"Russians are using “false personas [and] fake media accounts” online. "


“Other countries, like China for example, have very active foreign malign influence efforts in this country,”




FBI Director Christopher Wray





While many seem to believe in "Deep State" and that our county is being subverted by "insiders" with little or no evidence, the truth is "outsiders"/foreign countries continue their brainwashing of the US masses on a daily basis.


I am of the opinion that these foreign campaigns are having a profound effect on the general population. Especially those less educated and less savvy that already hold animosity toward government in general. By spreading dissent through misinformation, the fundamental ideology of truth and justice is questioned and the rule of anarchy and weakening social structure increases. Its part of a larger game plan of 'if you can't defeat the military, defeat the people that support it and the military will be defeated as well.'


So days I feel this disinformation campaign is so widespread you can not escape it, not even here.

Our own news, government and politicians in general spread more disinformation than anyone else. Start focusing there.

Have no doubt that some of it is from "friendly" nations.

Sure, news and politicians have a slant, but the fact that this is your response on this forum either means 1) the foreign disinformation campaign worked on you or 2) this is a bot account run out of a foreign country.

I recommend turning off the teevee and closing your social media accounts. Try some yoga.

You are simply projecting here.

LOL. I'm not a bot account or spreading disinformation. What did I say that was inaccurate? Your post was literally doing the job of a disinformation campaign.

What I worry more is our media defining what is "disinformation" and encouraging censorship to "protect" us. For me, it sounds like we're making a pact with the devil. I say, go to hell. I rather the American people determine what's disinformation than our corrupt media or big corporations like FB, google, etc.
