.....They feed false information and lies to sow discord where and how they want to. This false information and hate talk, to any person with mental instability, can be what pushes them over the edge. Meanwhile, those without those instabilities are making decision on who to fear and what to fear based on false premise.

The Russians fooled us once, but we don't have to let them fool us twice (Opinion) - CNN

We watched a number of hearings where we find that FACEBOOK alone was the biggest NEWS source for most, and we also found that much of that news is NOT TRUE, and is meant to disrupt our society or whatever country is being invaded.

THIS we KNOW.....THESE ARE FACTS. Not conjecture

Yet, we do very little, if anything at all.

YES, news cycles are a part.....yes we need to be careful of our borders (except we ignore the cyber border under attack).

This is not going to stop unless we do something about it. They are not spreading joy on social media....they are spreading hate on social media.....they DO influence our country and they DID invade.

Is social media all the blame....heck no.......our reluctance to admit we are being played, and our reluctance to even fight back is also part of it.

WILL now walk away from this because some have made up their mind based on something which is never stated. This is based on factual information and I, for one at least, cannot understand the reluctance to fight back against something that can kill minds

Interjecting facts into an emotional subject...is no fair!
