DNC paid trolls are they active on this site?

The paid trolls only come out around election time, otherwise its actually just brainwashed liberals doing the same work for free...

 

What is QAnon? Explaining the bizarre rightwing conspiracy theory
The sprawling internet theory, beloved by Trump supporters, has ensnared everyone from Tom Hanks to Hillary Clinton




https://www.theguardian.com/technol...n-rightwing-conspiracy-theory-explained-trump



If you happened to be watching YouTube videos on Monday morning and were struck by an urge to check in on one of America’s most beloved movie stars, you were in for a nasty surprise.

“Sarah Ruth Ashcraft says Tom Hanks is a pedophile”, read the title of the top video search result for the actor’s name. “Tom Hanks’ Alleged ‘Sex Slave’ Speaks Out”, read another top search result.

Indeed, the top five results – and eight out of the top 14 – were variations on the pedophilia theme, interspersed with the hashtags #QAnon, #Pizzagate and #Pedogate.

These bizarre results, first spotted by the NBC reporter Ben Collins, are not the result of the latest #MeToo era investigation reporting. Instead, they are the entirely unsubstantiated manifestation of a sprawling rightwing conspiracy theory known as QAnon.

Here’s our best effort at explaining what you do – and don’t – need to know about QAnon.

Meet Q
On 28 October 2017, “Q” emerged from the primordial swamp of the internet on the message board 4chan. In a thread called “Calm Before the Storm”, and in subsequent posts, Q established his legend as a government insider with top security clearance who knew the truth about a secret struggle for power involving Donald Trump, the “deep state”, Robert Mueller, the Clintons, pedophile rings, and other stuff.

4chanand 8chan, fostering a “QAnon” community devoted to decoding Q’s messages and understanding the real truth about, well, everything.

What do followers of QAnon believe?
It’s hard to say. The conspiracy theory is generally pro-Trump and anti-“deep state”, but it is not exactly coherent, and – like many conspiracy theories – is flexible enough to adapt to any new developments that might disprove it.

New York magazine and the Daily Beast have written articles explaining more of the basic beliefs of QAnon, but chances are that the more you read about it, the more confused you will be. Imagine a volatile mix of Pizzagate, InfoWars and the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, multiplied by the power of the internet and with an extra boost from a handful of conservative celebrities.

So celebrities believe in QAnon?
Before she was fired from her own sitcom for her racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, Roseanne Barr raised eyebrows with a series of tweets that invoked QAnon. Barr’s tweets focused on the supposed existence of hundreds of pedophile rings, including in Hollywood, that Trump is personally breaking up.

Another high-profile QAnon is Curt Schilling, the former Major League Baseball pitcher who now hosts a podcast for Breitbart.

Does anyone else believe in QAnon?
Yes, but it’s not clear how popular it actually is. Joseph Uscinski, a University of Miami professor who studies conspiracy theories, said by phone that QAnon remains a “fringe” belief held by “a very small number of people”. “Don’t confuse the popularity of this with the popularity of Kennedy assassination theories,” he said.

Most QAnon followers are Trump supporting evangelicals, Uscinski said, who are predisposed to believe a pro-Trump, anti-liberal narrative. Uscinski also cautioned against treating QAnon followers as any more gullible than other people.

Many parallels can be drawn between QAnon far right radicals and their peers on this forum who spend the entire day posting endless lies and hate. Note how they, like Alex Jones and others, are REPEATEDLY challenged to present evidence to back up their mythic claims and they fail to deliver. In fact when we patriots challenge, they often abandon the thread because they realize they have been defeated (again).

 

MAY 09, 2016

When the Internet’s legions of Hillary hecklers steal away to chat rooms and Facebook pages to vent grievances about Clinton, express revulsion toward Clinton and launch attacks on Clinton, they now may find themselves in a surprising place – confronted by a multimillion dollar super PAC working with Clinton.

Hillary Clinton's well-heeled backers have opened a new frontier in digital campaigning, one that seems to have been inspired by some of the Internet's worst instincts. Correct the Record, a super PAC coordinating with Clinton's campaign, is spending some $1 million to find and confront social media users who post unflattering messages about the Democratic front-runner...

Yes, but I didn't see much of that in regards to this forums system. That or I simply couldn't distinguish paid trolling from amateur trolling. That is a possibility as well. I would say, though, that the DNC and the Clintons did not get their money's worth.

