Russia steps up propaganda push with online


Posted: May 29, 2015

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — Deep inside a four-story marble building in St. Petersburg, hundreds of workers tap away at computers on the front lines of an information war, say those who have been inside. Known as "Kremlin trolls," the men and women work 12-hour shifts around the clock, flooding the Internet with propaganda aimed at stamping President Vladimir Putin's world vision on Russia, and the world. The Kremlin has always dabbled in propaganda, but in the past year its troll campaign has gone into overdrive, adding hundreds of online operatives to help counter Western pressure over its role in the pro-Russian insurgency in eastern Ukraine. The program is drawing Serbia, which harbors EU dreams, back toward the Russian orbit, and is targeting Germany, the United States and other Western powers. The operation has worried the European Union enough to prompt it to draw up a blueprint for fighting Russia's disinformation campaign, although details have not yet been released. Lyuda Savchuk, a single mother with two children, worked in the St. Petersburg "troll factory" until mid-March. The 34-year-old journalist said she had some idea of the Orwellian universe she was entering when she took the job, but underestimated its intensity and scope. msn.com ;

I wouldn't even be surprised if such political trolls aren't even really tied to the politics they espouse, they're just there to create strife, confusion, division and polarization, like little demons lol

The said thing is, many net trolls do that just for kicks, they don't even get paid

Is that you Vlad? Do you pay more than George Soros? - NM

What destroying our country is the anti-freedom movement. Obama is the symptom, not the - disease. We are regulated,

legislated, nanny-stated, and controlled well beyond freedom. So we’ve had a generation now whose idea of freedom is not self responsibility but dependence on government.

It's not Fox destroying our country. I doubt that generation even watches Fox. They watch comedies like Jon Stewart, a pretend news show.
Remember what Reagan said, "Freedom is never more than - a generation away from extinction,

We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
