    Who is financing what? I'm going out on a limb here but you are not actually claiming this ad is for recruiting anti Trump rioters - you weren't stupid enough to fall for this nonsense - right? This crap came up in January, March, June, July and right up to the present time. It's nonsense but, if you need to believe in BS, knock yourself out.......

    This is apparently not true:

    No, someone wasn't paid $3,500 to protest Donald Trump; it's fake news

    By Louis Jacobson on Thursday, November 17th, 2016 at 1:59 p.m.

    A fake news story incorrectly affirmed many conspiracies that paid protesters targeted Trump rallies during the 2016 campaign. Pants on Fire!
    Donald Trump has suggested that paid protesters targeted his rallies during the 2016 campaign, and even stronger charges from conspiracy websites such as Infowars have flooded the Internet.

    If such claims piqued your interest and you plugged "paid protesters" into Google at mid-day on Nov. 17, at the top of the list is this one: "Donald Trump Protester Speaks Out: 'I Was Paid $3,500 To Protest Trump's Rally.' "



    The link cites not one but two seemingly mainstream media outlets. It’s credited to "abcnews.com.co" and includes the abbreviation "(AP)," which is how the Associated Press marks its stories.

    But the story doesn’t have anything to do with ABC News, and it doesn’t have anything to do with the Associated Press. It is 100 percent fake.




    It was created by Paul Horner, who posts fake news on a variety of websites. Some of his posts go viral, presumably boosting his standing with Google’s news algorithm. The fake news posts typically earn Horner -- according to an interview with the Washington Post -- $10,000 a month in ad sales.

    In the Post interview, Horner took credit for the fake news item about the protester being paid $3,500.

    "His followers don’t fact-check anything — they’ll post everything, believe anything," Horner said. Referring to then-Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, Horner said, "His campaign manager posted my story about a protester getting paid $3,500 as fact. Like, I made that up. I posted a fake ad on Craigslist." Here’s a screenshot of Lewandowski’s since-deleted tweet:



    Asked by the Post’s Caitlin Dewey why he posted the fake story, Horner responded, "Just ’cause his supporters were under the belief that people were getting paid to protest at their rallies, and that’s just insane. I’ve gone to Trump protests — trust me, no one needs to get paid to protest Trump. I just wanted to make fun of that insane belief, but it took off. They actually believed it."

    The story’s high position on Google search results after the election likely stems from Horner’s decision to re-date the post, which originally ran in March. The current version is dated Nov. 11.

    Automated algorithms may not be able to tell fact from fiction, but a human with minimal understanding of typical news articles might have noticed, after clicking into it, that the article eventually degenerates into a rant against Snopes.com, the urban-legends site that has regularly debunked articles from websites operated by Horner.

    Horner even quoted himself by name in the fake story, something he does in many of his posts.

    PolitiFact has also debunked at least three fake Horner stories in recent years. PolitiFact was unable to reach Horner independently.

    Our ruling

    A web posting headlined, "Donald Trump Protester Speaks Out: 'I Was Paid $3,500 To Protest Trump's Rally,' " ranks high on Google searches for the phrase "paid protesters." But the article is 100 percent fabricated, as its author acknowledges. We rate it Pants on Fire.

    This appeares to be occurring after the election. I hope it isn't more fake news:

    Paying Students to Protest Trump
    BY DAVID RANDALL NOVEMBER 21, 2016 CHAT 1 COMMENTS

    Pomona College is paying students to protest the new president-elect.

    That chilling detail trumps all the news about frantic college students who require safe spaces with Play-Doh and puppies to recover from the election. According to the Claremont Independent, Pomona College’s Draper Center for Community Partnerships advertised a November 9th anti-Trump rally in Los Angeles on Facebook. It wasn’t enough, however, for the Center to promote a partisan political event. It went all the way to using university funds to rent buses to take students to the rally and to reimburse travel costs for those who missed the bus. The Draper Center personnel knew what exactly they were doing: “The Draper Center is organizing a bus that will take students to downtown LA TONIGHT to stand against Trump.”

    This isn’t just the usual leftist politicization of the university. Typically that political mischief is veiled. It takes the form of Marxist history, one-sided syllabi, and wholesome-sounding code words such as “environmental awareness.” But at Pomona the mask has slipped. We are seeing outright political zealotry in plain violation of the college’s tax status—and its educational integrity.

    The Draper Center is part of a national movement that goes by the names service learning, global civics, and civic engagement. This movement has an office on almost every college campus. Its cadres work for the usual progressive goals, but they disguise what they’re doing as a form of “civic education.” This isn’t civics in the sense of learning about how American self-government works. Rather it is community organizing—that attempt to destroy democracy from within pioneered by Saul Alinsky.

    SPONSORED


    For a succinct idea of what such “community organizing” involves, recall the protesters recruited by political operative Robert Creamer to stage violent incidents at Trump’s campaign rallies. Creamer was the founder of the Alinskyite Midwest Academy and is now a partner in Democracy Partners, which states that “we focus our energy on issue campaigns, civic engagement programs [emphasis added], and campaigns to elect Democrats to public office.” Democracy Partners has been implicated in what could politely be called skullduggery, and in the late stages of her campaign, Secretary Clinton was at pains to distance herself from Mr. Creamer.

    Surely not all proponents of college-based civic engagement programs have the checkered past of Robert Creamer. But the connections between these programs and Alinsky’s acolytes aren’t hard to find. Why did the head of Pomona College’s Draper Center, Maria R. Tucker, think it was perfectly all right to use college funds to send students to an anti-Trump rally? Dr. Tucker’s specialties (naturally) include civic engagement, community engagement, sustainability, environmental justice, and diversity. Her Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Michigan dealt with “environmental justice organizations.” As director of the Draper Center, Tucker co-sponsored a visit by Mike Miller, one Alinsky’s original “project directors,” and she has supported campus protests such as a “Die In.” Tucker is, by all appearances, a hard-left activist who is at ease with using higher education to advance the political causes she supports.

    Let’s say relatively few students who get caught up in the frenzy of leftist protest while in college go on to make careers of it. But while they are in college, and come into the orbit of bodies such as the Draper Center, they engage in “community service,” a pleasant-sounding phrase that translates as free labor for progressive organizations, progressive propaganda on campus, and training to be a left-wing activist. Above all, civic engagement means teaching students that leftist protest is the heart and soul of being a “citizen.”

    It looks very much like Pomona College broke the law. But even when the civic engagement advocates stay within the legal limits, they still encourage a style of partisan protest that corrodes the foundations of our actual communities. They hope to “transform” America, and to that end they organize events such as getting high-school students around the country to walk out of school to protest the election of Donald Trump.


    “Not My President” rallies, with the covert and increasingly the overt support of this new class of educational expert are increasingly common. These rallies are justified as exercises in “civic engagement.” But political action is “civic engagement” only if it advances a progressive cause. Trump supporters have no parallel right of civic engagement because, in the eyes of these activists, they are merely exponents of “hate.” The radical left mobs protesting in the streets hope to delegitimize Donald Trump’s presidency before it begins. That counts as “civic engagement.” Support of Donald Trump does not. In other words, “civic engagement” is no more and no less than progressive politics.

    More fake nonsense for the right to express their faux rage towards.
