Russian bots created or infiltrated groups in Houston to hold rallies.


They controlled the pros and cons yelling at each at a mosque. IIRC, it was before the election.

The Russians were only able to rally around 10 against removing Sam Houston's statue. It was even publicized in the daily paper. There were 60 counter protesters.

I expect there are a few Communist sympathizers on this board. Not near as many as there are bots.

You guy really don't think through your nonsense.
How so? Wouldn't it benefit our enemies if the US has unfettered access to guns and we just kill each other instead of them having to do it?

Sowing of more discord amongst Americans?

You dont really think your replies through much do you? The NRA is a great tool, they have deep political connections, and can be guaranteed to fund one side. Plus if they get caught at it-well...bonus! Because many will defend the NRA heavily. I honestly cant think of a better tool.
Bingo.

Yes, Virginia, there really were Communist spies in the United States during the so-called “McCarthy era.” In fact, it now appears that even the slandered and smeared “red-baiters” of the period were unaware of just how far Soviet Communist subversion had penetrated. It must be added that even during the period of the so-called “witch hunt” there was more than enough evidence to prove the reality of Soviet Communist spying to any objective person. But, of course, if one is going to pass for an “educated,” “respectable” person, objective thinking must be eschewed—it’s simply not a Darwinian survival trait in modern America.


From Lenin onward Soviet Communist leaders have preached the necessity of underground activities, with foreign governments the key target for infiltration. The evidence for this from many countries is overwhelming. Communists in government engaged in espionage and acted to influence policy in a pro-Soviet direction. Many of the individuals engaged in these activities were Communist Party members; others were fellow travelers, who despite their lack of party discipline, sought to advance the interests of Soviet Communism.

Your pos "dossier" is GARBAGE, and that is ALL that needs to be said of it.
Ron Unz blows crap like a squid blows ink. I have no intentions of wasting time on such an idiot. As I said, I go to source documents whenver they are available, and would suggest you do the same to avoid looking uninformed when you do things like parroting a right-wing blogger.

BTW - They're coming for 2018 as well. Get ready for a wave of pro-Trump BS all over Twitter, Facebook, and every message board they can find.

There was nothing in that article to support the headline, unless you think #guncontrolnow is a pro-gun message.

So if it weren't for the Russians, all cities would be more like Chicago? Interesting
