CNN: Russian Twitter account linked to “‘Who’s Who’ of right-wing and libertarian media icons,” including Pamela Geller

40

What? Now I’m a Russian spy?

This is a whole CNN story about one Twitter account. Did that account actually lead someone who would have voted for Hillary to vote for Trump? Almost certainly not. The real intent of this story is to demonize voices of freedom — including me — and other voices on the right, and to give the impression that we are somehow false and anti-American — retweeted by a Russian bot! We must be Russian spies! Or not really as popular with real American as CNN’s hard-left talking heads are!

This is nonsense, of course. If the enemedia propaganda machine were broken, Americans would vote for conservatives in much greater numbers than they do now. The left knows this, too. That’s why CNN publishes articles like this one.

“Who is @TEN_GOP from the Russia indictment? Here’s what we found reading 2,000 of its tweets,” by Aaron Kessler, CNN, February 17, 2018:

WASHINGTON (CNN) – The posts read like a “Who’s Who” of right-wing and libertarian media icons: links to Alex Jones. Pamela Geller. Breitbart.

The mysterious Twitter accounts named in Robert Mueller’s indictment Friday were long-suspected of being sock puppets of a Russian influence operation. Now, a federal grand jury has agreed.

So just what did @TEN_GOP tweet about? And what’s the story with another named in the indictment, @March_for_Trump?

Both accounts have been suspended by Twitter, but more than 2,000 archived tweets from the accounts obtained by CNN show they helped spread numerous stories aimed at helping Trump or attacking Hillary — sometimes at the same time.

In one particularly meta instance, “March for Trump” retweeted a post by Donald Trump himself — which in turn linked to a Breitbart article about Bill Clinton rape allegations.

It was one of at least three times the account retweeted Trump directly last year, according the posts reviewed. Another involved Trump touting his post-debate poll numbers, while a third — on Election Day itself — featured a video of Trump urging his supporters to get out the vote.

On Tuesday, a federal grand jury indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities for allegedly running a wide-ranging influence operation spearheaded by a group known as the Internet Research Agency. It allegedly included the two fake accounts and social media pages and groups designed to attract American audiences, the indictment states.

“The defendants allegedly conducted what they called information warfare against the United States, with the stated goal of spreading distrust towards the candidates and the political system in general,” Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said Friday.

The “Tennessee GOP” account was prolific in sharing pro-Trump content, including postings that linked to the Alex Jones site InfoWars and another run by Pamela Geller.

“Ohio HONOR KILLING: Muslim Father Shoots Daughter in the Head!!! BAN ISLAM!” the account tweeted in July, linking to this post on Geller’s site. Another tweet directed readers to an InfoWars article saying that Hillary Clinton facilitated an arms sale to ISIS.

Brietbart content was particularly popular, with the account posting at least five tweets that included links to Brietbart, and at least another two retweets of Brietbart’s posts directly.

“BREAKING! MI6 Spy Found Dead in Bag in Bath Had Hacked Clinton Data” read one.

The account even shared at least one article written by Russia’s own state-controlled news agency, Russia Today, known as RT. In July @TEN_GOP touted a supposedly salacious scoop by RT: “Leaked: Sanders wanted to get plane in exchange for backing Clinton!” it posted….

Left/Liberal pro-jihadi have only 1 agenda . smear right wing and anti-islam bloggers so they can brainwash the public to accept their idealogy.

Dems supported Iran nuke deal after getting paid by Iranian lobbyists https://tinyurl.com/mcake4d

Not one MSM covered it and nobody bats an eye . They sold out American/israeli interest for few 10,000’s dollars.

Amen! Great post. Churchill is rolling in is grave along with a myriad of others, who fought, were maimed or killed fighting for Democracy. Meaning, the men and women from the past, present and unfortunately the future. It may be on our soil if this Republic is overcome by the Progressives/Democrats, CNN/MSM and their ally appendage, Islam.

I think this post is about a prostitution ring. I’ve never seen one of these ads that had a man in the photo or an ugly woman.
What goes here? This post above is an advertisement. I wonder how much she paid for it? And the link goes to some long list, not to giigles.

I like the Churchill Quote here ! If you have enemies – GOOD! Shows that you have stood up for something in your life!
I would Imagine Pamela Geller has no shortage of Haters & Nor Does Spencer or Douglas Murray or Mark Steyn.
Be also nice to see the Canadians wake up to the CON MAN TRUDEAU who has more faces than the TOWN CLOCK & is out to stay in as long as humanly possible!
BUT he does have a NASTY AGENDA & that is to ISLAMISIZE CANADA & have ISLAM as the SUPREME FAITH & to END FREE SPEECH! ( M-103 is the START!)
I hope that the electorate are now at least a bit awake.
I will have more faith once I see C.A.I.R OUT along with IBRAHIM HOOPER & LINDA SARSOUR Silenced.

