Advertisements

Ads have been spotted in at least two dozen cities across the country asking for operatives to come help riot and protest in DC on Inauguration Day. These ads have offered applicants $2,500 per month.

“We are strategists mobilizing millennials across the globe with seeded audiences and desirable messages,” says the website. “With absolute discretion a top priority, our operatives create convincing scenes that become the building blocks of massive movements. When you need the appearance of outrage, we are able to deliver it at scale while keeping your reputation intact.”

More than 100 left-wing groups, led by organizations such as Occupy Inauguration and the Disrupt J20 coalition, are calling on Trump foes to participate in inauguration protests being organized in Washington, D.C., and all 50 states.

A search by the Washington Times showed the Backpage.com ads also ran in Austin, Charlotte, Colorado Springs, Columbus, Denver, Detroit, El Paso, Fort Worth, Jacksonville, Oakland, Oklahoma City, Omaha, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Tulsa, and Washington, D.C.

$2500 per snowflake. Should be able to scrounge up a few offended kids. Do they get bonuses for flinging poo?

They are fake ads designed to downplay protests. No one pays $2500 for someone to carry a silly sign.

The ads came from an entity which was set up few weeks ago and claims to have organized 48 events around the nation for 17 different causes. Not possible.

It has fake written all over it. And what kind or moron would make it public?

Doesn't cost anything to post fake ads, but it helps someone say "they are paid protestors". It seems team Trump is little nervous about the disapproval ratings..... Clumsy attempt at mind control, but I this kind of thing will be common in the coming years.
