to critically think about what they are really representing, especially when their posts are not able to withstand scrutiny. They are often unable to support their statements often copied from discredited media outlets. Many times, they don’t even try, perhaps hoping a deflection or personal attack will avert attention elsewhere.

So we fight the good fight and try to stay open minded. Especially in regards to far Left posters in that they may eventually see the light. Until then, let’s continue pressing on.

Isn’t this at least the third time you’ve used “This is like reading a talking point dispenser programmed by Mike Pence.”? Don’t panic, I’m not going to bother doing a search on that phrase or its derivatives. Sounds like you’ve found copy and paste talking point you are comfortable with.

In any event, you just don’t seem to be finding any way to refute or at least credibly attack what I’m saying.

My suggestion to you is turn off CNN and learn the details of the various issues before arguing them. Then again, if you knew the details of the issues, you would likely join us on the Trump Train.

Choo! Choo!
