Russian trolls targeted Christians

[mellincf]

“Trust. Vote Pray. How should Christians vote?” asks one meme from Army of Jesus, a Facebook account operated from a Kremlin-linked troll farm.
Later on, that same account pushed out anti-Clinton and pro-Trump rhetoric, including one that showed a face-off between Hillary Clinton, characterized as the devil, and Jesus.
This is another example of how people are lured in.

Sad state of affairs when the American people can be so easily tricked. And we had Donald John Trump's demagoguery to boot. He is still at it.

You would want to believe that by now every American has become aware of the fact that the Russians wanted to interfere in our election, sow havoc in this nation and divide us. We all know this and yet we still suffer fools.

Funny.....the President of the United States, himself is just catching on and in fact has not even recognized the hearings held the last few days.

I might also add, that YOU...YOU...who demean the media at every single turn, who relies on extremist alt right web sites, once using Alex Jones as a source for defaming the media are the guilty ones.

You listened to your pied piper.....believed, and still do, that the media is lying as he demeaned them PERSONALLY and well as in general day after day after day. YOU supported and still do support the defamation of the truth.

The website used on here to defend police that we now know was created in Russia to divide....the anti muslim sites....all spoon fed to your ilk to divide the country.

You promulgated these things.....you still do...you support non truths. YOU spout things that are patently untrue, all proven to be such in order to support a man who lies to us all each day.

YOU, who has mocked this very investigation and who agreed with the President when he called it a witch hunt.

YOU who still to this day "suffer a fool", spout untruths have nerve to say "suffer fools" about anyone but you and your alt right extremists who are used and manipulated each day.

Yes by promulgating lies about Clinton even one year after an election.....LIES, and then to keep on saying it over and over.

At the hearings yesterday, they showed so many sites posing as pro police, pro white, etc and etc. with ONE intention to have you folks who refuse to accept the media to use them and sent them in emails, etc. People using Alex Jones to validate their garbage.

The mainstream media does not lie...they report facts. If you dont like the facts, that does not make it untrue and there is NO different versions of the truth exist, no matter what the President tells you.

In all due respect and regard for your emotional state there is something seriously wrong with you and I believe the diagnosis is Rubicon Derangement Syndrome.

Count how many times YOU was used, referring to me as being "the YOU".

Your obsession with me is getting annoying. You may want to refocus on the subject matter rather than continue with baseless personal attacks. its a loser.

It was intentional. I do not like liars...simple as that. Especially pompous, self indulgent, preachy liars.

By the way, with all your spouting off and lectures, I am still waiting for you to supply your link for the "alternate facts" as you called them on the Clinton uranium story. You said ALL my links were not true and that should mean you have the other facts.

Speaking of "annoying".....attacking the media and the press at every turn WITH NEVER SUPPLYING ANY BACK UP FOR YOUR ACCUSATION, that is annoying

Russians target more that Christians . Russia targeted users of Facebook, Twitter , Google by race, religion, gender, interest.

Facebook and Google had rigged their system to aggressively push what they believed placed progressive platform and policy in a positive light, ignored any negativity concerning progressives and policy, scandal, etc while suppressing conservative narrative.

Really you are going to pull that nonsense. That line is as old as playing the race card.

Google, Facebook and Twitter antics are a constant conversation in many papers, on websites and their CEO's are in Washington explaining themselves .

Do your own research I am not obliged to do yours nor to answer to you

Geezzz your motives are so transparent. Please do yourself a favor don't play poker

Share that then if it is that easy. Interested in exactly where you got it.

You are not obligated...that is correct.

Making accusations and claims with a feeling that YOU are somehow priveliged and above us all, therefore common adult practices do not apply.......EQUALS....

T. R. O. L. L

What motives do you want....see I do not lie, as you and will share.

Sick of reading your pompous lectures based on lies....simply mouthing the inarticulate lies told on your extreme websites or your extreme email distributions.

I can stand and readily accept disagreement, which at first I thought was you, but have learned...you just lie...you do not feel you need to support your accusations, much like your idol.

As I said.....on the list of things I abhore is lying. You don't stop with the normal lies.

You take down and personally attack so many millions with your lies and accusations, and then tell us you have no responsibility to back it up. Who the hell do you think you are ?

"Some of the ads sampled specifically dealt with the U.S. election and were critical of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. One from an account called “Army of Jesus” said Clinton was supported by evil forces.

“Hillary is a Satan, and her crimes and lies had proved just how evil she is,” the post read. It added that Republican candidate Donald Trump was “an honest man” who “cares deeply for this country.”

"One ad from a group calling itself “Heart of Texas” promoted a rally in Houston on May 21, 2016 to “Stop Islamization” in the U.S. state. Another ad from a separate Facebook page promoted a pro-Islam rally at the same time and venue.

The Russian government has denied any attempts to sway the 2016 election, in which U.S. President Donald Trump defeated Clinton.

The ads were released at a U.S. House Intelligence Committee hearing, where lawyers from Facebook, Twitter Inc and Alphabet Inc’s Google testified about Russian influence on their networks.

It was the second straight day the companies attempted to ward off criticism from lawmakers that they were slow to respond to Russian abuse."


U.S. lawmakers release sample of Russian-bought Facebook ads | Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-socialmedia/u-s-lawmakers-release-sample-of-russian-bought-facebook-ads-idUSKBN1D15GU)

"The batch of more than 3,000 Russian-bought ads that Facebook is preparing to turn over to Congress shows a deep understanding of social divides in American society, with some ads promoting African American rights groups, including Black Lives Matter, and others suggesting that these same groups pose a rising political threat, say people familiar with the covert influence campaign.

The Russian campaign — taking advantage of Facebook’s ability to send contrary messages to different groups of users based on their political and demographic characteristics — also sought to sow discord among religious groups. Other ads highlighted support for Democrat Hillary Clinton among Muslim women.

These targeted messages, along with others that have surfaced in recent days, highlight the sophistication of an influence campaign slickly crafted to mimic and infiltrate U.S. political discourse while also seeking to heighten tensions between groups already wary of one another."

This is what Rubicon does and always has.

I actually thought, based on years ago contributions, that he was a real conservative who just got caught up in this Trump frenzy.

Not so, it appears. He acts like an extremist troll...he posts like an extremist troll....he is lacking any credence like an extremist troll....he accuses everyone of every thing that is not in his camp like an extremist troll....he attacks the media, wth no credence like an extremist troll.....he is insulted when you call him out publicly like an extremist troll.

Thus.....an extremist troll.

No more breaks...even when confronted wit ABSOLUTE FACTS, he continues to attack with such a degree of ignorance, it is terrifying that one person, so uninformed, with such a closed mind, can actually come on this forum, or any place, and lecture others, and worse judge others simply because he is Rubicon.

He has plagerized on here.....stolen entire thoughts from other websites, and he will deny it.....used a Russian site on a few occasions as a link, cited Alex Jones as a source for media lying.
And once, although I accepted at that time his saying was a error...he actually plagerized a satire website. I accept his apology no more as he simply continues.

The hearings yesterday were eye openers....people like Rubicon are allies with those who wish to divide us.

Which is the reason I accurately call him RubiTHECon...and have outed him as the psuedo-intellectual that he is. :ho:

I am at a loss for words on this person. You wonder how this happens. He is the complete and total alt right extremist who has lost all respect for what is true. He respects no honor and has placed himself on the altar of Trump.

He has even defended his lies, as if we need a President who does not tell the truth.

I am slow, but I am getting it. It IS cultural more than political. I just have difficulty with people so filled with hate, and they lose touch with what is real.