 

WHY THE RIGHT’S DARK-WEB TROLLS ARE TAKING OVER YOUTUBE
Trolls that once haunted the darkest corners of the Internet are now hijacking platforms like YouTube to spread their messages.



https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/03/why-the-rights-dark-web-trolls-are-taking-over-youtube



n the immediate aftermath of the Parkland shooting, the breakneck spread of conspiracy theories made one thing abundantly clear: tech companies are no longer the masters of their own algorithms. Misinformation flourished even as YouTube, Facebook, and other companies scrambled to play catch up—a phenomenon that appears to have been spurred by more than outraged, ignorant users. As the Daily Beastreports, members of at least one far-right group crafted a strategy to game YouTube’s Trending tab into promoting false videos, seizing on a soft target with a boldness that in the past has been restricted to the darkest corners of the Internet.

While the far right has been active in its own echo chamber for decades—think obscure subReddits, 4chan, and 8chan—its push into mainstream platforms is relatively new. “It was only when they started to insert themselves into other online spaces that the far right started enjoying more success,” George Hawley, a political-science professor at the University of Alabama and author of Making Sense of the Alt-Right, told me. At first, these efforts mostly targeted the comment sections of news stories, which “allowed them to be seen by a large number of people.” When outlets started to crack down on comments, however, these groups migrated to places like Twitter and YouTube.

I post on youtube every day and see those same messages posted every day - and they parallel what we see here from these same right wing America hating trolls.

Don't believe it? Look for yourself.

 

There was a million of them the year run up to the 2016 election.

Most disappeared on Nov 8. Strange that.

 

I seem to remember back in late 2016 on this forum that paid tyrolls was brought up.

On the PF we had Russian trolls, some paid some just being patriotic Russians.

And there were the Democratic party's paid trolls.

Follow the money trail...

Beware the Soros zombies

 

And now for historical fact:

 

Great as I am getting tired of being paid by the GOP/NRA in Russian Rubles and coupons for Trump golf courses.

Nice to know that the other side is beginning to paid and hopefully in real money and or bitcoins so now where do you sign up?

footnote does anyone wish for great deals on time on Trump golf courses?

 

Funny how that's what right wingers call patriotic Dems every day on this forum.

 

You are correct about the President opening the flood gates on the Russia thing when he joked about asking Russia to look for the 30,000 email Hillary destroyed.

But who could possibly predict where the left and it's media partners would take that joke, and how far they would push it. Paid bloggers have been part of that effort. I don't know why people would deny it, they exist. What does the boiler room of David Brock do?

Hillary's destruction of evidence is a big deal, but should the President be blamed for telling a joke the left turned into a years long conspiracy?

I don't think so.

 

Clearly I am no troll for me or Democrats. I have spent most of the time trying to clearly elucidate why we Americans must constantly fight for our freedoms and berate Democrats for working hard to remove our freedoms. I spend much time on constitutional issues having to see Democrats wage war against me.

 

That is why i am skeptical that there are Paid trolls. Although maybe volunteers


But i surely dont know

 

Just because I am a conspiracist

Doesn't mean it isn't.​

 

repressive legislation after 9/11 which restrict freedom for many Americans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._government_response_to_the_September_11_attacks#Domestic_response


passed by Republicans under traitor Bush

 

Garbage reply.

 

How so?

 

Because its garbage and it denies facts. Plus you're using incendiary jargon for no reason.

 

Not for no reason.

It doesn't matter how many people, for however many times, repeat that goofy line. NOBODY is going to believe it. Give up on it.

 

Just worry about the post, not so much about the poster.

 

DNC pays people to troll on most every site, just go for a job interview at one of these PACS to see its true.

 

I've been posting at this forum for almost ten years. During that time I've been able to identify about a dozen posters that always respond (in a knee-jerk fashion) to certain topics, but rarely to others. This is the classic method of public opinion 'agenda' organizations, and the topics are usually assigned on an individual basis.

Try it sometime! Start a thread about a given topic -- pick a controversial one. Notice how there will always be one or two people with a diametrically-opposed viewpoint who put themselves right at the heart of the issue, and stay there to the bloody end. By now, I know exactly who I can expect to see coming to the forefront if there's a thread involving "atheism", "the Federal Reserve", "the Ebola virus", "gay marriage", etc.

Full disclosure: no one has ever paid me a penny to post anything here or anywhere else. However, I do wish I knew how to get plugged into that kind of 'free money'. Imagine! Getting PAID to write this stuff? Down South, they call that "a bird nest on the ground"....

 

Wonder if they're paid by the whine?

 

And not rescinded under traitor Obama.
