    Sorry Striped Horse, I have not read this thread. However the other day I came upon a couple of twitter links which appeared like they might have something to do with what you are talking about but did not have time to look into them then. Grayzone now has an article. I think this may be related to what you are talking about

    Full story

    https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/12...ative-and-the-uks-scandalous-information-war/

    another link talking of the social media surge of alternative media and state sponsored smears on Corbyn

    anyway masses of stuff to look into.

    You just don't like having your boy attacked for invading other countries.
    You're repeating yourself.
    So, you think it's okay to invade and occupy all or part of a sovereign nation?
    I took issue with the U.S. war in Vietnam. Ditto the 2003 Iraq War. How about you taking issue with Russian aggression?
    I'm also a Canadian citizen, live part of the year there, travel the world (just back from Australia and New Zealand), and spend more time outside the U.S. than in it. How about you? Are you prepared to criticize Russia on this forum?
    I'm not prepared to refute each and every lie Russian apologists spread, knowingly or otherwise, in their posts. I pick my spots.
    Looks like you're the one name-calling.

    "Best" in your opinion.
    I'm a forum moderator elsewhere, not here.
    Stop, you're breaking my heart.
    Still no criticism of the Russian kleptocracy...

    Unlike you, I don't act like my opinion entitles me to attack and insult other members of the forum.

    I fail to see how that is relevant.

    You insulted another poster so I insulted you back. Whether or not it breaks your heart makes no difference to me.

    I'm too concerned with the kleptocracy in my own country to worry about any others. I'm not a citizen of the world like you are. For me, America comes first.

    It will be interesting to see if the pull your message.
    I didn't think you criticize Russia.

    You're attacking me.
    Does this mean you don't "do" sarcasm?
    Still no criticism of the Russian kleptocracy? Hohhh-Kayyyy...

    There are no shortage of people here for whom that is one of his selling points. I'd bet my house there are people on these threads who were making the same excuses for the USSR during the Cold War as they are for Russia now.

    I sort of wandered away from this after point 2. Striped Horse pushes liars, fantasists, propagandists and serial conspiracy theorists as 'credible' and endorses some of the most absurd rubbish as a result. He has also been caught passing off fake quotes as real and point blank refused to acknowledge it when caught.

    Did anyone read enough of the rest of this to find anything worth addressing? Life is too short.

    Dear me, point out that the Emperor has no clothes and the retainers throw a hissy fit.

    If you had but a shred of credibility I might work up a slight offence at the accusation that I tell lies, but the fact that you have to make me one of 'you guys' (whoever they are) tells me that you know you are just making stuff up and pretending it is real.

    I''l just let you get back to what you do best - making up stuff to assist dictatorships. I doubt you get paid for it. There is a well known term frequently attributed to Lenin for people like that.

    Funny from someone who has repeatedly run when caught out pushing false sources.

    It is often the case that the brainwashed fools and sheep can not handle more than a soundbite. I have not noticed any of the above in this thread and you have not given any support for your accusations so - not much can be said.

    Lastly - just because someone has quoted propaganda in the past - does not make what is posted in this thread "propaganda". This is logical fallacy.