I’m not buying ANY of this BS. It’s one giant smokescreen put on by the media freaks colluding with both democrats and the FBI in their FAILED attempt to nullify the election of Donald Trump as president. They got caught, and all they have left is to spin this into a meaningless joke of a story. We went from high treason to this. WTF?!
You nutjobs LOST the election. It’s over. The Obama regime is gone. No more slobbering liberals. Get used to your new president. Now it’s time for some of you to go to jail. Sound good?

It’s a given that the Fifth Column CNN would link Pamela Geller and others of Conservatism’s who’s who. I am sure Pamela is quaking at the keyboard with this fetid, fake-news exposé from the perfidious gobs of CNN’s talking-heads. This so-called news provider, CNN has the credibility of a bag of rocks. CNN and other PRAVDA counterparts will do anything to add one more mindless, couch potato to bump-up their ratings. Those believing CNN et al are consummate journalists are either dead wrong or brain-dead.

WOW!!!

A twitter account retweets stories condemning Islam, Bill Clinton rapes, and supports Trump?

What’s next? A story on the “virtues” of Islam, pussy-grabbing, and why Hillary is the most-qualified person ever to be President?

Oh, that’s right…we’ve had those already. And look how it turned out for Donald Trump.

MAGA!

If this hyperbole (of Russian “interference”) will not stop and stop soon, then yes, we all will be accused as “Russian spies.” Crazy. Revisit Stalinist era of show trials: it’s coming to America. The only question is WHO will be the most prosecuted and use McCarthyism “theme” as the last resort of defense: they are we.

Among all the other damage the Leftist media and the Leftist Democrat party are doing to our country is their desperate exploitation of and using Russia as a foil for their own self-serving, lunatic purposes, and in so doing personally offending virtually every Russian. This from the people who claim to be defenders of dignity for everyone. What a joke.

To the lunatic Left in this country, Haiti is virtuous beyond reproach, while Russia is a punching bag.
The lunatic Left is so juvenile and drug-addicted they haven’t ever learned to respect your enemy.
And a failure to learn to respect your enemy is a recipe for disaster. Thanks for nothing lunatic Left.

Actually, Rush (Limbaugh) coined that word (at least, that’s what i know or think!). But your point is well-taken. WE know that the MSM/LSM is totally corrupt and in the bag for Soros et al, but now we have to educate THE MASSES/Americans who don’t have a freakin’ clue!

So true. They really don’t have a clue. Huge swathes of America welcomed Big Brother into their homes and haven’t switched off for a moment.

However, their is hope. The people voted for Mr.Trump.
And the moral to the story:
Don’t count the American people out just yet.

CNN is known for utter lies and fake news but everyone knows that. The reason behind this list is to create enmity between Russia and people in the list. After this list, these people or their children cannot go to Russia, even on vacation or tour. Further, they cannot meet any important Russian person with out attracting suspicion. In a way, they are arrested or their freedom is curtailed. This makes them conform to political correctness, a deep state trait.

What I would like to learn from CNN, the Leftist Media, the Dimm Party, Mueller and his very own Deep State, is would anyone have noticed or lifted a finger over any of this if they weren’t conspiring (not colluding) to steal the 2016 election from the candidate I voted for, and then to topple that candidate from the Presidency, as in a coup.

Chris Wolf

Now it appears Mueller is extorting another Manafort deputy campaign aide to put more pressure on Manafort to avoid more bogus charges and prosecution by apparently agreeing to conspire with the Deep State to lie about something Mueller wants to pin on Trump, some shred of “evidence” that in and of itself is a lie.
Mueller is as dirty as we’ve ever seen in this country.
And he knows he either has to take down Trump or face his own prosecution on malfeasance and conspiracy charges.
Dirty Dimm immigrant Ted Lieu D-CA says on CNN this President’s Day “as a prosecutor” he has been taught to “look for consciousness of guilt.” He goes on to splain to co-conspirator Anchor Berman that “an innocent person would let the investigation proceed to its conclusion” instead of “trying to obstruct it.”
This is a good example of how immigrants, legal as well as illegal, from all around the world in the last half century –Taiwan, in Lieu’s own sad case — can’t fully grasp the foundations of freedom and liberty under the law in our country.

Ironic that so many liberals seem to hate Russia today. Weren’t left-wingers the most likely to sympathize with the Soviets during the Cold War?
